Star Office, Gravesend, July 10, 1844. 1~-~ The Sydenham steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander D. Mapleton, arrived at Gibraltar, from Devonpost and Tangier on the 9th inst., and immediately sailed from that port to Barcelona with dispatches for the Ambassador, and was to proceed thence to Malta, with instructions to Vice-Admiral Sir E. Owen, the Commander-in -Chief. As we anticipated a fortnight since, Sir E. Owen, in the Formidable, 84, with the Aigle, 26, Captaia Lord Paget, were on their passage from Malta, and the Sydenham met the Admiral at Barce lona. By this time he will have arrived at Gibraltar, and the Albion, 90, Captain N. Lockver, C. 8., and the Cale donia, 120, Captain A. Milne, will not be far distant. The Fox, 42, Captain Sir H. M. Blackwood, will also be there in a few days, so that we shall have three of the finest line-of- battle ships, two heavy frigates, a 26-gun _frigate, and a few steamers, fully manned and equipped, and able, as Sir G. Cockburn stated, to take their part, whether they meet friend or foe. No. 16,208. LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING SU N, JULY 27, 1844. PRICE sd.

CAPITAL MERCANTILE OPERATION. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed by the Trustees and Executors of the will of the late Francis Rix, Esq., to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auc tion Mart, on TUESDAY NEXT, July 30, at Twelve o'Clock, A Valuable FREEHOLD PROPERTY, alike eligible for occu. pation or investment. It comprehends a ' , • VERY EXTENSIVE AND FIRST-RATE MERCANTILE HOUSE AND PREMISES, AT ST. NEOTS, COUNTY OF HUNTINGDON, suited to an infinity of useful purposes, and, from its great extent, would not have to fear any contemporary rival. There is a frontage to the river Ouze, which is navigable to THE PORT OF LYNN, of 26$ feet, and a further branch of 176 feet, but it must be re marked that the VOCATION OF A GENERAL MERCHANT is already fully and satisfactorily established. It has been carried en for more than half &century, and is decidedly THE BEST MERCANTILE ESTABLISHMENT, AND POSSESSING THE VERY FIRST CONNEXION THROUGH. OUT THE COUNTY, but like any thing else, it must have due diligence, and not disre. gard THE MARCH OF INTELLECT, which is progressing in every department, and must not be lost sight of at Lynn. The premises possess every possible requisite to carry out all the views of an industrious and talented purchaser, which he will find more fay delineated in the printed particulars of sale. It will suffice in this announcement to state that amid a general and extensive trade will be found considerable profit from COAL, TIMBER, WINE, CORN, LIME, &c., and it may be observed that a portion of this extensive range of buildings may be converted into A FIRST-RATE BREWERY AND MALT HOUSE. . . It Is altogether a most desirable opportunity to realise speedily a very large income, and with facilities to increase the present income immensely. The residence is altogether fully equal to the expectation of a first-rate merchant. Printed particulars, fourteen days prior to the sale, of Messrs. Peppercorn and Wilkinson, St. Neots ; Messrs.

THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. MEETING AT SOUTHAMPTON. THE CATTLE SHOW. .... _ The yard was opened at a very early hour, about six o'clock, but there were very soon plenty of farmers hard at work scrutinising the animals, and plenty of material there was for their researches. No less than nineteen frames or tents, each 250 yards long, were appropriated for the recep tion of the animals. The frame to the extreme left was set apart for the horses. This portion of the show did not, how ever, offer very much attraction ; the animals in general ap peared to be of mediocre quality, and did not, therefore, at tract much attention. There were, however, brilliant excep tions. One of these was a thorough-bred stallion, exhibited by the Duke of Richmond, and a more beautiful creature. in point of form and symmetry, could hardly be produced. The first prize of 30 sovereigns, for the best stallion for agricul tural purposes, was awarded to Mr. Catlin, of Bushy, Suf folk, who exhibited a magnificent animal ; and the second to the Earl of St. Germains. Mr. Catlin's horse was very gene. rally admired. He has travelled 1,430 miles during the pre sent season. The Earl of St. Germains' horse was conveyed by Steam from Plymouth. Among the other successful com petitors we may mention were the Right Hon. Mr. St. John, Mr. R. Curtis, and Mr. T. Glasspool, who exhibited very fine animals. Many of the horses shown were of large dimen sions. In the sth class we observed no less than six tho rough-bred stallions. However, taking the horses all in all, the show was, as we have stated, rather poor. Next to the horses came the short-homed breed of cattle. The number exhibited was not, we understood, so numerous as that which has been shown on former occasions, bat what was wanting in quantity was made up in quality. The first prize in the first class was carried off by Mr. John Cooper, of Bankwood, Thengeston, who exhibited an animal of gigantic proportions and great symmetry. It was conveyed upwards of two hundred miles by railway to the exhibition. Mr. Hayter, M.P., obtained the next prize for an animal which was very generally and deservedly ad mired ; and the same may be said of an almost milk white beast from Lincolnshire, belonging to Mr. H. Maw. The Duke of Devonshire obtained a prize for the best heifer in calf in the.fourth class, and the animal was generally highly approved of. Much attention was also bestowed upon a bull of the short homed breed, bred by Mr. C. Turner, of Rooks, Godatone, which was of colossal dimensions. We may also mention a cow, bred by Mr. J. Booth, and an o th er by M r . Farrant, of Ibolton, Cheshire. The latter gentleman exhi bited an animal, which was greatly admired, and by many farmers thought equal to that which obtained the prize. The next neighbours of the short-horns were the Herefords. As in the case of the short-horns, although the numbers were not great, the quality was excellent. The principal prizes were awarded to Mr. William Perry, of Monkland, Leomin ster, and Mr. G. Brown, of Avebury Wells. The numbcr of Devons exhibited was small. A fine cow; of a cross-breed, with a calf, was much admired. The quality of the Channel Islands cattle was judged exceedingly good, but not well suited for the practical purposes of agriculture. The next three frames were appropriated to the sheep, many of which were exceedingly fine animals, both in point of breed and excellence of proportion. The show of Leicesters was capital. Among the successful competitors were, Mr. Watkins, of Ombersley, Stourport ; Mr. Beasely, of Chapel Brampton, and Mr. T. Paulet, of Beeston, who severally exhibited very fine animals. The South Downs were quite equal to the show of any preceding year. The Duke of Richmond carried off the first prize. Some of the long-wool sheep were excellent, and attracted great :Wen. tion. Mr. C. Large, Oxon, carried off the first prize for the best shearling. We understand that the animal was valued at 2001. Mr. Large also obtained a prize for extra stock. Mr. G. Handley obtained the first prize in Class 2, and Mr. G. Smith of Charbury, was declared the winner of the first prize in Class 3. The Hampshire Downs, although of fair quality, were not deemed worthy of prizes. THE PAVILION DINNER. This grand wind up of the social proceedings of the show cook place at four o'clock. The Pavilion was erected at the upper end of Houndmell ; and although considerably smaller than that used at the Derby meeting, was extensive enough to seat upwards of 1,200 people. Earl Spencer occupied the chair. His Lordship also acted as chaplain, and at the beginning and end of the repast pro nounced a short grace, in a loud, sonorous tone. The Duke of Richmond acted as Vice-Chairman. Among the gentlemen present we may mention the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Car narvon, Viscount Palmerston, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Hatherton, Lord Portland, Lord Worsley, Lord Grosvenor, Sir John Easthope, Bart.. M.P., Colonel Challoner, the Chevalier Bunsen, Mr. P. Pusey, M.P., Mr. Hayter, M.P., Mr. Shelly, Colonel Le Couteur, Dr. Buckland, Mr. Benet, M.P., Mr. Cowper, M.P., &c. After the usual loyal toasts, the Earl of CARNARVON pro posed " Success to the Royal Agricultural Society of Eng land." It was a toast which he fully expected would be hailed with an unanimous burst of acclamation.--(Loud cheers.) He knew their absorbing anxiety for the advance of agriculture, and although the appearance of such a body anywhere assembled would give him the greatest pleasure, yet such a meeting in Hampshire—his native and cherished county—inspiring as it did the thought that all the concen trated agricultural intelligence of this great kingdom was collected within its bounds, filled him with inexpressible pleasure. The Society brought together exhibitions of agri cultural skill, supported and advanced by science such as the world could not equal.