" The stewards of the Turf Club having inquired into
the conduct of the rider of Blucher in the Queen's Plate
on Wednesday, are of opinion that, under the 9th rule
of the Queen's Plate Articles, Keegan be disqualified
from riding for Queen's Plates; and further, that we
consider the instructions given by the owner of Blucher
to his jockey to be highly improper. We are also of
opinion that the trainer is extremely culpable. All beta
to stand.

SCULLERS MATCH BETWEEN OXLADE AND

WILLIAMS.
The scullers watch between Oxlade, of St. Paul's-
wharf, and Williams, of the Custom-house, for 201.
a side, came off yesterday, and was a most determined
and gsllant contest. The forme: is well known as having
been defeated ,by Gale, of Pimlico; the latter as the
victor of Jones, of the Custom-house; and although
both men are young, their spirited exertions of yester-
day augur well for their future advancement in the path
of celebrity. The interest of the match was very con-
siderable, and a large party were assembled on board
a couple of steamers and on various other craft to
witness it. Bttting was 5 and 6 to 4 on Oalade,
but no great amount of business was done. Williams
won the choice of station, and went to the Middlesex
side of the cfritro arch of Putney-bridge, the dis-
' lance being from there to the Ship at Mortlake,
Oxlade being on the Surrey Bide. The first two
strokes were taken so adraitably by Oxlade that he
drew his stern-post level with his opponent's outrigger,
and in this position they remained for a few strokes
only, Oxiade being at Searle's his own length clear, and
increasing that lead to three lengths off Craven-college,
and four at the Crab-tree; but here a change came
o'er the tenour of the scene." Williams put on a most
powerful spurt, and applied himself so gallantly to his
work that he gained stroke by stroke upon his adver-
sary, and at Ilanamersmith gave symptoms of over-
topping him. Itch by inch, from this point to Chiswick
Eyot, Williams still gained until the nose of hie boat
came almost kvel with the others out-rigger; but the
exertion necessary to effect this had been too great, and
he was unequal to a continuance of it, and after a few
squkes, in which it became difficult to say how long
either could have continued so close and severe a con-
flict, Williams was unable to proceed, and, resigning the
contest, got into the cutter dead beaten. Oxlade, who
at the time was much distressed, then rowed the re-
mainder of the distance.,

IRELAND.
THE CROP PLUNDERERS.
DUBLIN, THUR,DAY.—The corn lifters are at their
old trade in North Tinerary. On Sunday last about
180 reapers, and as many more binders and helpers,
proceeded en masse to some lands near Nenagh, to
cut down fourteen acres of wheat, which they car-
ried off in triumph, having at their disposal a large
number of horses and cars. This outrage took place
on the estates of Count Dalton, and the maurauding
tenant recently took the benefit of the Insolvent Act,
owing his landlord about 5001. rent. He was, never-
theless, discharged on the promise of fulfilling certain
conditions, which, it seems, altogether escaped his
memory, and he continues to hold the lands clear of
all rent and liabilities.

" DEATH CF TWO WORTHIES."
Under the above head the Newry Telegraph an-
nounces the demise of the Very Rev. Holt Waring,
Dean of Dromore, and Mr. James Watson, of Brook-
hill, in the county of Antrim, at the patriarchal ages
respectively of eighty-five and eighty-seven years.
Both gentlemen held prominent positions in the
Orange institution, the latter, it may be recollected
having been removed frcm the commission of the
peace by the Government of the late Sir Robert Peel,
in consequence of Air. Watson having taken part in
a procession or party demonstration deemed illegal in
the eye of the law. The Deanery of Dromore is in
the gift of the Government.

