ROYAL PRINCESS'S REGATTA.

A regatta under thiS title Came off yesterday afternoon
amongst the industrious operatives engaged at the Royal
Princess's Theatre, for various prizes kindly subscribed
for by Mr. C. Kean and the ladies and gentlemen of his
corps dramatique. The course upon which the opera-
tives were to exhibit their aquatic skill was from Putney-
bridge to Mortlake Pier, recently established opposite
the veteran Frank Godfrey's establishment, the Queen's
Head, where a sumptuous repast had been prepared for
the rowers, which was, however, not done so much
justice to as it might have been by the premature de-
parture at the Curlew, chartered for the occasion, which
was started an hour before necessary.
The following took their stations :
J. Judge, T. Sleaford. T. West, J. Collignan, and J.
Farquhar, coxswain. Blue.
R. Tisdell, W. Burton, R. Warton, T. Hale, R.
Knight, coxswain. Red.
W. Turner, R. Pownall, H. Saunders, H. Brown, R.
Scott, coxswain.

They all got away well together, but their steerage
was very indifferent. They all rowed very hard, and
after a sharp struggle white took the lead, and kept it,
coming in fir: by five or six lengths. Red were next,
but had to keep pulling stiffly.

A NEW DISTEMPER IN SWINE.—A correspondent, on
the authority of Mr. Montgomery Armstrong, of In-
nishowen, county Fermanagh, states that the mortality
in swine is at present very great in that county, upwards
of 150 having died in that island within the last four
weeks. This disorder is a new one, in its symptoms re-
sembling cholera. The animal after taken ill, dies in a
very .hort time, when the carcase immediately turns
quite black.—Armarile Guardian.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills
have again cured an Ulcerated Leg after every other
Remedy had falled.—Henry Winton, of Rickrnansworth,
was for a long time an object of horror to his friends,
owing to his predisposition to ulcerous sores. He tried
every remedy likely to benefit him, but they turned out
of no avail. Finally his leg became so completely
covered with ulcers, that amputation of the limb ap-
peared to be the only thing likely to save his life, At
this juncture ho had recourse to Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, and in four months by using these remedies
he was cured, to the astonishment of all who knew him.
