to be much more an encumbrance than a necessity.
Yet the native cavalry still require large numbers
of grass-cutters and sycees, whom English dragoons

Yet the native trooper is more difficult to feed than
the British dragoon, as the meat of the latter in the
form of bullock walks in rear of the column and re-
quires no carriage.

THE LATE MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE
TRAMES.—The Sportiny Life says it is lamentable that a
championship race on the Thames should have led to a
trial which will mulct the losing side of quite £l,OOO in
costs alone. We cannot understand why certain of the
daily press should insist that there is absolute evil in row-
ing for money. Why should not the skilful and proficient
athlete turn his physical gifts to advantage as well as the
man of mental culture, who writes a novel for £2,000 or
paints a picture for dcuble that sum ? However, wo have
thus far done with this vexatious case, and recognise the
jury's decision as a consistent, logical, and manly vindica-
tion of fair play. If Kelley and Sadler's parties are still
confident in their view, let them, as suggested by Lord
Chief-Justice Cockburn, try the issue once more with a

FALMOUTH., March 9.--:-There is at present in this
port a larger fleet of shipping from all parts of the
world than for some time past, and it would seem to mark
unmistakably a revival of trtde. On Sunday there ar-
rived about 20 sail, making a total of just 193, of which
number 110 are awaiting orders, and the residue a favour-
able wind, to proceed to their destinations. Owing to the
more favourable state of the corn market, the detentions of
grain-laden vessels for orders have been very short with
the lately arrived fleet. The weather has been very bois-
terous in this quarter for some days, blowing a gale from
N.W. and W.N.W., and among the steamers and other
shipping taking refuge in the weskrn bay was her Ma-
jesty's storeship Fox, Staff-Commander Moriarty, C.i3 ~
which proceeded to the westward on Monday morning on
the yesther moderating.
