THE ARGON MIL'S' CU ER-MATCH.

The boat-race last evening, amongst the members of this highly
respectable club, for silver oars and a rudder, was one of the most
dashing and spirited of the whole season. The distance was from
Vauxhall to Putney bridge

White 1.--Messrs. Butterfield, Rea, J. T. West, and L. T. Strut-
's)n —I. Reynolds, coxswain.

Red 2.--Messrs. 11. S. Edward, C. Baker, S. Bradley, and E. M.
Gifford—K. R. Marshall, cockswain.
Yellow 3.—Messrs. J. C. Purves, H. Keene, James Butterfield, and
Joseph Butterfield -J. B.Johnsou, cockswain.
Light Blue 4. Messrs. C.' Reeve, W. H. M`Dermott, E. Grimston,
and G. M. Innes—C. Godby, cockswain.

Dark Blite.—Messrs. J. F. Showbrldge, G. Gear, H. E. Smith, and
R. E. Cundy—J. Duplan, cockswain.
The start took place at about a quarter to seven. They all went
away well together, and at a very rattling speed. After a few strokes,
Yellow showed a slight lead, all the rest being in a cluster. White
and Red then made play, and having challenged Yellow, the latter
fell into the third place for a moment, and were then displaced by
Light Blue, but the whole of the boats continued very near to ea At
other. Yellow, however, was not so easily disposed of, and off the
Red House had a dashing spurt with Light Blue, whose No. 2 had
snapped his stretcher. A smart race between the first and second
boats, won by half a length only ; the third boat a length astern of
the second. The match was well attended.

CAUTION.—A correspondent states that it may not be
generally known that a law is still unrepealed, which was
passed very many years since, fur the protection of the brass
button trade, and which makes it a fineable offence to manu-
facture buttons of silk, cloth, &c. Taking advantage of this
Act, a person has been hard at work endeavouring to extort
money by threats of action. Amongst others, he has called
upon the Messrs. Nicoll, both in Regent-street and Cornhill,
who are most extensive manufacturers of buttons, covered
with Llama cloth, for their registered Paletot, and whom, if
liable, are so to an enormous extent. The Messrs. Nicoll
have, however, expressed their determination to resist to the
uttermost, and thus put the question at rest, should the
movers in it carry out their threats.
EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT BERMONDSEY.—Last
night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a very extensive fire broke
out in the premises belonging to Messrs. Ilayly and Son, sail-manu-
facturers. at Bermondsey-wall. The discovery was made by Ser-
geant Middleton, of the M division. An unusual glare of light, in
the upper floor of the building, convinced the officer that the place
was on tire, and not many minutes elapsed before the flames shot
through every window, and for nearly an hour the reflection of
the conflagration could be seen from the most distant pans of
the metropolis. Engines from the London establishment, with
Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent; the West of England, with
Connorton • as well as the parish engines, arrived in quick suc-
cession. The fire, however, had assumed a most alarming aspect,
for not only were the whole range of premises where it com-
menced completely enveloped, but a spacious wooden bridge, ex-
tending across the street, was also blazing away with gre .t
fury. At first it was feared that the contiguous grana-
ries of -Messrs. Begbie and Co., and Messrs. Somers, would have also
fallen a prey to the flames. The water ClUlll the mains in
.e.— manequate to feed the whole of the engines; the
powerftil float from notherhithe was, therefore, moored up, and set
to work. The premises abutting upon the river the firemen were
enabled to discharge copious streams from the float into tile midst of
the flames, and with the assistance of the land engines, the fire was
subdued by one o'clock. By that hour Messrs Ilayly's front build-
ing was nearly gutted, and the adjoining premises severely damaged.
The origin of the Are could not be as .ertained. The police, under
Inspector Frond, had a most difficult task to perform, in keeping the
many thousand spectators out of the reach of danger.
CAUTION TO LADIES.—We have received the follow-
ing statement from a lady who is well known to us, and on whose
veracity we have the. fullest reliance:—Having occasion, one day
during the past week, to purchase a parasol, she went into one of the
large drapery establishments in St. Paul's Churchyard. ,%weral ar-
ticles of this kiad were shown her. Site parch tsed one, and pro-
ceeded down Ludgate-hill, when. to her great dismay. site found one
of the linendraper's most expensive parasols dangling fn an the chats
of her watch, and partially covered by her shawl. It was evident
that the hook of the parasol had accidentally got entangled in the
chain while standing at the counter. She at once hastily returned
to the shop and gave back the article. Fortunately it had not been
missed, and, as far as this transaction is concerned, the matter ended.
But suppose this expensive article had been missed, and the lady fol-
lowed, and, as mutt have been the case, the property found on her
person, no evidence could have been adduced by her to rebut the
charge of felony. It would have been sufficient fir the prosecutor to
have sworn that this particular article was his, and had been ex-
hibited for sale to the lady in question, and found wanting when slit
left the shop to have justified a conviction. One can hardly contem-
plate the extent of misery that this charge, even to say nothing Of
ccinfictiori, lyonid inflict on a respectable family; and we give pub-
licity to the circumstance, by way of caution to our Pair reade Q on
the one hand, but more particularly to show that a train of cl rr
stances, however apparently conclusive, arecum-
implicitly relied on.—Times. not at all times to be

and extreme unotion was forthwith adminNe ad to hint in the am-

fact, that Montes, who, besides the extreme popularity he has ac-
quired as a torero, is universally esteemed for his sterling private
qualities, retired from the bull-ring two years ago, but was prevailed
upon, much against his will, to exhibit his prowess before the French
Frit-secs f$ 4ugust ; ar,d once more Yl.dir'g to
the enthutslastic prayers of hia admirers, he has, I fear, fallen a
victim to his good nature In the eleventh hour. Poor fellow! On
entering the circus this morning, he said to
an acquaintance, My
joints feel rather rusty,' thereby intimating that he was out of train-
ing. Besides his celebrity as a torero, Montes has likewise distin-
