" Surely we have deep and lasting reason to congratulate ourselves on the great step thus made in the cause of religious education by the latex writers of instructive fiction, for it is a feature in the literature of the country of which we may justly be proud. 'Twenty Years in the Church' is emi nently a case in point. Nothing can be more manly, more genial, more feeling, or more Christian-like than the senti ments and principles which it evolves and upholds. They are such as make a people a nation, and retain them in their nationality. They are such as make all men neighbours, as Christ himself described a neighbour in the parable of the good Samaritan, and they contain in them the true germs of national greatness. We entreat our readers to lay them to heart. We hope that rich and poor alike will read this book and appreciate both the spirit and the object which have prompted its publication."—St. James's Chronicle, Aug. 13. L. Booth, 307, Regent-street, W. " On Thursday morning, last, Sergeant-Major Ferris, who had also been employed in watching the parties implicated in this affair, having reasm to believe they would visit the normal school during the day, to witness the model school examinations, accompanied by two or three persons, came with Mr. Cock, a cousin of Mrs. Cummings, who arrived here from-England not many days since ; the lat ter took the precaution to retire into a private room in the building, lest he might be seen by Hum phreys. But the sergeant-major took his station near the main entrance to the building, with a pho togiaphic likeness' of the rev, delinquent in his hand, and waited there till nearly three in the after noon, when he descried a personage answering the description in the likeness enter the ground: Dr. Humphreys, for it was he, walked into the build ing, and, having looked around a little, took his seat quite comfortably in the theatre, where the prizes were being distributed. Sergeant-Major Ferris then communicated with Mr. Cock and the other partiesin waiting, and two of them went forward into the' theatre at once, and served Humphreys with citations from the High Court of Divorce, England. Humphreys' dismay at this unexiketed turn of affairs may be more easily imagtn than described. There was nothing for it, however, but to submit; and .as soon as he recovered his equa namity, he left the building with the parties coming in search of him, and proceeded with them to his lodgings, Mutual-street, where he occu pi es t wo rooms. .• ere the lady was confronted with her paramour by• Mr: 'Cock, her relative, and was also served with a citation from . the English Divorce Court.

ROYAL THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA. FIRST DAY. Now ready, MILLICENT NEVILLE ; A Novel. By JULIA TILT, Author of " The Old Palace," "May Hamilton," &c. 2 vols. post Bvo., 21s. The great metropolitan annual contest under this title commenced yesterday, and will be concluded this day at half-past four. It had originally been intended to confine the regatta to one day, but a due regard to the engagements of some of the men in the principal race. induced the corn • inittee, afteFdue deliberation, to defer one grand heat, that of the Champion four-oared race, open to the world, which is the great feature of this meeting, and which brings to the London river the most proficient oarsmen from all parts of the kingdom. Exclusively as the great regatta at Henley-on-Thames is confined to the rowing of gentlemen 'amateurs, so is the Thames National to waterrneu ; and while the former has 'afforded an opportunity of developing the height of per fection in the science of rowing amongst the aristocracy, so has the lattOr encouraged the spirit of fair play and hon ourable emulation amongst the hard-working class to which the navy has been_mainly indebted for its best and bravest men. "Millicent's character is drawn with skill ; the tale also of her sufferings, and their purifying influence, is nicely told." —Examiner, Aug. 13. " This is avert' interesting story, and one which is grace fully described." -Sun, July 28. " There is a healthy tone about this story which is a relief to the reader of modern novels. . . .

