The great rise which has taken place in the value of wheat during the last two months has been a strong in ducement to farmers to bring forward supplies ; and the deliveries from the growers have, within the last few weeks, been on a more liberal scale than is usual so shortly after harvest. Various circumstances have combined to lead to this result ; the very early period at which the crop was secured, an•_i the excellent condition in which the greater part of the wheat was carried admitted of its being thrashed without its going through the ordinary pro cess of hardening in the stack. The grain was, in fact, in as fit a state for market immediately after it was carted as in common years it is at Christmas ; and it was capable of being ground with a very small ad mixture of old.

CLARKS PATENT , only ss. per imerial gallon, is bright ' as crystal in the SPERM coldest OIL weather, and lasts lo p nger than real . Sperm. It burns in all descriptions of Argand Lamps. The great expense of Sperm Oil, and the trouble of common oils, can now be dispensed wiih at pleasure. It is admirably suited for Solar Lamps, as they will not want cleaning for years, and being so pure, four gallons go as far as five gallons of any common oils ; so, in reality, Clark's Patent Sperm Oil is cheapest. Families laying in their stock of Spermaceti or Wax Candles, Soaps, &c. &c., will positively save 30 per cent. in their outlay. This is no fiction, and this system of equitable charges the public will support.

Saved To be had at the Patentees, 60, St. 3fartin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, Phe advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have tuado to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL Gas Ftvitill'a•" monly As the cost of l a yi ng on gas is much lower than is com suppow, it is adapt e d f or pr i vate dwellings, as well as for club-houses burne, ho s tels, manuf ac t or i es, and public buildings.

This illustrious philanthropist died at 4 o'clock on Satur day morning last, at his residence;Playford Hall, near this town. He had attained the age' of eighty-six ; but his spirit burned bright to the last, and while he ceased not to direct his thoughts to the great question of the eman cipation of the human race, he calmly looked forward to " the crown of life " laid up in Heaven for the faith ful followers of the cross. He was born at Wisbeach, in Cambridgeshire, March 28,1760. In the life of this great and good man was truly exemplified the saying of the sacred writer—" The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." What a glorious career was that of Thomas Clarkson ! Who can estimate the amount of good which he was instrumental in achieving 1 How much sorrow and woe were not diminished by his undaunted and heroic self devotion ! When Clarkson began hiS labours, England was deeply engaged in the slave trade;— kidnapping. burning, plundering, and ravishing from their lime:- the unhappy Africans. That traffic which is now piracy , by our laws, which Christian Englishman regard as ae atrocious crime, and which ,the head of the Roman Catholic Church has placed under ban, as a deadly sin, was then accounted lawful. Maustealers were not frowned upon by society; and the slavemonger hesitated not to make a boast of his unrighteous gains. Thomas Clarkson was the main instrument employed by God in the suppression of the British slaie trade and in the emancipation of thd slaves in the Weit India Colonies, which was its legitimate consequence. In the year 1772, a negro named Somerset was arrested in London by a man who chimed- him as a runaway slave. Mr. Granville Sharpe brought the case before the Lord Mayor; and by-the Lord Mayor's orders Somerset was discharged from the . Poultry Compter, where he had been imprisoned., The master, however, in defiance of the Lord Mayor, seized the slave and tore him away from Mr. Sharpe. An action was brolight against the master for assault ; and the case being tried, it was finally referred to the tWelve judges ; who, after solemn argument, decided, that. as ,soon es a slave sets foot on English territery, he becomes free:— " Slaves cannot breathe in England : if their kings' Receive our air, that moment they are free. They touch our country and their fetters fall." This circumstance, it may be presumed, powerfully ex cited the youthful mind of Clarkson. In the year 1785 Dr. Peckhard, the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge, pro posed the following question to the senior Bachelors of Arts, as the subject of a Latin prize dissertation—" Is it right to make slaves of others against their will ?" At this time Clarkson was a senior bachelor in the Univer sity ; and, having gained a prize the previeus year, he resolved to enter the lists again as a competitor. While studying the general question of slavery for the purpose of the prize essay, the whole iniquity of the negro slave trade burst upon his view. "It is impossible, he re marked, in his History of Slavery, " to imagine the severe anguish which the composition of this essay cost me. All the pleasure I had promised my self from the literary contest was exchanged for pain, by the astound ing facts that were now continually before me. It was one gloomy subject from morning till night. In the day I was agitated and uneasy ; in the night I had little or no rest. I was so overwhelmed with grief, that I some times never closed my eyes during the whole night, and I no longer regarded my essay as a mere trial for literary distinction. My great desire was now to pro duce a work that should call a vigorous public effort to redress the wrongs of injured Africa." He came to London to make inquiries, and to collect materials. He shortly produced his celebrated essay " Or the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species." de obtained THE RECENT CHARGES AGAINST the prize ; but the inferior motives of the collegian THE AUTHORITIES OF ST.

