THE GREAT ROWING MATCH BETWEEN THE
OFFICERS OF THE GRENADIER GUARDS AND

THE ROYAL ARTILLERY.
On Saturday the town of Greenwich was a scene of much
gaiety, and was more than usually crowded with fashionable
dinner parties in consequence of the much-talked-of and inter-
esting match having been fixed to come off in the afternoon,
between six officers of the first battalion of Grenadier Guards
and the same number of officers of the Royal Artillery. Among
the elite that took up their quarters at the Crown and Sceptre,
the Yacht, the Trafalgar, and the Ship Tavern, were Lord
Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Scarborough and the Dowager
Countess of Scarborough, Lord Grimstone, the Marquis of
Waterford, Sir Georglerk, the Members of the Post-office
Club, Henry Baring, Esq , M.P., Daniel O'Connell, Esq.,
M.P., and a large party of friends, the Hon. Mr. Talbot,
&c. &c.
The Guards maintained the lead from the start to the winning
point; which was a boat moored off the Royal Arsenal, Wool-
wich, a distance of five miles, The Guards came in about two
minutes and a half before their opponents, and during the con-
test the tide ran strongly down. The victorious party were
loudly cheered by a large concourse of fashionable ladies and
gentlemen, who had assembled to witness the result, and which
comprised a large majority of the resident Nobility and gentry
of the neighbourhood, and the officers and their ladies belong-
ing to the garrison. The contending parties afterwards re-
turned to Greenwich, where they sat down to an elegant din-
ner, provided in Mr. Lovegrove's usual good style -here
Bacchus extended the social goblet to the lovers of old Neptune,
and jollity and good humour were kept up to a late hour. It
was stated that the match was for a thousand guineas, and that
an immense sum changed pockets on the occasion in the sport-
ing circles.

It was stated a few evenings since in the
of Commons by a Member of the Government that it was
intended to send an English Agent to the approaching
Meeting of the Members who represent the Germanic
Commercial League. The report is that Dr. Bowring
will be employed in this service. There was an impres-
sion that Mr. Macgregor would have been entrusts with
that mission, but we understand that the able services of
that gentleman will be required by our Government else-
where.— Observer.
A minute was yesterday signed by the Lords of
the Treasury giving their assent to the Design for the
Monument of Lord Nelson selected by the Committee.
The Committee cannot, however, proceed to the erection
of the monument until the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests shall have determined upon the necessary arrange-
ments as to its site, or rather as to the alterations which
the erection of the monument may render necessary in
Trafalgar. square. Observer.
