CHOLERA-INVERNESS.

The pestilence which has for some time hovered around
us has at length entered Inverness. Its first effects were
extremely fatal, but we are happy to say that the disease,
though it is every day extending more widely, appears to
have already assumed a milder character. The following
are the official reports made to the Board of Health by the
medical gentlemen in attendance :
New Cases. Died. Recovered. Remaining.

26. 7 2 2 6

Total cases from commencement, 80; total number of deaths,
17; recoveries, 13; remaining, 50.

ROB. SMITH, Secretary.
The above numbers include all cases of incipient cholera,
diarrhoea, &c., at present under medical treatment. It is
obvious, therefore, that a considerable deduction should be
made to comprise only cases of actual cholera.
The disease has been confined chiefly to unfavourable
situations in Church-street, the Glebe, Al iggot, and Cha-
pel-street. The first cases occurred simultaneously in the
same line, and cannot be traced to any communication with
infected districts or persons. One of the deaths is that of
Skene Morrison, guard of the north mad, who was a cor-
rect, healthy, and respectable individual. He was seized
on his road from Tain, when within a few miles of In-
verness, but kept his seat till the coach arrived here, a
little before 9 o'clock in the evening, when, after deliver-
ing the mail-bags, he staggered home and expired in about
four hours. Three cases having occurred here the same
afternoon, an alarm was created, and the most prompt and
vigorous measures were resorted by the medical gentle-
men, i❑ the case of poor Morrison, as well as in those of
the other patients. The Board of Health sits daily, chlo-
ride of lime has been copiously distributed, and as the me-
dical authorities are in constant attendance, we trust the
disease will be kept under. At the meeting of the Board
this day, it was agreed that tar-barrels should be burned
throughout the town, as the adoption of this plan was
found to be highly beneficial at Musselburgh and Fisher-
row.—lnverness Courier.

CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT.

ISLE OF WIGHT.

RYDE ROYAL REGATTA.

The grand Regatta and Fet., in honour of h is Majesty's
birth-day, which had been several times postponed, in con-
quence of the unsettled state of the weather, took place at
Ryde, Isle of Wight, on Friday. The town displayed or,
the occasion many fashionables—Earl Spencer, the Earl
of Roden and family, the Dean of Chester, and a long
list of distinguished naval and military officers, were
among the numerous admirers of this aquatic spectacle.
Lord Althorp was at Rye a few days since, but the Noble
financier, harassed, no doubt, by the affairs of State, and
particularly by the machinery of the Reform Bill, did not
mix in the gay circle.

Every preparation was made to give eclat to the several
sailing matches. The Pier displayed a brilliant assemblage
of company. It was ornamented with flags, and furnished
with an excellent band of music. The vessels, decorated
with sign ils, and the splendid arrangements made at the
Pier Hotel, and the other houses along the beach, formed
a scene of gaiety seldom surpassed.
The Regatta commenced off the pier at ten o'clock.—
The first match was for the Binstead purse. All the con-
tending parties sailed in vessels belonging to Ryde, Bin-
stead, Wootton, and Seaview. Sixteen fishing vessels,
distinguished by flags at their mast-heads, were entered for
the first match. They took their stations in a line with
the pier, and remained with sails close down and booms
topped until a gun was fired for starting. The course of
the vessels was round a flag-boat placed to the northward
of the starting point, then to the westward, round the
flag-boat off Appley, and to return between the pier and
the starting vessel. This course was to be sailed twice in
all the matches. In the first contest two of the vessels
ran aground, and lost all chance of success. The others
were soon headed by the Eagle, belonging to John Wheeler,
which preserved the advantage to the end of the race, and
won the first prize of six sovereigns.
Several other matches took place, and particularly one
by a class of young sailors, who displayed much tact in the
management of their boats.

All the prizes were to be presented by J. Fleming►,
Esq. Under the excellent regulations adopted, the Re-
gatta throughout afforded a rich treat to the admirers of
nautical sports. A .shower of rain, in the early part
of the day, threatened some inconvenience to the ladies,
but it did not continue. A party in the Admiralty
yacht, consisting of Admiral Rowley and several officers,
came from Portsmouth to be spectators of the scene. At
half-past 7 in the evening, a brilliant display of fireworks
was exhibited by Mr. Jones, on the pier, and at nine the
Regatta Ball took place, at the Town-hall.
Barnet has opened the Theatre for a short period, but
does not appear to receive the encouracement which his
dramatic exertions demand. Earl Spencer has patro-
nized the performance for to-morrow (Saturday) even-
ing, when it is expected there will be a fashionable at•
tendance.

In addition to the distinguished persons already men-
tioned, the following are amongst the arrivals :—Lady
C. Fitzroy, the Hon. R. Charlton, the Hon. Captain
Clifford, Sir J. Graham, and Sir J. Walsh.
Ryde is full of company from Portsmouth and South-
ampton, and may be said to be at this time a favourite
place of resort. The steam vessels are passing every
hour to and from Ryde to Point. Several opulent fami-
lies have made the town and its environs places of sum-
mer residence. Houses and rural villas are building, and
this once small but delightful village extends its bounda-
ries daily.
Sir R. Simeon is a popular candidate for the Island.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The past week's arrivals were moderate of nearly all descrip.
tions of Grain, and the weather having been showery, there was
an evident improvement in the trade, especially for Wheat.
This morning the fresh supply of Wheat is tolerably good, but
the condition is chiefly tender. The best parcels sold freely at
2s. per quarter advance on former prices, but other qualities are
not dearer. Barley for malting is rather higher ; grinding par_
eels are unaltered. Beans and Pease remain as last quoted.
Oats remain firm at last week's rates, with a fair demand for
such as are sweet. The supply of Flour is small, and prices are
firmly maintained.
