From the long interval which has elapsed since the last contest, no aquatic event has caused such intense interest among the higher classes as the race which was rowed yesterday between the colleges of Eton and Westminster from Putney to Chiswick. Mr. Chitty, of Exeter College, Oxford, acted as umpire. Owing to the mnfavourable state of the weather, the attendance was not very large. The following were the crews : • ETON.—H. Garnet, 9st 131 b; Lord Borington, 9st 101 b; R. Kinglake, lOst 31b ; E. H. Wynne, lOst 81b ; R. E. L. Burton, llst 61b ; H. B. Rhodes lOst 101 b ; C. B. Lawes, 9st 71b ; R. H. B. Humfrey, lOst 51b.

Wright, 10st 21b; J. Forster, 9st; J. O. Yates (cox), Get 81b. A good start having been effected, the Eton crew soon began to go ahead, and the race from the commencement never was in doubt, as the Etonians kept the lead, and won easily by eight or nine boat lengths. Mr. Searle, as usual, provided accommodation on board his steamer for the representatives of the press. PROVISION FOR SCARCITY.—In such a year as this the landlords ought to provide for a free sale of their rabbits. Every year the rabbits do the farmers more mis • chief than almost any amount of bad weather; and every year gamekeepers are understood to make two, three, or four hundred pounds each by the sale of this particular perquisite. We may believe this from the fact of one land owner having sold 40,000 rabbits in one year after taking a farm into his own hands—his tenant having thrown it up on account of the rabbits. The farmers ought, in suchtiraes as these, to u se freel y the right of taking Ole rabbits wherever they have not foolishly parted with that right. There ought to bo a sweep of the rabbits, whatever the gamekeepers may say, both for the sake of present food and next year's crops. It will be obj ec t e d th a t th er e is no getting at the creatures when they choose to hide. Well; let us have all that can be got at. We know that one gentleman got at 40,000 in one year. Let us see how many more may b e obtained by early watching in the mornings, and by all known methods.—Once a Week. SPORTL BRIGHTON RACE CLUB.-FRIDAY.

The friends, or rather those who speculated in the rival champions, mismanaged the whole concern from first to last, and the ridiculous Yankee fancy of reciprocal presentations of sham cham pions' belts (for although of equal value they represented nothing but the empty-headedness of those who called them into existence) has ended in a bottle of smoke, and the oft presented belts are destined to grace the studio of Mr. Morris, as a memento of the failure of his presentation speculation. Bell's Life makes the following remarks on the subject : In Wilkes's Spirit of the Times, announcing the return of John C. Heenan to America, we find several statements by the editor, which we cannot but fancy are deliberately intended to mislead the American fancy. In the first place he grumbles that Heenan was permitted to go from our shores without a belt, and secondly without the English testimonials which he had been offered. On these points we have only to say, firstly, that, if Heenan did not get his belt, Sayers was in no better predicament. Mr. Wilkes knows as well as we do, if not better (for the suggestion was his own), that the arrangement between Sayers and Heenan was, that if Sayers would raise a subscription among his friends to present Heenan with a belt, Heenan would per form a similar office for Sayers. This arrangement was not carried out strictly, for the following reasons :—Directly it became known to certain gentle men connected with an American circus that the men had amicably settled their differences, an applica tion was made by them to Sayers and Heenan to enter into an engagement with them at £250 a week each to appear at the Alhambra and elsewhere with their new belts. An application was made to us to get the belts made at once, and, thanks to the exertions of Mr. Hancock, they were manufactured with marvellous rapidity. They were presented, as our readers know, at the Alhambra ; but Sayers and Heenan not having raised sufficient to pay for them, Mr. Morris, one of the speculators, advanced the balance for that purpose. The public, finding the belts had been presented, naturally concluded that the subscriptions had been made up, and no more money was forthcoming on either side. Mr. Morris retained the belts in his own pos session, and as Heenan and Sayers both refused to carry out their engagement by paying the difference themselves, why the belts still remain with Morris. Secondly, as to the testimonials, Heenan's own letters, which were pub lished in this country, proved that he refused to accept them when offered, and besides this he insisted on going home when he did, refusing liberal offers in this country, ' which would have insured him silver compliments, as Mr. Wilkes styles them, of almost equal value with those of Sayers. Mr. Wilkes goes on to abuse the English people because Heenan was not allowed to strangle Sayers on the ropes, and uses ad captandem arguments to prove that Heenan fairly won the fight, which may go down with those for whom he writes in his own country, but which every impartial man who saw the battle will regard with contempt. It is not our intention to go further into the matter, and we should not