HERNE BAY REGATTA. 
The regatta at this watering-place took place on Monday, 
the 11th inst., and was attended by the fashionables of the 
country and neighbourhood. The prizes were, The Herne 
Bay Cup, value thirty guineas, for yachts not exceeding 
twenty tons ; The Canterbury Cup, value twenty guineas, for 
yachts not exceeding ten tons ; and A Purse of Sovereign e, 
for the Whitstable fishing-boats not exceeding seventeen tons; 
with several prizes for rowing-boats. Time allowed, one 
minute a ton. For the first cup, the following entries took 
place : Secret, 16 tons, Capt. Gardener; Julia, 7 tons, Dr. 
Bain ; Little Musquito, 7 tons, Thomas Bartlett, Esq. The 
course was twice round three mark -boats moored outside the 
head of the pier, in about seven fathoms water ; a distance, 
on the whole, of twenty-four miles. At 1 p.m. the gun fired 
to take stations, and at the next gun the yachts started. 
Musquito took the lead and kept it throughout, winning by 
eleven minutes ; Julia second; Secret gave up after the first 
round. This is the fifth prize won by the Musquito this 
season ; in fact, this small and handsome craft has never been 
beaten. She was purchased by her present owner at South- 
ampton, and was only built the latter part of last year by 
Mr. Daniel Hatcher, the successful builder of the Sea Nymph 
and Vampire. Mr. Hatcher is laying down a new 35-ton 
yacht for Mr. Bartlett, on a new model, with hollow lines, 
combining speed and accommodation, us well as aiming at 
the character of a thorough sea-going craft. The Musquito 
is only twenty-three feet long, and eight feet nine inches 
beam, and rIio invariably beats yachts of eight to ten feet 
more in length. The Canterbury Cup was not sailed for. 
The other usual amusements took place, and in the evening 
a dinner was served up at the Royal Pier Hotel (see page ) 
in a manner that did great credit. The health of Mr. Burge, 
the “ founder of Home Bay," was proposed and drunk with 
enthusiasm, which he duly acknowledged. Fire-works 
brought the day's amusements to a brilliant termination ; and 
now all eyes are turned towards Chatham, where the Medway 
Yacht Club Regatta is the next event of importance. 
HASTINGS ANNUAL REGATTA. 
This annual regatta, says the Dover Chronicle of September 
16, which was open to all ports from and between Ramsgate 
and Portsmouth, took place on Monday last. The first mutch, 
between first-class sailing-boats, for which seven boats entered, 
resulted ojs follows : — 
Lion, Hostings W. Bumstcad 1 
Ouoen, St. Loonorda A. Taylor 2 
Corsair, Hostings C. Appleyard, Esq. 3 
The Second Race — the principal race of the day — between 
first-class four-oared galleys, was contested by six boats. 
They made a very good shirt, the galleys getting away to- 
gether, and rounded the eastern buoys in very close order, 
the Arrow and Topsy being slightly in advance of the other 
four ; and on passing the committee vessel the two first 
named were neck-aud-neck, and it was evident that a race of 
great interest would be the result. The boats had now a 
straight pioco of rowing of a mile to the western buoys, 
which were rounded as follows : the Arrow and Topsy 
together, the Anne being third, and the others close up in the 
pull. To the winning-post the boats had a little head sea, and 
had proceeded a very little way before the Topsy showed her 
“nose" clear of the Arrow, and gradually drew from her 
old opponent, and finished a good dozen lengths in advance. 
The struggle for the third place was good, the Anne beating 
the Surprise by liulf-a-length ; the Flora and Lelia pulled 
well together, finishing almost level. The following, there- 
fore, was the order in which they came in : — 
Topsy, Hastings T. Culmor 1 
Arrow, Ranisguto E. Goldsmith 2 
Anne, Brighton A. T. Mills 3 
Surprise, Hastings T. Pickenlen, jun. 4 
Luisa, Hustings T. V idler 6 
Flora, Hustings E. Pickucll, jun. 0 
The Third Race, between river skiffs, was won easily by 
tbe Phantom (St. Leonards) ; Flirt (Hustings), being second; 
and Paddington (Hastings), third ; beating four others. 
The Fourth Race, between amateur four-oared galleys, was 
u good race. The boats came in in tbe following order : — 
Anne, Brighton A. T. Mills 1 
Leila, Hustings 0. Chandler 2 
Surprise. Hostings C. Breeds 3 
Arrow, Hastings W. Piokuell, jun. 4 
Flora, Host ings E. Pickncll, jun. 5 
La Lucie, Samlgnto A. Whiting C 
The Fifth Race, between first-class pair-oared pleasure 
skiffs, was also u good race, uud terminated in the following 
order : — 
Nautilus, Ramsgato D. Goldsmith 1 
J> h i Tutt, Hastings G. Wemnan 2 
Svlph, Hostings H. Carpenter 3 
Wave, Hastings J. Hinckley 4 
Five other smaller matches followed ; and the days sport 
terminated. 
ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB. 
On Wednesday last the yachts about the station belonging 
to this club formed fleet under the orders of tlie Rear-Com- 
modore, who had to officiate on the occasion. The day was 
beautifully fine, a warm atmosphere, with a flue whole-sail 
breeze from the S.W. There were about eight yachts present, 
and some of a large tonnage, which joined company uud pro- 
ceeded to sail out of the port shortly after 9 a.m. On 
arriving out at sea, they continued on their course until, the 
flood-tide making strong, they were compelled to return. 
There was some fine beating to windward on the return, 
some of the schooners looking particularly fiue on arriving 
in the river under full canvass. Each of the owners of the 
vessels had a party of friends on board, and all expressed 
themselves pleased with the enjoyment and hospitality which 
they received.

destroyed a large division of Russian gunboats, which the 
enemy thought were safe in that harbour. The town was 
set on fire.

