ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIKEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other squally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying hare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. - " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford; ut the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places t within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. a superior class of seamen, and were greatly preferred by masters of vessels to the ordinary run of boys reared in the seaports. ' By affirming the resolution the house would be stamping with its approval a system that was now in sue cessful operation amongst 5,000 or 6,000 pauper children in and around the metropolis. Mr. LOWE opposed the motion as vague and inconclu sive. The Council for Education had upwards of a million of children under them, one-half of whom were boys who would come within the scope of the resolution. If, there fore, the system of the gymnastic training advocated by the noble lord were introduced into the schools which re ceived aid from the Parliamentary grant, and involved only au increased expenditure of one penny per head per week, it would be tantamount to augmenting the present capita tion grant by one-fourth. He objected to the motion, there fore, that it would be the means of saddling the country with a heavy charge, and open the door to a great number of other applications of the sort. Mr. AI)DERLEY said that no one could dispute the general proposition of the noble lord with regard to the benefit accruing to the population from a systematised gymnastic training ; but as the resolution was worded it did not point to any practical conclusion. He would sug gest, therefore, that the noble lord should amend his mo tion by proposing that the education grant should be applied to the encouragement of physical training in schools, aided by the grants of this house.

The following bills were read a third time and passed : Tuffnell's Estate, North Devon and Oakhampt on Railway —London, Chatham, and Dover Railway and Mid Kent Railway (Bromley to St. Mary's Gray)—Nene Valley Drainage and Navigation Improvement—Llanidloes and Newtown, Mid Wales, and Manchester, and Milford Rail ways—Bristol Port Railway and Pier—London, Chatham, and Dover (Battersea Junction)—Llanolly Railway and Dock—Swansea Harbour Trust—and Sevenoaks Railway. NAVAL AND VICTUALLING STOKES BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was reported with amendments. MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT AMENDMENT THE DIAMOND CHALLENGE SCULLS. Grand Heat. Oxford, Mr. W. B. Woodgate London, Mr. E. E. Brickwood This race created the most lively interest. Mr.Woodgate, the great scull er of Oxford, was here opposed to the amateur champion of the Thames, Mr. E. D. Brickwood. There was a great deal of money laid out at evens, and Mr. Brickwood for choice. Mr. Vloodgate had the best place on the Berks side. It was a very level start, both men going away at the same instant, and exhibiting that finished style of work for which they are both so justly celebrated, Mr. Brickwood taking a lead, which he had with great exertion improved to a length at Remenham. There he crossed, and too soot, and ere their arrival at the Poplars they had both become level again, both rowing on the opposite shore to the station they had in the beginning. With each succeeding stroke the same equality was preserved, and amidst the most deaf ening plaudits the judge pronounced this a dead heat. Both men kept close to their shores during the latter part of the race. BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to extend the examination, which had been found so useful in the cases of captains and mates, to first and second engineers engaged in steam ships. The bill also contained some new enact ments relating to pilotage and collisions. The Earl of DONOUGHM ORE expressed his general approval of the provisions of the bill. After a short discussion the bill was read a second time. Lord ELCAO intimated his readiness to adopt the sug gestion, but was ruled to be out of order by the Speaker, and the motion was put in its original form, and negatived without a division. After some conference with the Regatta Committee, the two gentlemen mutually agreed to start again immediately after the next race, which they did with the following re sult:— Mr. E. D. Brickwood Mr. W. B. Woodgate The greatest excitement prevailed as the two gentlemen rowed down to the station ; as before, a vast number of aqua- tic men taking the meadows and the towing path to run back with them. The race, Which disappointed general expectation from not being close, is soon told. They were started very evenly, and so continued a hundred yards, and then Mr. Brickwood rapidly left him, and passed the Pop lars three or four lengths ahead, which he increased before the finish. In this race Mr. Brickwood kept his course much better than before. GRAND CHALLENGE Cur. Eight Oars. London Rowing Club Oxford Trinity College Boat Club The London Crew—Messrs. H. Hood, W. Stout, P.

