ROYAL YACHT CLUB.

COWES, SEPTEMBER 8.

The squadron of the Royal Yacht Club, under Com-
modore Lord YARBOROUGH, are this day returned.—
The squadron sailed on Sunday, the 29th ult. about one
o'clock, with a fine breeze. In the evening, a thick fog
coming on, the Commodore made the fog-signal to
anchor, and the squadron lay all night off Lymington.
On Monday they sailed, with light winds, but an un-
usually thick fog prevented them from making the
French coast till the next morning, when, on the fog
cleating, the Commodore and the rest of the yachts
were within two miles of Cherbourg. On entering
Cherbourg, Lord YA.RBOROUGH made the signal " An-
chor as convenient." On anchoring, his Lordship sent
ashore a list of the yachts, with, the
.infurmation to the
French Admiral that it was the sqtralrort of the Royal
Yacht Club merely on pleasure, .wishing to visit that
port, and to inform him that the Club were anxious to
pay their respects to him by firing a salute. On the re-
turn of the Gentlemen, the answer from the Naval and
Military Officers in command, with a politeness charac-
teristic of their nation, signified their ready acquiescence-
At half-past one o'clock Lord YARBOROUGH nude
the signal—" Prepare to salute seventeen guns," which
was returned from the fort, with fifteen guns. Lord
Yannonotica then landed, and called on the Admiral,
and also paid his respects to the General, the Mayor,
and other Authorities, and received the greatest civilities.
The Club spent the rest of the day on shore, mixing
with the Officers and Gentlemen, and received the
greatest kindness and attention from all the inhabitants.
On the succeeding day the Governor, General, and
French Officers waited on the Commodore and Mem-
bers of the Squadron, on board their yachts, who re-
ceived them with all due respect and hospitality, in
return for the handsome reception given them on shore.
At two o'clock a Review took place on shore.

After staying at Cherbourg three days, during which
the yachts were visited by all the inhabitants of the port
and its vicinity, who expressed great delight at the size
and elegance of the vessels, and the hospitable urbanity
of their owners, the Commodore made signal to steigh,
and the squadron having reached the Outer Roadtte.“7,
another signal was hoisted for Guernsey, where they
arrived next morning, at siz A.M. and remained three
days. It coming on to blow a gale of wind, the squad-
ron was obliged to remain at anchor instead of weigh-
ing for Jersey, and as soon as it moderated, sailed fur
England. The following yachts composed the squadron
on this occasion:—

Falcon, Commodore Lord Irmizoaouno.
Louisa, Ed of CRAVEN.
Swallow, Duke of Noarom
Mary, Viscount DEESHURST.
Emma, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS.
Ruby, Sir Gait= Lams, Ban.
Frisk, the Honourable WILLIAM HART.
Jack-o'-Lantern, T. A. S3tirit, Esq.
Sabrina, Jams Mani, Esq.
Arrow, Junin( WELD, Esq.
Unicorn, Hexar PERKINS, Eq.
Erin, THOMAS ALLEN, Esq.
Giulia, C. TALBOT, Esq.
Jane, Captain WYNDHAM, R.N.
Cygnet, JOSEPH REYNOLDS, Esq.
Admiral Cornwallis, Captain SrmoNos, R.N.
Nautilus, W. H. SAUNDERS, Esq.
Rosabelle, Farrutatcg Nay, Esq.
Hind, Captain HEERINGHAM, R.N.
The national importance of the Royal Yacht Club is
increasing daily with its growth ; and in addition to the
good effects resulting from the promotion of nautical
science and the employment of so many seamen, it will
be obvious that a visit like this, productive as it is of
cordiality and an interchange of civilities between the
subjects of kingdoms now in a state of amity, and che-
rishing the friendly spirit already manifested by the
French Government, in allowing the yachts of the Club
to enter their ports free of harbour dues, cannot fail CO.
tend most beneficially to the interests of both countries.

DROWNlNG.—Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock,
the inhabitants of Barnes were put in a great state of
alarm by the upsetting of a beat, in which were Lieut.
Webb and Mr. Palmer, late a Midshipman in the Royal
Navy. It appears that a sudden gust of wind coming
.on, Mr. Webb, who had the helm, let go the main-sheet,
leaving it to his friend to brail it to the mast. The lat-
ter, however, losing his presence of mind, put his foot
on the lee-side of the boat, and made an attempt to
catch the sheet. In this act, unfortunately, the boat
was up et. Mr. Webb, being a superior swimmer, saved
himself; but we regret to add, that Mr. Palmer, after a
few strii:_tgles, sunk to rise no mole. Mr. Palmer was
A single al.ma, about 25 years of age, and has left a
motLer :tr.d si.tets to regret his loss.