I n that number the majority contained about 18 directors of the poor. Although the accumulated weight of upwards of four score years pressed heavily upon the shattered ener gies of Mr. Clarkson, so long as life and being lasted his great anxiety was do pod. It was indeed a noble sight to enter his apartment, and see this venerable man with sight impaired, and his once fine frame bowed down by the exertions of added years, still engaged, under much physical suffering, in efforts to lessen the sorrows of the human'raCe. Within the last few months of his death, the cause pf the sailor occupied much of his attention ; the wrongs under which this useful class is suffering deeply mov'ed his heart, and induced him to write a pamphlet and take other steps in their behalf. Indeed, the tones human misery never fell upon his ear with out painfilly affecting his soul, which could not rest satisfied until. .

There are feelings of affectionate veneration connected with the memory of this distinguished man, which will be shared .in by altivhb have heard of Slavery and Clarkson, but which will peculiarly affect those who were privileged to have a personal knowledo of the deceased.

On taking a review of his life we may say, W ell for the world, the love of lleav'n Finds not its limit there ; Its symphonies are sometimes caught, And sweetly echoed here. Clarkson was one of those rare characters, who, in the course of every two or three centuries, are called by Pro vidence from obscurity, to work some stupendous moral change upon the history of an empire, or the human raw at large ; and who can believe nothing impossible, be cause the work which they have to do appears an impos sibility. Our readers will no doubt call to mind the masterly sketch of Clarkson's character by Lord 13rougham in the preface to his Lordship's speeches on the slave trade ; but perhaps the noblest epitaph upon his tomb would be—" Here lies the man who excited Wilberforce to labour for the abolition of the Slave trade." Granville Sharpe and Wilberforce have been honoured with monuments in Westminster Abbey ; and it is not too much to anticipate that a similar tribute of national gratitude will be bestowed on the memory of one greater than either, who laboured more abundantly than all others, by a Ministry, under the auspices of some of whose members the slaves in our West India Colonies were legally disenthralled. the quality caused the new to bring higher terms than were obtainable for the growth of last year, and the former was therefore sold in preference to the latter. Nothing can in our opinion afford a stronger proof of the healthy state of the trade than the fact that pi ices have steadily advanced in the face of such large supplies as have recently been poured into many of the markets in the agricultural districts. In considering the probable future range of quotations, this must not be lost sight of ; and it must be borne in mind that a material falling off in the deliveries from the growers must be ex pected so soon as the preparation of the soil for autumn sowing shall have been fairly commenced. It is true that the millers are now tolerably well stocked; still there ap pears little chance of any permanent re-action taking place in quotations when once the supplies from the farmers de crease. At present there is no prospect of arrivals of consequence from abroad, and holders of the foreign wheat in granary at the different maritime ports are not likely to become more anxious to realise, •now when they are sure of having less competition; and we are, therefore, inclined to believe that the upward move ment will receive no serious cheek. That the •produce of potatoes of the United Kingdom will prove miserably deficient is now regarded as a certainty; and less is consequently said about the matter than was the case when some degree of doubt was supposed to attach to the subject. The failure of iris article of food fully warrants the rise which has already taken place in the value of wheat, end affords sufficient reason to calculate on a further enhancement later in the year ; hence we feel no surprise at the firm tone which the trade has maintained at all the leading markets. The inclination to purchase has rather increased of late than diminished, and higher prices have been obtained towards the close than were realised in the early part of the week. It appears from our Scotch and Irish letters that the potato disease is likely to prove even more sel•ious in those countries than in England. The extra consump tion of flour and meal which must take place, in conse quence of the loss of S 9 great a proportion of the cus tomary food of a large class of the population, will unquestionably diminish the shipments of wheat and oats to the English