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

CHRISTCHURCH 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 tradesman residing in the vici-
nity. The match was to be rowed by six double-scullers,
in three heats; 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 Or THREE CHILDREN IN
GROSVENOR-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
tending to throw a suspicion as to the two deaths, the
churchwardens were communicated with, and the
bodies, which had been interred in the burial-ground of
St. George's, at Bayswater, were exhumed, and instruc-
tions were given to have the stomachs analysed to ascer-
tain 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.
