MODELS of VENICE and LONDON in the OLDEN TIME, Painted by Danson and Telbin. The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former mecedent ; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extrasrdinay beauty and fidelity of delinea t i0n,,.0 re unanimous in pronouncing it the mod. wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific disp!ay at Ousk is unjust; it should be seen in the calm, stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evading PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mon 'ays ' Tues days, Wednesdays , and Thursdays cont.ucted Mr. Gorlfrey. are up n a scale of more than usual excellence; init words fail in • doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearful I;h3racteristics are truthfull y y pourtrayed, but at the same time so ueautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Art, , iiat delight is predominant over terror; and the thousands who nightly crowd the Gardena hail it with acclamations, and admit that St.uti.bv,!.he Unrivalled Pyrctechnut has achieved a matchless triumph.

Accounts have been received from Tangiers which leave little doubt that the war between France' and Morocco is at an end. This will be a terrible blow to the fire-eaters in Paris. They calculated upon serious results from the march of Marshal BUGEAUD into the territory of the Moors. They repudiated the interference of the English, and would be satisfied with nothing less than some important station oppo site to Gibraltar. They knew well that England could not stand by quietly and allow any maritime power to establish itself on the Straits, and they cheered on therefore BUGEAUD and Jonivii.Ln to act with decision. Wofully have they been disappointed, and furious will be their outcry against M. GulzoT for suffering the English Consul to have one word to say in the matter. There is no chance of war then in that quarter, and they must fall hack upon the Pacific for some more substantial ground of quarrel. There must be no compromike then. " One PRITCHARD" excited the Otaheitans to rebellion against their protectors. PRITCHARD must be sacrified, and B&UAT and D'AUBIONT exalted to the rank of patriots, and if their Foreign Minister acts with common justice and common honesty, he will be denounco.. as a traitor to his country. No man who has attended to the spirit which animates the Op c.sition journals of Paris for some time can fail to see that their object is war—war without rhyme or reason against England and Louis PHILIPPE. We believe, however, that these rabid journals do not re present the feelings of the French nation. There are many good and great men in that country who know that war could not benefit France, that England wishes to live at peace, that they have gained much under the administration of the present Sovereign, and that before they risk a collision between the two greatest nations in the world there must be some other casus belli than a miserable squabble about a petty island on the other side of the globe. When a Prime Minister of Great Britain, in the thirtieth year of a profound peace, is compelled to supplement the vast revenue of the country, amount ing, on an average, to some 48,000,0001. per annum — by the continued infliction of so intolerable an impost as the income-tax, producing between five and six millions a year additional, the unfortunates who en joy the distinction of being mulcted 7d. in the pound on their respective incomes, in addition to their pro portionate contributions, in all manner of taxes, to the general annual revenue in question—have some prima facie reason to complain. All Sir R. PEEL'S plausibility will not overcome the reluctant conVjction of those who are to be mesmerised out of their seve.7 l -: pences for the satisfaction of this cross-bred property and income•tax—that the superfluous cash, of which he would so blandly relieve them, would be better in their own pockets than in the Treasury coffers. There is, in natural philosophy, no principle of re pulsion so strong as that which is excited in a tax payer by the contact of a tax-collector. In the whole range of chemistry, no affinity has yet been detected so active, universal, or tenacious, as that which directs the fingers of the Government to the money of the governed. In practical finance the extinction of a profitable tax, whose productiveness has once been tested and realised, is a result more hopeless than, in human pathology—the extirpation of a cancer that has once established and rooted itself in the system. These, or some such reflections, operate with your tax-payers, when they demand how it hap _ _ pens that with a rapidly growing trade—on which the Minister dilates with the view of eulogising his own Government ;—with a largely accumulating pub lic income, on which he expatiates in order to decry that of his predecessors ;—with an economised expen diture, on which he relies for inducing the Parliament to grant his estimates ;—the greatest and surest branch of permanent revenue should have, for the last seven or eight years, exhibited an almost uninterrupted tendency to decline ? Does the Government, which demands a cool addendum of six millions, to the vast product of Customs, Excise, Stamps, and Post office Duty, Land-tax and Assessed Taxes, hereditary and miscellaneous heads of revenue, sufficiently watch and examine into its receipts in these various departments ? The recent investigations into the unbounded and audacious frauds practised at the Cus tom-house give a general negative to the last ques tion—founded on a particular case, which will well repay the cost, the trouble, or inconvenience of the most searching and protracted scrutiny that can be applied to it. If there be one man in the empire who, at this time of day, is prepared to concur in the ex pectation, avowed with a simplicity, which we might almost term effrontery some twelve months since, on the part of the Board of Customs, that' bad as the case was, "the public had been by that time apprised of the utmost extent to which the re venue had been plundered in the department of her Majesty's Customs ;" we take it his credulity will be dissipated by the most cursory perusal of the last Report (supplementary to that of 22d May last) of the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry—ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on the 17th ult. From this report we have no space at present for making any quotations ; but in the course of next week we shall feel it our duty to submit large ex tracts to our readers, for their better insight into a system of wholesale fraud, conspiracy, and robbery, such as, perhaps, was never before practised to an equal extent on the revenue of any State. From such an exposé of utter demoralisation in so many liberally paid servants of the Crown—of participated guilt common to lower and higher classes of officers, each, and all of them, charged with responsible duties, that they have most scandalously violated—of imbecility, neglect of duty, and in conceivable inefficiency, in the superior authorities of the department ;—we rise with feelings of mingled astonishment and indignation. Not one member of the Board of Customs—of the Commissioners them selves—ought to be exempted from the most rigorous examination by this Commission of In quiry, as to the grounds upon which he proposes to excuse the culpable, the slumbering, incompetency of the body, in its collective and in his own individual capacity, pending the long existence and practice of these delinquencies. Not only do the most alarming circumstances, when brought to their notice, appear to have awakened but a very slight or absolutely no suspicion of misconduct ; not only do discreditable acts and general conduct, notorious through all other branches of their office, appear to have been profound and sealed mysteries to them, and to them alone ; but their demeanour in reference to proceedings ultimately adopted, in some few eases, seems to have been still marked by the same incapacity. Officers were suspended, only, by them against whom they had ample evidence -to justify a sentence of immediate dismissal ; or, after being reported, were not even in terfered with at all until their later offences, or the subsequent examination of confederates, compelled the Board to steps of tardy punish ment. Nor does our accusation against the Com missioners of Customs themselves stop here. We concur with the Commission of Revenue Inquiry on reprobating the mode in which they delegated the examination of offenders, whom they should have in terrogated themselves, to authorities more or less im mediately subordinate, whose conduct in managing such inquiries was exactly conformable to the antici pations that might have been formed from the impro priety of their selection. In the case of WYCHERLET, a weigher, it is abundantly evident that inferior officers, having most important testimony—afterwards fully es tablished—to tender against the malfeasance of the func- tionaries next above them, were so discouraged, so manifestly intimidated, by the apprehension of se riously prejudicial consequences to themselves from coming forward with such information, that they either withheld it or gave it in a form much more meagre than they would have done. In the affair of Mr. LONG (a landing waiter since dismissed, his malversation having been unquestionably proved on a subsequent investigation), the Board remitted the case for examination to Mr. Ross the Surveyor- General (an officer whose own conduct is shown to be open to much animadversion in another part of the Re port). " Mr. Ross (Report, p. 3) did so ; and recom mended the acquittal of Mr. LANG, and reported un favourable of WYCHERLEY. The Board coincided in his view of the case, and continued to place confidence in LANG, but removed WYCHERLEY from where he was a check upon LANG, ' and sent him to the docks ; a removal which was, in fact, tantamount to a punishment." The Commission add—" We found from the admission of Mr. Knox, the landing surveyor, that when before the Inquiry the story was mentioned to him, WYCHERLEY was sent for, and cautioned as to his proceedings, and told that such a course would cause his dismissal Prom the service, by making charges which he could not prove." Again—" There was evidently a predetermined impression that WYCHERLEY was sure to be wfong; indeed, the whole of the proceed ings bear more the character of the trial of WYCHER LEY for misconduct and drunkenness, than an investi gation into the conduct of LANG for being concerned in defrauding the revenue." We only add, at pre sent, that this accusation was substantiated. What must we think of the whole system on which the Customs' Department has for years been conducted ? The Morning Herald of Saturday last came out with a desperate rebuke to the Anti-Corn-law League, en mos*, and a censure (meant, to be extremely dig- nifieg , for Mr. C OBDEN , i n s p ec i a l. Th e ex hibition, as, usu a lly happens to very angry remonstrants, is a most unfortunate one for our Contemporary " at her time of life"—for Mr. COBDEN, it seems, has now lent his authority to the vague rumours that have long prevailed as to the sex and senility of the complainant. People should not permit themselves to be betrayed into such a pucker about what she calls " Mr. COBDEN'S impertinences." The very exclamation one might have anticipated from ancient and somewhat irritable prudery ! But we did not expect to find our doubting question of Friday last, so speedily justified, as well as an swered. " What will be thought in Shoe-lane," we then inquired, " of the license which Mr. COBDEN allows himself in toying, in Covent-garden Theatre, Iwith such disreputable topics as political economy ?" And, lo! on Saturday, the lady of that manor repu diates all Mr. COBDEN'S good-humoured pleasantries (delivered, too, in such a place and neighbourhood) as " impertinences," and, with a sad lack of temper, asks—" What is to be expected from uneducated persons, placed by circumstances in a posi tion for which they are ludicrously un fitted." Mr. COBDEN, for whom this is palpa bly intended, needs no vindication at our hands — nor from any others. He is so well able to vindi cate himself, that we are sure, it will never occur to him that this is matter which should call upon him for any notice of a feeble—scolding ! Besides, his sobriquet has attributed a certain age to the party. " Hine ill lacrymee." He can scarcely have a right to complain of any resentment exhibited at such an affront. Yet let it be permitted us to remind the Morning Herald that the facts attend ing Mr. COBDEN'S attainment of the "position" he occupies supplies the best proof that he is eminently " fitted " for it. To have been the rallying point of the League, the inexhaustible, indefatigable, in- N l;ncible,-exppsitor of its "great argument," within th e w :lls of Parliament, and without it in a hundred different i,Nrts of the kingdom,—to have faced all op position, coin' ted all discussion, challenged all anta gonists,—to have achieved, in these combats, so many victories, acquired so many supporters, conciliated so many enemies—all this ./'esPeaks, surely, the posses sion of no ordinary average f intellect —no every- day amount of moral and physi'cal energy. We say nothing of the discouragementi and difficulties under which he has obtained the I:`lsPect of both parties in the House of Commo.'°, and a high degree of consideration even amore those classes of the community—(they are few, inde,N l ) who are still opposed to his doctrines of free-trade, cx that much larger portion of the public who still resist his doctrine of low prices. But the Herald, of all papers under the sun, we should have expected to find among the most eulogistic admirers—or enviers—of a man, through the instrumentality of whose extra ordinary tact and unremitting perseverance, a fund of 50,000/. in one year, and of 100,0001. in another, has been subscribeed towards the purposes of the League. But the Herald, with the report of last , week's League meeting in black and white before it, is so infirm or so jaundiced of vision, that it believes the Association's," influence, consideration, and respecta bility (if it ever possessed any) have disappeared." There are certain ages, and certain social relations--- that the Herald is supposed to know something about—which require artificial aids for the cor rection of natural infirmities. Where were its spectacles when this was written ? Or could nobody be found to read its own report aloud? But in what follows there is something which implies so great a hardihood in an ancient lady—who should, in all things, discourage the habit of speaking untruths — that we almost blush for our friend. " In good truth the life or death of the Anti-Corn law League, considering the quantity of influence it has had on public opinion, is a matter of the greatest indif ference, except inasmuch as it is to be lamented that con federations for the extortion of money have become so frequent as to be springing up and disappearing almost annually. Whether the League be at present dead,' or merely in a swoon, we do not possess sufficient skill to decide. If it be only the latter, however, its managers would do well to look tkat the public be not deceived by its quietness, and bury it in oblivion by general consent.' Fie! fie! If the life or death of the League be so indifferent to you, why so angry at its proceed ings and its leaders' speeches ? If you suppose it dead, why denounce in the intemperate terms that ' crowd the article before us, the vehicle of a "screamer," as brother Jonathan has it, against Mr. COBDEN, Mr. BRIGHT, and all Radicals,—against