Pearl Diver and Moose were the first away, but after
going about two hundred yards Rejoinder took up the

the lead, which, however, he only retained to the turn, as
Rejoinder resumed the command, Allow Me going on
second, Nidderdale third, Pearl Diver and Moose next,
Empress of India, who had been fractioue at the post,
bringing up the rear. (In the far side Moose ran into
third place, Moulsey now going on fourth, with Nidderdale
and Pearl Diver in close attendance, Wild Moor, Whale-
bone, and Empress of India being the last trio, the two
latter gradually tailing off, so that half a mile rem home
they were hopelessly beaten. Approaching the turn into the
straight Allow Me retired from the front rank, and Re-
joinder resigned the lead to Moose, Monkey taking a more
prominent position. Within the straight Nidderdale, who
had momentarily dropped back, again drew forward, an
example which was followed by Pearl Diver. Although
the four leaders were in close company, Moose had no
difficulty whatever in winning by a length from bloulary.
Nidderdale was third, a haul only in rear of Moulsey,
Pearl Diver fourth, beaten a length, Wild Moor fifth, Re-
joinder sixth, Empress of India next. Whalebone pulled

SWIMMING MATCH FOR 50/. —Yesterday morn-
ing at an early hour a match for 251. a aide took place in
Serpentine over a distance of 500 yards, between Mes•rs.
Bockersteth and Michelson, gentlemen, it wee stated, hold-
ing influential positions in a West-end firm. It would ap-
pear that the match originated in a controversy of the rela-
tive merits of some of the tint-class swimmers, and of their
own respective qualilimtions, particularly in the art of nata-
tion. A select few assembled to witness the contest, and
the start was made from the east end of the south bank.
Attired in swimming drawers, they entered the water at
the same moment, and kept together for about 50 yards,
when Mr. Beckerstoth got a slight advance, which he soon
increased to • length. At 150 or 160 yards, however, Mr.
Michelson came alongside of his opponent, and by •
vigorous effort posed him. Thus they continued for full
three parts of the distance, when they became neck and
neck again, but Mr. Beckersteth, who certainly swam in
the beet style, eventually shook off his game antivnist,
and went in a winner by nearly three yards, accomplishing
the distance in 10 minutes 8 seconds.

THE EV/ILN Moves( En. IN LONDON.--On
Saturday evening four " benefit," in aid of the families of
the Manchester prisonersl took place in different parts of
London. They took the shape of gatherings in certain
public•houses, a small sum being charged for admission,
and the proceedings partaking of a social harmonic cha-
racter. The benefits were given simultaneously in Lam-
beth, Westminster, Ma7lebone, and Whiteehapel, that at
the latter taking place in a public-hones in Leman•street.
In this house about 200 Irishmen assembled and were in
the midst of enjoyment and loud in patriotic song, when
an inspector and a sergeant of police attached to the sta-
tion close at hand visited the room, leaving five or six
members of the force outside. Those assembled were not
only not disconcerted at the presence of the two represen-
tatives of authority, but coolly bade them pay the price of
admission or retire. They adopted the latter alternative,
and left the Fenian sympathisers to continue their pro-
gramme. It is since this occurrence that the police have
exhibited unusual vigilance with respect to the suspected
Fenian in Whitechapel, especially with reference to the
Kelly canard. The four Fenian " benefits" realised 100/.,
which we are told ints at once transmitted to Man-
chester.

THE PROPOSED COUNTY RATE IN THE CITY.
Yesterday a very numerous and influential meeting of
inhabitants of St. Paul's-churchyard and the locality was
held in the schoolroom in St. Andrew's-hill, to consider
the justice and the legality of, and the necessity for, the
aldermen, as Queen's justices, levying a county rate on the
citizens of London. Mr. Alderman Gibbons presided.
Mr. Proctor addressed the meeting at some length in oppo-
sition to the proposed rate, and moved a resolution empha-
tically protesting against its imposition by the justices,
uirei7a.the ground that it was unnecessary, nnjuit, an
justices
Alderman Gibbons said the had no desire
to impose fresh burdens upon the citizen, in the shape of
new taxes, but it was a subject for serious consideration
whether a county rate was not absolutely required to
defray the expenses necessarily incurred in connexion with
the Pauper Lunatic Asylum and other justiciary expenses.
The resolution was put and unanimously adopted, as were
others urging the Lord Mayor to call a large meeting of
the ratepayers of the City at the Guildhall, and requesting
the City members of parliament to attend and take part in
such meeting.
