The various Prizes given by GEORGE HENRY
R.OSEEJEsq. were sailed for by fifteen Cutters, on the
Southampton Waters, op Saturday last. The vessels
being all at single anchor, started exa&ly at eleven
o'clock on a signal beii'g fired from the Rose Re-
venue Cutter. The distance was about ten leagues,
the Cutters sailing twice round a stationed vessel at
the upper end of the River, and also round another
below Cad/and. The weather' proved exceedingly
favourable, the wind bloWing fresh.at W. N. W.
The Sally, ROBERT,CHAPMAN, was the first that
went round the upper station, and the Part, Roil Ear
• Gli.ss, tht second ; but it coming on to blow a
stiff gale soon after, the Sally, from a press of main..
"ail, carried away her boom. The turning up of the
seytral Cutters, the last time, against a strong
Wind, and ebb tide, exhibited an interesting
scene
Znod seamanship. The contest in the last two
'e4ittea lay between the Tv. Brothers, CHARLES
