SCULLERS MATCH FOR 30/., BETWEEN JOHNSON
AND DOYLE.—The scullers match between these below-bridge
men, which has caused much speculation amongst the " wise
men of the east," was decided yesterday afternoon. Both
men, from past exploits, are known to fame, and the interest
was consequently not confined to their own locality. Both
have won several matches, and last year Doyle, with Prince
for partner, won the " oars match" at Putney Regatta. The
friends of each man were very confident ; both were in first-
rate condition, Johnson being the stronger man, and Doyle
the neater sculler. Betting in favour of Doyle. The course
was from Putney to Mortlake, with the tide. At half-past
four the men took their stations, Doyle at the centre arch,
and Johnson at the one to the Fulham side of it. Much
finesse was displayed at starting; but after three false starts
they went off, Doyle instantly showing slightly in front, this
position he improved, owing to Johnson having to avoid
some barges moored in his course; but opposite Finch's the
struggle was renewed, and the men became scull and scull,
both rowing "all they knew." Now the strength of John-
son began to tell, and he drew his boat ahead, and at Rose
Cottage Doyle made a gallant spurt to wrest his position from
him, but failed to do so, and Johnson gaining fresh heart
from his opponent's discomfiture, redoubled his efforts,
and
continued steadily to improve his advantage, coming in a
winner by twelve boats length. John Phelps, of Fulham,
trained and steered the winner.

DEATH OF AN ITALIAN GIRL. Yesterday an
inquest was held at the Marquis Cornwallis Inn, Ipswich, on
the body of Elizabeth Eager, an itinerant Italian musician,
aged 17 years. It appeared from the evidence that on the
previous day, about ten o'clock in the evening, the deceased
and another girl were in the Rainbow public-house, playing
on the tambourine and piano, when George Barker, who was
present, after having invited the deceased to accompany him
out of the house, which she refused to do, followed her into
the street, and commenced pulling her about, and succeeded
in getting hold of the stick on which the piano rested. She
attempted to get it out of his hands, when lie struck her on
the face with it, and she fell to the ground, and never spoke
after, but died in about twenty minutes. Several persons
were present when the struggle for the stick took place, and
Barker was secured and given into custody. He was tipsy
at the time, and had been so for some time. Mr. Bailer,.
who had made a post mortem examination of the body, said
he had no doubt as to the cause of the death of the girl.
The inquest was then adjourned until the following day.
MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
by the last advices was 14 per milk, which, at the Eng-
lish Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard
