TATTERS ALL'S—YESTERDAY
The settlement for the Goodwood Races brought a full
attendance of subscribers, amongst whom we observed
several fresh faces. To say that all were satisfied would
be very far to exceed the truth, few having left the room
with their accounts closed up ; but, as no complaint*
reached our ears, we may take for granted it was quite
as good as, if not absolutely better than, the ordinary run
of settlings. The St. Leger betting began late in the
afternoon ; it comprehended most of the favourites that
have recently figured in the public quotations: The Cu: es
at 3 to 1, and Valerian, at 8 to 1, 15 to 2, and in three
or four bets 7 to 1, being most conspicuous in demand.
4,5001. was left with Mr. Tattersall to cover the bet of
3,500 to 1,000 laid against The Cure at Goodwood.
Takers of the odds quoted against Ithuriel and Red
Deer, and layers against the Princess and the Ugly
Buck, both. however, having been backed for small sums
in two or three quarters. The Derby betting was, for
the short space of time devoted to it, tolerably brisk, and
at prices that look well for the " trade." The general
averages at the close of the room were as under :

AQUATICS.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.
The trial race amongst gentlemen amateurs, challengers
for the silver sculls, took place yesterday, and was, notwith-
standing the heavy rains, accompanied by several of the
leading clubs. According to the conditions of the contest
this event should have come off on Saturday, and the candi-
dates for the honorary distinction met at Searle's prepared
for the start, but as it was the opinion of the best judges that
no wherry could live through Lambeth or Chelsea reaches,
the race was unavoidably deferred until yesterday, when,
' although the wind had abated, the weather was upon the
whole anything but favourable to aquatic sports. The
Silver Sculls Race was first established in 1831, by a
gentleman named Wingfield, to encourage a spirit of emula-
tion in the scientific art of rowing; the conditions being that
on each succeeding year the holder of the previous season
should resign them or contest with the successful challenger
of the previous week, the arrangement being that the first
heat should take place on the 3d, and the final race on the
10th of August. It is almost unnecessary to say that this
has always been a most interesting feature in aquatics,
and generally the hardest race of the whole season. At
about half-past five the four gentlemen who had entered
moved towards Westminster-bridge, their boats being covered
in fore and aft, accompanied by the Leander, the Neptune,
the Guy's, the St. George's, the Queen, and other club boats,
with a boat manned by waterxnen, in which Mr. Lewis took
his seat as umpire.
Mr. Bumpstead, Leander Club 1
Mr. Noble, Cambridge Subscription Room.. 2
Mr. Ronayne
3
Mr. Kennedy, Amateur Scullers' Club
Mr. Bumpstead, who carried off the valuable prize entitled
the diamond sculls, at Henley, was the favourite. The gen-
tleman who had entered in the name of Noble was first on
the Middlesex shore, Mr. Kennedy being second, and Mr.
Bumpstead third. The start was very unevenly taken by
two of the gentlemen. Mr. Noble first got it, and went away
with the lead of a length or more ; Bumpstead started very
indifferently, and Ronayne was right astern of all. Some
sharp work followed up to Lucas's, Noble endeavouring to
retain the first place, and the others working very gallantly
to mend their positions. In the former of these Mr. Noble
was unsuccessful, as after a few strokes abreast of each other,
Mr. Bumpstead shook him off ; and having obtained the
pride of place, kept it throughout, winning by half a minute.
Mr. Ronayne rowed in a very plucky manner, and off Nine
Elms passed Mr. Kennedy in good style, and kept the second
gentleman hard at work all the way up. Mr. Bumpstead
will row on Saturday next against Mr. Chapman, the holder
of the last two ,ears.
WEST' MINSER- BRIDGE REGATTA.
The seventeenth annual regatta for a purse of sovereigns,
given by the ladies and gentlemen of St. Margaret's and St.
John's, Westminster, to be rowed for by men plying on the
Middlesex side of the bridge, took place yesterday. The
rage was with six pair of sculls, in three heats, the distance
being to start from the Duke of Buccleuch's to Vauxhall..
bridge, back round a boat moored off Montague House, and
return to the bridge.

GRAND HEAT.

May took thelead and held it some distance, when Camp-
bell challenged him, and a very pretty race followed, which
ended in Campbell taking the lead, retaining it, and winning
by three or four lengths, rowed in a very beautiful boat of
Cownden and Wentzell's, out-rigged like the cutter used by
the Newcastle men at the Thames Regatta. which has been
the subject of so much talk.
DEPTFORD REGATTA.

This contest, yesterday, for a boat and other prizes, given
by the inhabitants, was very numerously attended, but was
not so well contested as we have seen it. The managers,
however, were determined to compensate in quantity for any
deficiency there might be in quality, and six watermen there-
fore rowed five heats, the business beginning at ten in the
morning, and continuing until half-past seven in the evening.

The grand heat was between the two last named. For
about half a mile they were scull and scull, and then Dela-
mane went ahead, but was closely pressed for the next half
mile. He, however, after that went further in advance, and
ultimately won easily.
