doubloons, guilders, ducats, crusades, guineas, half
guineas, and seven-shilling -
pieces. The burglary is sup-
posed to have been committed by

shops have been plundered in'ers'
a similar manner during the
last month.
On Thursday, a match, in two eight-oared
wherries, took place between the students
of
Westminster. The match had been long wished
dton and
by the
former gentlemen, and more than one chaltea ge given
before accepted. From the thorough knowledgeei
the water which the Etonians had in the immd of
neighbourhood, it was agreed the start should take
place place at Maidenhead bridge to Monkey Island, and..
hack, a distance of about six miles. The interest ex.
cited, although the stake was of minor importance, Was
very great, and some heavy betting took place between the
friends of the parties, at long odds, seven to four and
two to one on the Etonians. The assemblage to witness
the contest was immense, the banks for the whole distance
being completely lined, and the river presenting a mom
pleasing sight. At four o'clock the two boats were manned.
the Westminster gentlemen in a boat of their own, built
purposely, and the Etonians in a wherry belonging to
IlEsm, of Eton. The start was an excellent one, and after
a time, the Etonians took the lead, and kept it through.
out, winning their match in gallant style, by upwards of
three hundred yards. Several accidents occurred during
the illy, and two of the collegians got severely cut about
the head, one by falling from the hind part of a post-
chaise, and the other fiom the upsetting of a cart in which
were thirteen besides himself: indeed, such was the de-
mand for conveyances, that cart-horses were readily caught
at, and ridden bare-backed to the scene of action.—Read-