have made the above remarks had we not deemed the statement in the Spirit too bare faced to be passed over. Our belief is patent to the world, and nothing will induce us to deviate from it, that at the finish of the fight at Farnborough, had the ring not been broken into, Sayers would have proved the victor, as, had the referee not been forced from the ring side during the 37th round he would, according to the rules of the ring, have ordered the men to be separated when on the ropes when it was seen that Sayers was in danger. That Heenan afterwards struck Sayers f9ul is well known, as is the fact that that worthy a few minutes after the battle was quite blind, notwithstanding the certificate of Dr. (?) Rawlings to the contrary. As to the severity of the punishment on either side, the fact of Heenan's not being able to make his appearance for a week speaks Tehimese TH. (From the Gazette of last evening.) WAR-OFFICE, August 3.—The Queen has been gra ciously pleased to signify her intention to senfer the deco ration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officers of her Majesty's Indian forces, whose claims to the same have bon submitted for her Majesty's approval, in consi deration of their gallantry and distinguished conduct during the operations of the expeditionary force in Persia, in 1856.57, as recorded against their several names, viz.:- 20th Bombay Native Infantry—Captain John Augustus Wood. On the 9th December, 1856, Captain Wood led the grenadier company, which formed the head of the assault ' column sent against Bushire. He was the first man on the parapet of the fort, where he was instantly attacked by a large number of the garrison, who suddenly sprang on him from a trench cut in the parapet itself. These men fired a volley at Captain Wood and the head of the storming party, when only a yard or two distant from that officer ; bat although Captain Wood was struck by no less than seven musket balls, he at once threw himself upon the enemy, passed his sword through the body of their leader, and being closely followed by the men of his company, speedily over same all opposition, and established himself in the place. Capt. Wood's decision, energy, and determined valour un doubtedly contributed in a high degree to the success of the attack. His wounds compelled him to leave the force for a time ; but with the true spirit of a good soldier he rejoined his regiment, and returned to his duty at Bushire, before the wounds were properly healed. 3d Bombay Light Cavalry—Lieutenant and Adjutant Arthur Thomas Moore, and Lieutenant John Grant Mal colmson. On the occasion of an attack on the enemy on the Bth of February, 1857, led by Lieut.-Colonel Forbes, C.B. , Lieut. Moore, the adjutant of the regiment, w as , p er h aps , the first of all by a horse's length. His horse leap e d i n tO the square and instantly fell dead, crushing down his rider, and breaking his sword as he fell amid the broken ranks of the enemy. Lieut. Moore speedily extricated himself, and attempted with his broken sword to force his way through the press ; but he would assuredly have lost his life had not the gallant young Lieut. Malcolmson, observing his peril, fought his way to his dismounted comrade through a crowd of enemies to his rescue, and, giving him his stirrup, safely carried him through everything out of the throng. The thoughtfulness for others, cool determination, devoted courage, and ready activity shown in extreme danger by this young officer, Lieut. Mdcolmson, appear to have been most admirable, and to be worthy of the highest honour. Her Majesty has also been graciously pleased to signify her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned seaman of the royal navy, whose claim to the same has been submitted for her Majesty's ap proval, in consideration of an act of bravery which he per formed in the recent operations against rebel natives in New Zealand, as recorded against his name, viz. : William Odgers, leading seaman, of her Majesty's ship Niger. On the 28th of March, 1860, William Odgers dis played conspicuous gallantry, at the storming of a Pah during operations against rebel natives in New Zealand : having been the first to enter it under a heavy fire, and having assisted in hauling down the enemy's colours. DESPA2'CRES FROM NEW ZEALAND. (Rom the Gazette of last Evening.) ADMIRALTY, AUG. 1. Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty from Commodore William Loring, C. 8., Senior Officer of her Majesty's ships and vessels on the Australian Station : Her Majesty's ship Iris, Auckland, April 27, 1860. Sir,—l have the honour to forward, for the information of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, copies of reports which I have received from Captain Cracroft, of her Majesty's ship Niger, relative to the proceedings of a part of her crew employed on shore at Taranaki, at the requisi tion of his Excellency the Governor of New Zealand. The capture of the Pah, as described in his letter No. 10, was, on the part of Captain Cracroft, his fficers, and men, a most dashing and judiciously timed affair. His Excellency Colonel Gore Browne informs me that it was most opportune. The death of several of the most troublesome of the Taranaki Chiefs, and of a considerable number of their followers, served not only to damp the ar dour