By the Honourable LENA EDEN, Author of " Easton and its Inhabitants." One vol., post Bvo., 10s. 6d., THE QUEEN'S HOTEL, Queenstown.—Mr. ROBERT WILSON respectfully apprises tourists and families visiting this delightful watering-place, the air of which is famed throughout Europe, that the splendid esta blishment so well known as the " Queen's Hotel" has come, under his management. This hotel is one of the finest in the United Kingdom; and besides being furnished with all the ;uxuries and appliances of a First-class Hotel, It combines all the advantages of a beautiful situation, commanding charm ing views, the best attendance, ample accommodation either for families or single visitors, close contiguity to the steam boat pier, and the finest promenades of Queenstown, and a scale Of prices so moderate as to enable its visitors to enjoy all the advantages of 'a first-class hotel on the same terms they would have to pay in a minor one. From its open and healthful situatiod the Queen's Hotel is also peculiarly suit able for invalids, 30; 34s 32; 64 4 52s The weather was wet and threatening in the morning, but as the day advanced it became more cheering; still there was a great deal more wind out than suited light wager craft, and the labour of th e var i ous compet i tors was materiallyincreased in the early' races, while those were advantaged by it who rowed down on the ebb tide. The beautiful state-barge, the Maria Wood, had been engaged by the regatta committeee for the subscribers and their frienda, and had nearly 500 persons on board, in cluding a great many ladies, and Sir James Duke, who had, as before, kindly undertaken to give the prizes. The services of the Horse Guards Blue band had been retained for the occasion, and enlivened the intervals between the raceswith very excellent music. Throughout the whole distance from Putney to Hainmersmith-bridge there were thousands of eager spectators both afloat and ashore, and nothing could exceed the air of bustle and excitement which pervaded the whole scene; and while provision had been made in one re spect for the advantage of spectators, the committee had not been unmindful of it in another, Mr. Heath, of the Star and Garter, Putney, having been depitted to provide the dain tiest creatUre comforts for alien board.

They drove round the suburbs of the city for about an hour and a half, followed at a cautious distance by the ser geant-major, but ultimately returned to their pre sent lodgings, Mutual-street, without making any attempt to - escape. " Mr, Cock has, it is said, had several interviews with Mrs: Cummings, in order to induce her to return, to, her friends in.

Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON CONVICTION. The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY'S invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA GENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of A 5,000, from selling my article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

The following is the report of Major-General Hay as to the practice made by volunteers at the Mus ketry School at Hythe :—" I have the honour to forward, for the information of his Rval Highness the General Commanding-ie-Chief, the enclosed return of the results of the performance in shooting of the noblemen and gentlemen of the r ifl e volun teer corps, who havejust completed a course of in struction at this establishment, and to report, in re ference to the method pursued, that the morning was devoted to carrying out a detail of daily work, as per annexed statement, so modified as to meet the requirements of a volunteer company, the mem bers of which, it is presumed, will not be able to de vote more than two hours and a half daily to the musketry drill and practice. The desire, however, on the part of these volunteers to become fully tic• quainted with every detail connecte d w i th the sys tem and the method of work in g it was so g reat that the whole day was spent in acquiring this informa tion. Proficiency in the several practices being a always measured by a figure , I am enabled to draw comparison of the shooting of these volunteers with that of parties of officers (averaging from 40 to 45) in the last three courses. The result is in favour of the volunteers, the highest figure of the former being 46.94, of the latter 47.07 points. I have confined the comparison to the shooting of the officers, as from their superior intelligence they always (when subjected to the same amount of pre liminary drill) beat the men. When it is considered that these volunteers were composed of noblemen and gentlemen, most of whom had never fired with a rifle before, and not•any at a longer distance than about 200 or 300 yards, and when the short period of six days allotted to the performance of the pre liminary' drills is taken into account, it not only affords the most convincing proof of the energy and intelligence brought to bear on the work in which these volunteers were engaged, but at the same time it points clearly to the great benefit the country will derive from enlisting the services of the edu cated classes of the population in the movement which is now in progress for the enrolment of volunteers for rifle companies and corps. I do not hesitate to say that, if the training of these volun teers is regulated by a well detailed system, which will ensure a preliminary preparation before prac tice importantpersons