GRAND . ROWING MATCH. (THIS DAY.) The long pending matefi, for 100 Solis., between Robert Coombs, of Vauxhall, and Robert Newell; of Battle-bridge stairs, came off this morning. These men about six weeks ago contested for the same sum, when, owing to the roughness of the weather, an accident occurred to Newell off Wandsworth, his boat get ting. swamped, and himself narrowly escaping by jumping into his cutter, when he was a hundred yards a-head of Coombs, who was awarded the money. A second contest was made to row for fifty aside, and that it should be from West minster-bridge to Putney-bridge, with the tide, and start from either place at the, option of Coombs. This morning, at ten o'clock, it was agreed that the starting-point should be Westminster-bridge. At hal past 10 they took their stations ; bets were in favour of Newell, and the toss for stations was also in his favour. Newell took the outside, and his opponent the Middle sex shore. They went off in good syle and continued nearly equal, up to Millbank, when it became evident that Coombs was gaining slightly a-head of his adver sary, who was, it appeared, loosing his confidence, as he appeared to row rather wildly. Coombs, how ever, still kept to his work, and succeeded in going through Vauxhall Bridge about a boat's length a htad, and continued to gain gradually upon his ad versary. On arriving at Battersea-bridge, Coombe was, at least, eight boats' length in front of Newell, and ultimately came in first at Putney, being the win ning man by some minutes. Newell, upon his coming in, seemed very distressed and to suffer much in his right arm. - The match, considering the' time of the year, was well attended. MARYLEBONE-(THIS DAY.) Alice Lou's , charged with robbing Lord Frankfort, with whom she was living, of jewellery to a consider able amount, was this day brought up before Mr. Long, for final examination. Long before the usual hour, the Court was crowded to excess. The prisoner did not appear in the least anxious or concerned at her situtaion. The former depositions were read over by the clerk, and assented to by the witnesses, and this being the whole of the evidence for the prosecution, the prisoner was called upon for her defence, when she said, " All 1 have to say is, that Lord Frankfort gave me the things produced in this Court, and he did so to induce me to leave him." Mr. Adolphus reserved his defence for another Court, and as no witnesses were called for the de fence, the prisoner was committed for trial. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FROM THE EVENING PAPES OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The Standard of last night con tained the following piece of sufficiently alarm ing—though, we are happy to add, evidently groundless and fictitious—intelligence " With pain, but without hesitation, we lay be fore our readers the following extract from a hurried letter written on the 27th of August, at'Bombay, by Major Mcasiter, of the 28th Regiment " Bombay, August 27, 1842. • . " The Colonel is going away in command of a brigade. It therefore.' fall into the command of the regiment. We take the field immediately. Most disastrous news [have] arrived [from] the interior. The 41st cut to pieces. " [A ;reference to some private affairs follows.] " Yours, &c., "JOHN MESSITER: " The Standard, it is true, employ's its powers or reasoning to show that the writer of the " hurried letter" had been " misinformed ; and that his melancholy statement is either al togeher ground less, or the gross exaggeration of some trifling reverse." This, we take leave to say, so far from justifying our too credulous Contemporary in giving circulation through his columns to an apocryphal and, as we think, wholly Unfounded communication, is at once the strongest imaginable condemnation of so utter a perversion of the newspaper press. Had our Contemporary, on returning the MS. to the party by whom it was transmitted, assigned his reasons for refusing to publish such a commu nication, he might have destroyed its claims to credence in the estimation of the family of Major Messiter, and prevented its publication. Or had he found in some contemporary print—if, indeed, any journal would have so far risked its reputa tion with the public, as to have given such an un supported *document insertion—then the Stan d(' 'Yrs argument, showing the improbability ofthe statement having its origin in truth, would hive been worthy of respect. I t i s no l ess the dutytity than it is the interest of the public press, to pre. • serve the public feeling from th ose alarms which. credulity, ignorance, or cupidity may occasion ally excite, than it is to aid th e p u bli c m i nd in its endeavours to arrive at a right