that no damage is occasioned. The ship is now
brought up opposite to the gun wharf to her former
moorings, whence she was removed by order of the

HENLEY REGATTA.

Compared with former years, this hitherto great aqua-
tic meeting was, on the present occasion, an extremely
tame affair, not from any want of patronage or exertion
on the part of the committee, who have achieved a high
reputation by the most unremitting attention to its
interests, but solely from accidental causes.
The elements themselves seemed to be unfavourable to
the regatta ; a dull, gloomy, cold morning was suc-
ceeded by rain, which tell heavily until the afternoon was
tar advanced, when the weather brightened up a little.
Notwithstanding the rain, however, there was a vastcon-
course of spectators, the bridge being as usual lined with
carriages, the grand stand was tilled with the rank and
fashion of the neighbourhood, and other visitors disposed
of in different parts where a view could be commanded
of the racing. The scene was enlivened by the band of
the Ist Life Guards.

Mr. J. S. Clarke, Wadbarri College, Oxford 1

Mr. Bone, whose beautiful rowing of last season in
the great regatta, and gallant race for the championship
of the Thames,, in which he was defeated by Mr. Play-
ford, must be fresh in the recoilection of our readers,
was the favourite at cdds, in some instances of 2 and 3
to 1, although Mr. Clarke had deservedly acquired con-
siderable reputatio❑ as a sculler by his fine rowing at
Oxford. Mr. Clarkii had the choice of station, and took
the Berks shore, his opponent being outside. Mr. Bone
took the lead, went away in first-rate style, and won
easily by some lengths. ,

Pair Oared Race for Silver Goblets.
For this race Chitty and Hornby from Oxford, Bag-
shawe and Baldrey from Cambridge, and Howard awl
Sherwood from London, had entered. The second
named pair, however, withdrew some days ago, and the
third pair also withdrawing on Thursday, a walk over
would have been the consequence had not a pair not
on the card come in.

Messrs. Chitty and Hornby, Oxford 1
The newly-made pair had the choice of stations, and
took the Berks shore. The start was extremely good,
and the race well sustained for some distance, the winners
being unable to cross at Remenham in cons. quence of
not having sufficient head ; they, however, went well
ahead at tee Puplara, and won by half a dozen lengths.

ther improvement ; several transactions have taken
place.
At West Wheal Jewel the Tolcarne lode has been
intersected by the cross cut in the 57, and stated to
be worth 151. per fm. for tin.
Improvements have been advised in Herodsfoot,
South Tolgus, Wheal Basset, and Treleigh Consols.
The weekly report from Wheal Trelawny advises
the sale of two parcels of silver-lead ore, No. 1, 100
tons, at 19/. ss. 61. per ton, and No. 2, 40 tons, at
41. Bs. per ton. At Mary Ann they had sampled 155
tons—No, 1, 93 tons, and No. 2. 65 tons.
Inquiries have been made for Tresavean, Trethellan,
Treleigh Consols, West Wheal Freasury, and Alfred
Consols.

Roche Rock shares continue to be inquired for, and
several transactions have taken place at an advanced
premium. Crebor shares have also been in request at
a premium, and are likely to advance.

ground, are
exceedingly rich. The deepest is the
100 fin. level, where the lode had just been
cut ; the 90 was producing 12 tons of ore per
fm.; the 80, 14 tons ; and Bennett's shaft is
opening ground worth 1001. per fin. These discove-

Great Wheal Towan, which, forty years ago, was the
richest mine in the county. These mines were
