The warm and dry weather which prevailed
till Wednesday has given a yellowish tinge to the wheats
on the light lands in our neighbourhood. In many places,
peas have begun to be pecked, and no where are there
complaints of the crop. Last year, it will be remembered,
when that crop generally failed, the failure was ascribed,
and probably with justice, to the devastations of the shrimp
or green fly. At that time, lady birds, as well as shrimps,
abounded ; and certain rustic naturalists, or rather naturals,
thought proper to caluniniate the inoffensive lady-birds,
and by a strange perversion of intellect, conceived that
they changed their nature as well as their colour, and were
metamorphosed into shrimps, As if to put this calumny
to the test, the lady-birds in myriads bravely withstood the
winter, and have vindicated their character—No shrimps

Gouvernante, the Countess de ALTAMIE,A, " what will the
King of FixaNcz think, when the Duke informs lum that
you are so eager to be married ?"—" Hare you not taught
me," returned the Infanta sharply, " that I must always
speak the truth ?" Aram of Austria was in person tall
and majestic; her countenance was dignified without being
haughty. Her face, though not decidedly handsome, was

PLYMOUTH and DEVOiCPORT REGATTA.

•
PLYMOUTH, JULY The - morning opened
inauspiciously,the clouds appeared in masses threat-
ening heavy rain, but after a few slight showers, the
rain at ten o'clock ceased altogether, and the bright-
ening sky enticed the multitude from their dwel-
lings. A general and simultaneous rush from all
-quarters was made towards the shore, and at noon
the Hoe, from one end to the other, from the shore
to the brow of the hill, was literally studded with
human beings. The surrounding eminences were
also occupied, as was almost every place that com-
manded a view of the sound. The bay itself swarmed
with boats, steamers, and sailing vessels, among
which the yachts of the Royal Club were distin-
guished by their gallant bearing, and their beautiful
proportions. At twelve o'clock there could scarcely
have been. less than twenty-five thousand persons
present. About one hundred carriages were ranged
in line along the brow of the Hoe, and marquees,
booths, refreshments, Ike., were scattered in all
directions.

At half-past eleven their Royal Highnesses the
Duke and Duchess of Clarence, with a numerous
suite, appeared at the mouth of Hamoaze in the
Admiral's barge, from the bow of which floated the
royal standard. The ,barge was attended by the
Lightning steamer, followed by a line of boats con-
taining elegant company. Immediately on the
Royal Party's appearing in sight, the vessels of war
maimed their yards, and commenced firing a royal
salute, the effect of which was highly imposing.
Their Royal Highnesses proceeded across the Sound
to the Victualling Office steps, where they were re-
ceived by the Hon. Gen. Stapylton, Sir James
Gordon, and the officers of that establishment.
They walked from the landing place to a ladder
placed in front of a private entrance to the Citadel,
preceded by fourteen young ladies of respectability,
at the head of whom was Miss Arthur, the daughter
of the Mayor, dressed in white, who strewed
flowers along their path. Their Royal Highnesses
then mounted the ladder, and entered the Citadel,
where they were received by Sir John Cameron and
his officers, the troops-at the same time firing a feu de
joie, and conducted to a marquee erected on the
south west platform which overlooked the Sound
and the Hoe. Here the Royal Party remained
nearly two hours viewing the races, and conversing
affably with those around. At half-past two their
Royal Highnesses appeared on the Hoe, in Sir
John Cameron's carriage, 'followed by several other
Noblemen's carriages full of company. Their Royal
Highnesses were welcomed with the most enthu-
siastic cheering ; and after making
'a tour of the
Hoe, they stopped at the Committees stand, where
his Royal Highness expressed his great giitification
to Mr. Blewett, the Secretary, and to the Commit-
tee, at the scene he had witnessed, and entered into
some minute inquiries respecting the vessels. The
Royal Pair shortly after returned through the garrison
to the. Victualling-office, from whence the Duchess
embarked for &threw. The Lord High Admiral
left the Citadel for Mount Wise. •

THE CLARENCE CUP.

. At eleven o'clock precisely the following yachts
started for the first prize :—/lienai, of Hastings,
163 to9a, T. A. Sm►th, Esq. ; the Harriet, of
Cowes, 92 tons, Lord Belfast; and the Arrow, of
Lymington, 84 tons, Joseph Weld, Esq. The wind
blew a fresh gale from the south-west. In t►e
second round, of twenty-three minutes past twelve,
the Harriet carried away her gaff, and gave up the
contest. The Menai rounded the starting boat the
second time at two minutes past one (two hours
from the" time of starting), and was declared the
victor. The Arrow came ►n two minutes and a half
after the Menai.

SECOND AND THIRD CLASS•

The Elizabeth, of Southampton, J. Moore, Esq.,
being the only vessel entered in the second class, it
was agreed that she shoUld sail with the third class,
the first vessel in to have the Ladies Cup, the prize
intended to have been sailed for by the second class,
and the second boat to carry off the silver vase in-
tended for third class. The vessels that started
under this arrangement, were the Elizabeth, of
6outhamption, 65 tons, J. Moore, Esq. ; the Eliza-
beth, of Sandgate, 42 tons, Earl Darnley ; 'the Dol-
phin, of Cowes, 58 tons, Captain Brown, R.N. ; the
Emerald, of 'Cowes, 58 tons, J. Symonds, Esq.,
and the Zebra, of - Southampton, 51 tons, A.
Richardson, Esq. The vessels started at twelve
o'clock, shortly after which the Emerald, which
had taken the lead, broke her gaff, and was obliged
to decline the contest. The other boats then dashed
on in fine style, and a prettier race could not be
witnessed. The Earl of Darnley's Elizabeth rounded
the starting-boat eight minutes after, which entitles
her to the third prize, a handsome silver vase.

FOURTH, CLASS.

The following boats started at half-past twelve :
Pahnerian, 22 tons, J. Hawker, Esq. ; Betsey, 18
tons, J. Hobbard, Esq. ; Laura, 11 tons, Capt.

Kent, Plymouth; Lurcher, 14, tons, 'Mr. Ball;