markets, and we must, therefore, reckon on much smaller receipts of Scotch and Irish produce than in ordinary years. A considerable proportion of the 10,000 qrs. of wheat reported as received during the week got up previous to Nlonday's market, but not in time to be included in the list of arrivals then published; the actual supply coast wise into London has been only moderate since then. The quantity exhibited at Mark-lane by land-carriage samples from the home counties has meanwhile been small; and as the demand has been tolerably active, prices have tended upwards. The few parcels offering on the Essex and Kent stands on Wednesday were held above pre vious prices, and though no quotable advance was estab lished, good qualities could scarcely be brought on as easy terms as in the commencement of the week. On Friday factors displayed increased firmness, and needy buyers were under the necessity of paying the prices demanded, which were in most instances ls. to 2s. per quarter above those current on Monday. The averages are now beginning to exhibit the effect of the late rise ; and the aggregate return for the kingdom having advanced on Thursday last to 48s. 2d., the duty receded to 9s. per quarter. Next week it will probably fall another step, and before the end of November the duty is likely to be at the minimum. There was not much doiug in foreign free wheat in the commence ment of the week ; latterly, however, more inclination to purchase has been shown. Several parcels changed hands on Wednesday at rates not previously obtain able, and the business done on Friday was at an en , hancemement of fully Is. per quarter. Wheat in bond is very scarce, the shipments to France having greatly reduced the stock in warehouse; the certainty of the duty receding to 4s. per qr. in a short space of time has caused holders of the little under lock to raise their pretensions, and the prices asked for bonded have been within 4s. per qr. of what similar qualities would bring free, By the official return just published it appears that there were, on the sth instant, only 47,626 qrs. under lock in the United Kingdom, of which 14,512 qrs. were held in London. THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. We have had several arrivals from America this week by packet-ships, the latest bringing New York advices of the Ist of September. The start in the value of wheat here was not then known there, still prices of flour had rather tended upwards in consequence of a falling off in the supplies. Fair qualities of Western Canal were then held at 4d. 12i 3. per brl., and there were no sellers of prime Genessee wheat below 90c. per bushel. At Philadel phia, on the 21st ult., flour was rather dull of sale, and fair fresh• ground qualities were then obtainable at 3d. 873-e. to 4d. per brl. Old red wheat was then held at 80c. to 82c., and new at 70c. to 75c. per bushel. From Baltimore we have also accounts of the 31st of August. Howard-street flour was then freely offered at 3d. 87 lc. to 3d. 90c. per brl., with but few takers. Wheat had come freely to hand, and prime parcels of red had been sold at 78c. to 80c. per bushel. By our advices from the north of Europe we learn that great excitement had been casued by the advance in the value of wheat in the English markets. From Dantzie we have letters of the 19th of September, which inform us that about 730 lasts of wheat had changed hands there during the week, consisting mostly of secondary and ordinary qualities. For really fine high-mixed parcels extrava gantly high terms had been asked, say 535. to 555. per qr. ; but fine mixed, of 601bs. to 611b5., had been sold at 50s. to 50s. 6d., and ordinary mixed, weighing 591bs. per bushel, at 475. per qr. free on board. The only articles in which any business had been done, besides wheat, had been rye and peas ; the former had found buyers at 395., and the latter at 40s. per qr. The wheat harvest is generally reported to have yielded well in Upper, but indifferently in Lower Poland. The quality of tha Upper Polish wheat is described as very fine, and the weight per bushel unusually heavy. The reports from Rostock relative to the result of the wheat harvest are not favourable : the colour of the new wheat is said to be good, but the weight light, say 591bs. per bushel. No supplies had yet been brought forward, nor was it expected that the farmers would bring forward any quantity till the end of October. Stocks of old wheat were, we are informed, nearly ex hausted, and very little business had, consequently, been done. At Stettin, on the 19th inst., holders hardly knew what prices to ask, and 50s. per qr., free on board, had actually been paid at that port for a parcel of old Uckermark. The high pretensions of sellers had of course