Mr. D'IsRAELI, and all others of Young England or Old, who are opposed to the policy of your hard task master, Sir ROBERT PEEL ? If you believe thatthe League is only slumbering, why in such haste to pronounce a parting denunciation against it ? Another time, our fair (?) Contemporary will do well to be less angry or more artificial. She defeats her own object of misrepresenting, by exaggeration and inconsistency. Vituperation is not the language of indifference. Iro be believed in charging Mr. COBDEN or any other Member of the League with " scurrility and abuse," the Herald should not recriminate in language precisely of that quality. But if it thought the League, indeed " a ricketty speculation," how came it to devote a very conspicuous article to its at tack ? it ought to have fallen, of its own accord. On the contrary, it will live to quiz the Herald again, next year, and to the tune, we suspect, of " money in both pockets." We have received Madrid papers of the 2d inst., but they bring no fresh intelligence. The capital was tranquil. The Three per Cents. were done at 27}, at6Odays; the Coupons at 24k, for the 13th of September ; and the Floating Debt at 59, at 40 days. A cowardly article in an Evening Paper, which has pretensiowto official information relative to the arrest and expulsion of Mr, PRITCIIARD from Ota heite, has induced the war party in France to believe that the English Government have yielded to the French, and that no reparation will be demanded for the " gross outrage, accompanied by gross indignity." Even the French Government papers, though they ought to be better informed, infer that the affair is all but settled. These are the words of the Journal des Debati' :—" The English journal admits, and it is what we have said from the commencement, that the English residents, after having protested against French occupation, were bound to wait for instruc- tions from their Government; that if they have thought proper to resist by their own strength, they have done so at their own risk and peril, and without having a right to claim in any way the protection, or engage the responsibility of, their Government, which they had not consulted. It admits that, in the case where Mr. PRITCHARD had commenced by his own actions a private war against the Government at Otaheite, the English Government was not bound to follow in that path one of its subjects, who was acting without its authority ; and that the French authori- ties considering themselves legitimately in possession of the sovereignty, it was not only their right, but their duty, to deport Mr. PRITCHARD. The ques tion, it will thus be seen, is much simplified, and we are persuaded will be promptly and honourably ar ranged." We believe that the statements referred to are entirely destitute of foundation, and that the Eng lish Government have in no way altered their views of the subject. Sir ROBERT PEEL, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Lord ABERDEEN, have all ex pressed their sentiments in language not to be mis understood, and though the outrage has been repeat edly referred to in both Houses, they have never made an admission, or anything resembling an admission, that they would yield in this manner, and throw Mr. PRITCHARD overboard. Such random statements do immense mischief. Far from satisfying the war party in France, they only make them the in their demands, and heap additional abuse on England. The Courrier Francais, and, indeed, most of the Op position journals, have songs of triumph on the oc casion. The accounts in these papers from Morocco, though they add little to the previous intelligence, are, on the whole, of a peaceable character. According to the Presse, the French and Belgian Governments have entered into new Commercial ar rangements for a mutual reduction of duty on certain articles of import. The following are said to be the proposed modifications : France is willing to lower the duty on raw hides, imported from Belgium and of Belgian origin, from If. 20e. per 100 kilogrammes to 50c. per 100 kilogrammes. On dry hides the duty will be lowered from sf. to 2f. 50c. The present duty on rough marble is 2f. 70c. ; it will be reduced to if. The duty on hops would be lowered from 65f. 50c. to 45f. And the duty on pit coal will be also lowered from 10c. per 100 kilo grammes to sc. per 100 kilogrammes. Belgium, which has hitherto exacted a duty of 83c. on French pit coal, will reduce it to sc. The manufacturers of Ghent having to complain of the opposition they meet with in the printed cottons of England, the Belgian Government has resolved to raise by 50 per cent. the duties exacted at present on English printed cottons at their frontiers. It offers to France to except it from the ordinance upon that subject, and, as far as regards France alone, to maintain the present duties. Lastly. The resolution of the 14th of July, 1843, which raised the duties on woollen thread and cloths, and upon fancy articles and artificial flowers, will be withdrawn, as far as the pro - visions regard Frante ; or, in other ivordo _THE SUN, LO DON, MONDAY MORNING, AtTG-TIST 12,_ 1844 the resolution will hold good in regard to all other countries, t but will be withdrawn as regavds France.

