This was expected with great interest, and was one of the
races to be rowed down, but was undecided, and indeed,
never started. Mr. T. S. Egan, umpire in the race, re-
mained at Chiswick-cyot, after accompanying the last part
of the first and second heats up, to bring the last down;
and being then informed by the protesting crew against
the substitution of Chambers that his boat was disqualified
and not to row, waited for some time for a communication
from the committee, but receiving none, and finding that
there were no lines for the men to start from, deferred the
race until flit. (Wednesday) afternoon, at an hour before
high water, •to be rowed upwards from Putney. The New-
castle men and the Pride of the Thames ,crew are being
backed at large sums.

EXECUTION FOR MURDER AND ARSON.

The full penalty of the law was carried into effect yester-
day morning at 8 o'clock, at the Castle of Dorchester, on
James Seale, in the presence of a large concourse of people.
The wretched culprit was tried before Mr. Baron Channel'
at Dorchester, on the 24th ult., for the wilful murder of a
young woman, named Sarah Ann Grifly, at Stoke Abbotte,
on the 30th of April last, and also for having set fire to the
house in which this victim resided. The prisoner is a very
young man, not having reached his 20th year, and had been
working as a labourer for some time past in the vicinity. A
person named Seale, no relation, kept a house, known as
" Puckshorne House," a shcrt distance from Stoke Abbotts,
and with him lived a woman named Griffy and her illegit-
ma'e daughter, the deceased, who was aged 23 years. On
the day of the murder deceased remarked to her mother
that she had seen the prisoner lurking about the premises,
and she was afraid his intentions were not proper. In the
course of the day, when all the parties, who were farm la-
bourers, were at work, excepting deceased, the prisoner en-
tered the house, and after maltreating her, inflicted a most
fearful gash in her tbroee, nearly five inches long, with a
clasped cheese knife, on the hands, arms, and breast,
then set fire to the house. The fire was extin-
guished, and the deceased was found dead on the
floor of the room. The culprit being suspected,
search was made for him, and he was found walking up
a lane some distance from Puckshorne House, by a con-
stable named Lavender. He was charged with the murder,
and also with setting fire to the house, but he stoutly de-
nied having been connected with either, tt being then late
in the day, and he.sa!d he had not been there since nine iu
the morning. There were large splashes of blood on his
hands and clothes, and he bad evidently tried to con-
ceal it, by besmearing the spots with mud. He was
e
taken into custody, and sentenced to death on the
24th ult., the evidence clearly bringing home the guilt
to the culprit. Some exertions have been made to ob-
tain a commutation of the sentence, but Mr. Secretary
Walpole replied that, the whole circumstances having been
token into consideration, no just cause could be seen for the
alteration of his lordship's decision. Since the condemna-
tion of the unfortunate man he lies been visited regularly by
