Like the rest of the Tery organs, Fraser is of cour.se in extacies with tlbil result of the elections, and earnestly calls on his party to give Sir Robert Peel their prompt, undeviating, undivided sup port. In a curious diatribe, which he entitles " Confusion Worse Confounded," lie insists that the day will be lost unless such support be given, and takes the British Critic sternly to task for its late attack on the Tory Premier that is to be. We question much whether the Right Hon. Ba ronet will obtain the cordial assistance which is here 60 urgently insisted on, for one or two symp toms of disunion have already appeared in the camp of the faction, and how Lord Stanley is to be rendered amenable to strict discipline will be a most ,perplexing subject of consideration with e `kist oo "' e P. grail - m . ls at Orchard Portman, near the Tory leaders.

MAGAZINE DAY. BLACK WO OD'S MAGAZINE. We have here the closil4 chapter of " Ten Thousand a Year" —the most lengthy tale that has appeared in print since the days of the in-, terminable Richardson. It terminates, as might have been anticipated, with the recovery of his Yatton property by Mr. Aubrey; the marriage of his sister Kate with the son of the Lord De la Zouch; and the utter ruin of Tittlebat Tit mouse, who, distracted with his misfortunes and the brandy-bottle, is confined for life in a pri vate lunatic asylum. As for the inferior per sonages, they are disposed of in a very summary manner. Messrs. Bloodsuck and Mudflint, the provincial patriots, after being tossed about on the stormy waves of litigation, and trying in vain to get up a public subscription to indemnify them for their sufferings in the cause of Reform, at length cast anchor, and find a haven of rest in the Insolvent Debtors' Court; Mr. Tagraa, the broken down haberdasher, turns Church-rate Martyr, and finds his account in the specula tion; and Messrs. Swindle O'Gibbet and O'Shirtless, the Irish Reform Members, are suddenly found wanting in London, leaving divers perplexed and inquisitive creditors in a state of very delicate distress. Some of these incidents display considerable vigour of sarcasm, though we must protest against the spirit that per vades them; indeed Mr. Warren has far more of the satirical than the humorous in his nature ; when he attempts the purely comic, he almost always fails, from his proneness t) extravagant buffoonery. He has no idea of keeping within the safe meaa of propriety. The interest of his story may be said to come in and go out with Gammon, for we care little either for Aubrey or Titmouse, the one being a sentimental, and the other a grotesque, caricature, as unlike real life as it is possible to be. Despite its numerous defects, however—the result rather of careless ness than want of ability—the story is an ex ceedingly clever one, and must have given plea sure to thousands of readers. " A Glance at the Elections" is remarkable for nothing so much as its 'solemn cant and twaddle. The writer attri butes the result of the elections to " that over raingYrovidence by which, the iswes of - events are controlled.' It was not, the •Cliandos - clause that degraded Ministers in the counties ; it Was not the Carlton Club funds that assisted the Tories in many of the more accessible boroughs; nothing of the sort; it was Jehovah that . did it ! Heaven itself fought on the side of the Opposition! Yes, Omnipotence--and no less an authority— has declared against free trade, and in favour of taxed bread, by returning a Tory majority to Parliament! Such is the opinion of the scribe in Blackwood, who, thus thinking, muct of course look on Sir Robert Peel as one in di red communication with Heaven of which we must own we entertain strong doubts, seeing that he has as few celestial attributes about him as any man we know ot. But if he be really in spired by any superhuman Power, then we should say that the inspiration came to him from below, rather than from above! The writer goes on to express his conviction that Ministers "ad vised the late dissolution, knowing that the re suit would be a considerable majority against them !" and yet, in the face of this conviction — which, to make it the more impressive, he has put in Italics—he adds, in the very next page, that " the object of the dissolution was to excite an evil spirit through the country, which might wea ken the numbers of the Conservative party " Thus the Whigs dissolve, first, it seems, to secure a Tory majority, and secondly, to weaken the numbers of that majority ! Who can pin faith on a writer who argues in this inconsistent and ab surd fashion ? But the article is full ofsuch crazy trash, being throughout consistent only in incon sistency-. " The World's Honesty" is a tempting theme skilfully handled. The " F r e nch in Ar geria",describes the recent changes in this colony, and the embarrassment under which it still la bours, in a temperate, and, so far as we can judge, impartial manner. We should say that the