in the following order:—Enigma, lb. 21w. 155.; Ranger,

yacht lost her pump spear overboard, and in consequence
had so much water in her hold that it completely stop

Buoy the yachts returned homewards with flowing
sheets before the gale, and arrived at the flag-ship, The
Queen of the Ocean, belonging to the Commodore, in
the following order of time:—Enigma, 25 tons, 3h. 25m.;
Ranger, 12 tons, 4h. lm.; Zephyr, 29 tons, 4h. 3m. 255.;
Gem, 15 tons, 4h. 9m. 155.; Hebe, 15 tons, 4h. 9m. 455.;
Seagull, 31 tons, 4h. 15m. 355. The Enigma won the
first prize, a handsome silver punch-bowl. The Ranger
the second prize, a fine silver salver, and the Zephyr a
silver claret-jug. All the yachts came in more or less
complete wrecks, not one of them escaping without some
misfortune, and the crews and owners completely
drenched with the sea-water. The prizes were presented
by the Commodore to the successful candidates, who
complimented them on the very gallant manner in
which the yachts were sailed. Claret was liberally sup-
plied around, out of the plate, by the winners, to the
ladies and gentlemen on board of the steamer, and the
company were landed at about 6 P.M., all of whom went
away fully impressed that they had witnessed a contest
never exceeded on the River Mersey for true nautical
valour and of exciting interest.

That sparkle with such wondrous brilliancy,
They scorn to grasp the common light of day.
lOLLNTHE —You ask of what avail—how can you ask?
And yet, I ne'er have given the matter thought.
My eyes! my eyes! 'Tis easy to perceive.
At eve, when I am weary, slumber first
Droops heavy on my eyes, and thence it spreads
O'er all my body, with no thought of mine,
As feeling vibrates from each finger's tip.
Thus then I know my eyes avail me much.
And bast not thou experience had enough,
Wherein thine eyes can minister to thee?
Only the other morn, as I was planting
A little rosebush here, a nimble snake
Leapt out and bit me in the finger; then
With the sharp pain I wept. Another time,
When I had pined for many tedious days,
, Because my father was detained from home,
I wept for very gladness when he came!
Through tears I gave my bursting heart relief,
And at mine eyes it found a gushing vent.
Then never ask me, unto what avail
Omnipotence bath gifted me with eyes.
Through them, when I am weary, comes repose ;
Through them my sorrow's lightened; and through them
My joy is raised to rapture."
There are many other equally beautiful passages,
particularly where the Ring explains the nature and
power of light. We trust that our readers will judge
`or themselves this exquisitely poetical sketch. "Irish
Rivers" traces the "Lee" from its junction with the
Sullane below Macroom, until it loses itself in the
ocean ; and various legendary tales are related of the
districts through which it passes. " Paddiana" is a
very severe criticism on a recently published work,
which appears to have excited the indignation of the
reviewer in an extraordinary degree. " Mirston of
Dunoran" is concluded. The unfortunate man ac-
knowledges himself the real murderer of Sir Wyn-
ston Berkeley, and perishes by his own hand. There
are two other reviews—" The Artist's Married Life"
and " The Early Progress of Christianity." Mr.
Mangan has contributed one of his delightful transla-
tions—" The Eve of Saint Silvester." "The Irish
Fisheries" contains a sad account of neglected oppor-
unities, and offers some suggestions for turning to
advantage the stores of wealth that exist in the bays
and creeks by which the coast of Ireland is indented.
It ii,andeed lamentable to find such culpable careless-
ness on the part of an almost starving population.
Something, we trust, may speedily be done to stimu-
late their energies, and to make the Irish fisheries a
source of national wealth. "The State Prosecutions,"
the concluding article, is strongly tinctured by
political predilections. Although we must dissent
from the censure passed on the Government and the
Roman Catholics as a body, we cordially concur in
thinking that Mitchel was the real leader of the in-
surrectionary movement in Ireland, and that in his
case " the righteous penalty of the law honestly
administered has, in crushing one public offender,
saved perhaps the lives and fortunes of innocent thou-
sands. On the whole, the number is an excellent
one, worthy of the well-established reputation of this
talented periodical.

AMERICAN NEWS.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 30.
The British mail steamer Tay, from Vera Cruz for
Southampton, touched at Ship Island, below New
Orleans, on the 20th inst. She brings dates from the
city of Mexico to the 13th, and from Vera Cruz to
the 16th inst.

Passengers who arrived by the Tay say that the
treaty of peace will certainly be ratified by the
Mexican Congress. They further state that the
treaty would be finally acted on on the 2.5zh instant,
when it was generally supposed that the vote would
be 61 Deputies for the ratification and 14 for conti-
' nuing the war.
General Herrera had been elected President of
Mexico in opposition to his own inclination.
Pena y Pena, the late President, in a lengthy
message strenuously advocated the ratification of the
treaty. He takes a bold position, and declares every-
thing to be secondary to the question of peace or war.
He further argues that the terms proposed by the
United States are milder than could have been ex-
pected, and that Mexico had no reason to presume
that the stipulations would be modified.

