GREAT ROWING MATCH FOR 150 GUINEAS

ASIDE.

A most interesting randan match took place yesterday
evening between Captain Ross and Mr. Osbaldeston, each
taking two watermen with them. Campbell and Emery
were with the Captai❑ (Campbell rowing the sculls).
Mr. 0. was accompanied by Mitchell, (rowing sculls,)
and Noulton in the bow. The distance was from Valli-
h ill-bridge to Hammersmith-bridge. Soon after seven
o'clock, Mr. Osbaldeston arrived at the starting-place, ac-
companied by an eight-oared boat, with Charles Maynard,
acting as director to Mr. 0. Captain Rosa soon arrived,
also accompanied by an eight-oared boat, with Charles
Westwood as director. Mr. 0. had the inside station,
which was the most favourable, owing t the strong wind.
After one or two false starts they went off, the inside boat
taking the lead ; when off the Red-house the Captain was
gaining fast upon his opponent, but was obliged to unship
his oar, having got too near a barge. They then fouled
the foremost boat, and partially turned them ; when, after
a display of skill, they separated, Mr. 0. still keeping the
lead. Captain R. soon drew fast on them, and at Batter-
sea-bridge passed them, continuing to gain the whole of
the distance. They were upwards of ten boats' length
a-head on coming in. Captain ROSS had the labour from
the Red-house, and appeared much fatigued at the termina-
tion. Among the various boats which accompanied the
wager, we noticed the Emerald, the Fox, the Arrow,
and several others.

The East India Company's ship Thomas
Grenville arrived off Weymouth the 12th inst. She left
Madras on the 25th of February, and St. Helena on the
2lat of April. The Thomas Grenville spoke the Castle
Handy, outward-hound, on the sth May, in let 0. 4.0.
N., long. 25. 0. W., all well.
The Jack o' Lantern schooner, late Mr.
ASIIETON SMITH'S cutter yacht, but now the property of
Government, arrived in our river this day (Saturday) with
passengers from the island of Terceira, whither she had
been to convey the Marquis of PALMELLA...... Southampton
Mercury.

The regatta and other amusements that usually
take place at Eton on the 4th of June, in commemoration
of his late MAJESTY'S distinguished patronage of that ex-
cellent public school, were this year postponed for a week,
in consequence of the death of Mr. YouNc, one of the
matt,rs. On Friday evening the ceremony of rowing up
the Thames, from the bridge to Surly-hall, was performed
by parties of the boys, who embarked i❑ teu and eight-
oared cutters, attended by the military band of " the
Blues," and a considerable number of spectators in boats.
The banks of the river were crowded on either aide with
company, and the whole scene was exceedingly gay and
animated. At the conclusion of the sports, transparencies
hearing the motto Floreat Etona, and ornamented with
the Royal arms and a variety of other devices, were exhi-
bited on the little island immediately above the bridge
There was also a brilliant display of fireworks, including a
burning temple, and frequent discharges of water rockets,
which latter almost seemed to "set the Thames on fire."
It would appear that the typhus fever, which
a few years ago made considerable ravages at Scilly, has
not since been wholly extirpated. Some cases of a serious
tlat.ire are reported on more than one of the Off-islands;
and it is to be feared that the advance of summer, co-
operating with the usual causes, may lead to the develops-
went of further misebief,..Deronport Telegraph.
