GRAND SCULLER'S WAGER.

The aquatic circles are all on the qui vice. A splendid match
has been made for Monday, between two men whose very names
will guarantee a treat. Watts, who won the Sovereigns, given by
the Noblemen and Gentleman of Lyons's Club, last week, is to
row a sculler's wager against Godfrey. The former has been
beat by Campbell, the champion of the river ; and Noulton, the
next best man, was his victor by a few lengths only. Godfrey is a
powerful young man, who had the temerity, backed by a certain
Nobleman, to contest against Campbell last 3, ear ; but he was
"no use to him." Immense sums are being laid on the wager.
Watts is the favourite at sto 4. Some of those who won their
Money on him in Lyon's match, are giving 6 to 4, but there are
plenty of takers. All the crack boats will be out, and the distance,
from Westminster to Putney, will afford plenty of opportunity of
discovering who is the better man.

In the last three months 1,691 persons emigrated
From Cork to America.

" CORTES, OR THE FALL OF MEXICO."—" The
value of this work lies in its historical portraits, its sketches of
the events of the war, its pictures of Indian simplicity con-
trasted with the treachery of the Spanish conquerors, and its
life-like succession of incidents, which kindle as they advance,
until the whole arena is a scene of high dramatic action. Tho
tale, however, yields in interest to the historical facts of which

it forms the frame-work. There are scenes in it of great
truth and vigour, and some of the characters, especially that
of the beautiful and innocent Indian maiden, Telahualla, are
drawn with considerable power. If Dr. Bird gives all the ad-
vantage to the side of the natives he is warranted in doing 'so,
and we may add that he is as faithful to history as can be
fairly expected in a web so mingled."—Atlas.
THREE LIVES LOST.—On Monday week, two
young men of Newport, Monmouthshire, George Oliver, jun.,
and Thomas Pain, started with their boat for the purpose of
witnessing the regatta at Cardiff, taking with them a boy
named Driscoll. The wind in the morning blew hard,
W. S. W., when they were going down the river. At the time
of their entering the channel the wind shifted to W. N. W.
and they endeavoured to beat down in the direction of Penarth.
While reaching for the shore on the larboard tack, it is
thought a sea struck and swamped the boat. A person on
the tower of St Wellps' Church, aware of their danger,
marked and missed them opposite Peterson Church. Several -
boats have been down to the spot, and succeeded in raising the
boat, and used every means to recover-the bodies, but without
avail. They were all excellent swimmers,
