TATTERS ALL'S—YESTERDAY.
So determined a set was made against Ithuriel, that at
one time it appeared " all up" with him. sto 1 was then
laid to between four and five hundred pounds, and the
takers, fur a moment, were choked off ; 6 to 1 was then
laid to upwards of 100/,, but the layer refusing to go on,
confidence was partially restored, and two or three other
bets sere booked at sto 1. Nothing less, we believe,
was taken. The effect of this movement was to give
must of the other favourites a lift, and more particularly
D• er, Valerian, and Foig-a-ballagh ; the betting,
however, irrespective of Ithuriel, was far from brisk.

THE SPBYNX BOAT-RACE.
The gentlemen of this highly respectable club on Wed-
nesday rowed a very pretty coulters' race, for a pair of
silver challenge sculls an 3 a very handsome presentation
bijou. The water selected for the contest was from
Chiswick Eyot to Kew-bridge ; and the gentlemen, at
an early hour in the afternoon, left the Messrs. Searle's,
accompanied by their eight-oared cutter and some other
boats, for the starting-place. Subjoined are the names
of the competitors, with the order in which they
- - -

came in :

Messrs. Muzworthy 1
Fenchm

Reid
Adams
The start was well effected, and the whole of the party
went off prettily together; Mr. Diuxworthy took the lead,
and retained it throughout, winning by about 38 seconds;
lir. Fencham was second at the start, and held it for the
first mile and a half, sharply pressed by Mr. Adams ;
they then became scull and scull for a few strokes, when
Mr. Adams led him by half a length for a minute or so,
but was unable to maintain it, and Mr. Fencham again
took up the second place, which he kept. Mr. Adams
shortly afterwards fell astern, Mr. Reid rowing by him.
Adams rowed in the out-rigged wherry, which, we un-
derstand, in other respects, is dissimilar to the Newcastle
men's in its construction.

PUGILISTIC CONTEST roit, 2001.—0 n Wednesday
the long-pending fight between Simmonds (of Birming-
ham) and Smith (the Chequer lad) came off below
Gravesend. These men met on a previous occasion,
with a view of settling their differences, but were com-
pelled to make retreat in consequence of magisterial in-
terference ; on this occasion, a steamer was provided for
conveying the combatants and their respective friends to
the locality selected for the fight, and which leftHunger-
ford-market completely crowded with the sporting fancy.
These men had acquired considerable merit as pugilists,
and from the amount of stakes and the heavy betting,
great excitement was created in the sporting arena.
Smith received from his opponent 201. for allowing choice
of ground ; and the parties having arrived at their desti-
nation, a ring was roped and staked (at this time there
was about four thousand spectators), and betting to a very
considerable amount took place between the Birmingham
and London fancy, Simmonds being the favourite. All
preliminaries being arranged, the men made their ap-
pearance in the ring and shook hands together, testifying
there was no ill-feeling between them beyond the pos-
session of the stakes, and then putting themselves into a
fighting position, they immediately commenced war,
with much severity, and displaying great courage and
science. When 40 minutes had elapsed, it was quite
manifest that Simmonds had an advantage over his op-
ponent ; they kept up the encounter for 1 hour and 34
minutes, when the friends of Smith, despairing of any
chance of winning, withdrew their man from the contest,
and Simmonds was declared the victor. The weight of
the combatants was (upon going to scale) 9st. 101 b. each;
they appeared in fine condition, and exhibited great
muscular form. Large sums of money were transferred to
Birmingham on this occasion.
EDINBURGH_ Towsi COUNCIL,—At a meeting of the
town council on Tuesday, the Lord Provost (Mr. Black)
called the attention of the council to the present trans-
mission of the London mail to the city, which he thought
admitted of great improvement. At present it came
round by Carlisle, and occupied twenty-eight hours in
the journey; whereas, on the Newcastle Railway, the
train only occupied fourteen hours fourteen minutes
between London and Newcastle, and the coach to Edin-
burgh occupied only ten hours more—making in all
twenty-four hours fourteen minutes. But if the mail
were transmitted by Newcastle, letters might easily be
delivered in Edinburgh at latest by twelve o'clock—
whereas at present they were not delivered till :about
four o'clock. It would appear, indeed, as if the autho-
rities had looked for the longest instead of the shortest
road. He suggested that it should be remitted to a
committee to prepare a memorial to the Postmaster-
General, praying for a remedy to this evil. The council
at once agreed to authorise his Lordship to prepare and
transmit a memorial to the effect referred to.
FOREIGN WiteAT.---In consequence of the contem-
plated rise of duty upon foreign wheat, last week there
was an immense deal done previous to Saturday, in the
clearing off stocks. The duty during the last average
was 18s. per quarter, and by the Saturday's return it
rose to 19s. On the Friday one house paid 2,0001. of
duties ; altogether, during the week ending Friday,
foreign wheat, amounting to 7,9231. of duty was cleared
at the Custom-house.—Edinburgh Paper.
A YOUTH SHOT AT BATTERSEA-TIELDS.--OH
Saturday last, as a youth, named Daniel Evans, in the
employ of Mr. Watness, a distiller, was driving a horse
and cart in the road near Battersea-fields, he suddenly
received in his left cheek and jaw the contents (shot) of
a fowling-piece, discharged by a man who stood in the
adjacent field, about twenty yards off. The youth was
conveyed to Westminster Hospital, where Mr. Bowman,
the house surgeon, succeeded in extracting the shot, and
he is going on as favourably as can be expected. The
lad states that he believes the individual to have aimed
at a stray pigebn which had escaped from the pigeon-
shooting arena belonging to the Red House Tavern ;
and as soon as he perceived the mischief he had done,
he effected his escape through the arches of the South-
ampton railway, w hich he was only a few yards from.
A description of him has been forwarded to the police.
DBTERMINED SUICIDE or • FEMALE.—Wednesday
Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Yorkshire
Grey, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, on the body of Louisa
Stonor, aged 22, an unmarried woman. From the evi-
dence of the witnesses examined, it appeared that on
Sunday night last deceased wns standing with her ille-
gitimate child in her arms, near the river side, and ww4
talking cheerfully with several of her acquaintances,
amongst them being the reputed father of the child.
She parted with them at twelve o'clock, bade them good
night, and said she was going home, but in a few initiates
she asked a boy to hold her baby, whilst she Went On.
The boy did as he was requested, and while holding the
child he heard her raise a loud laugh, and then saw her
rush to the extremity of the pier, and Rhine into the
water. A man in the barge saw her sink, and with
assistance endeavoured tp saVe her. Owing, however, to
the darkness of the night,. she was not seen to rise, and
her body was not found until the next morning. None
of the witnesses could give any reason for the deceased's
suicide, as she was always of a cheerful disposition, did
not suffer want, and had never shown signs of insanity.
The Coroner, in summing up, asked the jury whether
they could say, from the evidence they had heard, that
the deceased had destroyed herself whilst in a state of
insanity. The jury were of opinion that the evidence
was not satisfactory upon that point, and returned a ver-
dict that the deceased destroyed herself, but in what
state of mind there was no evidence to show.