LISBON, AUG. s.—On the 31st ult., the anniversary of the first promulgation of the constitutional charter in 1826, the Queen held a levee at the Ajuda Palace, and at night went to the Opera in grand state. On the following day her MRiesty returned to Cintra, where the Court is staying for the summer. The French frigate Adour, brig Yolage, and steam-vessel, left this port some days ago, for the Mediterranean, and the Tagus is now without a single foreign vessel of war of any nation, a circumstance which has not occurred before for se v-ttral years. The heat of the weather, which was intense during the second half of July, has now moderated in some degree, but the thermometer still rises every day to 80 and 82 in the shade. The Diurio of this day contains a " Carta - Regis," or royal letter from the Queen to the Patriarch, an nouncing to him that the Pope has, by a bull, commenc ing " Quamvis quo apostolim solicitudinis," authorised the extinction of the old cathedral establishment, and the formation of a new one in its stead.

Launceston papers to April 1 have been anticipated by more recent accounts from Hobart Town. The reports from the manufacturing districts relative to the s tate of trade are very satisfactory, and the same may be said with respect to those upon the produce markets here. Everywhere there is steadiness of demand and absence of excitement, with an ample, ,though perhaps not quite so superabundant= a supply of cash, and the auspi cious weather, despite Otaheite bile, Morocco froth, Spanish embriglio, and Ministerial vaunting, . puts all classes interested in commerce in good spirits, so powerful is felt to be the influence in this country for good or evil, of a rich or deficient harvest. Trifling as to many the circumstance may appear, we are told that the aggregate amount of money taken out of the country by absenteeism, whether of the more op ulent o r middling class of our coun trymen year, is er i very d i ealivisiting the Co n ti nen t a b o ut this time of. considerable—startling in fact—and the loss i p which under the pr esent system of currency must be incurred on the ex chan g es b y the remittance of it to the o annuitants, besides the total abstraction of the sums spent, may be easily conceived. Mr. Vigo's tables, illustrating the intrinsic value of our and all foreign coins, the most accurate and complete, perhaps, ever framed, will go far to aid in the gnpreciation of this fact. :he Stock Market is quiet to-day as to the actual amount of business doing, but prices are very firm.

