THAMES YACHT CLUB M4TCH.
The annual sailing match, under the rules of this
club, for the grand challenge cup, came off on Tuesday.
The point of starting was from the moorings off Green-
wich Hospital, the boats to round the flag buoy at
Coalhouse- point, about two miles below Gravesend, and
back to Greenwich. The matches for this cup were
first commenced in the year 1840, and by the rule then
established the winner was to retain the cup for a year,
when it was again to be sailed for. If any boat should
win the cup two years in immediate succession, the cup
was to become the property in perpetuity of the owner
of such boat ; if not, it was again to be contested. It
has so happened, that for seven matches in has been won
by seven different boats, and till yesterday it almost
seemed that it was destined annually to change hands,
and that nobody would be longer than a )ear the pos-
sessor of it. It will be seen, however, that its fate is
now determined, and that it has at length become the
property of Mr. J. W. Smith, the owner of the Secret,
who won it last season, and won it again on Tuesday.
The match was well contested, and excited a great deal
of interest. The weather was unfavourable for the at-
tendance of much company, nevertheless there was a
tolerably numerous gathering of ladies and gentlemen
on board the Meteor steamer, in which were Captain
Barwell, the Vice-Commodore, and the other officers of
the club, a band of music under the direction of Mr.
Adams, and such other accompaniments as a good com-
missariat, &c., could supply. The ruatch was commenced
at a quarter-past eleven, the tide running down, and the
wind blowing in squalls, with rain and sleet, from the
west. The yachts in the match were these :-
1. The Antagonist, 25 tons—Mr. G. I'. Naylor.
2. The Ino, 25 tons—Mr. H. Gibson.
3. The Secret, 25 tons—Mr. J. W. Smith.
4. The Challenger, 22 tons—Mr. Fradgley.
5. The Frima Donna, 25 tons—Captain I. L. Ives.
6. The Zuleika, 20 tons—Mr. M. King.
At starting the Secret took the lead; the Ino came
next, then the Antagonist, then the Challenger, then the
Zuleika, and lastly the Prima Donna. The three last-
named boats were awkwardly clustered together for a
minute or two, but it can hardly be said there was any
fouling, although they did not cant freely in ccnsequence.
At Woolwich the Zuleika passed the Antagonist to lee-
ward, and was third boat in the match, the boats making
a running match of it, with wind at intervals and a good
tide b'neath to float them along. Off Purfleet the
Zuleika passed the Ino, and was second boat, drawing
upon the Secret, which off Tilbury-fort she passed to
windward, and for a time was the leading boat in the
match; her success was, however, very short-lived, for
before reaching Coalhouse-point the Secret gained her
position, and was the first boat to round the buoy, which
she did at 57 minutes and 20 seconds past 1 o'clock. She
was followed by the Zuleika, at 58 minutes 20 seconds
past 1 o'clock; by the Ino, at 59 minutes 31 seconds
past 1 o'clock ; by the Antagonist, at 1 minute 21 seconds
past 2 o'clock; by the Prima Donna, at 6 minutes 35
scconds past 2 o'clock; and by the Challenger at 8
minutes 30 seconds past 2o'clock. The tide was now within
an hoer of Hood, so that ior some time the yachts had to
contend with it. Tacking was corn.: enct d, and the
match became full of inttrist. The Secret, however,
kept the lead the whole way back; and it was soon ap-
parent that, barring accirl..nts. her success was certain.
She reached the winning fls at 144 minutes to 6 o'clock,
thus gaining for her owner the I,,ng contested cup; and
was followed by the Ino at 121 to 6 o'clock; by the
Antagonist at 114 to 6 o'clock; and by the Zuleika at
44 minutes to 6 o'clock. The match was a good one,
and well sailed by all the boats. Captain Harwell, in the
absence of the Commodore (Lord A. Paget), whose
duties required his attendance elsewhere, presented the
cup to Mr. Smith. Captain Freestone, R.N., also said
a few words on the occasion, and the company expressed
their gratification in long and loud cheers.
The steamer then brought back the numerous party
to London-bridge, and the business of the day was closed.

ROLLS' COURT, June 9.
CROSS L. CROSS.

The arguments in this cause were concluded to-day.
His LOILDIPHIP delivered judgment. Ti.ia was a will in
which nothing was clear, and he did not believe th.t any
two persons could be found who would come to the same
conclusion in reference to it. He considered that upon the
true construction of the will it must be considered that the
widow of the testator was entitled to both his real and per-
sonal estate. With respect to the argument that had been
raised that morning with respect to the construction of the
word " advancement" which occurred in the will, the
meaning of that word, in the acceptation of the Court, was a
gift beforehand of what a party was entitled to afterwards.
That being the case, it followed that it was a gift subject
to legacies. Then came another part of the ques;ion,
the concluding paragraph of the rill commencing with the
words "And lastly." Ile considered that that was to be
construed with reference to the preceding clauses, and not
with respect to the whole will. The only exception to that
was what related to Mrs. Bush's three children, and that
created some doubt as to that interpretation. Upon that
point he thought he was not called on to deter-
mine then. He would, under all the circumstances of the
case, make a declaration on this point in the sense in which
he had just stated. There was no question arising about the
maintenance of the child of Mr. Cross, and he thought Mrs.
Cross must allow her aged parents 501. a year. He thought
she ought also, though not compelled to do so, to pay the
legacies of Mrs. Bush's children.
On the application of Mr. Turner, his LORDSHIP directed
that the cost of all parties should come out of the estate.

