BRITISII YACHT CLUB.

The first below-bridge match of this Club from its esta-.
blishment came off yesterday. The Venus steamer had been
engaged to accompany the match, and started at ten o'clock
from the Custom-house, filled with elegant company, the ma-
jority being ladies. She arrived at Greenwich at half-pit
ten, and a few minutes before eleven the yachts were in post
tion. It was a sweepstakes of 11. per ton. A very spiendid
cup, said to be worth 501., was the prize. The following
yachts were placed at the buoys :
Yachts. Tonnage. Owners' Names. Distinguishing Colours.
Margaret 8 R. Holliday, Esq.... White with Red Border'
Oberon 6 D. Davidson, Esq... Red and White Cross.
Gem 9 A. W. Bode, Esq... Blue with White Cross•
Selina 9 I Southam, Esq.... Black and White Stripes,
Vestris 8 I Weston, Esq. ....Red with Yellow Cross.
There was a fine breeze at S. L. The Margaret was sta-.
tioned first to windward. The vessel swung round as the'
clock struck eleven, and the Selina was the first under weigh'
and, with the Margaret, the Oberon, and the Vestris, ran to
the shore in order to board. They were in the bight, but.the
Gem stood out in the middle, having the swirl.- oft'
the tide,
and certainly more wind. She jibbed her sail, and went
round the point gallantly. Betting at this time was yell
brisk. The Margaret and Selina separately were taken
for choice against the others. The Selina stood well
over for the reach. A boy they had on board fell over,
but was picked up instantly. The Margaret held her
wind wonderfully, and did more with it than the others by
their board. The Selina held her priority to Woolwich'
The Vestris was in the second place, but the Margaret veg
beautifully to windward. The Gem was spanking down 11
situation in which she must have overhauled the lending
boat, when a sailing craft (not in the match) ran foul of her'
and injured her rigging, so that she was obliged to go about
again. The fouling was certainly very unjustifiable, as the
one was on a larboard and the other on a starboard tack. The
Selina missed stays, and this gave the others a decided ad-
vantage, as she went considerably to leeward. The Gent
stood well down for the reach at Woolwich, and saved a board'where the others had to go about. The Vestris went by °-
first boat to leeward and led the van, but was shortly after
wards with the other boats becalmed. The leading D°4l"
however, was splendidly managed ; her owner ran her into the
slack and caught the land breeze ; she and the Margaret wept
about to prevent fouling, and a sudden change of wind occur
immediately afterwards they became in the same situation
as before, and the Gem laid well down Woolwich Reach an
passed the second boat. The Selina took a reef in off Eritil
certainly a great improvement at the time. The Vestris first
rounded the flag-boat at Gravesend; at eleven minutes t°
three; the Gem second, at two minutes after three; 145 r:
garet third, at eleven minutes past three, and the Selina It
twenty-five minutes past three. Here the sailing was over.
was pretty well all running, and they maintained their seer:
situations right up. The Vestris came in first, at eighteen
minutes to six, the G.em next, at ten minutes to six ; take
Selina rounded third, but the Margaret was neck-and-7,sec
with her two minutes after the second boat.
The match was a most excellent one, and but for the unfor'
tunate foul the Gem would in all probability have won. l',llB
Margaret did not appear to be in good trim, and never did ,
in any previous match. The Oberon was of no use from nil
to last; nobody expected she would be nearer than she wad
A very excellent pandean band was on board the steamer, se
played some favourite airs during the day.

Several members assert at their Clubs that the ter'
urination of the duties of this Session will take place this wee
HORRID DEATH.— Oil Thursday, an accident

a frightful nature occurred in Broomward Mill, at the East. "11,1

met with instant death. Her mutilated remains were. gatherf
up and placed in a coffin which was immediately procured ; td,

fully mangled. —Scots Times.
ALARMING FIRE IN ST. GILES. Betlveefl:
eight and 9 o'clock last evening the neighbourhood of t,
'7O
part of St. Giles's termed the " Rookery " was thrown "eta
a state of the greatest consternation and alarm by the ~au",
very of a fire which broke out in a " lodging-house for tied
yellers," No. 20, Buckridge street. It was first discover
in the first floor, occupied by a mat-maker, whose stock
r,4
trade burnt with great fury, the whole place being in a ;6
seconds, one mass of flame. At that period the see
'Ailed all description. Hundreds of the " finest pisautrll.9
of all sexes, ages and sizes, running through the streets, alleyr
and courts with which that miserable quarter of the metr°,,rge
lis abounds, shouting, they should be " burnt dead," weer
others, some twenty houses distant from the one on fire 14'0.
throwing their little all through the windows into the stre,ee
Within five minutes after the alarm was given, two eagilb,
from the Crown-street station of the London Fire Engine ;44
tablishment were drawn by hand to the spot, and there be:00
fortunately a good supply of water, they were soon got 'be.
operation, and being shortly joined by six more cnglitntiob
longing to the same establishment, and those of the
.ul-the
and West of England Offices, the flames were confined t°
premises where they commenced. The House belongs ,o
Mr. Duggin, residing in King-street, Long-acre, and viatfte
understand, insured in the Hand-in-Hand Fire Office. 'O9
the danger was over, the contention between the nualleed
claimants to the articles of furniture, &c., which were be‘roch
together in one heterogeneous mass, was truly ludicroust,eoe
demanding the best articles, and it required all the viVlOO,
possessed by the numerous body of police of the E eliT/Ye
from the George-street station-house, to keep order. .
are happy to say no lives are lost.
