MATCH AGAINST TIME.
Mr. W. Smith, a very respectable landsman, yesterday
rowed a match against time. The distance was from
Richmond Bridge to Putney Bridge, with tide ; the
amount of stakes did not transpire; the time in which
the task was undertaken was one hour. R. Coombes,
the champion of the Thames, had been engaged to direct
the steerage of the " operator," who accomplished the
distance to Kew Bridge in 20 min. 34 secs., Hammer-
smith Bridge i❑ .18 min,, and, finally, by dint of great
pluck, accomplished his task fifteen seconds within the
given time.

OPZNING Or THE NEW NORTH DOORS LIVER.-
rooL.—On Friday, five of the splendid line of new
docks in course of construction at the north end of the
town were formally opened for traffic by Mr. J. Brom-
ley Moore, chairman of the doci trustees. The founda-
tion stone of these immense works was privately laid,
and it had been resolved that their opening should also
take place without the least pomp or ceremony. Up-
wards of a week ago, water was admitted into the five
docks which it was intended to open; and on Friday,ail
necessary arrangements having been previously made,
the Redwing, Government steamer, with Mr. Moore,
the Dock Committee, and a party of gentlemen
on board, made its entrance into the first, named
the Salisbury Dock. Having sailed round, the
vessel successively entered the Nelson, the Bromley
Moore, the Collingwood, and the Stanley Docks, a i
thus completed the opening. The aggregate of the five
docks opened yields a water area of between thirty and
forty acres available for the accommodation of shipping.

The famous CASTLE, ESTATE, and MANOR 01 lIIGIIAM the
Mansion of Mounttield, the Gate Borough Marshes, and School
Farm, and other properties within the borough, and a great part
adjoining the town and port of Rye, with a portion of the Pet
Level Marshes, near Winchelsea, offering most eligible and hn-
proveable investments, and invaluable Accommodation Lands to
the town, altogether upwards of 1,000 acres, with the old Castle
Ruins, surrounded by highly picturesque scenery, only tvrelve

miles from Hastings.-
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON have
received instructions to prepare for SALE by AUCTION,
at the Auction Mart, in SEPTEMBER, in Lots (unless acceptable offers
should be previously made by Private Treaty),
The above ♦ery important and influential FREEHOLD ESTATES,
embracing the fine breadth of rich grazing and dairy land (with a
very small proportion under the plough and hops). spreading in
wide expanse between the towns of Rye and Winchelsea, ch,efly
occupied by Jeremiah Smith, Esq., partly bounded by tho navigable
River Brede, the Government 31111tary-road. and the harbour of
Itye, on which it has a wharf and limekiln. The Castle Estate will
form one lot of about 650 acres with or without the Pet Level
Marshes, about 110 acres ; the Gate Borough Marshes, several lots
for the accommodation of the telin ; also the School-house Farm,
and the residence of 31ountfield, with its rich and finely-timbered
grounds at the entrance of the town, separate lots. These fine
marsh estates have the great advantage of unfailing springs of fresh
water, and are- subject to very trifling level scots; and the larger
proportion being in the parish of Icklesham, are subject to mode-
rate pcior-rates. To trustees they present particularly choice
vestments, as there is little or no timber to pay for, and few build-
ings required.
The estates may be viewed, and descriptive particulars, with
plans, had at the inns at Eye, Hastings, &c. ; of Messrs. Wright and
Kingsford, solicitors, Essex-street, Strand; of Messrs. Lardner and
Dawes, Solicitors, Rye ; at the Auction Mart; and of Messrs. Daniel

CRICKET.

ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND V. FOURTEEN OF TEE
COUNTY OF SURREY.—ThiS important match was com-
menced yesterday, at the Surrey Ground, Kennington-
oval, upon which nearly 5,000 spectators had assembled,
amongst whom there was a large number of the aristo-
cracy. There was also no small number of the resi-
dents of the lower part of the county. A finer exhi-
bition of cricket was probably never seen than was
offered throughout the day. There were some good
hands made, Pilch, Parr, Clark, W. Pilch, and Box,
being conspicuous on the part of England, and Mr. Colt-
son and Martingell as the representatives of Surrey. At
the conclusion of the play for the day, the score stood
as follows:--England, Ist innings, 129; Surrey, Ist
innings, 32.

