ROYAL YACHT CLUB.
•
COWES, JULY 31. _

Since last Monday, more than twenty of the yachts
of this truly important Club have sailed to the West-
ward, to join the squadron under Commodore Lnrd
YARBOROUGH, which had been attending the Dartmouth
and Torquay Regattas, preparatory to the Plymouth
Meeting, on the 3d and 4th August. Among them,
The Swallow, 124 tons, the Duke of Noarout.
The Louisa, 525 tons, the Earl of Canvau; and her tender, the
Mayfly, 40 tons.
The Arid, 338 tons, the Earl of HARBOROUCTI.
The Antelope, 92 tons, Lord Wir.r.ourany na BROKE.
The Jack-e-Lantern, 140 tons, THOMAS A. Sum, Esq.
The Hussar, 120 tons, THOMAS P. %mums, Esq.
The Sabrina, 84 tons, hails Maass, Esq.
The Elizabeth, 65 tons, Sir GODFREY %ism, Bart.
The Arrow, 84 tons, Joan. War.n, Esq.
The Briton, 92 tons, J. P. Powat.t., Esq.
The Unicorn, 158 tow, HENRY PERIM; Esq.
The Erin, 94 tons, T. Amax Esq.
The Cygnet, 57 tons, Joan. Itintomis, Esq.
And the Hind, 21 tons, Captain Hzautounsa.
All which, with fifty other yachts of the Club, now on
various parts of the coasts of the United Kingdom, will
assemble at Cowes on the 19th and 20th of August en-
suing, to celebrate the original Regatta of Old Eng-
land, and which, from arrangements already made,
and the largest expected assemblage of yachts ever
viewed, cannot fail to &tot a scene of the highest inte-
rest and splendour.
Such is the increasing spirit and taste of the day for
aquatic pursuits, that a yacht, to a Nobleman or man of
fortune, is now just as much considered as natural an
appendage to his domestic establishment and comfort as
a carriage. The magnitude of the Royal Yacht Club
in tonnage and men has attracted the attention of the
Directors of Greenwich Hospital; and the csews, by
their contribution, are to be placed prospectively, with
regard to allowances, on the same footing as other sea-
men claiming the benefits of the Institution. How de-
lightful the pursuit which combines the most healtlifid
sources of enjoyment with the national advantages of
improved science in naval architecture, and the employ
of hundreds of deserving sailors
