In con clusion, I beg to observe that, even in the very dis tricts to which provisionally I refer as standards of health, there are deaths of a preventable kind; not many, indeed, but enough to satisfy your lordships that the healthiness of those districts, as compared with perfection, is but of moderate excellence ; and enough to show that, if in these districts the popu lation had exhausted all known means for removing the cause or disease, their death -rate would have contrasted still more strikingly with that of the unhealthier districts."

Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., A GOOD TIME COMING. By the Author of " Mathew Paxton." SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. The Portuguese frigates, the Bartholomew Dios and the Sagres, arrived at Southampton this morn ing, having on board Prince George of Saxony, his bride the Infanta of Portugal, and the brother of the bride, the Duke of Oporto. The Prince and the Infanta were married at Lisbon about a week since. Her Majesty's ship Termagant, lying in Southampton Water, and the Portuguese frigates fired Royal salutes and manned yards as the Royal party left the frigate in a small steamer for South ampton Docks, and the guns on the platform fired a Royal salute as the illustrious personages landed. Soon after they landed the Prince and Princess, and the Duke of Oporto,, started in a special train on a visit to the Queen, The Royal personages were received at Southampton by the Chevalier D'Olivier, Secretary of the Portuguese Legation; Colonel Seymour, of the. Queen's_ household; Mr. Edward Palk, Mayor of Southampton ; Captain Patey, R.N., Admiralty Superintendent ; Lieut. O'Reilly, R.N., Deputy Superintendent; Mr. Messom, Superintendent's Secretary ; and Mr. N. M. Priaulx, Portuguese' Vice-Consul. A scarlet carpet was laid down from the landing-place to the railway carriage, and the Princess was escorted by her husband and her brother, followed by the ladies and gentlemen of their suites. Her Majesty's sloop Scourge arrived at Gibraltar the 6th, with H.R.H. Albert Edward Prinee of Wales, who is on his return to England, after his sojourn at Rome. His Royal Highness landed at 12 o'clock, under a Royal salute, and was received by his Excellency the Governor, his staff, and a guard of honour from the 7th Royal Fusiliers. On the following day the Prince, accompanied by Colonel Shuttleworth, commanding Royal Artil lery, and, numerous other officers, rode up to the Rock Gun, and in the evening honoured his Ex cellency Sir James Fergusson with his company at dinner. ' A pocket blue-book of 40 pages contains a report of the medical officer of the Privy Council on Pub lic Health. Mr. Simon first recapitulates the pro ceedings taken during the year 1858, under the Public Health Act of that year, especially as regards public vaccination. It is likely to be arranged, in conjunction with the College of . Surgeons, that a cer tificate shall be required from some public vacci witor, to the effect- that the candidate for the diploma of the College of Surgeons has prac tically studied vaccination and its results. Ar rangements have also been made for the supply of lymph, so as to compensate for the advancing diminution of those sources of lymph on which the public had heretofore depended for supply. The largest vaccinating station of Manchester had be come contributory to the lymph supply of the National Vaccine Establishment, and Mr. Simon thinks this step of great importance ' as the con nexion of provincial station s w ith the Central Vac cine Board, by making them superintendent con tributories of lymph, is a first step towards giving them that special position and guaranteed charac ter which would suggest their being recognised as national schools of vaccination. Another advan tage will be the making of a commencement towards " A novel that possesses very great merit. The story is honest and healthy."—Press.

