DOPER, JULY 5.

MR.
HttsKrssoN and Mr. SPENCER SMITH were
yesterday presented with the Freedom of this
1"'1I, a custom which has always been observed
to Gentlemen offering themselves as Candidates.
The Freedom of the Corporation was at the same
time voted to Sir SIDNEY SMITH, to which his
splendid services to his Country, and his being a
Ilative of Dover, gave him an irresistible claim.
The Eldtion commences at twelve to-morrow,
and the friends of all parties are in high spirits,
and appear confident of success.

Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, six boats
started for the silver Cup and Cover given by the
Proprietors of Vauxhall Gardens. At first starting
but little difference appeared, until they reached the
Nine Elms, when the Mercury got up to thi, Produce,
and kept pace with her till they arrived opposite
Smith's Tea-gardens ; the Vixen then shot ahead,
and having the advantage of a full breeze (on wea-
thering the point), got up to Wandsworth, and won
the prize by about six boats length of the Mercury.
Had the contest been continued to 'Westminster, the
Mercury
would probably have won the Cup, by the
fine tack she made on her return. The other boats
were completely distanced.