This was, of course, the most important event of the day; and although many favourable opinions were expressed upon the Oxford crew, the Londoners were the favourites generally at 5 to 4. but at that price there were plenty of takers. The Oxford had the best station, and they made a very even and fine start, Oxford at first drawing the nose of their beat slightly in front; after a few more strokes they became level, and then gradually, inch by inch, the Lon doners drew themselves clear at the Poplars, and so conti nued to the end of the race, in which both rowed capitally. z 7_) ••- - ~ Ofe , -- , --- (N,...--e- - ' Ge_ t PR1CE.....—..4d.

In noticing the proceedings of the -National Rifle Association from day to day, it has heretofore been a rather unsatisfactory task to record the unferour able state of the weather, and the damaging effects that would undoubtedly be the consequence upon the funds, and the increased anxiety to those who were engaged in getting up its details; but yester day formed almost a solitary exception to that rule. The morning opened gloriously, the dark clouds which have so long hovered over the scene had ex hausted their strength, and a bright sun shed its genial rays on all around. The weather is almost an unerring test as to the company to be expected, and that excellent barometer was never more accu rately tested than yesterday, for in the place of the company being confined to the volunteers, enveloped in macintoshes and high gaiters, there was a nume rous body of spectators in light summer dresses, and some of the ladies went so far as to appear in opera cloaks and ball-room costume. Two Orientals.. in bright scarlet dresses, attracte a good deal of at tention, and they appeared to d take a good deal of interest in what was going on, but their names did not transpire. The Common yesterday presented a gay appear ance; the flags of all nations marked the general outline of the ground ; while from the encampment floated banners bearing the arms of each particular county over the tents respectively occupied by the representatives of it. In addition to the accommo dation of a post-office on the ground, within the last few days an electric telegraph has been added, which, being connected with the wires of the the Electric Telegraph Company at Putney, a fa cility of communication is afforded to every part of the kingdom. Several hostelries have also sprung up, among which is mine host Marshall, of the Fox and Hounds, Putney, who has supplies at an iron house on the Common, and where " creature com forts" are liberally supplied. Of course, the great feature of interest in the programme of the day was the commencement of the contest for the Queen's Prize at the second stage, which was now reduced to 40 competitors — the 20 who had been awarded Whitworth rifles, and 20 who had made the highest score below them. Having now narrowed the contest from upwards of 1,100 competitors to 40, who must of course pos sess in the aggreate a degree of excellence rarely to be met with, they having fought their way through the respective ranges of 200, 500, and 600 yards, this limited field was of course the chief at traction; for out of this small number must be se lected the one who would become the possessor of her Majesty's Prize, and the highest honours of the Association. It is also a very severe test of the skill of those who were engaged in it, as will be re membered that Sergeant Dougan, who last year stood first on the list at the short range, and gained the silver medal of the Association, altogether failed when he had to try his hand at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards range. The business commenced at the usual hour at the 800 yards range, and after a spirited contest Captain Williams, of the 19th Mid dlesex (Working Men's College) made 21 points; Mr. M. Smith, Victoria, 21; Mr. C. Smith, Edin burgh, 21 ; and Captain Gee, 55th Lancashire, 20. At 900 yards, Captain Williams made 16 points, which, added to his former score, made 37 points; Mr. Anderson, 22d Middlesex, made 17 points, in addition to 20 previously obtained; Mr. Simpkins, 10, which in addition to those Previously obtained made 33; and Captain Gee, 55th Lancashire, made a gross total of 32 points. The band of the Victoria Rifles, who have ob tained such general approbation, will, by permis sion of the commanding officer, attend on the ground to-morrow (this day), and will play from half-past two o'clock until eight o'clock. The other prizes to be determined were, Lord Vernon's prize, shot for at 500 yards; the Oaks, shot for at 200, 