ARUNDEL YACHT CLUB.

The sailing match amongst the fast yachts belonging
to this highly-respectable club, for a very handsome
silver cup and cover, came off yesterday between Wool-
wich and Greenwich, T. Haines, Esq., the commodore of
the club, who has done much for its advancement, being
the dcnor. The following had been entered:—
Hazard, 6 tons, Messrs. Ackbourne and T. Charles,
red with white dice ; Bermudian Maid, 7 tons, Mr. H.
Bailes, red over white ; Halcyon, 7 tons, Mr. H. Bailes,
blue and white stripes ; Dauntless, 7 tons, Mr. T. Ed-
wards, blue with red cross.
The commodore's cutter moved to the starting place
off the upper end of the town of Greenwich at a little
after twelve, and having seen all in readiness, Mr. Haines
gave the signal at twenty-five minutes past twelve. The
Dauntless took the lead in very good style, and held it
until the second round, when the slight wind died off,
and the little fleet became becalmed. The Hazard then
took the lead, and won the race at twenty minutes after
seven, the Halcyon being second, and the Dauntless third.
The 'weather was ill adapted for a race of this de-
scription.

Lord Stanley has already issued his farewell address
to the electors of North Lancashire, and several indi-
viduals have been named as likely to claim the honour
which he has relinquished. It was at first confidently
asserted that R. Townley Parker, Esq., had determined
to come forward in the Tory interest. As Mr. Parker
has considerable influence amongst the Catholics of the
northern districts of this county, it was generally be-
lieved that the Tories had, with their usual adroitness,
resolved upon bringing that influence into operation. It
appears, however, that Mr. Parker has given place to
Mr. T. Clifton, son of T. Clifton, Esq., of Lytham Hall,
a connexion, we understand, of the Lowther family, and
one who is likely to be anything but a favourite with the
Catholics, as he abjured their faith some years ago, and
is now uttached to the evangelical Church party. We
have not hoard of any movement on the part of the
Liberals, for, to use the words of a writer in the Man-
chester Guardian—" It is a matter of general observa-
tion, that his Lordship's vacation of his seat at this mo-
'party, as
ment is, at all events, judiciously timed for his
the election will take place under the register of last
year. Had his acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds
been a few weeks later his successor might scarcely have

attend to all interests and to do good to everybody. Of
course he will "consider it a paramount duty to main-

have not learned on what day the election is to take
place ; but, as Mr. Clifton declares so short a period will
elapse that he will not have time to make a regular can-
vass, we presume matters are to be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible.—Liverpool Albion.