di scu ssion on the " Non-Intrusion Question" was dull, could. we but understand it, but we have never yet been able to make out what the Scotch theologians have gone to loggerheads about. "The Announcements and Three Rooms" is an amusing story, with a - dash of farce in it. The " Pied-a-Terre" is a lively jeux d'esprit. We quote a portion of the stanzas: — Sentimental young students may be in the right, To dream of a cottage with roses grown o'er ; And nothing to think of from morning to night, But ,ome pink-and-white Lucy to love and adore. • But you're fast getting grey, as perchance you perceive, And I guess 'tis high time such green fancies to leave, And sit down in a civilized pied-a-terre Within cry of the Clubs, in the heart of Mayfair. Though worn to the bone by the labours of office— tnottAii ect of her est by my lady's dissipation, and a her ntealn by my lady's selfishness—though ha rassed by flaws of temper and caprices of taste, there is a species of one and mil visibility between the mistress and maid, characteristic of the umbrageous nature pointed out. An instinctive esprit du corps unites the daughter of Eve who washes the laces, and is to inherit them, with the daughter of Eve who wears them in her pinners. Against my master, or my lord, on the other hand, the lady's maid cherishes an equally intuitive apathy. Even my master's own man 7 nay, even the family butler and coachman does she detest as dependencies of " master." " Master" is a tyrant—master is a nuisance—master is never satisfied—master is always complaining of the manner in which his linen is starched, or left un starched ; and master's shirt-buttons have twice as great an aptitude to come off as any other gentleman's. And then, master keeps such hours ! Master goes to bed, and rises earlier than can be accounted for on any other prin ciple than that of matrimonial contrariety. Master comes into my lady's dresSing-room in dirty boots ; or sets down his flat candlestick on a new cap. Master is full of fancies, such as having his newspapers ironed; and worrets people out of their lives about keeping din ner, or the horses waiting. According to the lady's maid there is no end to the peccadillos of •• master." Not but that my lady has her faults too. My lady is sadly thoughtless and heedless, and seems to think that people have twenty pair of hands, and no need of rest or recreation. But she is such a good creature, after all And, if it were not for having such a brute of a husband, she would be such a sweet-tempered lady. Ali ! poor thing ! if people only knew what they were about when they married ! The lady's maid swears she would not change her situation for anythinf; that anybody could offer her ; that is, her situation in life. As regards her vocation, it must be admitted that she enjoys peculiar advantages. Other slaveys occupy the place of Tanta lus. The butler is no wise privileged to be the better for the wine he is decanting, or the plate h? is cleaning ; or the gardener for the pines or peaches he is forcing. But if the task of the lady's maid be an eternal smoothing of coats, and darning of pinholes, she has at least a vested interest in the fruit of her labours. The lawn kerchief, or brocaded mantle, will one day be her own ; and the young heir who watches the growth of his father'S plan ' tations; is not more personally interested in their well doing than the lady's maid in the safe packing of her lady's imperials and cha ise-seat. The lad y 's maid is usually an hysterical, nervous personage ; her constitu tion broken by irregular l rest and irregular diet. principles were at least h'ovever feeply they were at timesstiplitirtvd. " tations in the Wen" is a collection of observations strung together hap-hazard. The sketch of a Westminster election in the olden time, when so many patriotic hustings speeches used to be pointed and rounded off by a shower of dead cats and cabbage-stalks, is highly divert ing nor, on the, whole, can we object to the fol lowing description of a Whig, though we think that the colouring might here and there have been softened advantageously : It has been thought.anomalous that the Whigs have more frequently incurred the indignation of " the mob" than the Tories. 'Nothing can be more natural. The Tory and the mob are political antipodes ; they rarely come in contact. When the Tory is advised to face "t he mob" (nota bene, .