COURT CIRCULAR.

BA I.MORAL, SATURDAY.—Her Majesty and his
Royal Ilighness started at nine o'clock this morning.
to accomplish the feat of ascending to the top of

This evening the Duke and Duchess of Leeds and
Miss Lane Fox, Sir Alexander and Lady Duff, and
Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson, of Invercauld, will join
the royal dinner party.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The St. Leger settling was resumed yesterday after-
noon, but without in the slightest degree improving the
position of those who had much reason to complain at
Doncaster. Nothing was forthcoming from Captain
P***t, from the " Boy Jones," or from the Irish solicitor
(Mr. B***t), nor was anything heard of Mr. C****tt,
who, it appears, was in the subscription-room for a short
time in th© morning after the race, but has since been
" wanting" for a large amount. As we have before ob-
served, a worse settling was never known, The betting
was barely sufficient to warrant a quotation.

AQUATICS.

GREAT ROWING MATCH FOR £lOO AND THE
CHAMPIONSHIP OF GRAVESEND.

Yesterday the match between John Dewardt and
Gerrard Cooper, the rival champions of Gravesend,
which has excited the greatest interest in the aquatic
world, both above and below bridge, came off, and such
was the excitement of the speculators on the event, that
no less than three steamers (the Vesper, the Waterman
No. 3, and the Diamond packet, the first-named starting
from Greenwich, the second from Woolwich, and the
latter from London, expressly for the occasion) were
nhartered to accompany the race. At Gravesend, before
tine in the morning, the Town and Terrace Piers were
besieged by applicants for places on board the various
steamers, and the betting and business-like bustle, at-
tended with the most anxious looks and inquiries rela-
tive to the men, their condition, &c., produced a scene of
the most lively description.
It will be in the recollection of many of our readers
that after the east and west-end regattas at Gravesend
last year, at either of which Cooper and Dewardt proved
the champions, a challenge was given and taken, and a
match of six miles and a quarter resulted between the
two men, which, after one of the severest trials of skill
and game upon record, was decided in favour of Dewardt.
Cooper and his friends not being satisfied with the result
of last year's race, determined upon the present match,
and having thrown down the gauntlet, preliminaries
were arranged, and 501. aside deposited for the contest
wo are now about to record, the distance being from
Northfleet Creek to Cliffe Creek, Gravesend (a similar
course).
Both men had for some time been in active training,
Dewardt under Robins, of Horselydown; and his oppo-
nent with Forrest, of Greenwich, and they were cer-
tainly brought into the finest possible condition. Betting
was extremely brisk, at 5 and 6 to 4 on Dewardt.
On the former occasion covered ran-dan boats were
used by the men, but on the present outrigger wager
boats were expressly constructed for the men, a trifle
larger than those in use above bridge, and which were
certainly elegant patterns of the modern school. Cooper
took his station on the north or Essex side of the centre
of the river, Dewardt being outside. All being in readi-
ness, the loaded steamers holding on by various moored
craft, with their freight of friends of either party san-
guine of success, sporting red flags for Dewardt and
green for Cooper, the men, after a false start, got
away at twelves minutes past ten, Cooper having the
advantage of nearly half a boat's length. Their speed
was first-rate, and after a few strokes Dewardt, as
soon as he got well to work, became scull and scull
with his antagonist. For a short time the excitement
was extreme, but it was soon apparent that victory
would, in all probability, again crown Dewart's efforts,
who now drew clear of Cooper, and off Rosherville
was a boat's length in advance, and took his adversary's
water. Cooper made the most desperate but unavailing
efforts to overhaul his opponent. Dewardt gradually
increased his advantage, and off Gravesend was lour
lcngths in advance. Cooper here appeared to consider
his chance hopeless, and after another spurt, attended
with no better success than the former, gave up near
Coal House Point, and was taken on board the Vesper
steamer. Dewardt, who rowed steadily throughout,
passed the flag-staff of Cliffe Creek at ten minutes to
eleven o'clock, completing the distance under thirty-
eight minutes. The winner rowed in a boat built by A.
Wentzell.

CRICKET.

THE ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. TWENTY.TWO

OF DARLINGTON.

On Saturday the match was renewed, and the length-
ened contest terminated by a victory on the part of
the Darlington Twenty-two; the scores respectively
standing thus:—All England, first innings, 44; second
ditto, 79; the Darlington Twenty-two, first innings, 57;
second innings, GS ; Darlington winning with eight
wickets to spare.
THE SURREY CLUB v. THE STREATHAM CLUB.
This match was played yesterday at the Oval, when
there was a vast amount of first-rate science exhibited.
The Surrey went in to open the contest, and, as will be
seen, ran up a score of 154. So good was the bowling
of the Streatham in the early part of the game, that for
an hour and a half Lot more than 18 runs could be ob-
tained. When th© stumps were drawn for the day the
score stood as follows:
