staircase is a spirited group in plaster by a Nowessti,
artist, termed the Battle o: the Standard, having refer-
ence to one of the numerous border forays of the period
to which it refers. On the first landing of the staircase
is an excellent liloness of the late Duke in his peer's robes.
Passing through the library front, and turning to the
left, along an avenue of magnificent chesnnts and cedars,
we reach the gardens and, conservatories the
latter form a long semi-circular range of buildings with
a lofty central gluts dome, in which palms, breadfruit
trees, and other tropical productions, are growing in all
.their native luxuriance. In front is a large circular
.fountain,
„and the beds of flowers around are
tastefully "tMd artistically arranged, although few of
their beauties are yet developed. In another part of the
grounds are the forcing and hothouses, one compartment
of which is entirely devoted to the Victoria Regis lily,
'of which there are a number of fine specimens in dif-
ferent stages of growth. The water is kept at a high
temperature, and by means of machinfry is kept in con-
L..a.tant motion, to imitate the currents of the .great
South American rivers, in which it was originally
discovered. There is also an American garden and
many other objects of interest which we must pass
over, and return by a winding walk along the orna-
mental water to the house. The mansion and grounds
will, we doubt not, be one of the most fashionable, as
we are satisfied it will prove ono of the most attractive,
suburban drives during the summer; and wo feel much
gratification in recording this characteristic instance of
liberality and good feeling cn the part of the noble head
of the House of Northumherland, in the hope that it
may induce otbers-of our aristoeracy to contribute some-
thing to the- .ansysement anel enjoyment of the many
strangers who will.: 'Visit our shores during the piesent

hike was a competitor for the championship against
Charles Campb4l, who had long held it. In the first of
these matches, from Westminster to Putney, thirteen
/
years ago, he was defeated without standing a shadow of
chauffiet- kW after a succession of struggles attended with
better success he renewed his claim to the title, and after
an interval of something like eight years rowed and de-
feated Charles Campbell with about the same ease as the
other bad previously vanquished him. Robert Newell,
a capital scalier and burly game fellow, has thrice tried,
but in vain, to pluck the laurels from his brow; the re-
nowned Henry Claspei, the hero and champion of the
Tyne, threw down the gauntlet, but was worsted by the
champion, who.had been and still is iuvincible. Of,blims-
kinney much less can be said, 48 he has neither been so
1,,,1w tabst. nor distinguished himself in the same TOSE-
ner, as his antagonist. His great debit was in ISA as
the winner of Mr. Evan Morris's cost and badge, at, the
Thames Regatta. He subsequently exhibited much
game and stamina, defeated Tnomas Coombes, and in
the. schllers' contest at the Thames boat-races lastiesson

pieeship yesterday.
The weather was most agreeable and congenial for
such sport. A lovely and seasonable change had come
o'er toe ecene trem the previous day. The South-
Western hallway and steam-hints were literally bee
sieged, and at Putney, Hamrneramith, and every part of
the shore or river in the course, presented thousands upon
thousands of spt cators.
The Citizen J, on—baiifd-itirwhich there were many
continental visitors, the Cnilde Harold, the Locomotive,
and the Fe•ho eteimers, were all crowded with Com-
piny ; and the Leander (eight), the Westminster
Scholars, the Thames. and other celebrated aquatic
clubs, with every desctipdon of boat, were put into re-
quisition; and a more interesting or animated scene, as
the hour for the contest approached, it would be difficult
to describe.
At a quarter to six the rival candidates moved towards
Putney-bridge to row a clear right away wager to Mort-
lake (nearly opposite the Ship). Both looked full of
confidence and health; and although Mackinney had the
great advantage of being 12 years mud a few months the
younger, and nearly three parts of a stone the heavier
mu, Coombes was backed freely at 5 aad 6 to 4; and a
eery large amount was laid out at that price, the takers
being extremely eager.
Mr. E. Searle, of the firm of Searle and Sons, having
taken his place in the head of the Locomotive, which
had been roped off, so that he might be appealed to
without hindrance by the partisans on either aide, pre-
parations were made for the start, the steamers and
other boats so arranging themselves as not in any way
to impede the course. Coombra took his station on
the Middlesex stile of the centre arch of Putney-bridge.
his opponent being on the Surrey aide. At twelve and
a half minutes past six o'clock a capital start was
effected, and Mackinney immediately began to show
the stem of his bout slightly in front, and up to op-
posite Messrs. Searle's premises might be said to have
retained precisely the same lead, as though stationary.
From this place, amidst deafening shouts from all
aid, a, Mackinney forced his pace so as to get his boat
completely clear of his adversary; but ho was not long
allowed to enjoy " the pride of place." The pace on
both sides was killing, and it was obvious that one
or the other must soon give way. On nearing Cra-
ven Cottage the renowned Champion put on a spirt
which in a dozen strokes changed the aspect of things,
and ilaced his boat's nose a couple of feet in front.
Mackinney applied himself again to his work with ei en
icert aced power; but he held his slight teed only for a
moment, for in the next Coombes again " put on the
steam" to such a tune as to show his more youthful ad-
Verehl y that he wy.s hail:ell:1,-. The heat of the t ontest
might now have been eonsidered partially abated, but
the courage tio.playee by biackinney, and his repeated
attempts to regain his lost position, must have been most
satisfactory— more so, indeed, than his style, which was
embarrassed and far inferior to his opponent's, which,
indeed, might fairly be considered as the fine,t develop-
taint of the art of rowing ever witnessed. All Mackin-
ney 's efforts, plucky as they certainly were, were una-
vailing. Coon boa went through Eleminrrsmith-bridge
two clear lengthy a head, increased it gradually, and won
by a dcrz a or mote lengths —thus retaining his title of
champion of the Thames and Tyne, besides the valuable
consideration of 400/ staktie, Too time occupied by the

the ingenuity 'ngenuity and skill of our British weavers. They

should produce the finest black cloth, and the finest
black doeskin of British mauutacture, with this limita-
tion only, that they should be wool dyed, possess
strength of fabric and excellence of finish, and be con-
fined to no particular price. Considering that our foreign
trade in woollen cloths has greatly declined within
the last few y, ars in consequence of the French and
Germans having taken the lead of the English manu-
facturers in the American and Russian markets, the
result of the competition thus engendered was looked
forward to with considerable interest. The contest, it
was generally admitted, would rest with the manufac-
turers_ of the West of England and Yorkshire. An 74
