BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raises, and its true source in every instance disclosed, In how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conseouence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, han any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequexces, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of iiscasc, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the i.oedical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal sL q i u l a n, a pt ttuTi phaursuits, at a bt t tha h ei n e e du i t s met the es t t i t h l ci e go di efl o sdt msnteeeede shouldc a l a h n o d n r o e bu s er p s e , ee as it e l n hni sd h p. p r o o mp f e as ~ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a 4narantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost to the treatment of these diseases.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em water the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea tf caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un zornprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, mg broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set dement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Wilde appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Hunter, for the defendants. It appeared in evidence, that on the 27th January, 1848, the defendants and a third gentleman dined to gether at the above-named rooms, and that they re mained there until nearly eleven o'clock. The bill was then called for, and when brought up was found to amount to 1/. 4-% 7d. Some amicable discussion then ensued betwee❑ the defendants as to which of them should pay the bill, and Mr. Richardson placed a sovereign, and Mr. 'Popham half a sovereign on the table for that purpose. At the same time Mr. 'Popham asked the plaintiff to give him change for a sovereign, which he also produced and placed on a book that was lying on the table. The plaintiff having taken for the bill out of the first sove reign and half sovereign, Mr. Topham reminded her that she had not given him change for the sovereign he had placed on the books, and which had been removed, but she replied that he had not given her the sovereign. Mr. Topham, however, insisted that he had placed the sove reign on the book, and that the plaintiff had taken it; and after some altercation, Mr. Kennan, the landlord, and afterwards a policeman who was on duty at the time, were called in and informed of the dispute be tween the parties. The policeman procured can• tiles and diligently searched the floor for the missing sovereign, but without finding it. Mr. Topham then accused the plaintiff of having it in her pockets, and said that he would have her searched. She replied that he had better first count his money, and see if it was not in his own pockets ; and it was stated that he did put his hand in his pocket, but with drew it, saying, it was of no use, for he did not know how many sovereigns he had. The plaintiff then said, she could prove what she ought to have, that she began the day with I/. 3s. Bd. in her pockets, and that includ ing what they had just paid her, she ought to have 61. 2s. Bd., as might be proved by the cheques she had given her employer, and a small additional sum arising from the perquisites that had been given to her. Mr. Kennan then stated to the defendants that the plaintiff was a person of respectability, and that he had cheques for all the monies she had taken from his customers that day. The defendants, how ever, were not satisfied, and Mr. Richardson sent for another policeman. This policeman asked Mr. Topham if ho saw the plaintiff take up the sovereign ; to which he replied that he did not. Mr. Richardson and the other party also admitted that they did not see her take it. The defendants then told the police men to take the plaintiff to the station-house, and a female having fetched the plaintiff's bonnet and shawl, Mr. Richardson told the policemen that he was a county magistrate, that he knew what their duty was, and would see that the plaintiff was well watched; and accordingly one of the policemen was directed to walk with the plaintiff to the station-house in Fleet-street, and the other to walk behind her and see that she did not drop anything. In this manner the parties went to the station-house, where a police-sergeant having in quired into the transaction and ascertained that the plaintiff had not been seen to take up the sovereign, cautioned the defendants that the evidence was not such as would warrant a commitment. Mr. Topham then said lie would not press the charge, as per haps she would regret in the morning