—(Cheers.) They knew that the ex perience of a single district was limited, and they were too apt to suppose that what was the best in their district was the best which could be produced. Such exhibitions as they had lately seen tore away the veil from before their eyes. Al though a man might return a disappointed, he would not, he hoped, return a disheartened competitor, but would come back to the trial next year, supported and improved by the experience of the last.—(Cheers.) The condition of the la bourer had been an object of great solicitude with the So ciety, the aim of which was to induce him to look upon the enlightened farmer who kept the best cultivated land as his best friend.—(Hear, hear.) Although they often heard it stated that machinery was prejudicial to the lab our i ng man, he did not think so.--(Hear.) The persons who availed them. selves largely of machinery could often employ the greatest number of labourers, thus benefiting in the greatest degree themselves, their poor neighbours, and the country, by in creasing the general amount of human subsistence. It was difficult to calculate the great development of the re sources which might be effected by the progress of agricul ture. He must say that his hopes for the prospects of agri culture were much strengthened by the high moral character of those who were at the head of this Society, and with his heartiest wishes for its continued success, he begged leave to give the " Royal Agricultural Society of England." Earl SPENCER proposed the next toast, " The Foreign Mi nisters present." He expressed his firm conviction that the Society had been of the greatest benefit to England. They had all great reason to rejoice at its establishment, but they would not be so selfish as to confine its benefits to their own land, and they would be most glad to communicate what they knew to the farmers of other countries receiving in re turn the advantage of their varied knowledge and expe rience.—(CheerS.) He had always great satisfaction in re ceiving distinguished foreigners amongst them, and he hoped that they would return with some information which might be of advantage to them in their own countries.—(Hear, hear.) He had great pleasure in proposing the next toast, "The Foreign Ministers present, coupled with the name of their illustrious guest, Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Mi nister."—(Loud cheers.) The Chevalier BUNSEN returned thanks. It was five years ago, at the beginning of the career of this excellent Associa tion, when he was first honoured by an invitation to take part in its proceedings. He was then at Oxford. It was when he had first arrived in England, and before he held any official situation. lie then said a few words to them, and the kindness with which he was then received he should never forget.—(Hear.) He had watched with great interest the rise and progress of the Society. It was unnecessary for him to explain all the reasons why he considered that the pros perity of the State was intimately connected with the prospe rity of agriculture He thought so with respect to this country and to his own. There were many things which must strike a foreigner when he arrived in this great country, but ho knelt , nothing more striking, in the history of the ty:,_ velopment of its mind, than the yearly recurrence of scenes such as that which he now saw around him.—(Cheers.) That country must be pleased and happy for many years and ages which could boast of so many of its gTE at legislators and statesmen who thought it not nnworthy 4. them to conse crate their leisure hours and'theii experience k to the improve- ment of agriculture and the welfare and happiness of those who cultivated the soil— (Cheers)—a country in which the illustrious conqueror himself—(Hear, hear, and cheers) — turned his sword into a ploughshare, and assisted in the p , aceable pursuits of his countrymen. The history of their own conntry, and not less that of Prussia and Germany, proved that country life was the cradle of every civic virtue and military achievement, and the promo. Lion of agriculture ought to be amongst the first of the cares of a good and enlightened Government.—(Loud cheers.) Their Society furnished an excellent example to the rest of the world, and an example which in Prussia they were try- Lig to follow as well as they could.