of the rebellious tribes, but also to avenge some cold blooded murders which these very people had committed only a few days previously. And it is now known that, under God's providence, this success was also the means of saving the lives of a detach ment of the Colonial Volunteers whom the Maories had beleaguered in a neighbouring house, and whose ammuni tion was almost expended. Captain Cracroft has not mention( d his own personal share in the affair, but I learn that his coolness on that and on other occasions was most conspicuous, and that he did not undertake this very hazardous service in a spirit of headstrong gallantry, but from a 'deliberate conviction that it was necessary that the attempt should be made, and therefore it was done, and done most successfully. Under these circumstances I trust that their Lordships will authorise me, in accordance with the recrust of Cap tain Cracroft, in his letter No. 11, to decorate William Odgers, leading seaman, with the Victoria Cross. These Maori natives are by no means a contemptible foe,—man to man they are equal to ourselves ; and in the storming of the Pah it could only have been by eager and determined gallantry that success could have been attained, I also beg to call their Lordships' attention to his letter No. 12, enclosing a letter from the Colonel in command of the troops in another part of the field, and also a letter from Colonel Gold, Commanding-in .Chief. Lieutenant W. H. Blake's conduct, as Senior Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Niger, has been uniformly correct and efficient, and whilst on shore, in command of fifty-five seamen, he has shown himself a gallant leader. I much regret to state that his wound is of a serious na ture ; and Ibem very respectfully and strongly to recom mend him to the notice of their Lordships as an officer whose conduct has rendered him worthy of promotion.—l have, &c., WILLIAM LORING, Commodore. To the Secretary of the Admiralty. Her Majesty's ship Niger, Taranaki, New Zealand, March 31, 18601 Sir,—At 1 p.m., on the 28th instant, I received the en closed requisition from Colonel Gold; you are aware through my letter of proceedings, No. 8, that 55 men be longing to this ship, under the commandof the first Lieute nant, were already landed to assist in the defence of the town, but as the case appeared urgent and the weather was fine, I did not hesitate in complying with it, and landed at 2 p.m., with the force detailed in the margin.* 2. We had scarcely taken up a position pointed out to me by Colonel Gold, when intelligence arrived that Colonel Murray was hard pressed by the natives and short of am munition, and Colonel Gold requested me to advance to his support. I therefore proceeded to the Ornate Blockhouse, about four miles on the great South-road, from whence I was enabled to obtain a good view of the country, and of a Pah constructed on the crown of a hill, about a mile beyoncii which displayed flags, and from which a continued fire of musketry was kept up upon Colonel Murray's force on my right; here I found Lieutenant Blake, first Lieutenant of the Niger, just brought in dangerously wounded by a ball through the breast. 3. I immediately sent Mr. IV. H. Hyde, Assistant Pay • master, doing duty as my aide-de-camp, to inform Colonel Murray of my arrival ; and as it was half-past five, and there was only half an hour's daylight left, I determined to attack this Pah at once. 4. Accordingly I planted the 24-pounder rocket tube about 700 yards from it, and, after a few discharges, the men stormed the Pah under a heavy ire, in the most gallant style —William Odgers, leading seaman, doing duty as my cox wain, being the first man in it ; and having captured the flags, and destroyed everything living in the trenches, as far as could be ascertained in the dark, I returned to the blockhouse. 5. In performing this service I am thankful to say that I had only four men wounded, which may be in some mea sure accounted for by the rapidity of the attack, taking the enemy completely by surprise, and giving no time for the usual Maori tactics ; while the increasing darkness also favoured our small force, and prevented a good aim being taken by their sharpshooters. 6. It was impossible for me to estimate the number op posed to us, nor could their exact loss be ascertained-16 dead were counted inside the entrenchment, 11 or 12 wore lying in the road outside ; but no doubt many of the wounded succeeded in crawling away unobserved. 7. After a short rest at the blockhouse I returned to town, placed the wounded in military hospitals, and re-embarked my men, as I did not consider the ship safe without them at this exposed anchorage. 8. I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of all engaged in this sharp and decisive affair, more e specially the conduct of William Odgers, leading seaman, to which I shall bring your more particular notice in another letter. 9. I beg to enclose the surgeon's report of casualties in the party landed.—l have, &c., (Signed) P. CRACROFT, Captain and Senior Officer in New Zealand. Commodore Wm. Loring, C. 8., Senior Officer. List of Casualties in the party from her Majesty's ship Niger, at the attack and capture of the Maori Pah, on the 28th March, 1860. Robert Glanville, captain foretop, severely wounded in the leg.