what she had done over night, to which the plaintiff, who, as well as the defendants, had now become very angry, replied, " No, fellow, I have nothing to reflect on— I am innocent of the charge, and now you have brought me here I insist upon going before a magistrate to clear my character." Mr. Richardson then said, " Then, Topham, I would press the charge," and a charge of felony was accordingly formally preferred against the plaintiff and signed by Mr. Topham. The plaintiff was then searched, and some money and a little account-book found in her pockets, which only served to verify her assertions. She was then locked up for the night, and taken the next morning before a magistrate, when Mr. Topham, departing from his statement on the previous evening, deposed that he had seen the plaintiff take up the sovereign. The magistrate, however, having taken the depositions of the defendants, of their compa nion, and of the policemen, dismissed the charge as one not sufficiently supported by the evidence. To prove special damage a friend of the plaintiff was called, who deposed that she came to his house two days afterwards, crying, and in such a " deplorable, desponding state," that he was alarmed and sent for a medical attendant, and that she did not sleep for several nights afterwards The surgeon was also called, and stated that he at tended the plaintiff for eight days, during which she suffered much from bodily disease, the effect of mental disorder. His charge for attendance was 17s. An at torney also proved that the plaintiff had paid him two guineas for attending for her before the magistrate. This being the plaintiff's case, Mr. WATSDN, for the defendants, admitted that, as respected Mr. Topham, the jury must find a verdict for the plaintiff, but urged that as that gentleman. had acted bona tide and in the belief that the plaintiff was guilty of the charge he made against her, he ought not to be called upon to pay heavy damages. With respect to Mr. Richardson, he submitted there was no proof that he had given the plaintiff into custody ; and, conse• fluently, although he had approved of its being done, and even recommended it, he was not liable to the present action. Lord DEN3tAN summed up strongly in favour of the plaintiff, observing, that as respected Mr. Topham, the offer he made was only upon condition the plaintiff would confess herself guilty of felony, and consequently one that ought not to have been accepted. As respected Mr. Richardson, the jury should consider whether he had not taken upon himself to act in the matter by call ing in the second policeman, and recommending the charge to be pressed, in which case he would have made himself liable. The charge appeared to be altogether unfounded, and therefore the plaintiff was entitled to full but temperate compensation. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 1501. damages, and V. 175., the amount she bad paid the surgeon and attorney. PREROGATIVE COURT, July 7. DRAIN AND EDMUNDS V. BAKER.—JUDGIVENT. Judgment in the following case was given by Sir 11. .Tenner Fust on the 28th ult. It was argued before the Court at the Hilary Term. It appeared that the tes tator, Mr. William Brain, began life with very small means; but, aided by his uncle, a Mr. Baker, of Shrews bury, who advanced him 6001. to purchase the stock from the widow of a Mr. Jeffries, who had carried on the trade of a brazier in that town, he was able by his industry and honesty, to accumulate a large sum of money, estimated at 32,000 L I n consequence of this ac t of generosity on the part of his uncle, he was in the habit of frequently expressing his gratitude to wards erecting d t n g o expense nurn e n of the, him, stating that he owed everything to him.. On and stated to his two nephews , Mr. John and Mr. Edward Baker, that now their father was dead they funeral d ra e l m , i also o thei hi s must look to him for assista n c e, for their mother s o f scharge uncle forhe the were branches 6 the of had enough in the younger ones, t and he e allowed ue them 2001. a year while they fre quently made presents to to Mr. J. Baker, upon hi s d ecease , w i t h man y o ther acts of parental family. He purchased two estates, younger (Trie of which he pro mised to Mr. E. Baker, and the other kind ness and watchfuln e s s over them and their families, for d will, he liv e d to t h e a d vanced age o f 78 appeared that It appe that on the 234 S eptem b er, 1844, he executed his bequeathi ng t h e b ulk of his property to the Bakers, and _ only a sm a ll port i on to his nearer re l ations , his sister's children, for which it appeared he was often reproved by his