judgment upon important ascertained facts. But that a journal possessed of thoseapialities which form the bases of pliblie confidence in matters pertaining to facts, and such facts as involve the fate of an army and tl (possible safety of au empire, should publish f extract of "a hastily written letter," ? •iving intelligence wh i c h must create most distressing apprehensions in the minds of the fa mily connections of the regiment stated to have causing scarcely lesspainful been "cut to pieces; " suspense throughout a wider circle, made up of those whose husbands, sons, and brothers are in the "interior," fro m which it is vaguely, but not on that account less alarmingly, stated that "most disastrous news [have] arrived"—while it would produce general alarm, if not immedi ately met with a demonstration of its utter destitution or truth—appears to us to be a course so new, so strange, and so mischievously cruel, that w e only anticipate the justly-merited cen sure Of the introduction of the unfounded and Absurd statement to the columns of the S tandard, ~, 1 " we express a decided opinion that its publication —even Contemporary own sbowin, en upon our Contempo . do no rirood —vvas utterly uncalled for: it could thuis r'eloa;kand might do much evil. The T i mes cutati„ g hos - PPon . the folly and mischief of cir intelligence on such subjects: — " Rumou rs o f and however.stated,such disasters, however vaguely such ready i mprobable in themselves, receive painfelly excited as while the public mind is so s to tr-esent, and occasion such poignant distress represented to be cut off, pleasure in being enabled from that we feel peculiar pleas' the best informed sources, to contradict this painful report." Happily, in the present case, . ' , t " hastily written letter," ascribed t o M ut tains internal evidence which - rej_tessitere r mis chievous tendency of therostasstees to be perf ectly renders the ineffectual. The letter pre front Bombay, Aug. 27, an official letetewitten r fro In the highest authority in Bombay, dmed Aug 28, v.iting `'the latest news " front c andah . • tnakes no allusion to the report of such ar , entrenee; nor is there the slightest allusion eVt'llto the rumour ofsuch an event in the India,, journals. The most satisfactory evidence of the is, however, derived from " the Major's" s:at,. / ,,,„ t . Th e writer represents himself as tieing about to assume a command, in conse quence of t vents of which those front whom the orders under which Le represented he was about to act cotilil alone einanate, Were altogether • igeor..nt 1 We also are favoured with a. communication : not the oxtraet of a i ‘‘hurried lett e r," but taken from one written n v information not merely coolness, and. containing . ev: servin of credit, but of entire reliance. The d letter from which we give the following extract is from Captain Wetlierall, of the 41st Regiment—which the ASYetatiard's Correspondent represents as "cut to p i, c - es "—who is in command of a detachment . of his regiment at Bombay. The letter .is dated " Bombay, Augu st 24," and is addressed to Mr. Wynn Williams, of the Temple:— " We are about to make an attack on Hyderabad after the monsoon, with 5,000 men, under Sir C. Napier. I shall have about 400 or 500 men of the 40th and 41st, I expect, under my. command. TLe Ameers are possessed of immense wealth, and the place, though strong for natives, cannot resist cannon long, the walls being very high, but weakened by being so much loop-holed. We expect to go from this about the 10th of September." We understand that the letter stated to have been written by Major Messiter. is treated with unmixed ridicule in all military circles. STANDARD.—It must not be concealed that the late arrangementt in the Government of Ca nada have caused considerable dissatisfaction in this country, as well as among the British party in the provinces more immediately concerned. This dissatisfaction ought to surprise no one; but before we condem Sir Charles Bagot for what seems, prima facie, a violation of the rules of common policy, and an outrage upon political morality, let us fairly inquire whether he is a voluntary agent. It is usaless and unjust to say that the late Canada appointments are merely cases of the miserable and ever-failing concilia tion policy, and to ask, as some of our friends have asked, what would be thought of removing Sir Frederick Pollock to make room for Mr. Feargus O'Connor, in the hope of giving satis faction to tne Chartists ? There is no parallelism 'in the respective conditions of Canada and England. If unhappily there were—if; un happily for us, the division of the Conser vative party were so violent, or the strength of the Radical party so formidable, as