whoreserve never e( tic() is allowed to tak e pl ace , i n a f ew years a most c n o t m er p t r h is e i ng' aas it w regulararmy but who, from their e d uca ti on an d i nte lli gence , are ll,oar militia, but of eminently qualified to make the very best ' marks men') will be at all times available, and afford a most valuable and permanent addition to our na tional defences. The interest taken by the noble men andt o gentlemen herein referred in the prac tice convinces me that rifle shooting, if properly con ducted, cannot fail to prove henceforth one of the most interesting of our national amusements, I feel it right to observe, however, that unless rifle train ing is conducted on a proper (and I would venture to recommend a uniform) system, utter failure will ensue. We shall have rifle corps in name , ,but not in reality." We hear that Mr. William Dougal Christie, who has been for some years Minister at the Argentine Confede ration, is appoint e d t o B raz i l, on the res i gnat i on of the Hon. Francis Reginald Forbes, who, our readers may recolleet, was transferred to that Embassy from Dresden by the late Government. We understand that Mr. Forbes does not return, to Dresden. On Tuesday last, the annual distribution of prizes to the children attending the various schools established by Frances Anne, Marchioness of Lon donderry, took place. Towards noon, the waggons ' from - Rainton,• Pensher, Old Durham, Pittington, and °tiltr of her ladyship's collieries, laden with joyous children, were seen approaching, and each, as it arrived, was emptied of its living cargo to swell the, number of those who were awaiting them, belonging to schools nearer home. A neigh bouring field was improvised into a playground, and, arranged in file, they awaited the arrival of her ladyship. The hedgerows, school, and every available spct were planted with flags, which gave a' very insp:riting appearance to the scene, and as _Lady Londonderry, accompanied by the Bishop of Durham, drove past, the children greeted her-with a universal burst of enthusiasm—a fitting welcome to one who has done and is doing so much for them. Arrived at the school-room Seaham colliery, - at one end of which a beautiful tri-colou:ed tent, 180 feet long by 40 feet broad, had been erected, and under which were tables to accommo date the whole of. the children, numbering upwards of 1,200, exclusive of those under six years of age. Her ladyship.. accompanied by the Bishop of Dur ham and Miss Longley, Sir Archibald and Lady Alison, Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest, M.P., the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Bourke and Mrs. Bourke, John Vandileur. Stewart, Esq., the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Gouch, George Wilkinson, Esq., Mrs. and Miss Wilkinson, the Rev. A. Bethune," the Rev. W. A. Scott, &e., took her set on a raised dais, and the children, commencing with those attending the Sea ham Harbour and Seaham colliery schools, were marched before her to receive their prizes and ex libit specimens of their workmanship. Lady Lon donderry having instituted a competitive examina tion among those boys and girls who had received prizes at previous examinations, a girl from the Pittington school, and John Niel, from the Seaham Harbour school, were the successful competitors. To give the names of the others who received prizes would occupy too much of our space, suffice it to say, there were work boxes, books, needle casei,..instrument cases, and all manner of useful articles for both boys and girls. The distribu tion of prizes being concluded, the children marched in again to their seats, whilst Lady Londonderry and visitors inspected the arrange mentslor making, and partook of, the tea, which was pronounced to be excellent. The water was boiled in an immense boiler erected in the school' yard, the tea itself being brewed in four tea urns, each holding 300 pints. The grace having ,been given out by the Bishop of Durham, and sung by the children, what some would consider the best part of the programme of the day's proceedings was commenced by an attack on the mountains of spice loaf which had been so temptingly placed before them, washing them down with " the cup that cheers but, not inebriates." The distribution of loaf and tea did not occupy so much time as the distri bution of prizes, and being over, the bishop gave out the concluding grace, oiler which— Lady LONDONDERRY rose and addressed them as follows : " Another year has passed, and by God's mercy I find my self spared to attend arecurrence of this meeting, which from its nature, I am free to confess, gives me perhaps greater sa tisfaction than any ether association my duty amongst you affords me.. I, believe, if we rightly understand our callings in life, it would be found that one of the greatest blessings insured by the possession of wealth is the power it ought to give the possessor of doing good to their fellow creatures. I confess this is too often lost sight of, and not the least by myself, in the pursuit of objects and ends of a more personal and selfish nature, and yet the satisfaction that I cannot but feel at being permitted to be instrumental in producing a res u lt suc h as this scene affords, is a proof of the truth that property entails duties, and if you try to discharge them, however humbly and inefficiently, you are rewarded ;for-I can assure you that