—(Hear, hear.) In those countries of good old Saxon blood, they had all the same love of country life. They loved peace and domestic enjoy ment; and no person could better insure the one, and enjoy the other, than the farmer.—(Hear, hea r .) I n ever y pro .- vince of Prussia they had societies modelled upon the_plan of_ this; they published agricultural journals connected with them, and laboured to bring into general use those Improve ments, the nature of which were attested by experirtce.- , -- (Hear, hear.) Perhaps they would allow him to tell them an anecdote of the King of Prussia, his Royal master, 'when upon his late visit to this country. When visiting the splen did establishment at Eton, and gazing from one of the old gothic windows upon the magnificent scene around him—the ancient structure in which he stood—the fields and woods smiling around it, and the happy faces of the boys gazing up to his—looking at this union of old and new, he exclaimed, "6 Blessed is the country where the old is ever new, and where the new is ever entwined with the old."—(Loud cheering.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by returning thanks for the honour done him. Viscount PALMERSTON proposed the next toast. After an eloquent eulogium. of the Chevalier Bunsen, his cha racter, and his country, the Noble Lord said that the more immediate subject which called him. before them was the toast of " Prosperity to Agriculture, Manufactures, andCorn merce"—(Hear, hear)—those three great branches of the prosperity and power of this country ; three branches in separably dependent upon each other, and intimately inter twined and connected in all their most important interests and relations. Agriculture gave employment to commerce, commerce gave encouragement to manufactures, and then both commerce and manu actures repaid with ample interest the obligations which they owed to their mutual parent.— (Cheers.) Commerce brought back capital—manufactures contributed spirit and demand, and by the united operation of commerce and manufactures, agriculture arose from its plain and primitive condition, until it assumed the proud and pre-eminent position which it occupied in this country. —(Loud cheers.) There was, indeed, no country in the world, he might venture to say, in which these three great sources of national prosperity stood out so boldly in relief as they did in this great kingdom.--(Hear, hear.) Their commerce carried their ships to the most distant parts of the ocean—their commerce was wafted upon every wave which washed the remotest shores of the habitable portion of the world.—(Loud cheers.) Their manufactures supplied the wants and wishes of a great portion of the human race, and their commerce and manufactures creating that wealth which abounded in this country, furnished to the agricul turists those means of developing the resources of the soil, without which these resources could not he brought to bear, and provided also that population which increased the value of the land, and tended to give his due reward to the tiller of the soil.—(Hear, hear.) Commerce, indeed, stood distin guished from manufactures and agriculture, because the func tions of commerce were distributive and not creative. Agri culture and manufactures were both creative processes—they differed more in name and degree than in reality. Agricul ture and manufactures both enlisted in their service the powers and laws of nature, and both were dependent upon the exertion and skill and ingenuity of the machinist.— (Hear, hear.) Indeed, lie might venture to say that if the agriculturist of the olden time, one of those who lived a century or a century and a half ago, should rise from his grave, and witness the magnificent display of manufacturing skill which they had all seen in the show-yards of this town, it would be difficult to persuade him that that great amount of the results of human industry did not belong to the manufacturing enter prise of several large towns, instead of being the implements with which agriculture was pursuing its useful and daily improving course.—(Cheers.) Whenever it had been the misfortune of this country to be compelled, either for the de fence of its interests or the vindication of its honour, to draw the sword, and engage in the calamities of war, the result had been to record on the page of history the triumphs and prowess of British arms.