DOGGETTS COAT AND BADGE,

AQUATICS.

This very old-established and popuiar wag: e, which an-
nually forms one of the most attractive features of the sea-
son, took place yeot•rday evening, and, as usual, attracted
a vast assemblage of spectators, not only upon the river, but
on the various bridges, whath, and open parts of either
shot., where a view could be commanded of any portion of
the rate. The distance was, 00 usual, front the Swan, at
Londombridge, to the Swan, at Chelsea; and, in addition
to the livery and badge bequeathed by Doggett, of facetious
memory, in honour of the happy secession of the fam,ly of
her present Majesty to the throne of Great Britain, for the
first man, 4/. 10s. tar the second, and 21. Ifs. 2d. for the
third, the interest of South Sea Stock, the gift per will of

The start took place under the able direction of Mr.
Davids, the bargeauudcr of the Fishmongers' Company,
just after high-water, at five in the evening. Wiggett
was on the north side, Martin next, then Andrews, Lush-
' brooke and Bean, Webb king to the southward. As it
was still water, all may be said to have had good places
and free seope for their prowess. Wiggett and Bean first
drew their boats a trill.: in advance, but it was scarcely
more than momentary. Wiggett, in the euureo of is few
strokes, drew himself clear, went under Southwark.bridge
two lengths alta4.l, and maintained it. bean soon litter
the start began to drop astern, but Martin, Webb, Lash-
brooks, and Andrews were almost scull and scull fur some
strokes. Martin and Andrews then showed a slight front,
and an accidental foul us they neared lltickfriarssbridae
occurred. Martin immediately afterwards rie.guired the
socond place, which lie maintained up to the Penitentiary,
closely pressed by Weld), who ti.en moved Tutu the second
place. From the Pimlico pier Wiggett was sui indifferently
taken up by his cutter that Webb materially decreased the
distance between them, and Martin's proximity as third lett
neither of the leading men
any time to spare. The young
men all rowed capitally, and V. iggett won by two lengths,
the second man being scarcely snore a-head of the third.
The other three were some distance astern. La,hbrooke
encountered some •. mitring accidents:• which served
materially to delay him.

RAILWAYS IN IRELAND.—The Banner of 17.der,
referring to the communication recently received from Lord
John Russell, in replyto a statement from Lotd Enniskillen
and other Irish peers and menalum of parli anent, on the
subject of a railway system Mr the north of Ireland, says :
"The immediate purpose of Lord Enniskillen's movement
is to provide the means of completing the railway line be-
tween Enniskillen and Derry, and an exceedingly import.
ant undertaking this is, and one in whose regard we wish
his lordship all success. His lordship's entire plan, how-
ever, embraces the extension of the Ballymena line to Cole•
mine to meet the line Iron Derry to the last-name.i town ;
the junction of the Uhter and Dundalk lines at Monaghan,
with a branch to Cavan, and probably, in the cud, a con-
necting trunk Iwtst eon the Dundalk and Derry lines. In
this result Enniskillen would irnmediately become one of
the greatest inland marts in Ireland for the exportation
of agrieultinal prmlace, as it would be in direct
railway communication with Dundalk and Derry, and
eventually with Belfast—that is, supposing the junction
line to be carried on from Monaghan to Enniskillon. as it
doubtless w told be in the course of time. The Dublin line
from Dundalk to Portudown is in course of as rapid com-
pletion as the nature of the works will permit, and it will,
at all events, be finished next year. Were the other lines
in a state of corresponding forwardness, we should regard
our provincial prospects with feelings greatly beyond thous
of ordinary hope, as railways invariably create business in
all the districts through which they puss. in order, how-
ever, both to evince their own heartinass in the cause, and
to encourage the ratepaying community to incur the serious
liabilities to which they must become subject, in the event
assumed, the aristocracy of our northern counties must he
prepared to put their hands deeply into their own pockets,
as well as into those of the public. '

George Roster Hirst, late of Leeds, by his will be-

upon a policy effected upon his life in the Mutual lnsur-
anee Office, upon trust to lay out and invest the monies to
be received on the policy in the purchase in their name► of a
government annuity for the life of Anne Charlesworth, the
daughter of Edward Charlesworth, of Leeds, and to pay
such annuity to her from time to time as the same should
become due, but not by way of anticipation, fur her sepa-
rate use, exclusively of any husband with whom she might
intermarry. Anne rharlesworth was not married, and
being desirous of receiving the money herself, instead of
having it laid out:in the purchase of an annuity, she gave
notice of her wish to the trustees who received the money
payable in respect of the policy, and paid it into court under
the Trustee Act.
Mr. Robson now appeared in support of a petition by,
Mi. Cheri...sword) asking for payment of the money out of
court to her. and submitted that the law of the court was
now settled that the separate use clause would not prevent
a single woman from deposing of property by way of anti%
cipation. This lady was, therefore, in the same position as
if she had been a man, and a gift of a sum of money to pur-
chase an annuity was the same thing as a gift of the money
itself, and if Miss Charlesworth preferred having the money
she was entitled to it.

