PAUL'S WHARF REGATTA.—LAMENTABLE
OCCURRENCE.
' This regatta yesterday amongst landsmen, in four-oared
cutters, was unfortunately put an end to by a very lament-
able occurrence. The competitors in the first heat had
rowed, and the three boats engaged in the second were in
the heat of the race. when, in rounding at Southwark-bridge,
blue, manned by Peacock, J. Hawkins, K. Morris, R. Hol-
loway, and J. Adams, touched another boat in advance of
them, and went athwart one of the piers of the bridge. The
boat immediately upset, and the whole party were immersed
in the water. Every assistance was immediately afforded,
and four of the rowers were rescued, but Hawkins met a
watery grave. The managers immediately stopped the
race, and discharged the band of musicians, and it was ar•
ranged, with one accord, that the whole of the money which
had been subseribed to be rowed for should be given to the
widow of the unfortunate deceased, who has two young
children, and bears strong indications of being encknte. The
lamentable occurrence created a very considerable sensation
in the neighbourhood.

round a boat off King's Arms-stairs, and back to Lambeth-
stairs. It was a capital start, all together of a cluster for
some strokes, when White drew out, pressed by pink ; white
then gradually got further in advance, and a smart race
occurred between the other two for second. Won by two
lengths.

King's Arms-stairs, up the Surrey shore to Burnett's, and
back to Lambeth-stairs. They went off at a great pace, pink
with a good lead after a few strokes, and white rowing des-
perately to overtake them. Off the Horseferry pink rowed
into a wager boat, by which means white got a good lead,
and kept it, winning by three lengths. Pink did their best
to retrieve their accident.

DREADFUL DEATH OF A CLER-
GYMAN RAVING AIAD.
MYSTERIOUS AND SUSPICIOUS AFFAIR.
Yesterday, and throughout the whole of Sunday, con-
siderable sensation was manifested amongst the clergy and
local authorities of the parish of St. Pancras, in consequence
1 of the dreadful and melancholy end of a Rev. Gentleman,
for many years past officiating at the old church; and the
mysterious and suspicious circumstances connected there-
with. On instituting inquiries in various quarters yester-
day, the following narrative was obtained by the reporter:—
The Rev. Gentleman alluded to is the Rev. Charles Kayo,
aged fifty, who has been fur some years past the assistant
minister at Old St. Pancras Church. On the afternoon of
Sunday, the 26th ult., the Rev. Gentleman, as was his
usual custom, attended the burial-ground, and read the
funeral service over a great number of bodies. He also
attended, for a similar purpose, on the Wednesday and
Thursday following, and on these occasions he appeared
in his usual health. Ile was again expected to perform his
duties, as usual, on Sunday, the 2d instant, but as he
did not make his appearance, inquiries were instituted,
and it was ascertained that the unfortunate gen-
tleman had, on the previous evening, been conveyed away
from his apartments, No. 18, Wilmot-street, Brunswick-
square, in a cab to the University College Hospital, on the
ground that he had been seized with insanity. It appears
that on the arrival of the Rev. Gentleman at the hospital Dr.
Quain, the resident physician and surgeon, was from home,
and on the representations of the two gentlemen who accom-
panied him, the house apothecary was induced to admit him
as a patient. On the return of Dr. Quain, it being ascer-
tained that the Rev. Mr. Kaye was really mad, notice was
giVen that he must be removed, his case not being a proper
one for treatment in that hospital. On the following Tues-
day the parties who had taken the Rev. Gentleman to the
hospital again removed him in a cab to the St. Pancras
Workhouse, where he remained under the care of a Mr.
T. H. Cooper, the parish surgeon, until Saturday last,
when he died, it is stated, in a most dreadful manner and
raving mad.
The Rev. Mr. Kaye, who is stated to be a widower, had
resided for upwards of five years at No. 18, Wilmot-street,
and was generally supposed to be a poor clergyman, but
circumstances have within the last few days transpired to
induce a belief that the contrary is the fact.
After the removal of the Rev. Gentleman from the hospital
to the workhouse, the persons above alluded to proceeded to
18, Wilmot-street, and demanded of the landlady the keys
of the Rev. Mr. liave's apartments. These, however, she
refused to resign at first, but ultimately did so, on which the
gentlemen proceeded up stairs, and then being unable to find
the keys, they forced the drawers, secretaires, &c., of the un-
fortunate gentleman, and took away with them all his
writings, and it is believed a considerable amount of other
property. Having again fastektd up the doors of the apart-
ments, the gentlemen called upon the landlady to take
charge of the keys of them, and allow no one to
enter until they had paid another visit. TIY,s,
however, she positively declined to do, as she had
no knowledge of the property about to be taken
away, and the parties then left, taking the keys
with them. The most remarkable circumstance, and
that which appears to excite the greatest suspicion is the
fact, that during the whole time the Rev. Gentleman has
been an inmate of the workhouse, not a single soul has
visited, or made any inquiries after bins, norrisiiisncreemhiosvdrtn
up to last evening, had any. one applied foer

