This regatta commenced this mort.ing, and the weather
being exceedingly fine, drew together a large number of
the lovers of aquatic sports. At an • arty hour the beau-
tiful club-house was gmily dressed in flays of all nations,
and attached to the balcony were to be seen the various
prizes offered tor competition. In front of the Club-house
an excellent military band was stationed, and played at
intervals during the day.
As the day advanced the quay, pier, and platform
were thronged with spectators, and from the number of
yachts, steamers, bailing and rowing boats, with which
the bosom of the river was covered, presented a most
picturesque and animated appearance.
At twelve o'clock the gun for preparation was fired
from the station-vessel, and in about ten minutes utter
the signal to start.
The first prize contested for was a silver salver of the
value of 30/., for cutters of not less than twelve, and not

LONDON. THURSDAY-. AUGUST 5, 1847.

Another victory, and one ofah rather remarkable
Liberal
character, has attended thecause in the
county elections. South Lancashire
as dyne itself
infinite honour in returning, not merely its late re-
presentative Mr. WILLIAM BROWN, the successes of
Lord ELLESMERE, but, together with that gentleman
a man of distinguished reputation in the Britishenan
Le-
gislature—"the Hon. CHARLES PELnast VILLIERS.
The memorable engagement of Mr. CORDER has been
thus fulfilled. The illustrious advocate of free trade
in promising to Mr. VILLIE its the knighthood of a
shire, was not vaunting the possession of any
ideal or chimerical power. He was merely pro-
claiming the necessity of affording to the first
Parliamentary champion of free trade the
m°4 brilliant recompense that the influence
of the renowned League could ensure. That
necessity is no longer in existence—it has been satis-
tude of
fied. A double victory
has demonstrated the
towardsgrati-
one of their most zealous
and disinterested benefactors. At Wolverhampton
Mr. VlLLizas virtually received a civic crown from

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

- - -
is indeed too true that the rumoured loss of
this fine steam-ship has now been confirmed. I have
this moment (ten o'clock, Thursday) received from my
brother, who was to have come home by the Tweed, and
for whose safety since the intelligence was received great
fears were apprehended, a letter written yesterday, of
which the following is an extract:—
" Royal Mail Steamer Avon, off Plymouth,
2 P.m., 7th April, 1847."

the 16th ult., since which I have been on passage. After
a most pleasant run through the West India islands, and
stopping one day at St. Thomas', and two at Bermuda, we
are now approaching the destination of the ship, and
shall, some time to-night, be on shore at Southampton.
We are ignorant whether the melancholy loss of the
Royal Mail steamer Tweed, the ship which should have
brought us from Bermuda, is yet known in England or
not. She was wrecked on the Alacarnes reef, in the
Gulf of Mexico, on the 12th February. Seventy-four
lives were lost, thirty of whom were passengers. The
survivors, seveuty-six in number, are on board of us."
This information may be relied on as authentic, and I
transmit it for early. publication to relieve, in some me-
sure, the great anxiety existing as to the fate of this
unfortunate vessel, and, as first rumoured, the loss of all
on bcarcl, the latt-r portion of which will now be seen .
not to be correct.—l am your obedient servant,

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
We have to report the arrival of a very moderate
supply of English Wheat during the present week, and
the stands were scantily filled with samples of both red
and white. Owing to the thin attendance of buyers,
the demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state,
at unaltered quotations. Exceedingly little business
was doing in Foreign Wheats, yet the holders refused to
accept lower prices. Most of the lute large arrivals of
Foreign Barley having been cleared off, the trade was
steady, at late rates. There was rather more doing in
Malt, 'and most of the factors refused to sell, except at
a tr►flr more money. Oats, Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
and Flour wire exceedingly dull, but not cheaper.

paper on Ang. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put Into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Ilerbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G:s
ftegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 1 Is. bottle if they were as certain of Its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure et nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will teal a Neamare in answering any
lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning gray, a few
drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
lrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.

The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing
)(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet, In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
n the crown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. it produces
air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
ead.„ it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vrnt convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.

POPE PIUS THE NINTH.

