TRADESMEN'S ROWING MATCH.

A number of highly-respectable tradesmen, many of
whom, indeed, might be termed gentlemen amateurs,
contended on Monday evening for two pair of silver
oars, the annual presentation of Mr. A. Wentzell, the
well-known boatbuilder and proprietor of the Ship, Fore-
street, Lambeth. The rowing was capital, and the match
excellently conducted, as usual, by Mr. C. Newnham.

First Heat:

Messrs. Lock and Dimes

„ Blincko and John Clayton (White) 2
Of Roden and King (Red) 0
Williamson and Sanderson (Pink) 0

White lost the start, but soon lay down to their work,
and mended their position; while, on the other hand,
pink were beaten off easily. In the heat of the race
dark blue and white fouled, which afforded red an op-
portunity of rounding the distance-boat first; but dark
blue and white soon came up to them hand over hand and
passed them. A fine race was continued to the end be-
tween the two first boots, which terminated in dark blue
winning by about a yard.
Second Heat.

Messrs. D. and C. Missing (Green) 1
„ Lamon and Stanley (Light blue) 2
„ James and Reid (Yellow) 0
Won with the most perfect ease
Final Heat.

Messrs. Blincko aed J. Clayton (White) 1
„ Lock and anit,s (Dark blue) 2
_ . . .

Lamon and Stanley (Light blue) 0

It was a beautiful race throughout. The two first boats
were oar and oar to the finish, when the winners put on
a masterly spurt, and went in a length ahead.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO LlVERFOOL.—Yesterday
morning the Mayor of Liverpool received a letter from Lord
John Russell, intimating that her Majesty the Queen intends
to visit Liverpool on the 9th of October next, whence she
purposes to proceed to Horsley Hall. In accordance with
the customary official routine, the Premier's letter will be
laid before the council at their meeting to-day, when it is
expected that additional workmen will be immediately or-
dered to assist in the preparation of St. George's Hall for the
reception and inspection of her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert. Great preparations are also making at
the Earl of Sefton's for her Majesty's reception, and the
various public buildings of interest in Liverpool are already
placed under the hands of renovators.
DEPARTURE OF MISS CATHERINE HAYES FOR
AMERICA.—To-day this popular songstress takes her depar-
ture for New York on board the United States steamer
Pacific, Captain Nye, accompanied by Miss Williams, a
singer of no mean celebrity and great compass of voice. A
concert, for the farewell benefit of Miss Hayes, took place at
the Theatre Royal, Liverpool, on Monday evening, when
the house was crowded in every part, and the popular fa-
vourite iras received most enthusiastically, bouquets and
garlands being showered upon the stage at the conclusion of
her song "Kathleen Mavourneen." Signor Sivori, who as-
sisted in the performances, was loudly applauded, as was
also Mr. Augustus Braham, who appeared upon the Liver-
pool boards for the first time. The latter gentleman was
twice encored.

We regret to announce the death of Major-General
Sir Henry Watson, Lnt., Colonel of the 15th Regiment,
which took place in town on the 31st ult. The deceased
officer entered the army as cornet in the 3d Dragoon Guards
in May, 1795. He served in the Peninsula, and was present
at the passage of the Douro and battle of :Oporto, capture of
Campo Mayor, siege •f Olivenca, actions of Los Santos and
Usagre, battles of Albuere. (in which he commanded a regi-
ment of Portuguese cavalry), Fuentes d'Ouor, and Sala-
manca, where he was severely wounded. At Toulouse he
commanded all the Portuguese cavalry. He became a
Major-General in 1838, was made Colonel of the 635
Regiment in 1847, and was removed to the 15th in No-
vember, 1850. By his death the colonelcy of the latter corps
is vacant. Sir Henry Watson had a gold medal for Salamanca,
and the silver war medal with two clasps for Albuera and
Toulouse.

