Sores.— Asa A vorv, a youth, the son of Mr. James Avory,
Ramsey, was severely afflicted with scrofulous wounds for three
or four years, and during that period many remedies were tried,
but without the least benefit whatever being derived from them.
In this deplorable state Mr. Joseph Sergeant, chemist, of
Ramsey, recommended him to use Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, and these invaluable medicines have been the means of
effectually curing the boy of his shocking complaint in a very
brief space of time, They are an efficacious remedy for bad
legs, old sores, gout, and rheumatism.—Sold by all ruggist

ROY AL THAMES YACHT CLUB.
As a seasonable relief to the sports of the turf the in-
terval between the great meetings of Epsom and Ascot
was appropriately chosen for the first series of matches
amongst yachts of this distinguished club, which came
off yesterday. The weather was most propitious, and
the assemblage proportionate to the interest which races
of this club ordinarily excite. The Ruby had bees
chartered by the Royal Thames Yacht Club for the con-
veyance of members and their friends, and amongst the
company present we observed the Marquis of Stafford,
Lord and Lady A. Paget, the Marquis of Conyngham,
Lord Seaham, Lady Repton, Lord Londesborough,
Captains Shertahaff and Lisiansky, of the Imperial Rus-
sian army; Admiral: Sir A. Greene, the Hon. J. For-
tescue, Sir J. R. Carnal; Burt., and many others of con-
siderable position in society, the party in all amounting
to nearly 400. The Gemini, Dryad, Waterman 12
(steamers), with highly-respectable parties on board,
besides a great number of gentlemen's yachts, also ac-
companied the race.
The following were found at their stations at Erith,
the course selected being thence to the Nore Light and
back

FIRST CLASS—Exceeding 30 Tons.
Heroine, 35 tons, Cowes, R. Bell, sen., Esq.
Tartar, 36 tons, Cowes, W. H. Dawes, Esq.
Mosquito, 50 tons, London, Lord Londesborough.
Cynthia, 50 tons, Landon, John Wicks, Esq.
SECOND CLASS—Exceeding 15 Tons and not exceeding
30 Tons.
Phantom, 21 tons, London, Samuel Lane, Esq.
Whisper, 19 tong, London, Thos. Ereleigh, Esq.

THIRD CLASS-10 Tons and not exceeding 15.
Frolic, 12 tons, London, Alfred Cox, Esq.
Sea Nymph, 10 tons, South'ton, Chas. W heeler, Esq.
Bicv.ppa, 12 tons, South 'sou, Chas. Bromley, Esq.
Half-minute time per ton for difference of tonnage in
each class.

The prizes for competition were three pieces of plate
of very beautiful workmanship, having been expressly
designed and executed for the occasion. The first of
these, value 100 guineas, was executed by Messrs. Hunt
and Roskell, for the first-class yachts; the second by
Messrs. Smith and Nicholson, for the middle class; and
the third by Mr. Widowsen, for the small craft. The
subjects of the whole had been most appropriately
chosen, and reflected much credit upon the respective
firms from which they had emanated.
Upon reaching Blackwall there was every sympton of
the continuance of a fine whole sail breeze from the
northward, and many were the speculations as to the
probable results of the day's sport. The Musquito, a
most beautiful boat at anything in which space and
power in the finest points of sailing is to be illustrated,
was freely banked at even. Next to her stood the Cyn-
thia, her opponent in many a gallant race, determined
with varied results. The general opinion appeared to
be that, while the wind continued to blow stiffly, it was
the Musquito's victory, in support of which view 3 to 1
was laid in one or two instances against the Cynthia
but that if it fell off, the Cynthia:n2ight,be found more the'
a match for her. The Tartar and Heroine were, how-
ever, craft of such established repute as to render the
race, with the allowance of time to which they were
entitled, of a very interesting character, the Heroin.,
perhaps, having won more cups in various races, espe-
cially to the westward, than any vessel afloat. The
Tartar was also considered good in a stiff breeze, but,
notwithstanding the excellent character with which the
two latter entered upon yesterday's contest, they were
not by the cognoscenti deemed good enough to bo backed
with much chance of success against either the formid-
able and beautiful Musquito and Cynthia, the former of
whom has been more successful than her opponent in the
river. Of the second class the Secret appeared to be the
first in demand, and in the third the Frolic and Mazepot
divided the interest.

