GRAND SUBSCRIPTION SCULLERS' MATCH.

On Saturday the following seven crack watermen, West-
wood, Cobb, Maynard, Farsons, Castles, Harris, and Eld,
started at half-past five front Westminster Bridge, to a
boat moored off Avis's, the Eight Bells, Putney, for a
purse of sovereigns and other prizes, given by the gentle-
men amateurs at Messrs. Rawlinson and Lyon's. Most
of the above are celebrated men, and have in their time
won a variety of matches, but Saturday proved that at
least some of them have had their day, as Cobb, the Put-
ney watennan, considered a complete yokel!, took the
lead off the Politemtiary, and kept it to the destined point
in gallant style. Between Maynard and Cobb it was ac-
knowledged to be one of the best matchee, of the season,
there being only half a boat's length between them. The
day being fine, there was an itnmense number of boat. on
the river. Those who take le!;ght in aquatic competition
never had, perhaps, a finer treat than was afforded by the
two winning men.

nefit which the Duke has derived from the bath and waters
have determined hint to remain two or three days more

upon for his Grace's departure, but the Noble Duke will
remain till Sunday. when it is understood his Grace will
proceed to the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park, on a visit to

The various reports respecting the resignation of the

Cl,a ILEllNigellE,Acoduuli,irino'thLiblilton7x'aelitelloiguirursiveliteshet
solicitude. We are well aware how deeply the event in-
terests a large portion of our readers. The following are
the ttuits of our anxious inquiry into the subject, and we
do not hesitate to vouch for their authenticity. 1.1,„ r' lit
expellees of the Naval examinations of his Royal Highness
have been rated by public rumour at 80,00 W., and have
furnished one of the causes assigned by rumour for his
Royal Highness's retirement from office. We can, haw_
ever, positively, and without fear of contradiction, assert,
that the public experaces on these occasions did not exceed
2,000/. We do not mean to say that the liberality and
hospitality displayed on these occasions cost no more. By
no means ; but we can fearlessly assert, that upon ever••
one of these occasions, a more heavy charge was eh frayed
by his Royal Highness out of his own coffers. The splendid
style with which Earl SPENCER, when at the head of the
Admiralty, supported his station, compared with the mise-
rable economy practised by others, has been often extolled
in the public press. Was it less incumbent upon the Heir
Presumptive to the Throne to support his still more dignified
office of Lord High Admiral of England with appropriate
splendour, associated as it WAS in bins with his earliest
recollections, his favourite study and pursuits, his ardent,
his enthusiastic devotion to the navy? His liberality in
thus doing honour to the high station to which he was
called has caused him, while his whole income was only
47,0001. a-year, to expend, in the sixteen or seventeen
months in which he has bean in office, very little short of
100,000/. ; but how small a portion of this sum was de-
frayed by the public, under one particular head of expense,
we have already stated. His outfit cost nearly 40,000/.
his previous mode of life having been free from expense of
ostentation, his Royal highness's table not having been
able to display even a service of plate. By his resignation
of office he Buffets a diminution of income to the amount of
of 80001. a-year; and this, with the heavy expences in li
-
curred in the performance of its duties, must leave him,
we regret to say, subject to a large accumulation of debt.
Some persons may consider this a greater ►acriffce to the
public service than prudence would sanction ; but we auk,
what individual, however economical, could do credit to
the office of Lord Uigh Admiral of England, without sus-
taining a heavy 1058 by his sudden and early retirement
from it? Tile Heir-Presumptive to the Throne—a man
so competent, so anxious to di►charge the duties of his •
office, so indefatigable in business, and so acceptable
to the navy, could nut have anticipated such a result. lie
had a right to speculate upon such a lengthened continuance
iu office as would enable bins to redeem the extraordinary ex-
pences necessarily accompanying the outset, and to retrieve
his affairs. He did not, like massy other►, come into office
to board up money, or• recruit a broken fortune ; he came
into office perfectly unembarrassed, with generous and
princely notions, and a determination to devote himself
to the good of his country. In April, 1827, his
Royal Highness was perfectly free from debt : he did
not owe a shilling. The prudence and economy of his do-
mestic arrangements were acknowledged in the debates of
the House of Commons. To them and the unassuming
and unostentatious disposition of his amiable consort, he
was indebted for this enviable situation. His Royal High-
ness has not surrendered it to extravagance and folly. It
has been sacrificed in the public service. With respect to
his Royal Highness's resignation, it is not necessary to go
into any details or specific causes, if we reflect that no Mi-
nister exists who would not have been happy to places a less
independent perso❑ at the Admiralty, and one who, besides
attention, was by being a Member of the Cabieet, able and
willing to enter deeply into politics, an fight a battle in
the Senate. Patronage, in these times of economy, is ne-
cessary to keep the actual friends and would-be friends of
Government in good humour, and one great branch was
taken flout the Minister by the Royal Duke's even-handed
justice to all. The Heir Presumptive could not be turned
out nor asked to retire, but things might be easily arranged
so as to offend high and proper feeling, and lead to a tender
of the office to the Crown. We have, however, the satis-
faction to add, that no exists in any quarter ; that
the KING has avowed hie marked approval of all that has
been done by the Royal Duke in every step of the business ;
and that it has had the effect of rendering the tie between
the SOVEREIUN and his Ituyal Brother stronger even than it
previously existed.—Hampshire 7'eleeraprt.

THE WEATHER AND Tl 4 Chors.—During the present
week grain to the cts-totmt of many millions of pounds
sterling haq been secured in excellent condition. The un-
settled state of the weather fur the greater part of the
months of July and August, has given great activity to the
labours of the husbandman, and he has availed himself
with more than ordinary zeal of the glorious weather of the
last six days. As far as our limited means enable us to
judge, we, would say that the crop in the north of England
is idmat an average, but the long continuance of wet
weather has prevented the ears front being en plump and
full as they are generally found in morn gznial seasoas. We
see no reasen to alter the opinion we have already ere
