THAMES YACHT CLUB.

The third match for the season came off yesterday. It was
originally intended that it should be sailed it; ni Erith t, the Nore-
light and back soh', but the want of wind compelled the Commo-
dore (Lord A. Paget) to shorten the course, and the boats, in conse-
quence, only rounded the buoy at Blythe, and then went back to
Erith. The yachts in the match were these :-
1. Belvedere - - 25 tons - - • Lord A. Paget.
2. Ino - - - 25 tons - - - Mr. H. Gibson.
3. Phantom - - 20 tons - - - Mr. Wilkinson.
4. Champion - - 25 tons - - - Mr. Wickam.
5. Romulus - • 32 tons - - - Mr. H. Kennard.
6. Prima Donna - 25 tons - - - Mr. S. Harvey.
7. Cygnet - - 25 tons - - - Mr. IL Lambton.
S. Heroine 35 tons - - - Sir J. Caruso.
9. Fleur de Maire - 25 tons - - - Mr. Twisdeu Hodges.
10. Secret - - - 25 tons - - - Mr. J. W. Smith.
11. Vixen - - - 25 tons.
There was so little wind that it would be impossible to predict, from
what took place yesterday, what aro the respective powers of the
vessels, and what they are capable of performing. The buoy at the
Blythe was rounded thus :
7 mil.uses to 4, the Cygnet.
6 minutes to 4, the Heroine.
5 minutes to 4, the Secret.
2 minutes to 4, the luo.
And the other yachts at some distance behind. At the winning-post
they same in thus :-
21 minutes 3 seconds to 7 o'clock, the Heroine.
17 minutes 10 seconds to 7 o clock, the Cygnet.
15 minutes 10 seconds to 7 o'clock, the Secret.

The cup was, therefore, work by the owner of the Heroine. There
were on board the steamer which accompanied the match, in addi-
tion to a large number of ladies and gentlemen, a very efficient com-
missariat, furnished by Mr. Gore, to whom much credit 'ethic for the
very elegant manner in which he catered. The band of the Horse
Guards (B:ue) and the baud of Mr. Adams were also in attendanee.
In addition to the presenco of Lord A. Paget, there were in the
steamer the Duke of Beaufort, Lrrd . Paget, &c.
LONDON YACHT CLUB.
The first sailing nljtelt ul the wands aniong4 the yachts of this
club was sailed yesterday, but undecided. The following started :
Yachts. Tone. Owners.
Nautilus - 6 --J. T. Helms.
Hazard - 6 - - - Ayckbuurne and Charles.
Don - - - 7 • - J. G .rttner.
The distance was from East Greenwich to Gravesend and back, in-
stead of to Erith, and hence the source of dispute. The Don took
the lead and kept it well, first rounding the flag-boat at ten minutes
past live. As the tern.s of the club which apply to the Erith dis-
tance
state that the first boat must round before fire, the match was
of course at an end. The matter thus stands at present, and will
bear much discus-ion.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT IN PARIS.—We sincerely
regret having to announce the death of Mr. Thomas Lyons, Jun.,
eldest son of Mr. Lyons, of the Srm of Shackel and Lyons, the exten-
sive printers ink ma'ters, or Copp.ce-row, London. From letters
received, it appears that deceased (wit., was engaged in conduct-
ing a large establishment for ink-making, on behalf of his father,
about three miles from Paris, and on the banks of the Seine), pro-
ceeded on Sunday last, with some friends, to St. Cloud, where
they all remained during the night, and on Monday, contrary to
the advice of his companions, he embarked on board a small sail-
ing boat be had purchased, accompanied only by a Swiss labourer,
who was in his employ We know not how far they had progresses
but a sudden gust of wind, about mid-day, upset the boat, when,
melancholy to add, as neither of them could swim, poor Lyons
lost his life, and his companion, who was to all appearance dead,
was, after great perseverance, restored. Twenty minutes elapsed
ere the body of Mr. Lyons was found ; and althougu every endeavour
was made to resucitate him, it proved unavailing. He was in his
twenty-second year, and a young man of considerable intellectual ac-
quirements, possessing every good moral quality and social virtue,
standing upon the pinnacle of estimation with those who knew him in
London, Paris, and a great portion of the continelit, over which he
Was a frequent traveller; he had engrafted himself strongly upon their
affections, promi-ing to adorn in no ordinary degree that portion of
society with which he was identified. His loss will be severely felt by
a doting family, and intensely deplored by his friends and acquaint-
ances, and certaily by the wrier of this humble tribute to his me-
mory, who knew him from infancy.

gether, and last week they went to Gravesend, where they remained
a day and a night. They returned from Gravesend about a quarter
before nine at night, and deceased sent witness's landlady ler some
ginger beer nod ale, of which they all drank. He then borrowed
Ps. of witness's landlady, alleging that he had nothing smaller
than a 51. note. She (witness) had seen deceased change two 5/.
notes, out of which he had paid 2/. for rent, and had redeemed
some articles in pledge for her. When on hoard the steam-boat
he told her that he had a Si. note in his possession, but when
his pockets were searched only three halfpence wore
