viz. The Lie a/ Wight Regatta *and Sailing Match, is,
we learn, fixed for Thursday the 23d, and Friday
the 2i..h days of July ensuing, when report says,
R,oyahy will honour the spectacle with its presence.
To the distinction given the Yacht Club by his
Royal liiAhness the PRINCE RecENt's special pa-
tronage, the Club has also to boast of the accession
of their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CLAttExce
and Gt.oucEsrEe as Members.
The institution of a Society of Yacht Men, mostly
composed of Noblemen and Gentlemen of large for-
tunes (novel as it may appear) is likely in its effects
to be of National importance, inasmuch as its object
and.pursuit dies ish the characteristi: taste of English-'
men, and have a tendency to improve sea skill and
naval architecture; Several.yachts have been built.'
and launched this year on principles of science, en-
ti-ely new, the models of which are allowed tc be
the 'acme of perfection. The yachts now at Cowes,
in daily sailing practice, are

AUTHENTICITY OF OSSIAN'S POEMS PROVED.—.--
The following has been transmitted to The Literary
Gazette, on the most respectable authority :--" A'
curious and interesting paper (by limn CAMPBE.LL,
Esq. author of The Wanderer in, Ayrshire, Birth of
Bruce, acc.) on the Battle-fields of Fingal in Ulster,
has been read before the Society of Scottish Antigua-
rians, and generally approved of by that respectable
bo.ly of Literati. This scrutini4ng traveller went to
Ulster, and there commenced a laborious inquiry on
the subject; and in the county Antrim soon disco-
vered, by the proximity to the Highlands of Scot-
land, and the analogy of names, &c. used in the
Poems of Ossiles, that he was in the desired neigh-
bourhood. The caves, stones, ruins, arc. of antlent
warfare and magnificence, in and around the ancient
city of Connor, induced hini to believe that he tad
discovered the Semora of the ancients, where was the
P.elace of the Irish Kings of the race of Connor, of
Morven, to whose assistance FINQAL so frequently
svetit when whose
his kinsman was threatened by the
Princess of the Bclgz.—ln this opinion Mr. C. was
soon confirmed by the discovery of the places men-
tioned in the Poems, as being in its immediate
neighbourhood ; and ultimately by the remains of
the Palace itself, which has been in ruins since' the
city was stormed by EDWARD BRUCE in 1316.. The
discoveries made, and the convincing tenor of :he
ci th,)rate paper on the subject, ale sufficient
the twig ir.credulous, even Dr. Jonsisow hi:ri-
le-If, were he in life, that FINGAL !ought and OSSIAN
