NATIONAL. SWIMMING MATCHES
Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, the
swimming matches were resumed under very favourable
circumstances, the swimming being excellent, and the
attendance exceedingly numerous. The decisions in the
races which took place the previous day, and which have
been reported, gave much satisfaction. The arrange-
ments were under the superintendence of Mr. Strachan,
founder of the Society. At seven o'clock, the usual pre-
parations having been made, the start took place for the
Subscription Purse, for which eight started, and the re •
sult was— •

All got off well together, and finished admirably,

by a very short distance—the rest were well vp. The
distance was from bank to bank of the Serpentine,
about 440 yards.

Notwithstanding tho very unfavourable state of the
weather yesterday, the watermen of this place contended
for a boat and other prizes, liberally presented by the
ladies and gentlemen of St. Mary Magdalen and St.

of spectators, save those whom business had drawn near
the spot ; but, as the rain ceased in the evening, there
were two or three hundred persons assembled to witness
the grand heat. The race was with six scullers in five
heats, the distance extending from Mill-stairs down,
round the floating engine, King-stairs, twice round in
each heat. W. White was the winner.

private carriages, including that of the corporation and
the various Societies in the town, formed a part of the

of road to the place of interment were closed, manifest-
ing a marked desire to pay every respect to the philoso-
pher's memory.
