SCULLERS' RACE FOR £so.—Yesterclay afternoon
Robt. Pick, of Thames Bank, Pimlico, and William
Sadler, of Putney, contended for £25 aside in outriggers,
from Putney to Barnes Railway Bridge. They made their
debut in private sculling yesterday, but have before con-
tended at regattas. Pick is 21 years of age, stands sft 81,
and weighs 9st 81b; Sadler, three years his senior, is sft
and weighs near 10st. Citizen N (Capt. Whanslaw) ac-
companied the race with a good party, betting being 6 and
7t04 on Sadler, to a considerable amount. Mr. J. Ireland
was referee, Mr. H. Salter umpire for Pick, and J. Sadler
for his brother. Salter piloted Pick, who had trained at
Wandsworth; and the champion, Kelley, looked after the
interest of Sadler, who trained at the champion's hostelry
at Putney. Pick won the toss, and chose Middlesex, and
they were not long in getting away, Pick with a good
lead. Sadler was soon well at his work, and at the Star
and Garter was only a few feet to tho bad, and they were
level at the Duke's Head. Sadler shot to the front directly
afterwards, and rowing with great judgment, led by half a
length at Simmonds's. This he increased to a length near
the London Boat house, and took his man's water above
the Creek. The race was over; Pick rowed a capital stern
wager, and displayed a fair amount of style, but Sadler
was too strong for him, led by three lengths at Hammer-
smith, and won by a similar distance in 22 min. 30 sec.,
very decent time. Pick was rather distressed at the finish.
THE UNITED STATES AS A PENAL SETTLEMENT.
—The United States consul in Switzerland has directed
the following intimation to the local authorities at Bale
Campagno :—" Whereas, on a casual perusal of the journal
Barisbieter, of 29th October, I find that a certain Martin
Baber, who appears to have been sentenced in 1855 to
twenty-four years' durance in irons, ten years of which
penal period he has already undergone, is now (by what
seems an economical measure) destined to get commutation
of what remains by payment of his passage to America, on
pledge that he never returns, the undersigned begs it to
be knows that the American Union is not a penal colony,
andultehact94altr:dthyoaodweshpoatic3Qhuthwasmb:nen sent to Washington,
which will not only prevent this convict's landing at any
of our outports, but will insure his re-shipment for Europe