Everything being in readiness, the commodore, Lord
Alfred Paget, took his station on the paddle-box of the
Ruby, and at 11h. 32 min. 53 sec. the signal was fired
for starting.
The boats all canted round at the same moment, with
one or two exceptions, and the accastomed alacrity was
displayed in stretching every stitch of canvas they could
conveniently carry, the wind being so favourable that
they could lie down every reach, with one or two excep-
tions, when they had to make a board all the way down.
The Frolic first got her sails in trim, but she, as well as
the Musquito, was delayed by not letting go her spring
quite in time enough; indeed the latter might be con-
sidered the sternmost, although everything was set.
With her usual expertness, the Cynthia's jib was for an
instant clewed up, but she soon got to work. The three
least boats opposite, and a trifle below the others at
the station, went beautifully away side by side. Of the
second class the Secret had a slight lead, but there was
a very trifling difference amongst that class. Amongst
the great yachts the Tartar took a decided and good lead,
followed closely by boats of every class but the Musquito.
The latter, however, soon began to show the stuff she
was made of, and gradually overhauled the various
boats until she acquired a most prominent position; during
which time the Cynthia went to windward of the
Phantom and reached into the second place at Purfleet,
the Tartar being still first, the Whisper third, and the
Musquito putting in an appearance as a good fourth.
Shortly after passing Greenhithe the latter exchanged
places with the Whisper, and also passed the Cynthia.
There was some pretty work in the Lower Hope, a board
becoming necessary, and the wind having lightened, the
Cynthia took down with her a nice breeze, which wafted
her beautiful form into the leading place, a position she
did not, however, long enjoy. The Musquito, which had
previously to this covered the Tartar and winded her,
went out from under the Cynthia's lee and drew ahead
again, retaining it, and exhibiting herself first at the
Nora Light, which was rounded in the following order:

Had the wind continued as steady as in the morning
the journey up would have been almost as fair and rapid
as that in the earlier portion of the race; but a change
" came o'er the tenor of the scene." After a slight
shower the wind became variable and light, with occa-
sional calms, which had the effect of changing the pros-
pect of things. The Musquito fell off as the wild de-
clined, and the Heroine having passed, the Tartar began
to gain prodigiously upon the leading boats, but again
fell back; the Maz..pp:a on her part playing a similar
game, and really exhibiting a most beautiful pace during
the prevalence of light sire. The zephyrs were
courted most assiduously by the captains of the re-
spective yachts, and all that nautical skill could
achieve was developed to retain or improve the position
of the craft.

Off the l3ligh beacon the Mosquito was leading best
by a trifle, the Cynthia second, toe Heroine third, Tar-
tar fourth, Whisper fifth, then the Secret, Mazeppa, and
___Phantom. In Sea Reach the Mazeppa crept up to the
Whisper, after having passed the other two, which had
been between them at the turning point, and went by
her in gallant style. Soon after this the excitement of
the race materially increased, and a change of the most
important character occurred, when the two leading
yachts had arrived within rive or six miles of home,
besides other matters which materially altered the result
of the day's sport. From Gravesen the struggle be-

aro 1,167 registered electors, of whom 929 have polled;
there remains only 238, of whom the dead, absent, and
neutral are by far the most numerous. Bribery and

John Power, of Gurteen, has left a line property of 9,000/. a
year, of which 3,0001. a year is out of settlement, and which
will pay his engagements. It is now ascertained that the
cause of suicide was the receipt of a solicitor's letter an-
nouncing prompt proceedings against him as security for
10,000/. for a receiver, whose debts, however, did not exceed
2,000/. He insured his life for 5,000/., which he assigned

which will be paid by the Royal Exchange Insurance Com-
pany within three months. Mr. Power's amiable widow
