STAMPED sd. therefore led, the Surprise being first, from her advantage to windward and most tide under her. At the stumps a corresponding alacrity was displayed on all hands,the Eliza beth, however, being first round and under way. Rounding Coal Harbour Point the order of the stumps was Maria, Charles, and Elizabeth, but scarcely a length between them, and a few yards in front of them were the Surprise, Agnes, and Matilda. It was a fair wind right doWII at this time, but, unfortunately, did not hold. All their sails at this early part of the match were drawing nicely. The Maria began to in crease her lead well in Erith rands, the Charles and Eliza beth sailing beam and beam, while the Surprise lied in creased her lead. Off Purtlect the Matilda drew upon the Surprise with the Agnes close onherquarter, and the Maria, although still leading the stumps, was being picked up by the Charles, while the Elizabeth was falling dead astern of the whole fleet. About half way down Long Reach the Matilda came up to windward of the Surprise, and lifter boring her a little to leewardwithout any resistance, passed her, and in half a mile further, the wind having lightened upon the Matilda, the Surprise went up to windward of her and endeavoured to return the compliment,but the Matilda's captain lulled her, and a nice little breeze coming down at the moment she retained her position. At Grays Matilda had increased her lead considerably, the Surprise being se cond and Agnes third, the Maria having a long lead of the Charles in the stumps. They were in this order at Graves end,whero in the course of the light airs that succeeded, the wind veered to north and then to east, so :that the barges being unable to lay through the Hope had to make several boards. As they were beginning to meet the young flood the Elfin steamer was judiciously brought up about a mile below Coal House Buoy, and the wind ever and anon dying off, it was with the greatest difficulty the leading barges fetched the steamer, being soaked up by the flood, which every minute grew stronger. They at length rounded as follows: R. M. S. Matilda and Amy 0 12 50 Surprise 0 34 5 Agnes 0 54 40 Maria 0 50 30 • Charles 0 59 40 The Elfin was allowed to drive up with the tide a few yards to enable the first three to round. For some time on the return the wind was fair, but again falling off came ont from the north and then westward, andin Long Reach they had to make a board or two. There was no change, and the barges finished as under : H. M. 8.

Mr. Cecil Long then presented the prizes—Mr. Dodd's Cup to Mr. Willett, with the money to his crew, and the second cup and money to Mr. C. Wood and men. This was succeeded by the pre sentation of a very handsome silver snuff-box to Mr. Harry Dodd from the working men, bearing this inscription— " Presented to H. Dodd, Esq., by bargemen, as a token of respect and esteem, and in acknowledgment of the interest he has taken in their welfare. August 29, 1865." Mr. Long was deputed by the men to present this, s and pointed out how well the recipient deserved it at their hands, and Mr. Dodd expressed the gratification he felt at this unexpected tribute of their regard.

The whole of the shooting reflected the greatest credit on the instructing officers and on the men themselves. The weather was exceedingly fa vourable, and large numbers of persons were present. In addition to the prize shooting there was a course of fetes clmpetres, which consisted of races over the greensward, boxing, wrestling, throwing the ball, &c. The starting and other arrangements were di rected by Lieut. Despard, Royal Marine Light In fantry. The ground was well kept by a detachment of the corps. The regimental band, under the di rection of Mr. Bottoitiley, played various airs during the day. Booths were erected and refreshments provided on the spot, according to regulations. The whole available portion of the division were present, and the performances appeared tb be well appre- • ciated as a source of amusement and instruction, which, it is expected, will be followed up by each division of the corps, with equal benefit and advan tage.