(From the Correspondent of the _Daily News.) ALESSANDRIA, MAY 15. lam still writing from this city, which, as you known, is the most remarkable monument of the great Lombard league. On the confines of the Marquisate of Montferrat and the Pavezano, be tween the Tanaro and the Bormida and near their junction, stands this famous town. After the blessing of the Pontiff and a general congress of the league, it was Zetermined that the city to be built round the spot where a small castle called " Del Roberto" stood should be named Alessandria, in honour of Pope Alexander 111., the protector of the Guelphs and the head of catholic Christendom. It was within its walls that in the year 1174 the citizens of the Lombard towns, together with the inhabitants of the surrounding villages, stood their ground against the army of the incensed German Emperor, who was compelled to make a disgraceful retreat from before the newly erected walls. It was yesterday that the Emperor of the French, riding side by side with Marshal Canrobert, and sur rounded by a brilliant st aff, made his entry into the town, establishing here the head - quarters of his powerful army. I need scarcely tell you that the arrival of his Majesty has been greeted by the most cordial and enthusiastic manifestations on the part both of citizens and soldiers. Triumphal arches were erected in different streets. At the gate of Porta Marengo, which leads to the famous field of battle made illustrious by the First Consul, one arch had been erected, adorned with flowers and flags, on the frieze of which the motto, " All' erede del Vincitore di Marengo" (To the descendant of the conqueror of Marengo) had been conspicuously em blazoned in tri-coloured letters. Victor Emmanuel, riding on a fine bay charger, went to meet the Emperor, and took him to the Royal Palace, splen didly decorated for the occasion. The appearance of the King was really magnificent ; his martial bearing, and his bold, firm aspect, gave evidence of the noble race of warriors from whom he springs. It would have been a subject worthy of Marochetti. My pen is not powerful enough to describe the busy and singular appearance of the town. Groups of Zouaves, bands of hussars and lancers, together with the beautiful women and girls of the city, singing and embracing each other with that nonchalance which forms one of the prominent features of the present movement. Ladies of rank walking arm in-arm with the young officers of the Imperial Guard ; priests and soldiers talking together, eating together, drinking and singing together. The enthusiasm was not d'ordre, but it was the real manifestation of a poiverful and true-felt feeling. This manifestation had no limit when the first order of the day addressed by the Emperor to the army was posted at the corners of the streets, and over the walls of public buildings., The activity which prevails in the French and Sardinian camps leaves no doubt that the hour of the great struggle is near at hand. General Gyulai had, perhaps, caught scent of the intentions of his adversaries, for since yesterday he has hastily aban doned the position of Bobbio, which he had caused to be explored by a column of the army he com mands. By the intended occupation of this moun tain town he had apparently the object of menacing the right of the allied army. Descending on the valley of the Staffora he could have attacked the ex treme right of the French, whilst with a bold march through the opening on his left he could have threat ened Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers, who is still posted on the main road from Novi to Genoa with the Ist corps d'armee. On the other hand, with the occupation of Bobbio, he could have equally de scended into the valley of the Trebbia if his centre of Piacenza had been menaced. The movement of the Austrian general-in-chief on Bobbio was almost simultaneous with the advance on Stradella, Broni, Carteggio, Casatisma, Argine, and Mezzana Corti. A glance at the map will show you that the three first-mentioned villages are in direct communication with the entrenched Austrian camp of Piacenza, and the last with Gravellone and Pavia. The camp of Piacenza has been manned with 200 heavy guns, and it is there that General Gyulai awaits the first attack of the united forces. These, of course, are all mere conjectures ; but, as I told you, people here of mark and likelihood share almost to a man this opinion. At the extreme left of the piedmontese lines nothing of note has occurred since my last letter. A second reconnaissance en force has been made by the Sardinians on the Vercelli road, marching as far as the Cascine di Stra. The Ans. trians did not stir from, their positions, nor did they answer to the vigorous fire of their brave assailants. The enlistment of volunteers is going on with great activity both at Turin and Acqui. In this last town a regiment called Cacciatori delli Apen nini is ready