500, and 600 yards ; the All Corners' Prize at 200, 500, and 600 yards; the Association Cup, at 200, 500, and 600 yards; Extra Prizes, 2d series; the Running Deer, Pool, and sighting Targets, &c. After luncheon the shooting for the Queen's:Prize was resumed with increased interest. The brunt of the business, in addition to those above named, rested on Mr. Pixley, Victorias ; Mr,Fergusson, of the Ist Inverness ; and Mr. Norfolk, 13th Suffolk. After a splendid contest the palm of victory was awarded to Pixley, of the Ist Middlesex, he having made a bull's eye at his last shot. Mr. Pixley thus becomes the fortunate competitor for the Queen's Prize and the gold medal of the Association. As soon as the result was made known it was received with the loudest cheering, and as the news was passed from one to another throughout the camp there was but one opinion expressed, and that was of satisfaction and congratuiation that this splendid prize should be again won by a member of a metro• politan corps. As soon as the intelligence was communicated to the Victoria corps, encamped, there was a general rush en masse to the shooting point. Mr. Pixley was seized by his comrades, mounted on their shoulders, and carried to their quarters amidst loud cheering. The following is the official list of the shooting at the differen t ranges : EIGHT HUNDRED YARDS. PM. MS - -- a Walton, 17th West York 0 2 0 0 1 1 0 4.• ° Dougan, 26th.

LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES AMENDMENT BILL. Lord CHELMSFORD, in moving the second reading of this bill. He explained that its objects was to relieve Sir Thomas Wilson, the owner of Hampstead Heath, from the restrictions under which he lay as a tenant for life only, and which in any case would have been granted as a matter of course. He denied that Sir Thomas Wilson had any intention of enclosing or building on the heath, he only wished to convert the adjacent ground into building property, which he considered he had been most unfairly debarred from doing. Lord CRANWORTH was an earnest advocate for the preservation of Hampstead Heath, but supported the bill, believing that it would not have the effect which was an ticipated from it. The Earl of MALMESBURY also supported the bill as a measure of justice to an individual. Lord EBURY opposed the bill. The debate was continued by the LORD CHANCELLOR and the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, and ultimately the bill was read a second time. The Sale of spirits Bill passed through committee. The Police and Improvement (Scotland) Bill was read t second time, Earl RUSSELL moved the second reading of the African Slave Trade Treaty Bill, the object of which is to enable the Queen to carry out the treaty recently concluded with the United States, and under which English cruisers are empowered, within certain limits, to search ships bearing the American flag, and suspected of being engaged in the slave trade. The noble lord took the opportunity of alluding in eulogistic terms to the conduct of the American Government, and the spirit which had prompted them to agree to that treaty, and thus remove the stigma which had hitherto attached to the national flag. The Earl of DERBY cordially approved of the treaty, but feared it would not be so effective as the noble lord seemed to anticipate, unless a similar convention was entered into with France and other powers to prevent the use of their respective flags in the nefarious traffic. The bill was read a second time. The Queen's Prison Discontinuance (1862) Bill, and the Crown Private Estates Bill were read a third time and passed; and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Birkenhead Railway— Bristol and South Wales Union Railway—Cheadle Roads —Horsham, Dorking, and Leatherhead Railway—Metro politan and Thames Valley Railway—Mid Kent and Ad discombe Railway—and North-Eastern Railway (Team Valley Extension) Bills, were considered and agreed to, and the bills were ordered to be read a third time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented from different parts of the United Kingdom against the Burials Bill, which stands on the order of the day for committee at the evening sitting, and the Roman Catholic Prisoners Bill. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENTS BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at clause 7, which, after some conversation, was agreed to. On clause 8, Some discussion took place as to whether a quorum of three members on a committee of board of guardians would be sufficient to discharge efficiently the duties delegated to them as the administrators of the poor-law. Mr. VILLIERS said he would consent to the introduc tion of words to the effect that the number of members con stituting a committee should not be less than one-third of the members of such committee. The clause with this amendment was agreed to. On clause 9, Mr. A. TURNER, said that he considered this clause most objectionable, as it gave the board of guardians unli mited power in the appointment of any number of surveyors, and opened the door to great extravagance. He concluded by moving the omission of the clause. Sir L. PALK opposed the clause. If it was intended to secure an uniform and accurate valuation of parishes it should be effected by some well considered measure. He would support the amendment. Mr. BRUCE considered this objection applied to clause 14, instead of the present clause. Mr. BARROW said he felt bound to support the clause, because the guardians being ratepayers would necessarily attend to their own interests. Lord HENLEY opposed the clause on the same ground as the hon. member the mover of the amendment, as tend ing towards the increase of the parochial expenditure. After some conversation, in the course of which Mr. VILLIERS said he would consent to such a modification in the clause as would meet the views of the hon. members who objected to it, and on that condition the amendment was withdrawn. The clause, with the modification proposed, was then agreed to. On clause 10, which related to the keeping of the minutes of the committees of the boards of guardians, _ Mr. HENLEY considered that there should be words introduced in the bill so as to make the chairman of the committee responsible for the signing of these minutes, in stead of the quorum, which tended to divide the respon sibility. Mr. VILLIERS said that there were no such words in the present Poor-law Act, but be consented to an alteration in the words of the clause, observing that all that the framers of the bill required was to secure a correct record of the proceedings. Some discussion took place as to whether the penalty of £5, which was imposed on the clerk of the board of guar dians for not giving a copy of the minutes when required, but the clause was agreed to. On clause 11, Sir L. PALK said he objected to the clause, because made a valuation of parishes compulsory instead of being voluntary. Mr. VILLIERS said that the object of the clause was merely to obtain a correct account of the proceedings of the different assessment committees. w. The clause, with some alterations, was agreed to. On clause 12, which gave the asseosment committee the power to impose penalties on Poor-law Guardians, which would have the effect of substituting paid officials for the discharge of duties now discharged by officials who were unpaid. Mr. VILLIERS consented to some amendments, and the clause was agreed to. A long discussion took place on clause 13, which had reference to the present mode of valuation, and some verbal amendments were agreed to ; after which the chairman was ordered to report progress. The house suspended at five minutes to four o'clock, and resumed at six o'clock. KINGDOM OF ITALY. In reply to Mr. MAGUIRE, Lord PALMERSTON said that her Majesty's Govern ment had received information from our ambassador in St. Petersburgh to the effect that the Russian Government had come to the determination to recognise the independence of the kingdom of Italy, and that a messenger had been sent off to communicate that decision to the Italian Government. There was also mason to believe that the Government of Prussia intended to follow the example of Russia. NAVAL AND MILITARY TRAINING IN SCHOOLS. Lord ELCHO moved the following resolution :—" That the physical, moral, and economical advantages arising from a system of physical training had been clearly shown in evidence before the Royal Education Commission; and that it was expedient, for the increase of the bodily as well as the mental aptitudes of children for civil, industrial, as well as possible military service, that encouragement and aid should b e given for the extension o f the practi ce o f sys • tematised gymnastic training naval drill as now practised in' and for teaching military and the district half - time schools for orphan and destitute children, and in other schools for pauper children." The noble lord mentioned the interest ing and important fact th a t b o y s so t r ained in pauper schools in the neighbourhood of London proved themaelvee CHINA. Mr. WHITE proposed, " That in the opinion of this house her Majesty's Ministers should direct the British authorities and