A letter from Rome of the 7th says :—" Sunday
evening being as magnificent weather as the preceding part
of the day, the illumination of the cupola of St. Peter's at-
tracted many thousands of spectators. A strong detach-
ment of Anglo-f3azon sight-seen got into the meadows be-
yond the ankle of St. Angelo, pasting the Tiber by the
ferry-beat from the port of Rime* and had an admirable
view of the illurninatioo and its subsequent change from
with* to red lights. But their reweave 'radius was diem-
kens ; for when they retraced their step to the banks of
**Tiber, in expectation of regaining the central part of
the city as they had left it, by the ferry-boat, no bast was
to be had, it being contrary to the polies regulations for
that mode of aquatic transit to be continued after dark.
In vain our disconsolate countrymen shouted ' A boat, •
boat unto the ferry !' sod they were ultimately obliged to
trudge round by the Ports Angelica, and perform a pro-
menade of three miles before reaching their hotels or
WOW."

parishiocen, adds the Rev. W. M. Ringamill, feel that
Devoe, as a maritime cionsty, enjoys great advantages from
the numerous lifeboat establishments the society has on the
Devoeshire coast, and have therefore manifested their op.
precdtioc of the institution's philanthropic objects by thus
contributing liberally to its funds. The society has now
fourteen lifeboat stations on the Devon and Cornish made

surprising to mooed that the emigration from the coal sad
iron distracts of South Wales at the present time is larger.
than Ina ever been known. At several of the prism:Spa
works es many as 30 have left at one " pay," and not a
week guises without a few leaving. The majority of the
emigrants are able-bodied young men, and it is more sur-
prising. still to mention that the destination of nearly all of
them is New York, or some other port of the once United
State.. Higher wages and ready employment are the
mesons given for emigrating, but as the stile of things in
the Northers States is so wall known among our working
population. the matter has naturally created suspicion, and
it is feared that agents ere at work holding out induce-
ments to the emigrants with the view of Wing them
eventually useful in the prosecution of the war against the
South. _ _ _

THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE
THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning the contest for the championship
of the Thames came off under circumstances in every way
favourable to a satisfactory test of the skill and endurance
of the competitors. Robert Chambers came to London with
a Newcastle crew in 1856—the same year that George
Everson, of Greenwich, his present challenger, carried of
the coat and badge—and afterwards won from Kelly the
championship of the Thames which, by the result of
today's contest, he retains. A great somber of spec-
tators assembled to witness the contest, and several
steamers were chartered to accompany the race, bet
the gathering was by no means so numerous or of
so respectable a clam as that which is attracted to the same
spot by the annual rivalry of the Oxford and Cambridge
oarsmen. The match to-day was, in addition to the hoover
of the championship, for 2004 a side, Chambers, as the
bolder of the championship, receiving 900. for expense'
and the ezcitemeot, which an attempt on the part of a
Londoner to win back from • Newcaatle man the honour of
being the best 'culler on the Thames as well as
the Tyne could not fail to give rise to, wee
enhanced on this occasion by the knowledge
that the sooossdul competitor would have to hold his
laurels against the champions of Australia and Canada. The
Feathers at Wandsworth, where Chambers was 'toying,
was crowded with visitors from the north, and the Bull's
Head at Barnes received lane numbers of the friends and
backers of Emma. Both men were is good condition, and
the betting was 5 to 4 in favour of Chambers.
The choice of place fell to Everson, who selected the
Ifiddleeez side, Chambers taking up • position twenty -
five yards from him. A fair start was then immediately
effected at seventeen minutes to 12. The advantage
which Everson obtained by his place was equal to three.
quarters of a length, but this Chambers, when perfect ssel-
ling was the admiration of all beholders, Thames men as
well as Tyne men, rapidly reduced to half. Opposite the
. . . . . .

Vice-Chancellor's, Chambers had obtained a leell'of half s
length, which he increased to four lengths at Rammer
smith Bridge, and for the rest of the course had
everything his own way. The race woe von easily by 10
lengths, or about 100 yards, in 24 rain. 30 sec. The plbent
efforts of Emma to retrieve his gruand, after his appeased
had gained his decided, lead were seriously impeded by the
crowding upon him of the steamer ; bet from the very
start Qom who gave the Greenwich man the credit of
being the " beet mile rower out," saw that his chance
against Cheatham was very poor indeed.
By the result of this contest Chambers continua to
bold the Championship of the Thames, but he will have
shortly to defend it against Green, of Aumtralia, and Hit*.
men, of Canada, in the former of whoa it is believed be
will bad a formidable antagonist.