THE NEW STEAM-VESSEL RE- GUL ATIONS. On Saturday the Committee of Aldermen assembled at Guildhall for the purpose of hearing objections to the proposed by-law' for the regulation of the steam vessels. Besides the several gentlemen who appeared on the previous Saturday on behalf of the steam-vessels, Mr. Cruden attended and represented the Star Gravesend Steam-vessel Company, and the other companies were also represented. The Lord Mayor was in the chair. Mr. CRUDEN objected to the second by-law, which gave to the Watermen's Company the power of be coming the owners of several steam-vessels. The Star Company, he said, most emphatically submitted that it was never contemplated by the Watermen's Act to give such authority to the Watermen's Com pany. They were wholly unfit for the exercise of such authority from their total ignorance of steam navigation, and from the prejudice which their interests excited against the new power. It was distinctly un derstood, when the Act was brought in, several years ago, that steam-vessels were to be excluded from its operation, so that there appeared to be no rational ground for supposing that the power which was de nied to the Watermen's Company at that period should be conceded to them now. The LORD MAYOR said, that upon looking at the powers which the Court of Aldermen possessed, they did not think 'it necessary to apply to Parliament at all, and they had no notion of doing so. They had a right to frame certain regulations for the protection of the public. The proprietors had surely no reason to complain, for hitherto they had had it all their own way ; they went as rapidly, and carried as many as they pleased through the river; and the time had arrived when the advantages they had taken of the power they supposed they possessed must be checked. As to the Watermen's Company, it would be for the Court of Aldermen to decide upon the propriety of allowing them to be agents. Mr. CRUDEN respectfully urged the necessity of getting rid of the interference of the Watermen's Company. Alderman IlumrnEßr said that Mr. Cruden evi dently was of opinion that the Watermen's Company was wholly incapable of judging between the small craft in the river and the great power of steam which had risen up, and that the Watermen's Act was never framed in contemplation of the existence of such an authority in such a body. He (Aldermen Humphery) was convinced that some of the Watermen's Company knew nothing about steam navigation. Sir J. PIRIE said there was no doubt whatever of that fact; neither was there any doubt that the Wa termen's Company must have a feeling against steam • vessels. The LORD MAYOR said, the first question to be de cided was, whether the regulations proposed were proper regulations ? The next was, who would be the proper parties to carry them into effect ? He wished to know from Mr. Cruden whether he con sidered the regulations in themselves objectionable ? Mr. CRUDEN said the Star Company took their stand upon the objection to the Watermen's Company as agents in carrying out the regulations altogether, and they could not take any steps till that com?any was altogether repudiated. He spoke with all respect to the Committee, from whom he had received much kindness and respectful treatment. If the Committee would propose to them a code of regulations, wholly independent of the agency to which they objected, they would at once proceed to the consideration of them, and he entertained no doubt that the result would be most satisfactory. Sir JOHN PIRIE said he saw very plainly that the objections of'Mr. Cruden comprehended the two great points in question—the speed and the over-crowding. After some discussion the Committee determined to decide upon the objections which had been made on the last day of meeting, on Thursday next. STATE OF TRADE.—We do not remember at any time greater activity in the principal branches of manu factures than there exists at present, except when that activity has been of a speculative and feverish character. Throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire, in the Cotton, Woollen, Worsted, Flax, Linen, Silk, Cutlery, and Machine-making businesses, trade is lively, and we be lieve all hands are employed. The poor-rates are, of course, exceedingly relieved. If we should be blessed with a good harvest there is every prospect of another year of prosperity. And here we have another proof of the connexion between prosperity and cheap food. At present there is the prospect of an abundant harvest.— Leeds Mercury, MANAGEMENT OF INFANT CHILDREN.—Friday Mr. G. I. Mills held an inquest at the Cock, Brook-street, New-road, on the body of William Joseph Mott, aged eight weeks, the illegitimate child of Sarah Mott, 'a young servant out of place, residing with her mother, at No. 20, Fitzroy place. The child was born healthy, and continued so for a month, when it became cross and convulsed, and its grand mother, who had the chief care of it, began to give it small doses of gin and water, wine, and syrup of rue and oil of almonds. These liquids afforded temporary ease to the child, but destroyed its appetite, and it died on Saturday night last, having refused the breast and every sort of food for the or fonr days previously. A medical man was only once consulted, about tan days before the child died. The grand mother of the child considered her knoWleaaP of the treat ment of children equal to that of any doctor, and iheretore did not think the aid of any one necessary.- " The grace of God," site said, " and nothing else, caused the death of the c hild." Mr. Mills said that giving the child gin and water and wine, was only keeping up the disease; aqd though the grandmother thought she was a sufficiently good doctor, her treatment of the deceased child proved the reverse. There were many dispensaries, and plenty of surgeons, whereby advice could be obtained at yery little charge, and he thought it strange that the relatives of deceased had not taken advan tage of them. He cli4 not think the case one criminating any person, but it would have been amelt more §atia4Ctory if a doctor had been consulted within some days of the child's ' death.

