SOUTHAMPTON REGATTA.

On Thursday morning, at nine o'clock, the Falcon,
Commodore Lord Yarborough, weighed with about fifty
yachts of the Royal Yacht Club, and proceeded up South-
ampton river to attend the Regatta, where the noble Com-
modore was received with a salute of fifteen guns, which
his Lordship returned, and was visited by the Regatta
Committee. At about half-past ten o'clock the following
yachts started to sail round the Brambles for the Ladies'
Cup, viz.:—Vice-Commodore the Earl of Belfast's
Louisa, Joseph Weld, Esq.'s Lulworth, and Thomas
Assketon Smith, Esq.'s Menai. The Cup was won by
Louisa, beating Lulworth three minutes and thirty se-
conds, and Menai seven minutes, and was presented to
the Vice-Commodore by Mrs. Captain George M. Nigh,
R.N. Soon after the yachts for the Ladies' Cup had
started, the Match for the Members' Cup took place be-
tween the Blue Eyed Maid, J. Lyon, Esq., Oberon,
George Gunston, Esq., Yda, John Korff, Esq., and
Neuha, James Saunderson, Esq., sailing round a vessel
off Sydney Lodge, which was won by the Blue Eyed
Maid, and presented to James Lyon, Esq. by Miss Scott,
daughter of the Vice-Admiral. The Oberon came in se-
cond, the Yda third, and the Neuha last. A third
matsh took place between the Itchen Hoys, for money
prizes. A fourth match, between skiffs and wherries be-
longing to the port, for money prizes. A fifth match, by
row-boats, for money prizes; and a sixth match, between
the wives, daughters, and sisters of fishermen, also fur
money prizes.

We are authorised to state, that the account
which has appeared in the papers, stating that a cause
had been tried before Chief Justice BEST, in which a pauper
was plaintiff, and the East India Company defendants, a
verdict of 70,0001., and 2,000/. a year was given for the
plaintiff, is totally unfounded, so far as relates to the East
India Company.—Morning Advertiser.

The East India Company's ship Bridgewater
was all well on the 19th April, in lat. 5. 00 South ; long.
85. 00 East.

INOCULATION OF HYDROPHOBIA.-SOIIIC
experiments have recently been made at the Veterinary
College, at Alfort, upon this subject. A horse, two dogs,
and three sheep, were inoculated with tile saliva of a sheep
affected with hydrophobia, at various stages of the disease,
but no symptom of the malady was produced on the ani-
mals thus experimented upon. Four months had elapsed
after their inoculation when this report was made..—Jfeci.

The cinnamon department of the island of
Ceylon consists of from 25,000 to 26,000 people, who
form a separate caste of their own, and who are altogether
employed in the cultivation of the cinnamon-tree (laurus
cinnamomum), and in preparing the bark of that tree for
the market. The exportation of this article from Ceylon
frequently amounts to 6000 bales, of 801 b. each bale.—
Although the cinnamon grows wild in the south and south-
west parts of the island, the Dutch and English Govern-
ments have thought it advantageous to have it cultivated
in four or five large gardens ; one of the largest of which,
called the Marandan, is close to Colombo. From the
bark of the cinnamon tree the cinnamon which is used
for culinary purposes is prepared, and also a very fine oil,
like the oil of cloves, is prepared from the leaves, and the
finest description of camphor from the roots,— Gardener's
Magazine.
