AMUSEMENTS.

The amusements that Plymouth affords to its inhabitants and visitors are upon a liberal scale. Nautical men, and those fond of nautical tactics, are gratified once a year, during the summer, by various sailing matches of gentlemen's pleasure yachts, in the Sound, under the auspices of "The Port of Plymouth Royal Clarence Regatta Club."