to join the active army. It is com manded by Signor Boldoni, a distinguished Nea politan colonel. This regiment is composed of four battalions under the orders *of Majors Duke San Donato, Mathieu, Gheltoff, and Zanardi. The first of these gentlemen is an intimate friend of Commen datore Ratazzi, formerly Home Secretary in Cavour's administration, and one of the leading men of the Chamber. In order to give you a full idea of the readiness of Lombard and Venetian noblemen to join the national army, I shall quote a few preg nant instances. In one of the cavalry regiments there are three Marquises Visconti ; in the Caccia tori delle Alpi, four Counts della Riva ; and throe Counts Arrivabene in another regiment. Dukes and princes are not wanting ; and the noblest and most ancient families of Venice, Florence, Cremona, Brescia, Bergamo, and Padua, are represented in the army. It is my painful duty to dwell again on the atro cities which mark the occupation of the Austrian army in Piedmont. I have seen a poor fellow who, together with twenty of his countrymen, has been wounded by Piedmontese bullets under the follow ing circumstances : An Austrian colonel was ordered by General Zobel to make a reconnaissance near Vortona. He was instructed to get hold of some twenty Piedmontese peasants, and make them march in front of his columns in order to screen his movements. Threatened by the enemy, the Pied montese were in the painful position of opening their fire against the poor fello vs, who fell uttering the cry of " Bravi, Viva l'ltalia." This fact, which I am able to state on very good authority, because I saw ..one of the victims myself, speaks volumes, and needs no comment. English people shall judge. As the mail is closing, I have only time to add a piece of news which has caused great surprise in the political circles of Turin. Lord Malmesbury has directed Sir James Hudson to signify to Count Cavour that it is the wish of her Majesty's Govern ment that the term for laying the embargo on Austrian ships should be prolonged. The reason given•to justify this Austrian demand is, that the captains who are not awar e o f the actual state of war would be led into a trap. His lordship must have forgotten that Piedmont is carrying on a seri ous and decisive war against Austria, and that a sentimental policy would be quite out of place. On the other hand, history teaches us that during our wars against France and Russia, it was altogether a different principle which prevailed at Downing street. If lam rightly informed, the suggestion of I Lord Malmesbury has been met by a flat and peremptory refusal. "May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the Chair man, Deputy-Chairman, and Members of the Chamber of Commerce, for ourselves and for the inhabitants of Gibral tar, beg leave to approach your Royal Highness with the expression of the general gladness upon your arrival in this important possession of the Crown, and of our devoted attachment to her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. For though it be small in extent, and we ourselves so distant from the presence of our Sovereign, we can give place to none of her Majesty's subjects in more earnest and dutiful assurance of our loyalty and devotion. " In former times this mighty fortress has taken digni fied part in the history of our country, and imparted by its brilliant and ever-memorable defence great strength and security to the general interests of the empire. As Eng lishmen we know with pride that if it be again attacked it wilr maintain and increase all its ancient glory. From ourselves even hereafter may be demanded sacrifice and self-denial for the national good, and we shall never fail either in our loyalty or our patriotism. If, therefore, your Royal Highness should sometimes recall to mind this famous rock, we humbly hope you may then remember the gratitude and loyal devotion of the contented and grateful people who have now with eagerness and delight welcomed you to their home, which long has been protected by all their country's greatness. We devoutly and earnestly pray Almighty God long to preserve our beloved Queen, the Prince Consort, your Royal Highness, and all the royal family, and to protect her Majesty's reign over her pros perous and happy people." His ROYAL HIGHNESS made the following reply : —Gentlemen,----I very sincerely thank you for this cordial address of welcome. The interest and gratification I have derived from my visit to Gibraltar, so justly celebrated for its military strength and picturesque beauty, have been greatly enhanced by the hearty reception which I have met from all classes of the inhabitants; of which I shall always retain a most pleasing remembrance. I shall take the opportunity of conveying to the Queen, my mother, the gratifying assurances which you give of your well known loyalty and patriotism, and of your devoted attachment to