Brickwood, of the London Rowing Club, won the Cham pionship of the Thames. This year Mr. W. B. Woodgate, of Brazenose College, Oxford, and Mr. G. R. Cox, of the London Rowing Club, resolved to contest the distinction with him. These two gentlemen, in compliance with the conditions of the match, contended yesterday to ascertain which should row against Mr. Brickwood on a future day for the championship. The distance was from Putney to Mortlake. Fewer persons were at the former place than might have been expected. Mr. Woodgate seemed to be the favourite. Mr. John Walmisley, winner of the sculls in 1847, having been appointed umpire, the competitors and the various gentlemen connected with the match rowed to their station at a quarter-past 4. Mr. Stephen Salter, the boatbuilder of Oxford, " coached" Mr. Wo , dgate, and was rowed by an eight composed of Oxford University men. Mr. H. Playford, in the London Rowing Club 12-oared boat, did the same duty for Mr. Cox. A distinct eight of the London Club men conveyed the umpire. The compe titors started very evenly, but at the second stroke Mr. Cox began to gain on his opponent. Such was his speed that he clear himself in 50 yards. At Finch's there were two, and at Point three clear lengths between him and his opponent. Perhaps at Craven Mr. Cox had added still more to his lead, but his exertions were evidently having their effect upon him. The long, dragging stroke of Mr. Woodgate began to tell—so much so that he had neared his opponent very considerably soon after Craven, and before they had reached the Crabtree had challenged and passed him. From this 1 point the race was virtually over; Mr. Woodgate continued 1 to increase his lead all the way and won easily by over 100 y ards. POSSESSIONS. Closing Paid.) P ride.

Pr ovided always that no pauper lunatics, when there are more than 10 in number, be kept in a workhouse except in a separate ward or detached building, and with distinct at tendance." Sir G. GREY said that in many cases there could be no facilities for carrying out such arrangements. The proviso was withdrawn and the clause agreed to. Some further progress was made in the bill, and at tour o'clock the sitting was suspended. At six o'clock the house resumed, and was LEFT SITTING. HOUSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY. DISTRESS IN THE WEST OF IRELAND. In reply to Mr. SouLLY, Sir G. GREY said that a careful inquiry had been made into the alleged distress in the West of Ireland, but the result was not considered sufficient to justify the making of a rate in aid on the counties adjoining the districts where the distress was stated to prevail. BLEACHING AND DYEING WORKS BILL. In reply to Lord J. MANNERS, Mr. M. GIBSON said that at this stage of the session he did not think this bill could be carried, and therefore he did not propose to proceed with it at present. JAMAICA LOAN (SETTLEMENT) BILL. Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in moving the second reading of the Jamaica Loan (Settlement) Bill, stated that it was for the purpose of settling by compromise a very old debt due by the colony, of the history of which he gave a short sketch, explaining the terms upon which it was proposed to remit the arrears of the debt. Mr. W. WILLIAMS opposed the bill, considering that the people of Jamaica were perfectly capable of paying the amount due, and moved to defer the second reading for three months. TI CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER reminded the house of the directs of imperial legislation, which had placed the colony in peculiar difficulties ; but while he felt strongly that Jamaica had a claim to consideration, he should have thought it his duty, he said, to stand out for more favourable terms for this country, but for the circum stance that the Governor of Jamaica, as the representative of the Crown, had made a proposal for the remission of the loan, which had been adopted by the Assembly in a bill. He therefore recommended the house to accept a compro mise that would insure the disappearance of the Governor's salary from the estimates. Sir H. WILLOUGHBT hoped the house would take warning from this transaction, and be cautious in future in lending money to colonies. Mr. CAVE explained the circumstances under which the payments in disch arge o f the loan fell i nto arrear, an d the difficulties encountered by the colony, observing that there was no chance of the present proceeding being drawn into a precedent. The discussion was continued by Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Scully, Sir M. Farquhar, and Alderman Sidney. The amendment was negatived, and the bill was read a second time. LUNACY REGISTRATION BILL. 1 the house then went into committee upon the Lunacy Regulation Bill. Mr. M. SMITH moved amendments of the 3d clause, with the view of excluding two restrictions, one limiting the inquiry in lunacy cases to two years from its date; the i other declaring that the opinion of any medical practi tioner shall not be admissible as evidence of the insanity of the party. 1 Atter much discussion the former amendment was nega- il tived upon a division by 86 to 50; the latter was carriedlby , 72 to 53. Other bills were f orwarded a stage, an d the house ad- i journed at a quarter to 3 o'clock. LONDON GAZETTE:—This Evening. 1 1 _ METROPOLITAN ROWING CLUB. FOREIGN -OFFICE.

