The Intercolonial yachting Regatta held yesterday at Port Philip passed off successfully. There was a large attendance on the flagship, and the weather was fine, with'a good breeze. The grand challenge race was over a forty-five mile course, and was won, as already telegraphed, by the Janet, which came in one minute ahead of the Taniwha, followed by the Secret, which took second prize on her time allowance.
