CeWES, Sept 21.-The sailing season drawing to a cl-se. nod many of the members being about to depart to their coantry residences, the Faleo, Com.modore Lnrd Yarborough, c-anc intcr Cowes harbour on Saturday, the 18:1h inst., preparatorv to a ball his Lordship proposed giving on Monday to the Yacht ZNlenibe'-s and their fricnds. Sunday, his Lordsfiip invited the mnenbe rs lying in Cowes Roads to linner, who, with their friends, 2-nirnunted to 2-2. The evening proved exceedlingly wet, which was t0e-.ccasion of many ladies despairing ot' a fine evening for the ball rtue next night; a favourable charge, however, taking place, fr a shift of wind to the norrit-west, the weather cleared and nro- dacesi a fiae evening. The Falcon was covered with an awning ar,d decorated in thc interior with colours, and the signal flags of the Club, having the distinguishing flag at the stem. with the letters R Y. tL( and the Crown and foul Anchor (permittedl to be worn by the Lords of the Admiralty), ornamente(I with laurels and flowers, brilliantly illuminated, wrhich, reflecting from the brass-work of be. laying piRs, &c., had a most striking effect. At 10 o'clock p. m, l,ard Varborough received the company; but, from the numerous r_senZialze, the boats did not cease to board the yacht till nearly 12 ,'dock. Country dances, quadrilles, and Scotch reels, were im. rMediateIv formed, extending the whole length of one side of the yacht's deck. At two o'clock a. ir., the supper was announced, when the Uesta descended to the three cabins, the tables of which pre- a most sumptuous display of everv delicacy that fancy could irnainc, eonsisting of creanms, jellies, preserves, Champagne, Fron- sjinac, and other French wines, and an unusual supply of particu- larly fine pJnes, grapes, and other fruit. On withdrawving from this bffllrg(e ng recommenced, and was k-ept up with the highest spirrs >n c iny-ment until four a. nn., when the boats assembled round the Feleo;,, to cinvey the visiters to their respective homes; and many of tte boats, fitted up as gondolas, with lamps, had a most novel ar,d ilesing nppearance. About 12 o'clock on Tutesday, the broad peL-tln. was strtck. antl the distinguishing burgee of the Club ha,tes., and Lord Yarborough went ashore. There were 300 per. tzns present. Mr. Keaan's benefit at Gaivay Thcatre was a complete b.mper. The Gaiway paper states, that " during Mr. Kean's stav irn fawvy for the last weet, sotne unknown villain or villains, for purposes which no one can divine, cut and destroyed the pannels of his caretaga." 3rlr. Kenas is playing at hivAerick with great success.
