SWIMMING MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—
The great match between Frederick Beckwith, of
Lambeth, and C. B. Mather, of Manchester, for £lOO and
the champion swimming cup, value £25, came off yester-
day in the Thames, over the usual two. mile course from the
Doves at Chiswick to the Aqueduct at Putney, and at-
tracted, as is usual on these occasions, many thousands of
spectators both ashore and afloat. Both men are well known
to the swimming fraternity, Beckwith having held the
championship for many years, beating among others his
present opponent, who on his part has contended many
times with success. Both men had trained well and care-
fully for the event, and looked everything that could be de-
sired, and the betting was of a varied character, but all in
favour of Beckwith, who is nearly 40 years of age, and 15
years his opponent's senior. All the preliminaries having
been adjusted, tLe men took their stations on a plank fixed
on the bows of one of the accompanying steamers, and made
the plunge at a few minutes past seven, Beckwith being
first in the water; Mather, however, caught him in a few
strokes, and then an interesting race with alternate leads
folleweJ, Mather passing ucdcr Hammersmith-bridge lead-
ing by a few lengths. In the next few strokes they came
level again, and continued so for 200 yards, when the ac-
companying small boats hampered them very much, and
both stopped for a few seconds, Beckwith the longest. This
gave Mather a good lead, which he held past the Soap
Works, where the boats crowding around them again, Beck-
swam over to the Middlesex shore, while Mather kept in
his proper course, and when bah men were seen again
Mather was leading about 150 yards, and continued to do
so till a quarter of a mile from home. Beckwith resigned
the contest, Mather finishing by himself, and both being
very much distressed. Mather's swimming against such
disadvantages was very much admired, and he accomplished
the distance its 31 minutes 12 becoudo.

THE NATIONAL GALLERY.

Mr. COWPER, in moving a supplementary estimate of
£lO,OOO on account of the new National Gallery at Bur-
lington-house, gave a history of past proceedings of com-
missions and committees with reference to the site of the
Gallery, and proceeded to explain the intentions of the
Government and the dimensions of the proposed new build-
ing, as detailed in a statement accompanying the estimate.
The entire cost of the building was estimated at £152,000,
and he was of opinion that the proposed site was the best
that could be obtained for the purpose, and that the pro-
posal was an economical one.
Lord J. MANNERS opposed the vote. The advantages
of Trafalgar-square as the site of a national gallery had
been acknowledged by the highest authorities, and it was
the best in every point of view. There was room enough
there for the pictures at present, and would be for some
years to come, and additional space might be obtained when
necessary. Not a word had been said by Mr. Cowper in
regard to any stipulation with the Royal Academy, and he
could not h3lp thinking that the building in Trafalgar-
square was to be handed over to the Academy without any
engagement whatever. He urged the Committee to come
to a clear and decisive resolution upon the question.
Mr. GREGORY supported most cordially the proposal
of the Government.

Mr.
A.
w&ArlETßHsaolpdpiotsewd it.
Mr. was proposed,
if the site of Bur-
lington-house was adopted for the National Gallery, to hand
over the building in Trafalgar•square to the Royal Aca-
demy, but no arrangement had yet been made as to the
terms.
Mr. S. Booth, Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Ferrand, and Mr. H.
Seymour spoke against the vote; Lord Elcho and Mr.
Walter in its favour.
Lord PALMERSTON explained the grounds upon
which he bad altered his views as to the site of a National
Gallery, and argued that considering the large expense
which would attend the necessary alterations in Trafalgar-
square, on the ground of economy, there could be no ques-
tion that the Government proposal was the preferable one.
Mr. OSBORNE reminded the house that in 1860 it had
voted £17,000 on the express ground that the building in
Trafalgar-square was to be a permanent gallery for the re-
ception of the national pictures.

HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening,

The LORD CHANcELLon. topic his seat on the woolsack

SHOT PRACTICE AT PLYMOUTH.