to give to the latter an ascendancy in Parliament, why we might even expect to see Mr. Feargus O'Con nor or any other of their favourites usnrping the office of the first law officer of the Crown. The Constitution given by the Whig-Radical Go vernment to the Canadas has, in fact, given to the legislative body the same complete control over the Government possessed •by the House of Commons in this country ; and it was the purpose of the Whig-Radical Minis ters to produce this effect, for they avowedly laboured to establish what is called " a responsible Government" in the colo nies—that is, a Government not responsible to England, but responsible to the local Legisla ture. This is a new experiment, and it is a fearful one. An Executive responsible only to a local authority, will, of course, chiefly con sult local interests, or what are fbr the time thought to be local interest ; and though to all right-thinkin men the great inte rests of all parte of the British empire must remain for ever the same, occasions will inevitably arise when local interests shall be thoeglit repugnant to the general interests of the empire, and on such occasions the local Oovern ment must, according to the new Whig-Radical constitution, take part against the country from which it derives its authority. The good sense of the colonists will, we •trust, cause such occasions to be rare ; but that at some time or other they will arise seems to be a certainty; indeed, the present circumstances of the colony seems to present an exaggerated instance of this monstrous anomaly; but we willingly assign those circumstances to the influence of late events, rnd to the effect of power in inexperienced hands. The loyal people of Canada will probably learn to moderate their opinions, and to reconcile minor" differences, when they find that the effect of continued irri tation and discord is to force upon the Govern ment the necessity of placing in the highest offices of the State persons lately proclaimed as enemies to the empire. THE SUN, LONDON, 'SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1842. PEKIN . "Russia," says the Moniteur, "has maintained, during the last century, a convent and a school at Pekin, which have been the nursery of her inter preters in the Chinese and Mantchou languages. Every ten yearn the personnel of these two establish ments is. renewed, and a fresh batch of monks and pupils are sent off from St. Petersburgh. The expedi tion, under the direction of an officer, crosses Mon golia and proceeds beyond the great wall. During their stay in Pekin, the Russians are at liberty to walk through the city and visit everything, without exciting the uneasiness or jealousy of the Government. An officer of that nation, M. Kovenko, a major in the corps of Mining Engineers, has just published, in the Annu2ire des Mines de Russie, the following sketch of the environs of Pekin. That capital is situate in a plain, bounded on the north-west by a chain of moun tains, which the Chinese divide into northern and western, from their Situation relative to that city. " The northern mountains extend within a day's i journey from Pekin, or about ten French leagues. In summer the road is very picturesque, the country being highly cultivated. The yellow millet is, in the opinion of the Chinese peasantry, the most precious of all plants. Its seed constitutes their principal food, the stock. serves as fodder for the cattle, or a substitute for hay, which they never think of reaping in that country. The straw• of another species of millet, which grows to a height of 15 feei:, is employed to make garden fences, and is also used for fuel. " Near the northern mountains are springs, the temperature of which exceeds 45 degrees. The water is conveyed through tubes into bathing places cut in the calcareous rocks, and lined with sheets of lead. Early in springy numbers repair to these bath s , either on account of ill hellth or for the sake of amusement. The Imperial fatnily has a palace there, and in the neighbourhood are several temples, in which the weary traveller may seek shelter. The hospitality of the priests of Khesan andDao, however, is not gratuitous. M. Kovenko states that they charge 18 rubles or 20 francs for a few hours' repose, and that they exact 25 rubles for one day. This will give an idea of the cost attending the shortest excur sions to the environs of Pekin. The valleys of those mountains abound in fruit trees, willows, pine trees, juniper trees, cypresses, but the ground is nowhere thickly wooded. "The western mountains contain valuable coal mines. The coal , is so abundant that rich layers are to be met with every half league. The Chinese, how over, are so obstinate and so backward in the art