AQUATICS.
" GREENWICH REGATTA.
The facilities of reaching this popular place of summer
resort by rail and steamer, and anticipation of good
sport at tha regatta, induced many hundred persons to avail
themselves of th© unusual fineness of the weather, yes-
terday, and journey in that direction. The regatta, one
of the best conducted in the lower part of the Thames,
and under the patronage of the Dowager-Countess of
Buckinghamshire, Earl Fitzhardinge, Lord Alfred Paget,
Admiral Sir C. Adam, and others of the nobility and
gentry, was in five heats, with six free watermen of
Greenwich, for a new boat, and several other very liberal
prises.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JIILY.—From the weekly sani-

cline in cholera cases in the capital. On the 11th
206 died, among whom were only 55 females. The
greater number of deaths have occurred in Galata,
namely, 20, and in Pera 7.

" ' FERDINAND.'

" It affords me the highest gratification publicly to
make known to you this supreme mark of distinction
conferred upon our ♦aliant brethren in army, as well as
their veteran leader, Count Latour, Master of the Ord-
nance."
- - -

------
The Tienna Gazette of the Ist has the following :
" A day or two since questions were put to the Mi-
nistry as to what steps had been taken to hasten the
return of the Emperor to the capital. The reply was,
that penetrated with the importance
en address, praying his Majesty to return, to which the
following answer had been given :
" ' I have charged my uncle, the Archduke John, to
replace me at the opening of the Diet of the empire.
.From this time the Diet is fully authorised to occupy
itself with its organisation. The responsible Ministers
who aro in the capital are invested with all the powers
connected with their functions. Until these laws are
arranged my presence is not necessary; but it is, above
all things, necessary that the Legislative Assembly be
n no way impeded in its freedom of action. I ( onsider

Z owe to my well beloved subjects this proof of solicitude.
If my hopes are realised, I shall immediately send to
Vienna my beloved brother, the Archduke Francis
Charles, in quality of my lieutenant, to replace the
Archduke John. I charge my. Ministry to communi-
cate this letter to the Diet.

(Signed) " ' FERDINAND. "

The Ministry, in consequence of this reply, sub-
mitted to the Assembly the following proposition,
which was carried :

"The High Assembly will please to decide on an ad-
dress explaining to his Majesty the urgent necessity for
his prompt return to the capital of the empire, adding
expressly that the free action of the constituted Assembly
is guaranteed under every circumstance."
This address was to be immediately sent to his MA-
JESTY by a deputation of the Assembly.
In the sitting of the Ist August a proposition to
constitute Cracow a separate Government was nega•
tived by a large majority.

HUNGARY.

The Breslauer Zeitung has letters from Pesth of
the 30th tilt. A courier arrived on that day from
Szegedin, and informed the Ministry that the Hun-
garian troops had stormed the "Roman encamp-
ments," and that they had entirely defeated the insur-
gents in that locality. No further details have as
yet transpired. A grand deputation from the
Hungarian Diet is on the point of leaving Pesth for
Innspruck, to desire the KING'S (Emperor's) imme-
diate residence in the former town. They are in-
structed to add, that if the KING should refuse to
comply with their request, the Hungarians would at
once crown the Archduke FRANCIS Josepu (son
of the Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES), who would
for the future reside at Pesth. The coronatior, of
the Archduke FRANCIS JOSEPH i 8 to be the same as
that of the present KING (Emperor), who was
crowned King of Hungary before the death of
FRANCIS I. It is stated that the coronation of the new
King does not affect the rights of sovereignty of the
old one, but the exercise of that sovereignty is con-
fined to his actual presence in Hunger). The Em-
peror of Austria would thus be King of HUNGARY
whenever he would choose to reside in that country,
but in his absence the new KING would be the only
legitimate Sovereign. This decided alternative is as-
serted to have been promoted by the hostile position
which the Cabinet at Vienna have of late assumed
with regard to Hungary.

should have a control over Li 1 ose contracts only which
amounted to 5004, and that they should not have a con-
trol, as proposed by thi Lords, over contracts which only
amounted to 1001.
Mr. HENLEY obj 3cte Ito the clause altogether. He
believed that the p,-opoied arrangement would cause
great inconvenience to ptrtics in country districts, by
compelling them to c ene up to London with their plans
and estimates. He shAill, therefore, move the omission
of the clause.
Mr. M. GIBSON said he did not think it would be
desirable to submit all the details of plans and estimates
to the general board.
Mr. MUNTZ thought the clauso ought to be re-
jected altogether. It epieared to him that the control
over contracts might to safely left to the ratepayers,
who would have to pay alt the expenses incurred under
the Bill. ra22
The Committee then divided, when there appeared—
For the clause
Against it 52
Majority against the clause
The clause was therefore struck out of the Bill. ,2:32`

Clause 127 having been put,
Lord MORPETH said that under the clause as it had
before passed in that House the accounts in corporate
towns were to be audited by the corporate body, and by
the poor-law auditors in towns which had no corpora-
tions. But by an amendment carried in the House of
Lords, the poor-law auditors would audit the accounts in
all cases. Now, it appeared to hien that in corporate
towns the proper auditor would be the auditor of the
corporation; and he therefore proposed that the amend-
ment of the Lords with respect to auditing the accounts
in those towns should be rejected.
The amendment in question was accordingly struck
out.

