GALLANT SCULLERS' RACE FOR 501.

One of the best races rowed above bridge for a great
length .f time came off yesterday for 251. a side, over
the usual cour-e from Putney-bridge to the Ship, at
Mortlake. Beth the competitors are be' )w.bridge men,
viz., James Finnis, of Wapping, and Henry White of
Bermondsey, they having frequently distinguished them-
selves, and both being winners of Doggett's coat and
badge, Finnis in 1854, and White in 1855. They rowed
against one another on a previous occasion (in 1855)
below bridge, when, after an excellent race, White won.
In addition to this, each has distinguished himself in
his own neighbourhood and at Putney in the Royal
Thames National Regatta, Finnis's last victory being
over Wade, in July of this year, and White's last race
against Thomas Pocock, giving him six lengths start,
when Pocock won, in December last year.
The Venus accompanied the race on this occasion, and
considering that it had rained all the morning, was
tolerably well filled, and money being laid out at 5 and
6 to 4on Finnis. Each man was accompanied by a
cutter, George Driver, of Wandsworth, being in the
heal of Whito'a, and Alfred Ralph, of the same place,
in the head of Finnis's.

Mr. T. Day having been chosen umpire for Finnis,
Mr. A. Grace for White, and Mr. H. Thomas referee,
the combatants got to tbeir stations, White winning
the toss, and at a few minutes before two they got off
in pouring rain at a slashing place, and commenced a
race which was kept up with desperate pluck almost
all the way.
On going off White drew a lead of about three yards,
which be held to the Steam-boat Pier, where Finnis came
up, and they rowed scull and scull for 200 yards. White
then began to lead again and gradually drew the nose of
his boat three-quarters of a length ahead•of the stern of
his oppontnee. Finnis now began to come up again, and
at Craven Cottage they were as level as at starting.
White drew ahead again, and held his lead to above the
Crab Tree, when the other overhauled him gradually to
Hammersmith. Finnis here just drew ahead, this being
the first time they were clear. Thus they continued for
200 yards, when White came up again and gradually
overlapped his opponent to the upper end of Chiswick
Ait, where the nose of Finnia's boat -Nal not more than
three yards in advance. From this point, however,
Whi.e fell off, and Finnis eventually won by six lengths.
Tile winners trained at Salter's. Both rowed in a most
determined and gallant manner.

It is reported that the• Atlantic cable is not likely to
prove ava►lable for either of the projected Indian lines of
telegraph. It appears that in its present coiled state it
generates or absotbs a great amount of heat, and a fear
is entertained of its being ruined by the temperature to
which it would be subjected in crossing the tropic,. It
has been found that extreme heat in the parts under pile-
sure forces the copper wire to the sides of the gotta percha
and destroys insulation.
PRAISE WELL MERITED. —Tbe Morning Herald, in
reviewing the August number of the Mechanic's Maga-
zine, observes—" We are delighted at the sustained
skill, energy, and interest with which this truly national
magazine is conducted. We have long been convinced
that no serial publication has done so much with so
little fuss for our national industrial wealth as this
magazine. Not only has it been the companion, edu
eator, and guide of our social brains and sinews, but it
•S given mental occupation to the aspiring mechanic,
who by this means has teen preserved from the squan-
dering of hie time in idleness and dissipation,"

respective countries; and they shall enjoy there in all
respects the same prerogatives and immunities.

tracting parties, travellers, merchants, manufacturers,
and others, who may reside in the territory of either

most favoured nations are treated. They may recipro-
cally bring by laud or by sea into either country, and
export from it, all kinds of merchandise and products,
and sell, exchange, or buy, and transport them to all
places in the territories of either of the high contracting
parties. It being, however, understood that the mfr.-
clian z of either nation who shall engage in the internal
commerce of either country shall be governed, is respect
to such commerce, by the laws of the country in which
such commerce is carried on ; and in case either of the ,
high contracting powers shall hereafter grant other pri-
vilegescancerning such internal commerce to the citizens
or subjects of other governments, the same shall be
equally granted to the merchants of either nation en-
gaged in such internal commerce within the territories
of the other.

Art. 4. The merchandise imported or exported by the
respective citizens or subjects of the two high contract-
ing parties shall not pay in either country, on their arri-
val or departure, other dotes than those which are
charged in either of the countries on the merchandise or
products imported or exported by the merchants or sub-
jects of the most favoured cation, and no exceptional tax,
under any name or prettxt whate►er, shall be collected
on them in either of the two countries.

