all grades have been tested is from Westminster to Put-
ney, and whether with the patrician eight single pair or
sculls, for many years past this has been the stipulated
course. - The London mid Westminster Iron Steam-boat
Company, with a desire to encourage the spirit of emu-
lation amongst watermen, and add their mite to the
aquatic amusements of the season, announced their inten-
tion a few days since of giving a purse of sovereigns to
be rowed for, and Noulton, the experienced waterman Of
Lambeth, was directed by the directors to select the
eight Best men (the champion only excepted) to contend
in three heats for the various prizes. The following
were chosen :

FIRST HEAT.
James Maynard Lambeth Yellow.
George Campbell ....Lawbeth Blue.
H. Shelton Lambeth Black.
J. Phelps Fulham Green.

SECOND HEAT.
J. Kelly Putney Pink.
H. Godfrey Old Swan White.
J. Connaway Horslydown Stripe.
E. Perry Lambeth Reel. .
To enter into into any lengthened detail of the Iner.,ts
of these men would be a work of supererogation ; a 'e 'l
words only will suffice. Phelps, Kelly, Shelton,
and
Campbell are old favourites. They have all beer,
are still, first-rate and celebrated men ; Connavra;l arl

for a cup given by the proprietors of Vauxhall Gardens,
Perry and Godfrey made their debut on Tuestlay. Tiler
were unknown until then. This might fairly have been
termed three distinct races, and three finer were never
seen upon the Thames. All the trying contests hitheytho
(save every Doggett's Coat and Badge) have been wit
tide, but this was against it; and as such afforded the
public, who were much interested, an opportnnity offt
viewing the match from the shores, and from Londe.
Bridge to Chelsea. Those who felt a desire had an ample
opportunity ofgratifyingit. The first heat was from Londoe
Bridge to Lambeth Palace; the second, from there to th
,r
Swan at Chelsea ; and the third, the latter distance. At
a quarter-past four the first heat was started. iNiTaynara-
had the.best place. and the others followed in the order
in which they stand on the list. Maynard took the lead,
and kept it, followed by Campbell. Shelton was third,
but only held it a few seconds, when Phelps, who v 'as
the favourite at starting against the field, took - if.
Maynard had to work hard to keep the leading place,,
and when within a mile of the winning place, PhelPsv
who had been husbanding his strength, made a grand.
effort fur the second place, and there is but little doubt•
would have succeeded but that accident prevented bile-
He IMO on Campbell's quarter, when in passing throng 4

. 5A..1,111011 AND GRILsE,--The river Twed,
rrom
.2orick to Kiilse, has for some time past been lite
tall teem's--
with salmon and grilse. On k)tuiday night,
aboutpassing
eight o'clo,:k1 hundreds were seen up the
river at the Ferry, at r::
2rouston, and other shallow
parts, and on Monday morultig great numbers v-ere
observed making their way from .Maxwheel through
the different arches of Kelso-bridge ; and above
the bridge, where the river is very shallow at present,
they were seen in immense shoals ploughinn- their way
up the water. Altogether it was a novel and' interest-
ing sight, and shows clearly the unprecedented number
of fish which must be at the mouth of the river. Th.,
neighbouring markets have been abundantly supplied all
this week with fish of excellent quality, and at very mo-
derate prices. Salmon have been selling at 6d. to Sel•
and grilses from sd. to sd. per lb,-.4Vewcastle journal.