WIEDER IN TIPPERARY.
Another dreadful case of assassination in the South
Riding of Tipperary is thus recorded in the Free
Press of yesterday :
" About 6 o'clock A.M. on the 29th ult., as Thomas
Batters, of Clashdrumsmith, was going along the road
at Breansha, near Emly, he was fired at from behind a
hedge, and wounded in the wrist and thighs with large
shot, making a dozen wounds. The assigned motive
was that Batters was employed as caretaker on crops
under seizure for rent, and also blamed for entertaining
the keepers in his house. The unfortunate man lingered
unfit the following day, when he' died of his wounds at
8 P.M. An inquest was held by Mr. C. Hunt, resident
magistrate, and Mr. John Manfergh, justice of the
peace (in the absence of the coroner), and the following
verdict returned:—` We find that the deceased came by
his death by receiving a gun-shot wound on the morning
of Thursday, the 29th ult., on the road at Brcanshs, by
some person or persons unknown.' "

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT THE NORTH KENT RAIL•
WAY. —Yesterday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, the
numerous passengers travelling by the North Kent Railway
were greatly excited in consequence of the following occur-
rence. It appeared that the company had let to Messrs.
Pulinger and Rattenbury, the patent leather japanners, two
of the arches under the railway, numbered 416 and 407, in
the Rotherhithe New-road. These places, which have a very
wide span, and extend some distance in depth, were fitted
up as workshops and drying stoves. At the time above
stated a number of japanned cloths that were being dried in
the stove or oven became ignited, and in the course of a few
minutes the fire made such progress as to defy all attempts
to subdue it, until everything in the place of an inflam-
mable character was destroyed. Three men who were
at work in the shops forthwith commenced removing
the timber which enclosed them, but before they had ac-
complished one-half of what they intended, the boarding
caught fire, and then the flames, which were fed by the
japan, &c., in the shop, rushed up the side of the railway
high above the telegraph wires. The wind, which was
blowing strongly from the north-east, wafted the flames
some feet over the railway. One of the trains which had
started shortly before the outbreak was compelled to dash
through the flames and smoke, but although the heat was
most intense, it is understood that neither the carriages nor
engine sustained any injury. In the course of a few minutes
the brigade engine from Rotherhithe station arrived, and was
quickly followed by that from Southwark-bridge-road. The
West of England engine was also soon at the spot. The
firemen having set to work from a ditch behind the railway,
were enabled to get the flames extinguished by five o'clock,
but not until the drying-house and workshop were destroyed.
Fortunately the arches of the railway received no material
damage.
REPRESENTATION OF POOLE.—In addition to the
four candidates whom we named some days since, rumour
has since added Sir Charles Napier and /qr. Gordon, although
they are not yet ostensibly before the electors. The Slier-
borne Journal of yesterday says—" At present it is prema-
ture to speculate upon the result, as the party who supported
Mr. Robinson, under the idea that he would improve the
trade of the port, seem yet undecided."
[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Dreadful Bad Legs cured by
Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract of a letter from
John Eastman, Esq., of Buenos Ayres, dated April 3, 1845,
"To Professor Holloway. My dear Sir,—Your Pills and
Ointment are in very great repute here, and many wonderful
cures have been performed by their use ; one in particular I
will relate. A Portuguese farmer, who had been confined to
the house with sore legs for more ihan five years, which ren-
dered him incapable of following an \ kind of work, is now so
perfectly cured by the use of your Pills and Ointment that he
can follow the plough and attend personally to the most labo-
rious farming operations." Sold by all druggists and at Pro
244, Strand, London.
Lessor Holloway's Establishment,

Plate. Dac-an-Durras won the former in a canter, and
Captain Grant the Plate; Blucher, who was backed fora
considerable sum against the field, having been pulled
off immediately after starting and led back to his stable
without going round the course, or his jockey coming to
weigh, a proceeding which excited the indignation of
every one present, except those who had laid against
him. The matter underwent an investigation by the
stewards, who declared Keegan disqualified from riding
for the Queen's Plates at the Curragh in future, but at
the same time decided that all bets lost on the event
should be paid. The following is a copy of their de-
cision :
