COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
The Kestrel, the Earl of Yarborough, which was last week
hauled up on Hansen's slip for alteration, has this week had
her stern taken out, for the purpose of having it shortened ;
she is to have a cutwater, figure-head, standing bowsprit, and
jib-boom, and tobe otherwise rigged as a ketch. This Altera-
non, it is considered by connoisseurs, will be a decided im-
provement.
The schooner Ariel, Almon Hill, Esq., has been hauled off
the mud, and moored alongside Messrs. Thomas and John
White's dock, and will shortly commence fitting out. She is
to be ready on the Ist of June. _ _ _

The Charm cutter, Mr. Higgins, is up the river all a-taut.
The Talisman, R. Meiklam, Esq., has completed her repairs,
&c., having been lengthened, and has had a new bow placed
in her. She was yesterday launched afloat from John
White's slip.
The schooner Camilla is off the mud, and has commenced
rigging; she is to be hauled up astern of the Waterwitch, to
undergo some improvements.
The Owen Glendwr, Mr. Barwell, is fitting out.
Mr. Michael Ratsey has sold the yacht Eagle to Clement
Ruding, Esq., of the Royal Thames Yacht Club.
The Nautilus, Stewart Wardell, Esq., sailed on Monday for
Weymouth, and will return in a few days, to prepare for the
Mediterranean.

Arrived yesterday—The Royal Yacht Squadron's cutters
Turquoise, Sir E. Scott ; and the Intrepid, the Earl Tyr-
connell.
