present-chivalrous Government in the generous ardour
with which he fought the battle of the jackdaws, and
vindicatedethat canonical bird from the charge
of km-
ligion. These things are doubtless very beautiful and
very touching; but the necessities of a great country and
the representation of a great constitneecy will hardly be
satisfied with such qualifications. When Ceti birds shall
once more call a Perliainente as they did in the days of
Aristophanss, the jackdaws knew where to look for a
representative; an,", if the saints should once more in-

Protectionist Essex is fdirly beaten:by Reform and Free-
trade 114iiMiesexi and the Present electoral relations of
these neighbaurina counties already forethadows the
coming decision of the neW Parliament. The Re-
formers and Mr. Osborne have had an up-hill
fight, and
though the difficulties that stood in the
bagof victory may. sweeten the triumph which
been won, we cannot avoid once more alluding
to the fact that the Tory oppoeition.which brought Lord
Pilandferci into the field was directed ugainst the untitled
Liberal candidate. A glance et the returns from the
polling districts 'Will show .where the strength of each
side chiefly lay. The rural neighbourhoods of Bedfont
and Enfield, and the fashionable quarters of. Tybarnia
and Pimlico, with the City of.. London, gave strength to
the Blandforil party; whilst the good Liberals of Brent-
ford, Bethnal-green, Mile-end, Hammersmith, Finsbury,
and Uxbridge, secured the victory. The Derbyites
seemed to think the son of the wealthy Marquis of
Westminster unassailable—at. all events they did not
assail him, . Their efforts were directed against Mr.
Osborne, in whom they recahinised a representa-
tive, not of any section of the aristocracy, but of the
people—a man who relied for support less on
the quarterings of his escutcheon, or the length of
his rent-rail, than on what he had done for the
Liberal cause in the House of Commons. To secure a
sufficiency of suds representatives all Liberals should
do what they can to diminish the 'Cost of election con-
tests. A county election, as at present conducted, is
apt to be a very costly amasktent, and that very cost
has a tendency to make men-shirk so expensive a proof
of their patriotism. Men who do not want to sell a
constituency should not be required to buy their seats
too dearly. The second day's poll doubles the cost of a
county election, and so doubles the penalty inflicted on
those. who. might be willing to do Liberal duty in coun-
ties. Yet the experience we have had during the last
fortnight shows as a rule that a county contest is in
truth decided on the first cloy. hi_tiddl,:3,-,z is another
proof. of this. On Tuesday the Liberal majority was 93;
yesterday it was 167, An exemination of the polls that have
recently from day to day appeared in our columns will
further illustrate this practical fact. In no case has any
candidate on the second day passed, or even headed, one
who had obtained the lead at four o'clock on the
first day. A very small proportion only of the voters
poll on the second day. In hard-fought Middlesex, it
is only onetthird of the total numner; and in most cases
only a sixth or seventh. In East Cumberland it was
only a teeth. The second day—as a rule--never re-
verses the verdict of the first.. Last session a very pro-
per effort was Blade to pass un Act licaldog county elec-
tions to one day, let us hope that the new Parliament
will complete what the lest MO discussed—the limitation
of all polls—like city. and borough polls—to one day.
The triumph in the naetropolit:an county is all the
more valuable for the circumstances under which it
has been won. Like •the ceuntry itself at this mo-
ment, the county of Middlesex is officered by th e

The start was very pretty and

wide as to be considerably in the bight. After a few
strokes the King's College began to showlinfront, and got
a length al acd; but off the Crab Tree the Guy's put on
a very plucky spurt, and brought their nose almost level
with the other's stern, but were unable, notwithstanding
their gallant efforts, to do more. It was won by three
lengths, after severe rowing.
ROWING MATCH FOR £4O.—James, of Wandsworth,
and Leader, of Eankside, both watcrmen, rowed yes-
terday afternoon for 401., the distance being from Putney-
bridge to the Ship at. Mortlake. Citizen J bad been
chartered to accomp4Ly the race, and was crowded with
respectable persons. Betting was 7t04 on James. At
the start the men went off tolerably even, but from
awkwardness in handling one.of his sculls, Leader nearly
capsized, and before he had got well to rights the other
had gone clear away. James retained his lead, and won
by nearly half a mile.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA,

