ROYAL 31Anirms.—Private Sutton, alias Green, of
the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, received corporeal
punishment yesterday morning, in presence of the corps, to
the extent of 150 lashes, having been found guilty by a
court-Martial of absenting himself and making away with
his regimental necessaries, and in consideration of his former
convictions and general bad conduct.. Since his enlistment
in the Royal Marines he has deserted three times, and twice
perjured himself by enlisting into regiments of the line, and
has been branded with the letter D.
GREAT RUNNING MATCH OP ONE HUNDRED
YARDS.—The great one hundred yards race, for 50/. aside,
between John Smith, the Regent-street. Pet, and Robinson,
of Newton Moor, two men of considerable celebrity as run-
nerS, took place on Monday at Ealing, in the presence of a
vast assemblage of sporting men of all grades. The match
had created very considerable interest, and good sums had
been laid out at 5 to 4 on Robinson, odds which, at the time
of starting, increased to 6 to 4, with takers amazingly shy.
At about six in the evening, the preliminaries having been
arranged, the signal was given, and the men went away.
Smith had a trifling advance for a few yards, when Robinson
collared him, and they were abreast for a second. Robinson
then dashed away from him, and won the race by three yards.
GRAND SWIMMING FETE AND OJIDBEWAY SPORTS.
—On Monday a grand swimming fete was given at
the National Baths, Westminster-road, Lambeth, at which
Alexander Cadolle, or " Strong Wind," interpreter to the
Ojibbeway Indians, exhibited the management of an Indian
canoe. The amusements were numerous, consisting of plain
and fancy swimming, diving, rope-dancing, driving spikes in
oak planks under water, &c. The champion swimmer, a
gentleman named Fewtress, went through a variety of won-
derful feats in the water, on one occasion remaining at the
bottom of the bath, whilst he made as many as seventy-five
strokes with a hammer, all the time driving iron nails into
planks sunk in the water. A swimming match for an elegant
silver medal, given by the proprietor of the establishment,
came off at a subsequent period of the evening, anl which
was ably contested by a number of young gentlemen. At
the conclusion of the fourth heat, a gentleman named Nunn
was pronounced the winner. The whole of the amusements
were under the superintendence of Captain, Wm. Stevens.
Lieut. T. J. Irvine's patent " Arcasalus' was also exhibited.
It is similar to a trunk or portmanteau, and when filled with
any description of property will not only float and preserve
the contents if immersed, but will support in the water the
whole of a boat's crew, who can attach themselves with
facility, by means of loops conveniently placed on the exterior
