ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA
RYDE, THURSDAY EVENING.

Last night the annual dinner of the Royal Victoria
Yacht Club took place at the Club:house, the Commo-
dore, George Holland Ackers, E4ri., presiding.
The day was appointed for the race for a club price of
50/., open to all schooners belonging to the Royal Vic-
toria Yacht Club. The following vessels were entered:—
Yachts. Tons. Owners.
_ _ _

Mariquii a...125...F. B. Carew, Esq... Red, with gold M.
Wildfire .... 56... J. T. Turner, Esq .Blue.

Vestal
Zouave

. 71... P. F. Marshall Esq.. Red and white, diagonal
.105... R. Arabi; Esq.. ...Tricolour,

There was every expectation that this race had been
finally made ; but la ,t night a question arose between

the owners of the Vestal and Wildfire whether the time,
according to Acker's scale, should not be given by the
Mariquita and Zouave. This was objected to by the
owners of these two vessels, and consequently the Wild-
fire and Vestal were withdrawn, and the race was re;
duced to a match between the Mariquita and Zouave.
The wind was blowing strong from the south-east.
The Mariquita was the first to set her foresail, and soon
got a good lead. When approaching Spithead she set
her main gaff topsail and was going well. The Zouave
was about a minute astern, bnt on the vessels keeping
close inshore to get out of the flood tide, almost at the
same moment both of them got agound between South-
sea Castle and the buoy of the Horse. After being on
the sand for about five minutes, the Zouave got afloat
and proceeded towards the Nab Light. The Mariquita
did not come off for more than an hour, and then, of
course, all chance of coming up with her opponent was
out of the question. The Zouave then sailed round the
course alone, and up to the time this was written there

is every reason to believe that she- will have the cup
without dispute.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company have au-
thorised their agent at Malta to allow the packets brieg.
ing the Marseilles portion of the homeward Indian mails
to touch at Cagliari on their passages from Malta to
Marseilles, in case the admiral on the station should be
desirous of transmitting from that point a telegraphic
summary of the intell:gence. This arrangement will in
no way interfere with the due arrival of the steamers at
Marseilles, but will afford the advantage to the Govern-
ment and the public of at least twenty-four hours' earlier