Art. 5. All suits and disputes arising in Persia between
Persian subjects and citizens of the United States shall
be carried before the Persian tribunal to which such mat-
ters are usually referred at the place where a consul or
agent of the United States may reside, and shall be dis-

an employs of the consul or agent of the United States.
All suits and disputes which may arise in the Empire
of Persia, between citizens of the United States, shall

arisen, or in the province nearest to it, who shall decide

citizens of the United States and the eubjecte of other
foreign powers, shall be tried and adjudicated by the in-
termediation of their respective consuls or agents. In

ing between themselves, or between them and citizens
of the United States or foreigners, shall be adjudged
according to the rules adopted iu the United States re-
specting the subjects of the most favoured nation. Persian
subjects residing in the United States, and citizens of
the United States residing in Persia, shall, when

Taurie ; those of Persia at Washingt en, New York, and
New Orleans. The consuls of tl e high contracting par-
ties shall reciprocally enjoy in the territories of the other
where their residences shall be established, the respect,
privileges and immunities granted in the country to the
consuls of the most fact •ursel nation. The diplomatic
agents.or consuls of the vo Uri; States shell not protect,
secretly or publicly, the snle:,leces of the Per-sian Guveru-
went, and they shall never suffer a departure from the
principles here laid down and agreed to by mutual con-
sent. And it is further understood that it any of these
consuls shall engage in trade, they shall be subjected to
the same laws and usagee to which private individuals
of their nation engaged in commerical pursuits in the
same place arm subjected. And it is also understood by

81st, 82d, 83d, 84th, 86th, 87th (Royal Irish Fu-
siliers, and 90th (Light Infantry). IR addition to
the above recruiting is- also procced;ng for the Rifle
depots removed to Colchester, and the Highland
depots transferred to Aberdeen.
Orders have been received at the bead-quarters
of the Royal Engineers, Brompton Barracks, Chat-
ham, for recruiting to be opened for that branch of
the service, masons, bricklayers, carpenters, and
smiths being much wanted.
A depot company of the 38th Regiment will em-
bark at Cork to-day (Friday) for the camp at Col-
chester, commanded by Major Daniell and Captain
S. G. Quicke. The depot has been stationed at
Curragh Camp.
The depots of the 97th, 37th, 34th, 54th, 66th,
and the 2d and 3d battalions of the Rifle Brigade,
have since Saturday arrived at the camp at Col-
chester, to be permanently stationed theie.
The Vulcan steam troopship, Commander Sec-
combe, was swung in Portlmeuth harbour yester-
day for adjustment of her compasses.
Her Majesty's steamer Prometheus, Commander
Hope, arrived yesterday at Spithead from the coast
of Africa. Her dates are as follows :—St. Paul de
Loanda, July 12 ; Ambriz, July 13 ; Lagos, July
21; S.erraLeone, Aug. 13; Madeira, Aug. 21. She
brings no political news of any moment, a'l being
quiet along the coast. The fleet was distributed as
follows :—At St. Paul de Loanda, her Majesty's
steamer Sappho; at Ambriz, the Alecto and the
Childers; at Lagos, the Hecla and the Teazer ; off
Whydah, the Firefly. Her Majesty's steamer Ve-
suvius had arrived at Sierra Leone from England,
and sailed thence for Ascension. H.M.S. Scourge,
Commodore Adams, sailed from St. Paul de Loanda
for the Cape of Good Hope to meet Admiral Grey,
June 18, thence to Spithead, where she may now
be hourly expected.' The Antelope had taken a bri-
gantine off Whydah with 70 slaves on boar!, and in
the act of shipping more at the time of capture. A
great number of vessels fully equipped for the slave
trade are cruising off the coast evidently waiting a
chance to ship their cargoes, but under American
colours. On April 16, as the Prom-thews was on
her passage from Lagos to St. Thomas's she fo'l in
with and Captured the Adams Grey, a fine new bti-
gantine, under Spanish colours, and no papers, with
specie to the amount of 4,3801. sterling concealed
on board, intended for the purchase of slaves. She
was condemned a lawful prize to the Pr,metheus in
the Vice-Admiralty Court at Sierra Leone on the
18th May, and is considered the richest prize ever
brought into that port. The Prometheus has been
remarkably healthy during the whole time of her
commission. She has brought home as passenger
Lieut. Shaw, late of H.M.S. Myrmidon ; and as
invalids, Lieut. Savory, H.M.S. Alecto; Lieut.
James, H.M.S. Firefly; and Assistant-Surgeons
Turner and O'Mally, H.M.S. Myrmidon.
THE CAMP AT PEMBROKE.—A further redu:tion
in the strength of this garrison took place yester-
day by the departure of the whole of the 94. h to
join head-quarters. As a general medical inspec-
tion of the depot battalion is ordered, so that every
available man may join the servica companies, the
13th depot is ordered here forthwith. This will,
however, be but a temporary measure, for militia
regimen's must shortly be sent to do the important
duties of the dockyard and garris.m. A large num-
ber of the Royal Artillery have also left for head-
quarters, and the different fortificitions of the
haven recently erected are left almost wholly with-
out troops.
SALE OF ADMIRALTY LAND AT PEMBROKE.—Par-

ties are in treaty with the Admiralty for the pur-
chase of a considerable water frontage war Pem-
brok-yard. This is part of the intended enlargement
of that arsenal, so nearly accomplished on the last
visit of the board.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE,

TAVISTOOK.