FUNERAL OF LORD JOHN HAY, C.8.-DEVON-
PORT, MONDAY.—The remains of the Right Hon. Lord John
Hay, G. 8., aged 59, late superintendent of the Devonport
Dockyard, were removed from his official residence this
morning, to be conveyed on board her Majesty's steamer
Sprightly, lying in the jetty, and thence w Edinburgh, for
interment. Shortly after nine o'clock, the Royal Artillery,
the Royal Marines, 77th and 19th Regiments, marched into
the yard, preceded by their respective bands, and took up
their position in front of the official residence. The whole
body of the men employed in the yard were also drawn up in
a line, which extended from that place to the jetty. Shortly
after ten o'clock the procession was formed, headed by the
above-named regiments, the bands playing the " Dead
March," and proceeded in slow marching order to the place
of embarkation, the chief mourners being Lieut.-Col. Lord
John Hay and Sir Thomas Maitland, followed by the officers
of departments, naval and military. The procession had a
most imposing effect. The corpse was borne by sixteen men
selected from the crew of the admiral's yacht and barge, and
on reaching the steamer it was placed on board, and the
vessel immediately put to sea, minute guns being fired by
the Impregnable guard-ship, and eleven guns from the
Plymouth citadel as the steamer passed St. Nicolas's Island.
The body being now borne out of sight on the bosom of the
deep, the procession re-formed, and the several regiments
proceeded to their barracks; the men on the establishment
had a half-hol:day. The deceased was highly respected by
the officers and men of the yard, by whom the sad event is
deeply lamented.

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—The evening services at
Westminster Abbey terminated on Sunday last in the pre-
sence of an immense congregation, several hundreds being
unable to obtain admission owing to the vast numbers that
filled every space ellotted to the public. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. Lord John Thynne, the Sub Dean,
who briefly adverted to the termination of the series, and
the gratifying result which had crowned the efforts of the
Dean and Chapter to provide extra services in the church
during the present period of visiting and excitement. The
sermon was followed by Handel's sublime " Hallelujah
Chorus," finely executed by seventy voices, comprising the
usual choir of the church, several gentleman from St. Paul's
and the Temple, some members of the Purcell Club and the
Sacred Harmonic Society—all of whom have rendered their
services since the commencement in May last. A splendid
dinner, presided over by Lord John Thynne, given last night
by the Dean and Chapter in College-hall, to several dignita-
ries of the cathedral and the gentlemen who assisted in the
musical portion of these additional services, and at which
some excellent glees, under the direction of Professor Taylor
and Mr. Turle, were admirably sung by Messrs. Gray,
Barnby, Howe, Benson, and Bradbury, closed these inte-
resting proceedings.
NEWCASTLE AND NEW YORK, VIA HAMBURGH.—
A new channel of communication has been lately opened be-
tween the Tyne and the Hudson, large quantities of heavy
goods being now sent from Newcastle to Hamburgh, to be
thence taken by the emigrant vessels at very low freights to
the United States. We have heard of iron being taken at
as low a rate as two shillings per ton, but latterly it has cost
four shillings; and during the present week as much as a
hundred tons of lead have been taken in one of the steamers
from the Tyne to Hamburgh, to be cor,veyed thence to New
York at five shillings per tun. The freight thence to Ham-
burgh is ten shillings, thus making a total freight of
fifteen shillings per ton ; whereas the freight from the
Tyne direct to New York is about 20s. The reason of the
emigrant vessels taking these descriptions of goods at so low
rates of freight is, that they are thereby saved the heavy ex-
pense of Putting on board ballast in the Elbe, and discharg-
ing it in the States. The instance we have been quoting,
however, is not the only one of roundabout communication
between the Tyne and distant parts of the globe. New-
castle coals are taken to Calcutta, rid Amsterdam. the freight
from Newcastle to Amsterdam being about 7s. or Bs. per ton,
and from Amsterdam to Calcutta 108. or 11s., making a
total freight of 18s. or 19s. per ton. The reason is the same
in both cases, the expenses of ballast are not only saved, but
a freight (small though it be) is earned into the bargain.—