checked business, and but few bargains had been closed during the week. Fair supplies of barley had come to hand, and for fine malting qualities 30s. per qr. had been realised. Vessels were then offering to load wheat to the east coast of Great Britain at 2s. to 2s. 3d., to the British Channel at 2s. 9d., to the west coast at 35., and to the east coast of Ireland at 3s. 3d. per qr. From Hamburg we learn that comparatively little business has been done in wheat since the previous post day, in consequence of the very high terms asked. New red Marks of 601bs. weight had, however, been sold at 50s. 9d.; and for 621 b. parcels 535. per quarter free on board had been obtained. There had been few offers from outports, and no contracts had been closed. Barley to be shipped from Danish ports bad, on the other hand, rcet with a good deal of attention, at enhanced rates, as much as 255. to 265. per qr. having been paid for good heavy qualities. In the southern countries of Europe, wheat is even higher than at Baltic ports; and it is quite evident that no supplies of consequence can reach us from the east ward of Gibraltar. A letter from Odessa, of the II th Sept., informs us that upwards of 20,000 chests wheat had been brought there on Italian and Greek account; and that equal to 31s. per qr., free on board, had been paid for the best qualities.—Mark-lane Express. POOLE ' SATURDAY, SEPT. 26.—FUNERAL OF THE LATE W. T. D. TRENCHARD, ESQ.—The remains of the late William Trenchard Dillon Trenchard, Esq., of Lytchett House, in the county of Dorset, were consigned to the family vault of the parish church on Thursday, the 24th inst. The solemn procession left the family residence at twelve o'clock ; in addition to his own rela tives, he was followed by h is numerous tenantry. His loss will be deeply felt by the poor of his neighbourhood. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Rev. Henry Luke Dillon, formerly rector of Lytchett Matravers, grandson of the late Lady Augusta Dillon, and was nearly connected with the noble families of Clanricarde and Clanbrock. He will be succeeded in the estates of Lytchett Matravers, and Child Ockford, by his next brother, Henry Luke Smith Dillon, Esq., who, in obe dience to the will of the late William Trenchard, Ecq., will assume the name and quarter the arms of Trenchard with those of Dillon. • SWIMMING MATCH.—Tuesdayeveningot the Swim ming Baths, Princes•street, two silver medals were con tested for by a great number of swimmers, consisting ex clusively of the frequenters of the baths. The distance to be performed was five times the length of the bath, which was accomplished in gallant style by nearly all the competitors. The victors were Mr. Mullins and Mr. Pegler ; the former having won the first, and the latter the second prize, which was given to them amidst the loud plaudits of the spectators, who appeared to be highly gratified by the interesting exhibition. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY AFTER.NooN. — We have been on the look-out for the Britannia since last night. She is now eleven days out from Halifax, and is hourly ex pected. No intelligence has been heard from the Great Britain to-day. We expect accounts to-morrow morning. WELLINGTON TESTIMONIAL. FURTHER PARTICULARS. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, accom panied by his illustrious sen-in-law, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, was among the earliest to reach Mr. Wyatt's residence. Their Royal Highnesses were received on alighting from their car riage by Mr. Wyatt, sen., Rho conducted them to the studio, from e hich the statue had not at this time been removed. Mr. Wyatt. had the honour of explaining to his illustrious visitors the mode in which the statue \vita secured to the c:.rriage, after examining which their Royal Highnesses returned to Mr. Wyatt's private resi dence, and took up their position on a temporary balcony erected for the express accommodation of the royal party and a select circle of the artist's friends. The Delta of Rutland, the Marquis of Londonderry, the Earl of Cardigan, Sir F. Trench, Mr. John Wi:sen Croker, and Mr. Simpson, were among the members of the committee, early on the spot. The Duke of Rutland came to town from Woburn Abbey expressly to take part in the ceremonial, and Lord Londonderry made the journey from Wynyard for the same purpose. His Royal Highness Prince George, the Countess of Westmoreland, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lord William Lennox, Sir John Beckett, Mr. George Womb well, Mrs, Milner Gibson, and a very numerous circle of fashionables, were among those who occupied seats on Mr. Wyatt's balcony. The roof of the same gentleman's house was also crowded with spectators, who had been fortunate