It is there stipulated that the Government of her Britannic Majesty gives up the right which treaties have hitherto allowed to subjects of her Britannic Majesty to trade between the mouth of the river St. John and the bay and fort of Portendick, inclusive. It appears from information which has reached the French Government, that an English' vessel attempted, in the month of May last, to form c ommercial relations with the Moors, and to persuade the Sheikh of the Trazars to receive next year two English vessels which are to arrive for the purpose of est ablishin g One or tw o l an di ng places on the coast.

Crooks as Consul at Gi b raltar fo t the Free HanseaticCity of Haniburgh. JULY L. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Frederic Hamilton, Esq., now Scretary to her Majesty's CrTY EANK.-MEETING THIS DAY: A meeting took place to:day of the City Bank pro prietors, when the Directors' report, which was adopted, stated that the whole of the instalments upon the 2,000 new shares referred to in their last report, have been paid—that the other requirements of the bank's charter in respect of this issue have been fully complied with; and that, as soon as the certificate of the Board of Trade has been obtained, the directors will be able to announce that the subscribed capital of the bank has been increased to 8,000 shares of £lOO each, upon which £5O per share has been paid. The accounts showed that the profit realised by the bank during the six months ending the 30th June last, together with the sum brought forward from the previous half-year, enabled the directors to transfer £lO,OOO to the reserved fund, thereby increasing that fund to £70,000, and to declare the usual dividend at the rate of £6 per cent, per annum with a bonus of £1 per share, together equal to £lO per cent, for the year (free of income tax), also to carry forward the sum of £2,172 13s. 10d. to the new profit and loss account. The CHAIRMAN, in submitting the report fur the ap proval of the meeting, said that the certificate of the bank charter for the increase of capital had been received that morning. The bank had made very satisfactory and mate rial progress since its establishment. Every year the divi dend had been increased, such an increase as no other kindred establishment had been able to accomplish. From the first year, when the proprietors received 5 per cent., it had now been augmented to 10 per cent. The report was then unanimously adopted, and the direc tors and auditors re-elected. THE FIRE IN THE WESTMINSTER-ROAD. Yesterday morning Mr. T, Hodsoll, the surveyor of various fire insurance companies; 'Mr. C. White, of the County Fire-office; Mr. Hayes, of the Mer cantile ; Mr. Roberts, of the Royal ; Mr. Rose, of the Globe; and Mr. Woollett, with Mr. Blake, vestryman, of Lambeth, met upon the ruins of the premises destroyed by fire, belonging to Mtssrs. Goatley and Charley, the extensive floor-cloth makers or the Westminster-bridge-road, Lambeth, for the purpose of inquiring into the cause of the catastrophe and the amount of loss the various fire offices are interested in. As far as the first part of the inquiry was con cerned, nothing definite could be learned beyond the mere fact that the flames originated in the skittle-alley belonging to the San Tavern, in Mason-street. With respect to the actual amount of loss sustained by the various sufferers it is almost impossible to tell at present, but it must amount to a considerable sum, seeing that there are not fewer than 33 houses and large establishments either to tally destroyed or considerably damaged. Many of the inmates of the smaller houses have lost their all, and so have the workmen their tools, and they have been plunged into such a state of destitution that Mr. C. White, of the County Fire-office, Mr. Hill, printer, of the Westminster-road, with Mr. Watkins, of the parish of Lambeth, are forming a committee to collect subscriptions to alleviate the distress of the burnt out persons. From the calculations made yesterday it appears that the ground laid bare of the factory, and the backs of other houses in the intermediate streets, independent of those in the Westminster-bridge• road, is not less than 12,500 yards. At the King's Head Tavern, belonging to Mr. Midgley, it was found that the western wall had been built upon an ancient sewer, the covering or arch of which had in different places given way owing to the intense heat, and several parcels of oil-cloth had fallen into the water, and those portions upon which the tavern rested had also given way, and in order to prevent the building coming down a number of men were yes terday employed in shorirg up the walls. Mr. Beckerson, the s uperintendent of the L divi sion of police, had a powerful body of men kept on the spot to keep persons from venturing upon the still burning ruins, and it was exceedingly fortunate that that officer carried out the work in such an ad mirable manner, for all of a sudden one of Chubb's improved iron fire-proof