Sir,—With reference to paragraph No. 4 of my letter No. 10, 1860, 1 beg leave most respectfully to lay before you a statement of the conspicuous gallantry of William Odgers, leading seaman, upon the occasion of the capture of the Pah, in having been the first to enter it, in the face of the heavy fire opened upon us. He also assisted in hauling down the enemy's colours, in which act of daring, which was performed under my own eye, three other men equally participated, viz : Robert Glanville, captain foretop, William Older, A. 8., and Wil liam Clarke, supernumerary marine, belonging to the Iris carrying your broad pendant. And I should wish to submit for your consideration, whether all these men are entitled equally with William Odgers to the decoration of the Victoria Cross, and if not, then I should beg leave to recommend William Odgers for it, as being the most deserving, for the reason first men tioned. It would be proper to add that Robert Glanville and Wm. Clarke were both severely wounded in the Pah.--I have, &c., (Signed) P. CRACROFT, Captain and Senior Officer in New Zealand. Commodore Wm. Loring, C. 8., Senior officer.. (Copy.) Her Majesty's ship Niger, Taranaki, March 31, 1860. Sir,—Referring to my letter No. 10 of this day, reporting the service upon which Lieutenant W. H. Blake, senior lieutenant in charge of a detachment of seamen and ma rines, had been employed with the force under the com mand of Lieutenant Colonel Murray, 65th Regiment-- I have now the honour to enclose a letter and its en closure, received from the Lieutenant -Colonel, expressing his high sense of the gallant conduct of Lieutenant Blake, at the action at Omata,,on the 20th inst, in which that officer was dangerously wounded, as also of the steady good conduct of the petty officers, seamen, and marines upon * Lieut. A. J. Villiers; Mr. W. W. Smyth, Acting Mate; Mr. S. Gassiot, Midshipman; Mr. W. C. Karslake, Midshipman; Dr. W. Patrick, Surgeon; Mr. W. Hyde, Assistan t Paymaster. Officers, 7 ; seamen, 43 ; marines, 10; total, 60, with a 24-pounder rocket tube. this occasion, under Mr. C. B. Theobald, midshipman, upon whom the command had devolved. In requesting you to bring the gallant conduct of Lieut. Blake'to the favourable notice of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, I beg to recommend him to their lord ships as a most zealous, active officer, who has always merited my entire confidence, and is well worthy of pro motion. The name of Lieutenant Blake has been before mentioned to their lordships in despatches, as being the Senior Lieu tenant present at the destruction of a formidable Chinese piratical stronghold and junks in March, 1859.—1 have, &c., (Signed) P. CRACROFT, Captain. Commodore, Loring, C. 8., &c. &c. (Copy.) New Plymouth, March 31, 1860. Sir,—l consider it due to you to express the high sense I entertain of the gallant services i endered by Lieutenant Blake, and the officers and men of her Majesty's ship Niger, who formed part of the force under my command employed against the rebel natives at the village of Omata, on the 28th inst. I was myself an eye-witness of the steadiness with which the gallant blue jackets advanced in skirmishing order over a difficult piece of country, compelling their opponents to retire before them ; and, from the information that has reached me since, their force told severely. I beg to add that it was with extreme regret that I be held their gallant leader taken to the rear dangerously wounded. My regret was the greater, from the feeling , - )f friendship I entertained for that officer, occasioned by the perfect cordiality which existed between us on all tit:ltters, of duty since ho has been attached to the garrison under my command. I beg further toinform you that the men of the Niger, when. ordered to retire, displayed the same steadiness under the, command of Mr. Theobald, who seemed to possess the cool ness of a veteran. I herewith enclose a return of casualties in the Naval Brigade.—l have, &c., (Signed) G. F. MURRAY, Brevet -Lieutenant-Colonel. Captain P. Cracroft, R.N., Commanding her Majesty's ship Niger. Lieutenant W. H. Blake, dangerous bullet wound in right breast. Thomss Millard, Royal Marines, shot through the head, since dead. (Copy)' Brigade-office, Taranaki, March 29, 1860. Colonel Gold, commanding the forces, wishes to express to Captain Cracroft, of her Majesty's ship Niger, senior naval officer on the station, Lieut.