AQUATICS.

PAIR-OARED RACE FOR SILVER OARS AND
RUDDER.

A very gamely-contested pair-oared race was rowed yes-
terday for the above prizes, over the course between Batter-
sea and Wandsworth-meadows. The following were the
results :
Blue

1
Mr. Kennett. . I Mr. Spencer.
A. Smith, coxswain.

Red
Mr. Greenfell. 1 Mr. Mitchell.
C. Thompson, coxswain.

White
Mr. Sutherland. Mr. Franklin.
T. Hayward, coxswain.
White won the draw for choice of station, and took the
Middlesex side. Blue were the favourites at starting, the
odds of 5 and 6 to 4 being laid pretty freely.
The umpires and a referee having been appointed, they
got off very evenly together at a clipping pace, and in that
position continued rowing to Cremorne Gardens, where Red,
by extraordinary rowing, drew their stern setting thawl
level with the nose of Blue's boat, and at Kensington-creek
were a clear length and a half ahead, Blue heading White
by about three quarters of a length, where they continued
only for a few pulls, White again becoming nearly level
with them, Red having a clear lead of four lengths at the
White Hart. The weather was very showery, and the water
in some parts too lumpy for light wager boats, the wind
blowing a "dead noser" down the reach but they rowed
very gallantly through it. Blue then gradually stole upon
Red, and after a close and interesting race, succeeded in
wresting the lead from them, and drew their boat two clear
lengths in advance, and seemed to be going away from their
opponents, who, however, rowed a fine stern race for the
remainder of the distance, Blue only defeating them by a
length and a half. White rowed very gallantly, but never
stood a chance of overhauling their opponents after they had
passed Wandsworth-pier.

TREATY WITH JAPAN.

(From a Supplement to Tuesdays Gazette.)
BY TIIE QUEEN—A PROCLAMATION.

VICTORIA, R.—Whereas, in and by the Treaty of Peace,
Friendship, and Commerce, agreed upon and concluded bo-
Us and His Majesty the Tycoon of Japan, and signed on
the twenty-sixth day of August last., it is (amongst other
things) stipulated and agreed, that there shall be
perpetual peace and friendship between Us and
His said Majesty; that certain Ports and Towns
therein mentioned, in the Dominions of His said
Majesty, shall be opened to British subjects at the respec-
tive dates therein also mentioned (the earliest of such dates,
as to the orts of Hakodadi, and Kanagawa, and Nagasaki,
being the first day of July, in the year of our Lord, ono
thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine) ; and it is thereby
further stipulated, that the Articles for the regulation of
Trade, which are appended to the said Treaty, shall be
considered as forming a part of the same, and shall be
equally binding on both the contracting parties to the
said Treaty, and on their subjects; and whereas, until
the ratification of the said Treaty (of which due notice will
be given), the existing laws and regulations of Japan re-
main in full force; and British subjects are thereby inter-
dicted, under severe penalties, from all trade and inter-
course with Japan, otherwise than in strict accordance
w Ali such laws and regulations; and whereas we have
been given to understand, that divers persons, being
British subjects, have despatched, or are preparing to de-
spatch, to Japan certain ships and vessels, which ships
and vessels are appointed or intended to proceed to,
and to trade, or endeavour to trade with, and to
hold intercourse with Japan, contrary to, and in violation
of, the existing laws and regulations of Japan, and before
the Ratification of the said Treaty, and otherwise in con-
travention of the said Treaty, if the same shall be hereafter
ratified ; and whereas all attempts to violate the said laws
and regulations before the" Ratification of the said Treaty,
and all attempts to contravene or violate the stipulations
thereof, after its Ratification, will tend seriously to frustrate
and will greatly endanger the success of our attempts to esta-
blish and maintain friendly relat ions and promote commercial
intercourse with his said Majesty the Tycoon of Japan, and
his subjects, and will be in derogation of the laws and usages
of nations, and will prove highly prejudicial to our dignity
and good faith, no less than to the rights and interests of
all our loving subjects, and will tend to the perpetration of
seriouscrimes and offences, and will be of great public dan-
ger and detriment : We have therefore thought fit to, issuo
this our Royal Proclamation, hereby warning all our loving
subjects, that all such enterprises and practices hereinbefore
mentioned, are and will be carried on and committed in viola-
tion of the laws ofJ apan, and in contravention of the provisions
of the said Treaty, if and when the same shall be ratified,
and that we will not in any manner whatsoever inter:ere
to prevent the forfeiture of any ships, or vessels, or goods,
which may be employed in such enterprises or practices, or
the infliction of pecuniary penalties or fines upon any per-
sonse engaged therein ; and we do hereby further mhave
ak
known to all our loving subjects,
that instructions have
in
been given to the Commanders of our Ships of
the ports of Japan, and in the waters
to assist and support by all lawful means,nearthe same,
his said
Majesty the Tycoon of Japan and his Government,
in preventing any violation, evasion, or contraven-
tion
by British subjects, of the laws of Japan, or of the pro-
visions of the said Treaty, or
lawful of the Articles for the
ulltneiguleanas-,
Lion of Trade appended thereto,
if and when the same shall
be ratified, and to prevent and hinder, by
any attempt whatsoever
by British subjects to violate or
evade, in any manner hat
sorivor, the laws of Japan,
within any of the dominions of his said Majesty the Tycoon
of Japan, or to contravene, in any manner whatsoever, any
of the provisions of the said Treaty, or of the said Articles,
if and when the same shall be ratified.
Given at our Court, at Buckingham Palace, this 2d day
of February, in the year of our Lord, 1859, in the 22d
year of our reign.