commanders of her Majesty's naval and Military forces in China to avoid any intervention beyond that absolutely necessary for the defence of those British subjects who abstained from all interference in the civil war now raging in that country." The hon. member condemned the policy of the Government hi entering into an offensive and defensive alliance with the Mantchu dynasty against the Taepings, and pointed out as one consequence of that policy that we thereby took upon ourselves the defence and protection of 16 ports on the China seaboard, ranging over 20 deg; of latitude and 12 deg. of longitude, He also ex pressed his regret that we were co-operating with the FTench in that part of the world ; for their ways wera not our ways ; neither were their interests our interests. As General Montauban had declared in the French Senate, they had no sympathy whatever with us, they were in China only to defend religion and la gloire. So far as the conflict between the Imperialists and Taepings were con cerned, he understood that it was the earnest desire of the latter to come to terms, and that they had such respect for the British power that our Government had cnly to will it in order to its being done. The motion was seconded by Sir L. PALK, who urged that the true policy of this country in China was one of strict neutrality, and that we had nothing to do with the quarrels of the Imperialists and the Taepings, or with pre serving the empire of theMantchus or supporting the rebels. Our sole concern was with the ports which were opened to our trade, and our only duty to afford prot ec ti on f or o ur commerce. Mr. GREG SON believed that the measures adopted by her Majesty's Government iu reference to China affairs were dictated by the single desire to protect British in terests in that quarter. After speeches from Mr. KINNAIRD and. Colonel SYKES, the latter of whom reiterated his oft-expressed opinions in favour of the Taepings, Mr. LAYARD said that the whole question at issue turned upon the character of the Taepings, and, according to the best information in his possession, they were a set of ruthless marauders. They were not a national party—they had no " programme"—and from beginning to end they had maintained the same bad repute. As to the Chinese people, there was no doubt they had been greatly brutalised by the rebellion ; but for the cruelties committed by them the Imperial authorities were responsible. On the other hand, no one was responsible for the atrocities of the Tae pings; and wherever we had appeared the whole popula tion had flocked to our standard and begged our protection. The Imperial Government represented the principle of order, the Taepings the principle of disorder ; and the policy we had adopted was to defend our own subjects and our own interests, and to give the Imperial Government our moral support, our sympathy and advice. All the material assistance that we had given them was to defend and pro tect the treaty ports; but whilst doing our best to prevent them falling into the bands of the rebels, the Imperial Go vernment had been plainly told that they must not look to us for further support. Tt was a treaty °Mk:alien upon us to co- operate with the Ch'nese Government in putting down piracy in the China seas; and seeing that if the Taepings entered Shanghae, the coast would at once swarm with pirates, her Majesty's Government had sanctioned the employment by the Imperial Government of British naval officers in Chinese vessels manned by native crews. Mr. COBDEN said that the fallacy which ran through the Under Secretary's speech was his speaking of the Chinese Government, when there was really no such Go vernment in existence. The destruction of that Govern ment was, in his opinion, clearly traceable to the last two wars in which England and France had engaged against China. Previously to that the Government at Pekin was considered invincible, but the allies had overcome that power by military force, and had thus destroyed the prestige of the native Government in the minds of the people. Mr. Layard had talked of giving advice to the Imperial Government relative to the management of their finances ; but if this policy were persisted in much longer we ourselves should want some shrewd Dutchman or Swiss to look after our finances. Having established English men as merchants in China we were bound to protect their lives and property; but it would behove a wise nation not to seek to establish British merchants in positions where their establishment was not likely to tend to national ad• vantage. He, for his part, would withdraw