The Duke of MARLBOROUGH called the attention of
the noble earl to the dangerous practice of firing live shell
from Plymouth Citadel. It is now a practice fraught with
the utmost danger, and fatal effects had already resulted
from the practice, as a poor man had been killed owing to his
boat having been struck by a shell fired from the Citadel dur-
ing artillery practice. No person eould sail out of Plymouth
Sound without crossing the line of fire, and he himself had
experienced the danger of the practice. He wished to know
whether the Government intended to adopt steps to prevent
the recurrence of such lamentable accidents as the one he
had referred to, by providing new practising grounds, which
he believed might easily be done.
Earl DE GREY and RIPON regretted the fatal occur-
rence as much as the noble duke. It was too true the poor
man had died from the effects of a wound inflicted on him
by one of the shells fired from Plymouth citadel. The shot
_ _

had deviated from the regular course, and thus the accident

had been occasioned. He felt it but right to the officer in com-
mand of the gun to say that he had waited for more than two
hours for the clearing of the line of fire. Immediately he
heard of the accident he issued orders, which indeed
were unnecessary, as the commanding officer had acted
on his own responsibility, and ordered a discontinuance of
the firing from Plymouth Citadel. It was not, however,
the fact to say that it was the practice to fire live shells
from the guns. The fact was that they were only charged
with sufficient materials to show the exact moment of strik-
ing the water. The matter was under the serious conside-
ration of the Government, but he would at once say that no
risk to human life would be run in practising with artillery. It
was not quite so easy as the noble duke imagined to procure
fresh ranges, but no considerations of that sort would de-
lay the consideration of measures to prevent the recurrence
of so melancholy an accident.
The Earl of MALM.ESBURY expressed his satisfaction
at the answer of the noble lord.

late master in Chancery and Professor of Political Economy
at the University of Oxford. Mr. Senior having gone
through the usual curriculum at Eton, entered at Magdalen
.NofAs3siArtr.
College, where he graduated in 1811, taking a distinguished
first class in classics. Amongst his college contemporaries
were Sir John T. Coleridge, the Earl of Delawarr, the
Bishop of St. Asaph, the Provost of Oriel, the Dean of St.
Paul's, and other gentlemen who have raised themselves to
prominent positions is the learned professions and in litera-
ture. In 1818 he was called to the bar, and in 1836 was
appointed a Master in Chancery, during the Chancellorship
of Lord Cottenham. In 1625 he was elected Professor of
Political Economy at Oxford, being the first incumbent of
the professorship which was founded in that year by the
late Mr. Drummond, A
He resigned it in 1830, and •
was succeeded by the late Dr. Whateley, Archbishop of
Dublin. In 1817 he was re-elected to the same office in
succession to lir. Travers Twiss. For some years he held
the office of Examiner in Political Economy in the Uni-
versity of London, He has written many works on the
science to the pursuit of which he devoted his life, and has
contributed to the Qu weedy, Edinburgh, and other reviews.
Mr. Senior was 73 years of age.
JUSTICE TO THE CATHOLIC GAOL CHAPLAII';'S !
A return has been issued (says the Spectator) show-
ing that on the Ist January, 1861, there were in the Irish
county and borough gaols 364 Established Church pri-
soners, with 39 Established Church chaplains receiving
£1,607 a year amongst them; 122 Presbyterian prisoners,
and 14 Presbyterian religious instructors receiving £5OB a
year amongst them; and 2,513 Roman Catholic prisoners,
and only 39 Roman Catholic chaplains receiving £1,727
amongst them, And this is justice to Roman Catholics !
They do seven times the work of the Established Church
for almost precisely the same pay,

stitution in question. Lord C. PAGET declared
that it was the intention of the Govirnment to
consider the claims of naval officers, and that he
entirely concurred with all that Sir J. PAEINGTON
had said on the subject.

It is very satisfactory to find that at last some
glimmerings of the light that should guide their steps
shoull have been discerned by the Admiralty, for
they are generally most obtuse in making the dis-
covery. It remains now to hope that the Govern-
ment will be a little more expeditious in their mode
of carrying out these improvements than they have
been in devising them, for precious time is being
lost, and opportunities are slipping by that can
never be restored. The efforts of those who have
constantly advocated the adoption of the necessary
reforms have not been thrown away, and they may
flatter themselves that they have contributed to-
wards a good work, and done great service to a
noble institution of their country that all ranks
and classes alike concur in honouring. No time or
trouble can be thrown away in order to render the
workings of such an establishment more beneficial,
more worthy of the nation that offers the succour,
and more acceptable to those who receive it, and
then only obtain an offering to their bravery more
than a charity doled out for their support.