To him who now wears the tiara a noble mission
is confided. Gregory the Sixteenth, with all his re-
sistances, prejudices, and alarms, belongs to the
times that were. Pius the Ninth has entered upon
his high position with a true appreciation of the
wants—the claims of the age. If he can resist the
pernicious influences that will beset him, there will
be no bounds to his popularity and power, not only
in the States of Italy, but throughout Catholic
Christianity. His disposition to advance will be
favourably contrasted with the determination to stand
still, which was the law of his predecessor Italy
wants a Sovereign who shall be the recipient of
the public love, and Rome has still links enough
binding her to all the States around to give
an intelligent Pontiff an immense authority. The
other day I received from an Italian lady a
letter written on a sheet, at the top of which,
engraved in gold, was a portrait of the pre-
sent Pope. " See 1" said she, "it is thus we commu-
nicate with one another, thus that we convey our gra-
titude for what the holy father is doing—our ex-
pectations of what he still may do." Under the
guidance of a cultivated and civilised spirit, Rome
itself may awaken from its slumbers. It has still
within it some of the intellectual elements which
made it great and glorious. Let any man cross
the city into the Trans-Tiberian quarter (Tras-
tavere), and watch the countenances of those who
still represent the citizens of ancient Rome—that
portion of the population which is believed to have
escaped the fusion which the various races which
have from time to time invaded, possessed, and peo-
pled the Italian provinces ; in the whole of that
community, in the women especially, he will find
much to admire, and will not easily believe that
any great degeneracy can have corrupted such a
noble race. And it may be laid down as a safe posi-
tion, that where sound minds and fine physical powers
are preserved, there is no cause to despair of the re-
demption of nations. The seed of greatness have
not been wholly trampled down in Rome itself—
there is still fire in the ashes.—Dr. Bowring, in
Howitts Journal.

Low Tina IN THE Tnamus.--Yesterday afternoon
the ebb tide fell unusually low in the Thames, and many
of the above-bridge steamers and craft grounded in the
customary navigable channels of the river. Prom the
shallowness of the water, steam-vessels were unable to
bring up alongside the floating piers. At the Westmin-
ster-bridge steam-boat pier, Surrey side, three small
steamers were aground at the same time, to the great
consternation of the numerous passengers on board.

The German newspapers state that Professor
Schonbein, the inventor of the cotton powder, has dis-
covered a new composition which produces the same
effects as the inhalation of ether, without causing any
danger. The nature of the new iuvention is not de-
scribed.

THE RIVER PLATE.

The British Packet, of the 9th of January, received
in town on Wednesday, gives as follows the first por-
t al of th- message of General Rosas
SIFSSAGE TO THE TWENTY-FOURTH LEGISLATURE.
"To the Honourable Representatives of the Pro-
‘itice,-1 greet you with feelings of the highest com-
placency. In the midst of the rejoicings of the
country and of its national honour, you commence
our uguA session under the most p oospe,rous
kuspices. I congratulate myself upon this happy
event, which crowns my most ardent wishes and re-
wards your noble sacrifices and those of the nation at
large.
" The abuse of force bas not prevailcd over the
decision and just rights of the Republic. Memorable
and noble events are interwoven with her brilliant
nonour. The rude and unjust attacks of her ag-
-4ressors have been defeated by magnanimous reso-
lutions and the moral opinion of the world. The
position of the country is lofty and noble. Her
valour corresponds with her high virtue and immortal
celebrity. American sympathies have worthily pro-
nounced themselves in favour of her cause, and she
obtains the just suffrages of the nations of both worlds.
the Argentine Confederation, by adhering to the
persevering moderation of the Government, had
strengthened still more her rights and enhanced the
nobleness of her national character. By your wisdom
you have achieved this imperishable gloi;. The Om-
nipotent has enlightened your deliberations, and re-
wards your noble virtues. The i;onfederation, free
and victorious, is safe from national dishonour by the
invincible firmness of her patriotism. Her armies
have achieved fresh and glorious triumphs. The
Confederate Governments and people ardently defend
the national dignity and independence, by the tran-
quil and decided co-operation of their will, their he-
roic valour, and their armies. The enormity and
scandal of an infamous treason overwhelms the ruth-
less Unitarians. I present to you, respectfully, the
homage of my profound acknowledgment ; and I
congratulate you with unmingled satisfaction. In
such happy and honourable results I recognise the
visible protection of the Almighty, and offer to Him
the tribute of my most humble and fervent gratitude.
" Assembled by the will and confidence of the peo-
ple you are going to deliberate on the public affairs. I
humbly submit the acts of my administration to your
sovereign decision.