‘ the mob," properly speaking, is to be found only in towns—it is a free body—the rural serfs are not sufficiently high-spirited and intelligent to con stitute a mob), it is as a forlorn - hope. There is no dis guise: his obnoxious political principles are avowed; and to allow of this being done with the least possible amount of danger, some frank, jolly, good-humoured person is selected, who can keep his temper, and make the rabble like him, though they detest...his politics. The Whigs, on the other hand, court . the' alliance of " the mob," without knowing its character well enough to know how to deal with it. A Whig is necessarily a pedant :he sees the people, and every thing natural, reflected in the softening mirror of books. He has never mingled with the crowd. When a child, he was mamma's well-be haved darling, who never played with naughty boys or dirtied his clothes : when he was at school and college he was a pattern of industrious study--and, if he did not carry off the lowest premiums and honours, at least ranked next to thoSe who did : and in after-life he re mains the same incurable, neat, decorous prig. IVith him " the child is father of' the man" indeed. He wishes to square his own conduct, and to see others square theirs, to the precepts he has imbibed from his godmothers and godfathers. He is shocked at the levity and restless overbearing conduct of the Tories. He is shocked at the coarseness and waywardness of " the mob." He would clip and smooth all mankind into a likeness of his own prim self, as old-fashioned gardeners clipped forest-trees into peacocks, Adams, and Eves. He has no s y m p athies with the habits and thoughts of others : he has no con ception how other men can differ from him. With Par son Adams, he would'read his sermons to the 'squire's drunken led-captains and toad - eaters : but he lacks the robustious bon hommic of .the parson—he. garetali rs filthy a t o n b ac o co ld a n mv.t d d a _l 6 e f , t a i n ie d m is na his ignorance of men, and then a n g er by his . pragmatical all. censoriousness. There is a natura l anti pa th y between ' efi t rs e a t e vxincaitleoe as ever nsion by such a one and " the mob :" it is impossible they can come into contact without quarrelling. " Chapters on English Poetry" discuss the merits of Scott and Byron — a the me which is very cleverly discussed, notwithstanding its want of novelty. The article is not too long, and reads very pleasantly. " The Green-Gaunt let" is brought to a close this month. It is a clever story, and furnishes us with a vivid idea of the horrors that charac terised the Irish Rebellion of 1798. ." Memoir of Dr. Jamieson" abounds in anecdotes of cer tain Scottish oddities, in politics and literature; who figured towards the close of the last cen tury. " Campbell's Life of Petrarch" is an im partial estimate of the merits of an entertaining, but somewhat hastily-written, work. METROPOLITAN, There are too many tales of fiction in this number, which otherwise is by no means amiss. We could have borne with two or three stories, but really half a dozen is too strong a doze for ordinary digestion. Mrs. Trollope's " Blue .Belles of England" is amongst the best; but, neverthe less, it is not in her most successful manner. The incidents appear laboured, and do not follow in just and natural sequence; and the characters, with hardly one exception, have none of the breath of life breathed into them. " Recollec tions of a Student" contain some striking details of the assassination of the Emperor Paul, and the conduct of his successor, Alexander, immediately subsequent to that atrocious act. The anxious state of the Poles, too, at this feverish crisis, is well described. " Curiosities of Legal Expe rience" furnish us with some interesting particu lars respecting the perpetration and discovery, under extraordinary circumstances, of a most revolting murder. As a specimen of the poetry of the number, we extract some stanzas by Mrs. Abdy, entitled " The Aged" : _ _ Oh ! oft the minstrel's lay describes, with warm and fervent truth, The lovely days of childhood, and the blushing spring of youth It dwells upon the season of life's sweet and sunny prime, But seldom does it chronicle its d ark and winter time. Yet ever on the aged with deep reverence I look, Their inmost thoughts I liken to a wise and wondrous book, Enriched with lavish histories of scenes and times of yore, That never can be given to the eye of mortal more. We, in the summer-glow of health, mty joyously expect To pass along the ways of life by chance and change unchecked ; But while we trace our future course, and future knowledge crave, A year, a day, an hour alas ! may lay us in the grave. But they already have enjoyed the brief and fleeting span By Providence allotted as the common life of man ; And all the wisdom time imparts to benefit our race, Hath in their full-fraught minds secured a certain dwelling. place. We oft retrace our early youth, and sorrowfully cast Reflections on our follies in the season that is past ; May not the aged in their turn reflect and reason thus: May they not mourn the follies that they still decry in us ? Oh ! why should we despise them then, and wilfully forego The treasures of experience they would readily bestow ? Even as the meek and docile child receives our counsel sage, So ought we humbly to regard the warning voice of age. They ever should be viewed by us with love and awe, they stamp On the threshold of another world, a mystic spirit-land, They 'should be cherished and revered as