enough to obtain invitations. At half-past nine o'clock the military appointed to take part in the proceedings of the day arrived on the spot. These included the 2d Life Guards, under the command of Colonel Williams ; the Grenadier Guards, under the command of Colonel Home, and two com panies of the Fusilier Guards and Coldstream Guards, under the command of their respective officers. A strong body of police, under Mr. Superintendent Hughes, were in attendance to preserve order ; while Inspectors Shackell and Haynes, with a detachment of the detective force, proved a wholesome check on the depredations of the light-fingered gentry. Precisely at ten o'clock, everything being in readi ness, the statue was drawn from the interior of Mr. Wyatt's premises into the Harrow-road. This operation was accomplished by the united exertions of 100 men belonging to the Fusilier Guards. The egress of the statue to the public thoroughfare was greeted with tu multuous cheering from the spectators. For a moment some anxiety was felt as to the safety of the colossal work, its enormous weight having caused one of the wheels of the carriage to sink some three or four inches into the ground. By active and well-directed exertions this difficulty was soon overcome, and the carriage shortly afterwards brought to a position in which the horses appointed to drag it to its destination could be conveniently attached. Mr. Goding, the eminent brewer, solicited the honour of being allowed to supply the horses required, and his offer was accepted by Mr. Wyatt. The animals, twenty-nine in number, arrived at Dudley grove shortly after nine o'clock on Tuesday morning. Their appear ance excited universal admiration, and certainly a finer or better matched stud could not have been found in Lon don. They were severally decorated with branches of laurel, and attended by fourteen dreymen, all similarly attired in the costume by long consent peculiar to this sturdy class of individuals. The work of attaching the horses to the carriage, and " preparing for the start," was somewhat tedious, ex tending over nearly two hours. So great, however, was the interest excited by the statue, which now stood boldly forth in all its dazzling brilliancy, that not a single manifestation of impatience escaped the specta tors. The general feeling, so faras could be gathered from the expression of the crowd, seemed to be one of profound admiration and astonishment at the colossal proportions of the work. The interval during which the carriage remained sta tionary was well occupied by a gentleman whose talents have made him familiar with a very large circle of the public, viz., M. Claudet. This gentleman, from the balcony of the Dudley Arms Tavern, which imme diately faces Mr. Wyatt's studio, made a variety of interesting pictures of the scene by his Daguerreotype process. A somewhat painful feeling of anxiety prevailed among the more immediate spectators as the moment carriageapproached with to t i e ts s t locomotiveenormous e rmous burd en. powers been moved inch by inch with the windlass. Now the more effective, though less controllable power of horses was to be applied, and it was impossible to divest the mind of some apprehension as to the result. At length, at twelve o'clock precisely, all being in readiness, Mr. Wyatt, who occupied a position in the front of the carriage (without offence be it spoken, look ing a most Lilliputian personage by the side of his own colossal creation), gave the signal to proceed, and the procession, having been previously marshalled, moved in the following order:— Vidette of the 2d Life Guards. The Band of the same Regiment. Trumpeter. Two troops of the Life Guards. A body of pioneers belonging to the Fusilier Guards. The carriage bearing the Statue, Drawn by twenty-nine horses, three abreast, And escorted by a troop of 20 Life Guardsmen on either side, under the command of Captain F. M. Martyn. Immediately in the rear of the statue were a body of riggers from Woolwich Dockycrd, who were succeeded by 100 men of the Fusilier Guards in fatigue dress, the latter being in attendance to hold on by ropes attached to the rear of the carriage, in case of necessity. The band of the Fusilier Guards. One hundred of the Fusilier Guards in parade dress. The band of the Grenadier Guards. Two hundred of the Grenadier Guards in parade dress. The band of the Coldstream Guards. One hundred of the Coldstream Guards in parade dress. The procession closed with a troop of the 2d Life Guards. It was originally intended that the members of the committee should have taken part in the procession, but this portion of the arrangements, from some reason or other, was ultimately not carried out. The first movement of the ponderous vehicle was suffi cient to