COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, Noy. 10.
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
T. D. P. Ashley, Esq., has sold his cutter-yacht An-
telope of 90 tons, and R. Alexander, Esq., the Undora
cutter of 59 tons.

The yachting season has been brought to a close, the
signalman is no longer to be seen at his summer station
at the Semaphore, the Royal Yacht Squadron House is
no longer the resort of England's aristocracy, nor Cowes
Roadstead filled with their splendid yachts; the Vice-
Commodore (generally the last afloat) has struck his
flag for the season, and the keel of the Flirt is stuck fast
in the mud of the Medina.

At West Cowes, on the 9th inst., the lady of Dr. Hoff-
nseistor, surgeon to the Royal Yacht Squadron, of a
daughter.
At Bath, on Tuesday last, in his 86th year, Lieute-
nant-General Richardson, of Mill Hill House, Cowes.
He had seen much service in the East Indies.

ADULT DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTION.—This
morning a meeting of the committee of management of
the above charity was held at the board-room, 26, Red
Lion-square, Bloomsbury; John Wood, Esq., in the
chair. From the report it appeared that there was a
sad increase of applicants to the charity, numbering
among them several from the provinces, with recommen-
dations from the clergy of the different districts. In
various instances the poor afflicted creatures seeking the
asylum have been liberally educated at some of the many
schools established purposely to teach the deaf and dumb
reading, writing, and other useful branches of know-
ledge, but they have been wholly unacquainted with any
trade or occupation, and hence their state of destitution.
In most of these cases the boys after education have
been apprenticed to some trade, but owing to their
of and consequent want of quickness and general
aptness for trade, they do not always, and indeed very
seldom, learn the avocation to which they are appren-
ticed, unless they are ruled and managed by masters
who fully understand the wants and manners of those
deprived of hearing and speech. These circumstances,
it was :stated, fully accounted for the great number of
applicants to au institution where, like this, some
thoroughly useful trade was taught in addition to a
proper care being taken of the education of the pupils.
JEWS AND GENERAL LITERARY AND SCIENTIC
IstsTraiTlON.—The opening of the lecture session of this
institution, was celebrated on Thursday evening by a con-
versazione, when the reading-rooms were attended by a
large concourse, and were decorated with various ob-
jects illustrative of the arts and sciences. On the
platform was the Rev. the Chief Rabbi, and the Presi-
dent, Hanaeel de Castro, E.g., Dr. Van Oven, Colonel
Gawler, and a limber of ladies. The President ad-
dresed the assembly: he stated that 118 lectures had
been delivered at the institution during the past four ses-
sions, illustrated by diagrams and costly apparatus. The
library for reference and circulation, now contains up-
wards of 4,000 volumes, amongst which are works of the
higlost reputation in Hebrew, German, and English
literature. The number of life subscribers was stated to
be 71, making, with subscribing members, 302. The
Rev. the Chief Rabbi (Dr. Adler) addressed the meeting
at some length in favour of thu objanco of the ioetitution.
He was followed by Mr. S. Samuel, Mr. Mottram, and
Colonel Gawler. The secretary then invited the com-
pany to visit the library and reading-rooms, and sub-
sequently a concert took place, at which a number of
eminent artistes gave their gratuitous services. The
proceedings terminated with the national anthem of
" God save tbe Queen," to which the company responied
in the usual way.
ISLE or Sitsr.—We are happy to hear from our
Skye correspondent, who writes on the 27th October,
that the harvest has been got over favourably:—" We
have had particularly fine weather for the harvest work
for a fortnight past, and the crops have been got in
better this season than for some years. Although the
return is perhaps rather below than above an average
in quantity, the condition in which the corn has been
got in will, I think, make up for this. We have had
very cold north wind during part of the time since my
last communication, and last week we had a little snow,
which, however, remained on the groand for a couple of
days only. We have since that time until to-day had
weather resembling, I should think, what in America
they call their Indian summer.' It has now become
wet and misty—the staple weather of this quarter; but I
believe there is very little corn now exposed in any part
of the island. The disease among the potatoes still
continues, and this—for only a small quantity was
planted by some of the people—has exhausted the whole
stock of some of them already.—lnverness Courier.
Tar ORLEANS FAMILY.—We believe that the
Count and Countess of Neuilly and their family have
within these few days removed from Claremont, and
have taken up their residence at the Star and Garter at
Richmond. Some recent statements which have appeared

mont at the present time

A hest, which had been accidentally confined by a
block of wood in the corner of a house at Keighley, was
lately found alive, after having passed twenty-three
days without food or water, and has since recovered full
vigour, although when discovered she was so much
emaciated as to weigh less than a pound.—Stamford
Mercury.
Some Italian weeds have sprung up on a heap of
volcanic earth that has been imported from Rome to
Dover for the purpose of making cement, and it is
thought not improbable that thesew eeds,wh ich have
hitherto been unknown in England, mayspread into the
neighbouring fields, and ultimately become naturalized
in this country.

have inspected it have left in the visitors' book expres-

of the prison and the manner in which the system is
carried out, some of them adding to it their conviction
that the sum laid out in the alteration has been judici-
ously expended. Upon the prisoners, too, so far as can
be judged from their own statements, the effect is
most salutary, most of them expressing irksomeness at

CARMARTLIENSIIIRE.—PRINCE A mire r AND THE
AGRICULTURE OF THE PRINCIPALITY,—,A valued cor-
respondent announces the pleasing fact that his Royal
Highness Prince Albert has proved that he is not indif-
ferent to the agricultural progress of even this secluded
portion of her Britannic Majesty's dominions, since he
has kindly presented to the Chairman of the Cardiff
Farmer's Club, a young sow and boar of an improved
breed. It is gratifying to find that his Royal Highness's
anxiety to promote the success of agriculture is so wide-
spread and earnest, and we have as sincere gratifica-
tion in being the chroniclers of the fact, as we have no
doubt his Royal Highness had in making the gifts in
question, which will undeniably prove of much benefit
