SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lOO.

Yesterday afternoon a scullers' race of an unusual cha-
racter came off, a Manchester man being pitted against
a Southerner, which has not occurred for very many years.
The competitors were Frank Kilsby, of the Old Barge-
house, Lambeth, a waterman, 23 years of ago, who has
been very successful since his first appearance on our river;
and Edward Barratt, of Manchester, 28 years of ago, who
has been equally successful with the sculls upon his native
river, the inky Irwell. The race was for £5O a side, from
Putney to Mortlake, and Kilsby had undergone his preli-
minary preparation at Mr. Wilcox's, the White Hart,
Barnes, while Barratt had been placed under the care •f
Henry Kelly, the champion, who brought him to the post
in first-rate condition. Kilsby, on the contrary, had been
somewhat ill during his training, and no doubt held the
race somewhat cheaply besides, but his hearty appearance
on the day emboldened his friends, and as Barratt is an
awkward sculler, and had not exhibited much form during
his stay in town, Kilsby's party made their man the fa
vourite, and before the race started thought they had got
such "a moral" that they laid 3 to 1 and 4to 1. Citizen L
accompanied the race, and Mr. Ireland was referee ; and
Barratt having won the toss took the Middlesex side, and
they got away on the top of the water. Barratt imme-
diately took the load, and rowed so exceedingly fast that
ho had nearly cleared his man at the London Boat-house.
Here and higher up Kilsby drew half over him, but was
rowed right out at Craven, and at the Crab Tree Barratt
led by two clear lengths, and by the same at Hammersmith
bridge. All through Corney Reach it was very rough, and
Kilsby naturally felt most at home, but Barratt was steered
with great judgment, and, holding an easy lead all the
way, won by two lengths and a half. The time (29 min.
30 sec.) will give an idea of the pace, although there was
not much tide.

SALVAGE CASE.—A case of this kind came on at
Bridlington Police Court, on Saturday. The brig
Sarah Horne, of Whitstable, was last week brought up in
Bridlington Bay, in a leaky state, with loss of topmast, &c.
The lifeboat was manned, and went to her assistance, when

four mon were left on board, and afterwards other four men
were put on board. The number of men engaged were
twenty-four. Mr. R. D. Preston, barrister-at-law, Brid-
lington quay, instructed by Mr. Harland, of Bridlington,
advocated the cause of the salvors, and the owner of the
brig conducted his own case. The claim set up by the men
was £l5O. The magistrates awarded them £7O and the
costs, two shares to go to the Lifeboat Association.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE. —Homccopathic practitioners, and
the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as be ng
the moat healthful of ali beverages. when the doctrine of
homoeopathy was first introduce.l into this country, there
were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or acceptal le to the stomach ; the nut was
either supplied in the crude state, or so übskiltully manu-
factured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subje.t, and at length succeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to
produce an article pure in its composition, a id so refined by
the pert et trituration it receives in the process it passe,
ihrough, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps' cocoa is distin,uished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a deli „dons aroma
Dr. Hassan in his work, "Food and its Adulterations,"
says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive
principles; every ingredient necessary to the growth and
sustenance of the body." Again, As a nutritive, cocoa
stands very much higher than- either coffee or tea." Direc-
tions —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast elm,
filled up with Wiling water of milk. Secured in tin-lined
1.11),, 4-lb, and l;b. labelled packets, and sold at Is. Gd. per
,L). by grocers, confectioners, and chemists.

The concluding day of this meeting was very successful
in good entries, and the weather having cleared up before
noon there was a large attendance of the general public.
The ring was also much better patronised than on the
opening day, and speculation Was carried on with great
spirit. The racing was,vpry good, but it needs no com-
ments here, as the annexed return contains every feature
of interest. The.coucluding race was very late owing to
the numbers:di:l,lSe starts in the Biekley Stakes. The fol-
lowingis a return of the running :

DEATH

LORD PALMERSTON.

It is with the deepest regret that we have to
announce the death of Lord Palmerston, which sad
event occurred this morning at a quarter before 11,
at Brockett Hall, Hertfordshire.
Henry Temple, Viscount Palmerston, was born
October 20, 1784. Ile was 18 years of age when
he succeeded to the title. He was educated at
Cambridge, and in 1806, about the time of Mr.
Pitt's death, he was elected member of Parliament
for the borough of Horsham. He joined the
Portland Administration in 1807 as one of the
Lords of the Admiralty ; in 1809, in the Adminis-
tration of Mr. Percival, he was appointed Secretary
at War. On the retirement of the Wellington
Administration in 1830 Lord Palmerston became
Foreign Secretary, which he held until the
dissolution of the Whig Cabinet in 1834,
but in the following year he resumed that
office and resigned it again in 1841. With
the return of the Whigs to office in 1846 he again
became Foreign Secretary, and continued so until
1851. From that date the career of his lordship is
too well known to require recapitulation, as he was
one of the best practised statesmen of which Eng-
land could boast. The extent of his experience gave
him a superiority over every other living English
statesman in his own peculiar department, a fact
which was never denied even by his most bitter
political opponents. His lordship, had he lived
until next Friday, would have been 81 years of
age.

His Lordship was Prime Minister of England,
a-Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, a
Knight of the Grand Cross of the Bath, a Knight
of the Tower and Sword of Portugal, and Lord
Warden of the Cinque Ports.