set at rest all fears which might have been pre viously entertained on the subject. Nothing could pos sibly exceed the admirable manner in which it glided with almost imperceptible motion, frcai its position on the railway-bridge to the front of Mr. Wyatt's resi dence, a distance of about three hundred yards, where it was again brought to stand for the purpose of allow ing the favoured few a last opportunity of admiring its beauties. The passage of the statue thus far was greeted with a simultaneous shout from the spectators, which made the " welkin ring," while the ladies who thronged the win dows and roofs of the houses in the vicinity, as far as the eye could reach, gave vent to their feelings by waving handkerchiefs and other equally gratifying demon strations. Never, perhaps, was popular enthusiasm more unanimously exhibited, and the occurrence of any mis chance would certainly have been looked upon as a national misfortune. At ten minutes past twelve the procession again moved, the band of each regiment playing the "British Grena diers" in quick time. Nothing occurred to impede the progress of the statue on its way through Paddington churchyard into the Edgware-road. The curves which here and there oc curred were made without the slightest difficulty by the carriage, and no stoppage took place until the statue arrived at that point of the Edgware-road where Upper Seymour-street intersects it. Here a short pause was absolutely necessary, to give the animals breathing time, and (if our eyes deceived us not) the drivers a draught of beer. Again in motion, the next stoppage was occasioned by the accidental lock of one of the off wheels against a post in the centre of the crossing of the junction of Oxford street and the Edgware-road. This difficulty was soon overcome, and the procession moved without any fur ther interruption across Oxford-street and down Park lane, until it arrived opposite Dudley House, where the breakage of one of the shafts attached to the carriage occasioned a considerable delay. The transit so far had been accomplished with much less difficulty than even the most sanguine had antici pated. Scarcely half an hour had elapsed from the period of leaving Dudley-grove, and more than half the distance was traversed. The remaining moiety, it is true, was of a more difficult character, but where all had progressed so satisfactorily there could be little to fear. The injury to the carriage repaired, the proces sion again moved on, amid the inspiriting strains of mar tial music and the cheers of the populace. The sharp turning out of Park-lane into Piccadilly, which had all along been looked upon as the most dan gerous portion of the journey, was made in the most masterly manner, and the horses laying to their work in good earnest, brought the carriage opposite the end of Hamilton-place, in first-rate style. Here another delay of some duration took place, owing to the fracture of a second shaft (there were five to the carriage in all), in turning the corner of Park-lane. The approach of the statue was observed from the balcony of Apsley House by a royal and distinguished party, among whom we observed her Majesty the Queen Dowager, her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklinburg-Strelitz, his Serene Highness Prince Frederick of Hesse, his !loyal Highness Prince George, her Royal Highness Princess Mary, the Earl Howe, the Countess of Westmoreland, the Marchioness of Worcester, Viscount Strangford, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Sir Andrew Barnard, the Right Hon. H. Pierrepont, Mr. Culling C. Smith, Mr. Hardwick, Lord Charles Wellesley, and the follow- lag members of the committee:—The Duke of Rutland, the Earl of Cardigan, Sir Frederick Trench, Mr. Wilson Croker, Mr. Simpson, &c. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, with her Royer Highness the Princess of Prussia, the Countess of West moreland, and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, formed a group at the extreme western end of the balcony. Lord Charles Wellesley was in attendance on her Majesty. Both the Queen and her illustrieus relative manifested the greatest interest in the scene, and after the statue had been brought opposite the arch, her Majesty requested Mr. Hardwick to inquire of Mr. Wyatt whether there was a probability of its being elevated during the afternoon, as in that event she should wish to remain and observe the ceremony. It being considered unadvisable to commence the pro fen of elevation on Tuesday, Mr, Hardwick communicated AQUATICS, The scullers' contest - between W. Bromley, of tho Lower Watergate. Deptford, and H. Cox, of the Cpper Watergate, took place on Tuesday. The race, which was for 101. aside, and the honorary distinction of champion. of