TAE QUEEN OF OITDE'S PETITION. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition, signed by the Queen of Oude, her eldest son, and the brother of the King. They expressed the deepest regret at the late news of the defection of the native troops in India, and they deny all complicity of the late King of Dude with those proceedings ; that the family had ever been, and would continue to be, loyal to the Crown of England. Toty prayed that the charges against the late King of Oude might be clearly Fitt foitb, in order that they might be dispr,ved. Lori ST. LEONARDS pointed out that the petition presented by the noble and learned lord from the Queen of Oude, conveyed no prayer to the house, and that it was objectionable inasmuch as it expressed an opinion on the erits of a case now under investigation, Lord REDESDALE called attention to another omission to the petition, which rendered it informal. Their lordships would observe that the word " bumble" did not occur once in the wording of the petition. Lord CAMPBELL said, as the petition was declared to be informal, of course heshould notpress its reception. Ile wished itto be distinctly stated that the petition was sent back in consequence of the omission of the word "" humble." The petition was then withdrawn. THAMES CONSERVANCY BILL. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented a petition from the merchants and traders, and owners of proper'y on the banks of the river Thames, against the Thames Conservancy Bill. The petition ought to have been presented before, but it had not come into his hands before the bill passed.________ BANKING BILL. Lord ST. LEONARDS complained of the hasty manner in which this ball had been passed through the bon=e. It had been his intention to move the insertion of certain amendments to provide for the putlication of accounts and other safeguards, but in consequence of the hurried way in which the bill was disposed of he was precluded from so doing. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY denied that there had been any undue haste in passing this bill. He bad informed the noble lord that he intended to proceed with the bill, and he must see that if the bill had been postponed it would, taking the advanced p'riod of the session into consideration, have endangered its passing this year. ILLICIT DISTILLATION (IRELAND) BILL. On the. motion of Lord REDESDALE, this bi 1 was read a first time. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY (CAPITAL) BILL. The Commons' reasons for disagreeing from thi..ir lordships' amendments on this bill were considered and agreed to. LUNATICS (SCOTLAND) BILL. Their lordships went into cornmittee on this bill, and the whole of the olinges were agree:l•to, MILITIA. BILL. Or. the order of the second reading of this bat, The Duke of RICHMOND sug4ested every encou• raZernent sboul i be giVen to volu.iteering in the regular army. He trusted that all c,l nels of militia regiments would, to the utmost of their power, promote volunteer ing into regiment; of the line. r 1 PANMTJRE said it was most important that the proposed new regiments should be embodied as soon as possible, with the view of filling up the vacuum causzd by the departure of the troops fer He fully agreed with the nab duke in what be had said as to the encouragement to be given to voluntesring from the militia into regiments of the line. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said it was satisfactory to hear such favourable reports from officers of militia regiments. He was of opinion that the ranks of the army could not be better replenished that by volunteers from the militia, which had always been looked upon as a reserve for the regular army. He hoped, therefore, that every encouragement wont) be given by the commanding officers to promote such a system as would best carry ont so desirable an object. The Duke of BUCCLEUGH said . he fully concurred in all that bad fa'len from the illustrious duke, and as far as it was in his power he should give every encou ragement to volun' eering into the line. The bill was then read a second time. (LEFT SITTING HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Thin Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' Amendments to the D arset Central Rah way, Rbymocy Railway, and Watchet Harbour hilli were considered and agreed to. EASTERN BENGAL RAILWAY BILL. Mr. C. FORSTER moved that the Eastern Bengal Rail way Company Bill be considered, and read the third time forthwith ; prints of the bill having been deposited with the doorkeepers yesterday. SCINDE RAILWAY. Mr. C. FORSTER moved, that the Scinde Railway Company Bill be considered, and read the third time forthwith ; prints of the bill havir.g been deposited with the doorkeepers yesterday. NEW ZEALAND LOAN GUARANTEE BILL. The adjourned debate upon the second reading of this hilt was resumed by Mr. HENLEY, who said that he should vote for the second reading of the bill, but unless that portion of the measure which authorised the application of the loan to the purchase of the land of the natives was omitted when the bill was in committee, he should feel it his duty to vote against the third readii g. Sir J. GRAHAM thought the security ought to be minutely examined on which this guarantee rested, as he objected generally to the practice of granting loans to colonies. He would therefore suggest to the Colonial Secretary the adoption of the following motto :—" No lender be, for the lender loseth both his loan and friend," and provided this measure received the sanction of Par liament the Government would have to bear the respon sibility t f passing it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the colonies were of the greatest advantage to the commerce of the country, and in order to secure the prosperity and good government of their colonies they gave them finan cial assistance, more particularly if they required it in their earlier years. Tue present bill was founded upon that principle, and he thought the Government was per fectly justified in taking the steps they had. At the same time he must admit that the coloni-ds of New Zealand had no I , gal claim on the house. They merely appealed to the generosity of the British Parliament ; and, under all the circumstances, he thought the house might give the appeal the most favourable answer. Mr. ADDERLEY urged upon the house the necessity of passing the bill, which was calculated to be of the greatest service to the colony. Mr. W. WILLIAMS and Mr. GILPIN opposed bill. __ e L ord A.