-Col, Murray, 65th Regiment, and Captain Brown, of the New Plymouth Militia, and the officers, non-commissioned officers, war rant and petty officers and men, who were engaged yester day with the enemy his high sense of the gallantry dis ' played, which led not only to the rapid destruction of a Pah, but also to a considerable loss on the part of the insurgents. The Colonel commanding will not fail to report most fa ' vourably to higher authority their distinguished valour and most active exertions.—By command, (Signed) JOHN PAUL, Captain 65th Regt., Acting Major of Brigade. In consideration of his services, as mentioned in these despatches, Lieutenant William Hans Blake has been pro moted to the rank of Commander, with Seniority, from 26th June, 1860. William Ogders has also been offered a warrant as a Gunner or Boatswain, provided ke be found competent. LENT MUTUAL LIFE ASSUR...4NCE COMPANY. The ordinary general meeting of the above company was held yesterday, at the Chief Office, Queen •street-place, Cheapside. Mr. King, chairman of the Board of Directors, presided. The routine business having been transacted, the manager, Mr. Preston, read the Directors' report, from. which we extract the following portion : " It is with much pleasure that the directors again meet the members, the more particularly as this is the tenth an niversary of the society, a period to which all interested in its welfare have looked forward with feelings more or less of hopefulness. It is, also, gratifying to th em t o b e able to report the continued prosperity of the society. During the year ending the 25th March last, the number of policies issued was 336, assuring £129,760, and producing. in new cash premiums £4,624 ss. The renewal premiums amounted to £21,274 15s. Bd., and the total income (in cluding a sum of £2,135 6s. 7d. received for interest, &c.) to £28,034 7s. 3d. Claims have arisen upon 31 paicies, amounting, with bonuses thereon, to £7,340 11s. 9d. • After payment of these claims and current expenses, the sum of £7,652 10s. Id. remained as a balance to be carried to the accumulated fund, which, with this e,ddition, now amounts to £42,548 3s. 7d. The Loan Reserve Fund has likewise been increased by the office fees received during the year, and amounts to £1,331 7s. These general results of the year's operations show a slight increase over 1858-59, in the new cash premiums ; an increase in the total premium income of £2,583 12s. Bd. ; and the income generally, of £3,164 15s. Bd. In the claims there has been a decrease of £423 12s. 2d. The policies now in force upon the books of the society number 1767, assuring the sum of £716,174 ; the full annual premium income thereon is L 26,529 3s. 10d. Your direc tors believe that, taking into consideration the many cir cumstances which still tend to retard the full development of life assurance, and which have been felt by all offices, more or less, during the past year, the present statement of the society's affairs cannot be regarded as other than satisfactory. Not only has an amount of new business been transacted superior to that of the previous year, but an important addition has been made to the income gene rally, whilst the claims have been less than in 1858.9. Since the last annual meeting the business of the Kent Mutual Fire Society has been discontinued. In connection with that society, a sum of £6,000 was due to this company for money advanced. In. respect of such debt, a bond of £4,000, bearing interest (recently in part paid off), given to the fire society by the Midland • Counties Insurance Company, as consideration for the good will of its business, has been transferred to this society. At the close of the fire business, and in deference to an ap peal from that society, your directors felt themselves morally bound to investigate the past joint expendi ture accounts of the two societies, with the view to their adjustment, should circumstances appear to call for it. This investigation necessarily extended from the period at which, arising out of the connections and influence of the fire society, the life was established, and has been brought down to within twelve months of the present time ; or, for a period of more than nine years. As a result, the direc tors feel bound to admit that, in their opinion, there is much justice in the claim made. In a few words the grounds may be stated. When this society was established in 1850, and for a considerable time after, the expenses wore mainly borne by the