tunate gentleman had been in the workhouse, he was so ex.
tremely violent as to render necessary hisconstant
acpopnefianrcde-
ment in a strait waistcoat, and all his apprehensions
to be that he was being "robbed and murdered." An order
of removal had been procured, and had not death terminated
his sufferings on Saturday, the Rev. Gentleman wad
to have been removed on Monday to the County Lunatic
Asylum, at Hanwell. In consequence of the singular cir-
cumstance and the unsatisfactory nature of the me, the
overseers of the poor intend laying the whole facts before the
board of directors and guardians, and a communication on
the subject having been also forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the
coroner, there can be but little doubt the entire matter will
undergo, as it deserves, a rigid investigation.

AND SUICIDE.—During the last
week the district around Battel, in Buses, was painally excited by
the occurrence of one of those tragical transactions—murder and sui-
cide, which of late have unhappily been frequently enacted in
various parts of the kingdom. The scene of this dreadful affair is
at the village Of Whattington, a few miles distant from Bette!,
According to the evidence adduced before the coroner at the
inquest, it appeared that a labourer, named Freeland, had been
confined to his bed for ten weeks, but latterly he had so far re-
covered as to be able to wander about the house. On Sunday
evening, a woman named Davis took the child from the mother
(who was lighting the fire), and, presenting it to the father.
said, " Here is your father." He replied, " I shall not have
anything to say to it, for when I nurse it I get in the wrong.
and am blowed up." His wife then looked up at him, and observed,
" I wish it would please God to take me and the baby this night."
Upon which Freeland made answer, " If it does, I hope it will please
God to take you to heaven." She then took the child, and iu a few
minutes left the house in an excited state, and hours passing and
she not returning, search was made for her, and late in the evening
her body and that of the child were found in a neighbouring pond.
Evidence was given showing that Freeman and his wife generally
lived very happily together, and were excessively fond of the child.
The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased wife destroyed her-
self and child while in a state of temporary insanity."
DARING ROBBERY OF ANCIENT COINS, &c,—On
Monday information was received by the police, that between the
hours of seven and eight o'clock that morning, a most daring rubbery
was committed at the residence of Mr. George Gwilt, Union-street
St. Saviour's, Southwark, and thefollowing valuable property carried
off :—Between 500 and 600 silver coins (Roman), a large number at
gold coins (English and Roman), a silver pepper-box and silver mus-
tard-spoon, a silver table-spoon, and a very elegant silver-gilt snuff-
box with the following inscription on it:—" Presented to George
Gwilt, Esq., architect, F.S.A., in admiration of his able restoration
of the beautiful specimen of the early English architecture, 0.1,40::
Chapel, St.. Saviour's, Southwark, to which he gratuitously gave hi
scientific and valuable services, A.D., 1542." It Is not known now
the thief obtained aoeess to the premises.