the m e ans of ass i s ti n g towards the education of some 1,200 children is not lone of the least of the blessings I have to thank the Almighty for conferring on me: Trying, therefore, as I do, to estimate my responsibility, I may fairly claim of both parents and teachers their fullest sympathy and assistance in thiys work we have mutually at heart—namely, the fitting, by judi cious teaching, the youthful to pass through their future life happily and rightly in the positions they may here after occupy. I am glad to think that I have not to complain in not having been sufficiently seconded. I have the most satisfactory reports of all the schools, which happily contrasts with those of last year, lin not giving me grounds for special exhortation or blame in any particular. The attendance generally has been better, which leads me to believe that the parents have attended to my advice of lastyear, and have impressed on their children's mind the value if the employment of this time of intel lectual sowing. I have the most satisfactory account of the teachers, to whom my thanks are due, as also to the Rev. Mr. Bethune and the Rev. Mr. Scott, to whose attention and care I feel lam greatly indebted. I have been glad to 'find that my scheme of starting two competitive prizes, of the lists of boys and girls who had obtained prizes, to find out the first of each class, has been successful. I have writ ten the name of each in the books given them, and I hope it will serve as an example in future life of the results to be at tained by energy, industry, and perseverance. There is no one whom lam addressing who will not have in future life that opportunity of improving in his or her position that tide in the affairs of those which happens to us all, and which will when well applied, lead on to greater welfare, if not to for tune, and by the recollection of these qualities, and by God's help, there is no one of you who may not advance. One fea ture that has been brought out by this competitive examina tionis the advantage derived by not taking children away at too early an age ; the best answers being given by those of 14 years, while the majority competing averaged from 10 to 12. I hope parents will consider this, andl reflect whether the ultimate advantage of a year or two at school will not compensate for the loss of the immediate gain of their children's labour. I have been glad to hear that the examination of the girls' needlework was, by the wish of the ladies, to whom my thanks are due for their assist ance, based on the useful works of shirt-making, mending, darning, &c. It is by the knowledge of such acquirements and homely duties that you will hereafter make good wives, and you may be sure the true secret for a happy home is an industrious and thrifty wife. I feel it, as before,!a great encouragement to my humble endeavours to have the pre sence of the most reverend bishop of the diocese. I hope he will be kind enough to address a few words of advice, far more valuable than aught that I can advance, and I am thankful to him for doing us the honour of coming. ' I have now only to tell you again how much pleasure this sight gives me, and to wish you all well in your future lives." The Lord Bishop of DURHAM, in a speech of consider able length, enjoined upon the children the necessity of being diligent in their studies. He assured them he could readily j sin in the expressions of pleasure her ladyship announced. Their assembling reminded him of the bless ings and advantages they enjoyed, but the great difficulty with children was to persuade them of these advantages. If they could only be made to understand that right use of their privileges would both aid them in fighting the battle of the world and in securing happiness for ever, there would be no difficulty in persuading them to be very diligent. He trusted they would make a right use of talents entrusted to them. Time was one of the talents they enjoyed. How many were there who would give all they possessed to get their time back. Education was another, and it was the same with it. His lordship then read the motto, hanging from the top of the tent, " Nothing is difficult to the brave and the faithful," and pressed upon them to be faithful to themselves and to their masters, to those in whose employ they might be, they were to show that they were trustworthy and honest—to be faithfi#to God, to recollect there was another before whom they would have to give the answer of a good conscience towards God and themselves. They had heard a good deal about prizes, and must recollect that there was another prize to be tried for. Here only two or three could obtain one, there all might. His lordship next addressed words of encourage ment to the teachers, remarking on the dignity of their calling. They were fellow-labourers with himself, and he thanked them for it. He was very thankful to meet them all, and prayed God they might have such another happy meeting. Her ladyship said it was her greatest pleasure to do good, and he called upon all to learn that lesson—to be kind—to be unselfish, generous, benevolent, looking for their reward from above. Only set that before them, and he was sure they would be happy here and hereafter. Sir A. Antsox then addressed a few words of encourage ment to the children. He said that though a comparative stranger amongst them he felt great interest in the pro ceedings. It was