Swan at Chelsea.

SWIMMING,

SWIMMING MATCH IN THE SERPENTINE.

An interesting race took place across the Serpentine and
back on Wednesday evening, between a few lovers of the
art in which Leander was so proficient. As in the case of
that famous swimmer, the object of each competitor was
to gratify the girl of his choice, the match being for a
"sweetheart's prize"—an elegant gold necklet and locket,
presented by the London Swimming Club. Some of the
most expert members of this society entered, and were han-
dicapped according to their proficiency by Mr Payton, the
secretary. Evens, the tallest and strongest looking of all—a
fine young man, over six feet high—plunged in first, and
after swimming about 15 yards was followed by a short,
slim comrade, named Bartlett, who showed his skill by
rapidly overtaking and passing his opponent, when half
away across. Ploughing their way swiftly after them were
the rest of the competitors, who left the starting point
thus :—Fry, two or three seconds after Bartlett ; Stuart
next, and the best swimmers, Jones and Williams, last.
When about four minutes had elapsed from the time Evans
started, Bartlett was seen to reach the opposite shore first,
and to plunge in again for the return journey. His rivals
being by this time close behind him, the race became ex-
citing to the hundreds who awaited the result. Encouraged
to fresh exertion, the competitors persevered, swimming in
the most plucky style. The rear division in vain tried their
utmost to pass young Bartlett. Putting on a final spurt,
amid enthusiastic cheers, he arrived first at the south bank,
and was declared winner of the " Sweetheart's prin." Fry
came in second, and was immediately followed by Jones,
Williams, Stuart; and, though last 'not least, Evans. A
few of those adepts, as well as about 50 other amateurs, are
to swim this (Friday) evening for the One-mile Amateur
Champion's Cup, given by the proprietor of the Sporting
Pilot. The course for the race is to be a mile in the Thanes.
from the Dung wharf to Putney aqueduct. A steamboat
(from which the men are to stait) will leave London-bridge
at half-past 4, and will call at all the *piers up to Putney.

The Recent Elopement and Marriag,'e in
High Life.

(From the Queen of this day.)

The West-end season of eighteen hundred and
sixty-four has been generally admitted to be one of
the most brilliant of modern years, consideri eg the
retirement of the Sovereign from public life. Dur-
ing its continuance we have had balls, dimmers,
bazaars, amateur plays, concerts, reviews, and every
species of amusement which fancy could devise for
the entertainment of the heir to the throne and his
consort, as well as the fashionable world. A sensa-
tional wind-up alone was needed ; and as the readers
of the Queen, we imagine, will like to be made ac-
quainted with the fullest particulars of an event
which, from the rank of the contracting parties,
must become one of historic interest, we make no
apology for giving the following narrative :—Among
the English aristocracy there is no house so remark-
able for the manner in which it has interwoven
itself with the great families of the land as the
Pagets, and which may in soma measure be ac-
counted for by their connection with the Court,
which has been of many years standing. Indeed,
it has been said of them that the men were all heroes
and the women angels. Around them romance has
shed its halo, from the first Marquis of Anglesey
down to his granddaughter, who, by her marriage
on Saturday, became the Marchioness of Hastings.
Such an alliance at one time would have created no
more sensation than an ordinary marriage in high
life. The announcement would have appeared in
our columns; and we should have done justice to
the beauty of the bride, and the exquisite texture
of her dress, enumerated her bridesmaids, and
given details of their costumes, and concluded by
stating that the happy pair left town for Dinning-
ton-park, accompanied by the best wishes of their
friends for their future happiness. All this trouble
has been spared us. We should premise our story
by stating that, among the belles of our English
aristocracy, Low of late years croatod ouch a fiellsrs.
don on her debut as Lady Florence Paget, the
youngest daughter of the Marquis of Anglesey.
Gifted with the hereditary beauty of her family to
a rare extent, her petite figure and dove-like eyes
canted her at once to become " the rage of the park,
the ball-room, the opera, and the croquet lawn."
These personal charms were not a little enhanced
by the unaffectedness of her manner and extreme
good nature, which caused her to become the idol
of her father and the household. Deprived of a
mother's care at an early age, her education was
hardly so advanced as might have been anticipated
from her sphere in life, and she seemed to have
made Diana Vernon her model. In her intercourse
with society, among the many suitors by whom she
was eurrounded was Mr Chaplin, a gentleman
possessed of estates in Lincolnshire which produce
him a rental of nearly torty thousand pounds per
annum, and endowed with every quality to render
him a:desirable parti. Their intimacy was such
last year that rumours of their engagement appeared
in the papers, only to be contradicted, and Mr
Chaplin proceeded on a shooting tour in India with
his friend Sir Frederick Johnstone. Returning in
May, he again met Lady Florence daily, and as a
proof that his attachment was undiminished he pro-
posed to her, and was accepted. The match was
one which gave the greatest satisfaction to the
Marquis of Anglesey and all his family, for Mr.
Chaplin was a young man of great promise, and
by his ample means could give Lady Florence a
position in society which she had a right to look
for, although she could bring him no dowry. The
announcement of the engagement appeared in the
Morning Post, and also in our columns, and the
happy pair were seen driving together in the parks,
in the same box at the opera, and enjoying each
other's society in the same manner as fiancees are
in the habit of doing. At a fashionable jeweller's
at the West-end Lady Florence's jewels, the gift of
Mr. Chaplin, were displayed to all comers, and the
trotseau engaged the attention of the first modistes.
Presents came into her in abundance, the servants
even eubscribing for a silver teapot, sugar basin,
and cream jug for her. The wedding was fixed
for the second week in August, and Mr. Chaplin
had made the necessary preparations to receive his
bride. But it was not to be, although no later