WHITE CONDUIT HOUSE TAVERN.-
RICHARD ROUSE, with deep gratitude for all past
favours, begs to inform his Friends and the Public, that his
Summer Arrangements for the Reception and Accommodation of
large or small DINNER PARTIES, are now complete, and most
respectfu ly solicits a continuation of the ho7.our of their patronage.
The abundant supply and the quality of all dinners provided by R.
Rouse, and his publicly acknowledged superior mode of serving them
up, having given such en ral satisfaction to his patrons, he begs to
call the attention of Stewards and Managing Committees of every
public dinner, to the near distance from the (ity, the central and airy
situation, the conveniences and capabilities of the White Conduit
House Tavern, the certainty of cheap conveyances, at all hours, to
every part of the metropolis ; and in the event of unfavourable
weather, more covered ground and premises than any other tavern
in England—advantages certain to insure a more numerous attend-
ance of the friends and supporters of their respective societies, and a
corresponding addition to the funds of their several benevolent and
praiseworthy institutions.

EXTENSION OF THE SOLTR-WESTERN TELEGRAPH
TO THE ADMlRALTY.—Yesterday morning the workmen
cam.ner.iced laying down the metal pipes for the exten-
sion of the South-Western Telegraph from the office
(formerly the Courier) in the Strand to the Admiralty.

clud, as far as possible any derangement of the apparatus
by the passage oF vehicles ; at intervals connecting posts
. be placed, and frequently inspected, in order to dis-
cover where any defect may be, should any injury take
place. The line will be laid on the north side of the
Strand as far as Agar•strcet, and then cross onwards to
Charing-cross, when the street will have to be crossed
a. ain to the Admiralty. Yesterday evening as far as
Burleigh•strec t was finished, and when the whole will be

from Warner, a summoning officer of St. Luke's, of the
death of Lucy Loomes, aged 22, who died at No. 14,
Baltic. street, Old-street, where she was about to spend
the honeymoon. It appeared that she was married on
Tuesday last, to a young man of respectable connexions,
at Spa-fields Chapel ; afterwards they walked about the
streets, when in the course of the afternoon, she cen37
I.lained of being ill. On reaching home she became
s_l!
bad, that a surgeon was sent for. Life, however,
became extinct.
London, England, 1847-04-09

11.1;1.111: S.

George Allison Omani, a tail, well. dressed man, about
33 years of age, a hoendraper, was ehargel wi•h ioter-
marrying with Anna Louisa Fosser, while his first wife
was alive.

Pearse J. Dixon, clerk of St. JOh lI'S district church,
Bethhal-green, produced the reizister-bye of marriages,
from which it appeared that George Allison Overt!in,
bachelor, and Harriet Ann Ives, spinster, were married
by banns on the 3d of July, 1839.
Mary Ives stated that. she is aunt to the prisoner's
first wife, and that when she heard of the marriage of
her niece in 1839 she went to St. John's Church to
satisfy herself of the fact. The prisoner and her niece
afterwards lived together as man and wife, and he want
by the name of Overton, and carried on the business of a
linendraper. The prisoner separated from his wife
three years and eight months ago. On Monday last
witness went to the residence of her niece, who was
then from home, but on the following day she received
a letter from her stating that she intended if possible
to present herself at the police-court, but she had not
done so.

In cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, the witness said
the prisoner and her niece quarrelled in the street, and
he returned to his dwelling in Limehouse-causeway, put
his goods in a cart, and left the neighbourhood. He re-
fused to allow his wife to accompany him, and used
threatening language towards her. She (witness) had
no doubt her niece left the prisoner in consequence of
his ill-usage. Her niece was afterwards reduced to
great distress, and she sent her to Yarmouth, where her
friends resided. She never heard that her niece was
unfaithful to her husband, but he had been very unfaith-
ful to her. She never heard the prisoner was a man of
unsound mind. Witness heard of the second marriage
some time ago. The mother of the prisoner married his
wife's father.

Mr. Pelham—l see—it was a family compact.
Anna Louisa Foster stated that she was married to the
prisoner at Whitechapel Church on the 22d of July last.
He married her in the name of George Hoshaiah Allison,
and she never knew him by any other. When she first
became acquainted with him he was in business as a
linendraper, and she was in the habit of making pur-
chases at the shop. He paid his addresses to her for 12
months previously to their marriage. On or about Christ-.
mae last he told her that he was married to another wo-
man, and that he did not like to mention it before, as he
feared the news would distress her. She continued to
live with him until the 23d of February last, when they
had a few words, and, after kissing her, he said she
would never see him again, and left home. She had not
seen him since the 23d of February until that day.
witnees fainted away when she had given her evi-
dence, and was carried out of court. _ _

Hobert Sheffield produced the certificate of the regster
of the I st marriage at Whitechapel Church.
Mr. YARDLEY said, the ett,e must go before a jury, and
there was not a single extenuating circumstlnce in the
case to justify him in taking bail. He committed the
prisoner for trial.
