The Isle of Wight races came off on Tuesday and
Wednesday, the racing was uncommonly good, but the
weather being wet, kept many from attending, still there
was a large company on the ground whe, in spite of the
rain, were much pleased with the sport—it was all neck
and neck work.
The proposed new town at East Cowes is likely to be
proceeded with directly after Michaelmas, when the par-
ties obtain possession ; detached cottage residences are
very much wanted, and from the mildness of the situation
chosen it is likely to become a public favourite.
An inquest was held on Tuesday on the body of
Thomas, who was found drowned near the Vine-quay,
early in the morning. She was a woman of drinking
habits and loose character, having a husband and large
family of children. Considerable sensation was created
by some reports circulated as to where she was last seen;
it appeared that she had left her home and children
about eleven o'clock on the preceding night (her husband
being then attending a benefit club, of which he was
steward), as her body was found at four o'clock the fol-
, lowing morning ; her husband had been pacing the
street during the whole night in search of her. No bruises
were found on the body, and after the most serious con-
sideration of the Jury, they agreed to the verdict of
" Found drowned."
A Church-rate is proposed to be made at Northwood
Church for this parish this evening ; strong parties arc
mustering for and against.