tenants of the rd, Soon to receive their summons to the mansion of their God• ALARMING etiNi.rITION OF T COUNTRY. We have been told that Lord Francis Egerton is about to raise a yeomanry corps from amongst his numerous tenants. Should this be true, and we have no reason to doubt the truth of our informant, it will show that his Lordship is resolved to be prepared against any emente in his own neighbourhood. The example will probably be followed by all the Tory aristocracy, and thus a new military _force will be created, auxiliary to the Tory Go vernment, and for the suppression of any disturbances that may arise from the continuance of the corn mo nopoly. There is too much reason for alarm. We have been close observers of the state of the manufacturing dis tricts for the last quarter of a century, and we venture to affirm that there never was, during all that period, so intense and wide-spread distress as that which is now ex perienced. We have had sudden denressions, which oc casioned great suffering, but they were of comparatively short endurance ; but there has been a gradual progress downwards for the last two or three years, till the profits of business and the reward of labour have fallen below what we ever remember them to have been, and this, too, without any reasonable prospect of amendment. The census shows that fully one-tenth of the houses in the manufacturing towns of Lancashire are untenanted ; and we have good grounds for belief that the occu piers of another tenth are totally unable to pay rent. This shows au enormous diminution of the means of subsistence, even with those who are partially employed; and we know that a great number of persons are without employment at all. One half of the hand-loom weavers in Manchester are without work ; and a great proportion of them are Irish, who have no claim to parochial as sistance. We saw four of these men yesterday—men of good character, as their late employer testified— , endeavouring to raise amongst the benevolent a few shillings to save their families from starvation, and their story was heart-rending. One of them said : " What are we to do ? We cannot get work ; we are not en titled to parish relief ; we have no other choice but to lie down and die, or put out our ham! and steal." No country can be tranquil while this is the condition of a great portion of the people. It cannot be expected that men will peaceably lay themselves down to die. We cannot expect that, on the verge of starvation, they will forget that they have been thus reduced by bad laws, that they will exercise forbearing thoughts towards the men who support those laws. There is, in truth, much cause for fear. The elements of combustion are laid. A spark may ignite the whole in a moment. Take, for ex ample, Paisley, where the manufacturers, with two or three exceptions, are involved in one common ruin. There is the whole population of a large town unemployed.. Let there be but an extensive bank failure in Lancashire, and we should have whole towns here in the same de plorable condition. And all this without the hope of amendment ! ! ! Will the rtiiiing of bands of yeomanry be instrumental in preventing an explosion ? On the contrary, it would add to the existing causes of discontent. A few hun dre Is of hot-headed partizans, acting as the Manchester yeomanry of 1819 did, might involve the whole country in a civil war. Manchester Times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES, The most' brilliant on the records of the turf, were brought to a close on Friday. The fine weather of the preceding day was succeeded I - 7 a cloudy atmosphere and chilling breezes, and in the attendance of visitors there was a marked falling off. We subjoin further par ticulars of the races; sent from the course. Nassau Stakes.—lord Exeter's filly went off with the lead, followed by The Witch of Whorley Hill and Australia, the latter having the Nonsense filly by he: side, to the distance, where Australia went up to the Greenmantle filly, and at the stand challenged her, but was defeated, after a smart race home,l)y half a length. The Nonsense filly a respectable third, and beat the Witch cleverly; Delusive beaten off. The Produce Stakes. —Prince Caradoc was firstoff, but was soon headed by . Buffalo, who went on at a true pace, followed by The Prince and Mr. Rush's colt, Ralph, and Abydos, together with Eringo and Marshal Soult behind them. Th ese positions were maintained to the turn into the straight running, where Mr. Rush's colt was beaten off, and Ralph closed with his horses. Prince Caradoc then went to Buffalo, and ran with him to the distance; here the latter fell oft; and Eringo and Abydos joined the front rank. Prince Caradoc went on with the ilead to the stand, where Eringo went up close to the iuwer rails, Ri.lph making his rush at the same moment on the other side, Abydos lying between him and Prince Caradoc. A, fine race ensued between the four, and THE SUN, LONDON. MON.!

