AQUATICS.

LYON'S SOVEREIGNS.---The scullers' wager of yesterday
amply compensated for the " fiat, stale, and unprofitable" affair
of Tuesday. It was in every respect a splendid exhibition,
eclipsing everything which has been seen for many years. On
its first institution, some dozen years since, the gentlemen de-
termined on electing the first watermen of the day, and that of
course has been pursued to the present time. There are no
" lions" coming out as yet this season, and many of those who
were patronised last year have hid " their diminished beads."
The purse has been won by Campbell, the champion, by Nor-
ris, Frank Godfrey, Watts, and others of equal celebrity, and
the regulations forbid that any man who has once carried
away the purse shall be allowed again to contend ; but still
the best remaining on the Thames are selected, and among
the names of Bartlett, Phelps, and Kipping, were to be found
yesterday. The patrons of river sports had given a great deal
of money on this match, and Bartlett was, if anything, the fa-
vourite, although Phelps was nearly on a par. These two
contended in a scullers wager last year, and Barlett won ; but
be it remembered that there was considerable fouling. No-
thing particular had been booked at the respective boat-
builders, yet everybody was anxious of accompanying the
match, should the weather by any sort of chance clear up. It
did not favour the idea throughout the forenoon ; but it as-
sumed a livelier appearance in the afternoon, and as five
o'clock approached the establishments of Messrs. Searle,
Lyon, Honey and Archer, and Houlton were besieged.
Every thing in the shape of craft was crowded, and they drew
their " lengths" to Westminster Bridge at a quarter past five.
There was no very material alteration in the betting from that
which we furnished yesterday. Phelps and Bartlett were still
alike, and at the time of" peeling" the odds were 2 to I against
each. The others had gone back a little. At a quarter to
six they had each their starting line, and looked admirably.
There was not a single man out of condition, and each looked
confident. At ten minutes to six the signal was given. The
men had laid down for the start well, and all took it at the
same instant. There was not the least want of exertion on
the part of either, and they were all abreast of the Speaker's
house ; but Phelps withdrawing a-head, as were Campbell,
Kepping, and Bartlett, the latter of whom was " digging" to
perfection. His immense power was exerted to its full extent,
and he passed Campbell at Vauxhall-bridge, and tried all he
knew against Phelps. Lewis had started from the worst sta-
tion, and had been in the stern chase; but he rowed up very
hard, and went by Campbell, Elliss, and Byford. Ellis out-
rowed Byford, and at the Broom-house, at Battersea, they
were stern and stern. Kepping had been doing wonders, and
by fair rowing, without any attempt at fouling, he passed Bart-
ett. Phelps throughout held his way a-head beautifully. The
artillery at Avis's announced the combatants in the following
order :

Names. Belonging to Colours.
John Phelps Fulham Stripes 1
James Kepping . Hungerford Orange ...... 2
Clement Bartlett Vauxhall Purp1e......... 3
George Campbell Westminster-bridge ...White ......... 4
J. Elliss Tower Light blue ... 5
Henry Lewis Horselydown
Thomas Byford Lambeth Green ......... 7
It was won by half a minute, and the three next were close
together; a minute would have covered all. It was throughout
a very close match, and contested with out-and-out-game-.
Phelps bad No. 7, the best station ; Bartlett bad No. 2, deci-
dedly a very bad one ; and Kepping had No. 5. Of the rowing
Kepping's was the best : he did wonders : far more than ever
was expected of him. He is a very little man, and cannot pos-
sibly exceed ten stone ; Barlett is a giant, a complete Her-
cules in comparison ; he must come very near thirteen. St.
Swithin favoured the gentlemen, on their return, with another
visitation.