Congress at Queretaro, there being thirty-three
senators and seventy-five deputies in daily attend-
ance. The treaty was to be discussed with closed

attention, but it is only right to state that the books of
the custom-houses afford no true indication of the
matter. For example, the steamer America took out
more than 500,000 dol s., but only 348,000 dolls. were
registered. It is ascertained also that the passengers
who arrived in the Henry Clay brought over 200,000
dolls. (none registered) ; and it may be remarked that
the immense emigration from Europe (en one day last
week 3,400 emigrants arrived at New York !) pours un-
known and almost untold amounts into this country. A
large failure has occurred at St. Jago de Cuba, entailing
a loss on the West India trade of New York.

CANADA.
(From the Quebec Chronicle, May 24.)
Politically, we have but little to note, save that the
election of a member to represent this good city in Par-
liament, comes off on the 30th instant. There are, in
all, tour candidates in the field, viz , Messrs. Ross, Le-
gard, Glackemeyer, and Methot. In a former summary
we mentioned that the cause of this election was the
elevation of Mr. Aylwin, one of our city members, to
the bench.

We have been informed that Dr. Wolfred Nelson,
member for Richelieu, is coming out with a strong mani-
festo against Mr. Papineau, in an early number of the
M:nerve. It will be remembered, by most of our readers,
that Dr. Nelson was one of those exiled to Bermuda,
during Lord Durham's administration, for participation
in the rebellion of 1838.
The Montreal papers state that Mr. Papineau's sup-
porters proclaim that their real object in agitating the
subject of a separation of Lower from Upper Canada is
with a view of proposing an annexation of the former to
the United States.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
OWES, JUNE 14.
THE CHARTISTS ARE LANDED— C
THE TROOPS CALLED
ouT.—Some foolish people at East Cowes allowed them-
selves to be grossly imposed upon yesterday, and in turn
shamefully imposed on others. A party of pleasure-
seekers, deputies to the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows
meeting at Southampton, landed at Cowes yesterday,
from the 31almesbury steamer. From there being so
many in one party, some were curious to account for
their visit. One said they were Chartists ; another.
pleasure folks going to Newport fair. As they inquired
the road to that place nothing more was thought of them.
They proceeded through the town, some taking the East
Cowes ferry, the story that they were Chartists follow-
ing them. They expressed a wish to see the Queen and
Osborne, and asked the road. This was enough to
frighten a great character ; he sent off an express to
Osborne that the Chartists were in East Cowes and on
their way to the Palace. To account for the smallness of
their numbers, the main body were said to have landed
on the beach in front of the Palace. At length the)
made their appearance at the principal entrance to the
park—(at least some of them did, for their number,
were now reduced to eighteen men and one woman)—
and requested to be admitted, and were refused ; they
pressed their suit, and, the police say. said the place wa, theirs—that it was bought with the people's money, and
that, i: they could not get in at that gate, they would at
the next. It is further said that the police knew two of
them as Chartist leaders. They proceeded on their
route, which led to another gate ; the police to cut them
off. Expresses were sent to Osborne House and to East
Cowes, and from thence to Parkhurst for the troops.
FromseEnast Cowes the coast-guardsmen were mustered,
and t off in carriages to Osborne, armed as they are
on their nightly prowl for smugglers. One of them is
stated to have said, he saw that the Chartists had arms
concealed as they passed, having pockets in their
trousers for their arms, as carpenters for their rules. The
42d Highlanders and the Rifles were marched down with
all speed. The report of the Chartist attack was also
but at West
sent to West Cowes and the Royal Yacht Squadron house,
with the brotherhood of the Manchester Unity, and on
Cowes some of the party still remained
hearing of the terrible invasion immediately explained
that the party that had caused so much alarm were not
Chartists, but Odd Fellows. What a story for Punch!

.HE LATE MURDER IN THE HOUSE Or CORREC-
TION.—Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, the jury,
which, on Monday last, was impanelled before Mr.
Wakley, M.P.,
in the House of Correction, on view of
the body of William Henry Woodhouse, the warder, who
was murdered ou Saturday last in the prison, by a pri-
soner named George William Hewson, against whom a
verdict of wilful murder was returned, reassembled for
the purpose of signing the official verdict for the trans-
mission to the Central Criminal Court. On Monday
last the coroner left the warrant for the committal of the
accused, which on Tuesday was laid before a meeting of
the visiting magistrates, when, as the prisoner could not
be removed without an order from the Secretary of
State, being under a sentence of two years' imprisonment
for a former offence, a communication was made to Sir
G. Grey. Yesterday the Coroner and jury were in-
formed that the Secretary of State had that morning, at
nine o'clock, forwarded an order for the prisoner's re-
moval to the Old Bailey. The witnesses were then se-
verally sworn and bound over to prosecute, and in the
course of the day the accused was conveyed to the Old
Bailey.
doni The ladies patronesses of the grand annual Cale-
an Ball, under the immediate patronage of her
Moat Gracious Majesty, met at Willis's Rooms yester-
day, to make the final arrangements for this splendid
costume ball. The Duchess of Norfolk and the Duchess
of Atholl have kindly formed a quadrille, in which the
daughters of the ladies patronesses take part; the
Countess de Flahault a quadrille of all nations, in which
several foreigners of distinction have wished to join;
the Lion. Lady Duff has a quadrille of the time of 1745,
in which the picturesque costume worn at the grand
festivities at Holyrood House will be Tully carried