Although gether disapproving of the system of Governm ent guarantees, in this case he should vote f or th e second reading of the bill. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it 23 Majority The bill was then read a second time. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said as they were so near the day fixed by the House of Lords, beyond which no bill would be read a second time, he proposed that the bill should be committed this evening after the other orders of the day. Tae motion was agreed to. SALE OF WASTE LANDS (NEW ZEALAND) BILL. Mr. J. A.

The bill was read a second time. NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT ACT AMENT- LAW INTELLIGENCE.-Aug. 5. VICE CHANCELLORS' COURTS-AUG 5. (B4ore Sir Richard T. Kimiersley.) IN RE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK, EX PARTE ACTION AGAINST A ,SURGEON FOR UN SKIFUL TREATMHNT.-RAMAGES, 501. At the Manchester City Court of Record, on Monday and Tuesday, before Mr. Monk, Q.O , deputy-recorder, an action was brought by Mary M'Gee, a reeler, now out of employment, to re cover 501. from Mr. Thomas Wilson Dyson, sur geon, of this city, as damages for negligent and unskilful treatment of her broken arm, by means of which treatment she bad been totally deprived of the use of her right hand. Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Sou-, and Mr. Cettingham appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Ovens and Mr. Leming for the defendant. Mr. Wheeler having opened the case, the plain- tiff, Mary M•Gee, stated that, on the 17th of February, 1855, about ten o'clock in the forenoon, she was walking on the flags in front of the Royal Infirmary. The snow was on the ground, and the pathway was very slippery. Having slipped her foot, she fell, and broke the radius bone of her right arm. She was taken into the infirmary, where the bone was set acid the arm bandaged, and splints put on. She then went home, and after wards sent for Mr. Dyson, the defendant, who arrived about six o'clock the same evening. He unbandaged the arm and examined it, and then replaced the bandages and splints, saying it was perfectly right. Her arm felt bandaged tigh` er then than when it was bandaged at the infirmary ; and she soon after had a pain wbioh she had not felt before. She was unable to undress, or obtain any rest for four successive nights, in consequence of the great pain in her band, which felt "as if something alive was moving inside.' Four days after the accident she again saw Mr. Dyson, and told him of the pain she was suffering, and that the bandage was too tight ; but he said it ought not to be slackened. He, however, gave her some sleeping draughts. The pain continued in her hand and wrist for the next three days, when Mr. Dyson called again. She still complained of great pain, and also informed him that sbe could get no rest. Ho said he could not slacken the bandage unless her nails were black, which would be a sign that it was too tight ; but ordered her more sleeping draughts. He afterwards attended her at intervals of three days, and on each occasion she Complaine i of a continuation of the pain. On the 17th of March be removed the splints. He hand was then a dark colour, and flat; and there was a round place on the ball of her thumb, about the size of a halfpenny, which was of a very black colour. Mr. Dyson then put on the splints again, and said they must remain another fortnight. She still continued in great pain ; and on the Wednesday following Mr. Dyson told her that on the following Saturday (the 24th March), he would put on lighter splints, and "remove her out of purgatory." On that day he accordingly removed the splints, when her thumb had a hole in it. He then told her to go home at once, and get to bed, and apply a poultice to her hand, for sloughing had set in. She went home ' to bed, and Mr. Dyson 'visited her at her house. Dnring the last week that she was under his care, which was in the beginning of May, she went for advice to Mr. M'Dowell, homoeopathic doctor, who ordered her to dust it with flour, but she did not do it. A few days after she went to Mr. Milner, and continued to apply to him for advice during 18 months. Her hand was healed by Mr. Milner ; but she bad completely lost the use of it, and was unable to follow her trade. _ Mr. Ovens, on the part of the defendant, com plained of the length oftime which had been allowed to elapse before bringing thi4 action, and the injus tice of calling upon Mr. Dyson to speak to things which bad occurred more than two years since. He cont.nded that the success with which his client had cirrie I on his profession for so many 3 ears in Manchester was a sufficient answer to the chargo of want of skill ; and as to the other allegation, of want of care, he should call witnesses who would say that his treatment was a proper one. The witnesses having been examined in support of this statement, and Mr. Ovens having summed up the defendant's case, Mr. Wheeler replied on behalf of the plaintiff. The learned judge having sumii.ed up, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damage:, 501.—Manchester Guardian. 10 sOvs each, with 100 added, for now 3-yr-olds. I Certain winners extra.

