SAILING MATCH.

The Silver Cup and Cover given by the friends of Mr. Gosling,
of the Swan Tavern, Battersea-bridge, was sailed for yesterday, by
the following pleasure vessels :
Tons. Owners.
Sylph 13 • R. Codd,
. .
Spitfire 6 . T. Bettswortb,
. Don Giovanni 11 . J. M. Davey,
Mermaid . 9 . M. J. Crackers.
The boats started at two o'clock to sail to Wandsworth, and
back to Battersea-bridge. From the well-known superiority of the
Don Giovanni, no doubt was entertained of her ultimate sneers'.
They bad a light breeze, and the Don shot a head, leaving the other
vessels a considerable distance in her wake. The Sylph was nearest
the Don Giovanni, and the contest between those boats afforded
much admiration. The Giovanni, however, kept the advantage,
and won the Prize. She was received by the spectators with loud
cheers, and the Swan, at Battersea, was all life and merriment. The
Sylph is one of the best boats above Bridge, and when they have
got her trim, there is no doubt of her beating most vessels of her
class.—The small sailing boats were so snuck astern that they did
not get up to Wandsworth. •

Dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope and the
Mauritius were received yesterday, at the Colonial Office.
