COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
APRIL 7, wind S.S. E., light. —The Isabella, Blyth, having
repaired the damage she received in coming in contact with a
French ship, took on board the mails, and sailed at three r. at.
this day: 12 of her crew Were taken out on Alonday, they
having refused to proceed in her, in consequence of her being
worked by steam; in Court Jack did not complain of the pro-
visions, nor the treatment, but he did not like steamers ; did
not know the Isabella was a steamer when he signed articles, or
he'd never have crossed the paper ; did not like the smoke, nor
the funnel, but more particularly the paddles ; could not sleep
for them ; if they were not always going he thought they were ;
they were always in his head, sleeping and waking, and besides
he would not carry cinders about for nobody.
The Court—Then you must be committed for 30 days. Did
not care for that, anything was better than a steamer ; and to
prison the whole went.
OUT OF THE FRYING-PAN INTO THE FIRE.—The first
day's work at the treadmill convinced eight out of the twelve
they were wrong, and one of them exclaimeil "My eyes, mess-
mates, this will never do; we are out of luck, and we had
better cut, and join the ship; 1 understands a little about a
wheel afloat, but bread and water, and working this thing
won't do for me ; I don't like this going on and not getting a-
head." some were for trying it another day, but the dread of
the ship's sailing without them induced eight to solicit to be
put on board again which was done, and they were not a little
pleased at the change, and will not again in a hurry let their
idle prejudices introduce them to the treadmill.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
The Secretary has sold Mr. Edward Heneage's cutter yacht
Sparrovthawk, of 84 tons, to Thos, Hallifax, Esq. ; and Lord
H. Cholmondeley's cutter yacht, Zephyr, of 56 tons, to A. E.
Bowen, Esq., of Dublin.
The next General Meeting of the Members of the Royal
Yacht Squadron will be held at the Thatched House Tavern,
on Saturday the Bth of May.

This season is to all appearance the finest the farmers in the
Isle of Wight have had for many years. There is more grass
in their meadows than there was in Max list year, and the
seed grass is still forwarder. They have had excellent
weather to get in their oats, beans, and peas, and they hare
come up quicker and more regular than common. A conti-
nuance of the present fine dry weather will bring on the wheat,
and forward barley sowing, which will become general next
week.
The Lambs are particularly fine and forward; 150 were for-
warded by rail on Saturday, and 300 this day for London.lvestCowes,
DIED.--On April 7th, at Mill Hill House,
Mary Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Edward Osborn, Osborn, aged
nine years.
