Hence the secret of his Nio r ,. %I ce politically dead, the Bishops will be more spiritually alive than ever. For the first time, we shall hear of them among their flocks, acting the parts of good shepherds, and protect ing them from the wolfish incursions of Apol- Ivan. What a miracle of humility and modera tion will Dr. PHILPOTTS become I What a contempt for filthy lucre will the Bishop of DUR HAM exhibit I What a divine odour will that " precious pot of ointment," LONDON, send forth ! We anticipate nothing short of an epis copal millennium—another reign of apostolic saints upon earth, when once the Bishops have surrendered their seats in the Lords. The Bill, as amended by the Committee " to regulate the labour of children and young per sons in the mills and factories of the United Kingdom," has been this morning laid upon our table. It of course bears very little resemblance to the absurd jumble of the Conservative Lord ASHLEY; but it contains enactments to which we most decidedly object, as carrying the prin ciple of interference to an extent which must be as injurious to the working classes, as any in Lord ASHLEY'S Bill. A short abstract of the provisions of the measure before us will not perhaps be unacceptable to our readers. The first clause prohibits all persons, under 21 years of age, from working at night, that is, between the hours of half-past eight o'clock in the even ing, and half-past five o'clock in the morning, except in the case of apprentices and others em ployed in the fulling, roughing, or boiling of woollens. The second provides that persons under eighteen years of age, shall not work more than twelve hours per day, and on Saturday not more than ten. The third, fourth, and fifth clauses provide for making up for lost time by want of water in water mills, damage to machinery, &c. The sixth clause provides, that not less than an hour and a half shall be al lowed for meals to the parties restricted as above, but it is so vaguely worded as to leave it a matter of doubt whether the meal time is to be deducted from the hours of work. The seventh clause prohibits the employment of any child under nine years of age, except in silk mills. The eighth prohibits the employment of any child who has not completed its 13th year, for more than eight hours, except in silk mills, where children, thirteen years of age, are allowed to work ten hours per day. The ninth provides, that children employed in any one mill less than eight hours, shall not be employed in any other mill more than the residue of eight hours. The succeeding clauses, up to No. 14 inclusive, re late to forms of certificates of age, without which it is declared unlawful to employ any child. Clauses fifteen, sixteen, and seven teen, provide for the appointment of inspectors, define their authority, &c. We have said define tl , eir authority, but, in point of fact, it is not defined at all. Clause sixteen says, " the said inspectors, or any of them, shall have power, and are hereby required, to make all such rules, regulations, and orders, as they, or any of them, may deem tic for the due ex ecution of this Act, which rules, regulations, and orders shall be binding on all persons to whom they are addressed, or whom they may concern or interest." Certainly this may lead to no harm, but it may also lead to the most intolerable tyranny ever imposed upon any body of men. If this provision is intended to be acted upon to its full extent, the simple-t plan would have been at once to make over the complete control and management of our whole manufactures to four persons to be called In spectors. Clauses from eighteen to twentv-one, relate to the teaching of children in factories, restricted to eight hours' work, read ing, writing, and arithmetic, and are, in our opinion, tile least objectionable provisions in the whole Bill. The machinery is exceedingly simple, and, we should think, would work well. Clause twenty-two makes the mill owner liable to a penalty for a child remaining within the outer walls of any factory for more than the eight hours. Clause twenty three relates to the mode in which Inspectors shall give notice. Clause twenty-four directs that the interior walls of mills shall be whitewashed once every year. The twenty fifth clause compels masters to have an abstract of the Act and the rules of the inspector hung up in their mills. Clause twenty-six makes parties guilty of forging a certific tie, &c., liable to imprisonment and hard labour for any period not exceeding two months. By the twenty seventh clause, parents and others who receive the wages of children are made liable to punish ment, as well as masters, for their employment more than the time allowed. Under the twenty eighth clause, agents and servants of factory owners are made personally liable. The twenty-ninth clause is of somewhat an ex traordinary description. It provides that if it shall be proved that the propelling ma chinery of any mill was in operation on the day mentioned in the information, before five o'clock in the morning or after nine o'clock in the even ing, the justice or inspector before whom the complaint is made, shall convict the party com plained against, unless it shall be proved that the person alleged to have been overworked had not been employed in any manner contrary to the provisions of this Act on the day mentioned. l'hal is to say, that unless the master shall be able to prove a negative, the mere fact of his machinery being at work out of the hours above mentioned shall be taken as a proof of guilt. A thing more monstrous we cannot imagine. The thirtieth clause makes