The great contest for the championship of the Thar°, 4 took place on Saturday, the result of w hi c h we hastea,v communicate to our sporting readers. It is unnecessa r y for us to enter into any lengthened e x or di um o n the O f ,feet of this great race, as those to whom it w ill be of 01 Y interest must be acquainted with the fact of their hav ing been given for competition among gentlemen smilers. The race was expected to be something approaehi% to first-rate, from the well-known prowess of the gentlemen engaged in it. Mr. Chapman, who held I, t honorary distinction in 1839, 1842, and 1843, had in contest of each year exhibited such extraordt° l 7 s power and pluck as a sculler, that it required a good man to dispossess him. Mr. Bumpstead, of Leander, the winner of the challengers' trial heat 1 % 'l , Monday, as his opponent on the present occasion, wl e t person of no mean skill or ordinary game, as was eyi r l er o by the fact of his havin g d e f ea t e d a ll th e best acilla of the day, save Chapman, who was not a compeitiwg l r e ed the Great Thames Regatt a a nd at Henley. .4%,„ race was, therefore, reckoned upon ; b u t unfiirtutlav — I.if b o was at such a time in the day as prevented mall?' " would willingh have subjected themselves to a trifli°P nconvenience from witnessing it. Mr. Bishop officiated in lieu of Mr. Lewis, $: umpire ; and about half-past ten was rowed by A crew of picked watermen to the starting place, follo w by the Leander, the Royal Academy, and other clubs, and a considerable number of other gentle" in boats of different denominations. Mr. Chapman w o the choice of station, and to o k the outside place, ha presume from a feeling that there was more tide to found there. The start was taken very evenly, and,, after $ fel : strokes, Mr. Bumpstead gradually drew in advancel, t i ci, labour on the part of either gentlemen being beaut l h o Mr. Chapman, as they neared L ucas ' s - roa d, which tß h o passed outside of, made a plucky s p ur t to o verhaul r oo opponent, but the other putting the steam on at the moment no change took place. Mr. Bumpstead 0 0 h i l l Horseferry just contrived to draw his stern clear of vi , opponent's head, and in rounding the point off the re,,o tentiary, went further in advance. On entering the d nthe reach Chapman again made a powerful spurt, an o t i other following his example, they went by the lead 0 , 0/ 1 at a rattling speed, but Bumpstead having a clear i t b, of about four lengths. At Battersea, at WandsOod and. indeed, to the very goal of victory, Chapman r° is as fine a stern wager as ever was seen, but was una b l catch his opponent, whose sculling was the theo3'det general admiration, and Mr. Bumpstead passed n n Ar Putney-bridge the winner by half a minute. Both b 7 ticmen appeared to have had enough of it. 641 CRICK ET.—Friday a match of cricket was P lO. a ir at Garratt's- ground, Copenhagen-house, between elee ll ; of tlemen of Old Lincoln's Inn, against eleven g entlein e qr sat New Lincoln's Inn.

NORWICH THEATRE.—Mr. Webster and ---a c o. Celeste have been performing with the greatest st.: fic ior at Norwich. The favourite pieces of Suzanne, ' d i e m and Hortense, The Trumpeter's Daughter, The Viva s olea and the Pretty Girls of Stilberg, have drawn or e rare houses. These pieces, says the Norfolk Chronicle, „ogi afforded an opportunity for the display of the 1 90 6 intellectual qualities of Mr. 'Webster and a sull Celeste. Nothing can be more elegant, more - t ete graceful, more playful, more feminine, or bil o / fascinating, than the comedy of the lady ; Leo the energy and force with whi c h s he _deli ° to re, the stronger or more tender passi o ns of our 13fi ca st, are equally vivid and impressive, and her L o d unconquerably French, serves only to render her r oc io more piquant. Mr. Webster has abundant li v ii .its) with an ample share of happy, buoyant, animal sP cet i• but he has also deep feeling ; and the power of co ems' trating his emotion, till it bursts forth in an over* P oslai ing torrent of passion, which shows how the 11 00 ; 0 00: and makes the audience feel also.
