GRAND HEAT.

This was a most indifferent affair. They were oar and
oar for a dozen yards; then crimson showed ahead, green
and white being abreast of each other. Immediately on their
arrival at the barge.head for the first time, the two tatter
fouled, and continued together, while crimson rowed leisurely
ahead, followed by stripes. The fouling between green and
white continued for some time, but within about half a mile
of the winning post, green shook their opponents off. Crim-
son won easily, stripes second, green third, a large way
astern.

—We had almost omitted to state that Newell and his part-
ner will receive the second prize, although stripes came in
next to the winners; the reason for this being that stripes
did not come to the starting post at the time the others went
off, and are, therefore, not recognised as being in the race.

GRAND FIELD-DAY IN HYDE-PARK ON MON-
DAY.—EarIy on Monday there' was a grand field-day in
the large space of ground generally used for such purposes
in Hyde-park. The troops on the ground consisted of the
Ist and 2d battalions of the Coldstream Guards, making the
full strength of that distinguished corps about 980 men ;
the 2d and 3d battalions of the Grenadier Guards, under
the command of Lieutenant. Colonel Grant ; the Ist bat-
talion of this regiment is now at Winchester. Including the
bands of both, there were about 1,500 present, and all were
under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Walton, of the
Coldstream Guards, a gallant officer, who, in addition to
many other glorious scenes, witnessed that of Waterloo.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Colonel of the
Coldstreams, arrived on the ground at the appointed time.
His Royal Highness was mountedon a grey charger, and was
attired in the regimentals of the corps, but in undress, viz.,
blue frock coat, with sash, sword, &c. At about a quarter
past eight o'clock the several battalions assembled—the first
of the Coldstream coming from Portman. street Barracks,
and the second from the Wellington Barracks, St. James'-
park. The 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards came from
Charing-cross Barracks, and the third from the present sta-
tion at St. John's Wood. The usual manoeuvres were then
gone through, and lasted for some time, after which the troops
returned to their barracks. A grand review of all the troops
stationed in London or adjoining will take place shortly, and
preparations are now being made very extensively in antici-
pation of the affair.
SUBMARINE OPERATIONS.—On Thursday week,
the smack Argyle, of Jersey, belonging to a company in the
West of England, arrived in Castletown-bay, Isle of Man,
with a celebrated diver, apparatus, &c., for the purpose of
taking up the brass guns and other parts of the wreck of the
Racehorse sloop-of-war, lost on Langness-point, about 21
years ago. On Wednesday last a great number of people,
gentle and simple, were out at Langness, looking at the diver.
The weather was beautiful, and there were persons sailing on
that day who had not been on the water for many years.
There was not a single boat left in the harbour. The diver
has succeeded, with the assistance of the crew of the Argyle,
in taking up about 30 tons of pig-iron, a large quantity of
copper, and a large anchor and chain. The diver was under
water three hours at one time on Wednesday.—lsle of Man

-A
new church has been erected in Birmingham,
and will be consecrated by the Lord Bishop of. Worcester, on
the 25th instant. The church is dedicated to St. Stephen..
THE WEATHER AND CRors.—Easterly winds still
prevail, and being accompanied, as usually happens, with
a low temperature, vegetation has not for several days
made much progress. The atmosphere, however,
is dry, which is favourable for the wheat ; and
the land still containing a good supply of mois-
ture, everything wears the aspect of health.
Potatoes look rather poorly, being both thin in
the drills and weakly in the stem. The thinning of tur-
nips is, in this neighbourhood, well advanced. A good
deal of hay is now in the rick, and having been put up
under favourable circumstances, will be of excellent qua-
lity. The cut, however, is far from heavy ; but the
second crop presents an appearance of great luxuriance,
and will no doubt go far to compensate the deficiency of
the main, crop.—Scotsman of Saturday.
EXTRAORDJKARY OUTRAGE.—On Tuesday, the 25th
ult., while Mr. J. H. Hynes, of New Quay, and the Rev. Mr.
Fullam, Protestant clergyman, were out traul-fishing with a
crew of three men, in the Bay of Galway, a fleet consisting
of eighty to a hundred boats, from the Galway Claddagh,
bore down on them; and nine or ten of the boats having sur-
rounded the fishing-boat, fifty or sixty of the Claddagh
fishermen suddenly boarded her, and after cutting away the
trawl, rushed on Mr. Hynes and his party with the most
awful imprecations and savage yells, armed with open knives,
poles, &c., knocked them down, and beat them most unmer-
cifully, leaving them apparently lifeless on the deck; they
then cut down the sails, which, along with the anchor, cables,
ropes, poles, and oars, they threw overboard. Finally, they
tore up the deck, and, with the atones that formed the bal-
last, made many fruitless attempts to scuttle the boat, after
which they departed, leaving her a complete wreck, to drift
along the sea; fortunately she was rescued from her perilOus
situation by a New Quay boat, and towed into harbour. An
investigation was held on Monday, at Currenrue, concerning
this most daring outrage, before Messrs. Bell and Kernan,
stipendiary magistrates, and Mr. G. Macnamara, justice of
the peace, harbour-hill. Although the lives of two of the
crew and that of Mr. Hynes were considered in imminent
danger for four or five days, they are now supposed to be con-
valescent.—Clare Journal.