the penalty for of fences against this Act, not otherwise provided tor, vary from one pound to twenty, at the discretion of the justice or inspector before whom the conviction takes place. The succeeding clauses, up to the forty-first, relate to the form of proceedings under the Act. The most extraordinary is the 39th, which simply says, " And be it further enacted, that no appeal shall be allowed against any convic tion under this Act, neither shall such convic tion be removeable by certiorari or bill of ad vocation into any court whatever." This is exceedingly cool after what we have seen of the power given to the inspectors. What! no appeal from the decisions of men who are armed with an authority almost despotic over the fortunes of all who may be so unfortunate to have invested their capital in manufactures? Unless some change be made in this matter, and the Bill be really carried into effect, there will be no more complaints of internal competition. So far from new factories starting up, people will withdraw their capital out of them as fast as they can. The system to be established will be more irksome than even the Excise espionage now practised.The con sequence must, in the end, be, that instead of the people complaining that they get their bread with difficulty, they will complain that they cannot get it at all. Instead of over -wo rk there will be no work. This was precisely the effect we dreaded from Lord ASHLEY'S Bill. We preferred Lord ALTHORP'B proposition as a less departure from principle than Lord ASH.' LEY'S; but if its details are to be such as we here find them, we have no hesitation in saying that we shall incur all the hazards we dreaded in the more open attack upon the freedom of labour. How is it possible, for instance, that the masters should escape the pits opened for them in clause nine. A child who has been working from five in the morning, comes to a mill to be employed at ten or at twelve; how is it possible for the masters to ascertain the fact if the child chooses to say that it has not been at work? Yet this must be a com mon ca,e it the system of working two sets of children to one set of men is resorted to. The re maining clauses of the Bill relate to de tails for the payment of salaries, &c. Among these clauses is a provision we deem o f great importance, and which we really think would, of itself, almost do away with even the appearance of necessity for investing the Inspec tors with the arbitrary power given them under this Bill. We allude to the enactment requir ing every Inspector to keep full minutes of all his visits and proceedings, and report the same, with the state of the mills and children employed in them, at least once every year, to his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department. Having now gone through the Bill, we must say, that although as a whole it is less objectionable than Lord ASHLEY'S, it is still of a nature which would make it desirable to try the experiment suggested by Mr. BOLLING before carrying it into effect. That sug gestion was to try Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE'S Bill universally, and to appoint inspectors to see it carried into effect. This, with the adoption of the education clauses of the Bill before us, would be quite far enough to go, as an experi ment, in a course acknowledgedly against prin ciple. We trust Mr. BOLLING will redeem the pledge he gave in Committee, and bring forward a proposition to the effect we have stated. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 36 Trusses.)

By the French papers this morning we learn that a frigate, which ha 4 arrived off Brest from Vera Cruz, brings letters from Mexico of the sth of July, which con• tain as follows " The party of the priests and that of the Spaniards do not lose the hope of overthrowing S iota Anna, and placing a Spanish Prince on the throne of Mexico. for which purpose a great deal of money was distributed to a nuinher of soldiers of the army of Santa Anna to get hold of his person. Santa Anna immediately put himself in march to put down this revolt. At some distance from Mexico, Santa Anna was surrounded arid made prisoner by Col. Ariste. General Arago, having received infor mation of this event, immediately caused to be arrested all the families of those persons connected in the plot, and announced his determination that if Santa Anna's life was attempted, he would make a most terrible example. It appears that this threat had the desired effect, as we learn by letters from Vera Cruz of the 14tla that Santa Anna had heen released by the rebels." Halifax Papers to the 9th July have been received at the North and South American Coff-e-bouse. We are happy to state, by the Upper and Lower Canada Papers, that ►roth these provinces continue perf.ctly healthy. Accounts from Nen• Orleans to the 13th June inform us th a the cholera was still raging in that city, and on that day there had ben 55 deaths. It had also re-ap peared in the Havannah. The French and English squadrons had united at the entrance of the Dardanelles in the beginning of July, and on the sth the Equadron sailed towards Samos, to put an end to the disturbances, after which they were again to return to the Dardanelles. THE FUNDS. Up to the present time we have no further information from Portugal, but as a stea , oer is expected to-morrow, the news from Oporto will be of some interest--by which we shall ascertain if Don Miguel's army was able to main tain their position before that city, as it is not improbable he may snake another desperate attempt before he takes his final departure.

THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account 8911. The Public 'Walks' Committee point out three eligible places to be thrown open to the public as proper for public walks. The first is Copenhagen-fields, about fifty acres, which is to be disposed of; the second place is Hackney-downs, or Bonner's-fields; and the third is an extension and improvement of the embankment along the river side to the east of London from Litnehouse to BI ickwall, called the Mill-wall. This place (say the Coinitittee), if laid out as a public terrace, or a walk, would command a view of the opposite coast of Kent, and all the vessels passing up and down the river to the port of Londou. The flowing tide gives great freshness to the air at this spot, which appears very for a r , served public walk ; and the evidence of eminent surveyors shows that this might be effected at a very modera'e ex pense. They also suggest the laying out and planting round the edge of Kennington-common of a handsome public walk. The Committee state their regret at hearing that it is in contemplation to enclose and build upon that pleasant rising ground called Primrose-bill, situate to the north of the Reaent's•park. It is understood that it be• longs to Eton College, and the Committee suggest that me:ins should he taken by Government to secure it in its present open state. There appears to be some impediment, as re gards the signatures in the city to the petition against the Bank privileges, owing to some interference on the part of the Directors, which, if truly stated, is highly disgrace ful to them. It is said that a messenger is sent from the Bank frequently during the day to the places where the petitions lie for signature, and every new name is reported to the hoard, for the purpose, at least that is the con struction put upon it here, of marking the p arty out for future enmity, should he ever corn- to ask for assist ance of the Bank. This is certain—that many persons have refused to sign the petitions, under apprehensions of some such consequence as that above stated. In other parts of the metropolis, the west end of the town, the districts eastward, and in Southwark, the signatures are in proportion much more numerous. We find it stated in the Law Magazzne, that Professors AUSTIN and Amos, and Messrs. STARKIE, KEN, and WIGHTMAN, are the Commissioners appointed to investigate and report on the present state of the criminal SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.—An offer of a considerable bet, an the part of the Earl of EGLINO• TON, to run on foot, a distance of fifty yard+, turning round a flag-staff, and returning the same distance, against a gentleman on horseback, was accepted the other week, and one of the officers of the yenta , nry agreed to ride the match against his Lordship. The race came off on Tues day week, and was witnessed by a considerable number of +pectators. On at trting, his Lordship ran very swiftly. tad reached the flag staff about the same time as the horse, which turned cleverly, but ehyed immediately after. This advantage Was seized by his Lordship, who, turning quickly, made all speed home, and won the match.—Ber wick Advertiser. I M PER TA LPARLIAMENT THIS DAY, TUESDAY, AUGUST 6. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House met at about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock. GRAND JURIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motio❑ of Lord DUNGANNON, the House re solved itself into a Committee on the Grand Juries eland) Mr Boreal in the ch or. Lord DUNGANNON said he had some amendments to propose in the 30th cl iuse (which was under discussion on the last day this Committee sat). He thought it was highly desirable that Grand Juries should be called over, and the'r attendance enforced, in order that not a 1 , -ss num her of Grand Jurors should he in attendance than was neces sary by law for finding a bill of indictment. By the clause as it now stood, each Grand Jury were to be called over morning and evening ; he proposed instead, that they be called over every morninz, and at such other periods of the day as the foreman should deem requisite provided that at those periods there was a less number present than were required by law to pass a Bill which he under stood to he thirteen. Another amendment was that which was