On the arrival of Lord and Lady STEWART and their in-
fant son in the neighbourhood of Stockton,_ on Saturday last,
they were met by the populace, who took the horses from their
carriage and drew it into the town as far as the Red Lion Inn,
amidst the loudest cheers. A sailor, with a beautiful white
flag, planted himself on the roof of the carriage. Colours were
also displayed on the Town Hall and other buildings, the bells
rang merrily, and joy appeared to pervade every countenance (if
we except a few discontented Radicals) on seing the infant heir
of Wynyard. His Lordship left £2O with Mr. ROBINSON, the
landlord of the Red Lion, for the entertainment of the popu-
lace, and to drink the health of the young heir.—(Durham

this day at an examination, and afterwards inspected the diffe-
rent apartments of the Royal Military Asylum, and expressed
the highest satisfaction at the state of this excellent establish-

Vocal and Instrumental Concert took place at the Long Rooms,
which was honoured by the presence of his Royal Highness,
who appeared highly gratified with the performances, which
were of the first character in point of selection and execution.
Mrs. Salmon sung delightfully, and was rapturously encored in
" From mighty Kings," and Rossini's " Tu die accendi."—
Bellamy was never in finer voice, and in Calcott's " Angel of
Life" he particularly excelled, and was most deservedly re-
warded by the applause of the company, at whose desire he
repeated the song.—The other performers, both vocal and in-
strumental, severally acquitted themselves highly to the grati-
fication of a most respectable audience.
NEWPORT, (ISLE OF WIGHT), Aun. 31.—0 n Monday
last a sailing match took place between the Pyschc yacht, be-
longing to Mr. Edward Mew, of this town, and a vessel named
the Martha,__ built by Mr. Grenier, of Cross House, near South-
ampton. The match was for twenty guineas, to sail from the
Trinity yacht, in Cowes Roads, round the Nab Light at
the east end of the island and back, which was won in
style by the Pysche, beating the Martha about eight miles.
—The wind was .E. N. E. blowing strong with an ebb tide, so
that the vessels haa to. beat up to the Nab. The Pysche per-
formed the distance in five hours and 50 minutes. The Martha,
from her well-known superiority in sailing, was the favourite
at starting, and bets of 6 b 3 1 were offered in her favour. The
Pysche was designed and built last year by Mr. John Bennett,
of this town. During the match, Mrs. Jacob, of this place, was
k- ()Aced overboard by the boom of a vessel, and must inevitably
have been drowned, had not a gentleman jumped overboard
and rescued her from her perilous situatiOn.

On Wednesday last, the Sovereign Steam Yacht, which
has been for' some time past building at Stourport, for the
purpose of navigating the Severn between that place and Glou-
cester, was launched there. This vessel is built in a very su-
perior style, and is peculiar in her construction, both as re-
gards her hulk and the machinery by which she is to be impel-
led. Her external appearance is exceedingly handsome, and
the cabins are fitted up in a corresponding style of liberality
and taste. Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the wea.
ther, the novelty of the scene, and the interest excited in the suc-
cess of the undertaking, attracted a vast concourse of persons to
witness the launch. Before removiflg the stays which secured the
vessel to the slip, the ceremony of christening was perform-
ed by a lady, who threw a bottle of wine at her bow, and
she was then ushered upon her native element in the most ma-
jestic and admirable style. The whole passed off exceedingly
well, with the exception of a single accident, and that, we regret
to state, was of a serious nature. Previous to the launch taking
place, 21 pieces of cannon were fired at intervals. Cuon the
commencement of the firing of the second salute, Capt. Sandom
observed to the person who was discharging the guns, (and whit
we are requested to state was in no wayconnected with the yacht)
that from the report they made, he was convinced they were
overloaded, and recommend him not to use so much powder.
Confident, however, in his own judgment, he disregarded the
friendly caution, and the melancholy result was, that on apply.
ing the match to the fifth gun it burst, and killed him on the
spot.— (Worcester Herald, Sept. 1.)
At the late Sailing Match on the river Colne, the silver cup
given by the Mayor of Colchester, was won by the Hawk
of Brightlingsea, which was presented to the fortunate
son of Neptune by Miss Watkinson, accompanied with
a complimentary Address, after which the company retired
from the marquee to the adjoining green, where the merry
dance was led off by the Chief Mai„nstrate and his amiable
young relative,
