COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
HER MAJESTY AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT.—Her
Ma-
jesty has purchased Osborne, but not the furniture. So
much has been said on this subject, which had no foun-
dation in fact, that were we not positive we would not
have published a word on the subject—we write from
undoubted authority. -
MARCH 25, 1845.—The vessel wrecked on Sunday
morning at Black Gang Chine was the Russian sloop
Perdoitos, Ziepe, master, loaded with oranges and lemons.
Soon after she struck she fell over, and the sea washed
all her cargo out of her and strewed the shore with it.
The men were saved, with the assistance of the Coast
Guard, by means of a hawser passed to the shore ; she
was dry at low water, no part of the cargo could be
saved, and they had not seen any land in the Channel.
The hull, spars, &c., are to be sold by auctiou on Thurs-
day next. About midday two other vessels stood right
into Chale Bay, a barque and a schooner ; it was so
thick they could not see the land ; not a minute was to
be lost, and the officers of the Coast Guard discharged a
gun, but the roar of the waves was such that there was
scarcely a probability that the report would be heard,
but the flash was seen, and the vessels saved ; another
minute and the schooner must have been a wreck,—so
near was she that that the men on the beach said that
they could see letters on her stern. The beach was
covered with the fruit, and during yesterday numerous
carts of all descriptions arrived in Newport with them,
and one waggon-load. This being rather too much, the
police seized waggon, horses, fruit, and men.
Loss OF THE SIAM EAST INHUMAN, CAPTAIN WIL-
MOT, OF NEWPORT, IN WALES, BOUND FROM CAL-
CUTTA TO LONDON.—This unfortunate vessel, with a
most valuable cargo, came on shore near Compton, at
four o'clock yesterday morning, the weather being very
thick. The last land they made was the Lizard ; there
was very little wind, and that from the northward, but
the swell so heavy that no boat could leave shore to go to
her, but three vessels were lying off receiving her cargo
from boats ; her keel and rudder were knocked off and
drove ashore. A lad belonging to her was drowned, and
also a man from Freshwater. She is close in with the
cliffs, and has twelve feet water in her hold. There are
three vessels discharging cases of silk, camphor, and
spices here, which they took out of her yesterday ; she
has also hides, rice, and sugar—the two latter will be
lost. There is no chance of getting the ship off. The
wind is south to-day (on the shore), and it is not ex-
pected that anything can be got out, the sea rolls in so
heavily.

NORTH SHIELDS.—A beautiful specimen of fossil
oak has been dug out of the embankment at the New
Cut, leading to the Railway Station, by one of the work-
men engaged in repairing the wall. It was at a depth
of 35 feet below the surface, and forms part of the top
of the main trunk of the tree.—Tyne Mercury.
TAPPING.—The Rev. G. H. Parker, the incumbent
of St. Andrew's Church, in South Molton-street, Beth
nal-green, the district in which the unfortunate James
Tapping resided, has announced a funeral sermon to be
preached next Sunday evening, at his dying request.
ExEmt-HALL.—The Sacred Harmonic Society
has announced a performance of Cathedral Music for
to-morrow. The several pieces forming the programme
are chronologically arranged, commencing with Dr. Tye
in 1550, and concluding with Dr. Cooke in 1790. They
include specimens of the works of Tanis, Purcell, Blow,
Croft, Greene, Boyce, Gibbons, and others.
The author of " Cecil," after a silence of four
years, is again, it appears, in the field ; and exhibiting,
we are told, unabated causticity and vigour. The new
work, we understand, may be considered as much in the
light of a witty memoir of the times, in the style of
Walpole, as in its nominal character of a novel ;
abounding, it is said, with graphic sketches of the
powers that be and have been, treated in the usual auda-
cious style of this brilliant and powerful wrirer.
The following distinguished persons visited Capt.
Siborne's new Waterloo Model at the Egyptian-hall :
The Duchess of Buccleuch, the Marchioness of London-
derry, the Marchioness of Ely, the Earl of Cardigan, Sir
Willoughby Cotton, Lord R. Grosvenor, Sir J. and Lady
Lushingtou.
BUTCHERS' CHARITABLE INSTITUTION, WALHAM
GREEN.—The Committee have determined on holding a
grand fete and fancy fair at the Royal Surrey Zoological
Gardens, on the Bth and 9th of July next. We heartily
wish them that success so excellent a charity deserves.
EFFECTS OF THE REDUCTION OF THE GLASS
DUTY.—A proposal has been made in Manchester to
roof with glass two streets in the neighbourhood of the
Exchange, for the convenience of the congregated mer-
e/Ants.
