THE ROYAL YACHTS.—Hundreds are daily availing
themselves of the kindness of Lord A. Fitsclarenee in
allowing every one who pleases to go over the Victoria
and Albert and the Fairy. The boatmen are reaping a
good harvest. _ _ _

The yachting season, which has been so long delayed
this year, appears to be aboat to commence in earnest.
Numerous fashionable visitors are daily arriving, and
the applications for houses increase; but we never re-
member so many houses to let at this late period before.
THE HARVEST.—AII sorts of corn promise well.
The harvest will commence in about three weeks. Beans,
peas, turnips, &c., want rain. The potatoes never looked
better, but cannot long stand out against the continued
thought.

NELsom's COLUMN.—On Friday the works at
Nelson's Column, Tiafalgar-square, after a lapse of
nearly two months, were once more resumed, and, in
conseqii.,:nce of the recent grant made by the House of
Commons, it is said that this national monument is at
length to be comp!eted without any further delay.
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The late assistant-surgeon
of the Conway, Mr. Thomas Hart, committed suicide in
Portsmouth this morning, leaving a note at his hotel,
that dis:topointed hopes of his promotion hard been the
eaase. It should however be observed, that one of his
messmarrss saw him tipsy in the Lair last night.
The marble statue of Prince Albert, erected by the
merchants and underWriteis, in- commemoration of his
Rod al Highness having laid the first stone of the Royal
Exchanue, has been placed on the pedestal in the vesti-
bule of Lloyd's, and will he open. for the inspecdon of the
public on Monday next, the 19th instant, at two o'clock.
The funeral of Parker, the young man who so
barbarously murdered Nlatild% Griffi )9 and then de-
stroys d his oN n life, at Bermondsey. took place on Friday
shortly before midnight, and was attended by an immense
multi'ude of persons.
WAKEFIELD CORN M :EXIST, JULY 16.—We have
moderate arrivals to this day's market. At prices
rather exceeding those obtainable last Friday, we have
a retail demand for wheat ; the fineness of the weather
preventing extensive operations. Little passing in
barley, and no change in value. Ora, and shelling fully
as well sold. There is an improved demand for beans
at 2s, to 3s. per quarter more mom 7,