The facts disclosed during a protracted in quiry were as follows :—About 11 o'clock on Saturday night a party of Englishmen were enjoying themselves In the Mail Coach Inn, a respectable house in West-street, and amongst their number was Allison, who had very recently returned from America. About half-past eleven the two Irishmen came in, and began to challenge the company to fight. The challenge was declined, whereupon Doyle struck a man named Thompson. The father of the latter called his assistant a fool, and was himself knocked down by a fearful blow over the right eye. The deceased, who was sitting behind, got up and said, Don't let us have a row." Tho two Irishmen turned upon him like wild beasts, knocked him down, and kicked him in the most brutal manner all over the body as ho lay on the floor. Doyle then ran out of the house. to his lodgings, and returned with a heavy poker, but when ho got back to the door, he was told that the old man was dead. He made off and changed his clothes, but was captured directly. It was found by the other persons in the house that Allison had died almost immediately from the effects of the kicks and blows. A post mortem examination showed that death had been caused by the effusion of a large quantity of blood upon the brain. The evidence showed that the prisoners had gone into the public-house with the determination to create a disturbance. They were not drunk, and the unfortunate deceased was quite sober. The coroner said that, in his opinion, considering the wanton nature of the attack, there was no element of manslaughter in the case. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Doyle and Devine, and they were committed to take their trial at the Leeds assizes.—deeds Nercury.

The view of Mr. Harry Dodd in originating sailing barge races—since cultivated by the Thames and Mersey Barge owners' Association, and under whose direction they have been this year produced—was not only to produce sport, but materially to advance the interests of both owners and the working hands in their employment. To tho former it was suggested that their builders might strike out fresh lines, and by the exercise of some taste in construction prove that even a barge could be built without prejudice to its utility with some pretension to beauty, and to cause the owners to provide gear and stores that would enable the men to handle their craft in so efficient a manner as to reflect credit both upon the employers and the em ployed. Especially, however, were these races intended to create a spirit of emulation amongst bargemen—a class previously without any incentive for smartness and good conduct other than the remuneration common to their employment, and which, it is considered, cannot but react most beneficially in causing them to keep their craft tight and trim, in using every means to take advantage of wind and tido, in making them more ready in giving way to larger vessels and to each other, when nothing but colli sion and probable loss of life, with certain injury to pro perty and expense to the owners, is the natural consequence of a contrary course. It must be obvious that these men have at all times, in the aggregate, large amounts of pro perty entrusted to them, and that their vocation requires the exercise of their utmost care and attention, and that it will be a great encouragement to them in well-doing to show that services which in the majority of cases require dispatch, attention, energy, and thought, are rewarded by some tribute of appreciation. The object of the proinoters of this undertaking is not to pet the men, but to endeavour by exciting a feel ing on the part of the owners, and such of the public as thereby feel interested, to raise their self respect, and make them objects of respect on the part of others. The champion race of the third sailing barge regatta was contested yesterday. It will be remembered that 40 barges, topsails and stumps, sailed on the 15th inst. for various prizes ; and the race of yesterday was amongst the first three boats of each class, the prizes being for the owner of the winning topsail barge, a Cup, value 20 guineas, and a champion barge flag, the gift of Mr. Harry Dodd ; and for the crews, £5 ss. for the first barge, £3 3s. for the second, and £2 2s. for the third. And for the owner of the winning stump barge 20 guineas, the gift of the subscribers, and £5, £3, and £2 for the crews, besides another champion flag presented by Mr. Dodd. The following contended : TOPSAIL BARGES. Barges. Burden. Owners. Agnes Matilda and Amy Surprise STUMPS. Elizabeth Charles Maria 75 • Mr. C. Wood. The course proposed was from Erith to the Nore Light and back, but it was found necessary to shorten it. Mr. Cecil Long, vice commodore of the Prince of Wales's Yacht Club, kindly consented to become officer of the day on board the Elfin, which, with the Petrel and Stork steamers, accompanied the race with large parties on board ; there was also a vast assemblage of barges filled with spectators. The weather was fine—a light breeze from N.N.W. On arriving at Erith the barges were found in two lines where they had been positioned .by Messrs. Dodd, Starling, and Flowers; three of the sailing committee. The start took place at 10.5. The mainsails were hanging in the brails, and the topsails lowered, but sheeted home, at the time the signal was given, and in 45 seconds the Agnes bad weighed her anchor and set every stitch of canvas, being the fastest of the fleet. The Surprise was next, and the Matilda third. These were a few yards lower down than the stumps, and METROPOLITAN CLUBS RACES. The final heat of the eight-oared race amongst the metropolitan clubs for handsome silver cups was rowed last evening from Putney to Chiswick Church as under : London Rowing Club (Middlesex Station).—W.

