• Yesterday afternoon au elegant. Silver Cup and
Cover, given by the Contrattorf for, the State Lot-
tery, wa tOr by four Gentlemen's Pleasure-
boats, under a stipulation th ey. were to be steered by
their owners. They took their: stations ranged on
the upper siite of -the river nest Blackfriars Bridge,
lu the tollowmg order :

The Metutiry - . - Captain AsTLiv.
The Olive Branch. - . - - etiptain.l) g A cow.
The St. George
Tho'Dapline
•

On a pistol being fired about five ,o'clock,. they
were started,. and the Mercury, who was rather to
the -wind*ardmost, got and kept the lead; there.
being at that time almost a dead calm, they went
up with the tide very slowly,:but 'majestically, Until
they gut through Westminster Bridge, where a sheet
,might have covered them, the wind then shifted to
the eastward; the Mercury ,still' kept the lead, till
on making 'about at Chelsea' lleach,Ahe Olive Branch'
had the adiatitage for•abcut three boats lengths,-thitt
was regained the next bout, and the Mereury led
through all the bFidges, and coming round the' boat
stationed for the purpose off. Vauxhall Stairs firs:,
considerably, was (leane' the winner,: and the Cup
was presented to the,w timer, ASTLEY..
For many years thcf, has not been a greater as-
semblage ot 'beauty, title, and fashion,. than. g*ed tote
bestial of old Father Thames yesterday. The Ditake.
of MANCHESTER, who patronizes aquatic
ments very much, and a:large party,, were iri his
Lt Tdship's tie pleasure-boat. There were a nuin-
ber of other persons of fashion. The Lord,Mayor,
Sir WILLIAM LEIG,HTON, Lady LEIGHTON,MISS
LEIGHTON, and his Lordship's Chaplain, were in a*
barge, which though a privite one, bore the 'City
Mao'. On the whole, them seldom has been ex-
hibit - •
?ed on the River a
,Rettier show, or one better
con,i ma ed.

One large barge, with a band or music, *as sta-
tioned of f Vauxlnill, and several others itv different
parts, to enliven the gay scene, which the serenity
•
of the day did not a little contribute to.

The bill deliverers of the Lottery ()Eike; were very
a(tive and lberal ; and tbur boys,..drdssed in scarlet
jackets and pantaloons, attended at each of.the'
grand entrances 'to Vauxhall Gardens, for the pur-
pose of diitribution. One 'Gentletnan,
,and; a boy
about six years, 4)11.1, fell overboard, but their wet
clothing was their greatest injury.
At• six in the evening said at the Gardens
that all the boxes were 'bespoke. The crowd of
persons of all rati, that went in tip till the early
hour of ten, was greater.than ever known on any
night, except on the royal Gala nights.
We undi:rstand' this is the fourth Silver 'Cup thai
has been won by Mr. AsTLty, jun. in the Mercury.

Among the Extraorclinaries• .of the present :Week,
is to be noticed the extraordinary Richness of the
Lottery Scheme !---of course the extraordinary de-
mand.tbr Tickets and Shares.—lt is, hotever, 'not
at all c.itroardinary that the fortunate 'bolders 'of
Prizes in the last 'Lottery (purchased at CRTER'S
Office, 8, Charing-eros-x> should be exchanging, t bprn
for Tickets.and Shares in the preient Lottery ; nor
Will it be at atl extraordinary if the pTe,•ent supply
should he .quite exhaun:fd 'before the Wheel, goes
round next Tuesday. It is difficult to say which
most extraordinary, • the •richness of the Lottery
Wheel, 'or the very'nioderate Price of Tickets' and
Shares. ' •
