AQUATICS.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lOO.

A match for the above amount was rowed on Tuesday
from Putney to Mortlake, by John Augustine Caffin, a
waterman of the Old Swan, London-bridge, and William
Sadler, a waterman of Putney.
Sadler was a groat favourite, and the betting opened at
2 to 1 on him, and went to 5 to 2 ; he also won the choice
of station, and took the Middlesex side, sheltered from the
wind, while Caffin was exposed to all of it in mid stream.
He weighed 12st 41b, while Sadler weighed 2st less. Mr.
W. Wilberforce, jun., was referee; Mr. 11. Bain umpire for
Caffin, and Henry Kelly his pilot. Joe Sadler stood um-
pire for his brother, and George Hammerton showed him
up. They got off on a bad tide, Catlin with a slight lead ;
he was dispossessed of it, however, in 50 yards, and at the
Star and Garter Sadler led by one-third of a I:ngth, both
steering in shore. Sadler increased the gap as they neared
the London boat-house, but hero Caffia drew up, and half-
way up the Willows Sadler, who was too close in shore,
came out, and they fouled ; Sadler went on with the lead,
and was well ahead at Hammersmith, but again off Chis-
wick Coffin caught him, and a smart struggle to the bath-
ing place at Barnes found them again fouling. After that
Sadler maintained the lead, and at Mortlake was declared
the winner on the foul. Time, 27 min. 25 sec.

FRESH FENIAN OUTRAGES.

CORK, Feb. 12.

During the night two constabulary patrols were
shot at from revolvers. The first outrage was per-
petrated on Sub-constables Kearney and Thompson
in North Main-street ; the next on Sub-constables
Hunter and Flanagan, in Mulgrave-street. The
latter returned the fire again from their rifles, and
one of their assailants fell.

Subsequently a six-barrelled revolver, with two
barrels discharged, was found near the spot, and in
a house adjacent a man named Daniel Dineen was
discovered under a bed with his nose recently shot
away. He is identified by the police as having fired
at them.

Other arrests were made of parties having fire-
arms on their persons.

Tranquillity has boon restored.

Two of the rioters were brought before the ma-
gistrates yesterday and committed for trial before
the Recorder.

THE RUMOURED RE.SIGNAY lON OF
LORD DERBY.

There is nothing like a good sensational
heading to a newspaper article. Lard Derby's
" rumoured resignation" is unquestionably an
alliterative attraction of the first order ; and we
should be sorry to spoil its effect by inquiring too
closely into the foundation on which it rests.
The Premier has unhappily been laid on his
couch by the gout, and on the shelf by the Times.
This is enough to set the Clubs and the penny-a-
liners on the alert ; and, if it were not that the
same thing has happened before, as it probably
will happen again, the next time Lord Derby
chances to be indisposed, we should feel some un-
easiness at the coincidence.

As it is, our minds are at rest. Lord Derby has
had a rather lengthened attack of gout, and it leas
not been thought prudent to come to town at
present—and that is the account of the whole
mystery.

ULTIMATUM OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON ON THE
ALABAMA CLAIMS.—A Washington correspondent
of a contemporary says : "I have official authority
for saying that Mr. Johnson declares that he will
present, as the ultimatum of the United states,
the settlement of the so-called ' Alabama claims'
upon the basis heretofore insisted upon by the
Government, or suspension of diplomatic relations
informed,
will the two countries. The demand, lam
will be made promptly, and a prompt response will bo
expected. The forthcoming interview bet
between Mr.
Johnson and Mr. Thornton will be awaited with intense
anxiety."

TROTTING MATCH AT 4BROMPTON FOR £5O.—A
match for the above amount came off on Monday afternoon
at Brompton, Mr. 11. Panell, the bookmaker, having laid
.£25 even that Jack Smith's pony Kitty, 12 hands 1 inch,
did not trot 71- miles in the half hour round the enclosed
ground, quarter of a mile round. The pony was in ex-
cellent trim, and was driven by Smith, who weighed 13s
Gib. Mr. Edwin Smith, of Bell's Life, was referee, and
Mr. J. G. Kent kept time on behalf of the pony. She did
the first and second quarters in a minute each, and the
first mile seven seconds under four minutes. After that
she had it rather safely in hand, and won by 45 seconds.
There was no betting, but a very numerous attendance o
all classes of trotting men.
ANOTHER SHOCKING WORKHOUSE STORY.—An
inquest was opened at the Aston Union Workhouse
Birmingham, on Saturday, on the bodies of Mary
Pritchard, aged GO, and her daughter; Mary Ann Prit-
chard, aged 23 years. The deceased were inmates of
the above workhouse, and last week the nurse, by mis-
take, took from the dispensary a bottle of carbolic acid
and applied to the poor creatures as a remedy for the
itch. The mother died in three hours and the daughter
next day, having suffered dreadfully. Another woman
