KINGSTOWN REGATTA—MONDAY.
The weather on Monday, unlike the preceding few days,
was most propitious, but the attendance of spectators was by
no means numerous. Two matches came off during the day ;
one for the Adelaide Cup—the other for the Gore Booth
Challenge Cup. Both prizes were carried off with ease by
the yacht Clarence, 15 tons, the property of Mr. R. Sinclair,
R. N. Y. C. The Hawk, 30 tons, John Scott owner, R. N. Y. C.,
was placed second in the two matches.
A rowing match followed, between Mr. Robert Walker's
Sally and Mr. Henry Kennedy's red gig. It was won by the
latter, after a hard contest.

TUESDAY.
In consequence of the fineness of yesterday, vast crowds of
the inhabitants of this metropolis attended the Regatta. Dur-
ing the entire day the pier, and all the avenues leading to it,
were thronged from an early hour with fashionable equipages,
which could hardly make their way even to the monument of
George the Fourth, so dense was the concourse of pedestrians,
both nautical and terrestrial, that lined the road. At the ap-
pointed hour of twelve o'clock, seven of the yachts which had
been only entered the previous evening, for a cup given by
the club for R. I. Y. C. yachts not exceeding 15 tons, started.
The following are the vessels which sailed in this match :

The Tippo, 14 tons; Lancer, 15 ; Morning St;,ls;Sans
Souci, 12 ; Pearl (the Little), 14 ; the Shamrock, 10 ; and
Caroline, 15.

At starting the Little Pearl was decidedly the favourite
amongst all the crafty knowing ones. However, the disci-
ples of Neptunian recreation were disappointed in having their
anticipations either realized or falsified, for shortly after the
yachts got into the offing, they were completely becalmed, and
even after the sun-set gun had been fired from the flag ship in
the harbour, it was the opinion of several persons skilled in
naval tactics, that they had not rounded the Kish light. Up
to eleven o'clock last night there was no intelligence what-
soever of them. They must therefore be allowed to rest on
their oars pro tern., and even in the event of any of them
arriving this morning, a considerable difficulty must arise in the
decision of the club, as to the real winner.
A couple of rowing matches were got up in the bay during
the evening. The first match was between three boats, for
which the people of Kingstown subscribed 8/. ; won by Mr.
Ball's boat, the Legge coming in second. The next was a
skiff race, for which the ;following boats were entered for the
Garrison Cup :
Sylphide
Sally
Liver Mr. Gibbs.
Red Gig Mr. Kennedy.
Swan Mr. Banks.
The entire number did not not start. Mr. Kennedy's Red
Gig won it, stans pede in uno, quite at her ease, and the Swan
held next place.
There was another unentered race between fishermeu's
skiffs, in which the Legge, which had been the second boat in
the first race, was victorious.
At five o'clock, about two hundred persons sat down to a
dijeilne which had been most sumptuously provided by Mr.
Hayes, in a marquee, in the terrace in front of his hotel.
There were a couple of marquees also pitched opposite the
new buildings on the terrace, where the company retired after
the dejane, and continued dancing till a late hour in the even-
ing. The fine bands of the 15th Hussars and Ist Royals were
in attendance during the day, and contributed much to the
entertainment and gratification of the company. Several pri-
vate sailing matches were talked of as likely to come off this
day, and it was also announced that the yachts were to sail in
fleet at the termination of the Regatta.—Freeman's Journal.

The Lord Privy Seal, Lord Carlisle, accompanied
by Lord Morpeth, proceeded yesterday to St. Leonard's on
sea, where the family of the Noble Earl is now sojourning.
