DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE.
This old-established wager was rowed on Monday. The
following young watermen, whose term of apprenticeship
had expired since last August, were selected out of a
large number to contend :
Richard Moore Surrey Canal-stairs.

Robert Thomas Skinner Shady Veil.
William Hartwell Humphreys Greenwich.
William Hawkins Free Queenhithe.
William George Hawkins Fulham.
James Parsonson Greenwich.

The award of victory is a coat and badge; to this has
been added the interest of 2001. South Sea Stock, be-
queathed by Sir W. Joliffe, for the second and third men,
the former of these two receiving five-eights, and the latter
three-eights, amounting to 41. 7s. 6d. and 21. 12s. 6d. In
former years this match was rowed in working wherries ;
but as the distance from the Swan at London- bridge
to the Swan at Chelsea against the tide was considered
to be most severe, it was determined some three
or four years since to substitute wager for work-
ing boats. The wager yesterday was not so good
as many we have witnessed, but the men had '
to contend against a spring tide and heavy
wind. The start, which took place at five o'clock, was
even. Hawkins and Parsonson, after rowing a short
distance, fouled, and Moore shot by them into
the first place. Free was touched on the quarter
by the Putney man's cutter (Hawkins.), and running
under a ballast lighter the man was immersed in the
water, but, at his. own •desire, was again placed in his
boat and rowed after the other wagermen. Moore kept
the lead throughout, and facing Lyons's, while Skinner
and Parsonson were fouling, Humphreys rowed by them
into the second place. Moore never lost the lead, and
won easily ; Humphreys was second, Skinner third, and
Parsonson fifth. The wagermen were afterwards pro'
vided with a very excellent dinner at the Don Salter°. •

HOOK, EB44.—This
Magazine should thrive, if eminent
contributions can bri
grist to a publisher's mill. The
Editor, Hood, Mrs.
Jerrold, are
palpable rrollir Blanchard, Poole, and
the periodical, and thern- bourers at the vocation of
are clever anonymous articles
besides. The paper on
" Screws
of informing satire, and useful exposure,'" is par example, full
and there is no
disputing the blended bitterness and wit of Mr. Jerrold's
stinging illustration of " The Manager in Search of a
Star." We wish, in spite of our appreciation of the
orce of his ridicule, that this author would write in a
kindlier spirit. Poole is ,just as merry, and not half as
morose, and his drollery you can enjoy with something
like sly hilarity. By the way the "Pedestrian Rambles
in the Alps," in the present,number of The New Monthly
are very interesting. —Morning Post
THE CHINESE.--A few days ago a meeting
Was held in the Waterloo Rooms, at which the Lord
Provost presided, for the purpose of receiving Dr.
Parker, who has spent several years in China- He
gave an interesting and affecting account of the condi-
tion of the Chinese in several particulars, and more es-
pecially, of their deplorable destitution of medical know-
ledge, in consequence of which the ravages of disease
are most terrific ; and he described the eagerness with
which they sought, and the gratitude with which they
received, the advice and assistance of physicians and
surgeons from Britain and America. He also pointed
out the facilities which were thus afforded for communi-
eating to them other species of knowledge, and especially
such as concerns their moral and spiritual welfare. A
society has been formed in Canton of British and Ame-
rican residents for procuring for them medical aid and
religious instruction ; and a Committee was appointed
to co-operate with that Society.—Correspondent of the
Edinburgh Courant.