Abydos was close to the latter at the finish, been more than three lengths behind, laid hold of the Buffalo some lengths behind this lot, Marshal Soult sixth, water with amazing speed, and went inside of both the and Mr. Rush's last. leading men. Phelps rowed hard to overtake him, and Chesterfield Cup.—Mus made the running, followed C onnawa y d ro pp e d into the third place. Maynard main by a rush of horses to the distance, where Maroon, Dr. twined th e l e ad, and won by four or five lengths. Phelps Caius, and Garry Owen joined him, and they ran nearly was second. abreast to within a few strides of home, when the Dr. The cup was to be presented to the winner at Vaux headed the lot, and won•by half a length. The Corsair hall Gardens. and Perseus were well up with Garry Owen. This is the third year in succession that Lord Eglinton has won this cup. First Class of the March Stakes.—Sherbet took the lead, followed by Capote, with the Busk filly in waiting. Half way between the turn and the distance Amulet made a push for the front, but failed, and at the distance fell behind in company with Sherbet. Capote went on with the running, the Busk filly attending him till close to the post, where he made a rush and won by half a length ; Sherbet was an indifferent third, and the others beaten off. Second Class.—The favourite had it all his own way, and won by three lengths. THE ORLEANS CUP. This race was one of the slowest ever run, and, as far as Hyllus was concerned, was run under very suspicious circumstances. Aspatria went off in front followed by Mus, Hyllus third, and 3tustapha last. At the turn out Mus passed the filly, but with so little improvement in the speed, that on reaching the Craven starting p )st nearly four winutes had elapsed. It continued in Cie same way round the clump, but mended slightly: in rising the hill for the last turn, the positions remaining as before. Aspatria was beaten at the distance, ,and Buckle (to whom no blame whatever attaches), who was on Hyllus, became second • immediately after he endea voured to obtain the lead, but had no chance against Mus, whose superior speed enabled him to maintain his position to the end, and won cleverly by a length. The time taken to run the distance was six minutes and thirty two seconds, being about a minute and a half more than the Cup was run in on Thursday. It is no torious that Hyllus is slow, and that, without having any pretensions to speed, the orders to the jockey should have been to force the running, not to wait, yet Buckle was instructed, and of course obeyed. We will not adopt the terms in which the transaction was re probated, but simply observe that it excited a very strong feeling of indignation, and that one of the members of the Jockey Club, recently one of its stewards, declared that should any horse from the same stable be named for a handicap submitted to him, he should assuredly put thirteen stone on him. We should add that Pocahontas was in the same stable as Hyllus, and on her being stripped for saddling fur the Cup on Thursday, her owner was so strongly impressed with the belief that she had not un dergone the necessary preparation, that he immediately laid 1001. to half-a-crown against her in the presence of her trainer, and after the race, removed her to Brown's stable. He has since sold her to Mr. Theobald for 5001 Challenge for the March 5 sovs. forfeits, &c. This race came off after our express left, as follows : Mr. Smyth's Maid, 4 yrs, lOst 91b (Capt..

FREE TRADE-LIMITED DUTIES OF GOVERNMENT. So much is at present said, and so little under stood, on the above subjects that we have thought the following passages from the " Wealth of Nations," would now not be unacceptable. Adam Smith says : Whatever, besides, tends to diminish in any country the number of artificers and manufacturers, tends to di minish the home market, the most important of all mar kets for the rude produce of the land, and thereby sill further to discouragd a g riculture. Those systems, ther efore, to all other employments, in order to promote it, impose restraints upon manufac tures and foreign trade, act contrary to the very end which they propose, and indirectly discourage that very species of industry which they mean to promote. They are so far, perhaps, more consistent than even the mercantile system. That system, by encouraging manu factures and foreign trade more than agriculture, turns a certain portion of the capital of the society from sup porting a more advantageous to support a less "advan tageous species of industry. But still it really, and in the end, encourages that species of industry which it means to promote. Those agricultural systems, on the contrary, really, and in the end, discourage their own favourite species of industry. It is thus that every system which endeavours either by extraordinary encouragements, to draw towards a par ticular specks of industry a greater share of the ca pital of the society than what would naturally go to it, or by extraordinary restraints to force from a particular species of industry some share of the capital which would otherwise be employed in it, is, in reality, sub versive of the great purpose which it means to promote. It retards, instead of accellerating, the progress of the society