SAILING MATCH.

Yesterday the Silver Cup, annually given by the Thames
Yacht Club, was sailed for by the following boats :

ing Flags.

Lady Louisa 13 T. Smith, Esq. Rotherhithe Purple.

ed.
Royal Eagle 13 T. Stokes, Esq. Rothcrhithe. Pink.
Yda 23 1. Korff, Esq. Bl:tekwall. White.
The boats started from Greenwich a few minutes before
eleven o'clock, the Rob Roy taking the lead. Off Bark-
ing-creek the Ludy Louisa and the Emulation gained or
the first boat, and soon Caine alongside of her. Here the
sight was very interesting, for the three boats, with their
sails full of wind, continued abreast of each other for some

time. At length Emulation get a-head, leaving Rob
Roy, however, but at a short distance behind her. Al
North Channel Rob Roy agai❑ obtained the lead, and a•
one time left her competitors nearly two miles behind her.
It was originally settled that the boats should sail from
Greenwich to Gravesend, and back again to Greenwich,
but the wind being adverse, and the tide not serving, tile
boats went no further than Northfleet, and passing round
a vessel proceeded back again to Greenwich, Rob Roy
being first, Emulation second, Lady Louisa third, Yda
fourth, and Royal _Eagle fifth ; the other two vessels, we
believe, having given up contending for the prize. Rob
Roy, in returning, soon began to lose ground, and she
was passed successively by the Ydu, the Lady Louisa,
and the Emulation. At Greenwich the boats came in
in the following order :—Lady Louisa, Ist; Yda, 2d;
Emulation, 3d; Royal Eagle, 4th; and Rob Roy, sth;
and the silver cup was presented, amidst the cheers of the
spectators, to Mr. Smith, the commander of the success-
ful boat. This match may be considered as good a one as
any that has been sailed for many years. The prize was
so weil contested, that it was quite uncertain, till the boats
got near to Greenwich, which would be the winner ; and
it will be seen how much calculation on this point was
defied, when we state that the two boats, which were very
considerably behind going down the river, came in first
and second at Greenwich. The river presented a guy and
animated appearance, in consequence of the brightness of
the etty, and the number of sailing boats which accom-
panied the match, and which often presented the appear-
ance, when crowded together, of a small fleet advancing
up the river.

On the 22d of January last, the hundreth an-
niversary of the birth of LFSSING was celebrated at Dres
den. The day was spent in festivity, and in the evening
the tragedy of Emilia Galotti, which is considered to be
LEssitia's master-piece, was represented at the theatre.—

Although trade cannot be called good in
Sheffield, we have not much to complain of in comparison
with the manufacturing districts generally. Pauperism is
not, we believe, on the increase amongst us, and we hope
there are few families who do not obtain a sufficiency of
fool. Still, however, there is abundant room for amend-
men t. —Sheffield Iris.

A Correspondent whom, we suppose, to be in
poss;ssion of the Privilege of Invisibdity, or the especial
favourite of some modern Asurodeus, has furnished us
with a Sketch of the Interior of a Cabinet. We are al-
most afraid we shall incur the pains and penalties of a
Premunire, or the more to be dreaded anger of an Eve-
ning Contemporary, by the disclosure; but as it is not easy
to get a peep behind the curtain of this Sanctum Sanc-
torum, we cutout refuse to gratify the curiosity of our
readers; it will be observed that our informant almost
confined his observation to the Leading Character in this
Political Drama. The PREMIER commonly sits in an at-
titude not particularly dignified, but extremely conducive to
personal comfort; he does not take a prominent part in the
discussions of the Cabinet, nor does his attention seem to
be at all times engrossed by what is pasting. When any
observation- of particular interest is made, the PREI4IIER
Mario it by a significant interjection; when an opinion is
hazarded from which he decidedly dissents, he avails him-
self of the Laconic intimation—" That must not be," and
the obnoxious opinion drops still-born ; the discipline of
the subordinates (and in the present Cabinet all with one
exception are subordinate), is, upon the whole, examplary
—it remains to be seen whether the supplementaries will
produce any. change.—Morning Chronicle.