On the order of the day being read for the house going into committee on this bill, Sir J. TRELAWNY wished to be informed of the objects of the bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE said the bill was connected with the previous one, and was of an enabling, not restricting rature. After a short discussion, the house went into com mittee, and the whole of the claims, after a few verbal amendments, were agreed to. THE INSURANCE COMPANIES BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Clauses 2 to 5 were agreed to. On clause 6, Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN complained that this clause was partial in its operations. It gave privileges to old insurance offices which it denied to younger ones. The clause was under discussion at 10 minutes to 4, when Mr. Fitzroy left the chair. SUMMARY PROCEEDING BILL. Thia bill was read a third time and passed. METROPOLITAN POLICE S TATIONS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. BURGHS EXTENSION (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The sitting of the house was then suspended. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was— [LEFT SITTING.] MILITARY OUTRAGE AT CHATHAM. The magistrates at Rochester were yesterday engaged for several hours in an investigation con nected with a series of gross outrages committed by a number of soldiers of the provisional battalion belonging to the 27th Enniskil'ens and the 70th Regiment. From the statements of a great num ber of witnesses it appeared that between 12 and 1 o'clock in the morning between 20 and 30 sol diers entered a heerhouse called the True Briton, at Chatham, and demanded to be supplied with beer. The landlord, Hodge, refusing to give them any without the money was set upon and beat, in a most savage manner, about the head and body with the pots. The troops then left the house and proceeded to the East Kent Railway works adjoining, where they procured a number of heavy flint stones, with which they returned and beat in the doors and windows, severely injuring the landlady. They then proceeded to another public-house, called the Old Barn, where they smashed the glasses, bottlts, and windows, and severely assaulted the landlord. Nearly every house at the lower end of High-street had either the windows broken or the shutters smashed in. Mr. J. White, brewer, who . was passing through the street, was knockel down and had his head cut in a fearful manner ; a man named Stevens was so severely injured that for some time his life was despaired of. On the knowledge of the outrage coming to Colonel Eden, com mandant of the garrison, several hundred soldiers were sent out to scour the town and bring in every soldier found in the streets. About 30 men were apprehended and placed in the guardhouse. The object of tin soldiers in causing the outrage was to prevent their embarking for India on the following morning, but in this they were disappointed, as the whole of the men, with the exception of four who had taken a conspicuous part in the outrage, were marched handcuffed from Chatham with their regiments. The four prisoners examined before the magistrates yesterday were Marshall, Shee, and M'Ellish, 70th Regiment, and White, 27th Regi ment. After hearing the evidence the magistrates decided on committing them for trial on a charge of riot. THE MILITIA BILL. The following is the bill presented by Lord Pa,mure, to authorise the embodying of the militia : " Whereas the sudden demand for the service in India of a largebody of her Majesty's regular forces may render it expedient to draw out and embody the militia or some part of the militia of the 'United Kingdom ; be it therefore enacted by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assem bled, and by the authority of the same, as follows : "It shall be lawful for her Majesty, and for the Lord Lieu t en An t or other chief governor or governors of Ireland respective'y, at any time after the pass ing of his act, and before the 25th day of March, 1858, to cause all or any part of the respective mili tias in England, Scotland, and Ireland to be drawn out and embodied in like manner as in the respec tive cases in which such militias are now by law au thorised to be drawn out and embodied. " All the provisions of the act relating to such respective militias, and of all other acts now in force applicable for and in the case of the drawing out and embodying of such militias in the ca.;e in which the same may now by law be drawn out and embodied, and to such respective militias whemo embodied, shall be applicable for and in the ca.e of the drawing out and embodying of such respective militias under the authority of this act, and to such militias when so 'embodied. "Provided, that so much of the acts relaying to such militias as requires that a proclamation 1-11,11 be issued for the meeting of par'iament (if the mi litia be drawn out and embodied when parliament shall be separated by an adjournment or proroga tion which will not expire within 14 days) fhall not he applicable in the case of the militia or any part thereof being drawn out and embad'ed under the authority of this act."