The remaining clauses were then gone through, some
verbal alterations baying been made in the Lords' amend-
ments.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved certain amend-
ments in clause 10.

The clause as amended was then agreed to.
The Lords' amendments were then brought up, some of
which were agreed to, and managers appointed to meet
their Lordships in conference as to the remainder.
MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.

A message from the Lords informed the house that
their Lordships had agreed to the following Bills:

amendment—West of England and South Wales Land

The tumultuous assemblages on the Linden are
continued every night. They have hitherto, however,
been dispersed without a serious collision.
In the sitting of the Prussian National Assembly
of the 4th August, the abolition of the punishment of
death, except for offences committed under the exist-
ence of martial law or of a state of siege, was decreed
by a majority of 294 to 37.
Accounts have been received at Berlin from
Schweidnitz, a garrison town in Silesia, south-west
of Breslau, of a serious conflict between the military
and people, during which the former fired upon the
latter, and killed or wounded some twelve or fifteen.
The particulars are not yet known.
Several cases of cholera have occurred at Berlin.

The Berlineae Nachrichten contains the following
announcement :
" The Minister of War has made known to the
royal troops the army order of the 29th of July last,
with the notification that the parade of the troops
will not take place on the 6th of August."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, AUGUST 2.—Letters from Trieste, of the
31st of July, state that the taking of Peschiera has
been confirmed by letters from Vienna. It is further
stated that the Crown Prince of SARDINIA, according
to others the second on of King CHARLES ALBERT,
the Duke of GENoA, who had been elected King of
SICILT, has keen taken prisoner by the Austrian
troops. CHARLES, after RADETZKT'S refusal of the
armistice desired by him, retired beyond the Oglio.

According to reports circulated to-day, Goito
and Brescia have also been taken by our troops.—
Hanzburgh Borsenhalle, August 4.
The Minister of War, in consequence of an auto-
graph letter, dated Inspruck, July 28, has issued the
following army order to the Imperial troops
" ARMY ORDER.
" His Majesty the Emperor, immediately after the-re-
ceipt of the intelligence of the splendid military achieve-
ments at Somma Campagn and Custozzo, i❑ Italy, was
pleased to forward to Field- Marshal Radetzky the fol-
lowing letters, in his own handwriting :
" 6 My dear Count Radetzky,—The splendid victories
of Somma Campagna and Custozzo have filled me with
astonishment and pleasure. I conceive that I cannot
give the gallant army in Italy a greater proof of my
consideration than to confer on you, their distinguished
csnamander, the grand cross of my military order of
Maria Theresa, the insignia of which I now forward to
you by my lieutenant-colonel, Count Creaneville.
" May this highest insignia of honour which a warrior
can wear long adorn your valiant breast, and may your
deeds of valour be an example to the Austrian army.

" ' Inspruck, July 2i, 1848.'
FERDINAND.'
" It affords me the highest gratification publicly to
make known to you this supreme mark of distinction
conferred upon our valiant brethren in arms, as well as
their veteran leader, Count Latour, Master of the Ord-
nance."
The Vienna Gazette of the lst has the following
" A day or two Since questions were put to the Mi-
nistry as to what steps had been taken to hasten the
return of the Emperor to the capital. The reply was,
that penetrated with the importance of it, they had sent
an address, praying his Majesty to return, to which the
following answer had been given :
" • I have charged my uncle, the Archduke John, to
replace me at the opening of the Diet of the empire.
From this time the Diet is fully authorised to occupy
itself with its organization. The responsible Ministers
who aro in the capital are invested with all the powers
connected with their functions. Until these laws are
arranged my presence is not necessary; but it is, above
all things, necessary that the Legislative Assembly be
nno way impeded in its freedom of action. I consider

CRICKET.

ELNVEN OP ALL ENGLAND V. FOURTEEN OF THE
COUNTY OF SURREY.—'Phis important match was com-
menced yesterday, at the Surrey Ground, Kennington-
oval, upon which nearly 5,000 spectators had assembled,
amongst whom there was a large number of the aristo-
cracy. There was alto no small number of the resi-
dents of the lower part of the county. A finer exhi-
bition of cricket was probably never seen than was
offered throughout the day. There were some good
hands made, Pilch, Parr, Clark, W. Pilch, and Box,
being conspicuous on the part of England, and Mr. Colt-
son and Martingell as the representatives of Surrey. At
the conclusion of the play for the day, the score stood
as follows:—England, lit innings, 129; Surrey, Ist
innings, 32.