The candidates now before the electors are the
Hon. A. Russell and Mr. E. Miall, late M.P., for
Rochdale. The latter gentleman addressed the
electors at the Bedford Hotel on Wednesday even-
ing.
Mr. MIALL prefaced his speech by observing th tt
he did not like to be in apparent antagon'sm with
those who professed nearly the en no political
opinions as himself. It was with consider:Ole re-
luctance that he consented to contest the election
for the borough, because he was accustomed to hold
in high respect the character and tonduct of his
Grace the Duke of Bedford. He thought that, even
in relation to this borough, consdcring the large
amount of property he possessed 'here, and the in-
fluence ho c ,uld exercise if he cho e to do so, he
had behaved with the utmost nobility and honour,
by allowing even those who had a claim upon his
sympathy to exercise their politic ti rights according
to the dictates of their own consciences. He had
seta proud example to the arist oci any of the co entry.
He (Mr. Miall) lied been waited up ;n try a deputa-
tion, and circumstances were explained to him which
induced him to think that he, as a public man,
should come forward and ask them for their sup-
port. He thought the electors had been subjected
to some sharp practice by his oppenent, Mr. Rus-
sell, arriving at Tavistock at the came time teat the
writ for another election to till the vacancy occa-
sioned by the resignation of the Hon. G. By ng was
received, and scarcely one person knew then that a
vacancy in the representation was at all near at
hand. It seemed that the electors had no right to
choose a candidate for themselves in the opinion of
certain persons, and it behoved them to s and up
and assert their rights, er they weul I he afterwards
told they were compelled to resort to Hobson's
choice. It appeared to him that th;s was a time,
above all others, when the electors of the country
should freely exercise their prerogative. The hon.
gentleman then proceeded to ask what evete the
principal questions which were then agitat ng the
public mind ? The first were constitutional ques-
tions, the second were those of religii.us liberty, and
the third were those questions arising out of our
foreign dependencies and the recent lamentable out-
break in the great province of India. As to the con-
stitutional questions, he thought there cool 1 be no
mistake whatever as to the opinions of the coultry
at the last general election. It was the opinion of
both Liberal and Conservative members that the
House of Commons as at present cenetituted failed
adequately to represent public opinion. Lord Pal-
merston ha-1 expressed himself in the like terms
when he stated that early next session he should
endeavour to extend its representative system. He
believed that the right to take part in the govern-
ment of the country belonged to all those who I aid
towards the support of the State. Ho admired the
old motto, " Representation and taxation should be
co-extensive." He would say that if the Ministry
of the day offered a fair and substantial Reform
Bill, that would include within it a large proportion
of the ibtelligent working men, and would greatly
increase the number of voters, and at the same time
afford them protection that should fairly distribute
the seats in Parliament, ho would afford them his
hearty support. The question of the b dist he con-
sidered to be of vital importance. He thought that
where property was so unequally distributed as it
was in this country, that where such influence was
possessed by those of exalted rank, and where the
people were, to a great extent, dependent upon
them, where a vote was given protection should be
given to the voter to enable him to record it with-
out being subjected to material damage for so
doing. He was in favour of the abolition of the
property qualification of member', and thought
that the Scotch members, who were not required to
possess a property qualification, were as indepen-
dent as English members. The second class of ques-
tions were those relating to religious liberty, and
here he might say that he was considered in advance
of the Liberal party, and probably in advanc!, of
that constituency. When they talked of religious
liberty he was prompted to substitute for the last
word another, which more nearly and correctly ex-
pressed his own meaning, and to say for " religious
liberty" "religious equality." When lie was told
that this State was the most tolerant in Christen-
dom—when, as a Dissenter, and he openly avowed
that he was one, he was told that he ought to be
thankful for the me: sure of freedom which he pos-
sessed—he felt strongly influence 1 to stand up and
ask who had made the party who had expressed
this opinion, or any one else, master over his con-
science. (Applause.) A man might es well come
forward with the utmost solemnity and inform
him that by the gracious permission of the State
he might walk out into the light of the sun with-
out any hindrance, that he might enjoy the bene-
ficent smiles of the Creator in the natural world,
that he might use the physical power which be
possessed, or that he might eat or drink without ,
hindrance. To such persons he would say, I
thank you for nothing." Ile;posses,ed that liberty
as a natural right, and he had to thank them for
giving it to him. It was his inalienable right, and
if any one attempted in the slightest degree tot.hre-t
Arict his liberty in this respect he was doing
which
the was wrong—trespassing on the rights wh.c.h
he Creator had given him, and it was therefore
presumption in any one to tell him that he ought to
be thankful for being allowed to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of his own conscience. his