neighbours, when his reply was, " I cannot please you all, so I shall please myself. I owe all I possess to my uncle, and to his family i it shall return." It appeared that in D ecem b er , 18 44, he was taken ill, and t was set up by these relations, a Mr. Brain and a Mr. Edwards, that he had revoked the will, bearing date the 22d Sep tember, and made one dated the 26th December, in favour of hi s s i s t er ' s c hild ren and others,to the exclusion of the Bakers. The parties :now came to the court to have this will propounded, and sought for probate, The Learned Judge, in his elaborate judgment, said it was impossible to conceive that a man like the testator, who was distinguished through a long life of industry for his iategrity, should, at the close of that life, act the part of a hypocrite, and leave the Bakers, without any cause being assigned for his so doing, out of his will. There was a great deal of mystery in the way in which the second will was obtained. It appeared that his niece, a Mrs. Edmonds, with her husband, had the whole management, though it was stated that it was read over to the testator before it was attested. It was dated the 26th of December, 1844, and not signed, but a mark placed in its stead, it being asserted that he was incapable of signing his name, though he had done so only a few days previously. It was impossible for the Court to be reconciled to the belief that he would de ceive the Bakers whom he had always spoken of as his executors. It was said on th e ot h er side, if the Court pronounced against the latter will, it would charge the parties who wished to propound it with fraud and forgery; this the Court did not entertain. The Court felt strongly on this question, and must say it felt that that the testator did not depart from the will he exe cuted on the 23d of September, 1844. It therefore pro . flounced for it, and against that of the 26th of December, 1844, and grants probate to Priscilla Baker. The proctor wished the Court to give power to the executors, who had renounced under the will, to retract their renunciation. The Learned JUDGE said he could not under the cir cumstances grant the application. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of Canada, and for the Governors of the other North: American Colonies. Dispatches were also sent off last evening from the Co lonial• office for the Governors of Ceylon and Hong-Kong. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF FORGERY AND FRAUD.—James Grieves, alias George Benson, was brought up for re-examination. charged with having committed various frauds; and with having committed forgery. The first charge, that of fraud, was taken yesterday. Mr. Charles Brickwell, farmer, Overthorpe Lodge, near Banbury, said on the 7th October he received by post a letter which he now produced. In consequence of this letter witness came to town, and had an inter view with the prisoner on the following Wednesday, at No. 1, Swallow street. He stated to witness that ht• was a cheesemonger, residing in lligh-street, Wool wich, and that he held a situation at Paddington which brought him 1501. a year. The prisoner then began talking about giving witness an order for butter; and witness asked him for a reference. The pri goner referred witness to the London and West minster Bank, where he said he had an account. Witness believed the representations of the prisoner, and on the 16th of October, witness forwarded to the pri soner's address 631bs. of butter, worth 41. The butter was directed to James Grieves, Bell-inn, Warwick-lane. On the 20th of October, witness forwarded as before 641bs. of butter, worth 41. 135.; on the 23d October, wit ness forwarded 471bs. of butter, worth 3/. 165.; and on the 27th of October, 691bs. of butter, worth 4/. Bs. Bd. Witness afterwards sent some more butter and a quantity of pork and poultry. Witness supplied these goods on the faith of the prisoner's own representations. Witness had since made inquiries at High -street, Woolwich, and had been unable to find any one of the name of Grieves, who carried on the business of a cheesemonger. Wit ness afterwards received two letters from the prisoner, which he now produced. Witness also heard the prisoner admit having obtained all the above goods from him under false pretences. George Cowper, agent to Thomas Golby, carrier, pro duced seven delivery orders, signed " James Grieves," and proved that the goods sent by Mr. Brickwell were delivered on the production of those orders. The prisoner admitted the charge, and was fully com mitted on it. The case of forgery was postponed in order to produce additional evidence. WORSHIP-STREET. THE MURDER IN SPITALFIELD3.