of mining, that the country derives no advantage from its mineral wealth. Machinery being altogether un known, the people have not even the idea ofusing pumps when the works are inundated. When theground admits, they open galleries for the water to flow out, and they abandon the mine when it is ent;)-ely under water. Their system of ventilation consists in opening holes at certain distances, above which are placed wheels with paddles, which are turned by men. But those wheels, although constantly in motion, produce little air. The pickaxe, wedge, and hammer, are the only tools they use ; th e y clear the soil IN i ill the pickaxe, and drive the wedge into the coal with the hammer, and thus contrive to extract pieces weighing from 30 to 40 kilogrammes. Coal sells at a very low price in the capital of China. It is burnt in bronze vases, used as stoves, in the spat tment, or its _.eat is distributed through the houses by tubes fixed in the walls. "''hose precautions against cold are extremely lgteh that thhaeti inhabitants rt heyitakebeverage, of and means e which vo a even n re preservingt he i n wine. thwe useful h lt lb i ji° at t i s wP p a e er n kn s a ini b n' themselves from the rigour of the winter, for it often freezes and snows in their capital. M. Timkowski saw the thermometer range at 12 degrees below the freezing point on the 31st of December, 1820." THE ROUTE TO SUEZ. A few days ago we saw in a Contempora-y a para graph, in woich the land journey from Alexandria to Suez wrs described as most uncomfortable, in conse quence of the bad condition of the horses and carriages employed. It would seem, however, that the writer had drawn upon his imagination for his facts, because the Marquis of Tweedda e, no brd judge of such mat ters, gives quite a different version of the story in the lei;ier of which we subjoin a copy : " Suez, Aug. 22, 1842. " SIR-I can have no hesitation in saying that I have been very well served in travell'ng the Desert, both in regard to transport as well as lodgings. The carriage end horses were of the best kind for the De sert, the carriage being easy, and the horses goOd, and very ste:dily driven by Mr. Hill. (Sigoed) " TWEEDDALE. " To Mr. Raven, Messrs.

A young man, named John Wilson, one of those scheming vagabonds with whom the Metropolis abounds, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having defrauded Mr. Tanner, upholsterer, of the Minories, a tradesman of great simplicity of cha racter, of furniture and money. From the com plainant's statement, it appeared that the prisoner called upon him and introduced himself as a military tailor, who was making clothes for Captain Clarke, a gentleman of fortune, and that the Captain was anxious to have a chest of drawers, and a stand, and as he was a very particular man, it would be neces sary to be punctual as well as particular as to the preparation of the pieces of furniture. The com plainant undertook to make the articles, although Captain Clarke never called to make any selection, being satisfied with the pattern exhibited by the pri soner, who desired that the drawers should be sent as soon as possible, to a court near Lincoln's Inn•fields. The complainant managed to get the drawers ready at the Lime appointed, and took them to the address, but no person of the name of Wilson was to be found anywhere in the neighbourhood. Atter having waited at the place between two and three hours, the complainant and his porter roturned home. The pri soner soon afterwards call2d, and said he had made a mistake about his address, which really was at No. 6, Bear-yard, Lincoln's Inn-fields, to which the drawers must be speedily sent, as Captain Clarke was very angry at the delay. Next morning the complainant sent two boys with the drawers in a truck to the new address, and told his porter to follow them to see that the drawers were delivered with pro- per caution. They were accordingly delivered to the prisoner, who subsequently called at the complainant's shop, and not only procured the stand but eight shil lings to pay for what were called " fittings out." The prisoner had neitl - er paid for the articles nor returned them. The LORD MAYOR—I suppose Captain Clarke did not call to pay for the goods ? Complainant—N o• I never saw Captain Clarke at all.—(Laughter.) I was convinced the Captain had the articles, for the prisoner told me he was making military clothes for the Captain. The LORD MAYOR—I suppose you would not have put the drawers into the possession of the prisoner, if he had not conjured up this Captain Clarke as the purchaser ? Complainant—No ; Certainly not. The complainant then stated that he heard no more of his drawers or stand until some clays atter, as he was walking along the Strand, what should he behold at the door of a shop but the identical new drawers he had made for Captain Clarke.