ship and a distinguished company on board
had been on a cruise, attending the Royal Yacht Squ
ron regatta, and was returning to Cowes, when she ran on
a dangerous reef of rocks off the Plaiders, and immediately
filled. With difficulty those on board got into the
rifa's boat and were put ashore ; and it is much ,fe
that the vessel will be lost. There were on board—
Countess of Wilton, the Marchioness of Aylesbury, Los
Chorles, Lord Stanhope, and several other personage

ROYALTY AND THE SABBATH.—There is one thing
which we regret, in the excursion of the Queen. " Re-
member the Sabbath-day to keep it holy," seems to be
obliterated from Royal recollection. We wonder that no

admonition has been heard—that no remonstrance has
been raised, and that the papers which record the desecra-
tion do not bestow on it a line of respectful reprehension.
It is an unseemly sight—a Prince rushing from place to
place to inspect operations, and to examine dockyards, on
the day which the Almighty has hallowed, and the Church
has consecrated, and the nation, with one consent, agreed
to solemnize. How much more becoming would it have
been had the Queen and her Consort entered under one
of those homely roofs where God is worshipped by humble
followers, and thus set an example which would have been
see to her subjects, and honourable to herself ! We are
mistaken if there are not some in her suite to whom
the proceedings of Sunday were cause of grief and humilia-
tion.—Cork Constitution. [lt was so immediately prior

Conciliation-hall to furnish them with a candidates toot
oppose the re-election of the Master of the Mint. And it
is equally clear, looking to Mr. Shiel's narrow escape from
defeat, that if those immaculate managers had been in
earnest, the result would have been the reverse of what
it has been. It appears from the correspondence, which
commenced so far back as the 10th of July, that the Dun-
garvan patriots had bean in treaty with Mr. (

the successful candidate, - for Youghal, but as they pre-
ferred a genuine sample of a Conciliation Repealer, they
begged that they might be favoured with the loan either
of Sir Colman O'Loghlen (a young Irelander, by the way)
or John Augustus O'Neill, the recently rejected of Kil-
dare. The former, however, having declined standing
for any place, the high contracting parties pitched upon
Mr. O'Neill as the most discreet and proper person to
fight the battle with the Ministerialist. After some fur-
ther negotiation it became manifest that Mr. John O'Con-
nell could not fulfil his part of the bargain, as Mr. O'Neill
seemed to have but little stomach for an expensive and
hazardous contest. At length, on the 27th of July, the
affair was approaching a crisis, and the Repeal committee
wrote to Mr. O'Connell, accepting Sir J. Scott Lillie as
the Repeal candidate. Another letter from Mr. O'C-