than Friday night she occupied Mr. Chaplin's

box at the opera, and. sat between him and
her really future husband, the Marquis of
Hastings, of whom we may remark that
his attachment to her had been notorious, and it
was known that he meant to have proposed to her,
if Mr. Chaplin had not taken time by the forelock.
Addicted as his lordship is to the turf and its con-
genial accessories, it was imagined Lady Florence's
image would soon be erased from his mind, but it
seemed otherwise, and that, while on the best of
terms with Mr Chaplin, he was only concealing his
play, for on the following morning (Saturday) that
he had been at the opera with him and her ladyship
he found himself with the latter at St George's
Church, Hanover-square, and they were united for
better or worse. As much curiosity prevails to
know how the marriage was arranged, we may state

that Lady Florence, on Saturday morning, left the
St George's Hotel, in Albemarle-street, where she
had been staying during tie season, in her father's
brougham, telling the porter, if Mr Chaplin called,

she should not return until two o'clock. She then
was driven to Marshall and Suellgrove's, in Oxford-

street, and leaving the carriage at one entrance was
met at the other by the s:ster of the Marquis of
Hastings, who, engaging a hack cab, drove her at
once to St George's, where the Marquis of Hastings,

accompanied by Mr and Mrs Granville (whose mar-
riage we recorded only a fortnight back), Mr Blak€'
Mr Wilkinson, and Mr F. Wombwell were in wait-
ing. Immediately after the ceremony had been
performed, the Marquis and Marchioness of Hest-
ir gs repaired to Mr Granville's lodgings in St.
James's-place, from whence, after the bride
had communicated by letter to Mr Chaplin
and her family her change of mind, they started per
special train for Donnington-park to spend the
honeymoon. AtPeterbarough station they were met
by several of their friends, who were not a little
surprised to find Lady Florence in company with
the marquis instead of Mr Chaplin. To show that
the marriage could not have been an impromptu
affair, as some people imagine, the fact of the happy
couple being received at the station by his tenantry,
who had erected no less than nine triumphal arches
trimmed with flowers, at once discloses. It is need-
less to add that Mr Caplin feels very ranch the slight
that has been put upon him, but his feelings are in
some measure consoled by the assurance of his friends
that it is all for the best. The Marquis of Anglesey
is also much distressed at the affair, for the alliance
with Mr Chaplin had his consent and approbation.
Her ladyship's brother and brother-in-law, Lords
Uxbridge and Winchelsea. heard of the marriage
by accident at the pigeon shooting match at Hornsey
In conclusion, we may state that since Lady Adele
Villiers eloped with Captain Ibbetson, of the 11th
Hussars, at Brighton, no similar occurrence has
created such a profound sensation among the West•
end Mothers and Daughters.

CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION)

BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
INDIAN MEDICAL SERVICE BILL.

On the order cf the day for the consideration of this bill,
as amended,

Mr P. HENNESSY moved the addition of the following
clause, "Any person, being a natural born subject cf her
Majesty, who may be desirous of being appointed an assis-
tant in the said forces, shall be admitted to be examined as
a candidate for such appointment." The bill as it at pre.
sent stood entirely put an end to the competitive system ;
and, although it had been said by the Secretary of State for
India that the system of open competition would,
to a certain extent, remain, he preferred to have it
expressly laid down in the bill. Tho hon. gentleman then
read an extract from the Lancet, which stated that the naea..
sure, if passed in its present form, would entirely destroy
the efficiency of the East Indian medical service.
Col. SYKES seconded the amendment, He did not see
how the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for India could
object to the words of the proposed addition to the bill be-
cause they were part of the Queen's proclamation to the
people of India. The refusal of the clause was, in effect,
to refuse that to the people of India Which had been pro-
mised them by her Majesty's proclamation.

Sit C. WOOD said it was a mistake for any one to
suppose that he was opposed to the competitive
system, because he was the very person who introduced it.
The bill, therefore, was not to abolish the competition, but
it was to enable him to form a staff medical corp for India
from amongst those medical officers in her Majesty's army

..ho it by competitive service. The Indian
Medical Service was at present very deficient, and he be-

lieved that the Queen's army would be benditted by that
which he now proposed to do. He did not in the slightest
degree wish to interfere with the regulations at presen
in existence in the Queen's army.
Col. NORTH was in favour of the amendment.
Mr BRADY said it was entirely owing to the illiberal
treatment the medical men received that there was any,diffi-
culty in the matter, The medical man's pay was much less
than that of other officers of a similar position, and whilst
that state of things existed, it was impossible to suppose
that gentlemen would enter upon duties of great responsi-
bility without being adequately remunerated for the labour.
The position of the surgeon in the army, as far as re.nk was
concerned, was that of a captain whilst he only reached the
pay of a lieutenant.

Sir C. WOOD said that that state of things had been
altered by advices taken out by the last mail.
Sir J. TRELAWNY opposed the amendment.

A division then took place, when there appeared—
For the amendment
Against it
Majority against the amendment —2o
The amendment was negatived, and the bill ordered to
be road a third time on Monday.