a spectacle which could enly be witnessed in a country blessed with such institutions as ours, and if the great and affluent throughout the country would follow the example set them by the noble patroness of these schools, how soon would happiness be extended in the land, and the hearts of all be knit together. Her ladyship had told them that wealth; has its duties ; he would re mind them that labour also has it duties. He trusted there were many among those present who would do honour to the training they were now receiving. It was at schools similar to those, and in this locality, that Lord Eldon, one of the profoundest of lawyers, and afterwards Lord High Chancellor, and Admiral Collingwood, second only amongst our admirals to Nelson, received their education. But why need he go to others for examples ; he would refer them to the founder of these great works, who, although a nobleman by birth, solely by his own courage, integrity, and ability, had won for himself such eminence and such honour in the state and nation. Her ladyship and visitors afterwards retired amidst the reiterated cheers and applause of the children, who shortly afterwards adjourned to an adjoining field, there to complete their day's enjoy ment with games, &c. [ADVERTISEMENT.] — Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — Diphtheria, Sore Throat, Glandular Swellings.—Some twenty years ago diphtheria raged in Paris to an alarming extent, and in Boulogne, in 1855, its presence produced con sternation by the desolation it left in its track, and gained the appellation of the " Egyptian Pestilence." Diphtheria is a variety of typhoid fever, perfectly under curative con trol by Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which assuage the fever, diminish the thirst, disperse swollen glands, prevent inflammation in the throat, and speedily healthe hazardous ulcerations on the tonsils which always accompany the complaint. Various are the remote causes of this pesti lence, but impure blood directly produces it thus Hollo way's preparations, by filtering everything deleterious from that vital fluid, ward off the disease. Sir,—A letter in your imwession of this day, from Mr. Hawksley, contains some remarks which call for a brief statement 'from us of the facts of our position with-the different Commissioners of Works respecting the question of the purification of the Serpentine. In the year 1848, we were desired by the then Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to calculate the amount of mud contained in the' bed of the Serpentine, as shown by the very elaborate sections taken under the direction of Sir John Rennie, and we were further asked to report upon the best means, in our opinion, of improving the condition of that piece of water. In accordance vrith that request we made the- two reports of December 1 and 4, 1848 (given at length in the printed.s.opy of the correspondence), in the second of which we re commended that the mud should not be cleaned out, but that the bottom .be reduced to. a. regular slope, and coated over with concrete in exactly the same way as has since been carried out with such complete success in St.' James's Park. The mutter then dropped for several years, until Sir Benjamin Hall became Chief Commissioner of. Works, who immediately determined to alter the condition of the pieces of water in the public parks, and ordered that that in St. James's Park should be first dealt with, and the work of cleaning and concreting was commenced. Sir Benjamin then sent for Mr. Easton, and desired him to report Upon the best method of obtaining a supply of water to the lake, and in consequence our report of April, 1857, was written, recommending the sinking of the well in the duck island in St. James's Park. 'ln that' report we dealt with ,the whole subject, and stated that we were of opinion that a quantity could be obtained from that well suffioient for all the pieces of water —viz., the lake in St. James's Park, that in Buck ingham Palace Garlensi the Serpentine, and the basin in front of Kensington Palace. We received orders-to proeeed immediately with the work, and to make the permanent well; providing temporary machinery for filling and keeping up the lake in St. James's Park from that• source, until such time as he could obtain a grant 'from Parliament for the erection of permanent machinery, and for extend ing the operations to the Serpentine. Lord John Manners succeeded Sir Benjamin Hall as Chief ComMissio'ner, and we thought it right to put him 'in possession of the exact state of matters as left by his predecessors, and we wrote the report of Jan. 1, 1859, fo r which we received the thanks of his lordship. This brings us to the time of Mr. Fitzroy's be coming Chief Commissioner, and the first hint of the abandonment of the plan submitted to and ap proved by Sir B. Hall, and' partly carried out, was the obtaining of a grant for the execution of a more expensive plan, and, as we' shall very shortly show,, one involving a much larger annual tax upon the country without a corresponding benefit. We thereupon wrote our report of the sth i ns t. to the present Chief Commissioner—referring to our cor respondence with his predecessors on the subject, and making him a distinct offer to carry out and guarantee the works for a stated sum. 