Mr. MOORE, the British Consul at Ancona, has
been sharply called to account by Monsignor Anna,
Papal governor of that city. Oa the 13th inst. an
Austrian steamer arrived at Ancona from Trieste
with a number of passengers on board, many of whom
had come to attend the great fair of Sinigaglia, and
M,. bAvrs, an Englishman, who came to visit a
brother of his, who is mentally afflicted and under
charge of Mr. MOORE, after which he was to leave

from landing. His remaining on board at all, after
the passengers and goods were landed, was always
an act of tolerance on the part of the Austrian
captain.
Xeanwhile his reverence has become the laughing-
stock of the town by the circulation of his letter, and
several of the foreign consuls who have perused it are
highly disgusted at its tone.

GREAT BOAT RACE.—The boat race between
Thomas Coombes, of Vauxhall-bridge, and Philip Chandler,
of Milbank. for 501. came off yesterday, and was most spi-
ritedly contested throughout. Thomas Coombes, the brother
of the ex-champion, has been before the public for many

prietor of Cremorne, last week. Chandler, the son of the
veteran of that name, exhibited so much style and game
during last summer as deservedly to gain many friends,
some of whom backed him in the match of yesterday. The
distance contested was from Putney to Mortlake, and
Coombes, although a stale man compared with his opponent,
Was the favourite, Chandler won the toss of station, and
took the best place. The start was extremely even, but was
succeeded by Coombes taking a slight lead, which he in-
creased foot by foot at intervals throughout, winning by
about two clear lengths, notwithstanding Chandler's very
manly endeavours to change the fortune of the day.
MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS. The
Members of the St. Thomas's Lodge of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows, having for some time intended to present a
testimonial to Brother Wm. Henry Grosch, secretary to the
lodge, last evening was appointed for the " presentation sup-
per, ' which was given at Brother Booth's, the White Horse
Tavern, North-street, Fitzroy-square. There was a very
full attendance of the " brethren." Brother Webb filled the
handsome in the course of the evening presented a very
,silver snuff-box to the secretary, expressing, in a
snort pithy speech, the esteem of the brethren for that gen-
tlernau, and their sense of his services to the lodge. The
secretary replied with equal brevity; and the healths of the
fchairman, the vice-chairman, Mr. Ewart, the worthy host,
.i,, 'cr• Baoth, and others, were drunk and acknowledged.
.iter Passing the evening in the usual convivial manner, the
brethren separated at an early hour.
