REGATTA AT ISLE WORTH.

The great regatta at Isleworth, which has for some
time past engrossed the attention of aquatic gentlemen,
amateurs and others, took place on Monday, under a
committee of the most influential residents of the place,
who had prepared so sumptuous a bill of fare, that,
but for the extremely unfavourable state of the wea-
ther, must have rendered the meeting superior to
any that have taken place near the metropolis, ex-
ci,vpt only the Thames Grand Regatta. It unfortu-
nately, however, poured with rain nearly the whole
of the day; notwithstanding which the Duchess Dowager,
the Duchess of Northumberland, and a select party, wit-
nessed the race from Sion Pavilion. There was a large
assemblage of ladies and gentlemen on board the Vivid
steamer and a state barge of Captain Styles's, lately be-
longing to the Goldsmith's Company, and many hundreds
availed themselves of the shelter of the trees to view the

the arrangements throughout were admirable.

nent. Won by two lengths.

It was a most capital race throughout. They were
oar and oar for some distance, then the winners drew
their nose in advance, the other two boats being abreast.
The winners then, foot by foot, gained upon their op •
ponents. At the Railshead Ferry the second boat was
only half a length in advance of the third. The struggle
on all hands was continued to the winning post. Won
by half a length.

Ewen and partner had a slight lead for a few strokes
only, then the winners went gradually in advance, but
were closely pressed by the other pairs. Ewen and part-
ner held the second boat well for half the distance, but
then dropped astern, and Baldry and partner's pace was
so great that the leading pair had their work to do to
keep their place till within a very short distance of the
winning post —Won by three lengths.

It was a capital race between Ravenshaw and Bur-

too close to each other in the heat of the race, when the
winner, who had been close up, slipped by, and won by
two lengths. Mr. Fletcher, of Richmond, was in the
heat, but his stretcher gave way shortly after the start.

The other did not go. The two first were scull and
scull nearly all the way; towards the last, they acci•

Smith.
A four-oared "scratch" wound up the sport.

CHRISTCDURCH AND ST. JOHN'S

REGATTA.

This regatta, although in its infancy, this being its
first celebration, came off on Monday, and bids fair to
rival some of its elder brethren. Despite of wind and
weather, it attracted a numerous body of spectators.
The prizes were, a purse of sovereigns, and other moneys,
given by the gentry and tradesmen residing in the vici-
nity. The match was to be rowed by six double-scullers,
in three beats; the two first boats in each heat to row
for the grand.

HER MAJESTY'S ANNUAL MARINE EXCURSION.—
The report has been revived again that her Majesty and
Prince Albert's marine excursion this year will extend
to Scotland, and that, too, in the vicinity of the High-
lands, where the newly-acquired royal estate is situated.
THE ALLEGED MURDER OF THREE CHILDREN IN
GnosvEszon-PLACE.—Yesterday Mr. Bedford, Coroner
for Westminster, resumed at the Malpas Arms, Charles-
street, Grosvenor-square, the adjourned inquiry respect-
ing the deaths of Mary Elizabeth Dore, aged seven
weeks, and Adolphus William Spry, aged 11 months.
The first-named deceased was a sister of the child on
whose body an inquest was held by the same coroner
about a fortnight since, for whose death a verdict of
wilful murder was returned against Mary Ann Dore and
Mary Spry, the mother and grandmother, who kept a
lodging-house in Lower Grosvenor-place. From what
transpired at the former inquest as to the sudden deaths
of the children, and the many reports since circulated

whether the children had died from the effects of
poison or not. Mr. Rogers, the eminent analytical lec-
turer, and Mr. Bloxam, the surgeon, had made a most
minute analysis of the two bodies, but nothing in the
shape of poison could be detected in either. The latter
gentleman proved that he attended the deceased for
diarrhoea and convulsions. The jury without the least
hesitation returned a verdict, that one child died from
diarrhoea, and the other from convulsions.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The Prevailing Epidemic
Bowel Complaints may be Cured by Holloway's Pills.—
Persons suffering from Diarrhoea, or any affection of the
bowels, should have immediate recourse to Holloway's
Pills, as they are the safest and most certain remedy to
obviate and remove the morbid and irritating causes of
the disorder, by which means the impaired tone of the
stomach becomes perfectly restored. An inordinate
secretion of Bile is frequently the primary instigation of
these troublesome complaints, and should be guarded
against by taking timely doses of these inestimable Pills,
and which are acknowledged to be the best medicine ever
known for diseases of the Liver, Bile, and Indigestion.—