fire society. This continued until by the more rapid progress of the life business a nearer approach tolan equitable arrangement was attempted, and each society bore one-half of the joint disbursements; but even then the advantage was mainly on the side of this society, for whilst by such expenditure an equal measure of benefit was intended for each, it is abundantly clear that, by force of circumstances, in many important instances the life society was benefited by the outlay, but the fire not so. In the sums jointly paid from time to time for branch expenses and for appointing and visiting agents, this is particularly apparent. During the nine years the fire society's share of the joint expenditure amounted to a sum approaching £lO,OOO, most of which, if not all, must have been defrayed by this society, in addition to its own portion, had the fire business been discontinued at the origin of the life. Upon a most careful and anxious review of all the circumstances, and as giving effect to what they believed would be the feeling of the members, to promptly and liberally recognise any claim the fire society might have, founded upon principles of equity, your directors felt constrained to admit their con viction of the justice of the appeal, and taking all the cir cumstances into consideration, felt that the case would be met by remitting the sum of £2,000, as likewise the in terest and rent, then accruing, amountine. to £204 13s. ld. Having adopted this course, us that which appeared a tight and proper one, the board trust that it will meet with the concurrence of the members, and be equally deemed by then an act of justice to the fire society. During the year the vacancies which had occurred in the board by the resigna tion of Messrs. Saddington, Pittard, and Hawkins, have been filled up the election of Major-General Carmichael, C. 8., Leonard Philip Cox, Esq., and Nathaniel Eiger Towner, Esq., gentlemen of influence, and deeply interested in the welfare of the society, each being assured for a sum producing miums much in excess of the ordinary qua lification. Whilst it was a source of much regret to the board to lose the services of three such valued colleagues as Messrs. Saddington, Pittard, and Hawkins ; necessitated by advancing years in one case, de parture to a distant colony in another, and in the third, by the election to the board of a much older and more in fluential company; it is still a matter of satisfaction to them to have found amongst the members three gentlemen so well qualified to fill their places, and who cannot, the directors believe, be other than acceptable to the members generally. In addition to the con firmation of the election of these gentlemen on this occasion Messrs King, Murrell, and Russell retire by rotation from the office of director but being eligible for re-election offer themselves accordingly. In like manner Mr. Hood retires from the office of auditor, but being eli gible for re-election, offers himself accordingly. The audi tors have, as usual, minutely examined into the accounts and certified as to their accuracy. The business done during the time the society has been established, the direc tors believe will contrast favourably with the experience of the first ten years of most of the established companies, and that not only as respects the number of policies issued amount assured—and premiums represented thereby ; but in regard to the moderate cost at which the same has been obtained, bearing in mind that whilst, in the words of a celebrated authority on life assurance, " the mutual system is the only one which the public at large are concerned to support," yet no company is so difficult to found as one so constituted, and, there fore, in the very nature of things, involving in its early years a greater comparative outlay, than when firmly established, with its many realised advantages to practi cally recommend it to general public support." After various questions had been put to the chairman, and satisfactorily answered, the report was adopted unani mously. e proceedin ,ga and . a resolutio' a The retiring directors were re-elected; pledging the meeting to extend, the • as far as possible, the b e .. to the chairman. nefits of the society havinghbasisegreed to , terminated with a vote of t YORKSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.---The ex hibitionimplements and live stock commenced on, the'Wed- Show Yard, Lov e Lane, Potefract. was very numerous.
