RESIGNATION OF THE COMMODORE.
It is with extreme regret that we hear that the
Marquis of Donegan, at this meeting, resigned the office
Of Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. He was
such an ardent supporter of yachting, and has done so
much to improve the build and rig of yachts, that he
Was of all the members the fittest to be commodore. The
tradesmen of this town considered the squadron as fixed
at this port, while the Noble Lord was at its head, he
was so attached to the place. The Earl of Wilton or
the Marquis of Anglesey, will, it is expected, be elected
Commodore at the next meeting, Ist of September.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived
• here at four o'clock, and landed under a salute from the
Royal Yacht Squadron battery.
There is to be a dinner at the Royal Yacht Squadron
Rouse on the 19th instant, and we hope that the ladies
Will not be forgotten, but that there will also be a ball.

LOST AND FOUND.—The signalman of the Royal Yacht
Squadron, on Wednesday evening, picked up on the
Parade a roll of Bank of England notes, which, on exa-
mination proved to be one 1001., and sixteen 51. notes.
He mentioned his luck to the Secretary and the Vice-
t
,Anzmodore,and yesterday ono of the members mentioned
that he had on the former night, lost 1801., but where
r 1 how he could not tell ; the money was restored to
1321 When he gave Godsell Si. for his honesty!
