ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGArrA.

On Wednesday the deferred raco for her Majesty's
Cup took place. It was open for all yachts belonging to
the Royal Yacht Squadron, yawls to have half their ton-
nage added, and cutters to have two-thirds of their tonnage
added. The yachts which started were the Vanguard,
the Egeiia, the Arrow, the Guinevere, the Hirondelle, the
Flying Cloud, and the Christabel. The time taken at the
eastern end of the course was as under :

H. H. S.
Hirondelle .•• ... ... .8 • ••• •• • 127 0
Vanguard 1 30 20
Christabel ... 132 34
Egeria ... 136 7
Flying Cloud ... ... 148 4
Arrow ... ... 148 4

The Guinevere was not timed. The course was now to
the westward, with the first ebb of the tide, and there was
somewhat of a freshening of the wind from the north-
west. On coming back to Cowes the following time was
taken :

H. M. S.
Hirondelle ... 4 6 0
Vanguard ... ... ... •• • •• • II 411 35
Christabel ... ... ... ••• ... ... 415 30
Guinevere ... 416 31
Egeria ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 423 0
Arrow ... ... ... ... ... ... 427 0
Flying Cloud ... ... 429 15

The course was now to the westward to a mark boat off
Yarmouth, and back to Cowes; but that could not pos-
sibly be covered before the starting of the boat for South-
ampton.

ORANGE SYMPATHY WITH PRUSSIA.—As a set-off
to the Roman Catholic expressions of sympathy with
France, the Orangemen of Enniskillen held a meeting in
the town on Tuesday evening, condemning that Power
and extolling Prussia. A hope was expressed that Eng-
land would not allow France to behave dishonourably
with regard to Belgium. A resolution was passed to hold
a mass meeting at Dromard on the 12th inst., to express
srmpathy with Prussia.

NATIONAL ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION.—The pre
sent aspect of affairs on the Continent will probably pro-
duce an alteration in the programme of the movements of
the National Artillery Association at Shoeburyness this
year. It was calculated that fifty-nine artillery volunteer
corps would send to the camp about 105 detachments,
comprising some 1,000 men ; but it is said to be now pro-
bable that some relaxation in the rules of the association
with respect to the dates of entries will be made. It is
even said that at the time of the meeting, which is fixed
to commence on Monday, the 15th inst., and terminate
with the distribution of prizes on the following Saturday,
should be extended to a fortnight.

THE SCOTCH MOORS.—The moors in Lanark shire
give every promise of fair sport during the present month.
From various districts, ranging from Dolphinton to Strat-
haven, we hear that there are generally from six to eight
young grouse in every covey, and that by the 12th current
the majority will be strong on the wing. Some fears are
entertained that the birds will suffer from the late drought
and intense heat, but veteran keepers do not share these
apprehensions. Sportsmen are rapidly preparing for the
moors, the advertised ground is nearly all let, and there
are apparently to be a number of new tenants this season.

THE LATE LORD CLAREMioisr.—Tile following
States formally condoled with the British Government on

Holland, Belgium, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Persia, the
United States, Portugal, Brazil, Honduras, Peru,

ATTEMPAITED MURDER AT LIVERPOOL—At the
Liverpool police-court, on Wednesday, Edwin Swift, quite a
young man, was charged with attempting to murder Mr.
Henry Proctor, licensed victualler, Hatton-garden, in
that town, by whom he was employed as barman. Havina
stolen Mr. Proctor's watch and chain, and between £4
and £5 from a cashbox or till, the prisoner absconded, but
was apprehended in Scotland a few days afterwards. He
was committed for trial at the assizes for attempting to
murder. Janet Lockie, his sweetheart, was sent for trial
for feloniously receiving the watch and chain.
THE HEREFORD BANK EMBEZZLEMENT.—The
trial of Richard Greenhow, and Foster James Bellamy,
for embezzling sums of £3,657155. 2d., and £964 19s. 11d.,
the property of the Hereford Branch of the West of
England and South Wales District Banking Company,
took place on Wednesday. The grand jury, in the course of
the afternoon, having found a true bill against the pri-
soners, they were called upon to plead, and pleaded
" guilty." They appeared much depressed by the dis-
graceful position in which they were placed. The counsel
in the case were engaged in the other court, and, as they
had 5,,..ie remarks to offer to the court in mitigation of
punishment, sentence was deferred.
