AQUATICS.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £6O.
A capital scullers' race far the above amount (30& a
side) came off ye:-..terday, over the usual above•bridge
course, from Putney Aqueduct-bridge to the Ship at
Mortlake. Pile competitors were both below-bridge
men, ';z., 'Tames Finnis, of Wapping, and George Wade) of Stone-;tairs, Ratcliff-highway, and have both dont a
great steal, Finials especially, who rowed his present
opponent last year below bridge, and went right away
fr,,m him ; it being supposed that Wade was not well
at the time this present match was mad',, The Venue,
Capt. Sharplm, accompanied the and was quite
full, all the spectators appearing to be below-bridge men.
Thomas Day having been chosen umpire for Finnis,
Mr. Salter for Wade, and Piarry Kelly, the champion
of the Thames, referee, tthe men got to their stations,
Finnis winning the toss, They got off beautifully toge-
ther at a clipping pavi (in old-fashioned boats), and were
scull-and-scull for 10(1 yards, when Wade began to leave
his opponent, and at Finch's was just drawing himself
clear ; in this position they remained for a short distance,
when Wade i7acreased his lead to about two lengths, and
held it for '..lnaost a quarter of a mile. Finnie then gra-
dually e.,01e upon his opponent, and on nearing Craven
Cottage wan close upon him. Wade again went away for
some 200 yards, when Finnis drew up level again to
C;rossing opposite the Crab Tree, when Finnie drew right
ahead, and after this did what he liked with his opponent
al', the way. The winner was trained at the Feathers,
Wandsworth, and was shown up by Ralph, J. Phelps
doing the like for Wade.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
The supply of beasts in to-day's market was not to guy
extensive. Nevertheless, the beef trade ruled heavy in
the extreme, at a decline in the quotations realised on
Monday of from 2d to 4d per Blbs. We were fairly sup-
plied with sheep. Primo Downs sold slowly, at barely
stationary prices, and other breeds were very dull, at 2d
per 81bs less money. The show of calves was moderate,
yet the veal trade was heavy, at a fall in value of 2d per
Blbs. In pigs and milch cows scarcely any business was
doing.

Would they abandon the country, or would the

would be found sufficiently keen to estimate th,,
value of a Government note, carrying 6 or 7 per

of six or twelve months for revenue dues, and at
the same time we should have the satisfaction of
knowing that every one with paper of this descrip-

The following letter is from a lady, dated Agra,

June 27 :

.• I will now try to describe al
. . . .
this as it happened. A rising had long been expectedat
Gwalior ; but, alas, nothing was done, and we
had no English troops. On Sunday, the 14th of
June, just as were going to bed, about half-past
nine, our servants rushed in and said the Sepoys had
risen. We dressed as quickly as we could, and then
• walked to an officer's bungalow to learn what we
could do to escape. We found the family in a state
of great alarm; as we were talking to Mrs. —,
her husband's horse rushed by, and it was said he had.
just been shot. We then went and hid in the gar-
den under some trees for about three hours ; the
shot was flying round us in all directions, -and
the houses were burning. The servants then
hid us—that is, my husband, Mrs. —, and
myself in one of their houses. Here wo lay hid
some time, expecting every moment to be discovered
Sepoys

in the morning they found us. They were afraid
to come in at the door, so they pulled the roof off
and fired in upon us. We then went to the 'door
and begged them not to kill us. When my hus-
band went to the door they fired twice at him.
There were about 20 of these horrid-looking men,
and quite drunk. Ile Was not wounded and rushel
on, they pursuing him and fired at him as he ran.
I then rushed forward too, and at first they fired at
me as well, but then they dragged ma away. I
never saw -- after this ; .but I have since heard
that he was killed two or three compounds further
on. I got an officer here who escaped to make all
the inquiries he could. It is not known if the
bodies were buried or not, but it is believed they
were all thrown into the river. I can scarcely write
or think, so fearful is it at all.
" After I suppose they had killed --, the
Sepoys cime back to us ; they pushed all the ladies
into a little hut that was near, and then they all
crowded in and mocked at us, and, threatened us
with death, worse than death. They then took us
to the lines. After keeping us there some time
they said they would not kill us, as we were only
women; and they bad killed our huel)andg, and so

IN RE H KILLER.

This bankrupt was described as a brickmaker, of St.
John's-terrace, Regent's-park, but up to twelve o'clock
he had not surrendered, nor had he rendered any ac-
counts. It was stated that he had absconded, and he
'9411 of course be proclaimed at the close of the court at
3 o'clock.

