The Royal Yacht Squadron cutter Wave, Marquis of
Blandford, has had a new false keel put to her, by Mr.
Betsey, and on Monday was launched afloat.
The cutter Lufra, belonging to Lord Bohn Scott, has
since been hauled up on the patent-slip in the same yard,
for the purpose of having a thorough overhaul and refit.
Mr. Betsey built this beautiful yacht about twelve years
ago, and notwithstanding her age, she has been found,
after a general survey, to be quite sound, her copper has
been taken off, and she is to be newly coppered and a re-
gular refit.
There is a new yacht, of about 50 tons, building in the
same yard for Mr. Gray, of Liverpool, and from all ap-
pearance bids fair to be a clipper ; she is in a very for-
ward state, and will be launched next month.
The cutter Flower of Yarrow, belonging to the Mar-
quis of Conyngham, will, it is said, proceed shortly to
Harwich with her noble owner. Yesterday her mizen-
mast was stepped, having been converted from a cutter
into a yawl..,She will be ready for sea in the early part of
next week.
FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS.
The Marchioness of Anglesey, from Cowes Castle for
Uxbridge House ; the Marchioness of Wellesley, front
Rose-mount for Knightsbridge ; the Marquis of Bland•
ford, from Marine Parade ; the Duke of Montrose, from
Mrs. Goo twin's house, for Belgrave-square ; the Earl of
Cadogan, from the Pavilion for Piccadilly ; Lord Clon-
brock, from the Parsonage-house for Clonbrock Ahascra,
Ireland ; Ward, E-q., from No. 4, Bath-buildings ;
Thomas Handal:, Esq., from Egypt House for Lombard-
street ; Mrs. Armstrong, from South-parade ; Mr. llam-
mond, from ditto.
The numerous departures have thinned the town of
much of its fashionable company, but as this is the best
season for bathing, and as the rents are always much re-
duced this month, numbers generally arrive. Sir Edward
Paget and family are expected at the Castle on Monday.
Oak-hill House and Rose-mount Cottage have been both
taken to-day.
CHEAP TRAVELLING.-1,104 availed themselves of the
liberal offer given by the South-Western Company on
Monday last; the price from Southampton to London and
back was Bs., or 10s. from the Isle of Wight, for the trip.
Many went who never went before, and the number of
letters to their friends, announcing their safe arrival, and
the wonders they had seen, seriously annoyed the
postmen.