suggested by the Hon. and Learned Meniher for the University of Dublin, and to which lie (Lord Duncannon) was disposed to accede, viz., that the penalty on a Grand Juror fur nun_•tttendance should be 40s. instead of si. Mr. SHAW said, he had never (o.jected to the amount of the p-nalry, hut to that part of the clause which male it imperative on the Foreman to inflict the penalty. That power should be vested in the Judges of Assize, and not in the Foreman. Lord DUNCANNON said, the Grand Jury sat not only while the Judges were sitting, but when they were absent. He knew that it was absolutely necessary to compel the foreman to inflict the fine, oche , wise he would not do it. —(Heir, hear.) The Noble Lord also slid, that at the end of the clause he intended to introduce a proviso, to the r ffect that nothing contained in it should ,ffect the authority of any Judge to enforce the attendance of any G and Juror. Mr. SHAW was opposed to that part which compelled the foreman to inflict a penalty on any juror who was absent; it ought to leave in the foreman a discretion to fine accordinz to the circumstances of the case. Lord DUNCANNON—It is only in ea.es where the number of Grand Jurors present was less than required by law. Mr. J. GRATTAN thought the al-erations suggested by the Ni.li!e Lord were gre,it improvements. After a few wards from Mr. RUTHVEN, Mr. LITTLETON thought the proposed alterations would be improvements in the clause. No fear need he entertained that the fines would be unnecessarily imposed, as the foreman was generally a Member for the county, or some gentleman of great influence. The arrangements were not only applicable to the criminal business of the county, but of all business that bad to come before Grand Juries. Mr. WALKER supported the Amendments; he knew it was often the c ise that after the Grand Jury met in the morning, many members of it went out riding and amusing theinsely,s. It was no hardship upon a erand juror to be fined fur non-attendance, b cause if he could •how good cause for his absence the judge would remit the penalty. After a further conversation, between Mr. Shaw, Lord Oxtnantown, Lord E , :rineton, and Mr. O'Dwyer, ano, on the question that the clause should stand part of the Bill, Lord OXNIAN fOWN objected, on the ground of its heine unnecessary to use any such means to enforce the attendance of Gland Jurors as the clause provided. He could not at all agree to the propriety of enacting such fines, and should divide the House aeainst the clause. Mr. S. LEFEVRE said, he was certain that any per son who had observed the manner in which such public business was dispo-ed of, mu-t be convinced of the neces sity of imposing fines on the Grind Juror-, and that those fines stiotod be fixed, and certain in their application. Mr. SHAW declared that he could not see the necessity for it. It appeared to him that the Grand Jurors were stimulated sufficiently by a desire to do their duty effec tivelY, without their being subj.ct to any fines. Mr. S. LEFEVRE rejoined—lt was a constant prac tice that the foreman of the Grind Jury was necessitated to apply to the Court for the infliction of fines in conse quence of the absence of jurors; and that, when their names were called over, with a fine of 5/. to each, the evil was remedied. Mr. O'CONNELL bore testimony to the fact, that at least half a dozen times during each assize the Judge was applied to, and as soon as the absent jurors were fined an imme diate attendance took place; and it followed, almost as a matter of course, that his Lordship was applied to fur a remission of the fines. It was of more con , equence that the power should be v,st. , d in the foreman of the jury, during the absence of the Judge—for instance, before the arrival of the Judge at the assize town. Mr. SHAW agreed with the Hon. and Learned Mem ber that the same power should be vested in the hands of some competent authority, say the foreman of the jury, but not a greater power than would be possessed by the Judge. The !louse then divided— For the clause as amended 37 Against it Majority —3l Mr. GRATTAN moved, as an amendment in Clause 32, after the words " authorised and directed," to insert, " Provided always, that no person in any barony sh ill he permitted to serve twice as a Grand Juror, until all quali. fled persons in their respective