ROYAL YACHT CLUB.
We are happy in being able to lay a List of the Royal Yacht
Club before our nautical Readers, who, we are sure, will feel
pleasure in perusing the names of the members arid vessels com-
posing this most distinguished maritime institution ; by whose
means naval science is gradually improving; a taste for the sea
and its attractions is widely spreading; and numerous sea-
I men, whose services to the country would otherwise be lost,
ate kept in constant employ. So unrivalled are some of the
Yachts on the list, in celerity of sailing and beauty of construc-
tion, that they have received considerable attention from Go-
vernment, who have lately caused to be bulls, on the Yacht
model, two fine cutters, now employed as Channel cruisers on
the Portsmouth station, viz. the ARROW, 150 tons, Lieotenant
Powsrev, Commander ; and the BAstuse,l6o tons, commanded
by Lieutenant Drzow, R. N. These vessels, the former of which
was built In Portsmouth-yard,' and the latter in the river
names, have for some time past been in the habit of trying
their respective rate of sidling together, to the great gratification
of those who were fortunate enough to obtain a sight of their
contests; and it is at length decided, that the advantage, though
small, lies on the side of the A Rogow ; a circumstance which re-
flects considerable credit on her constructor,tagtain HATe, R.N.
