AQUATIV4I.
iti3VAt. Tititas YAcilT Cum.—This distinguished Club
had their second below-bridge match yesterday, in honour of
his Majesty's birth-day, he being the distinguished patron of
their club. The Sovereign, as usual, had been engaged to
acCOMpally the match, and she loosed her moorings at a quarter
to ten. At a few minutes before eleven she arrived at Green-
wich, and at seventeen minutes after eleven the Commodore,
J. H. Harrison, Esq., having positioned the boats, the signal
was fired, and they were off. In the canting round there was
scarcel a difference. The Victorine was southward, and the
others In the order in which they are placed on the list.
Victorine station yacht, 16 tons, London ; T. and J. Stokes,
Esqs., owners ; blue and white cross.
Rob Roy station yacht, 16 tons, London; J. Southam, Esq. ;
black and scarlet.
Ada Jane station yacht, 17 tons, London ; J. W. Sweting and
W. Malby, Esq. ; blue with red cross.
Figaro station yacht, tons; London; R. T. Wells, Esq. ;
white, blue star.
Telemachus station yacht, '2l tons, London ; J. Williams, Esq. ;
scarlet and white. . _

They all cleared off at the same time. The Ada Jane was
soon in trim, and it was a matter of doubt whether they would
not foul, in consequence of the narrowness of their berths.
The Victorine was well to windward, and she was on her way
before the others. She went right down without going about.
The Ada was second, but she was obliged to board. The Rob
Roy was third and the Figaro fourth. At this early stage it
was evident that the Telemachus did not stand a shadow of a
chance. She is a bad boat, and not one person who under-
stands sailing ever iriiagined that she could do any thing. She
lost her gaff-halyards off Blaekwail, and nothing was thought
of her. The wind increased as they got down, and they must
have felt that there was plenty of work to do. It was a beat-
ing time, and in some of the reaches it was a noser.. They
had to put about very often, and it was in this that the whole of
the interest of the match was vested, for the Victorine had
left them in the lurch. She is a better boat to windward than
was generally supposed. She had it throughout all her own
way, and this damped the sporting, interest which had mani-
fested itself in the commencement of the match. On the next
sight procured by the steamer, the Victorine was leading the
van on a starboard tack, followed by the Figaro, the Ada Jane
being third. In NVooWell reach the Figaro was to wind-
ward of the Ada Jane, but still the latter was in advance,
with every prospect of being overhauled. They were both on
the north shore, but in going about the Ada kept her advan-
tage. The Figaro went to windward of her directly after, but
she had done so only a few minutes when she carried away
her peal halyards, and the Ada again got the second place.
The Rob Roy was spanking down, and soon overhauled her
opponent, looking as though she meant mischief to the Victo-
rine. At Gravesend the latter boat rounded at 27 minutes 25
seconds after two ; the Rob Roy 44 minutes 30 seconds past ;
the Ada Jane 36 minutes past. Immediately after rounding
the flag boat, the topmasts were hoisted, and gaff topsails
sported. The jibs were removed for others of extreme mag-
nitude, ar.d they ran up before the wind. There was nothing
up which deserves a moment's comment They rounded the
station-boat at Greenwich in the following order:—The Vic-
torine was first at 23 minutes 18 seconds after five o'clock ;
the Ada Jane 37 minutes past five; the Rob Roy a minute and
a half astern. The cup, an hour afterwards, was filled with
eine, and presented by Mr. Harrison to Messrs. Stokes, the
winners. " The health of the King and Queen "
was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm ; and the Vice-Patron was done
the same honour to. The Pandean banal played some popular
airs ; and all the arrangements on board were of the first order.

SALE POSTPONED.--:Mr. has the honour of
announcing that the sale of certain hats, gowns, &c., which

HASTINGS, Aug 15.—FALLING OF CLIFF.—
Early yesterday morning a large piece of the high cliff, at
what is called the East-hill of this town, near the look-out of
the pilots, and a small public building for the use of the fisher-
men,
to repair their nets,• called " the House of Commons,'
gave way, and fell through the roof of a house built under-
neath and on the beach. The house in question is so situated
for the advantage of tanning nets ; and it is occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Adams, respectable people, and their large family of
children. When the terrific accident happened, all the chil-
dren, having been dressed, had . just gone out, but the poor
mother, having. passed a restless night with her baby, had rot
quitted her bed. The rock that fell broke in the roof, and
carried Mrs. Adams, bed and all, through the floor to the
basement story, whence she was dug from among the ruins
with considerable difficulty. On being extricated it was
found that she was so dreadfally bruised and injured as to
render it doubtful whether she can recover from the frightful
accident, and the shock and injuries • she received. She was
immediately conveyed to a neighbour's dwelling, but cannot
be removed thence ; ,he, however, is quite sensible, and an-
swers questions. in the mildest and most resigned manner.
The husband and men were yesterday employed in clearing-
away the rubbish, and making a way. into the house, and to-
day they have been able to make fires in that part of it used.
for the tanning of the fishing nets. The other portions of the
house are a complete wreck.
