COWES, AUG UST 20.

Our Regatta; this year, as was anticipated, has excited much in-
terest: the consequent increase of company during the present
week, and the difficulty of procuring accommodations has been very
great. The weather being very unfavourable at the beginning of
the week, caused a little damp to the spirits; however, the gloom
soon dissipated as the weather proved very auspicious, and every
thing, both afloat and on shore, put on a very gay appearance.—
About noon the Parade was crowded with spectators from all parts
to witness the novel anegay scene on the water, which was nearly
covered with yachts and vessels, all dressed off with variegated
colours, in the best style, among which were Lord Caavves beau-
tiful ship yacht. the Louisa, and bard Yaaamioutsies ditto, the
Falcon, with his Majesty's brig Catuore, decorated from stem
to stern, and the Royal Standard streaming at the main. A little
before midday the review of side pilot vessels commenced, and at-
tracted general notice ; and it certainly was a very pleasing spectacle
to view the whole of the pilot vessels belonging to the Island, sailing
in a long line, according to their respective numbers, with their
distinguishing flags, and all fitted out in the best order. Precisely
at three o'clock,the five following boats started off the Parade at the
mouth of the harbour, and rowed five times round the prescribed
course in view of the spectators :—Tbe Willing Maid, No. 3. owner
Mr. R. STUMM% red flag, first prize, entitled to seven sovereigns
—Nell Gwynn, (4), R. STEPHENS, white flag, second prize, five
sovereigns—Lightning, (5), En. Coate, red with white cross, third
prize, three sovereigns—The Swallow, (2), T. Scum:, blue, fourth
prize, two sovereigns—The Meteor, (1), J. Warm, white and red