—( Hear.) That result must ever be the consequence of the unconquerable energy, untiring per. severance, and the inestimable resources of our national cha racter. He trusted that the day was far distant indeed when it would be our unfortunate lot to be compelled, by the aggression of a foreign State, to add another chapter to the military and naval annals of Great Britain ; and in the mean time let them employ their national energies in acquiring those distinctions so far superior in point of advantage, and not inferior in point of honour, whkh arose from pre-emi nence in the arts of peace; and among those of peace, what was there more deserving of the cultivation of a great and free people, than instructive and enlightened agriculture?--- (Cheers.) Instructive and enlightened agriculture was the best foundation for high and exalted national character, and was the surest and most enduring basis for permanent na tional prosperity.—(Cheers.) But to encourage and pro. mote instructive and intelligent agriculture was the peculiar object for which this Society was formed. It was an object for the attainment of which it had laboured with exemplary patience and astonishing success; and he might venture to add, that there never was a great association in a great em pire which more deserved than this did the good opinion and support of the rest of the community, or ought more to evoke those feelings of self-satisfaction which must be shared by all who had the honour of belonging to it. The Noble Lord Concluded by proposing the toast, which was received with great applause. Lord PORTMAN proposed the next toast, "Practice with Science." Dr. PLAYFAIR returned thanks. Mr. PUSEY then proposed the " Health of the President, Earl Spencer".--(Loud cheers.) It was not in his private character—most excellent and most estimable as that pri vate character was—that he had to introduce the object of the toast to the meeting ; it was as the President of the So ciety, as its more than founder and creator, that he called upon them to drink Earl Spencer's health.—(Cheers.) He had never shown indolence or lassitude in the service of the British farmer, and he was sure that it was their unanimous wish that he might long be spared in health and prosperity to combine his labours on behalf of agriculture, the cause of which he had so greatly advanced.—(Cheers.) Earl SPENCER acknowledged the toast. His Hon. Friend had said too much when he stated him to have been the only founder of this Society. He had not been its only founder. He had first made the proposition to his Noble Friend the Duke of Richmond—(Cheers)—and both of them agreed that such a Society must and would be of the greatest possible advantage to the country.—(Hear, hear.) It had been agreed between them that he should propose the subject to the Smithfield Club. He did so, and the proposition was re ceived as it ought to have been by English farmers.—(Hear, hear.) The matter continued to advance, and his Hon. Friend (Mr. Handley) aided its progress, by writing a pam phlet upon the subject. He must, therefore, include Mr. Handley among the founders of the Association. But after all, it was idle to talk of originators and founders. He be lieved that the success of the Society would be of enormous benefit to his fellow-countrymen at large. Its success would improve agriculture in the greatest possible degree.—(Hear, hear.) Their m o tto, he wo u ld rem i n d them was " Science and practice ;" but they must not forget that it was very necessary that the practice should be good in itself. He should like to see practice universally good. Science ought to be applied to practice; but the first great object was to have excellent practical farming general over the country. His Lordship concluded by thanking the company for the reception which they had given to the toast of his health. Mr. SHELLY, in a short and energetic speech, proposed "The Ladies present," and the toast was done full justice to. The Earl of CHICHESTER then proposed the next toast, that of "The Agricultural Labourer," a toast which was drunk amidst loud cheering. The PRESIDENT next proposed " Prosperity to the High land and Agricultural Society of Scotland, and the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Irel an d." The Duke of LEINSTER, as President of the Irish Society, said a few words in acknowledgment. The PRESIDENT then proposed the last toast—" The health of the Duke of Richmond, the President of next year." (The toast was received with the most marked enthusiasm, the company cheering as one man for several minutes.) The President observed, that the character and conduct of the Noble Duke had always been such as to entitle him to their approbation. When the Society elected him as their pre sident for the next year, they made a choice w hi c h must have been approved of by every farmer ; and he had no doubt but that their president elect, would carry out the ob jects of the Society in the manner most conducive to its interests.