towards real wealth and greatness ; and dimi nishes, instead of increasin, the real value of the annual produce of its land and labour. All systems, either of preference or of restraint, there fore, being thus completely taken away, the obvious and simple system.of natural liberty establishes itself of its Own accord. Every man, as long as he does not violate the laws of justice, is left perfectly free to pursue his own interest his own way, and to bring both his in dustry and capital into competition with those of any other man or order of men. The Sovereign is completely discharged from a duty, in attempting to perform which he oust always be exposed to innumerable delusions, and for the performance of which no human wisdom or knowledge could ever be sufficient, the duty of superintending the industry of private people, and of directing it towards the employment most suitable to the interests of the so ciety. ACCORDING TO THE SYSTEM OF NATURAL LIBERTY, THE SOVEREIGN HAS ONLY THREE DUTIES TO ATTEND TO ; THREE DUTIES OF GREAT IMPORTANCE, INDEED, BUT PLAIN AND INTELLIGIBLE TO COMMON UNDER STANDING—FIRST, THE DUTY OF PROTECTING THE SOCIETY FROM THE INVASION OF OTHER ;INDE PENDENT SOCIETIES ; SECONDLY, THE DUTY OF PROTECTING, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, FROM THE INJUSTICE OR OPPRESSION OF EVERY OTHER MEM BER OF IT, OR THE DUTY OF ESTABLISHING AN EXACT ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE; AND, THIRDLY, THE DUTY OF ERECTING AND MAINTAINING CERTAIN PUBLIC WORKS AND CERTAIN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, which it can never be for the interest of any individual, or small number of individuals, to erect and maintain ; because the profit could never repay the expense to any indivi dual, or small number of individuals, though it may fre qUently do much more than repay it to a great society. [Such is the language of Dr. Smith, admitted to be the most sagacious political philosopher of his time, or perhaps of any time. His wisdom, however, is completely thrown away, for the whole race of political quacks, whether Whigs or Tories, continually violate Dr. Smith's pre cepts. They, the most short-sighted of mortals, modestly think their wisdom and knowledge suf ficient for what Dr. Smith says no human wis dom can accomplish. While they are utterly incompetent very often to regulate their own affairs, and must have conservators, trustees, guardians, or assignees, they decide that they know best what is the most useful and profitable employment for every individual of the great family of mankind, and proceed to regulate it according to their fancy. We make our remark as general as possible, because such is the har monious and closely dove-tailed nature of society that it is impossible for the labour of ' a single class, or perhaps a single individual, to be mis directed by legislation in England, without af fecting some corresponding or co-operating class or individual in the United States, Hindostan, or China. Our cotton cloth displacing the cotton of India, our woollens entering cheaper or dearer into the markets of China, and our cutlery sup plied to, or withheld from, the United States by our fiscal laws, affect labour in all those coun tries.

GRAND ROWING MATCH AT VAUXHALL The great contest amongst the most celebrated scu lers on the river Thames, for a silver cup given by the proprietors of Vauxhall Gardens, took place on Friday, and drew together an immense assemblage of spectators. A contest of this description could not fail of being at tractive, and was witnessed with no small degree of ad miration by the aquatic sportsmen, who have not been indulged with a similar first-rate exhibition since the summer of 1839, when those of the most note as scul lers rowed ut Putney. Since that period many then leading favourites have declined in their style and power, and, though within the short space of two years, others have sprung up and entered the list. The great desire among aquatic gentlemen has been to see some of the re cent aspirants contend with those who had then or some years since been first-rate rowers. The arrangement of this wager was left to Charles Campbell, the champion. He selected most unquestionably the eight best men in town, we ought to say (excepting himself) eight of the best men in the world. There were only three wanting to have comprised the whole of those who in the present day have acquired notoriety, Coombes, Newel, and Doubledee ; the first of these is at Chester, the two lat ter rowed at Havre de Grace on Thursday, in the Sons of the Thames crew. This wager had been arranged in three heats, with eight pairs of sculls ; and at three o'clock the following took their stations at Vauxhall-bridge, to row from there down, round a boat moored off Roberts's, the boat builders, at Stangate, up the Surrey shore, round a boat moored off Nine Elms, and back to Vauxhall-bridge : John Connoway, Battle-bridge stairs Green Thos. Goodrum Vauxhall-bridge Red James Maynard, Lambeth Pink Charles Hill, Hungerford White The first of these men is well known as a powerful fellow, who has come out within these last two years, and was defeated a month since by Doubledee, in one of the greatest struggles ever known on the Thames. Good rum is a fine young