'We took this course because we were of opinion that Mr. Fitzroy could not be acquainted with those previous re ports, which opinion is confi rme d t o a grea t ex t en t by Mr. Hawksley's assertion, " That of these gen tlemen's schemea I never so much as heard, till some time after my report had been sent in and adopted, and then only because Messrs: Easton and Amos forwarded a letter to the First Commissioner," that letter being our report of the sth inst. above re ferred to. So much for the statement of our having forced our propositions upon the attention of the Govern ment—and now for the relative expense of the two plans. Mr. Hawksley states that the annual cost of his plan of filtration will not exceed £3OO, but he has evidently omitted one very important considera tion, and one which involves considerable expense —viz., that of providing a supply of water to keep up the evaporation. This is provided for at pre sent by the supply derived from the Chelsea Water works, at a cost of about £350 per annum, which sum, unless Mr. Hawksley has a cheaper source of supply, must be added to his estimate of the annual expense. _ _ We propose to provide an ample supply of fresh water for the sum of £11,500, and at an annual cost of £7OO. At first sight this seems a considerable excess upon Mr. Hawksley's estimate, but indepen dently of the addition which ought to be made to that estimate of the amount paid to the Chelsea Water Works Compeny, there must also be added the cost of keeping up the lakes in Buckingham Palace Gardens and St. James's Park, which amounted last pear to upwards of £5OO, and which would be done away with by the adoption of our plan. The real state of the case therefore is, that whereas Mr. Hawksley's plan involves an increase of £BOO a-year beyond what is now paid to the Chelsea Water Works Company, without doing away with the necessity of their supply, the plan proposed by us not only does not involve additional annual expense, but affords an annual saving of £l5O per annum. Thus, calculating the interest of the first outlay at 5 per cent. per annum, and adding thereto the annual expense of working, we have the following results : Mr. Hawksley's Plan Five per cent. on £17,000 £Bso 0 0 Cost of working (as per Mr. Hawksley's own. showing) Sums paid to Chelsea Water Works Company, and which must be continued, about 350 0 0 Sums paid last year for pumping water into St. James's Park and Buckingham Palace Gar dens Total annual cost £2,000 0 0 Easton, Amos and Son's Plan : Five per cent. on £11,500 575 0 0 Cost of working 7OO 0 0 Total annual cost £1,275 0 ö This shows a saving of £5,530 in the first out lay, and an annual saving of not less than 4700 by our plan as compared with that of Mr. Hawksley. We are greatly astonished in common, no doubt, with the rest of the public at Mr. Hawksley's ac count of the purity and excellence of the Serpen tine water, and we can only inquire as men of com mon sense whether such an outlay as that of £17,000 can possibly be required if the water be so good as he describes ? With regard to Mr. Hawksley's statement that " Messrs. Easton and Amos's device is based on false premises, both as regards the influence it would have exercised on the Serpentine and the quantity of water to be obtained from a well in the duck-island, and certain to pr6duce evil conse quences of no small magnitude in and around St. James's-park," we cannot better endorse our opinion than by saying that we are willing to guarantee the whole works, the getting of the water and de livering it to the Serpentine, and to take upon our selves the responsibility of all the evil consequences prophesied by that gentleman. We think your readers will absolve us so far from any charge of personality towards Mr. Hawksley. Without, however, making so sweeping a state ment as that to which that gentleman's modesty has prompted him, we think that our 35 years practical experience in various hydraulic operations, by no means unfits us for arriving at sound conclu sions on a matter so simple as the supply to the See pentine. With reference to Mr. Hawk s l e y' s re marks as to the difference in the views of contrac tors and professional men, we happen to occupy both positions, and we can only say that we f ee l honoured in sharing the odium which he seeks to throw upon the former, with several eminent civil engineers who stand higher in our profession than either ourselves or Mr. Hawksley. We have found the advantage of being able to act in this double capacity, and we would mention that in the case of the water supply of no fewer than six towns within the past two years, our ser vices, originally engaged as consulting engineers, have been retained as contractors for the carrying out of our plans, at our estimates—a proof of the growing appreciation of public bodies of a mode of business which enables them to reck on w ith cer tainty upon having engineering works carried out within the estimates. We are, your obedient servants, EASTON, AMOS, AND SONS. Grove, Southwark, S.E., Aug. 13. TILE BUILDERS' STRIKE. The following builders, it has been stated to us, opened their yards yesterday :—Mr. Sergant, of Camden-town, employing upwards of 80 men ; Mr. Morris, Park-street, Grosvenor-square, employing about 40 ; Mr. Jackson, Rathbone-place, about 40 ; Mr. Lawrence, Brook-street, New-road, about 50 ; Mr. Warne, Soho•square, about 40; and Mr. Potter, Great Pulteney-street. It has not been ascertained whether the full complement of workmen have been