VICE-CHANCELLOIW COURT, June 9.
(Before the Vac:-CRANCELI OR of ENGLAND.)
THE EXETER AND CREDITON RAILWAY COMPANY V. BULLER.
The arguments in this motion for dissolving the injunc-
tion were resumed and concluded to-day.
The VICE-CuAxcitt.ton gave judgment, ordering the in-
junction to be continued, and refusing the motion for its dis-
solution with costs.

persons hear the complainant request him to wait for the change.
He was allowed, by the
.regulations of the police, to re-
tain possession of base coin for 21 days.
Mr. Powell said the regulation alluded to did exist,
and that the superintendent of each division of police de-
livered the base coin to the authorities of the Mint every
month.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he would do all in his power to
put an etal to such an arrangement, which ought never
to have existed. Police constables ought not to retain

Kai the case in the preient instsnee.

Insi.ector Scott, o.fthe II division, said the constable
had 'stated that which was

date, and other particulars, and at the expiration of

Mr. BALLANTINE—That is very proper and a per
!'ec,ly practicable reoiution. Wtl3 it not done io
this case? .

The prisoner said he suppos(,:d be was to keep posse,.
sion of the euuniertett croi,ns for twenty-one (lays, and
he carried them loose in his p(!eket. Thy were al!
marked. The one in dispute was marked with the
initial " G. G." and across. -

Inspector Ellis pr,,duced the counterreit crown, which
was marked in the way stated. He received it of Mrs.
Simon's father-in law.
Mrs. Moore stated that she was the mother-in-law of
Mr. Scurr, the landlord of the White Lion beer-shoo,
and that she changed the crown-pi, ce between the hours'
of nine and ten o'clock, and not between the hours of
eight and nine, as stated by the first witness. There
was some doubt as to its being a good one when she
changed it, but Mr. Scurry brother, on being referred
to, said it was a good one. The complainant, Mrs.
Simon, said it must be a good one, for she had just
taken it of a policeman.
Joseph G. Scum landlord of the White Lion, stated
that he first discovered the crown-piece was a bad one,
and on returning it to Mrs. Simon she said she took it
of a police-constable as a penny-piece, in payment of a
penny-loaf, and that she laid the change, 4s. lid., on a
shelf, in expectation the constable would find out his
mistake and call for it.

Mr. BALLANTINE said he would give the prisoner the
benefit of the supposition that he had given the forged
piece in mistake for a penny, and discharge him, but
he was not at all satisfied with his conduct. Whetter
the Police Commissioners, who ought to make an in.
quiry, would be satisfied with ila,ndley's conduct he
would not say. Ue could not understand why the po-
lice-constable was allowed to have possession of base
coin at ail. The policeman must have known he bad
lost one of the spurious crowns ; and it was strange lie
never made any inquiry after it, instead of leaving the
case to be made the sun j-ct of this investigation.
The prisoner said he did miss it on Thursday night,
and made inquiries. He was then informed that the
base crown toad been delivered to the superintendent.
Mr. BALLANTINE—WeII, I am not satisfied, but I dis-
charge you as regards the uttering of counterteit coin
knowingly.
THE STEPNEY MUNDEE.—Henry Jones Harrison was
brought up for final examination, charged with a murderous
assault upon the person rtf Ann Ford.
It will be remembered that about a fortnight since Harri-
son, in a fit of intoxication, kicked and beat the poor creature
in a most brutal manner, and although she was immediately
placed under the care of Dr. Cleland, from whom she received
every attention, she lingered till Sunday morning last, when
she expired.

The evidence this day merely corroborated the particular
which have already appeared in The Sun of the 2d instant.
Mr. BALLANTINI particularly que-tioned the principal
witness, Mrs. Inc e, the landlady of the house where the pri-
soner and the deceased lodged, as to any cause of quarrel
that might huve existed, but she declared that she did not
know of aLy.
Dr. Cleland, in addition to his former evidence, stated that
on a post-mortem examination of the body he found the peri-
toneum very red and inflamed; this was immediately over
the part where it was stated in evidence that the prisoner had
kicked her. There were few external marks of violence.
The gall bladder was ruptured, and the body being otherwise
in a healthy condition, in his opinion, this was the primary
cause of death.

The prisoher made no defence, and
Mr. BALLANTINE said he should commit him to take his
trial on the capital charge, and airected Mr. Symons, the
chief clerk, to take the depositions.

handwriting, taking leave of them, and stating his intention
to commit suicide. He also spoke of a person by whoa '

as to bring on a morbid depression of spirits, and thus the..
inducement to so rash an act. The body was discovered

three o'clock on Monday morning, lying on the shore oesi.

accomplish the violent deed that he had tied a large stone to
his neck, by means ors rope, and had on his shirt and tock"
ings at the time he plunged into the water. Verdict'

A representation has been addressed by the whole'
sale spice-dealers in London to the merchants interested in
the East India trade, with the view of removing a dieadvair
tage to which they (the dealers)
are subjected under the
conditions on which at. present they effect their purchases at
the public sales. At these sales the terms of payment for
certain articles--pepper, cloves, cinnamon, cassia, nutmeg%
in ice, a:.d sago—are three months prompt, with an lemma;
diate .deposit of 15 per cent. ; and the grievance cotnpleine:
of is, that upon this deposit no discount is allowed, altbongs;

SINGULAR COMBAT.—One morning lately', l'occikre
mesticated jackdaw, belonging to the keeper of tne m_ur at
toll-bar, took It into his head to treat himself to Icimiud..
large, in an adjoining field. While doing so he Wilsbow,
denly pounced upon by a hawk, which in this case' to eon"
ever, met a " foeman worthy of his steel." A desperate
flict ensued, which ultimately became such a cleat
ab;ri
struggle, that the two combatants were lifted DP cot' ee
into the house, and even then it was found a matter
small difficulty to separate them. The toll keeper,f)"; os