—The young man assuming the name of George Hart, but whose real name has been ascertained to be Thomas Evans, who stood charged upon his own confession with having been ac cessory to the murder of the child Henry Lazarus, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold fur final exami nation. Information having been given to the magistrate which satisfied him that the self accusation made by the prisoner was the mere result of some strange hallucina tion, the young man was discharged with an admonition as to the public inconvenience and the probable frustra tion of justice which his stupidity had occasioned. THE SPITALFIELDS'BALL. The ball which was given last night at Drury-lane Theatre for the benefit of the School of Design drew a most numerous and brilliant throng. At ten o'clock a double row of carriages extended from the entrance in Brydges-street to the corner of Leicester-square. The coup cf cell inside the theatre was magnificent. The pit and stage formed the ball-room, at the back of which a splendid orchestra was erected for M. Jullien's band. The pillars of the boxes were adorned with fes toons of flowers and artificial parterres were placed about the stage as at the promenade concerts. The boxes were appropriated to spectators, and the only public entrance to the ball-room was through the centre of the ground tier. The steps leading from this entrance soon became crowded, which occasioned some inconvenience. The ball-room itself was completely thronged with spectators, leaving a comparatively limited space for the dancers. The fancy dresses on this occasion were intended to give effect to the Marchioness of Londonderry's qua drille, which opened the evening, and from which all but fancy costumes were excluded. The dancers entered the room two and two in regular procession, as indicated in a printed paper. They represented various royal and noble personages in the history of England, from the time of William the Conqueror to that of Queen Anne, and the procession was regulated by chronological order. The appearance of their rich and varied costumes, amid the crowd of fashionably dressed spectators, from whom they were only separated by a cord held by a number of gentlemen and ladies, was most striking. Among the patrons of this magnificent assembly was her Ma jesty, and the most distinguished members of the aris tocracy. 'I he large saloon of the theatre was made into a re freshment-room for the occasion. The indefatigable M. Soyer availed himself of the opportunity to introduce to the public the new beverage, to which he gives the name of "nectar," and which was in great request among the visitors. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL. The forty-sec - md anniversary dinner of the friend> and patrons of this school was held at the White Con duit Tavern, Pentonville, on Thur>day afternoon, when about 1,000 gentlemen connected with the trade mus tered to do honour to the occasion, and a large number of ladies also assembled to render this deserving institu tion their valuable countenance and support. the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, and was supported by Mr. Under-Sheriff Wire, J. K. Cooper, Esq., J. H. Child, Esq., Charles Bleadtn, Esq., and a large number of the governors and other office-bearers of the Licensed Victuallers' Society. The pavilion in which the festival took place was appropriately fitted up and garnished for the occasion, and the accommodation afforded for the vast number who partook of the banquet merited high commendation, as did also the quality of the viands and wines. Au excellent band of instrumental muiicians, and a strong and efficient choir of vocalists, enlivened and enhanced the entertainment. The customary pre liminary toasts having been effectively given from the chair, and heartily respnided to, the boys and girls of the school were introduced. and took up their position right and left of the Lord Mayor. His LORDSHIP, in prefacing the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Licensed Victuallers' School," re marked that at present the number of scholars receiving the benefits of its instruction was rather below the average. In past times there had been as many as 160 children thus privileged, but now there were only 112; and he (the Chairman) saw no reason why they should not by a little extra effort on the present occasion, and notwithstanding the pressure of the times, enable the committee to increase that number to 130 or 140. (Cheers.) That school had attained a very distinguished position among the educational establishments of the metropolis, and its internal management and