safes fell red hot from the first floor, and owing to its great weight, had any oue been under the wall from which it toppled he must have been killed instantaneously. One very gratifying circumstance, as far as Messrs. Goatley and Chorley are concerned, is, that upon opening , the safe every book and voucher were found per fectly secure. A great many persons connected with the aristoft cracy came in their carriages yesterday for the pur pose of inspecting the ruins, but owing to the dan gerous state ‘ of the few remaining wails the police and firemen very properly refused them to enter the barrier put up in the Westminster-road, but a great ma ny availed themselves of the facilities afforded by passing through the Sun Tavern into the back pre- mises. The engines were still obliged to be kept on the snot for fear of a fresh outbreak. A YEAR'S WORK OF THE CITY POLICE. During the year, of which the full particulars are before us, fil;ing thirty-one large sheets, there were 4,209 persons ryaken into custody within the boundaries of the City. Of these, 3,012 were males, and 1,197 females, The largest number of these charged with Ole same species of offence occurs under the head of " larceny from the person without violence," 469 ; and the greatest propor tion of offenders in this c; ass were of the male sex, that is to say 379 males an d9O females. The next largest number was, for common assaults, 417; of which 365 were males and 52 females. We may say, then, that every day throughout the year one of the masculine sex, and once a-week throughout the year one of the feminine sex is charged before the police with some species of attack with no distinct object, beyond the gratification of enmity, resent ment of wrong, and to appease the passions engen dered in quarrel. The months of January, July, and August, furnish the greatest aunaber of case; but generally speaking, the summer months are slack times with the City police, the " rough" population being then mostly out of town. The next largest entry is that of charges of larceny com mitted in dwelling houses, 372 ; of which 265 were males and 107 females. Following the figures in the same descending order, we have 331 charged with drunkenness, of which 227 were males and 104 females; 311 disorderly conduct, comprising 117 males and 194 females. Here, for once, the gentler sex make the grandest figure; generally speaking, they show the smallest numbers nnder.the several heads, We have next , 302 offences against the City Police Act, 287 vag rants, 273 Common larceny, 230 suspicious c haracters, li a o bserve I assaults on the police. T he reader Will I that the relation of certain of these totals to rouping each other requires a differe.

RAILWAY AND' PUBLIC COMPANIES iN PARLIAMENT. Yesterday eight committees met for the despatch of business in the Lords. The first oar, on the bills of the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union, Nor folk, East Anglian, and other railways, was com posed of the following peers :—Lord Pozinian (chairmen), Viscount Dungannon, Earl of Carnar von, Earl Pomfret, and Marquis of Bath, assisted by Lord B.desdale, the chairman of committees. The first case considered Was that of the Eastern Union Railway Company,,for adj ust i ng an d de fraying their liabilities by raising a sum of £250,000 in new shares, with a five per cent pre ferential dividend. The committee decided that the company should have a bill giving them power to pay their existing debts, that they should be com pelled to pay off by instalments some portion of their existing liabilities out of their receipts appli cable to dividend on their ordinary shares, and re ceivable under the proposed amalgamation armnge ments, but the committee would not allow any larger claim to be made on the amalgamating com panies than the sum specified in the bill. The further consideration of the bill was then adjourned until the committee shall have dealt with the amal gamation measure upon which it has a collateral connection. The next case taken was that of the Eastern Countico Company for their Epping lines, which the committee passed, declining, however, to accede to an applicati , n on the part of the promoters to withdraw the money deposited as a guarantee for making the lines with the accountant of the Court of Chancery. The committee then proceeded with the conside ration of the main measure before them, the amalga mation bill of the Eastern Counties and other com panies. The bill, since it came from the committee in tie Commons, has been considerably altered and enlarged, and is a legislative curiosity in its way. It consists of 173 folio-foolscap printed pages, 21 of which are occupied merely in recital abstracts of the acts of parliament, forming the preamble_ Some 115 pages are filled with the sections and clauses, of which there are 304 alto gether, and 25 are devoted to schedules. Com mencing with the 6 and 7 of William IV., the pre amble recites that the Eastern Counties Railway Company