baronies shall have been regularly called on to atrend." It was well known by every one acquainted with Ireland, that one of the principal evils of the present system of presentments was, that the Grand Jury were virtually a permanent body, And there was no mode of remedying the evil, as far as he could see, in order to prevent jobbing, and to secure complete parochial representation, than to make it imperative on the Sheriff to select the grand jury annually from the list of qualified persons in rotation. The amendment, as we understood, was agreed tn. Mr. O'BRIEN moved the insertion of words making it compulsory as a qualification that the Grand Jurors should reside in the county from which they were selected. On the recommendation, however, of Lord De NCANNON and Mr. Lzrrt.rroN, the amendment was withdrawn, on the understanding that it sh.uld be attended to in another part of the Bill. The clause wag then agreed to. Mr O'CONNELL proposed an amendment, with resp e ct to the arrangements affecting the Treasurers. There was nothing more common in Ireland than hat Treasurers got rich by lending out the Grand Jury money at interest. The Treasurers in Galway and in Kilkenny were at the head of the banks there, and no doubt existed thai, they had the power of acting in a manner that could not be approved of. Mr. SHAW considered that the amendment would have the effect of preventing all respectable men in the counties in Ireland from becionine suretiea for treasurers. Lord DUNCANNON did not think this a place to discuss each particular case of every individual county-- that was a subject t be I -ft to a Committee up stairs—if not no B II could ever be got through the Mouse. Mr. SULLIVAN was himself surety for one treasurer, and if the amendment now proposed was agreed to, the first thing he should do would be to withdraw his surety ship, and give up his privilege (if privilege it was) of being a Grand Juror. In case the amendment was carried there would be no Grand Jurors found to be sureties. The amendment was then withdrawn. Mr. O'DWYER proposed an amendment at line 27, in clause 33. to the effect of excluding persons holding fictitious rank and deriving grand jury money, being in possessifm of that to which they had no pretension. 111:. O'CONNELL said the object of his Hon. Friend's amendment was good, but as this was not the time anti pl ice at which to press it, he hoped the Hon. Member would withdraw it, Mr. O'DWYER, with all the respect he had for his Hon. and Learned Friend, was still disposed to take the opinion of the Committee on the amendment. Mr. AGLIONBY hoped his Hun. Friend would not press his amendment. Mr. () DWYER said that he would not withdraw his amendment. Clause 33 was then ordered to stand p•irt of the Clau , e 34, with a few verbal amendments was agreed to, and ordered to stand pat t of the Bill. Clause 35, after a few words from Mr. SHAW, with a few verbal amend.nents, was agreed to and ordered to stand part of the Bill. Mr. FRENCH suggested an amendment to the 26th clause, the purport of which it was impossible to catch in the gallery Mr. O ' DWYER objected to this system of compulsory preeentm , nta. Lord DUNCANNON considered this clause to give the beet means of control over the expenditure of the court. Mr. O'CONNELL thought the system of compul.mry presentments was one f the greatest grievances in Ireland. Clause 36, as amended, was then agreed to, and ordered to stand part of the 13.11. On arriving at the 37th clause which provided for th, appointment of engineers. Lord OXMANTOWN moved an amendment, to the effect that such persons should be military engineers. Mr. LITTLETON could not agree tv;th the amend ment. LOl.l OXNIANTOWN withdr: w amendment, au , the clause was ordered to stand part rf the Bill. Clause 34, after some discussion between Mr. O'Dwyer. Mr. Rutheen, and Mr. Shaw, was agreed to. Clause 39 was also agreed to. Clauses 41, 42, and 43, were severally agreed to, with trifling amendments. On clause 44, which provded that work under thy• amount of 51. might he executed by the party applying, without the usual form of tender, but still under the in• spection of tae surveyor, Mr. WALKER proposed the insertion of the sum of 101., instead of that of 5/—which, After a few observations from Mr. Rothven, Lord Duncannon. Mr. Shaw, and other lion. Iletro