COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
FROM 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-
tion, 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 fur
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-
council.

His Royal,llighness Prince Albert, attended by Col.
Wilde, paid a private N:isit yesterday to the London Library
in Pall-mall, of which his Royal Highness is the patron.
He was received by the President of the Institution, the Earl
of Clarendon, and by Lord Lyttelton, Mr. Hallam, the Rev.
Mr. Milman, and Mr. G. C. Lewis, members of the Com-
mittee. His Royal Highness went through the suite of
rooms containing the library, examining the books, and
making inquiries and remarks, exhibiting an extensive ac-
quaintance with general literature. His Royal Highness on
departing, after remaining upwards of an hour, expressed his
great pleasure with what he had seen, and his satisfaction
with the progress the library had made.
THE PIERS IN DANGER.—About four o'clock yes-
terday morning the river Thames, near to London-bridge,
presented an extraordinary scene, arising from an order
issued by the Lord Mayor to the City police to remove the
watermen's pier at Fishmongers'-hall-stairs. Accordingly,
at the above hour, twenty of the City police, under the su-
perintendence of Inspector Waller, armed with hatchets,
saws, and other implements, proceeded to the above pier,
and, by the direction of the water-bailiff (Mr. Saunders), in
a very short time cut the pier away, the men belonging to
the Watermen's Company looking on in mute astonishment.
The pier was then removed for the present to the foot
of the steps leading from London-bridge to the river. It
appears that, owing to the numerous boats stopping en and
about the wharfs in Upper Thames-street, the owners of the
different Companies have been extending the piers so far into
the river as to impede the navigation, and as the Waterman's
boats are by far the largest, the pier was further extended,
and it being placed without license from the Navigation
Committee, an order was issued by the Lord Mayor for its
immediate removal. A notice has also been served on all the
Steam Companies to decrease the length of the different piers
by seven feet, so as to enable barges and other craft to go
through the near arches of London-bridge, and which regu-
lation is to come into immediate operation.
TEMPERANCE SHIPS.—The Board of Customs has
just issued a general order, by which masters of vessels, who
have adopted temperance principles, are allowed, upon their
waving all right to any allowance of spirits, to ship brandy
for medicinal purposes, duty free, in the proportion of one-
tenth of the total quantity of brandy and other spirits to
which they would be entitled as stores, according to the com-
plement of the crew, and the duration of the voyage; and
also to ship such brandy in stone jars, provided the whole
quantity required be =Wald Woe package.