Drake, W. Mares, A. Mares, S. Frost (cox) 0 West London got away with the lead, Thames second, and London last ; these positions were, however, quite re versed at the Star and Garter, for here London led by half their length, the others about a quarter of a length apart, West London last. In spite of the hard rowing of Thames, the Londoners drew clear below their boat-house, and the West Londoners tailed past. At the Point half a clear length was between the first and second, same between second and third, and so continued to the Soap Works, where London left Thames, and the West Londoners had lost all chance. After passing through -Hammersmith bridge the crews assumed very different positions, London literally rowed away from Thames, and the latter left the West Londoners in a still worse plight. The race was won by half-a-dozen clear lengths ; eight between second and third. Time, 14 min. 26 sec. Naval and Military Intelligence. -11. The ironclad ship of war Lord Clyde sailed from Pembroke-dock on Saturday for Plymouth. A trial trip had previously been made outside the harbour, and the engines worked remarkably well, the average speed being 12 knots. The Lord Clyde was accom panied on her voyage to Plymouth by her Majesty's ship Gladiator. A series of important trials has just been com pleted on the Thames and Medway, to discover the best form of screw propeller for the propulsion of steam vessels, by which some exceedingly valuable data have been arrived at. The vessel experimented upon was a screw steamer belonging to Messrs. Rennie, fitted with an improved Griffith's propeller, as supplied to the ships of the Royal navy, with the addition, and in which lies the improvement, of what may be termed a fixed screw, or " boss," hav ing a number of arms attached, similar in form and design to the sails of a windmill, the invention of Mr. Rigg, d civil engineer at Chester. The atten tion of Mr. Griffith has been directed to this subject, from the fact that nothing has been done during the last few years to improve the propellor invented by him. The new invention may be described briefly as a " boss" attached to the rudder-post of the ves sel, behind the ordinary screw. Emerging from the " boss " are a number of blades, which, for the sake of description, may be called a fixed screw, which in reality it really is. These blades are set at a directly opposite angle to the screw, and on the latter being set in motion the water acted upon is ejected at an angle corresponding with its pitch and velocity. At the instant of the water being thrown off by the screw it is arrested and caused to i d m ev r i .i a n te ge b ap by the them fixed . The result alreadye f d this escri e b p e e d r , a a t s ie i n t is that the water is thrown off at nearly a line with the vessel's keel, taking away all vibration, rendering the action of the rudder more perfect, and, as a consequence, enabling the ship to be more easily steered. The result of the trials, which were conducted personally by Mr. Griffith and Mr. Rigg, under the supervision of Mr. Rumble, late chief inspector of machinery of the steam reserve in the Medway, was in the highest degree satisfactory. The new system, itmayberemarked, has been tested in juxtaposition with the improved Mangin screw now introduced into the royal navy, and fitted in the first instance to the iron-clad frigate Achilles, built at Chatham dockyard, as well as to the iron cased frigate Bellerophon, now preparing for sea at the same establishment, and the results obtained are somewhat surprising. With the Griffith screw work ing in conjunction with Mr. Rigg's invention the mean speed attained was 7.574 per hour, with 114 revolutions per minute. With the ordinary screw now in use by the Admiralty in the new ironclads the average speed attained by the same vessel was only 5.871 knots per hour, with 227 revolutions of the screw per minute. The results of the experiments were consequently ascertained to be an increase of F 703 knots per hour in speed, with 43 revolutions less per minute ; or, in other words, a gain of 22.48 per cent. in speed, with a saving of 18.94 per cent. in power. It is hoped that the Admiralty will grant the the r u e s x e p o e f ri t m he en ir ts on w s i c t r h ew th s e te in a v m en y t a io e n bt Fairy for hatve f s u s r e - 1 is in every respect better adapted than perhaps any other steamer in the navy for experimental purposes, while she has the further advant a g e of havin g had g tri o e f dt th po e n it h n e y r. al nearly The e gr ve a r n yrm d fo annu o a f place yesterday on the lower Plumstead ma rc h es, Marine Light Infantry, Woolwich nsvheonottei division, took' dp adjoining Woolwich arsenal.
