KET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The arrivals of English Wheat coastwise, as well as by land
carriage and sample, were small, consequently, the stands were
again scantily supplied. The attendance of buyers being limited,
the demand was by no means so inactive as on Monday, yet previous
rates were supported in every instance. In the Foreign Wheat—
the quantity of .which on offer was trilling—neat to nothing was
doing, at late rates. Bonded Grain was nominal in value.
There was rather more business doing in fine Barley, but
other kinds were on dull inquiry. The Malt trade was let

ROWING MATCH.—The smilers' contest, between
Thomas Cook, of Ilungerford, and Frederick Lett, of Lambeth, for
251 a-side, came off yesterday, but was a very hollow affair through-
out. The men contended about two years ago, when Lett was de-
clared the conqueror, but the race was se even throughout that the
friends of Cook determined to give him an opportunity of retrieving
his lost laurels, and the match of yesterday was accordingly deter-
mined on, the distance being from Battersea to Hammersmith-
bridge. Betting was sto 4 on Lett. The men made a beautiful
start, after one endeavour to get away. They centinued scull and
scull, or nearly so, anal both at good work, until off the Malt-house,
near Battersea Church, where Cook gradually showed in advance.
Ills opponent tried a rapid spurt to overhaul him, but in vain. Cook
gradually Improved his advantage, aml won by upwards of 150 yards.
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton has arrived in James-
street, Buckingham-gate, from the continent.

RATING OE THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COM-
PAWL—The effect of the late decision of the Court of Queen's Bench
on the appeal against the rating of this company in Tilehurat parish
has not been clearly stated. Ihe original appeal was against an as
scssment of .1,200/. per mile, and this was confirmed. The second'
appeal was against an assessment advanced to 1,5001. per mile, and
this was the case which went before the Court of Queen's Bench upon
the merits. Alter a lengthened hearing the Court reduced the assess-
ment, a hich was ealculated u'on the company's profits for 1843 to
1,3531. per mile, which amendment was made At the last Quarter
Sessions.—Berkshire Chronicle.