An instance of a block of ice having fallen to the earth during a thunderstorm in 1510 is mentioned in Mezaray's " His tory of France." THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—It may ap pear strange to many of our readers, but an extensive acquaintance with the manufacturers of agricultural implements has shown us that, however important the awards of the prizes of the Royal Agricultural Society may have been in past times, the breenees of the maker is now but little affected by the decision of the society's judges; indeed, we know that the sale of agricultural machines, by particular makers, is frequently the very reverse of what the judges' awards would lead us to an ticipate. We could scarcely , xplain this without giving more or less offence to the leading men of the society, but we have ample evidence that the fact is as we have dated it. Perhaps these gentlemen will condescend to consider whether there exists any just gr: und for the apparent anomaly, and what that ground is. If they are sincere friends of the society they will not fail to do so.- - -fechanies' Magazine. A. READY WITNESS.—During the course of a trial at the recent a.sizes, says the Durham Advertiser, a learned counsel banded a document up to a witness— a qUiet-goitig north conntryman, under cross-exaroina tion—which the latter appeared to peruse with great attention. After be had finished, and the paper had been banded back to the learned gentleman, the follow ing colloquy ensued :—Counsel—" Have you read that document ?" Witress—" Yes." Counsel—" Have you ever seen it before r' Witness—" Yes, I think I have." Coenqd (evidently *inking the moment had arrived to crush his viciiin)—" Now, Sir, on your oath, tali me when you last saw that paper."

The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment in this case, which was argued before the Court on the 181 h and 23d of July, when the facts and arguments were reported. The matter came from chambe's, by adjourned summons. It was argued by Mr. Glasse and Mr. D. W. Lewis, for the official mana ger ; and by Mr. Anderson, Mr. M. Giffard, and Turner, for Mr. Brockwell. The question was one of importance to all shareholders of joint-stock companies, and was of immediate interest, arising, as it did, out of the particular company too well known by the name of the Royal British Bank. The facts were, briefly, that Mr. Brockwell, whose name was sought to be placed on the list of con tributories, had, in March, 1855, purchased three 1001. shares in the company, and had in the usual manner executed the deed. In June following he paid his deposit of 501. per share, and received two dividends of 61. per cent.—one in December, 1855, the other in June, 1856. The bank stopped in September, 1856. His honour said that thus far, if there were no more in the case, there could be little doubt that Mr. Brockwell was liable to have his name placed on the list. He contended, how ever, that he was not liable by re,aion of his being induced by false representations to purchase the shares. The Court had to determine whether, un der the circumstances, that defence was available. Bus honour, in a detailed manner, answered the numerous objections which had been made to Mr. Brockwell's claim to exemption, and concluded by deciding that the name of Mr. Brockwell could not if gaily be placed upon the list of contributories, sad allowing that gentleman, and the official mana ger, their costs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. __ -*- HOME CIROUIT-CROYDON, AUG. 5. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Common Jury.) ATTENBOROUGH V. CLARK. This was an action brought against the defend ant, as the endorser of a bill of exchange for 3 ; 0001., but the actual amount sought to be re covered was only 1,5001., the plaintiff admitting that he had only advanced that sum. The defendant placed a number of pleas upon the record, but the only point 4 relied upon as in aeswer to the action were, that it was understood that he was not to be sued as the endorser of the bill in question, and that the bill had 13.? en satisfied. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Peteradorff were f, , r the plaintiff; Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the defendant. The only evidence adduced in the first instance for the plaintiff was the production of the bill, and proof that the endorsement upon it was in the handwriting of the defendant. Mr. E. James then proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the defendant ; and it appeared from his statement that the plaintiff was a pawn broker and bill discounter, carrying on business in Piccadilly, awl ho had a good many money trans sections with Mr. Edward Rawson Clark, the de feadant, who was a gentleman connected with the turf, and who was also a good deal engaged in bill discounting. In Nov., 1455, two gentlemen, whose names have been frequently brought before the public, the Hon. C. Lawley and Mr. John Massey Stanley, who were on intimate terms with the de fendant, applied to him to obtain for them a loan of 3,0001., upon their and Mr. Clark applied to the plaintiff, who, after some negotiation had taken place, consented to advance 1,5001., and Mr. Clark undertook to provide the other 1,50)1, and be handed that amount to the plaintiff, who, upon receiving the bill, gave Mr. Clark a cheque for 3,0001., which was handed over to Messrs. Lawler and Stanley. This bill was at four months' date, but when it became due it was renewed for two months, the interest charged being at the rate of 30 per cent., and subaequently two cheques, each for 1,5001., one being drawn by Mr. Lawley, 'the other by Mr. Stanley, were produced by the defendant, and he took one of them and gave the other to the plaintiff. Both thee cheques were however, dishonoured, and very soon af-erwards Messrs.. Lawley and Stanley left the country, and the present action was brought to recover the 1,5001. advanced by the plaintiff from the defen dant as the indorser of the bill in question. It ap peared that after the bill had been given Messrs. Lawlay and Stanley offered to make some arrange ment to assign three race horses belonging to them, named Mary Copp, Festival, and Orlando, as a collateral security, but they were subsequently t tkeu in execution by the sheriff upon a judgment, and were sold for nearly 4,00)l. The Jury, after a very short deliberation, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff for 1,606/. 10s., the amount of the balance of th , bill and interest. Mr. James applied for stay of execution to give the defendant au opportunity of taking proceed ings in equity. The Lord Chief Baron said he should not make speedy execution, but the parties must make any further applications, upon affidavits, to a judge at chambers.

Second Year of the Fifth Brighton Biennial Stakes of THE lILTDSOY'S BAY TERRITORY. Can it be endured by sensible men that half a million of square miles of such territory as this should he claimed by a score of men—to be held by them to the exclusion of all the world, and that they should have the power to spread sterility and barrenness over a land which appears to have escaped the original curse ? It may he said by these proprietors of the Hudson's Bay stock—we have no legal right by our charter to the possession of this land, but at all events we have the " squatter's claim." There is something too ridiculous for sober comment in the notion of a few scores of maurading, Indian-plundering trappers claiming to squat upon a million of square miles of territory, on which tl,ey have never raised an ear of corn, fed ' a sheep, fattened a pig, or built a house. But through this fine territory there exists, as we have said, an almost unbroken communication from the Rocky Mountains to Lake Superior. The Saskatchewan is navigable for boats and canoes from its source in the Rocky Mountains almost the whole distance to Lake Winnipeg. Thence by way of the Rainy Lake, tLe Lake of the Woods, and the navigation which connects them, access maybe had. to Lake Superior. From Liverperel to the Rocky Mountains there exists an almost unbroken chain of wa'er communication—not navigable of course for large vessels, but useful in bring;ng down the produce of the country, in affording facilities for auxiliary steamers, and, above all, in pointing out the great highway which nature has formed for reaching the Pacific.- Westward of the Rocky i Mountains flows the noble Columbia River, and its source in these regions is close by the side of the Saskatchewan, and, flowing westward, it bids the rie vab ly advancing civilisation of the East follow it in it s windings to the inden t ed coast and noble harbours of the Pacific. Let a those nctt b e magnificent y will be irretrievably territories t remain a few years l o nger in the hands of the Hud loosnt'stoßGayreCa°t Company, and. News. LLOYD'S SZIPPING.--ahis Day.)