An important question was placed before Mr. Hagbt,
the registrar, under a trade debtor's summons. Mr.
Sturgeon appeared for the party summoned, and con-
tended that the registrar bad no power in the case, inas-
much as he had no authority to enforce tho giving a bond
In this case tne sum claimed was 931., and there was a
set-off to the extent of 801., but the transaction arose
°I
-It c,f "time bargains," on which a value was claimed.
Ile (tllr. Sturgeon) consid, red that this could not be
treated as a debt, but oven if it were so treated no bond
should be requi-ed. Ile was assured of the high respec-
tability of the defendant ; why call up,,:n him for a bond
and not call uon the plaintiff also to give security, see-
ing the nature of the case, for it was by no means clear
that the claimant was in a position to pay c-.:sts if he
went to trial and lost the cau,e.
The Registrar said the act only required the party
"Mteuued to give security. The ca.() was ultimately
aaJourned till his Honour could attend.

Lectures and Miscellanies. By 11. `'..Freeland,

M.A. Longman.
This volume consists of selections from the, writ-
ings of a clever and thoughtful writer, who wilL
probably at some future day give to the public a
more complete and independent work. It consists
of lectures given by him at the Chichester Literary
Society, since revised and added to, and some mid-
cellaneouscriticisms contributed to the press. The
most considerable papers are those on " Literary
Impostures," and "The Lifd and Writings of La-
maitine," both of which display a knowledge of
the subject, and some skill iu the use of it. The
style is clear and occasionally impressive ; and.
however much the reader may differ from the
opinions set forward, be will probably find some
gratification in the perusal of the volume. ,

Life in China. By the Rev. W. Milne,
Roneledge._

The author of this work has been for many years
a missionary among the Chinese, having left Eng-
land for China in 1839, and, wilt only au absences
of two years, having remained there until 1854.
He visited, in the prosecution of his object, many
places in the interior of China ' • and, his knowledge
of the people and the country being extensive, he
thought on his return home he would endeavour to
clear the European mind from many unfounded
prejudices and mistaken notions. He divide's his
work into four parts, conveying a varied amount
of information, and accompanied by four maps. At
the present time, when the public attention is
turned towards those distant countries of the East
with a general interest and desire of information
rarely evinced in earlier days, a volume of this
kind is likely to be really useful, by disseminating
true ideas instead of fidse and disabusing the
reader's mind of many popular errors.

Lands of the Slave and the Free. By Cap'.airt the
Hon. H. A. Murray, R.A. Routledge. .
This ii the second cheap edition of this lively and
entertaining work, which gives a series of animated
sketches of life in Cuba, the United States, and
Canada. It is issued in a commodious and elegant
form, and embellished with numerous engravings,
the frontispiece representing a very alarming
Mississippi steamer, with four funnels, and the ap-
propriate name of Screecher. The work has plenty
of infornaatiou respecting Transatlantic life ; and
in its present form is likely to enjoy an extended
popularity.

BATHING IN THE REGENT'S CANAL—A PUBLIC SCAN-
DAL.—Jeremiah Kennar, aged 25, James Angier, 20,
Charles Bilton, 16, and John Newinton, 13, were
brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with bathing in
public and exposed parts of the Regent's Canal, abutting
on Canal-road, Mile-end-road, and Rhodeswell-road,
near the Commercial Gasworks, Stepney.
It appeared from the evidence of Ram, a police-con-
stable, No. 259 K, that many hundreds of men and boys
were bathing in the canal close to the publio roads
during the whole of yesterday, and again this morning.
Mr. Yardley said bathing was an innocent and
healthful recreation, and ought to be encouraged rather
than refused in proper localities, but the Regent's-
canal, in Stepney, and Litnehouse, was not a proper
place for bathing. It was highly disgraceful for Kenner,
who was a grown man, to bathe in such a place and
exhibit himself as he had done before chil,lren of both
sexes. The, same remarks applied to Angier. He fined
Kenner and Angier 10s. each, and Bilton ss. only.
The boy Newington would be discharged. Bathing
must be carried on in proper places, and if the fines he
had levied did not stop the evil complained of, he should
inflict fines of 40a. on every person offending.

TFIE GERMAN LEGION.

Sir DE L. EVANS asked whether the German Le-
gion settlers at the Cape of Good Hope were at present
in receipt of full pay as troops embodied, or the rate of
pay specified in the army estimate for this year ; and
also, what was the present numerical force of that corps,
of all ranks I

Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the German Legion
at the Cape had been called out as soldiers, and they
were in receipt at this time of full pay. He hoped their
embodiment would enable the Governor of the Cape to
send a large number of the Cape troops to India. The
German Legion numbered 2,300.