ers, wa , agreed to ; anrl the clatt,e, so amended, ordered to stand part of the B.U. All the causes up to 49 were agreed to without amend ment. Clause 50 was then put—it was that all labourer should he paid in money. O ' CONEELL and several other Members opposed it, and Lord DUNCANNON withdrew it, promising to renew it in a different form at a future period. After a conversation between Mr. SHAW, Mr. O'Coti- NELL, and Mr. BLAKE, clause 51 was withdrawn. An HoN. AIEMBER objected to its being with drawn, and the gallery was cleared for a division The clauses up to 56 were then agreed to; 67 was struck nut. The Chairman then reported progress, and obtained leave tc> sit again. It being three o'clock, the Speaker left the Chair. GRAVESEND.—The authorities here act vety unwisely in interfering with persons proce,ding to th steam-vessels. On Sunday evening s veral ladies and gentlemen who wished to embark on hoard the Hero, for London, were prevented from j , .ining their friends by t , ree or four men employed on the pier, and one gentle man was knocked down and severly injured. Reall) Audi conduct cannot he tolerated; and we trust that this notice will reach the eye of those who are empowered to prevent a repetiti , m of such infamous oinduc.. The long projected opening in the Strand, from Waterloo-bridge to Charles-steet, and thence to L ng acre, is about to be carried into • ffeet. The inhabitants of such houses as must he removed in cousequ 'nee have received notice to quit their habitations wittiout delay. Mr. Arn'•'ld will, therefore, commence the erection of the English Opera House, which, it is understood, has only been suspended urril thi. ev,nt occurred. The KING has b.'eti graciously pleased to ex press •s his wish that the schnlars of Westminster S •h,, o 1 should have an evra week's holydsy given them, in addi tion to that which, in consequence of the master's recent marriage, was lately promis. d. Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. PAYNE, the Coroner for the City, at the Tower Shades Tavern, Tower-street, on the body of ANTONIO THINCA• VILLE, an Itali in merchant, who was killed by a blow on the head 'morn the mainmast of the S pert), Himhure weimer, which was knocked down in consequence of a collision with a collier. It appeared that the occurrence happened nearest the Midd ese% shore. Mr. PAYNE said he had cons,inted to hold the inquest, as Mr. BAKER. had refused to act. He now found that the occurrence had taken place out of his jurisdiction, and he must, therefore, adjourn the Court. The Jury applied to Mr. PAYNE to °Mir the burial of the body, but he refused. The Jury then came to a determination, amongst them-elves, th ct the body should be buried on the following day, on the ground that it was d ingerous to ke-p a dead body, which was rapidly decomposing, unburied, at a time when an alarming disease was prevaienr. PROSECUTION OF MR. STEELE.-DIS• CHARGE OF THE JURY..---DUBLIN, AUG. S.—After 14e— ing closeted fur a considerable time, the Jury at Limerick found it impossible to agree to a verdict, and were di.- chareed by the direction of the Court, and with the c n sent of the Crown, on Thur.•dav night. Mr. STEELS S defence was grounded upon his effects to diminish aerarian outrage. Udon this point the notoriety of Mr. STEELE'S conduct in Clare, and sub.equently in Kilkenny, prevented any doubt; and the question with the Jury appeared to be the intention, with winch the sentiments charged as Ii beli'us were delivered. It is prLbable the Crown will not seek a new trial, so that the disaiiiertnent of the Ju , y virtually amounts to an acquittal. This is , I believe, the first instance of the failure of a Crown prosecution fur soma time past : but I am disposed to think that the re sult will not produce dissatisfaction in any quarter. As soon as the Jury were discharged, the populace chaired Mr. STEELE to the hotel, from which he addressed them at great length, denouncing certain acts of the present Go vernmenr. His extreme popularity in Limerick may be accounted for by the fact that during the existence of the cholera there his life was devoted to the service of the poor, whom he encouraged and comforted without the walls of the hospital, and within them lie spent his nights, attending to their wants with ad the care and solicitude of a parent.

