GRAND ROWING MATCH FOR 500 SOVEREIONS.—On

oars, to be rowed by amateur watermen, picked from the
several rowing cutters on the river ; the start takes place a
little after five o'clock in the afternoon from Westminster-
bridge, to row to a boat moored off Kew Palace, back
through the centre arch of Putney-bridge, the first boat
through to be declared the winner. From the known
goodness of the men, and the great stake they contend for,
good sport is anticipated.
We understand there is to be a race from Leith to Lon-
don, between the steam-packets the James Watt and the
United Kingdom.—Ftlinburglt Observer.

MIRA CIJ LOUR ESC A P E.-011 WetilleStlily week, as a man
and a boy were ascending one of the coal-pits at Hurlet, a
piece of tile fell from above, and struck the man with such
force, that he was pitched out of the basket ; but the boy,
with wonderful presence of mind, seized him by the foot,
anti kept such a firm hold of it, that he brought him safe
to the surface, a distance of fifty fathoms ! The poor man
was for some time stunned, and has lost his voice and the
power of swallowing; but little doubt is entertained of
1 these being soon restored.
On Tuesday evening, between eight and nine o'clock,
as one of the nurses and a child belonging to the Foundling
hospital were coming into town from the county AVicklow,
on a country car, they were surrounded, when passing the
lower end of Camden-street, by a number of chimney
sweeps, who forcibly took away the child, a boy about five
years old. The circumstance being immediately re-
ported at the Head-office of Po' ice, a party was sent in
search of the child, which, after some time, was discovered
in a house in Liberty-lane, with its mouth gagged. The
woman of the house was taken into custody, and lodged in
the Head Police-office, where the nurse. and child are re-
. maining until the c..: cuinstance can be investigated this
day.—lrish Pttil.r.