man of much less weight, and has won three or four hard wagers in the same short space of time. Maynard has also distinguished himself as a scientific sculler ; and Charles Hill, a tall powerful man of some years' standing as a first-rater, won the great match at Putney at the close of 1838. Betting was in favour of Hill ; Connaway was next in the choice. • The start was beautifully taken by Connaway, who in a few strokes took the lead, and kept it throughout. In rounding the lower boat Goodrum and Maynard were close together, and Hill made adash, cut them off, and went into the second place, closely pressed all up the Surrey shore by both. It was a great contest, Hill working hard in 'the middle, and Goodrum and Maynard on either quarter for nearly half a mile. Hill was evidently ham pered by the close and tight work the pair gave him, and he had lost a stopper in rounding the boat. On their arrival facing Lambeth Palace, Goodrum made a grand effort to pass Hill inside. Hill drew slightly in to avoid the heavy tide that was running down, and Maynard dashed by him outside, and took the second place. Connaway won the heat. Maynard was second ; Hill third. The second heat consisted of John Phelps, Putney George Campbell, Lambeth Purple John Kelly, Putney Blue Everard, Old Barge - house Yellow A few words respecting the merits of these men will suffice. Phelps has been a first-rate man for years, and is well known as the opponent in the two great matches of Robert Coombes. George Campbell, the brother of the champion, is a neat, active, little fellow, and is always in good training. Kelly is a man whose day is almost. gone by ; and Everard was perhaps less known sts a sculler than any of the rest. Phelps was the favourite on the list. The lead was taken by Phelps, who was out rowed by young Campbell, and Everard close on the quarter of the 'anti . , which place he retained only for a few strokes. On the return, facing Lambeth, Phelps and Kelly rowed by both the leading men, and held it the remainder of the distance. Thelps was first, Kelly second, Campbell third. The third heat was started at six o'clock. The pace at going off was grand, and the four men were so even that they had rowed nearly to Lambeth church before any lead could be distinguished amongst them. Con naway and Phelps then drew in advance, but were closely pressed by Maynard and Kelly. On the return, a gainst tide, up the Surrey s h ore , t h e wor k wa s admirable, and as they passed through Vaux hall -bridge the fate of the day was decided. Comma way cleared the second arch about a length a-head, and a trifle nearer the shore than Phelps, who was next to him. The latter at this moment touched Connaway on NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTS3IOUTII, JULY 31.—The Acorn arrived at Ma deira, from Plymouth, on the 21st June, and sailed for Rio de Janeiro. Her Majesty's packet Ranger, Lieut. Turner, arrived at . Falmouth, from Mexico, on Thursday, with 180,000 dollars on freight. The Ranger arrived at Belize on the 20th of May, sailed the 22d ; arrived at Vera Cruz on the 30th of May, sailed on the 12th June • at Tampico, 14th June, sailed 17th ; at Havannah, 27(11 June, and sailed for Fahnouth the 29th. Merchants are com plaining sadly of the depression of trade in all parts of the Mexican States. Our Minister, Mr. Pakenham, pressed the demands of British subjects on the Mexican Government, and it was understood would leave the country, if his remonstrances were not attended to.

OPERATIONS AGAINST THE WRECK OF THE ROYAL GEORGE.—The explosion of 6501b5. of powder, and nounced in our last numbor, took place on Wednesday, the 28th instant, at the hour stated, 1 P.M., in spite of a strong gale of wind from the westward, wEeli, as the tide ran in the same direction at the time, rendered it impossible for Lieut. Hutchinson to go from No. 5 I, the from whence the charge was let down, to No. 4, in which the voltaic battery was placed, the latter being to wind ward ; so that lie was obliged to forego his intention of firing it himself, and the circuit was completed by Ser jeant-Major Jones. Being fired about the time of low water, this charge produced a similar effect in miniature to those of the great explosions of last year, as it threw up a column of clear water, beautifully sparkling in the sun, to the height of 12 feet, followed by a small eruption of water blackened by mud from the bottom. Not withstanding the violence of the gale, several yachts and small sailing vessels came out to witness this explosion, Which disengaged a piece of mast from the ma, about four or five feet long, that floated to the surface and ' drifted to the eastward with the wind and tide. A boat ordered to secure it by Colonel Pasley, failed in the attempt, as the tow-line broke twice and the men were obliged to abandon it, in order to save their passage to the Success hulk, which was to leeward of them ; for at that time no boat could stem the united action of the wind and tide. Next day, though it still blew a gale and the sumps pitched violently, five divers were em ployed as usual, and a good cargo of wreck has been stowed away in the hold, of the Drake sailing lighter. Thus the skill acquired by experience, has enabled the executive officer and the men employed to work to ad vantage in weather which at first would have put an en tire stop to such operations: WOOLWICH, JULY 30.