her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and to all the members of the royal family. , His Royal Highness afterwards minutely in spected the hospitals and other military establish ments, and then proceeded to a review of the infantry of the garrison. In the evening he hon • oured the officers of the Royal Artillery with his company at dinner. A ball was given by his Excellency in honour of the Prince, and the town was again brilliantly illuminated. TANTLI TOPRE. For the sake of its description of this extraordi nary freebooter, we extract from last night's Gazelle the following deposition of Aman Singh, Tuhseel dar, taken by the officiating political agent, Camp Goodah, Jan. 17 : "My name is Aman Singh, Tuhseeldar of Ajub ghur. On the 14th January, 1859, I heard guns firing about 11 o'clock a.m. Five sowars came from the direction of Sainthal, and a buneah whom they had plundered of a camel came and complained. I at once came out to the garden, outside of Ajub ghur, and I saw a number of sowars assembling. I sent a man to inquire why the sowars had come, and to inform them that if they came in the direc tion of the city I would fire on them. One of the sowars accompanied my man back ; he said that he had come from Dewsa, and was with the Shahzada Ferozeshah. I informed him that there was no road via Ajubghur for a force, and asked his reason for coming ; he then said that his people had been sur prised at Dewsa early that morning, and that they had lost a great deal of property, and that a num ber of men had been killed on both sides ; and he said that he intended to stay there, and get russud, and procure money from me, and added that if he did not receive 20,000 rupees be would sack Ajub ghur, and take russud by force. I refused to give it him, and said that if he sent one of the sirdars I would speak to him about it. " The sowar went to his force, and brough a Ka nojia Brahmin, named Ghoree Shunkur. I inquired who was his sirdar, told him that I had received information of his approach, and was prepared for him with my guns. He replied that he knew all about my Hindostanee Fouj, and would plunder the city if he did not get supplies. I said he would find it difficult to plunder the city, as my men were ready, and recommended him to go past the city by another road, and that if his Sowars did not keep together they would be fired upon. " I was then told that Tantia was behind, and that he would come up directly, and then the city would be plundered. " I then requested to have an interview with Tantia alone, outside his force, but they refused this, but offered to give me (dhurma) if I went into their force alone. My people did not wish me to go, "but I said there was no way of saving the city, as we were so few, and they numbered 4,000, and that if they did attempt any treachery I would destroy Ghoree Shunkur, who gave me the safe guard, before they could kill or seize me. " I then went on horseback with Ghoree Shun kur to Tantia Topee. I was accompanied by one servant and two Sepoys. A Rajpoot Thackoor seized my bridle, and tried to prevent my going into Tantia's camp. I refused to get off my horse until Tantia and Ghoree Shunkur came to one side, where I got off, and they also dismounted. I sat down with Tantia and Ghoree Shunkur. "Tantia then told me that if I wished to save the city from plunder I must pay 20,000 rupees. I refused to do this, but Tantia, being very . much confused with the beating he had received in the morning, agreed to go, provided I gave him four Chowkeedars to show him the way outside the city, and they went on eight miles, and encamped at Bamun, in the Ghazika Tanna pergunnah ; there they plundered the village, and got some russud by force. Tantia has a round face, is copper-coloured, and is slightly pock-marked ; he has a rather flat nose, has a stubble beard, and seems to have been unshaven for a month ; he is a strong middle-sized man, about 40 years of age. " The force under Tantia is much distressed,as very Tantia's horse, a cream - col our (Koorla), was thin ; and the horses of the Sonars were in bad condition and galled. There were about 3,500 or 4,000 people of all sorts ; there were between 100 or 200 foot, the rest were gowars ; 20 charP oys we re carried along, containing the wounded, and 20 more followed ; there were also a number of men on foot and horsebrick wounded. There are also a lot of men wounded in the different villages on their line of march. " They say they were completely taken b sur prise on the morning of the fight,, and y that they lost between 600 and 700 men, but that they killed 200 of the British. The Begarees who accompanied them from Ajubghur report that a number of the enemy had dispersed after leavin g Aj u b g h ur, and they tr i e d to bribe the villagers to allow them to remain con cealed. I consider that they received such a blow that they will now disperse, as numbers of the Sowars are men from the neighbourhood of Aug gur and Shekawattee." FRESH WATER ON BOARD PASSENGER SHIPS.