A great Russian personage has gone through
Brussels on his way to London and Paris. It is Count Nowo-
sil.zow, President of the Imperial Council, Grand Chancellor,
&c. After the Emperor Nicholas he is the most eminent per-
sonage in Russia. The history of unhappy Poland will record
tl:e share which M. Nowosiltzow took in the last events which
have inflicted so deep a blow upon her nationality. He re-
sided at Warsaw, as Imperial Commissary to the Polish Go-
vernment. The motives which have determined the President
of the Imperial Council to visit London and Paris must be
important. Statesmen of that rank may, indeed, repair to
rural residences or watering places for their health, but they
do not visit the great capitals of Europe without powerful rea-
sons.—La Pair.

Died lately, at Stoughton Lodge, near Bedford, the
seat of Lieut.-Colonel Latour, of the late 23d Lancers, his
grey charger, Blucher, aged twenty-seven years. This noble
animal carried the Colonel during the three days at Waterloo.
On his death eight balls were extracted from him ; he also bore
the marks of several lance and sabre cuts.

The late Philip Astley of equestrian celebrity, had
a map of Germany published with his name affixed during the
war, which caused much confusion to those who consulted it as
authority, and to the English travellers also on the bank of the
Rhine who referred to it for information, as many of the towns
and principal places appear on the wrong side of the river, and
not where they are actually situated.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The benefit of Made-
moiselle Plcssis took place last night at this theatre, and at-
tracted a numerous assemblage of the beau monde. This
charming actress appeared in Le Mariage Raisonnable,
Estelle, and Valerie, and in each of these characters received
applauses alike general and deserved. Madame Jenny
Vertpre, in accordance with the general wishes of her sub-
scribers and the public, has renewed her engagement with
Mademoiselle Plessis, whose stay here cannot, however, be
long protracted, as the term of her conge is at hand, and her
presence at the Theatre Francois is necessary for the produc-
tion of a piece in immediate preparation. The zest of last
evening's entertainments was heightened by Madame Jenny
Vertpre's lively performance in Zoe, ou L'Antant Prete, the
same piece which, under the name of The Loan of a Lover,
was last week played at this theatre by Madame Vestris.
Some mystery, which it is not easy to fathom, ap-
pears to ban, over the present state of the Exchequer-bill
market. The Bank, who hold the great bulk of these secu-
rities, and exercise consequently a paramount influence over
the market, are not selling, so far as can be ascertained, but
.lit has drooped regularly for some time past, and is now so
weak, that in the opinion of the more experienced jobbers
sales could not be made in them to any extent without forcing
the price down to par. There is also the fact to be taken into
the account which ought to operate considerably in favour of
the market, that by far the greater proportion of the surplus
of revenue is now laid out in the redemption of this portion of
the public debt instead of stock. Nevertheless, the security
declines in value to a degree which, if not checked, is likely
to force on either another funding, or an increase in the rate
of interest. The explanation more commonly adopted is the
general rise in the value of money, which makes Exchequer-
bills less eligible than formerly for temporary investment ;
and also the great steadiness of the 3 per Cent. Stock of late,
which has made it nearly as safe for investment as Exchequer-
bills, so that the latter have been comparatively neglected,
which would appear quite sufficient to account for the state of
the market ; but there exists, nevertheless, a suspicion that
large sales have been quietly effected within no distant period,
in reality on account of the Bank, but so dexterously ma-
naged as to wear the appearance of being for different parties.
It is well known that capitalists, who seldom deal in securities
of that description, have been sellers of Exchequer-bills to a
large extent. Whether it is or is not an operation of their
own it is impossible to say, but in seeking for the cause of the
weakness of that market, the suspicion has certainly fallen as
above stated. There would be a convenience to the Bank in
such an arrangement beyond the mere cover to the sale, for
the Exchequer-bills might be made to serve the purpose of a
loan to the party through whom they were sold, and yet add
nothing to the amount of bank-notes in circulation. The con-
jecture may be unfounded, but it is a very ingenious one, and
may be referred to as made by parties who have a quick eye to
all the shiftings and changes of the money-market. There
was a rally in the market to-day, but it can only, we suspect,
be a temporary one. Morning Paper.