Deptford, has been the theme of conversation in the neighbourhood for some time past, and was looked for ward to with some anxiety by those who speculated uFoa the result. The distance selected to test the powers of the men, although not uncommon iti.:-below-bridge matches, is certainly most unusual in those above, ex tending from the Halfway House up to the Dreadnought, a course of something like eleven miles. Bettinc , had been almost even, Cox slightly in some circles having the call. The Flirt steamer, which had been chartered' to accompany the race, was filled with respectable com ehvleararielsc u h t a t e v r i n s g an b d e e o n th e e r d boats i w t e h r e e also men oat It was a capital start, both being away at the sane mu - P p ra e h a ne :d par a ne t ldi t ms he station a few minutes before four o'clock.. ment, and at a very dashing pace. In the course of a. few strokes Cox took the lead, closely followed by his opponent. Mile after mile they were rowing at great sp.:ed with but little difference between them, and as they passed the lower part of Woolwich Arsenal Bromley gradually drew up to his opponent, and some very fine plucky rowing on both sides resulted in Bromley shortly passing . him. Cox made a smart spurt to regain his place, but Bromley went stroke by stroke further away from him, and won by 80 or 100 yards. ROWING . MATCH FOR TWO PAIRS OF SILVER. OARS. A very spirited contest took place on Monday for two pairs of silver oars, presented by Messrs. Cownden and Wentzell, the boat builders, to the frequenters of their establishment. Notwithstanding the gloomy and unfavourable state of the weather, there was a very large assemblage of spectators, and the sport appeared to afford much gratification. The row was in three heats, with eight pairs of oars. 1' list ileat. Messrs. Blenkhar and Price (White) I Thomas and Hawes (Stripe) 2 J. Price and Lawson _ (Pink) 0 The distance was from the Ship, Fore-street, Lambeth, up round a boat moored off Nine Elms, down round a boat op posite the Messrs.

FOOT HURDLE RACE, &C., AT WALIVORTIT.—A consider able muster of the patrons and admirers of pedestrian per formances assembled on Monday at the Bee live Ground, to witness the competition for the several prizes announced by advertisement :-1. A silver tankard, value 251., to be tun for, distance 440 yards, and the men to leap fifteen hurdles. 2. A silver snuff-box to the victor in a six-mile walking match. 3. A sweepstakes of 11., with 5/. added, for a 440- yard fiat race. 4. A prize for the best running jump in length. The snuff-box was first contested, nine men coming to the post, James Brian, Benjamin Wright, Charles Bee's Novice, Taylor (of Oldham), Stedman (of Epson ), and four others. OP these last we shall merely observe that the pace was so much too good for them that they quickly fell out of the match, which concluded by Wright coming in first by a trifling lead, Brian second, Bee's Novice third, Taylor fourth, and Stedman filth. It being, however, decided that Wright had broken from a walk to a run at the coming in, the prz,.; was adjudged to James Brian. Stedman, it was thought. by many, lost from over-confidence, as he actually walked in his ordinary trousers (thick cord ones) and laced boots! The speed was good, the six miles (short ones we suspect) being covered by the winner in fifty-three minutes. The hurdle race for the tankard followed, and was one by James Patter son, who beat Jenkinson (the London Stag), and George Martin. The Stag, when leading, had the misfortune to stake himself at the tenth hurdle, and injure his thigh so as to throw his chance entirely out. The flat race fcr a sweep stakes did not fill. Makepeace and Patterson next con tended for the running jump. Patterson set Makepeaee 17ft. 10in., which he tied. The little one then cleared Mt. Sin., of which Makepeace fell short, and the prize was ad judged to Patterson. PUGILISM. JAMES SCULLEY AND JOSEPH DPGEE.—These sprigs of Southwark and Pimlico met on Tuesday, near llorley, on the Brighton line, to decide their claim to fifty so‘ l!•• reigns, duly deposited, and the laurel of victory. A shift took place, at the recommendation of a landowner, who desired them to choose a more retired ground, and and this was readily complied with—a proof of the order and good behaviour which characterised the motley assemblage. After a long mile of tramping across ploughed fields and winter turnips, a commodious pieco of waste land presented itself, and here the commissary pro tem. pitched his mc4eriel, and at a little before one o'clock the men were in position. A bin f notice of the battle must suffice. M'Gee, who looked all his friends could wish, fought wildly and without precision, while his antagonist, with superior game and steadiness, met his hasty and ill-judged onslaughts, and after punishing his rashness, stood erect at the close of almost every round. M•Gee, on the contrary, when foiled in his rush, dropped repeatedly, and several times in a manna. so questionable, as to call for a public caution from the referee. Finally, in the 64th round, his getting down from a mere feint of Sculley's right (which had just before rudely visited his ribs) was so palpable that. it was declared " foul," and Sculley adjudged to have Won the fight. Time, 1 hour and 38 minutes. THE GREAT WESTERN IIAILWAY.