— The Gazette of yesterday contains an order in council direc ting that any passenger ship may now be cleared out and proceed on her voyage having on board, in tanks or casks, only half the quantity of pure water required by the " Pas sengers' Act, 1855," to be carried for the use of the passen gers, provided there be on board an efficient apparatus for distilling fresh water from salt water, such apparatus to be provided under certain regulations. what may hereafter fill a present want in medical education. It will hardly be believed that hitherto many a medical student has completed his studies without having had any convenient opportunity of learning to vaccinate ! It has therefore often been wished that some well-frequented vaccination stations, situate in those large towns where medical schools exist, could be available for educational purposes. Mr. Simon has most laudably made local inquiries relative to the prevalence of disease and its preven tion, in Conway, Windsor, and Wraysbury. In Conway it was found that the sanitary laws were most inefficiently administered, and that cleanliness was disgracefully neglected. There was scarcely any house-drainage, privy accommodation was miserably deficient, and pigs abounded; in short, within the walls of this dirty town (so well known to tourists in Wales by its fine old castle), nuisances existed to a flagrant and dangerous extent. The diseases actually existing in the town at the time of the inquiry could not, Mr. Simon admits, be pro perly imputed to the state of the place ; but in other respects Conway has not altogether escaped from the ordinary consequences of filth. The pro visions of the law were to be more strictly en forced, and a " Nuisance Removal Board has since been nominated. At Wraysbury, and, indeed, in the whole Eton union, there was apparently great insufficiency of vaccination, and malig nant smallpox was carrying all before it. The typ hoid fever at Windsor (a common " filth fever," as Mr. Simon styles it), is clearly t racea bl e t o unclean- liness and extreme slovenliness in the removal of filth. The nuisances were literally innumerable, and the town had as many stenches as—or more than—the famous old city that adorns the banks of Father Rhine. But the great evil was defective sewage arrangement, the external ventilation being utterly inadequate. In fine, " the system of sewer age, with frequent domestic defects of sink trap ping, favoured the habitual escape of sewer atmos phere into houses ; last year, from accidenal cir cumstances, the sewer atmosphere was at about its maximum of poisonousness, and the result was an epidemic of typhoid fever." Disease, however, the precursor of " pale death," did not on this occasion verify the aphorism of the Roman poet ; for, while it unscrupulously invaded " the cottages of the poor," it passed by " the palaces of Kings." Windsor Castle, in fact, was remarkably exempt from the pestilence, a phenomenon to be attibuted not to " the divinity that cloth hedge " Kings and Queens, but to the very prosaic secon dary cause of obedience to hygienic laws, the drainage of the Castle being abundantly ventilated and in capital order, and, in curious corroboration of this position, it is shown that while the " Castle proper," which is drained apart from the town, was free from fever, the cloisters and the mews, de pendencies of the Castle, which [alone were in communication with the town sewers, were severely scourged by the epidemic. The Local Board of Health is denounced as not irresponsible for the existence of the fatal causes at work, while Mr. Austin. Mr. Simon's collaborateur on this occasion, severely stigmatises the incompetence of the town surveyor—a charge which Mr. Simon endorses with opinions of members of the board respecting his "cul pable inefficiency." Mr. Simon has reason to doubt that typhoid fever was at Windsor communicated by contagion, although he will hazard no assertion on the general principle. The result of Mr. Simon's valuable inquiries about the disease (epidemic) of diptheria cannot be submitted to their lordships for some time to come. A part of them will, it is hoped, be ready before the autumnal recess, in the form of a supplement to the present report. On the gene ral state of public health in England, to which Mr. Simon very briefly refers, the essential points evolved are-1, the present very large total of deaths, and, 2, the inequality of their distribution in different districts of the country. There are, as already shown, 100,000 deaths every year that ought not fairly to take place •, these 100,000 deaths (in ex cess) are due to bad drainage, impurity of water, overcrowded and un cleansed habitations, want of air, unwholesome occupations, neglect of children, and, above all, the omissian or malpraxis of vaccination. Towns are the chief sufferers, although