GERMAN Y.

The Post Gazette of Frankfort says that in conse-
quence of the Germanic Diet having resolved to
maintain the German fleet to the end of the year, the
Prussian Government has abandoned the intention of
purchasing it on its own account; but nevertheless it
intends to organize a small fleet for the Baltic.
The Germanic Diet, in one of its last sittings, re-
solved (saes the Prussian Gazette) that all the
members of the Confederation shall be bound to two-
fifths of the contingents ready within eight days after
receiving a ❑otice that their contingents are required.
The Berlin journals sta.e that the Federal Mditary
Commission has resolved that the federal gar-
rison of Franktert sball contkue to be composed of
Austrian and Bavarian troops, with a detachment of
the troops of another State and a battalion of Frank-
fort troops. The whale force of the g4rrison are to
be placed under the orders of a general of the Con-
federation.

A. letter from Berlin, of the 21st says :—" The
Emperor of AUSTRIA will leave Vienna at the end
of the month to receive the King of PRUSSIA on
the Austria❑ frontier, and accompany him to Ischl.
It is thought that the affairs of Germany will
there receive a definitive solution, particularly as far
at concerns the entrance of Austria entire into the
Germanic Confederation. Prince DE SCHWARTZEN-
BBRG is desirous that the question should be decided
be fore the Germanic Diet adopts any other resolu-
tion. The King of PEUSAA has just conferred the
order of the Red Eagle, second class, on Count
LEON DE LA BORDE."

A lettor from Vienna of the 19th says :—" The
legitimist circle at Frohsdorf was augmented yester-
day by the arrival of the Duke DE LAROCHE, the
the Marqui3 BOURBON DEL MONTE, and Count DE
BLACAS."
The Suabian Iliercury states that the affairs of
Hungary have serioasly occupied the attention of the
Council of Ministers at Vienna, which has decided
that the communal organization should be made pub-
lic in the course of the month. It is to resemble that
of the other countries of the crown, but each commune
may choose the Megyan tongue or one of the Sla-
vonia' ones. The Austrian Slavonians intend hold-
ing a congress at Arnm to propose the adoption of a
common language, which plan the Government does
not oppose. Several Russian savans intend being
present.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

THE QUEEN'S CUP TO YACHTS OF ALL

NATIONS.
COURSE ROUND THE MS OF WIGHT.

COWES, Ana• 25.—We have been disappointed in
our expectations of a " 12 knot breeze " to try the
America's powers in half a gale of wind such as we
had on Sunday, indeed the breeze was not strong
enough to tempt this crack yacht to risk her laurels,
and though at her post she allowed the other yachts
to start without her. The small yachts had the best
of it in beating down the Solent to the Needles ;
when passing Cowes Castle the Wildfire was nearly
a mile a-bead of the Bacchante, the Volanto being
half a mile astern of her, the Alarm being the next
vessel and close on her quarter. After they had
passe-d about an hour the America's spirit moved her
as the breessw freshened, and she stood down atter the
contending fleet. The four first nearly kept their
position until off Ventnor, when there was about a
quarter of a mile distance between them, the Bac-
chante having the lead, the Wildfire second, Vulante
third, the Alarm fourth. Soon after the Wildfire
lost her bowsprit, and the Alarm cutter, 193, Joseph
Weld, E.g., passed the whole of them, and rounded
the starting vessel 21 minutes before the Bacchante.
The America arrived 20 minutes afterwards, having
beaten the first of the fleet 40 minutes in the sail
round the 'Night. The most marvellous stories are
told of her by the seamen of the different yachts.
Jack is very superstitious, and thinks that Old Nick
patronises all her movements. The wind never took
any vessel through the water at the rate she goes.
The sudden appearance of a steam-ship in 1800 would
not have had a more wonderful effect on our tars of
that time than this mysterious stranger on those of
this day.

THE SALAION7—
The season does not improve as it
draws to a close. Old fishers declare that the fishing in the
Tay has been the most unproductive they have ever known.
The prices are now—salmon, 14d.; griale, la. ; and trout, 7d.
per lb. According to agreement the net fishing in the river
Doon closed upon Tuesday, the 12th inst. The season has
been the most unsuccessful in the memory of the oldest
fishers.—Edinburgh Witness.

Gvrr ACCIDP,NT.—On Friday afternoon last, Mr.
Rose, son of Sir George Rose, one of the. Masters in Chan-
cery, was accidentally shot at by his friend, Wm. Brougham,
E>q., another of the Masters in Chancery. The particulars
sre, that Mr. Rose was on a visit to Lord and Lady
Brougham, and his Lordship's brother, W. Brougham, Esq.,
at Broug'iarn.hall, in Westmoreland, and on that day Mr.
Rose, and Mr. W. Brougham and others were out shooting
rabbits in Whimfell-park, between two and three miles dis-
and nearly five miles from Pen-
tent from Brougham-hall,
rith. A rabbit started from its burrow, when Mr. Brougham
immediately fired his piece, not at the same time seeing his
friend, who unfortunately was standing in such a direction,
that a quantity of shot (it is thought about fifty pellets) were
lodged in the higher parts of his thighs and the lower part of
the abdomen. A conveyance was sent for, in which Mr.
Rose was taken to Brougham-hall. Presently three medical
men from Pernith were in attendance, who extracted a great
number of the shot. Although Mr. Rose appeared to suffer
great pain, and lost a quantity of blood, yet it is supposed
that the injury which he has sustained is not of such a na-
ture as to caries the most alarming anxiety as to the result
of the accident. Mr. Rose still remains at Brougham-hall,
and up to this afternoon (Sunday) is doing well,
The intelligence received yesterday by houses con-
nected with Oporto is to the 19th inst., and contains an un-
satizfactory description of the prospects of the vintage. For
upwards of a fortnight the heat had been and still was in-
tense, with violent, dry, scorching winds. About Wad' the
growing crop of grapes in the wine country bad been de-
stroyer ; and should the weather continue the whole country
would be parehed up. The thermometer had risen to 90 deg.
in the shade, and as the grapes were not in a state to require
or bear this excessive heat, in place of being gradually ma-
tured, they were dried and withered.
Sir James Matheson, Rte., M.P., and Lady
Matheson, lately returned from the Continent, and are no
at Stornoway Castle, Lewes, for the season, dispensing that
elegant hospitality with which their names have ever been
associated.
