LONDON YACHT CLUB.

On Monday the second match of the season, by yachts of
the above club, came off. The Lass of Richmond 6team-boat,
with a highly respectable company, including Lady Onslow,
left Temple-bar pier at ten o'clock, for East Greenwich, in
order to accompany the match. The following vessels at
twelve o'clock came to station off the Commodore's (the
Club House) East Lodge, Greenwich
No. Yachts. Tons. Owners.
1. The Cygnet lO T. A. Cox, Esq.
2. Mischief
3. Lady Louisa l2 J. G. Moon, Esq.
The Lady Louisa, at starting, took the lead, and kept it to
the flag buoy off Gravesend, which she rounded at thirty-
five minutes past two o'clock, followed by the Cygnet, five
minutes later. The Mischief had been previously thrown
out of the race by an accident to her gaff. The Lady Louisa
returned to East Greenwich, and came in a winner at twenty-
five minutes past five, beating the Cygnet by a quarter of
an hour.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—The communication
between Portsmouth and London by electric telegraph is
stopped for the present, the lightning have taken such effect
upon the wires as to preclude the possibility of working the
telegraph. At Farnham the shock communicated was se
great as to throw down one of the posts which supports the
wires, and the dial in the Gosport terminus is rendered use-
less by the electric fluid having passed into it and deranged
all the machinery, It is fortunate that the Admiralty have
the eld telegraph or semaphor e to fall back upon.
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE W ILDE.-Sir Thomas Wilde
entered upon his duties as Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas at Staffordshire As.sixot,. His Lordship, who sat in the
Nisi Prius Court, has made a most favourable impression on all par-
ties who have witnessed his labOl us, which have been marked by
great suavity and patience, as weLl as a clear and quick perception
of the points of a case. HIS Lai dsbip is accompanied by Lady
Wilde (lately Mademoiselle D'E.st, 0), who has attracted considerable
attention. in consequence of her a elatlonship to the Royal Family,
being a daughter of the late Dukk of Sussex, by Lady Augusta
Murray, to wham his Royal Ilia .ness was privately married at
Rome. Her Ladyship is almost portly in person, and bears con-
siderable resemblance to members 4.4 the family of George the
Third. Her Ladyship and S Thouuts did not occupy the apart-
ments at the Judges' house, but had lc;kings in the house cl' Mr.
