DEATH WHILST BATHING AT SEA.—The port of

death of a professional gentleman, named Dick, who is
supposed to be related to the Scotch family of Dick

inserted in Tait's Magazine—and it is to the circum-
stance of his being a stranger in the town, added to
the impossibility which exists of communicatinghis
melancholy fate to his family con • nexions by any other
means than that of a newspaper paragraph, that his case
has excited a more than ordinary share of interest and
sympathy. The deceased gentleman, who was about 35
years of age, had been practising as a surgeon dentist,
and from his professional skill had recommended himself
to the favourable notice of many highly respectable
families in the neighbourhood. He is supposed to have
lived at Cheltenham previous to his visiting Whitehaven,
where, on Tuesday morning, he was bathing in a dan-
gerous part of the sea, near to the west pior, and was
drowned within sight of many persons who were unable
to render him any assistance. One gentleman, who had
warned the deceased on the day before as to the hazard-
ous nature of the sea at that particular spot, bravely
attempted to save the life of Mr. Dick, whose body was
rescued from the water after a search of half an hour.
A coroner's jury re turned a verdict of " Accidental
death." The rev. incumbent of St. James's kindly
undertook that the remains of the unfortunate gentleman
should meet decent interment.

AQUATICS.
RICHMOND AMATEUR REGATTA.

The Richmond Amateur Regatta, to the funds of
which his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Lord
G. Chichester, and others of the nobility and gentry sub-
scribed, took place on Wednesday. As regards sport, it
was altogether a very tame affair, and we cannot say
much in favour of the manner in which it was con-
ducted.

Gentlemen Amateurs' Scullers Match, for a Silver Pre-

sentation Vase.
First Heat.

Mr. W. Berry, Cloanthus Club (Red and white) 1
Mr. J. S. Salford, Fulham . (Pink) 2

The distance was from Sion House up to hichmond
Bridge. For a short time they were scull and scull, and
then the winner went away and won easily. Both were
impeded by craft passing, Walford particularly so, just
as be was overtopping his opponent in the early part of
the race.

Second Heat.

Mr. Stewart, St. George's Club (White and Red Cross) 1
Mr. J. G. Chillingworth (Light blue and red) 2
Distance as before. Mr. Stewart came to the win-
ning-post twenty lengths ahead or nearly so. Mr. Chil-
lingworth claimed, in consequence of a foul, as he al-
leged, from his adversary, at the early part of the race,
and declared that he had not, in consequence, exerted
himself towards the end of the race. The umpire, how-
ever, decided in favour of Mr. Stewart,
Third Heat.

Mr. G. C. Harpour, Richmond
Mr. C. Clifford ... ...

... (Crimson) 1
... (Light Blue) 0

A very hollow race. Won with the most perfect ease.
Grand Heat.
Mr. G. C. Harpour, Richmond 1
gr. Stewart, St. George's Club ...
Mr. Berry, of the Cloanthus, was entitled to row in
this heat, but it was started without him. He stated
that it being nearly high water he applied to some of the
committee, who told him that the race would be started
up; and he, accordingly, went down to the station,
where, after remaining for some time in the pouring rai❑
and finding the tide turned, he of conrse considered the
race would be started downwards, and as his opponents
were not with him he determined on going to the other
end. The Herne Club very kindly conveyed him, but
the other two had started before he arrived there. Mr.
Harpour won easily at the latter part of the race.
Gentleman Amateurs' Pair oared Race for a Silver Cup.
Messrs. T. Sydney and A. Baldry, Thames Club,
(Light Blue) 1
Messrs. Kilpatrick and Ewen, London ...(Black) 0
It was a race to the point, after which the winners
went boats ahead.

Gentlemen Amateurs' Four-oared Match for Four Silver
Presentation Cups.
Isleworth Sybil Club 1
Messrs. F. G. H. Smith, M. Stanbrough, W. F.
Watson, W. Johnson, - steerer.
Westminster Aquatic Club 0

The Cloanthus Club, London
Messrs. J. T. Cosser, J. Browning, Routlodge,
W. Berry, stroke, C. Watson, stcerer.
The Westminster got a slight lead ; the Syon then
gallantly went in advance, retained it, and won by some
lengths. The two others formed a dashing race through-
out, the Cloanthus picking up their boat beautifully at the
last, and losing the second place by scarcely hall a length.
A" scratch" match with fours wound up the sport.

THE POST A return moved for by
Viscount Seymour, M.P., shows that the net revenue of
the foreign and colonial postage, as near as can be esti-
mated, for the year ending January, 1848, amounted to
616,564/. In the opinion of the Secretary to the Post-
office, however, the mode adopted in estimating this re-
turu is faulty and the result erroneous.