entire arrangements in every respect for the training of youth rendered it a model worthy to be imitated by similar institutions. He said this advisedly, for he had inspected its working the other day in company with the Lady Mayoress. lie pointed to the chil dren on either side of him as proofs of the value of the institution, and made an able appeal to the company present for continued and increased sup port to its funds, impressed upon them the fact that apart from its being a noble work of charity, to render it their aid and encouragement,) such efforts also simul taneously laid that broad, solid, and only durable foundation for all social order and prosperity which con sisted in the intelligence, the virtue, and piety of a country's population. Two of the senior boys then delivered an address, in culcating sentiments of philanthropy and charity; after which the whole of the boys and girls sang a hymn, and then retired. It was a truly gratifying sight to witness their neat, healthy, and intelligent appearance, present ing as it did the most telling arguments--- ,, li v i ng epistles," as it were—in favour of an institution which affords an asylum, as well as useful and religious in struction, for youth of both sexes, who would other wise be p ro b a bl y l e f t " d est i tute , uncultured, and un tended." The SECRETARY (Mr. Smalley) read a list of sub scriptions in behalf the charity, at the head of which were—The Lord Mayor for 20 guineas, and the Lady Mayoress, 10 guineas ; Sir A. Rothschild, 10 guineas ; Baron L. Rothschild, 10 guineas, 8.. c. ; and st a t e d t h at 1,6981. had been collected for the insti tution this year, while about 2,000/. had been raised during the preceding year. Mr. Under-Sheriff Wing proposed " The health of the Lord Mayor," which was drunk with «all the honours," and duly acknowledged. The like compli ment was then paid to the Governors and Committee of variety of other t oasts, t h e c ompany separated,. the School, fbr which Mr. Jones r eturned th an k s; an d , after " doing justice" to a highly satisfied w i t h the day's pro ceedings. , CANADIAN PRODUCE.—The 80Ip Great Brit a i n arrived in the Docks from Quebec and Montreal, has brought 200 barrels of flour and various other articles of food ; the vessel Montreal fro m the sam e ports, 4,0°5 barrels of flour, and 25 barrels of pork. Th e Si r o 5 Richard Jackson , fro m Montreal, 3,3 - barrels of flour, and 3,256 bushels of peas ; and the Britannia from Que bec, 1,150 barrels l of f l o ur, an d from Montreal 2,400 barrels of flour, and 180 bags of p eas, of Canadian pro duce. These large arrivals of grain and meal food arc the first this season from British North America, and are of interest and importance. FATAL COAL PIT ACCIDENT—AVEDNESIIURY, FRIDAY.—An accident, which terminated the life of a collier named Messrs. Walker Joandseph ComVernon,y in an in i n th e p i ts o f p the nei g hb our h oo d o f this town, between seven and eight o'clock are in this last night. .quently It was occasioned, as accidents so frc neighbourhood, by sulphur coining u , contact with a naked candle. Several other workmen were severely burnt. An inquest will be held to-morrow. THE SUGAR DUTIES. — The duty of 20s. on foreign muscovado sugar, under the old law, •919. t 4' 99 yesterday to 18s. 6d., and the new law not having come into opera tion, merchants have paid the duties "Pon nearly all the stock of sugar in the port of London in order to avoid the discriminative duty between clayed brown and mus covado of Is. 6d. The operation will put somewhere about 20,0001. into the pockets of the merchants at the expense of the revenue. The new standard samples are viewed with great indignation by th ose connected with foreign sugar, as being preposterously low,—Shipping Gazette. JULY 8 , 1848. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY.

The success that has attended the exertions of the committee since the first establishment of this regatta, illustrates the fact that where men set to work in down right earnest, there is scarcely anything they cannot achieve. This meeting has been considered for some time past one of the greatest in the kingdom. The weather, contrary to many years past, on the occasion of this aquatic meeting, was remarkably fine, and the attendance of company greater than on any former year. The Grand Stand and the bridge were thronged with the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood, and thousandi of persons congregated on the towing -path and in the meadows on the Berks side of the Thames. The sport commenced at half-past two, and continued until nearly eight o'clock. DIAMOND