half, or 177 miles, in 72 hours, Mr. Henry Zilges undertook
to drive the carriage, and performed the distance in 66 hours.

AQUATICS.
On Wednesday evening another boat race between the
lower six and the next eight (Collegians) came off on the
river. The boats to start from the Broca', go round the
rushes at Boveney, and back to Windsor Bridge. The six-
oar, the Thetis, headed by Boscawen, and the Britannia by
Miles. This was the end of the season. The six-oar had
the advantage at starting, but the boats kept much upon the
level to the crossing above Clump, when they came in contact
with each other, and, side by side, entangled, and each strugg-
ling for the mastership, they pulled to Lower Hope, where at
the corner the Thetis ran aground, with the Britannia wedged
inside ; a little management would now have got the Britan-
nia the lead, but she missed the opportunity and it was taken
by the Thetis, who took the turn, with the other bearing upon
her rudder ; she now moved in advance, and the Britannia was
unable again to touch her ; at the rushes she was twenty yards
a-head, and in the way home considerably increased the dis-
tance, making the termination somewhat easy.

CRICKETING.
BRIGHTON, JULY 24.—This morning (Monday) the grandest
match of the season will be commenced at Lord's Ground,
Marylebonc, between eleven players and eighteen gentlemen.
We believe the following is a correct list of the players, in
which will be recognised such a concentration of cricketting
ability as was never before witnessed Pilch, Redgate, Wen_
man, Marsden, Jervis, Lillywhite, Cobbett, Box, Hillyer,
Mills, and Barker.
Kent play with Sussex the Bth of August, on Pileh's ground.
This will, without doubt, be a most interesting game.
The annual grand cricket matches between the gentlemen
of Winchester, Eton, and Harrow schools will commence on
Wednesday at Lords, and terminate either on Friday or Sa-
turday. The first match will be Winchester against Harrow,
the next Eton against !Jarrow, and the third Eton against
Winchester. A number of distinguished fashionables of both
sexes arc expected on the ground to witness these interesting
contests.

DEATH OF SIR ROBERT 14ISTJN.--II is with
cere regret that that we announce the death of
Robert
Liston, I3art. , K. G., C. 8., which took I)l4e° at his seat of
Millburn-lower, near Edinburgh, on tile
Right Hon. Baronet died full r Bch current. The
t'• ye'47s as of honours, being at
the period of his decease h of his Sir
Robert 9 4.t year
Robert Listou was on-
his Majesty s Most Honourable
Privy Connell, aria •:vas the father of the diplomatic body, it
is beieved. vas
Europe. It is little more than ten
.ears' ;trice Sir Robert retired from public life, the last ap-
pointment which he held having been that of his Majesty's re-
Presentative at the Court of the Ottoman Porte. The last
years of a life so distinguished, and so protracted, were in
every Way worthy of its brightest periods. With an entire
freedom from ostentation, and in the enjoyment of universal
esteem, Sir Robert was distinguished by the uniform urbanity
of his deportment, by activity in the promotion of every good
work, and by an enlightened regard for the interests of the
poor in his neighbourhood, who will long deplore his loss.
Sir Robert had the misfortune to lose Lady Liston about six
years ago, and leaves 09 issue.—Caledonian Mercury.