AQUATICS.
GREENWICH REGATTA.
The facilities of reaching this popular place of summer
resort by rail and steamer, and anticipation of good
sport at the regatta, induced many hundred persons to avail
themselves of thu unusual fineness of the weather, yes-
terday, and journey in that direction. The regatta, one
of the best conducted in the lower tart of the Thames,
and under the patronage of the Dowager-Countess of
Buckinghamshire, Earl Fitzhardinge, Lord Alfred Paget,
Admiral Sir C. Adam, and others of tho nobility and
gentry. was iu five heats, with six free watermen of
Greenwich, for a new boat, and several other very liberal
prizes.
First Heat.

The distance extended the whole river frontage of the
town, rowed twice over each heat.

After rowing a considerable distaneo in this heat some
"roughs" got in the water, and held Groves's boat at the
time he was working very gallantly against Gillett, with
a very blight difference between them. The heat was
very properly started afresh, and, after a gallant contest,
won cleverly by Gillett, who had his work to do.

Secund Heat.

DENMAItK.

COPANUAGEN, AUG. 2.—BLOCKADE.—By an order
of the Minister of Marine the Elbe, the Weser, and
the Jande will be blockaded on the 15th August.
The continuation of the armistice leads us to hope
that arrangements for an amicable settlement may
still be in progress, but the result of which cannot
at this moment be easily foreseen. The war party
place all their hopes on the party spirit of individuals,
German Governments, and the weakness of Germany,
resulting from resistance to the central Power. A
frigate is this day to put out to sea. The Minister
of War returned on the Ist of August.
The Berlingsche Zeitung is of opinion that Kiel
is about to become a German war harbour—that four
gun• boats are being built there—and that every
exertion is made to bring the three Kiel steamers
now lying at Lubre to Kiel, for the purpose of equip-
ping them as war steamers.

FRANCE.

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of
last night] :
The Constitutionnel makes the following remarks
on the report of the Commission of Inquiry on the
affairs of June:—

" Several papers attack with excessive sharpness the
report of the Commission of Inquiry. Nothing in our
opinion can be more unjust than those attacks. No, the
report, as its detractors contend, is not a document dic-
tated by party passion; it is an act of duty. What, after
all, have the Commissien done? They have accom-
plished the arduous task allotted to them by the Assem
bly, and nothing more."
On the subject of intervention in Italy there is no-
thing new. If it be true, as is asserted that France
and England are agreed, we may have a pacific solu-
tion of the question, but there are other parties than
the Austrians and Lombardians and Piedmontese to
be satisfied, and hence some Misgiving for the issue
of the negotiation which will be attempted is enter-
tain ed .

TUSCANY.
The Tuscan 'Ministry resigned on the 30th ult.,
—in consequence of a popular demonstration. The
Chambers were discussing the expediency of a levy
en mane, which had been called for by the people.

RUSSIA.
The &forme published a letter from Courland,
dated 15th ult., stating that the Imperial Guard had
left St. Petersburgh, and occupied a camp within
three leagues of that capital.
" The guard," it says, "has not yet furnished any con-
tingent to the army of Poland. A corps of cavalry of
6,000 men has marched for the divisions of the army sta-
tioned along the Austrian and Prussian frontiers, which
stood in need of cavalry. There are three complete corps
- of army in Poland, each supplied with the necessary mate-
rial. A general is said to be charged with the organiza-
tion of 40 squadrons of cavalry-, which meat be formed
for the month of August, orders having been sent to the
.Hetman of the Cossacks of the Don to hold in readiness
a considerable body of Cossacks: the latter had offered
20,000 men mere than the Emperor required. There is
to be a' corps of army at Moscow and Twer,
several divisions of cavalry will be detached in the
military colonies. The guards will be increased to SO,OOO
men; the grenadiera alone amount to 40.000. Fiesh
conscations have taken place in Poland. The property
of Edmund Pozaeuski and his uncle, Joseph Grabouski,
in the government of Lublin, was lately sequestered,
those two gentlemen having been accused of circulating
revolutionary writings. They fortunately succeeded in
crossing; the frontier. Lieutenant-General Baron Frey-
tag, chief of the staff of the active army, and General
Radiger, had arrived at Warsaw, coming from St.
Petersburgh."
