AQUATICS.

PRISM'S AND KIPPIN was one of the matches re-
sulting out of the subscription scullers' wager of this year.
Kipping. and Phelps had afterwards rowed a match, in which
George Campbell and Coombes were entered, but Phelps
picked his man up, and Coombes and Campbell of course
went away from them. Coombes was then pitted against
Kipping. The latter defeated him, but the match had been
got up with the understanding that Phelps should take the
conqueror. He did so yesterday, and although the match
was got up without judgment as to the respective merits of
the man, yet Kipping yesterday did more than possibly could
have been imagined of him. Phelps was the favourite at 7to
4, and in some instances 2 to 1, but there were but few takers.
Phelps took the No. 3 station at Westminster Bridge, and his
opponent was at No. 7. The signal was given and they were
off together, but at the Speaker's House Phelps was a-head.
Kipping rowed desperately and gained slightly, but at Vaux-
hall Phelps was as fresh as at starting, and so he continued
to Putney, when he won by forty seconds. Kipping worked
hard, bat he had no chance against Phelps. The latter is a
fine slashing man : he can beat Paddy Noulton if they give him
an opportunity, and will one day aspire to the championship.

INTOXICATION.—Between one and two eclock on
Sunday afternoon a very decently-dressed young man, very
much intoxicated, was observed staggering along Brook-street,
New-road, when presently his foot tripped against a projecting
portion .of the pavement, and he fell back with great force
into tlire carriage-way. On some persons who witnessed the
accident running to his assistance and raising him up, a copious
stream of blood was found issuing from a wound underneath
his ribk, just above the hip, and which it appears had been
caused by his falling on the blade of a large table knife,
which, in his drunkenness, he had heedlessly put into his coat
pocket. The wound penetrated to the depth of between
three and four inches. He was instantly conveyed by the
police to the North London Hospital, where he remains in a
most dangerous state. His name is James Brown, a mechanic.
He had been out drinking with some of his companions during
church time, and was returning home to his wife and family.
