wings admit that they love and respect the northern
wings that voted against the South more than they
10 the northern democrats who voted for us. This
confession shows the true feeling of many southern
wings towards the President They hate him without
4 cause, and they hate him all the more because he
will not give them any excuse for hating him. But
do not believe that this feeling is general among
all the wings of the South. Many OF them admit
that the President has done WELL and like true pa
triots will give him their support The recent cleo
ton in North Carolina shows that thousands of south
wings will hereafter support the President and
his administration, and although northern wings alb
olitionsts, freesoilers and know nothings may
bne against the President, the peope-the real hon
est and patriotic masses Of the cOuntry-will trum-
phantly sustain him.

THE YACHT FLEET OF GREAT BRITAIN.--The II
principal yacht clubs of Great Britain, says the New
York Spirit of the times comprise 62l beautiful
vessels, and employ some 4. 400 OF the finest seamer
in the world. These yachts possess san aggregate
tonnage of % $50, and carry 1870 guns. Fhe guns
are principally of bass, from two to nine Founders
All the yachts are provided, also, with small arms Of
every description, and the crews, In most cases, are
instructed in the use of them. The cost OF the ele
giant amusement of yachting is of course enormous
The nsrnsic value of the vessel aoneis three quar-
tiers of million of pounds. The annual amount O.
wages paid to the Seamen exceeds El20 900, and the
amount of outlay in provisions, clothing and innum
cradle luXures is almost beyond the reach of cred
biIity.
According to a correspondent of the London Times
there were some stormy scenes within the Palace al
Madrid during the revolution, and but Tor the King
who appears TO have acted with degree of deter
mnation that might hardly have been expected from
him. the Queen would have left Madrid. The Rain
Zares did all in their power to accomplish this, and
on two occasions were near succeeding. NJ. Turgo
IS SAID strongly to have advised the Queen on no &C
count to leave her capital. The Queen mother wished
to take her 10 La Grana, although her own recOIec
mons OF that place might have taught her that it is
sale refuge from the torrent of revolution. 1t is sale
mat the King was so exasperated as to draw hi
sword on the Duke de Rainzares, who forthwith bea
retreat. Another on dit is, that during a STORMY
discussion as to whether no Espartero's conditions
should be accepted, the dOwager Queen, who was VIC
lenty opposed to their acceptance, forgot herself ST
far as to strike her daughter.