it is not in towns alone that the mean& of public cleanliness are neglected; for in hamlets and villages, no less than in cities, refuse often remains unremoved from about the dwellings of the people ; but in this case the quantity of nuisance in proportion to the quan tity of wholesome ventilation commonly remains small, and an amount of sanitary neglect, which to dense urban populations would be the sure cause of great mischief, remains comparatively harmless in rural districts with scattered populations# Some of the diseases consequent on a violation of the sanitary laws are shown to prevail twice or thrice, some 10 or 20 times, some even 40 or 50 times as fatally in some districts as in other districts of England; the result being that the mortality of some districts is higher than that of others by 50 to 100 per cent., and that the death rate of the whole country is 33 per cent. above the death rate of its healthiest parts. These facts are startling, and Mr. Simon does not wish to soothe t he public mind into the slothful apathy of indifference by disguising the truth, or " prophesying smooth things." The second part treats generally of the state of public health in England, and the remarks on this head are so important that we extract them without abbreviation : The essential points which I deem it necessary to bring under your lordships' consideration are—first, the present very large total of deaths ; and secondly, the inequality with which deaths ar e di s t r ib ute d i n different districts of the country. From the Regis trar-Generals last quarterly report I learn, that b in the year 1858 the deaths in England amounted to 450,018. If the views be correct which in the above mentioned report I had the honour of submitting in detail for the consideration of her Majesty's Govern ment, this mortality very greatly exceeds the normal rate of death. It rep resen t s an excess of at least 300 deaths a•day above wh a t th e best authorities consider the natural and attainable death-rate of England; ' and if this death-rate which fortunately is habitual in a tenth pa r t o f the districts of England, had not been exceeded by the death-rates of the remaining population, th ere would have been in the year 1858 a saving of more than 100,000 lives. In the report already re f erre d to, I have stated the grounds on which it seems certain that, if only a few simple sanitary faults were corrected throughout the coun try, the average annual mortality might be reduced even to this large extent. Absence of proper drainage and scavenging, impurity of water supply, overcrowded, ill-ventilated, uncleansed dwellings ; —unwholesome conditions connected (but often not necessarily connected) with the pursuit of certain branches of industry; neglect of children, incidentally (but not unavoidably) arising from the employment of mothers in factories ; omission or mal-performance of vaccination : these few heads indicate our chief sanitary evils, and their average annual fatality may safely be reckoned at more than 100,000 deaths. As regards the local distribution of this large excess of mortality, I need haridiy, ly inform your lordships that, speakin g generally, towns are the chief sufferers—partly b e cause they, with reference to the habits and oc cu p ations of the people, have certain causes of disease almost pecu liar to them ; but still more because they_ ar e_ the chief seats of those very fa tal diseases which are engendered or multiplied b y filth. In. this, 1858 disease diseaße seems to have been di stributed on usual fEnbgyla thenhd. Te rema i n i n g three-tenth s Seven-tenthsofof large towns, 'wh o d o the excess of deaths wer e plan.suffered inhabitants population were no t co nstitute ha_telfntthhes inha bitants of small tow ns and countr y parishes. I have no prese nt means of anal y sin g with perfect exactness the local distribution of particular diseases in 1 858. The fact of the large total excess, taken . i n conjunction with the statement just quoted, and with such information as can be gathered from the quarterly returns of the local registrars, is all that NOTTINGHAM, 18111—The lace trade is quiet, and although some i,f the warehouses are doing a fair stroke of business, manufacturers, generally speaking, are very indifferently engaged. In the home trade there is rathermore doing, and morels expected to be done shortly for export. Some small failures have taken place during the last few days, Some orders have been received for mosquitos and plain nets, and mechlins are still in request. The hosiery trade is still brisk, and while the demand for home consumption is steadily on the increase, manufacturers have orders on hand for the Ameri can market. There is very little change in the price of material. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER SPRING MEETING.—WEDNESD.LT. The Scurry Stakes (Handicap) of 3 sous each, with 20 added. Winners extra.