ROYAL THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA. The great annual regatta at Putney under this title, at which a number of valuable prizes are given, open to all the a orld, commenced yesterday. The weather in the early part of the day was dull and uninviting, arid, although it cleared up in the afternoon, the assemblage of visitors was far from being 5.,0 numerous as heretofere. There was oee very important race upon the card, the Champion Race for 100/. ' in four-oared boats, for which crews ft ona Manchester, Newcastle, Elswrck, and elsewhere had entered. This had, as usual, occupied the attention of rowing men of all grades for some time past, and large sums of money depended upon the result. It was decided in three heats, with an interval of time for refreshment. There were also gentlemen's gigs' and scullerte contests, making, in all, eleven races. The sport commenced at half past 1 with THE CHAMPION FOUR-OARED RACE. FIRST HEAT. The Newcastle (white) Wandsworth (red and white) 0 Five Friends of Manchester (blue) 0 THE NEWCASTLE CREW. 1. J. H. Clasper, J 3. R. Chambers, 2. A. Maddison, H. Clasper, stroke. W. Short, coxswain. THE WANDSWORTH CREW. 1. S. Peters, I 3. T. Eticharcl, 2. A. Salter, W. Walker, stroke, W. Peters, onx3wain. THE MANCHASTER CREW. 1. Williatafton, 2. Crawshaw, 3. Williams, M. Taylor, stroke. W. Postlewa,ite, coxswain. The Newcastle men were bucked at slight odds to win the heat, and were taken at even against the field for the first prize. Much had been said about the Manchester men, but the renowned Claspers were too much in re pute, and it was said that the Wandsworth were in very fine condition, which certainiy turned out to be the case. The Manchester men hail the worst station on the Surrey side, and the ClaTerii were in the middle., The start was taken with amazing rapidity by all, and the race throughout maintained at a great pace. The Manchester men drew a slight lead, and off the committees' barge, stationed a few yards beyond the Star and garter, had the bow of their boat a ceeple of feet in advance, the Newcastle men were second, and there were nearly half a length between them and ' the Wandsworth. At this point the Newcastle men, who were sitting firmly t their work, drew level with the Manche3ters, and in the next few succeeding strokes gradually took the lead from them. The Manchester men, who took a v e ry wide course, were directly af terwar d s outrowed by the Wandsworth men, who so *vigorou4y'applied themselves that it was thought it would have been their race; but the rowing of the Claspers was perfection, and they gradually stole away to a lend of neatly two lengths at the finish, amid very warm applause, which was richly deserved. SECOND HEAT. Hammersmith (grpon) The Champion's Crew (blue and white) 0 The ShakespeAre Crew (rpd) THE HAMMERSMITH CREW. 1. J. Holder. I 3. R. Ponder: 2. T. Hoare. G. Green, stroke. T Hoare, coxswain. THE CHAMPION'S CREW. G. Driver. 3. A. Ralph, 2. T. Day. H. Kelly, stroke. J. Driver, coxswain. THE SHAIISPEARE CREW. 1. ET, Ault. 3 E. Wenship, T. Bruce, stroke. 2. S. Wood. J. Richards6n, coxswain. The Sbakspeare crew (Manchester men) were the fa vourites in this beat ; Kelly's (the Champion's crew) were considered very indifferent ; while at the same time there was a strong party behind the Hammersmith men, who, it was said, wouli astonish the "native?." The race was amazingly fine. They all went away at the same instant, and then the Hammersmith pulled out a lead of about a foot. The Champion's crew was in the middle and astern, r3d being the second heat. In the course of a few more strokes, and before they had proceeded 200 yards, red and green were dead lel, and blue and white nearly half their length astern in the centra, Green now began to take a slight leaf, and blue and white to overhaul red ; and as they neared the Crabtree the leas of both these boats were made appa rent and decided. The pace and style of the race was still first-rate, blue and white (the Champion's crew) again and again coming up to the quarter of green (the Hamtneramith boat) the latter winning by only half a length. FINAL HEAT The two previous heats bad been rowed up from Putney-bridgte to Chiswick Eyrot. The last was rowed down : The Newcastle crew Hammersmith 0 This was a splendid race, unfortunately terminating foul. They etarted like lightning, and level, hut when they had proceeded 200 or 300 yards the Hammersmith drew on a foot, and then gradually increased into a hngth, or nearly so, but bowing their opponents on to the pniut below the Crabtree, caused a foul and lost the race. GENTLEMEN'S PAIR•OARED GIG RACE. (With Coxswains—not nui - rigged.) Messrs. E. G. Ditton and W. Williams, with H. Weston, coxswain (white) Messrs. W. H. Lowe and F. Lowe, with E. Weston. coxswain 0110 Messrs. A. A. Casamajor and K. Freeman, with G. Weston, coxswain (Ted, white, and blue) Two other pairs started. 0 Fcr some time the race looked very much like blue's who appeared to much for white, but off Finch's they because nearly level, and a most animated race followed, the severity of which was felt by both parties. A., Craven's, after another trifling lead, they were again level, and then the winners drew slightly in advance, and won by their boat being just clear of their adversaries. PAIR OARED RACE—OPEN TO ALL THE WORLD iFIRRT HEAT. Hemmerton and Francis (pink)' 1 J. Clasper and H. Clasper (red) Ault and T. Wood (blue). All the men got away well together, and then the Winners took the lead, and kept it, but from the start to the finish the second boat was close upon their stern, and a finer race has rarely been seen. SECOND HEAT. Kelly and Ralph (hlue and white) E, WenNhip and T. Bruce (red) T. Richardson and W. Walker (yellow) 0 This was another fine race. They were oar and oat for some distance, and then Kelly took the lead and gr,t dually went a couple of lengths ahead of Wenship and Bruce. The distance in this race was from Putney to Hammer smith in the first heat and vice versa in the next. Thu last heat was deterred till this oay. GENTLEMEN'S SCULLERS RACE. Mr. H. H. Playford (blue and white) 1 Mr. Patterson (yellow) The winner did exactly as he pleased; and Won very much at his leisure. There were several heats rowed by spprenth est b ut the race was not finally — The ;t;;;;;d;nce toward' the en l of the rnwirg was much greater than could have been anticipated from early appearances. There were bands of music, com mittee barges, and all the appurtenances of a great aqua tic gathering. The sport will be resumed at one o'clock to-day, and the Lord Mayor will attend in state.