—(Loud cheers.) The Duke of RICIIMOND, who was received with a perfect tumult of applause, acknowledged the toast, and assured the meeting of his deep gratitude for the reception which they had given to him. He would always be found at his post in the maintenance of the prosperity of agriculture, on the well being of which he conceived that all classes of his native land depended.--(Cheers.) He required nothing as a land owner from his tenants which as a fhrmer he would not be' happy to pay.—(Cheers.) The Noble Duke concluded by expressing his gratitude to the farmers of England for the manner in which they had uniformly received him, and his hopes that he would never do anything calculated to make them repent of the confidence which they had placed in him.—(Loud cheers.) The party broke up at nine o'clock. g r s h d t a f a y l DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT BATT t E h R e evening, between ilve and six o'clock, Wandsworth-road, Battersea: :—About u S fo E l A lo7vin T g h f u ri accident, attended with fatal consequences, occurred at . ( t ) he Creek-bridge, Lower TV anciswor t the time above mentioned, a cart heavily laden with grains, and drawn by two horses, was crossing the bridge, in th e direction of Battersea town, having just come from M r. Watney's distillery, when a wash butt, on which was seated an old man and hie son, named Bartlett, drove up in a con trary direction. The old man, without checking his horse, endeavoured to clear the cart, bygoing close to the left-hand side of the bridge, but in doing so the butt struck the para pet, and both Bartlett and his son were pitched off. The son pitched upon his head, and lay to all app earance dead ; the old man fell under the wheel of the cart, which passed over his back and loins. The accident was so instantaneous that it was impossible for the driver of the cart to stop his horses in time, and no blame can be attributable to him. The suf ferers were taken to the Nag's Head Inn, where the boy died in a few minutes after his arrival. Dr. Shaw was sent for to attend the father, but the nature of his , injuries are such that recovery is looked upon as hopeless. Many accidents, 4nd fatal ones, have occurred on this bridge, which is a dis grace to the parish of Battersea. It is not only so narrow as to lie barely passable for two carts at a time, but its con struction and approaches are of the most clumsy and ill-con ditioned character.

The yachts of this club sailed their last match for the sea. son on Thursday. The company were received, as on former occasions, on board the Comet steamer, at the Old Shades wharf, London-bridge. at nine o'clock, and thence conveyed to Greenwich, where the yachts intended for the match were at their anchors off the Royal Hospital. The match was for boats of two classes, the first in each class to be winners, and the second in either class to be a winner also, The prizes[ were an elegant silver salver , valued at 50 guin eas , an d tw a silver guilt cups and ew e r s , valued at 25 guineas each. The distance to be sailed was from Greenwich to Coal-howuf Point (a little below Gravesend) and back again to Green wich. There was scarcely wind enough to make the match one of much speed or excitement; nevertheless, the day was pleasantly spent ; and with the assistance of a good supply of wines and more substantial food on board the steamer, and a military band, the company contrived to enjoy themselves and pass the time agreeably. The start took place at s quarter past eleven o'clock, the following vessels contending: FIRST CLASS. Champion, 25 tons, Mr Gunston, owner. Gazelle, 25 tons, Mr. Rutherford, owner. Phantom, 20 tons, Mr. A. 0. Wilkinson, owner. Enigma, 25 tons, Mr. J. Wilkinson, owner. Blue Bell, 25 tons, Mr. J. Chandless, owner, SECOND CLASS. Sea Nymph, 10 tons, Mr. C. Wheeler, kw., ow ner. Fay, 12 tons, Mr. Hewes, owner. The Sea Nymph and the Fay were allowed a few yards in: the position, to give them the opportunity of canting round at the .tart. The start was thus—Sea Nymph, Blue Bell, Enigma, Phantom, Fay, Gazelle, and Ch am pi on , At 13ugsby's-hole the order was reversed, and the position of the yachts was thus—Enigma, Gazelle, Sea Nymph, Blue Bell, Fay, Phan tom, and Champion. Off Woolwich a change was made; the Sea Nymph then led, and the Blue Bell was second ; but shortly after the Blue Bell became the leading yacht, and kept the lead to Coal-house Point, where the flag buoy was rounded in the order and time following:— Blue 8e11... 