The men, it may be remembered, rowed last December for a like amount, over the same course, when, owing to a foul, the race was given in Drewitt's favour. Yesterday the men were accompanied by a steamer, which was full of spectators, and, in addi tion to this there were a large number of small boats, and the towing-path and bridges were well lined with spectators. The men came to the post in splendid condition, and did the greatest credit to their respective trainers. They were accompanied by two fine pilots, Kelly, the champion of the Thames, taking up Drewitt, and Stephen Salter, of Wandsworth, Oxlade. Mr. Biffen, of Hammersmith, was referee, and Drewitt got the best station. At going off, the nose of Drewitt's boat showed a foot or two in advance, but Oxlade immediately closed the gap, and:they rowed a neck-and-neck race to off Searles' at a tremendous pace. Drewitt then began to lead and was soon well ahead, but Oxlade ever and anon drew up all the way to the Crab Tree, where he was only about a length astern. Presently Drewitt gained two more lengths, but ere their arrival at Hammersmith Oxlade had much decreased the distance, and passed under the bridge about two lengths astern. After this Drewitt kept the lead, but not easily, and won by six or eight lengths, doing the distance in less than 25 minutes. Drewitt trained at Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes. ROWING MATCH BETWEEN NEAT, OF THE WHITE HART, AND HANDS, OF THE SHIP TAVERN, MILEs , . , 1, along FOR £lO A-SlDE.—Much excitement was occasio n ed the Millbank shore in consequence of Mr. Ne,at, sahoax, asserting a that the challenge from him, in Bell'sLife, wt was out upon the considerable deal of money having bee n beaeers n pu he very gallantly race; but this having reached his ' lodged in the hands of and the money on both side builder in the neighbourhood— Mr. Atkins—an eminent kindly undertaken to act as judge undertook to meet his adverswaarsy, Mr. Hands, yesterday, this gentleman having The race was from Vauxhall-bridge to The Sunbeam steamer was chartered for from the second and third piers of Vaut- Putney-bridge— Mr. Hands won the toss, and took the Mid dlesex athned stakeholder.o • • At 23 minutes past one they got away stroke oth men were in fine condition. Neat's ccasiotiß. for stroke. style of rowing was beautiful, though (for a less expe rienced man) to our idea rather - high. But his powerful o pponent stuck to his work with such pertinacity,that they arrived at Putney as they left Vauxhall, nose and nose, and the judge gave it a dead heat. On their return to the White Hart, Millbank-street, both men were loudly cheered. The judge, we regret to say, in stepping from the steamer on to a wherry, which was in waiting for him, I slipped and hurt his shoulder very seriously. The race is to be decided on a future day ; due notice to be given. TRAFFIC OVER LONDON-BRlDGE.—Notwithstand ing the extraordinary exertions recently made by the police , to regulate the traffic over London-bridge, so as to prevent " blocks," stoppages are of frequent occurrence, to the great inconvenience of passengers generally, and more especially those who are , hastening to the London •bridge Railway Station. Surprise is often expressed that this should be the case, but this surprise will probably be lessened when it stated that a return made to the Court of Aldermen by Commissioner Harvey, of the traffic over the bridge in 24 hours, ending at 6 p.m. on Thursday, the 17th March last, 9,245 waggon s and carts, 2,430 other vehicles, and .54 horses shows that during that time 4,483 cabs, 4,286 onulibuses , led or ridden—making a total of 20,498, passed ov er the bridge. The passengers in the same period 60,836; on foot, 107,074. Total , 167,910. were, in ve hicles, air ,r 0 de ';et
