to sec tho copy ; I have been told it is a very suc- 
cessful one.” And the Emperor had made u friend 
for life. In personal intercourse, His Majesty is 
affable to n rare degree, and is singularly happy in 
obtaining people's good opinion, in a social point of 
view. Tho agent of Sharp's rlfiOj of whom I spoke in a 
postscript last week, was deeply impressed with the Emperor’s 
agreeable manners and address. His Majesty was delighted 
with tho weapon, expressing himself in unmeasured terms. 
He took the agent into hi* privute cabinet, showed him his 
curiosities, nod among them the model of a yacht, sent to 
him by Mr. We>Ui velt, of New York. Louis Napoleon is 
certainly on adopt at winning ill on’s favourable appreciations.

IRELAND— THE ROYAL IRISH YACHT CLIJR. 
The regntlo of tho Royal Irish Yacht Club will tako place 
in Kingstown Harbour, on tho 18th and lOtli of this present 
month of July, under distinguished pntronngo. The pro- 
graming announcos tliut prizes to tho valuo of upwards £250 
will l»o competed for by yachts and boats, tho committee 
giving £20 ouch day for four-oared, and £10 for two-oared 
boats. Tho Royal St. George’s Club have presented 11 beau- 
tiful cup to their brother yachtsmen, to bo sailed for on the 
first day, and are In every possible manner lending their aid 
to render thn coming file most attractive. Tho Daily Ex- 
jirett, in rofbrenco to this event, says:— 
“ Wo hope many of our yachting friends on tho other sido 
of the Channel will enrol fliomsolvcs among the list of com- 
petitors ; IT tho recollections of former Irish regattas he not 
oiillroly faded from their momory, wo are suro they will. To 
glvo nddillbnul (dal to the proceeding, tho members of the 1 
club will entertain a largo number of their friends at 11 
drjdhict which, we need scarcely remark, will be given In a 
stylo that cannot bo exceeded for splomJour and costllno>s 
The regatta of the Royal Western Yacht Club will tako place 
at Kingstown on tho 20th und 2I*t ; so tliut four successive 
days of aquatic sports are to como off this mouth. The Royal 
Irish Club liavo, in the handsomest mannor, given the use of 
tholr moorings to their Western friends, who will eolebrato 
tho event by a hull on u grand scale nt the Club-rootns, 
nrafton-street. Tho matches announced by tho Royal Wes- 
tern possess a novulty not hitherto witnessed by our fellow- 
citizens, as the competing yachts are to bo manned and 
steered by gentlemen who must bo rhombors of tho Royal 
Yacht Clubs." 
Hurrah for the II moral d Isle! Afloat or osboro tlioro Isn't 
a faint-hearted yachtsman in Dublin Day. “ Charley,” in- 
deed, has ’listed away from Irish walOlD many a crock follow 
under the promise of a bull at Crpnstudt, that bills fair to bo 
more killing than tho approaching regatta ball at Kingstown, 
hut though tho pendant bus thus tempted many of tho sons of 
tho burgee to desert their early colours for thoso of their 
Queen and country, their desertion cannot but bn admired ; 
and after having polished off tho Autocrat, no doubt they will 
return, 14 with nil the honours,” to thn yachts “ they left 
behind them.” Meanwhllo, tho employed being away, tho 
employers Intond, in collego phrase, to hnv 0 “a little go” 
among themselves. And small blame to (hem. Look 
to the advertisement in Tiie Fiiclo of to-day of tho 
Itoyul Western Yacht Club Regatta (page C37), where 
the Corinthian Cup looms among coining events as 
ono of tho most novel and attractive, ami indeed praise- 
worthy means of proving thn utility of yachting. In 
rowing, gentlemen nt tho Universities in either kingdom 
stand pre-eminent; and in sailing the II. I. Y. Club 
regatta will prove most indisputably tlmt n proper knowledge 
of tacks, shoots, halliards, und tillers, is not confined to tlmse 
whoso destiny has born them before the mast. Tho Corin- 
thian Cup lias already induced some thirty entries, uml 
Ireland 41 expoets that every than "'ill do his duty.” Great 
Hrituin will furnish her quota of crack crnfi, and t lie Corln- 
tldun Cup of 1854 will verily, in valuo ami in honour, be a 
prize worth contending for. Wo wish the Club every success, 
and wo nro suro they will attuin it.

Ami in this state of tlio game the play lermiuated, Surrey 
having six wickets to obtain 34 runs. 
BIRMINGHAM VICTORIA r. FOREST OF ARDEN. 
Wednesday, June 28. 
A pleasant match we had, Mr. KdltOr, witli fine weather. 
Mr. Power’s failure to rival Wisden was the signal for voting 
round bowling a nuisance, and for returning to the 44 high, 
home, und easy” of our forefathers (any ball not pitched half- 
way to bo considered shabby, and cut accordingly). Never 
was Fulford more enticingly deceptive. Mr. Joseph Smith 
(not tiie commander of the Faithful at Nuuvoo) made some 
slogging lifts; one, to such a towering height, that, os tho 
little Pntinnddr said, “ Sure it was a safe sixer, if tiie turf 
hadn’t been so dead.” Mr. Nickling, with a courtesy and 
absence of mind that did him crodit, presented tiie ball to tiie 
wicket keeper, who, fearing a dodge, 44 Titneo Danaos et dona 
ferentos,” appealed to the umpire, a sad vulgar dog, not able 
• o appreciate such an excess of politeness, who ordered him 
from the wicket; wo all thought it u burning shame, and the 
deridvo laughter that greeted the umpire must have been balm 
to Mr. Niekling’s shocked notions of propriety. Mr. Cross- 
land's exertions had been so great, tliut when trying to run a 
num out ho had only strength left to grasp the hall and sink 
exhausted on the wicket , 44 tliut frit unusual weight,” and left 
him “ extended many a rood.” Query — was tho man out? 
I put this to your cricket readers.

WESTBOURNF, r. WAYWODE. 
Tho above match was played ut KenuJugton Oval on Satur- 
day last, when, notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the 
Weather in the early part of t he morning, an uncommonly 
good game ensued, which, not being played out, was decided 
by the first Innings in favour of tiie Westbourne by 39 runs. 
Some excellent play was exhibited on both sides. The scientific 
batting of Messrs. J. Allen and J. Daly, of the Westbourne 
deserves especial notice ; as also tho bowling of Mr. A. Plows 
for the Waywode, which was steady and effective throughout. 
A heavy mist and rain, which came on during the second in- 
nings ol - tiie Waywode, told considerably against the bowling 
and fielding of the Westbourne men.

WATERHEAD r. ELY'. 
On Friday, the 30tb nit., u very interesting and well con- 
tend game was played between tiie above clubs ou the Ely 
ground, which terminated by being decided by the first 
innings, the former winning by seven runs. The batting of 
Messrs. French and Youngman, on tho part of tiie Water- 
bench, was worthy of admiration, and tho bowling of the 
former gentleman and Mr. Silk, on the same side, was equally 
good, and did great havoc with tiie citizens’ lancewood Odds 
being in favour of the Ely gentlemen the disappointment may 
lie imagined at the close of the day’s ploy. Tiie next match 
will be ployed on an excellent pioco of ground at Winfold, 
near Waterbeacb, wheu both clubs will 44 try their strength ” 
for the couqueriog match of the seasou.