. _
SECOND DAY.
RYDE, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—At the time the boat
left yesterday with the dispatch of the proceedings of
the regatta up to that period the first round for the 50/.
cup, by small-class scheenerS; had'just been completed,
the Bianca being slightly ahead of the Princess Olga;
and, so evenly balanced were their respective positions,
that the greatest interest was felt in the ultimate result
of the contest between them. As regarded the chances
of the Vestal, of which no much was expected, even on
passing the Brilliant on the first round they appeared to
be entirely out of the question. It is the general opittion,
however, *et had there been the America's required
six-knot breeze shewould have proved that she possessed
all the qualities and qualifications for fast sailing; and
that conse.quently,. with the almost dead calm at time of
Tuesday, she had not a fair trial. An was stated in yes-
terday's account, the positions of the yachts remained
unaltered from whet they were Wien off the Sand-
heads Buoy, at which point
.the Princess Olga ever-
hauled the Vestal, en passing the Brilliant on the first
round. They continued on to the Nab Light with very
light airs, the wind having almost died away to a calm,
when the Vestal gave up all further share in the con-
test, being. then shoot twenty minutes astern of the
Princess Olga, the Bianca still keeping the lead. The
following are the times at .which. the Nab Light was
rounded on the first an 4 second round:—

and the yachts were obliged to feel their way by drop-

by that means she was enabled to gain a great advan-

The Bianca was thus the winner, independently of the
time that could have been demanded from tho Princess
o;ga for her superior•tonnage. We are, however, in-
formed, that previous to the start, in consequence of
the very • light breezy, the Bianca took out a large
quantity of ballast, which, no doubt, gave her a great
advantage over her opponents, who neglected to avail
themselves of this privilege, and - they sailed in their
ordinary trine. It is possible- that, had they adopted a
similar course, the result might have been different.
We hoar that Mr. Rathorfuord, the eviller of
the PrineeiS Olga, immediately on his arrival, under
the authority of the 20th rale of the sailing regu-
lations of—the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, lodeed
a protest .with the Commodore of the Club, ' Mr.
G. H. Ackers, against the cup being given to

rule
of
the sailing regulatione, which requires that
" all

The race from the Nab was most exciting, and the
greatest interest Was manifested, both vessels being of
such equal
powers and speed in sailing.
A rumour had gained t considerable currency that a
protest would be put in on the part of the Antagonist
on the ground that neither of the other two vessels had
rounded the buoy at the Cal hot Light and the Bram-
bles, the result of wh!ch, with that in the case of Bianca,
must be deferred until ici-morrow.

THE SINKING OF THE DUCRESS OF
KENT STEAMER.
Yesterday an investigation took place at the Town-
hall, before Mr. !Elder, the Gravesend coroner, and a
jury of the inhabitants, touching the death of Mr. John
Sard, a gentleman who was on his return to London
from a tour through Egypt, who was a passenger on
board the Duchess of Kent steamer.on the occasion of
her coming into collision with the Ravensbourne, Ant-
werp steamer, off Nortkfleet.. Mr.. Hine, an attorney,
with several gentlemen, relatives and friends of the de-
ceased, attended to watch the evidence, and Mr. Parkin-
eon represented the Commercial steam-packet Company,

formerly connected with a lartire.,deceased was
travelling for it .abroad as well as
course of last year he became ;'so indisposed, tlaes thehe
was recommended by his medical adviser to seek a
warmer climate, and he eventually set out on a tour to
the continent, intimating his intention of continuing his
journey to Cairo, which place, it is thought, he had a
particular desire to visit. It would seem that he made
the tour, and letters were received from him, stating
that he would return to England early is July (the
present month), and that he would come by Ostend to
Itsmsgate. On a day or so prior to the day on which
tho Duchess of Kent left Ramsgate for her last
voyage, and met with her sate, he arrived
at that port, no doubt by the Ostend steamer,
and put op at the Royal Hotel, from whence
ha took his departure for London by the Duchess
of Kent. His non-arrival at the time he had named
created some' anxiety amongst his relatives and friends,
and the finding of the body of a gentleman in the
Thames, near the wreck, with a certain description of
property about him, and a belief that he might have
been a passenger by the steamer, caning to their ears,
they immediately proceeded to ascertain whether it was
that of the missing traveller. On. his person were
found a geld watch, made by Frodshans, and chain and
other articles, which were Eentified es having been the
properly ot the deceased; and his ideatification was
clearly established irom the fact that the buttons of
his trousers bore the name of his brother, a master
tailor at Leamington, who made them !hr him, and
who had the buttons so stamped—a practice with large
tailors. Nothing in the shape or a pocket-book or
papers were reported to have been found when his body
wag pinked up, and a belief exists that such mutt have
been about him, and a probability that when he perished
ho had more money than bud been accounted for.
Twenty-two shilliega in silver, and seven foreign silver
pieces; coupled with some strange coeduet on the part
of those who had undertaken else charge of the corpse,
induced the coroner and the relatives to icstitute a most
searching inquiry.: A good deal of evidence was given,
after which Mr. Parkinson observed that the Commer-
cial Steam-packet Company were desirous of affording
the fullest information. The proceedings were then ad-
journed for a fortnight, the General Steam Navigation
and Comniercial Steens packet Companies being re-
quested to send all parties who could render any infor.
mation on the matter.