SCULLS. First Heat. Mr. G. P. Harpour, Richmond Mr. W. Coulthard, St. George's Club, London They were close together for a short distance. At Reminham the winner had a good lead, and although his opponent put on a very plucky spurt both here and at the Poplars, ho was unable to overhaul him. Won by two lengths. Second Heat. Mr. W. Wilberforce, Oxford University Boat Club 1 Mr. W. Hope, Wadham College, Oxford 0 It was a close contest, and won by scarcely a length. They were scull and scull for some distance. Third Hoot. Mr. T. Bone, London 1 Mr. J. Walmsly, Thames Club, London Mr. Waleasly immediately took the lead, which he retained for about 300 yards, when Mr. Bone fairly rowed up to him. A must determined struggle ensued, in the course of which the gentlemen took one another's water. Mr. Bone drew gallantly ahead of his opponent, who, in the heat of the race, pressed Mr. Bone, who was as near the shore as he well could be, so closely, that he fouled him, in consequence of which Mr. Bone was of course declared the winner. leoui4h Heat. Mr. W. L. Bagshawe, Trinity College, Cambridge 1 Mr. T. Small, London Mr. Bagshawe won easily. Mr. Small increased the length of his distance by bad steerage. Fifth Heat. Mr. Wilberforce Mr. Harpour 0 Almost immediately after the start Mr. Harpour was going ahead, and in doing so fouled Mr. Wilberforce. The latter was consequently declared the winner. Sixth Heat. Mr. Bagshawe 1 Mr. Bone ................ They made a capital start. Bagshawe, after a few strokes, gradually took the lead, and ultimately won by four or five lengths, his opponent in the course of the distance being retarded by catching the shore with one of his sculls. PAIR OARED RACE FOR THE SILVER WHERRIES Messrs. A. Thompson and 13. Johnson, Christchurch, Oxford Messrs. S. Wallace and S. D. Druce, Thames Club 0 Immediately after the start Wallace and his partner went slightly in advance, and being too anxious to take their adversaries water, fouled them. The Oxford pair were consequently declared the winners. RACE FOR MAX EPEACE'S WHERRY, for Amateurs rest. dent within 12 miles of Henley. First Heat. Mr. Sart-eant. Henley . ............................... 1 Mr. E. G. Green , Henley ................................. 0 Nfr. J. Cocks, Reading .............................. /, was a goo d race f or some distance, when. Sergeant who rowed, as usual, extremely well, went right away and won by ten or a dozen lengths easily. Green was second, and the Reading man never stood a shadow of a chance. Mr. E. Besley, Henle y econd Heat. Mr. A. Ire, H en l ey 1 0 Won by a lentil. EMIT OARED CUTTER RACE FOR THE LADIES FULTZ, Messrs. H. W. P. Richards, lOst 41bs; C. B. Thomp son, lOst 41b; J. Rich, lOst 41b; E. J. Henderson, lOst 71b; A. Mansfield, list 101 b; A. P. An struther, I Ist; 13.13. Johhson, 1 Ist; W. Rich, lOst Ilb, stroke—Christchurch, Oxford. Green wood, steerer, 9st 71b 1 Messrs. Somerset, 9st 81b; Fredericks, lOst 51b; Mahoney, 10st 101 b; Brown, 1 Ist 81b; Williams, 12st 41b; Cary, Ilst 51b; Sykes, lOst; Lee, stroke, list 61b—Worcester, Oxford. Wright, ateerer, 9st 131 b • As usual with eight-oared matches, this created very considerable interest, and afforded much gratification. It was from the start to the finish one of the mostigallant races on record. After a few strokes at a rattling pace, in which they were oar and oar, Christchurch began to show the nose of their boat in advance. Both crews continued at an immense pace; but Christchurch could not, despite their most strenuous efforts, get away. Off the Poplars both made strong play for it. Christchurch here got their boat quite clear, and about a foot to spare, the struggle was continued with great spirit to the end, when Christchurch won with their own length clear and about a yard, amidst the acclamations of the spec tators. Tne band of the 2d Life Guards was in attendance during the day. It will be see❑ by the above that the desire to achieve a victory unfortunately caused several fouls, which were most unpleasant to all parties engaged iu the races, the desire, of course, being to ascertain, by the trials of skill and strength, which were entitled to the laurel. Mr. Henry Wood, so many years member of the Le ander Club, and twice champion of the Thames, kindly officiated as umpire. The grand heat for the diamond sculls, and the gretb eight-oared match b e t ween t h e Oxford University and the Thames Club wind up the meeting this day. We are informed that Mr. Coulthard broke his stretcher shortly after the start. The successful competitors in the four first heats of sculls contended on the fifth and sixth. SECOND DAY The great features of yesterday, the