NO WING MATCH.

Yesterday a Rowing Match took place at the Tower, for a
wherry and various other prizes, given by the Ladies and
Genthmtn of the neizlibourhood. The known skill of the
six men who were to coidend for the prizes excited much
interest, soil the three first heats, which were successively
won by J. Macherell, R. Smock, and J.Cartwright, answered
carry• expectation, and rendered the scene exceedingly
smusiog. At six o'clock the three victors again started
from the Tower-stairs, to contend for the grand prize, and
here the amusements of the day became obscured, in conse-
quence of a prejudice which appeared to exist against one of
the candidate■, Smock, as upon their starting one of his cons-
prtitors rowed se,uss his bust, and gave the third man an op.
poi-wilily of passing; from this dilemma the skill and strength
of Smock extricated him, but his good fortune was doomed
to meet another rim k, for he writ immediately thwarted in
a similar manner by the other. The vociferations of friends
slut looting of opponents drowned all the sober arguments
of those interested in the decision of the contest. It was
attempted to proceed with the match, hot is vain, and con-
Intdon and darkness closest the Tower Regatta, though tint
until a few skulls bad been cracked, and some of the grimy
heroes had had the good fortune once in their lives to get a
good washing in the Thnnses.
Numerous accidents happened, fiat we are happy to hear
that
water from one of the barges, was snatched from a watery
grave by the iutrepidity of a sailor, who immediately jump.
rd in after her. We understand that the three chief prises
consisted of—first, a wherry ; second, ; and the third, 35.
which arc again to be rowed fur, the umpires having, con-
trary to the received opinion of the watermen, decided
"That foul is not fair:" Owing to the liberality of the
subscriber', each of the six watermen that rowed, received
a prize commensurate to his success.

DUBLIN. SEPTEMBER 18.

We rejoice to state, that the silly and mischievous
attempt to get lip a Reform Meeting in Belfast,
has been effectually crushed by the good sense and
proper spirit of that town,—(Dablin Evening
Putt.)
THE REQUISITION FOR A MEETING OF THE
INHABITANTS OF BELFAST.

" The friends of this Requisition, nismeroas and respect-
able (though our Scotch neighbour thinks differently), are
not anxious to precipitate a public meeting of the town. A
very short time will coofirm every man in the propriety so
well as spirit of such s measure.."—C/rishotatt.)

CASTLEBAR.—Some idle person, who envies us
in this quarter the repose we enjoy, posted placards,
no Solidity night, in town, announcing a Meeting
of the " unrepresented Inhabitants of the County
of Mayo, to petition the Prince Regent for a
thorough Reform in the Commons House of Par-
liament." The placards bore no signature, as may
he supposed, hut even if they did. ten persons, we
believe, would out be found to attend.—( Mayo Co*.
stitution.)
CLERIC,AL INTELLIGENCE.
As erroneous statements of the arrangements con-
sequent on the death-of the late Bishop of Clogher,
have found their way into some of the Papers. we
publish the following correct account. —( Dublin
Leering Post.) .

The death of the Archbishop of Tusm has given
rise to many conjectures. as to the person most
likely to be his successor. Among others the
Bishop of Elplun is named ; and among the names
mentioned as likely to attain the Episcopal ranks
though not the Archbishopric, are the Hon. and
Rey. Mr. Talbot, the Provost, Dean Greases, and
Archdeacons Satin.' and 'fords's.