33 minutes, 30 seconds past 3 o'clock. Champion 43 minutes, 30 seconds ditto Phantom 50 minutes, 5 seconds ditto Sea Nymph 51 minutes, 10 seconds ditto Fay 56 minutes, 30 seconds ditto Enigma ... 58 minutes, 55 seconds ditto The Gazelle had before this point given in, and retired from the contest. The match back had little variation in the position of the boats. The first that arrived at Greenwich and won the principal prize, was— The Blue Bell at half-past six o'clock. Second, the Champion, at a quarter to 7 o'clock. Third, the Phantom Fourth, the Sea Nymph, at five minutes to 7 o'clock. The Fay and the Enigma some time afterwards. The winners were, therefore, the Blue Bell, the Champion, and the Sea Nymph. The Phantom being of the first-class, though in before the Sea Nymph, could not be winner of the cup for sp e e u e p c s h , , wahnidchhe were andfitlhleedcwomitphamnyin de,ranankd the boat first in of th e secon d c l ass. Commodore Harrison, as usual, presented the prizes to th e v i ctors, whom he ad dressedtheir healthsn a suitablefr ni the banded round amidst the cheers of an immense multitude of persons. The steamer left Greenwich shortly before eight n- ge o'clock, a n d l an d e d h er passengers at Londo b 'd g before duck. All was well conducted and much to the credit of the commander and the officers of the club. ST. BOTOLPH, ALDG ATE, AND ST. KATHARINE'S REGATTA. Thursday tho Sinners' Match, given by subscription of the lovers of aquatic sport in the parishes of St. Botolph and St. Katharine's, took place, and attracted a large concourse of spectators. The match was for a new coat and badge, and several minor prizes, to be rowed by six free watermen's ap• prenticu, and to be decided in five heats. The distance rowed was from off the Custom-house, and round a vessel moored off Downo's-wharf, Lower East Smithfield, twice each heat. The First Heat wad contested by the following young men : William Martell, Irongate-stairs... ......... Orange Richard Walters, St. Katharine's-stairs.., Pink John Moss, Alderman's -stairs..,,,, R. Contrary to expectat i on Martell took the. lead ed and kept it, winning by several' lengths, Walters came in second, and Moss third. -• • Green SECOND HEAT. Henry John Wing, frongate-stairs Samuel Bond, St. Katharine's-stairs ..... Yellow Henry Mellish, Alderman's-5tair5............... Blue. Wing was the favourite at starting and won easily, Mellish being close behind him, and Bond third. Third Heat.—Moss, Mellish, Bond, and Walters. Won by Moss, Mellish second, Bond third, and Walters fourth. Fourth Heat —Wing, Martell, Mellish, and Moss. Wing took the lead and maintained it throughout, and came in first by at least seven lengths, Martell being second, Mellish third, and Moss fourth. This was an excellent match between Martell and Mellish, Moss, though exliibing rJuperior physical strength, was nearly distanced. the Fifth or Grand Heat was between Wing a;nd Martell. The former won easily. The rowing of his opponent was ex ceedingly good, and disappointed some of the "knowing ones" alongshore. It will be seen that thee grand heat was contested by two Irongate-stairs' waterarien, who proved themselves more than a match for their competitors. The match was under th e management of ear. George Rivett, of Alderman's-stairs, and gave undivide'a satisfaction. To pre vent the possibility of a breach of the peace, Inspectors Fox and Josiah Judge, belonging to the Thames Police, were in attendance on the river, and fr.,c civility and general frank ness, under occasionally conflicting circumstances, their ex ercise of duty was quite exemplary. THE POLICE FORCE AND THE PUBLIC. 