horses than any with which he hat hitherto coutended.
It is quite true that he won the Riddlesworth, the Column
Stakes, the Derby at Epsom, walked over for two sweep.
stakes at Newntsrket, and won a sweepstake. at Ascot
(carrying 71b. more than his opponent.), conquering Little
Red Rover, Mahn-toad, Augustus, Brunswicker, Young
Orion, The Mummer, Amphiaraus, Cetus, and a host of
others. It must therefore be admittedP from the perfect eon-
ditiun in which he new appeare—reom the masterly style in
which he performs hi. daily work, whiela is very severe—.
and from the incessant care which r h bestowed upon him
—it must, we repeat, be admitted, considering the speed
of several north country horses, that it will be a very diffi-
cult task to shake him off; if not to prevent him from
winning the race. As to several of his competitors, it
will be remembered that Bruniwicker is a , beaten horse;
and, disappointed in the D•rby race, ran the fifth, and was
defeated at York by St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas has since
been beaten by Beagle ; and Beagle hat been cleverly con.
quered by The Cardinal, with some difficulty by Lawrie
Todd, and Birminghsm. Now, Birmingham and Lawrie
Todd have been both batten by Moss Rose, who his never
yet been defeated ; nor do we think that in any of her
races she hae been put to the top of her speed. Hassan
and Revolution,....both, by the way, appear in wit:elle:at
condition,—are in the shade, and no opinion can cense..
quently be formed from their public performances. It
will, we think. be evident from this brief enusueratien,....

Indeed, he 'shacked in the north at Bto I. At all events
Mose Rose, The Cardinal, Birmingham, and ethers, have
proved themselves equal to the St. Leger speed ; and if,
as is confidently expected by many, Priam should carry off
tie prize, be will prove himself a horse of must extraordi.

EXTRAORDINARY FKA.T IN ROWING.
Ten days ago a match was roads by Mr. Cresswell, the
wholesale fishmonger of 13illingsgate, against time, for b 0
sovereign., that he and William Lewis, a Waterman belong-.
ing to the Old Swan-stairs, at London-bridge, would row
in a Thames wherry from Billingsgate down to Gravesend,
up through Richmond-bridge, and down to the Old Swan,
at London-bridge, in 13 hours and a half. Couthlerable
sums were laid against the completion of so arduous an
undertaking, and at starting bets were two to ante
against the rowers. Exactly at lial4ast five o'eloclr yes-
terday morning, Mr. Cresswell and Mr. Lewis started front
Billingsgate for Gravesend, attended by a six-oared cutter
with the umpires. The morning was calm, although it
rained heavily for some time, and the tide in their tavolur
almost the whole of the way to Gravesend. They turned
round without landing, and by that means avant(' them-
selves of the flowing title in coming up the river. At
20 minutes past twelve o'clock they
.passed up through
London-bridge, and proceeded up the river without rushing
any halt, and at three o'clock they went through Rich-
mond-bridge, and turned down the river, still without
stopping. About two miles below Itichmonti-blidge, the
tide was again favourable, the ebb having then commenced,
and such was the strength of the rowers, and what is com-
wooly called " pluck and bottom," that at 20 minutes
past five o'clock in the afternoon they arrived at the Old
Swan Stairs, by that means winning the wager, with an
hour and 40 minute, to spare. The whole distance rowed
is 96 miles ; and the oldest men on the river, as well as
amateurs, consider this feat unrivalled iu aquatic sports.
Much money changed owners upon the result of this per-
formance.
