SCULLERS' RACE FOR• £3O.

A very exciting scullers' race, for £l5 a-side, came off
yesterday, between Thomas Haywood, of Westminster,
and George Wade, of Ratcliff, from Putney to Mortlake.
Haywood has but lately come out, but has won two races,
while Wade, some years his senior, has been matched
against several celebrated men, including Finnis, Cannon,
and Walter Bell. He rowed two races against Finnis
who beat him each time; he also rowed Cannon twice,
and beat him twice; rowed well against others. Wade
trained at the Feathers, Wandsworth, Haywood at Kelly's,
Putney, and both were in good condition. The race was
rowed in old-fashioned boats, and Haywood won the choice
of stations, and took the Middlesex side. At starting he
drew himself more than clear, but Wade soon came up, and
then followed a very exciting race for a mile, Wade ever
and anon drawing up, but never leading. At the Crab
Tree, Haywood was well ahead, and after this he increased
his lead considerably, but Wade pulled very gallantly, fail-
ing, however, to alter the race, and Haywood won by 12
lengths. The Venus accompanied the race, and Mr. Sharp-
lin, the captain, was referee.

Parliament, he stated his belief that the substiantudhteed
Office, yet in one of the last speeches which made

ithat the
suitors would have a just right to complain if
in-
volving judicial discretion were determined by points
im
subordinate officers. Sir James took a distinguishedere Part
in the discussions which arose upon the various clauses
of the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act (1849), no
strongly but unsuccessfully opposed the classification of certi-
cates as a power which he thought ought not to be entrusted
to the Commissioners. Failing strength, however, pre-
vented the right hon. baronet from expressing any opinion
in respect to the Bankruptcy Act of the present year. The
services which he rendered to Chancery and other law re-
forms ought not to be forgotten, especially when it is remem-
bered that statesmen usually prefer the contests and victories
of party to the less exciting but more useful triumphs of
domestic legislatip,—Thq Vgzetto of &Wow/I*y, .