called in, but, whatever the number be, they have gone in, it appears, without subscribing to any terms. J. Wise, Kew (Blue) 1 J. Chandler, Hammersmith (White) 2 W. Mancey, Isleworth The men started away from the aqueduct b-idge very evenly ; immediately after which Wise and Chandler drew slightly in front. At the Matia Wood, moored nearly op posite Megan. Searle's late yard, Wise , was just clearing himself of Chandler, who was nearly half a length clear of Mancey. In the rowing up to Craven Cottage the three men, preserving their relative positions, became wider apart, and Mancey fell right astern. Second Heat. T. Pocock, Lambeth (Green and White) 1 R. Pinar, Hammersmith • (Green) 2 G. Drewett, Chelsea (Red) 0 This was a very fine heat. At the onset Drewett and Pocock came out admirably together ; but in a few pulls Pocock led well, and had cleared himself off the high bridge. Piner, who had been slightly astern, now chall i enged Drewitt, and passed him at the point where the latter gave in, and the other men finished very much at their lei Sure. Third Heat. B. Oxlado, Paul's-wharf (Yellow and Black) 0 Jno. Mackinney, Richmond . (Green and RO) 0 Thomas Mackinney of Richmond start e d i n thi s heat. From the first Oxlade took a decided lead, the other two off the committee barge being half their length astern of him. Soon, however, John Mackinney rowed up to (*.Wade, and a foul occurred betweeil them. Oxlade appealed to the umpire, and left off rowing, John Mackinney finishing the distance. As Thos. Mackinney had stood no chance, and did not put in any claim to contend in the grand heat, both John Mackinney and Oxlade were placed. Waterinen's Apprentices, for a coat, badge, and freedom, presented by the Thames Subscription Club. First Heat. J. H Clasper, Newcastle (Black) 1 H. Styles, Isleworth (White) 2 F. Kelly, Fulham S. Beckett, Fulham (Yellow) 0 G. Francis, Teddington (Blue) 0 Although all broke away together th e y were on l y in line for a moment, Clasper taking a fine and decided lead, which he maintained throughout ; Styles followed him pretty closely, but was some time before he disposed of the others. Second Heat W. Hemmings Richmond E. Agars, Chelsea ..... (Yellow and Black) 2 S. Maloney, Richmond (Red) 0 G. Sheppard, Chelsea (Red and White) 0 H. Phelps, Fulham (Green and White) 0 The start was exceedingly good, the two winning men coming prettily out at first, and holding it, but the others rowed very capitally, especially Maloney. Champion Four-oared Race, open to the World. First Heat. Lord Kilmorey (Newcastle) crew (Blue) 1 Hammersmith crew (White) 2 Shakespeare (Manchester) crew (Red) 0 4 The Kilmorey Crew. J. H.

Barratt T. Barley, coxswain. As we have before stated, this was the great event of the regatta, and upon which its popularity may fairly be said to hinge. To the above-named wero added, in another heat, the Adelaide, or Fulham crew, of the Champion of the Thames (H. Kelly), a crew from Hampton, and a second crew from Hammersmith, called " the Western." Amongst the six the Claspers (Newcastle), to whom were added, as it will be seen, the great Chambers, who is now backed to row for the championship of the Thames, were first favourites, and many gentlemen had come to London from the North to back them and to witness the race. Kelly's and the first -named Hammersmith crew were next in de mand; the extraordinary rowing of the latter in former races had deservedly advanced them in popularity, and as they were said to be in very first-rate condition this year, they did not lack backers. As regarded the merits of the other three, much diversity of opinion existed. It was a fine start, and they were literally oar and oar for a quarter of a mile, when the Claspers began to show a slight front, and the Hammersmith to be second ; the latter then made a desperate effort to overhaul the former, and the Manchester on their part were doing the same for second place. The Claspers at Hammersmith-bridge wore half their length clear; the Hammersmith three boats a head of Manchester. After this the two leading crews began to ease. Claspers came in first by three lengths. _ _ Second Heat. Adelaide—Fulham and Richmond treen) 1 Western—Hammersmith Black) 2 Hampton ( ellow) 0 The Adelaide Crew. F. Kelly J. Mackinney T.

The Adelaide and Hampton went off together, but the former soon took the lead, kept it, and won as they liked. The Hampton crew gradually gave place to the Western, and was pretty well half a dozen lengths astern. Apprentices' Final Heat. W. Hemmings, Richmond E. Agars, Chelsea .. 2 John H. Clasper, Newcastle Henry Styles, Isleworth Hemmings won the race easily. Clasper was very good throughout, and had an advantage at the beginning, but after a desperate race succumbed to Agars.

A f ou l t h en occurred between ac Oxlade and Mackinney, but the latter was in the ri g ht. A magnificent race follow e d b e t ween Pocock and ise, till the latter fairly rowed him down, and won easily. Piner, of Hammersmith, did not go. Great praise is due to Mr. C. Maxwell, for his able as sistance on board the committee barge, in manning the umpires' boats, and looking after other important matters. Th e grand heat of the Champion four -oared race will be rowed up from Putney to Chiswick Eyott, at half-past four this afternoon, and a steamer has been engaged by the com mittee to accompany the race. The Newcastle men are the favourites.

THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAIL. The Pera arrived at Southampton yesterday with the heavy portion of the Calcutta and China mail. She left Alexandria, August 3 ; Malta, August 6;. and Gibraltar, .August 11. . Amongst her cargo was , specie, jewellery, and plate-to the value of £4,156, besides two packages of specie and jewellery, the value of which ,was unknown, and 1,685 bales and cases of silk. The Perri brought home 102 passengers, amonght'whom. were Colonels Hickey, Benson, Bingham, Day, and B.udd'i Majors Haynes and Garrett ; Captains Carden, -Benbank, Cunningham, Clerk,' Camp bell, - and White , ; Com modore Yelverton ; Lieutenants Strong;Daubeney, Millett, Heathcote, Stevens, , Cherry, Smith, Bain bridge, Cottingham, Sainsbury, Carey, Wilkinson, and Riley; and Dr. Longmore. The Pera met with moderate breezes and fine weather from Alexandria to Cape Finisterre, and fresh favourable breezes and fine weather across the Bay and up the Channel. She spoke the Indian packet Behar on the 6th inst., and the Australian packet Ripon and brig Lucy on the 14th inst. Her Majesty's ships Caradoc and Banshee were at Malta, the Orion and Cadmus had left that port for Naples, the London was at Alexandria, and the Vulture was at Gibraltar. The India mail packet Indus left Gibraltar for Malta on the 10th inst. The Spanish Government screw steamer, General Alava, had left Tarragona with 1,000 troops to reinforce the garrison of Mahon. H.M. troop ship Urgent had put into Gibraltar to land some men belonging to the sth brigade Royal Artillery, and was about to proceed to Malta. The Portuguese steamer Duke of Oporto was wrecked on the coast of Peniche. The Russian steam cor vette Bayan had put into Cadiz. The Austrian frigate Novara, which has circ umnav i gate d the gloe, had left Gibraltar for Trieste. The British steamer Imperial had been in collision with the Spanish polacre brig Amaltem, and had towed her into Gibraltar in consequence of the damage done to her. The Cadiz correspondent of the Gibraltar Chronicle writes on the sth inst. that " the screw steamer Gothenburg, consigned to Daniel M'Pher son, Esq., arrived this morning at half-past eight o'clock. She will depart direct for London on the 20th inst. and probably before. Shipments usually about this season of the year are rather slack, which, added to the late failures we have had in Cadiz, Port St. Mary's, and Xerez, to the extent, together, of one million dollars, business in gene ral, it may be said, is at a complete standstill ; an improvement, however, it is confidently expected, will take place by the latter end of this or the commencement of the ensuing month. The Oscar was to leave London for Gibraltar and this port on the 30th ult. The Gibraltar would follow on the 20th inst. The latter vessel has been detained in England in consequence of undergoing a thorough repair in her boilers and machinery." Exchange at Gibraltar—On London, 90 days, di s.

The report (which has already been published in The Sun) was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, remarked that it was highly gratifying to the directors to see that the income of the company was steadily in creasing. A considerable quantity of building wa s in contemplation in the neighbourhood of Becken ham, which would materially tend to a still further increase. A SHAREHOLDER seconded the motion, whi c h was carried. The CHAIRMAN said that there was a paragraph in the report referring to the Brighton Company, upon which it might be necessary for him to make an observation. The paragraph was :—,, The di rectors regret to say that the bill promoted by this company in the present session, for the objects stated in the last report, was opposed by the Brighton Company, and thrown out by the com mittee of the House of Commons. The board cun sider the course taken by the agents and counsel of the Brighton Company in this matter to have been entirely at variance with the spirit of the a greement between the tw o com p an i es , and directly u hostileer these the inte res t o f t h e Mid K ent C ompan y. nd circum s t ances t h ey h ave i n f orme d t he greem Brighton entot Company that the Mid Kent ComPanyo will consider maT, appear eenbegged to state that the tra ffi c of the line. themselves at liberty with rerspteoctbet be a n n e y fie f i v a t l u t r proceedings that future tion, and it had ~romthe brought ßrighton Company in over three pages, • had only been jult put into his this had not been insertedwailtohoogutlemttl;etcrh, extendingconsidera ,- reply.