American letters have again exi:7ienced a notable
loss. Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne, widely A.'7-town as
the author of several remarkable works of fiction,
died suddenly at Plymouth, N.H., on the 19th May.
He had bean in but feeble health for some time past,
and had undertaken a journey in consequence. He
retired as well as usual, and was found dead in his
bed about three o'clock in the morning by Mr.
Franklin Pierce in whose company he was jour-

nearing.
Mr. Hawthorne was born in &dem, MEISEL, on the
4th of July, 1804. He graduated at Bowden Col.
lege in 1825, in the same class with George B.
Checver and Henry W. Loegfeliow. Franklin
Pierce, who was in the preceding class, was his in-
timate friend. Upon leaving college, without en•

tering upon the study of either of the learned pro •
fessions, he devoted himself to general literature,
publishing in. 1837 his " Twico-Told Take," which
at once attracted the attention and admiration of
tasteful and appreciative readers,and finally became,
to a certain extent, a popular book. A second series
of these tales was published in 1842. Mr. Haw-
thorne, in 1848, was appointed a weigher and
gauger in the Boston Custom House, from which
place he was, by a change in the Administra-
London, England, 1864-06-07

The reasoning by which this legislation is
justified is not a little singular. To be indepen-
dent, we are told, a man must be out of debt, and
to be honest he must live within his means. A
nobleman advising his son would urge the young
man to keep within his income, and would point
out the advantage of dealing with a full purse,
kept full by frugality; therefore the state is in
effect to say to the debtor, you shall not take credit
because that may cause you to go beyond your
wages ; and to the creditor, you shall not give credit
because your aim in doing so is to get the working
man into your thraldom, and to compel him to live
for ever after oil the mortgage of his wages, that
you may exact an unreasonable profit on the goods
you sell. We hesitate to differ from such authori-
ties, but we cannot reconcile these statements with
facts sufficiently patent to everybody's observation.
Let any one walk through a poor neighbourhood,
and discover if be can any trace of the petty shop-
keeper of Lord Westbury's imagination. If showy
shops, and tempting ttdvertisements, and importu-
nate tenting are indications of severe competition,
then assuredly every tradesman in such morain ies s
too anxious to get business to render an extra
charge of 100 per cent. possible in any case where
he would give credit at all. In such places of ne-
cessity cash payments are the rule, and credit is, as
it should be, the exception ; but it is going- too far
to say, as the Lord Chancellor's bill does in effect,
that the retail dealer shall be debarred from the
legal means of obtaining his debt which are open to
larger traders. Between the shopkeeper in Ihe New-
cut and the merchant in Mincing-lane the difference
is not of kind but of degree ; and if it be right, as
all systems of law have hitherto held it right, to
enforce the fulfilment of contracts by legal penal-
ties, there can be no good reason why any one c:ass
of honest citizens should be deprived of its advan-
tages. A working man is out of work for a few
weeks ; his wife has brought him a new burden ;
his eldest child wants fitting out for apprenticeship
or for service, his second has had a long illness, or
the youngest has just died, and the father's resources
have been drained to pay the undertaker's bill and
the funeral fees: where at such times must the
man go if not to those who have had his money
when there was no illness in his house and no
void in his pocket ? In general he can go to
his tradesman now with the claim which his

past custom gires him; but we do not think his

condition will be much improved if the law
officiously steps in to set up an artificial barrier to
the workman's receiving and the tradesman's
affording an accommodation which the one wants,
and the other, under existing circumstances, is quite
willing to give. Should the Lord Chancellor suc-
ceed in his present attempt we feel some curiosity
to know how far the principle of the bill is to be
applied. Is the state to become an universal Pater-
familias, compelling everybody to be frugal, by for-
bidding every one else to give him credit ? If the

Despatches from General Grant up till yesterday
morning state that his movement was progressing,
and the result would be manifest in 24 hours.

General Lee's position covers Sexton's Junction,
his right resting on Little Swamp, and his left on
Little River.

The Federals have abandoned their depot at
Fredericksburg and Acquia Creek, and have esta-
blished another nearer to General Grant.

General Masby has completely destroyed the
bridges and blockhouse from Union Mills to the
Rapidan. The withdrawal of the Federal outposts
around Washington enabled him to do this.

The Confederates have commenced firing from
the banks of the James River on General Butler's

supply boats.
General Banks has arrived at New Orleans.

The Federals are evacuating Texas.

General Sherman has flanked General John-
stone's position at Alboona, on the Ettowah River.
It is reported that Johnston will not fight, but will
transfer his troops to reinforce General Lee.
NEW YORK, MAY 28 (Evening.)

In the absence of any direct intelligence from
the army, unreliable rumours of a disaster to Butler
have been circulated. It is also reported that
Grant is moving towards the Peninsula.
