AQUATICS..

CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES —A grand contest for the
championship of the Thames will take place on Thursday
next, between Campbell (the present champion) and Robert
Combes, of Millbank. The match, which is for 501. aside,
creates great sporting interest. Campbell has held the cham-
pionship for upwards of five years, having defeated Williams,
and has rowed one scullers' wager since against Frank God-
frey. Combes is two stone lighter than his adversary, and
has this season carried everything before him, beating Phelps,
Watts, and Kelly. Both are in hard training, and betting is
five to four on Campbell.

THE CHARTER FOR MANCHESTER.

JAM-MESTER, THURSDAT:I-Notwithstanding the wise sur-
mises of the Tories, and the doings of the joint-factious
Tories and Tory-Radicals, the Charter for the borough of
Manchester has arrived. This morning it came to hand, di-
rected to William Neild, Esq., (a member of the Society of
Friends, and one of the leaders of the Corporation partv.)
John Hyde, Esq., who was Boroughreeve of Manchester
last year, is appointed returning officer ; David Pryer, Esq.,
one of the late constables, is directed to publish the burgess
list; and Edward Rushton, Esq., of Liverpool, is appointed
the barrister to revise the burgess roll. Manchester is di-
vided into nine wards returning 30 Common Councilmen,
Hulme and Chorlton-upon-Medlock return six Councillors
each, and Ardwick and Cheetham each three. In addition
there are to be sixteen Aldermen and a Mayor. When .the
provisions of the Munieip A Corporation Act are taken into con-
sideration, it will be found that there is a great gain to the advo-
cates of popular rights, inasmuch as, according to the present
Police Act, no person, except he be assessed at 161. per
annum, can vote in the choice of Commissioners, and no
person is eligible to act as a Commissioner unless he be
assessed at 28/. per annum. Publicans cannot vote unless
they are assessed at 561.—whilst, on the contrary, all rate-
payers of three years' standing, are entitled to vote in the
election of Councillors, and persons who are rated at 301. per
annum, are qualified to become Councillors. The elections
will take place on or about the 15th of December, when
there will be some brisk stirring amongst the political parties
of the town. It will then be seen whether the Commis-
sioners of Police or the representatives of the people were to
have the exclusive right to the use of the Town-hall.

The Marquis of Downshire left town last evening
for Easthampsttad Park, Bcrks, where the Marchioness and
Lady Charlotte Hill had previously arrived. A large party
will shortly assemble at the above seat.

Mr. Kean has concluded a most successful engage-
ment at Liverpool. In his last appearance, as Claude Mel-
notte in the play of the Lady of Lyons, being loudly called
for and cheered by a crowded audience, he addressed the house
in the following words:—
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—l am proud of the opportunity
thus afforded me of expressing the deep sense I entertain of
the kindness ever extended to me in this town. It has been
my good fortune lately, in many instances, gratefully to ac-
knowledge the increased success which has attended my pro-
fessional visits, and I am happy to add that the present has been
my most prosperous engagement in Liverpool. Encouraged
by this flattering mark of your approbation, I have received
proposals from the management to return for a few nights on
the conclusion of my Dublin engagement, which, with your
kind permission, I shall accept. Till then, I respectfully bid
you farewell l"
Mr. Kean appeared in Dublin as Hamlet on Saturday last,
when the theatre was crowded to the roof; and on Tuesday had
the honour of dining with their Excellencies the Marquis and
Marchioness of Normanby, at the Pheenix Park, in company
with the Commander of the Forces, Lord Morpeth, and other
distinguished guests. The first command night of the season
is announced for this evening; Macbeth being the performance.
OUTRAGE BY THE MILITARY.—It is stated by
the Coventry Herald, that there was a most disgraceful out-
rage committed in that city last Monday, by the military. An
inquiry on the subject is now going on.
MELANCHOLY DEATH ON THE GREAT WEST-
ERN RAILWAY.—The following is an extract from a letter
written by a gentleman who went out with the experimental
train on Thursday evening:—" A most melancholy accident
occurred on the Great Western Railway, about three miles
from Paddington, on Thursday evening, to one of the engi-
neers, a young gentleman named Field, and a pupil of Dr.
Lardner. Fortunately, there is no blame whatever to be
attached to any one, I may safely say, for I was on the engine
at the time. It occurred from his anxiety to complete an ex-
periment—on the deflection of the rails on the south line, on
k,bieh the passenger train was passing out, to accomplish
which lie lay directly across one of the rails on the north line,
on which we were just going out, with the experimental train
to the point at which he was, he, I suppose, concluding that
we should be able to stop before we got up to him, which,
however, we could not do, so that the whole of the wheels on
one side of almost the whole of our train passed over his body,
and he was senseless, though still breathing, when we lifted
him up, and expired before we got to Paddington."—[ We are
requested to state that the unfortunate gentleman above al-
luded to was in no way connected with the firm of Messrs.
Maudslay, Sons, and Field.]