have obtained 24 acts of parliament, the Norfolk 7, the East Suffolk, 7, the Eastern Union, 6, and the East Anglian 5 ; their present respective capitals being, Eas , ern Counties, £8,415,832 ; East Anglian, £1,600,000 ; Eastern Union, £1.748 341 • Norfolk, £1,458,860 ; East Suffolk, £604 348; New market Railway, £142,425; exclusive of each com pany's borrowing powers. Mr. Merewether, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Burke, and Mr. Round, in a long and able speech stated the case for the Eastern Counties, and stated that the objects sought to be obtained by the bill, that of a consolidation of the undertakings under the title of " The Great Eastern Railway," and an equitable fusion of the stocks, might have been arrived at long since, but for the reticence of the Eastern Union Company, and their refusal, until yesterday, t o render an account of their liabilities, until the present committee met and elicited from Mr. Ayres, the secretary of that com pany, the required account of their liabilities, with out which the committee of the Commons were totally unable to adjudicate on the questions in dis pute, which it would now be their lordships' duty to determine. After some general observations on the various provisions of the bill, the learned counsel concluded by calling the first witness, Mr. Crowder, firm of Crowder and Maynard, solicitors to the Eastern Counties Company, whose evidence occu pied the committee until their adjournment to this day. A committee consisting of the Earl of Romney, chairman ; Viscount Strathallan, Lord Saye and Seale. Lords Sondes and Truro, passed the bill of fae Great Western, Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester, and Ely Valley Railways, the opposition having been withdrawn ; and also that of the London and North Western Railway, for additional powers, with the exception of that part of the bill which relates to the making an embankment along and otherwise improving the old harbour of Holyhead, and con-- eernirg which the promoters propose to appeal to the Lords of the Admiralty. Tie bills of the Andover and Redbridge, Totten ham and Hampstead Junction, and North Eastern (Hull and Doncaster branch), having been referred for consideration to a committee consisting of the Lord Steward, chairman, Earl of Desart, Viscount Clancarty, Lord Somerhill, and Lord Raglan, they passed the two first bills, and Mr. Denison, Q.C. opened the case of the North Eastern, and calle evidence for the promoters. The Salford Improvement Bill wasunder the con sideration of a committee—formed of Earl Powis, chairman, Earl of Yarborough, Lord Fortescue, Lord Wynford, Lord \%Tenlock—all day, the case being conducted pro. and con. by Mr. Cripps and Mr. Coates. A committee, consisting of the Duke of Montrose, and Lords Harewood, Vane, Conyers, and Rivers, inquired into the merits of the Kent Coast Railway, and after hearing the evidence of Mr. Holroyd, the secretary, agreed to pass it. The opposition speech of Sir W. Alexander for the Edinburgh and Dunferm line, against the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bill, occu pied three hours in Lord Donoughmores committee. Further evidence for the promoters was taken by Lord Wodehouse's committee on the case of the West Riding, Hull, and Grimsby Railway, the par ties having come to an understanding in the case of the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, the bill was passed by the Duke of Richmond's committee, and the provisions with respect to the Middle Level Drainage and Navigation were finally settled in that committee. _ _ THE OFFICIALS OF THE LATE INSOL vENr DEBTORS COURT. Yesterday morning was issued the report of the select committee who were appointed to inquire into the case of the clerks and officers of the Insolvent Debtors, Court with reference to the New Bankruptcy Act. In the opinion of the committee, those salaried officers, for whom since the abolition of the court no employment has been found, should i eceive superannuation allowances as for abolished offices. They think that some provision ought to be made for the various officers who have lost the advantage of the receipt of fees, their present position being taken into account. Partly in accordance with this view, the committee have ar rived at the following among other conclusions :—" With reference to the persons named in schedule 1 (annexed), we are of opinion that their claims will be fully satisfied by their receiving salaries at the rate of their old and present provisional salaries ; on the understanding that such pay ments shall be permanent. With reference to the persons named in schedule 2 (annexed), we are of opinion that provision ought to be made for their receiving the follow ing sums, so long as they shall continue to be employed, viz., Mr.. W. H. Lamb, old salary, £3OO ; to be added, £sso—total, £B5O. Mr. W. Ingpen, old salary, £lOO ; to be added, £2so—total, £350. Mr. W, Notson, old salary, £l3O ;to be added, £6o—total, £l9O. Mr E. R.