This was an action to recover 3,0031. for damage done to I
some land belonging to the plaintiff, at Thorpe Langton, in '
the course of the formation of the Rugby and Stamford
Railway.
Mr. fiumfrey ob,erved, in his opening, that the cast was
one of the simplest possible kind ; but the special pleaders
in London hod dune their utmost to render it us unintelli-
gible as possible, and had succeeded. The defendants had
t 'ken part of the plaintiff's land in Thorpe Langton, under
proper notice, and had paid for it at the rate of 320/. an
acre; but tiny had also taken considerably more, which wan
very valuable, being full of gravel, and had dug a water-
course in another Held, which the plaintiff had not objected
to, provided they would pay him at the some rate ; but they
had not done 130 : and when the surveyors on both sides had
not been able to agree, had refused to pay their share of the
cost of a reference to Mr: Atteuborough, than which he
never knew anything more penny wise and pound foolish,
fur ten times the amount ten times told had already been
spent in law. Now they were attempting to set up the
shabby defence, which railway companies very often did,
that the land was not taken by then, but by the contractor,
who might be bankrupt and gone to America or California;
but he thought this would not avail them against the (acts
of the case.

Mr. Kenyon Parker appeared for the trustees, and agreed
with this •ww of the law.

A number of witnesses were called to prove that more.
land had been taken than that which defendants had given
notice they should take ; that it contained a good vein of
gravel ; that gravel was estremely scarce in that neigh-
bourhood, and consequently was very valuable ; that 10,079
yards of gravel had been taken, and Is. a yard would be a
moderate price for it ; that a watercourse had been deep-
ened to carry water from the kite dug fur getting gravel, so
that if cattle got in they could not get nut ; and that the,
occupier of the laud had had a beast lamed by it.
For the defence, it was contended that the gravel was
got by Mr. Upon, the contractor, and that the defendants
were not liable for the damage thus done.
The jury, after consulting three quarters of an hour, gave
a verdict for plaintiff, damages 5031. 19s.
This case, which occupied about eight hours, closed the
business of the assizes, and the court rose about a quarter
before nine o'clock in the evening.

Lord Cranworth said he was aware that the law used to
be as stated by Me Robson, but hie impression was that it
had been altered by Lord Cottenham in the case of " Tul-
lett v. Armstrong. Upon looking at that case, however, he
did not fled that his view was correct; lie would, there-
fore, make the order for payment of the 2,000 J. to the peti-
tioner.

,ND NIIDSEMNIER ASSIZES.

It is long since a Cumberland midsummer assize has
given rise to so much painful interest us that which com-
mences on Monday neat has already awakened throughout
the country. In both courts, civil 'and criminal, the busi-
ness will be heavy, and there is every reason to suppose that
the important nature of the investigations will protract the
sitting of at least one of the judges beyond the appointed
period of two days. On the civil side there will be several
special jury cases of great public importance. Among them
there is a trial from Northumberland, in which Sunderland
shipowners dispute the right of the Trinity House at New-
castle to levy upon them dues which amount to some
thousands a year; and Mr. Clarke, the architect, whose
plan for a new church at Cockermouth was selected by a
majority of the building committee, but afterwards rejected
by the vestry, brings his action Inc services against General
Wyndham as the most prominent of the parties concerned
in that rejection; and there is also a fishery case arising out
of the forcible removal of a stake net on the shores of the
Solway, near Drumburgh. The judges will arrive here on
Monday evening from Newcastle, and open the commission.

An injunction had been applied for in this caw., sad certain
terms were agreed upon between the parties. A question
was now raised as to who should pay the costs. ft appeared
that the plaintiff was the owner of • house in ./dargaret-
street, Cavendish-square, at the back of which, and in
Titchiield-street, were certain stables ; these stabl. n were
built upon arches, and approached by a platform, the
ground floor being used as a coach-house. The di:fel:dant
was a builder, and had been employed by Mr. Hope to e.'eet
a church; and in laying the foundation for the church, an
excavation had been made close against the plaintiff's wo U
so as to cause it to crack. The plaintiff complained of this,
and a shoring was put up to support the wall ; but when
it became necessary to remove the shoring, a correspondence
took ;dace between the parties, and the matter was referred
to a barrister upon arbitration. The negotiation not prov-
ing satisfactory the plaintiff filed his bill for an injunction
against the defendant, who gave an undertaking to snake
the wall safe before he removed the shoring, and that if the