ARREST OF MAZZINI. 
The Journal de Gentve of the 9th contains the following : — 
“ A letter from Berne of the 7th informs us that Mazzini has 
been arrested at Basle. He was coming from Berne, where 
he had spent some days in the house of a patrician, to whom 
he described himself as an Italian Count, greatly attached to 
Austria, and driven into Switzerland by the fear of the 
cholera. According to our correspondent, the police has 
discovered his residence, and was preparing to apprehend 
him, when he absconded, and left for Basle, under a false 
name. The Government gave notice to the authorities of 
his arrival, and he was arrested on alighting from the dili- 
gence."

The Monitcur publishes the following despatch : — 
“ Therapia, Sept. 7. — The French and the Turks left 
Varna on the 5th. The English fleet was to join them at 
the Isle of Serpents. The weather is fiue.” 
The Isle of Serpents — called, in Turkish, Yilan Adassi ; 
in Greek, Fidonisi ; in Russian, Zmenio'i Ostrow —is a small 
rocky Island, situated at a short distance from the coast of 
Bessarabia, opposite the mouths of the Danube. It is about 
a mile and a half in circumference. A lighthouse has been 
erected upon it. According to the accounts of Wallachion 
deserters, who arrived at Bucharest on the 2nd inst., the 
army of Priuce Gortschakoff was in a state of the greatest 
demoralisation. The Russian troops, continually harrossed 
and beaten by the Turks, over whom they were promised an 
easy victory at the opening of the campaign, have lost all 
confidence.

The Three per Cents, were done at 34. 
RUSSIAN RETREAT IN ASIA. 
( By'jSubmarine and European Telegraph.) 
Trieste, Friday. 
The steamer from Constantinople, brings word of a sudden 
movement of the Russian corps, under Prince Bebutoff on 
the frontier of Georgia. The Ottoman Mushir ordered the 
advance of eight regiments of cavalry, desiring to draw on an 
engagement. The Turks approached nearer and nearer to the 
Russian camp, until they discovered that it had been aban- 
doned as if in great haste. The Turks fouud in the enemy's 
camp ten spiked guns, and ammunition, and a large number 
of waggons, besides mules, on the ground. It is ascertained 
that the enemy has retreated to the shelter of the walls of 
Gumri. The reason of this strange proceeding is supposed 
to be the presence of Schamyl with a large force near Tiflis. 
RACING. 
“ On the green, greon turf.” 
Mr. Editor, — “St. George and Victory" was once the 
loud battle-cry of many a belted knight. It may now be 
beard with nasal twang from the chuckling throats of those 
who are ever quick to scent a “good thing," and which, when 
found, they know how to turn to the rarest profit. The 
Sellinger is over, and Knight of St. George declared the 
victor ; but the settling is not over, and, what is more, the 
odium attached to some parties connected with the race is 
not of the past. On Thursday last I wrote. “ Let him but 
start, and my voice must be for Acrobat, with Ivan or Mid- 
summer for second, while The Trapper and the crack dis- 
pute the honours for third place." This was no selection of 
the horses according to the position they held in the betting, 
for the two great favourites were at once discarded. The 
next day I added in time for your second edition — “ Boiardo is 
firm, maintaining his high position, and keeping his rivals at 
a respectful distance in the betting, however he may deal with 
them in the race. Acrobat still droops in the shade, while, 
sti-ange to say, Dervish is actually looking up. The Sellinger 
maybe well termed a mystery. A feverish interest is thereby 
created, and which will not cease till the leading horses have 
long passed the Red House, on their way to the envied goal, 
on Wednesday next. But I cannot alter my opinion that, 
with fair play, Acrobat is able to beat any of bis opponents." 
I had reason to make fair play a stipulation, because it was 
openly avowed by some, who professed to have their infor- 
mation from the best of quarters, that laying against Acrobat 
was, in the elegant phraseology of the ring, “peppering a 
dead ’un." No one will impugn the right of an owner to 
try and win with whatever animal he pleases, but, I presume, 
it will also be admitted that no gentleman will start a horse 
with the intention of its being beaten. Failing to achieve 
success with the selected one, in favour of whom a de- 
claration is usually made, the other is supposed to bo brought 
to the rescue, and to do the utmost for the honour of his 
colours. I cannot believe that Lord Derby could be a party 
to tbe strange proceeding of Wednesday ; but his trainer 
must assuredly feel that, in public estimation, he has, this 
time, made something more than a mistake. If any one 
should require an apt bit of alliteration, here it is — Doncaster 
Discreditable Doings. 
I have just heard that there has been a “scene" on the 
course to-day, but as the particulars have not reached me, 
I refrain from comment. Explanations, however, must now 
be given, and let us hope, for the honour of the tui-f, that 
they may prove satisfactoiy. 
We have the promise of no end of racing next week, 
Pontefract getting to work first, on Monday. I have but 
time to allude to one or two of the principal events. 
Great West Riding Handicap. Two miles. — Dr. O'Toole, 
at Cst 51b, ought to be able to accomplish this affair ; if not, 
I must look to W. J. Anson’s stable, and trust to Jetty Treffr 
or Little Fawn. 
Park Hill Stakes. — I see nothing that I like better than 
Amy. 
Stand Plate. — Deformed or Bourgeois should be some- 
where near the mark. 
Pontefract Handicap. Mile and a half. — Maid of the 
Tees. , 
Nearer home, Bedford engages our attention on Wednesday 
and Thursday.
