SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HoRsZFERRYGRAND REGATTA

Yesterday a grand gala day in Westminster, the
;;as
very
elite of St. aurgaret's and St. John's having assem-
bled in numbers never surpassed at a similar exhibition.
Until the last five year, the watermen at the Horseferry
and at. Vauxhall-bridge were in the habit of collecting a
few pounds from the inhabiOnts, and getting up a match
in the best way they could, wh:eh was always more or less
objectionable. Since that perioe.; however, Mr. Sheriff
Johnson, the Churchwardens, Overset'rs, and other gentle-
men have taken upon themselves the whole of the conduct
of this affair, and by their superiority, and great accommo-
dation afforded, have made it a day of pleasure anxiously
looked for by the great majority of respectable inhabit ants.
In order to make the affair as recherche as possible the
Gipsy steamer was engaged for the day, not to accompa.NY
the match but to afford a superiority of accommodation, es,'
pecially to the ladies, than could have been accomplished in
any other way. She came to her nioeringsfacing the Horse-
ferry at a little after twelve, ithd by half-past one she was
crowded by all the fashion and beauty that the parish or its
environs could produce ; the assemblage, in fact, surpassed
that usually on board at the great sailing contests. The
match was with sixteen pairs of sculls, two pair in each
boat, and three heats; the distance in the first and second
of these being to start from a barge moored off the Horse-
ferry, round a boat moored the upper side the Spread
Earle, Millbank, through Westminstdr-bridge, and back
to the buoys off the Horseferry...
At two o'clock the following took their stations for the
first heat :—Edward Gardener and Philip Elliss, green ;
Joseph Royal and George Parker, red ; Samuel Chalk
and John Piper, brown ; Ralph Gardener and Joseph
Dew, stripes. The heat was well rowed, but the two first
boats had the lead from the fir start. Red came in first,
stripes second, and brown third. Immediately after this
John Head and Rush, jun., yellow; Thomas Davies and
Thomas Grace, white; Andrew Bray and Benjamin Hagne.
blue; and Robert Evans and Robert Canes, pink, started
for the second heat, which was, after a close push, won by
yellow, blue being second, and white third. The men
then refreshed, and the splendid party on board the
steamer did some execution at quadrilles, &c., to a very
g,ood band. At six o'clock the signal fired for the grand
heat, and stripes', red, yellow; and blue took their sta-
tions. At this time the assemblage of company all up the
bank was extraordinary, and several gentlemen's cutters
added to the eclat of the scene. The start was excellent.
Blue had it slightly at first, and after half a dozen strokes
yellow had rather the foremost place, but red immediately
overhauled them. Between red and yellow we never saw
a closer match, but red maintained their lead, and won by
only half a length, both parties being much distressed ;
yellow was second, the otheve being a long way astern.
The match was for two boats, and the day chosen in
honour of the Queen Dowager's birth-day. The steamer
was decorated with flags, and a superb blue silk one, pre-
sented by the ladies, adorned the starting-cutter.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelv,e
e' Clock.

The Consolidated Fund Bill went through ComoitaleY
and the appropriation clause was agreed to.
The Exchequer Bills Bill went through Committee.
The Report on the Manchester Police Bill was received.
_ _

On the'rnotion of Lord J. RUSSELL, a clause was
added, providing that nothing contained in the Act should
interfere with any Charter granted to the town of Man-
chester, or any act to be done in pursuance of that Charter.

The Bill was ordered to bc read a third time to-morrow.
The Report on the Balton Police Bill was also received.
A similar clause was added to the one agreed to on the
Manchester Bill, and the Bill was otdercd to be read a
third time to-morrow.

The Administration of Justice (parts of counties) Bill
went through Committee. The Report was received, and
the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
On the motion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL
the Patents Invention Bill was read a thir•l time and passed.
The Corporate Property (Irelat,d) Bill, went through
Committee without amendment, and the Report was or-
dered to be received to-morrow.
CHURCH DISCIPLINE BILL.

Lord .1. RUSS ELL, in moving the Order of the Day
for a Committee of the whole House upon the Church Dis-
cipline Bill, said he was of opinion that the Bill could not
he so amended during the present Session as to make it
satisfactory in its working. He would therefr,re propose
to postpone it for the present Session. He would be glad
to hear the oilnions of the Right Hon. Member for Oxford
University respecting the amendments that were necessary
to be made in it.

Sir R. H. INGLIS said Le merely deprecated the fur-
ther progress of the Bill during the present Session, under
the chcumstances. No doubt it was brought. into another
place early in the Sessi,,n, hut it lay by for a long time, and
many alterations were made in it in Committee of
which the clergy were utterly ignorant. Now, he did not
want to screen the clergy from the most rigid scrutiny into
their conduct—they were liable to all the- usual tribunals
of the country? But what he wished was, that in strictly
ecclesiastical matters they should be amenable to eccle-
siastical tribunals only. With respect to the Bill he
wanted that these to be affected by it should have the
same time and facilities of considering the measure that
would be afforded to soap-boilers, or any other interest
proposed to be affected by any measure before the House.
'I he Bill, on the motion of the Noble Lord, was ordered
to be committed on that day three months.
COUNTY AND DISTRICT CONSTABLES BILL.
The County and District Constables' Bill was then read
a third time, and several clauses were added by way of
riders.

Lord G. SOMERSET wished to state to the Noble
Lord that on reading the first six clauses it appeared to
him there was hardly a sufficient declaration, that after
the Report of the Magistrates had been sanctioned by the
Secretary of State that the Chief Constable should pro-
ceed forthwith to carry those orders into execution. He
also thought there cught to be some means afforded to the
Magistrates before the rules and regulations of the Secre-
t .ry of State were acted on, of representing such views to
the Noble Lord as their local knowledge might enable
them to represent ; but of course reserving to the
Secretary of State the power of acting as be
might think fit with regard to those suggestions.
He thought it his duty to press these two suggestions on
the consideration of the Noble Lord, and suggested the
postponement of the measure.
Mr. DARBY said that parish constables were employed
in carrying summonses, and they were perhaps the most
proper persons to be employed for that purpose ; hut if
this Bill passed a parish might be left without wiy con-
stable at all. lie also objected to the 19th clause, the
object of which was to get rid of high constables.
Sir C. B. VE R E said that high constables had duties
to perform which could not be done by the police, and he
therefore proposed that the clause be omitted.
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was desirable that the Bill
should be carried into effect during the present Session, but
he should not object to a short delay for the purpose of con-
sidering thesuggestions of the Noble Lord. The question of
the formation of the rules was of such importance that it was
not likely the Justices would omit attending at the Ses-
sions for the purpose of examining them. As to the ap-
pointment of constables, there did seem to be some amend-
ment required in the Bill, for it would be inconvenient to
do away entirely with the appointment of parish con-
stables. He agreed to the proposal of the Noble Lord
to postpone the further consideration of the Bill until
to-morrow, in order that opportunity might be afforded for
making it as perfect as possible.
The further consideration of the Bill was postponed ac-
cordingly ti:l to-morrow, at four o'clock. •
COURTS IN COUNTIES BILL.
The Courts in Counties Bill passed through Committee,
and wet ordered to be reported to. morrow.
The House then adjourned till Five o'Clock.