from as many of the treaty ports as were found not to be necessary, and concentrate our trade in two or three places only, in order to have as little to protect as possible. Lord PALMERSTON vindicated the Chinese policy of the Government, which ho argued was calculated with out any interference beyond what was necessary for the protection or the places where our merchants were estab lished, to assist the Chinese Government in restoring order and law: in China, and was, therefore, eminently condu cive to the promotion of our commercial interests in that country. Mr. WHITESIDE remarked that whilst the noble viscount was vindicating his present policy in China he seemed to have forgotten that every word he spoke was a censure of the past. That policy was, in fact, neither more nor less than that law and order were to be restored in China by the Government of Great Britain. Mr. WHITE having briefly replied, Mr. WALPOLE said that not being in possession of all the information which was in the hands of the Govern ment he felt bound to give a negative to the motion, but he protested agatnst the doctrine enunciated by the noble viscount and the Under Secretary that we were justified in taking part in a civil war with the view of restoring law and order in China. Lord J. MANNERS declared that for the reasons which Mr. Walpole had urged for voting against the motion he should give it his support. Upon a division, the motion was negatived by 197 to 88. KERTOH PRIZE MONEY. Sir J. HAY moved that it was inexpedient that judgment should be any longer delayed on the amount of prize money duo to her Majesty's land and sea forces employed in the capture of Kertch and Yenikale in May, 1854, as it was calculated to injure the confidence of the soldiers, seamen, and marines in the good faith of her Majesty's Government in matters of prize. Colonel NORTH seconded the motion. Lord PALMERSTON said that nothing was further from the wish of her M a j est y 's Govern ment than to inter pose unnecessary delay in the distrib ut i on of the prize money which our sailors and soldiers had earned ; but th - e Parlia ques tion referred to was com p licate d by Acts of ment and legal and international considerations. These matters had been referred to the law officers of the Crown for their opinion ; and until that was received it was impos sible to say who were the parties entitled. After a few words fro m Admiral w LCOTT, Mr. HENLEY said he had read the papers upon the subject, and the only conclusion to which be was able to come was that whilst one department of the Government admitted the claim another had endeavoured to shuffle out of it. Discussion ensued, in which Mr. De e d os, L or d C . P age t , Sir C. Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Whit e side took part ; and ultimately th e mot i on was put and carried without a division. Leave was given to Mr. HEADLAM to bring in a bill for the more effectual recovery of poor rates, or other local rates and taxes. OR the motion of Sir M. PETO, the order for going into committee on the Burials Bill was discharged, and the bill withdrawn. The other business was then disposed of, and the house adjourned. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF THE HIGH SHERIFF OF L E ICESTERSIIIRE. — No trace of Mr. WiliStall• ley—whose disappearance wo have already recorded—has yet been discovered. It is feared that some fatal calamity has befallen him. It is stated that on quitting his hotel at Folkestone he left in h is carpetbag £6O, w hi c h h e h a d taken with him to meet his travelling expenses. This fact does not favour some of the early surmises that ho had left the country. Moreover, there appears to be no cause what ever for such a step, and several engagements he had made show that a few days before his disappearance he could not be contemplating such an event. Mr. Winstanley is the owner of estates of great extent and value, the heir to which is the soon of his sister, who at present resides in Australia* —Leeds Mercury. THE TOWN CHALLENGE CUP. Four Oars Oxford Staff Rowing Club Windsor Rowing Club . . Bray Royal George Club 0 The Oxford Crew—Messrs. G. Webb, C. Hutt, J. Chandler, and T. Buckett ; H. Renton, coxswain.

This was, after a short distance, a most hollow race. They started tolerably well, and then the winners left the others and came in a long way ahead. THE LADIES' CHALLENGE PLATE. Eight Oars. Oxford University College Boat Club 1 Eton College Boat Club . 0 The Oxford Crew—Messrs. G. Robertson, J. E. Parker, C. N. Gray, J. M. Collier, A. Makgill, A. E. Seymour, F. H. Kelly, and J. H.

