IVhat a noise the French journals and the Belgian
Opposition journals have made about the decree of
28th August. The above statement of the importa-
tions from Germany proves how perfectly ridiculous
all this noise was.

gaged in the wine and spirit trade, the proceeds prising
from the admission of spectators to be appropriated in
aid of the funds of the Licensed Victuallers Asylum.
The attendance was not numerous. The play alto-
gether was of the first order, and the ground, consi-
dering that the
season is far advanced, was in very
speaking,
fair condition. Strictly the game was not

a match, but rather a day's 1 it was not com-

BRITISH YACHT CLUB.
SAILING MATeu.--The above-bridge sailing match'
amongst gentlemen's yachts connected
With this old
established club, took place yesterday. The race was
for a silver cup and cover, and the following, at half-
past two, took their station off the l'enlPle-gardens, to
sail to Wandsworth Meadows and back :

Oberon, 7 tons, Short, red ; Dauntless, 7, Edwards,
'
blue, red cross • Foam, Davy,
Bjue,,Pst-1
un. white ; Don
Gardner, blue ; Secret, Fowler, ,
The wind was N.W., but there was too little of it
to propel the boats at any speed. On the signal being
given, they all canted round, and made a very pretty
start. The Foam took the lead, closely followed by
the Oberon and the Dauntless, in which order they
passed through Waterloo-bridge. The Oberon shortly
afterwards passed the Foam an
, din Chelsea-reach the'
Dauntless also went by her into the second place.
This advantage on the part of the Dauntless was but
temporary, as the Foam again passed her a little above
the Red House.
.In this order they
Battersea-bridge, the other two boats beingpassed under
fairly dis-
tanced ; but on nearing Wandsworth the Dauntless
repassed the Foam, and came close -upon the quarter
.
of the Oberon, who • first rounded the flag-buoy.
After rounding the boats were partially becalmed,
and the Foam again passed the Dauntless. On their
arrival off Goding's brewery,. the Oberon, which had
the lead, was put out of her way by a barge-road, and
the Foam, passing her to leeward took the first place,
which she held, first passing
the buoy off the Temple
to southward half a minute a head Of the Oberon, the
Dauntless being about a minute astern of her.
