BOAT RACE ON THE TYNE.---A boat race equaling
in interest that which recently took place between J. Tay-
lor and J. Bright, came off on the Tyne yesterday. Bright
was again a competitor, and pulled against G. Carr, a pro-
mising Tyneside oarsman. The stakes were £5O aside,
and the stretch was upwards of 2} miles—from the High
Level at Newcastle to the Meadows House. The agree-
ment was that the men row in open boats, in the manage-
ment of which both aro knows to be adepts. Carr has
already pulled several successful matches in these boats,
and since Bright's defeat by Taylor the odds have risen
considerably in his favour. For some dad s back he has
been readily backed as the favourite, and on Saturday
night 6 and 7 to 4 were freely offered upon him. Harry
Clasper was referee, and the umpires were--For Carr, John
Adams ; for Bright, H. Nichol. Bright won by 5 lengths.
Ma. GLADSTONE AT ST. PETER'S.—The following
letter appears in the Unita Cattolica of Dec. 18 :--
" Mr. Editor of no (7aita Cattaiica,—Your Roman corres-
pondent's letter, dated Dec. 8, inserted in your issue of the
11th inst., speaking of the ovation received by the Pope in

the Piazza of the Holy Apostles on the evening of Dec. 7,
says, 'lt is a pity that Lord Gladstone was not at Rome
yesterday evening.' Know, then, that 1 myself accom-
panied Mr. Gladstone to our coretto, which commands th•
Presbytery of the Church of the Holy Apostles ; and he,
beholding the magnificent temple, most richly ornamented,
and crowded with people, and the vast presbytery filled
with cardinals and other exalted personages, and the Chief
Pontiff in his robes singing the To Down, said to me,
Come sono beato di vedero queste grandi cose !' (How
blessed am Ito see these grand things !) After the bene-
diction he was led to the gallery of the apartment of Car-
dinal Panebianco, which commands all the immense
pia

.zza, and thence witnessed and felt the ovation to the
Pope.-1 am, with esteem, your most humble servant, Fr.
Gio ANTONIO BONELLI, Miu cony Parochus SS. Apostoli.
LORD LITTON'S " LADY OF LYONS.”—It may
ho observed generally of Lord Lytton's play that, although
the more bigoted worshippers of the past are apt to look
down upon it as a comparatively trivial production it is
a piece which, the inure it is seriously studied, presents
the more apparent claims to commendation. Among its
merits is the clearness with which the characters are
drawn. From Pauline and Claude Melnotte, on whom the
interest of the story depends, down to poor Deschappelles,
who is as insignificant in the eyes of the atrlience as he is
in those of his own wife, the personages all remain true to
themselves from the beginning to the end of the play.

HARE HUNTING EXTRAORDINARY IN KENT.—
On Monday, Dec. 24, the Herne harriers met at Eddington,
at Mr. John Bushell's, the well-known malster. After a
sharp run the hounds found the third hare on Burton Downs,
where she took a turn to the cliff, came back over the Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover Railway, by Eddington, Under-
down Farm, Green-hill, Hampton, down the cliff, through
the brick-yard to St. Goorge's-terrace, where she jumped
on the roof of a house, and lay on the pavement for a
moment apparently stunned ; she then started off down
the Herne Bay Pier, which is t hree-quarters of a mile in
length, leaped over the end of it, and was picked out of
the water alive, and given into tho hands of the hunts-
men, who afterwards adjourned to the Pier Hotel,
thoroughly pleased with their day's sport.
