DOGGETT'S COAT AND- BADGE.—This wager, which has
nearly grown obsolete, took place yesterday. In former days
this was looked upon as a treat, and was on all hands considered
the best match of the season. Sculling could not then boast
of the patronage of the most distinguished Noblemen and Gen-
tlemen. To the coat and badge given by Doggett was added
the interest of floo/., bequeathed by Sir W. Jolliffe, five-eighths
of the interest of that money to be given to the second man,
and three-eighths• to the third man. The distance is one in
which science is quite out of the question ; it is a " long pull,
and a strong pull," and nothing but game and stamina can be
successful. The start yesterday was made directly after high
water, which considerably lessened the labour. The winner
went away, and in the first shoot he got twenty boats' lengths
the lead. He never had recourse to " picking up," but went
a-head, and had it all his own way. They came in at the
Swan, at Chelsea, in the following order :—James Morris,
Horselvdown ; Richard Adams, Hammersmith ; James 11.
Bush, 13ankside ; Thomas Fordery, Wandsworth. Edward
Stock. of Bankside, and Law, of Blackfriars-bridge, never
had a chance. There was considerable difficulty in discrimi-
nating the respective men, in consequence of their not being
allowed to wear colours.
DOUBLE SCULL WAGER. —The watermen of Lambeth Stairs
yesterday rowed their wager for the two Second-hand Boats.
The assemblage was very limited, and, after three very badly
arranged heats amongst seven double pairs, By ford and Wilson
(purple) won. Richards and Hawkins (white) were second.

On Thursday last, R. Mills, Esq., entertained a large party
of archers on his grounds at Eltham, Kent, under the superin-
tendence of Mr. Calvert. The shooting continued for seven
hours, and the prizes were awarded as follows :—Mr. Jefferd
scored 151, two silver cups ; IL Mills, 136, silver gilt medal ;
Captain Dison, 132, silver medal ; Mr. Betty, 102, six arrows.
The whole passed off with the greatest pleasure imaginable.

SHIP LAUNCH.—A splendid steam-vessel, named
the Countess of Lonsdale, of 700 tons burden, and 240 horse
power, was launched on Saturday at the yard of Messrs. Wi-
gram and Green, at Blackwall, built for the General Steam
Navigation Company. The ceremony of naming her was per-
formed by Lady Eleanor Lowther, who with a numerous and
fashionable party attended the launch. She went off the
stocks at three o'clock precisely in beautiful style. After the
launch, the visiters inspected another steam-vessel of the
largest class, also building for the General Steam Navigation
Company at the same yard, which will be prepared to be
launched on the 16th of this month. This vessel, of 800 tons
burden, intended to be named the Clarence, excited by
her appearance, as well as the vessel now launched, general
admiration. A ship, precisely on the same model and size as
the Countess of Lonsdale, is also in course of construction in
the same yard for this Company.
At the sale of the Corporation property of Co-
ventry, which took place last Tuesday, among other articles
was an elegant four gallon China punch-bowl, given to the
Corporation by Mr. Serjeant Hewitt, who once represented
the City of Coventry in Parliament. It was purchased for
eleven guineas.