1 (On Thursday Mr. Henry was engaged at Lambeth -street police-office in investigating a charge of an important nature, as respected the police force and the public, preferred against two constables belonging to the K division of police, named George Hailer, 54, and Edward Hawley, 209 is, for a gross violation of their duty, in unlawfully withholding certain. moneys allowed for expenses to three witnesses, in a case of felony, tried at the Middlesex Sessions, on Monday week. Mr. Pelham attended on behalf of the constables. The constables Hailes, Hawley, and three witnesses named Donovan, Hawson, and Collins, were bound over, at this Court, to appear at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green, to give evidence in a case of felony. They attended accordingly, and after the conviction of the prisoner, they went to the office of the Clerk of the Peace to Obtain their expenses, and the Clerk then gave anorder on the county treasurer for the payment of 2/. 3s. Bd., which the constable Hailes re ceived. The parties, at the request of Hailer, then retired to a public-house in the neighbourhood, where Hailes caned for some paper, a pen, and ink, and after making some, cal culations, he handed the witness Collins half-a-soy ereign, and Hawson 6s. 6d. or 75., she was not sure which saying that those were the proper sums, allowed them by the Co ur t for their expenses. He also offered Donovan 3-, w hi c h h e said was her shar e o f th e expenses allowed ; brit ;he got into a violent passion, said she had observed Ss• opposite to her name, or Bs. 6d., a s th e sum a ll owed by th ie Court, and that she should net take less than that sum Hailes told her 't servants were only u e r ir expenses, and being allowed h at b e t i h g e b t p se ri n n p t e e n d oe list a i d n ay th as e C o o only two days in attendance he co ',ld not think of giving her more. It should be here statee, that In the office of the Clerk of the Peace but a few months before, Hailes repre sented that the witness Donavan was but a poor servant, and succeeded in obtaining 'ier her the highest rate of allow ance, so that the amount tn which she was entitled was 7s. Donovan loft the public-house, refusing to take the 35., and on reaching the house of her master, in High-street, w a ppi n g, she found b ot h Hailes and Hawley there. Hanes again offered ber the 35., but she refused it for the reasons she had before stated, and they left her master's without giving her anything. A night or two afterwards Donovan asked Hawley, who was on the, beat, about the money, and he told her that, as she had refused to accept it, they, namely, himself and Hailes, had divided the 3s. between them. Having left her situation on the Thursday following, Donovan had determined upon calling at, this Court and in quiring into the matter, and on Friday ere attended for that purpose, and spoke to the chief clerk ors the subject. Hales being at the Court with a charge at the time she called, and seeing her, became no doubt alarmed as to the affair, and the consequence was, that the same evening he called at the house of Hawson, one of the witnesses, and sent for the other two• lie then acknowledged that he had made a "mistake" in calculating their expenses, and paid to Hawson and Col lins 2s. each, and to Donovan 55., still retaining 2s. of what was properly due to her. Donovan at the time told him she had been to the chief clerk at this Court on the subject, and that, in obedience to his request, she must attend again, liailes replied that there was no necessity for her attending again; that if she did not call, she would not be sent for, and that the thing would blow over. The constable Hailes said that it was entirely a mistake, that he was very sorry for it, and that as soon as he had discovered it he had paid the parties. Hawley said, he was not aware what was the proper snm to be paid to the witnesses ; that he only received three shillings and half of the other three shillings, whiqh Donovem had refused, and which he had taken in consequence of wkat Mr. Hailes had said. Mr. HENRY observed, that there could be no doubt.what ever that Hailes had been guilty of a gross and deliberate fraud. The Act of Parliament gave him the poaver of en forcing a penalty of 20/. for the offence committed by the prisoner, or of sending the guilty party to prison for one month ; and he did not think he would be discharging his duty toward the public if he did not adopt the latter, and commit him to prison for the whole of that term. With respect to the other constable, Hawley, he wan glad he could take a more favourable view of the case, as, from the evi dence, the only thing against him appeared to be a negligence of defy in not reporting the fact of the witnesses in the case being dissatisfied to his superior officers; but he thought a reprimand for the neglect would suffice. Hailes was then removed in custody of the gaoler, and llawley was discharged.
