SCULLERS' RACE FOR TEN POUNDS.
A very interesting scullers' match for the above amount
(a a-side) was rowed yesterday afternoon (notwithstand-
ing the state of the weather), between George Butler, of
Pimlico, and Henry Wallace, of Millbank—both men of
considerable pretensions as scullers. The distance Was
from Westminster-bridge to Battersea-bridge. Wallace
was the favourite, the odds of 6to 4 being laid. A referee
having been appointed, the men got to their stations, Wal-
lace winning the toss for choice. They got off beauti-
fully together at a clipping pace (in old fashioned boats),
and were scull-and-scull for 100 yards, when Butler began
to draw away from his opponent, and at the HorseferrY
was just drawing himself clear; in this position they re'
mained for a short distance, when Butler increased his lead
to about two lengths, and held it for almost a quarter of a
mile. Wallace then gradually stole upon his opponent,
and on nearing Pimlico-pier, was close upon him. Butler
again went away, for some 200 or-300 yards, when Wallace
drew up level again to crossing to Chelsea-bridge, when be
drew right ahead, and ultimately went in the winner by
four lengths.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

MANCHESTER—OcT. 28.

The attendance at our market this morning was slender,
and a most inanimate feeling was manifested. Fine white
wheat, being scarce, brought previous rates, but the de-
mand for other kinds was extremely limited, and, while the
best descriptions might have been obtained at a reduction
of is per qr., inferior sorts were unsaleable even at a greater
decline. There was no disposition shown to buy flour
millers and factors were generally offering at 6d per say
less, but the sales effected were so unimportant that prices
are little more than nominal. Oats and oatmeal a slow ease'
barely supporting the currency of this day se'nnight. Beane
and Indian corn again rather cheaper.
