GRAND REGATTA:

Yesterday being the day appointed for the contest for the,
third annual prize boat given by the Ladies and Gentlemen of
St. Clement's Danes, St. Mary-le-Strand, &c. the River was
crowded by cutters, galleys, funnies, &c. in several of which•
bands of music were placed, and which enlivened the scene.
considerably. The wager was decided in three heats. At seven
o'clock the following men took their • stations for the third and
grand heat, viz. :—Thomas Rice and John Daley, Francis
Godfrey and John Mitchell, Isaac Wood and James Brying-
ton, Joseph Easton and John Williams. The signal gun fired,
and off they started. Rice and Daley seemed to have the start,
but Godfrey and his partner soon came up with them, and
Isaac Wood and his partner, with Easton and his, wers at
nearly as possible on a level. Godfrey, however, came up, the
shore first, closely pressed by Easton and Wood, until reaching
the boat off the Fox under the Hill,- when Isaac
Wood rowed into Easton's boat, and consequently gave;
the others, Frank and his partner, every opportunity of
shooting a-head, which they did for a length of at' least 100
yards, and finally came in the winners of the prize. Isaac
Wood and his partner came in second ; and Rir...e and his part-
ner third ; Easton having declined to row the distance:—The
winners were loudly cheered on entering the priie; and much
disapprobation was evinced by the friends of. Easton at the,
treatment he and his partner had received. The prize was then
carried up to the middle of Strand-lane, and made'aecure, and'
" the Lane" was once more the scene of mirth and jollity for,
the evenirg. Many bets were depending on the issue, and,
large sums have been lost by the backers of Wood and Brying:
ton, who were the favourites at odds against the field.

AN ATROCIOUS MURDER vt as Committed near
Blaewddinfieh, in the parish of Mothvey, this county, on
Saturday last, the particulars of which, as far as we could col-
lect, are as follow:-About eleven o'clock at night, three.per7
sons, named Lewis Williams, David Samuel, and Isaac -
Edwards, each of whom was paying his addresses to a young
woman, who lived at Blaewddmflneh, met near the place,
and excited by jealousy, had a kind of mixed fight with
each other, when Samuel having been overconie in she
contest, the fighting ceased for a few minutes ; and oa ,
his being asked by Edwards whether he yielded, he said
that he had not, and it was agreed that the fighting
should re-commence; Edwards, however, perceiving that •
Samuel had an open knife in his hind, ran off, and was
pursued by Samuel until he was overtaken, when Samuel cut
him across the loins in a very dreadful manner. Lewis Wil-
liams, on Samuel pursuing Edwards, ran after him, and when
David Samuel had wounded Isaac Edwards, as before-men. .
tioned, he turned and met Williams, and stabbed him in the
left side of his neck, so that he survived but for a few minutes.
Although Edwards's wound is dangerous, it is expected that,
with proper treatment, be will recover. Samuel, having per.
petrated the atrocious deed, has absconded, but diligent search
I is making to bring him to justice. —(Carinarthen Journal.)•