TUE LATE FATAL FIRE IN HOLBORN.—ADJOURNED INQUE , T.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley resumed the inquiry respecting the death of William Chapple, landlord of the premises, 14, High Holb irn, who died from injuries re' ceived at the fire which took place there on the 27th ult. Since the previous inquiry, Jelin Rolfe, aged 16, appree tice to Mr. Maidmist, saddler, who occupied the ehei , and part of the house, has died from injuries received on this occasion. It will be remembered that Mr. Maidmist was not present at the former inquiry, gwhen the suio• moning officer stated that ho had been unable to find Mr. Maidmist. Mr. Wright, solicitor for that gentle man, now stated that he wished to make a complaint aeainst the summoning officer. On the last occasion Mr. Maidmist was not summoned, and he wished to know how this happened ? After some explanation, the coroner exonerated the summoning officer from blame , and Mr. Maidmist was examined. On the night of the fire he slept in the back first floor, and his moth-r and the apprentice in a partitioned room above. They all escaped by jumping out of the window of his room into the yard, where they got on an outhouse. The house was filled by hot smoke, but they saw no fire till they were en the outhouse, when th e y saw fl ames d ar ting through the roof. Mr. H. Owens, chief clerk of the Times Assurance Office, proved that Mr.-Maidmist gored in that office on the 21st July for 3001. ; and Mr• W.

A COMBIERCIAL UNION IN AIISTRALIA.—It is under stood that the chief object of the Governor's visit to Beechworth, and of his proposed meeting with Sir William Denison, is the establishment o f a COw mercial union similar to that which has for maul, years been in benefi c ial operation bet w e en P russ i a a nd the minor States of Germany. In Germany, pre' viously to this union, commercial affairs were in as l aw satisfactory a state as can well be conceived. Every petty State had its own tariff, its own custom-11 , 312 8 0 , and its own customs regulations. The consequence Wa g that the internal trade of Germany was subjected to than' merable and vexatious restrictions, which were just e° many clogs upon the wheels of industry. Up- n til ls subject M'Culloch, in his Dictionary, well remarks, that "nothing has contributed se much to the growth of industry and wealth in Great Britain as- the perfec t freedom of internal industry . we bave so long erijoYe' l ' and that intimate correspondence among toe various pens of the empire which has rendered eac h the best market for the products of the other." l a recommending a simili ar un i on t o A us t ra li a we d o n" , overlook the importance also of a political and feder" union, but there is this grand difference tictwee ° the two kinds of union, that the political uni° o involves so many considerations,—there are so rc 3o : interests to b e reconc il e d and so • many prejudice' to be overcome, that it must be a work of marl years. On the other hand, the commercial utile° is one of comparatively easy attainment, the con' flicting interests are few, and the feeling among the met' cantile body throughout the colonies is entirely favour, able. Tne establish men t o f a commerc i a l un i on wool in all probability very greatly facilitate and promote th a , sill more import an t o bj ect o f an Australian po li t i c al confederation, and with this object there could no t be 3 more useful preliminary measure.—Melbourne Argo , May 27.