-01 1 Tuesday night the passenger train from Exeter en route to Lon don, which should have reached Slough at ten minutes before ten o'clock, did not arrive until twenty minutes to twelve o'clock, owing to the engine tender being . sup plied with coke of an inferior description ; so miserably deficient was the locomotive power, that for some time previous to the arrival at the Slough station, the velocity of the train did not exceed more than six miles an hour. Fresh coke was taken in at Slough, and with the view of pulling up lost time, the engine, under full pressure of steam, proceeded with such awful rapidity as to cause an unpleasant oscillation, and create considerable alarm among the passengers. It was ten minutes past twelve o'clock before the train reached London. NEW MARKET IN LAMBETH.—In the course of a few days a market on a most extensive scale will be opened in the Westminster-road, at the end of the Nee.- cut, for the sale of merchandise and provisions of every description. THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER.—OH Monday evening a meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of adoptin g a national petition for the enactment of the People's Charter, which was very numerously attended. The meeting was a ddressed by Mr. F. O'Connor, Mr. M‘Grath, Mr. Barney, Mr. E. Jones, Mr. O'Cavanagh, Mr. Marriott. and others, and resolutions were passed expressive of the opinion of the meeting that the elective fracbiso should be extended to every male adult of mature ago and sound mind; that the rights of equal representation were embodied in the People's Charter, and that a na tional petition should be presented to Parliament pray ing that that document should be made a statute of the realm; and also that, in order to strengthen the friends of the charter in Parliament, the principles and objects of election and registration committees should be recog nised and supported. The national petition was also agreed to. It declares the protection of life, the security of property, and the diffusion of education and morality and happiness among all classes, to be the end of all government ; the repre sentation in Parliament of every man of sound mind as his right ; that the Reform Bill is unjust as restricting the rights of citizenship to one-seventh of the male adult community; that the present representa tive system is based upon class selfishness, prejudices, and contracted views of humanity; and that the elective franchise is a right inherent in every man. It also prays for universal suffrage, vote by ballot, the division of the A supplementary the country into equal elec toral districts, each with one ifiatiore presentative, the payment of Members, the substitution of annual for septe nnial Parlianients, and the abolition relief oft he resolution distrcs i was proposed by Mr. F. O'Connor, to the effect that the Government should be called on to raise ten millions o f sterling propertyby Exchequer - bills, qualcn for in Ireland, to be called the Church Restoration Fund, the interest and repayment of which should be payable from tithes, and by bi s h o p s an d o th e r dignitaries, par sons, and oth e r sa l ar i e d o ffi cers o f th e St a t e Ch u r c h, and the sum to be applied for the purchase of land in Ire land, and the location of the Irish people upon it, at its present value. It was agreed that this resolution should be published in the Nation, Freeman's Journal, and the World newspapers. The meeting separated at a Into hove. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S SOCIETY.-011 Tuesday quarterly general court of the President and Governors of the Corporation for the Relief and Support of Dis abled Seamen, and the widows and children of such as have perished in the merchant service, was held at the offices of the corporation, No. 25, Birchin-lane, Corn hill; B. Benson, Esq., in the chair. The report read by W. Watson, Esq., was of the most satisfactory nature, and the other business, for which the court was called, having been transacted, the required, relief ,was given to considerably upwards of fifty applicants, and the meeting separated, with a vote of acknowledgment to the chtvirman.