—(Laughter.) Well, he was surprised ' • and upon going inside to sper i c to the shopkeeper, what should he see but his new st ,nd, which he thought was safe along with the drawers in the custody of Captain Clarke.—(Laughter.) So he asked the shopkeeper of whom the things had been purchased, and the answer convinced him that the per son who had sold them was the prisoner and not Capt. Clarke.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Flower, who attended for the prisoner, asked the complainant whether it was not the fact that he gave the prisoner a fortnight to pay the amount of the bill ?—The complainant, who spoke all through the examination of Captain Clarke as if he believed the Captain was nct a creature of the prisoner's imagina tion, said the prisoner told him the moment the regi mentals were paid for, which would be in a week, the money should be forthcoming. Mr. Flower submitted that, although there was evidently sinister dealing upon the part of the pri soner, yet the case was clearly one of credit. The LORD MAYOR said he would not allow a fellow like the prisoner to slip through his hands, because a poor tradesman happened to be credulous. Hawkins, the porter employed by the complainant to follow the boy who conveyed the drawers to the prisoner's residence in Bear• lane, said that when he observed the prisoner had no shop he mentioned his surprise at the fact, upon which the prisoner said t did his business, of which he' had a great deal, in private way.—(Laughter.) The Loup MAYOR—Did your master say any thing to you about the payment for the drawers ? Hawkins—No not a word. The prisoner took the drawers into the house, and shut the door.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Complainant, to whom did you look for payment ? Complainant—l expected to re -1 ceive the money through the prisoner's hands from ' Capt. Clarke.—(Laughter.) I have since ascertained that the prisoner is not a tailor at all, but a cabinet maker, so that he never received any order to make regimentals for Capt. Clarke at all.—(Laughter.) Mr. Priest, of No. 370, Strand, stated that the pri soner, whom he had seen frequently pass his shop, and whom he believed to be a cabinet-maker, called upon him about a week before they had any dealings together, and asked him whether he purchased drawers, stating to him at the same time, that he had a chest at No. 6, Bear-lane, and wished him to call and look at it. `Witness, who never for a moment suspected the inte grity of the prisoner, called after another application, and saw the drawers and stand, and offered 51. for them, which the prisoner rccepted. The complainant said the money he was to have received from Capt. Clarke was 61. 12s. for the articles. The LORD MAYOR said there was not the slightest imputation against Mr. Priest; but the prisoner was evidently one of the swindlers who very ingeniously marked the distinctions between a robbery and a roguish debt. His Lordship wished to know whe ther the young gentleman at the bar wished to say anythiler? Mr. }lower —No, my Lord; he hes no desire to say any thing. The LORD MAYOR—We will see what a Jury will say to the case. I think there is matter for a Jury. Mr. Hobler—The question is whether he has not obtained the goods and the 'money under false pre tences. He creates this Captain Clarke, and upon that foundation he builds all the rest. Mr. Flower—After all, he tells a mere lie, and and through that lie h e ga i ns cre dit. Th a t i s done every day. Ido not at all attempt to deny or ques tion the criminality of his conduct; but to send him for trial will be only to put the county to needless expense. The LORD MAYOR thought the experiment by no means an improper or an extravagant one; and he should hold the prisoner to bail in the sum of 1001. and oblige him to find two sureties for 501. each, to appear at the Central Criminal Court. Prisoner—Mv Lord, I shall be able to get the mo ney to pay Mr. Turner. The LORD MAYOR--YOU must give me 24 hours notice of bail. Prisoner—Please your Lordship, I shall be able to pay the gentleman before Monday the money I owe him. The LORD MAYOR—You must get him the price of the articles you got possession of. I dare say you will be able to get the money from Captain - Clarke without taking home the regimentals to him. —(Laughter.) The prisoner was then sent back to prison. BO W-STREET. Margaret Angus, Alexander Johnson, and Hugh Steele, were placed at the bar on the charge of stealin g eight Si. notes, the property of Thomas Fairweather. Mr. Robinson, the attomey, conducted the pro secutior. Thomas Fairweather deposed