concluding day of the regatta, were tho eight-oared race for the Grand Challenge Cup, and the final heat for the Diamond Sculls. To these were added the four- oared race for the Town Challenge Cup, and the deciding heat for the possession of the Silver Wherry, for amateurs within twelve miles of Henley. The weather, as on the pre vious day, was exceedingly fine, and the concourse of spectators equally great. THE SILVER, WHERRY. Grand Heat. __.. Mr. H. Sergeant, Henley __ 1 Mr. E. Besley, Henley Immediately after the start, Besley broke a thole. Sergeant took the lead, and kept it by four or fin lengths. TUE DIAMOND SCULLS. Grand Hear. Mr. W. L. Bagel' awe, Trinity College, Cambridge 1 Mr. Wilberforce, University Boat Club, Oxford 0 Mr. Bagshawe, a very young man, has already achieved wonders. He was the stroke in the Eton boat against Westminster last season, and since his removal. to Cambridge has signalised himself by winning the sculls there, and is the stroke oar of the third Trinity, at the head of the river. He has of late been under the training of Robert Coombes, the champion of the Thames. The race was good throughout. They started ♦ery evenly, Wilberforce on the Bucks side, which he kept until near Poplar Point, Although on different sides of the river, they were scull and scull for upwards of half the course, amidst the cheers of the spectators. Opposite Poplar Point Mr. Bagahawe shot right in ad vance, and won by five or six lengths. THE TOWN CHALLENGE CUP. Dreadnought Cutter Club, Henley (the holders) 1 Messrs. A. lee, F. Tagg, H. Othwaite, and J Page (stroke); T. S. Johnson, steerer. The Aquatic Club, Henley 0 Messrs. H. Sargeant, G. Lang, T. Watts, G Avery (stroke); J. Polejoy, steerer. The Dreadnought took the lead, and won by seven or eight lengths. THE GRAND CHALLENGE CUP. But for this great race the meeting would have been insignificant indeed, there having been, from some unac countable reason, no entries for the fi'ur-oared prizes. It excited the most intense interest. The Thames Club (London) were the holders last season, but were beaten by the University of Oxford crew. Mr. Wa!matey, the present champion of the Thames ; Mr. Chapman, twice or thrice its champion, and others who had many a time and oft distinguished themselves, were arrayed against the Oxonians. Both had gone over the course, having been two days at Henley. The imo the Ominian teok, against some wind, was 8 min. %sec. ; and the Thames, on Thursday night, in a dead calm, computed their time in 7 min. and 55 sec. There was a good deal of money laid out at even. Oxford University Boat Club (the holders) Messrs. W. G. Rich, lOst llb ; A. B. Thompson, lOst 41b ; E. J. Sykes, Ilst ; F. C. Royds, list 111 b ; G.

It was all one way, and although there were some trifling circumstances to be urged on the part of the losers, the general opinion of disinterested men was, that good fresh men are better than good stale ones, nod that mitres the " little things," the Thames e , duld not, under any circum stances, have stood the shadow of a chance. At the starting place it blew quite,. gale, and instead of the Thames crew taking the Bucks shore, which screened them from the wind, they selected the other, although they had the choice. From a moment or two after the start the Oxonians began to lead, and gradually improved their advantage throughout. The conflict was fierce for some time, and the Thames men exhibited their accus tomed courage, but their opponents were too good for them, and, before their arrival at Reminham, had gone clear. The Thames made a last effort, but it was use less, and their opponents won without the slightest parent fatigue, by 20 seconds, rowing the distance against a dead noser in 9 minutes 11 seconds. Mr. Bruce, who had broken a piece off the top of his stretcher at the mo ment of starting, was taken out of the boat in a very dis tressed state. A little race amongst the Waterman who rowed the umpire, and a four-oared scratch, wound up the regatta, which, upon the whole, was superior to last year's. THE ILEX CLUB. The Hex Club on Thursday evening rowed their " scratch" match for silver oars and rudder. The dis tance was from Putney Bridge to Chiswick Eyot. Messrs. Foot, Pickthell, Waugh, Ede, Lewis (bl. & r.) 1 Messrs. Burrows,Skelton,Tatham, Earls,Aylmer (w.) 2 Messrs. Harney, Richter,Crocker, Iles, Silklyn (blue.) 0 Black and red, opposite Searle's took the lead fol. lowed by white, leaving blue some boats' length behind. After a gallantly contested race, black and red won easily. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert took a drive yesterday in an open carriage and four.
