SCULLERS' MATCH FOR 50 SOVS. ASIDE.
An excellent race took place this day between Thomas
White, of Bermondsey, and George Drouett, of Chelsea,
from Putney to Mortlake, for 50/. aside, and, in conse-
quence of the well-known celebrity of the men, great
interest was manifested, and a large number of spectators
assembled on board Citizen K, which was chartered for
the occasion. The betting was in favour of White, at
5 and 6 to 4, though this was his first appearance in a
match above bridge in outriggers. Drouett having twice
defeated the well known Thomas Day of Wandsworth,
and also rowed a most excellent race with Stephen
Salter, which he lost through a foul.
The start took place at 20 minutes past 4, and White
gradually drew a little in advance, obtaining a l.ad of
about a length at the Crab Tree, both rowing in first-
rate style. On nearing Hammersmith-bridge, but little
difference was observable ; but from thence to the finish
at Mortlake, White gained a little, winning the race by
about three boats' length.

The time to Hammersmith-bridge was 10 minutes,
Barnes'-bridge 21 minutes, and the whole distance 24i
minutes.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.)
The LORD CLIANORLLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at 5 o'clock.
Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition from
Clerkenwe 1, praying for an equalization of the poor rates
THE CAGLIARI.
The Noses LORD then said he wished to call the atten-
tion of the house to a publication lately issued by the
Neapolitan Government. It related to the capture of
the Cagliari steamer, and the detention of two of our
fellow subjects. The law was laid down by the noble
viscount lately at the head of the Government.
He stated that the captain of the Cagliari
had voluntarily conducted the vessel into the
Neapolitan waters, in that case he (Lord Palmerston)
would rot be justified in interfering in favour of the two
British subjects before the case am investigated by the
Neapolitan authorities. But if the vessel were taken
by superior force outside the Neapolitan waters, then
the British Government were entitled to d.-and the
instant release of the two men. He (Lord Lyndhurst)
had no doubt that that was the opinion of the
law officers of the Crown. The document in
question, which bad lately beenissued by the Nea
politan Government, stated that the seizure had been
effected by two frigates on the high seas, and by them
brought into Neapolitan waters. (Hear, hear.) Upon
that statement we had a perfect right to demand the
instant liberation of our countrymen. He did not in-
tend to put any question to the Government on the
subject, but he was perfectly willing to leave to them to
determine, owing to the time that had elapsed since the
capture had been effected. He merely tlirecO dot these
observations for their consideration.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said before he made
any remark be begged it to be distinctly understood,
that up to the 26th of last month her Majesty's
present Government were not responsible for the acts
of the late Ministry or the Sardinian Government.
Before he made any observations on the remarks of '
the noble and learned lard, it would ba as well
to state how the vessel was captured. The noble lord
here detailed the facts relative to the seizure of
the vessel, and then proceeded to say that
since her Majesty's present ministers had come into
officesome papers bad been produced which justified them
in adopting measures to refer the matteragain to the law
officers of the Crown, whose report would be laid before
the house as speedily as possible, together with all the
documents to which reference had been made. Tee
noble earl, in conclusion, said the house might
rest assured that the Government would not relax
the slightest in their endeavours to relieve the two men
from the cruelty of confinement.