—The Widgeon steam-vessel, Master . Commander John Hamilton, accompanied by Master Commander L. Smithett, of the Ariel steam-ves sel, will arrive at Woolwich to-morrow to embark -her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians and suite for a pas sage to Cstend. It is expected her Majesty will arrive about eh yen o'clock on Sunday forenoon, and immedi ately afterwards sail for the Continent. _ The Salamander steam frigate, Commander Hastings Reginald Henry, was paid off to-day at Woolwich. The Castor, 36 guns Captain E. Collier; C. 8., recently returned from the Mediterranean, was ordered to be paid off to-day at Sheerness. FLANDERS MAIL. BERLIN, JULY 25.—His Excellency Baron Bulow, Prussian Ambassador at the Court of Great Britain, ar rived from London a few days ago at Tezel, the summer residence of his family ; but, to his great grief, found . . his domestic circle diniinished by one niember; a daugh- ter, 12 years of age, had died, while he was on his jo—ur ney, and he arrived just in time to attend her funeral. Baron Bulow will go in August to Frankfort, accompa nied Ly his family, to enter on his new office, as repre. sentative of Prussia at the diet. It is probable that the change in our Foreign Legation will Lake place at the same time, where it is generally reported M. Von Ca nitz will be removed from Hanover to London, M. Yon 'rhun from Cassel to Hanover, and General Von Lind heim "goes to CasseL HANOVER, JULY 24.—The Crown Prince has left Hanover to-day to go to Norderney for the benefit of sea-bathing. HANOVER, JULY 25.—His Majesty the King, respect ing whose intentions nothing certain is known, was said to be preparing for a journey. His Majesty, generally, never lets the persons about him know to what place he intends to go till the day of his departure, so that it is not known whether his Majesty will go to Ems. Mr. Vignolles, the English engineer, is now here. He has had audiences of the King and the Principal Officers of State, whence it is inferred that his business here relates . to the construction of iron railways.—Hamburgh Papers, July 27. - BRUSSELS, JULY 29.—Our intercourse with the coun- tries beyond the Atlantic is becoming more extensive and regular. There are now at Antwerp ships lading for Rio de Janeiro, Vera Cruz, the Havannah, and New York, as well as for Batavia, Singapore, and Manilla. BRUSSELS, JULY 30.—The King transacted business yesterday with most of the Ministers. The Queen and the Duke of Brabant are expected very shortly at Os tend. We are assured that the King and Queen will go to Paris at the beginning of next month. The Archbishop of Paris, who is now here, has visited our churches and principal collections of public libraries, and has been waited on by a great number of our clergy, He is gone to Liege this morning and will afterwards proceed to Bruges, and then return to France by way of CouratoraNnsE y, G nd st Lille. GAONINGEN, JULY 06.L_ His Majesty our revered King, his Consort, Prince Alexander, and Princess Sophia, arrived here this morning, and were received with the acclamations of the inhabitants. We do not know how long the Royal Family will remain here. This. evening there is to be an illumination, to-morrow morn— ing a review of the garrison; afterwards a grand dinner s then horse racing, and to-morrow evening brilliant ; fireworks. THE HAGUE, JULY 27.—His Excellency Co , :it J. C. Von Bylands died here this morning ; hr. wa s com mander of the order of the Netherlands Lion and of the Red Eagle, High Chamberlain to his Majesty, and Minis ter of the First Chamber of the States General. MlDDELnunc, JULY 26.—People who‘may be well in formed think there is good reason to hope that the capi tal of Zealand will be honow-ed in the course of next month by a visit of his Majesty. UTRECHT, JULY 28.—M. Dryardin, who has been here as the deputy from Belgium in the Utrecht Com mission, is gone to-day to Hamburgh, where he will re main as Charge d'Affaires of Belgium. NIMEGUEN, JULY 28.—Por some days past various reports have been in circulation respecting instructions that have been received by the collectors of the direct taxes, and by the municipal authorities, to whom the Governor of Gilderland, conformably to directions from the Minister of Finance, has given notice that some taxes, especially the house tax at Nimeguen, bring in too little to the Treasury, and the officers are exhorted, in a manner not very agreeable to them, to proceed to a new estimate, and to increase the amount of the tax. The . inhabitants have accordingly received notice of this new assessment, and consequent increase of the tax, though most of the persons interested have already had their houses valued by sworn appraisers. It may be supposed that this measure is not much approved, especially as people think it may perhaps be followed by an increase of the tax on household furniture. But notwithstanding all the remarks that are made on it, our city will doubt less submit to it, and we feel confident that those of our citizens, whose situation gives them an opportunity ; will find that the measures ordered are legal, necessary, and. equitable.