The Reformers throu:hou• the kingdom have jiis ly cried shame en the '• Reform Administration" for con•inuing in office and power the staff of Tory Lords Lieutenant. We are, however, re joiced to'h ril the appearance of an alteration of the system, and to know that the liberal part of the above list f new Warwickshire Magistrates originated in the right quarter. We do not contend that Tori.s should be excluded from the Commission of the Peace; on the contrary, we have always argued that politics and religion ought not to be essentials of a Migistracy. Our reader will observe that the name, of our two Binning barn repre•enratives, Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD aiiii Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, and of other Birmingham Gentlemen of respectabrity and liberal opinions, although Dissenters, are inserted in the new Commission ; and also the ❑ames of Mr. TOMES and Mr. WILLIAM COLLINS, ot Warwick.

Towards the close of the of ernoon, business commenced on the Doncaster St. Leger, and several horses were backed. Rockingham was backed at S and 9 to 1, the littir being the last odds betted, but a point above the aver ge. Belshazzir was not quoted under 9tol at the finish. Marpessa found backers at 13 to I, while Revenge, who defeated as large a fi-1.1 over a longer course, and at a better pace, had no friends at 2() to 1.

Yesterday was a day set p irt, seemingly, for the Tort rs of aquatic sports. The match having come off between fi ,rris, of Bankside, and Shall of Lambeth, for 20/. aside, to row from Westminster-bridge to Putney, the former winning by a considerable distance. The next in attraction was the annual above-bride sailing match, for a superb cup and cover, given by the Royal Thames Yacht Club. The terms were—to sail from Blackfriars-bridge round a boat moored off Wandaworth Meadows, back again to We.tminster-bridge. The following boats, belonging to members of the Club, were started by the Commo lore : icstris, 8 tons, J. Weston, Esq.—red with a yellow cross. Nymph, 8 tons, T. Smith, Esq.—red over blue . . Mali, 4 tons, Hon. Colonel De Roos—green. Lady Emma, 8 tons, R. C. Bucknall, Esq.—black with red cross. Margaret, 7 tons, R. Holiday, Esq.—white with red border. Water Witch, 8 tons, R. Unwin, Esq.—white with red cross. Fortitude, 8 tons, A. T. Harwood, Esq.—white with red star. The nex', and not less interesting match, was for Chand ler's Third Annual Prize Wherry, which had been post otied to this day, owing to the unfavourable state of the .veather on the former occasion when the m itch Will to have taken place. The terms of this match were—to row from buoys moored off the Ship Tavern, M , llbank, round boat teationed off the S read Eagle, down the Middlesex chore, to a boat moored off Hung,-rford, and hark again to the Ship. Three bests, by sixteen pair of sculls, one above ind one below-bridge man in each boar. The first and second beats in the diet and second heats to start in the .bird and grand heat. While ,i;ver•=ion and hilarity were so congenial to the in. clinatiuns of the water-parties above htidge, the below bridge aindleurs were not a jot the less merry in the en. biyment of aquatic amusem• nt, there being two r.teattat to be decided—one for the S'. Olave's Prizc Wherry, cot. ended for by six pair of sculls ; and the Dog and D vl. Regatta. at Dvt'ord, for a new Wherry, and other poises. To individuanz,! each particular scene of contenti n and festivity is more than our I.tcom , ltive powers or brief space vill admit ot. Suffice it to say, that above bridge deem um ind general good order prevailed. The sailing match .seined to attract the most nurn.rous of the different parties; and a better display of nati , ical skill than on this wcasion was never witnessed. At the appointed time the usual signal was given by the Commodore of the Club, and •he beats elided at first gently, yet majestically, tip the " silver rrrearn" amidst general admiration. T , e Lady Emma took the iead, pressed by the Fortitude; hut by a little artifice the Vestris soim headed her nppunent., and , naintsined her adv.intage during the whole of tea con test. The boats came in in the billowing order : Veatris - lust, which received the cup and cover; Lady Emma econd, and the W.ter Witch third. The other ba s vere a considerable distance behind. Chandl-r's match vas not decided before eight o'clock; the Winners being R. Mann and W Ashdown, bath of Blackfriars. Altogether this was one of the finest treats old Father Tnaaus could .fford.