Needham, cox swain. The winners were the favourites. Eton were on the Bergs side. They started evenly, and maintained a very capital race for half a mile, in the beginning of which Eton had a very trifling momentary lead, and thus held their opponents up to Fawley Court. After that the Oxford gradually drew their length clear, and so finished. Four Oars. THE STEWARDS' CHALLENGE Cur. Oxford Brazenose College Boat Club Cambridge Third Trinity Boat Club The Oxford Crew—Messrs. H. C. Harris, R. Sheppard, W. Champneys, and W. B. Woodgate ; C. J. Parkins, cox swain. The Cambridge Crew—Messrs. C. Orme, W. H. Wright, J. E. Hawkshaw, and J. G, Chambers ; T. K. Gaskell, coxswain. _ _ _ Oxford had the Berks shore, and up to starting before the rowing, were the favourites, but owing to Mr. Woodgate's exertions in the scullers' races, there were many disposed to back the Cambridge crew, who were certainly fresh. It was good race, the winners not having more at first than a very slight lead, and so tightly did the Cambridge men hold them that the Oxford men had gone half a mile before they had pulled their boat away. They continued to lead, their oppo nents rowing with much spirit, and the race was won by two lengths. RACE WITH PICKED FOUR OARS LONDON WATERMEN. George Hammerton's Crew Henry Kelly's Crew The First Crew.—Thomas Mackinney, Richmond; Walter Bell, g Richmond; n ; George Tagg, Molesey ; George Hammer toe, Mr. Clutterbuck, Oxford coxswain. to The Second Crew. Joseph Wise Kew; William Pocock, Lambeth ; John Mackinney, Richmond ; Henry Kelly, Fulham ; Mr. B. Glaister, Oxford coxswain. The start was good, as was the pace throughout. The winners took a slight load, and kept it to the end, winning by a clear length. TILE VISITORS' CHALLENGE CUP. Four Oars. Oxford Brasenose Challenge Boat Club Cambridge Third Trinity Boat Club 0 The crews are above given, but Mr. Parry steered the Oxford, in lieu of Mr. Parkins. It was a repetition of the Stewards' Challenge Cup. They started together, and shortly afterwards the winners drew gradually in advance, and won by two clear lengths. The Cambridge men had a fresh boat in this race. THE WAYFOLD CHALLENGE CUP. Four Oars, London Rowing Club West London Rowing Club 0 London Club Crew.—Messrs. H. Hood, P. Grubb, F. Former, and W. Stout; E. Weston, coxswain. West London Ciew.—Messrs. E. Nash, F. J. Tyler, F. W. Bryant, and J. Niblett; R. Niblett, coxswain. The West London had the Berks side, but there were very few who speculated upon them, although large odds were offered. They went away together, and for a couple of minutes the West London held their opponents, but after that, although they deserve great credit for their efforts, their opponents were too much for them, and won easily. THE SILVER GOBLETS. Pair Oars. Oxford, Champneys and Woodgate Cambridge, Hawkshaw and Chambers .. 0 It was a dashing race all through. The Cambridge men had the Berks place, and when they went away the pace was even and good. They pulled evenly for a minute or two, and then the Oxford pair made a dash in front well clear; but their opponents put on a fine spurt, and at half way overlapped them, and right to the finish it was a most determined race, only won by a length. There were a great many patrons of acquatic sports to be Pre' sent, and amongst them Earl Kilmorey. It is ouch regretted that the races this time have been rowed that so lathite s , it is prejudicial to the regatta ; but we un derstand will be avoided for the future. Lord Camoys presented the prizes. --- PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. The members of this club concluded their season yester day with a most exciting match.

It will be observed that, in examining plants of pampas grass, some have much moregraceful forms than others, and these produce their flower panicles quickly, and invariably bring them to perfection. On the other hand, the more robust and least grace ful plants throw up their panicles more slowly, and occasionally the autumn frosts overtake them, and they are entirely destroyed while yet undeveloped. A botanical examination of the flowers of the two kinds of Pampas grass explains the meaning of ; the difference observable. The plant is Diceceous ; ' that is, the sexes are separated : the male and female flowers are borne on different plants. In the flowers of the most graceful form, there are no stamens—it is the female ; the other produces stamens—it is the male. The distin tion is of the utmost for importance to cultivators, it is the female plant which produces t he m o s t beautiful effect as a garden decoration, and 16 the most certain to perfect its blossom bef ore the frosts of autumn begin their work of destr o f dis- It is obvious, moreover, that some desirable, ene tinguishing them in a young state i s as in selecting plants the prudent gard ener the other give the preference to females, leaving judges - of such mat r would for people who are not good we may say that ters.
