ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—The last match
for the season, for the Stewards' Cup, for boats of )8 tons, and
for a piece of plate for the second-class yachts of the Club, came of 'on
Wednesday over the Club-course, from Greenwich to Coalhouse-point,
and back to Greenwich. The entries for the Stewards' Cup were three
—the Victorine, Mr. Lord owner; the Polka, Sir P. Shelly, Bart,
owner; and the Crusader, Mr. C. T. Hyde owner. The entries
for the second-class were five—via., the Lady Louisa, 12 tons,
Mr. J. G. Moon owner ; the Charm, 12 tons, Messrs. Smith
owners; the Cygnet, JO tons, Mr. C. H. Harrison owner; the
Sea Nymph, 10 tons, Mr. C. Wheeler, jun., owner; and the Fay,
12 tons, Mr. J. T. Hewes owner. The start took place at twenty
minutes past twelve o'clock, the wind blowing gently from the
north-west, and the tide running down. At starting the Sea
Nymph led, followed by the Fay second, the Victnrine third, the
Cygnet fourth, the Charm fifth, the Crusader sixth, the Polka
seventh, and the Lady Louisa last. The wind was too feeble to
till the sail* of the boats, and they drifted with the tide down the
river, showing-little or no sport,. and causing no excitement. At
Northfleet the Charm became the second, and the Victorine the
third boat, and here the wind mended, and the pace became
better. At Coalhouse-point the boats rounded the buoy in the
following order :—The Sea Nymph at thirty-two minutes past four,
the Lady Louisa at twenty minutes to five, the Charm within
a quarter of a minute after her, the Victorine within half
a minute, the Crusader at thirten minutes and a half
to five, the Fay a quartet of a minute after her,
the, Polka at five minutes to eve o'clock, and the Cygnet within ten
seconds of the Polka. It was about flood when the boats rounded,
consequently they had the tide with them on the ',turn, the wino
freshened a little, and the match became more interesting. The
Vecond-class Cup was won by the Sea Nymph, which came in first
at Greenwith at seventeen minutes to nine o'clock; and the Stew.
rads' Cup by the Victorine; which came in at fifteen minutes to
nine o'clock. The Commodore, Mr. Harrison, presented the primes
to the winners in the usual manner, amidst the cheering of several
hundreds of visitors. The company who attended the match were
conveyed down and up the river in the Red Rover steamer, on
board •of which was an ample supply of things to be eaten and drunk,
and a military band, conducted by Mr. Adams.
ARTILLERY.—Gunner Taylor, a recruit be,
longing to this corps, while employed on Wednesday in learning to
Oismutint the gun and carriage used for instruction, by smile means
slipped, and the weight of the metal of the gun falling on his leg,
crushed it in a dreadful manner, and he was under the necessity
of bring conveyed by his comrades on the limber of the gun to the
Ordnance Hospital, and it is to be feared the leg wilt have to be
amputated. The company at the Tower was relieved on Wednesday,
after only a fortnight's duty, instead of one month, the usual period
at that fortress, having been placed under orders for Halifax,
Nova. Scotia. It was expected the Apollo troopship would have
returned from America in time for the embarkation of the two
companies under orders for that quarter of the world, but it ap.
pears from Wednesday's intelligence from Canada, that the Apollo
is to convey the 43d Regiment from Quebec to Halifax, and the
46tti Regiment from Halifax to Quebec, and W.ll then return to
England in about a month hence, with the two companies of Royal
Artillery ordered home from Canada. The authorities at Wool.
with have in consequence requested another ship, to convey the
two companies of artillery to Halifax.