that he was a purser in the Navy, and lived at Market Weightor, Yorkshire. On the 20th of August last he was lodging at Miss Shepherd's, No. 7, Arundel-street, Strand, where the female prisoner was a servant. On the 19th of August he placed eight 51. notes in a portmanteau in his bedroom, leaving the key in the room. The female prisoner saw him d)u n t ° l r thatt the bi eposit th e notes in his portma n t eau . O n th e morn ing 21st, roon st,wiei:ny was esswgonente. The na to hispo i r e t i mr e t eau and t*( prisoner also hfri absconded. Miss Itobina Sheppard, No. 7, Arundel-street, deposed that the ;O.nale prisoner entered her service on the 6th August. S'..o stated to witness at at next a three o'clock that time tla , t she had c ome up from Manchester wiih two men named Johnso n an d S teele ; and that r,iiv,ly she oshnel4'listomeetthem on the Waterloo-bridge. On t ha e t x t d dyr yeo went out, and witness saw her speaki ng to 'the two other prisoners. On the 20th August she asked to go out again for a few minutes to buy a collar. Wit ness gave her permission to go, and she never returned. She had previously stated to witness that she had no money whatever. Sarah , Hudson kept a coffee-shop at 54, Fore street, Limehoese. The prisoners, Johnson and Steele, lodged with witness in the early part of August. On the 20th August the female prisoner came to witness's house. She esked witness to go and buy a bonnet and cap for her. Witness did so, and in payment for them she tendered a Si. milt. Witness went to another shop with her, where she changed another Si. note. William White, shopman to Cornelius Helginius Tambs, of Shadwell, proved that on the evening of the 20th of August, the three prisoners came to his master's shop, when the female purchased three black silk handkerchiefs and three pairs of stockings. She tendered a 51. note in payment. All the-e notes, which were produced, were iden tified es being the same as those lost by Mr. Fair weather. Several other witnesses were called, who con nected the prisoners together in a variety of private transactions.

ALFRED SIIAW.—This lady's friends having in the Times contradicted—though in somewhat ambiguous terms—the paragraph which appeared in our Review last week, respecting her origin and pro gress, we have referred to the correspondent who furnished us with the information, and from him we learn, that the statement is question appeared in the Musical World of the 22d August, 1839, as extrrcted from a letter of the European correspondent of the Evening Star; and, although upwards of three years have elapsed since publicity was given to this para graph in the English and American journals, we have never heard, until now, that any denial if its accuracy has been attempted. We did precisely what the daily paprs have done with us—copied a paragraph from another journal; cheerfully seizing that oppor tunity of passing a just eulogiuin upon the talents and accomplishments of the subject of it. We have not been furnished by Mrs. Shaw with the means of refuting the paragraph which hi's attained so much publicity by its simple transfer to our columni; nor has any letter yet appeared in the daily journals from her or from any of her friends (except anonymous ones) denying the statement. IVe. can, however,' assure Mrs. Shew that, in reprinting the paragraph . which has created so much unnecessary indignation amongst her friends, we had no desire to wound her feelings, as the complimentary remarks with which we prefaced the statement will sufficiently testify. Mazzinghi, the celebrated composer, used to boast of h:s having, when a boy, swept out and lighted the orchestra of the Italian Opera House ; and the names of Eldon and of Sugden, of Lawrence and of Blizzard, with a lost of others, may be cited as honourable in stances of lowly origin attaining to high eminence in this country. With regard to Mrs. Shaw's con nexions, we know them personally to be of the highest respectability, and that part of our statement of last week concerning them cannot be impeached. The father of Mrs. Shaw was for many years mess-master at the palace, and by him she was, in 1838, placed in the Royal Academy, which she quitted three years afterwards to visit Italy.—Dramatic and Musical Review.

SUGAR.—There has been more activity in the market for West India Muscovadoes Sugar this week, and mer chants have been less desirous to realise; for yellow de scriptions the demand has been good, and the market has been nearly cleared of such at prices fully equal to those of last Friday, indeed the supply has been barely ample for the wants of the trade ; grey sorts have been In steady request, and brown have secured a fair sale at the former currency.
