VENI:00, JUNE 30.—The inhabitants of Maestricht have
no hopes of obtaining a' railivaY to Aix-la-Chapelle, with a
branch to'Kerkrade. A company..is ready to undertake the
work at its-own expense, if the Goveriinent will grant it the
coal mine of Kerkrade for a certain number of years. If it
is true, as 14 'affirmed, that these coal mines cause more loss
than gain to the State every year, why not give them up,
and. thus obtain an iron railway, which may be of great im-
portance to Maestricht and the proyince of Limburg.
A deputation from the Chamber of. Commerce of Antwerp
has-Waited on the King, at Brussels, and presented to his Ma-
jesty, on the 30th of June, an addresS,
requesting that on the
project of law on the differential duties the following items
may be suppressed : • „ ' '
1. The regulationwhich prohibits ships from touching at
Cowes.
2. That relative to-the privilege granted to Holland to
import seven million pounds of Java coffee. 3. That which' raises `'the cluey in 'Coffee to 25 francs,
instead of 15 francs, as asked by the Chamber of Commerce
of Antwerp. -- " • -' - - ' • -
In case these three paragraphs shpuld be retained, the
deputation expressed a wish that the project of law might
not receive the royal sanction.
The King seemed much struck with the'arguments pro-
duced, and promised that the address should be maturely
considered by him, and then laid befere the Council of
Ministers.

ERITH REGrATTA.
This regatta, at which very'valuable 'prizes were offered
for competition amongst gentle:nen of the great aquatic clubs,
and- in- which some of the first-rate London watennen also
contended, Caine off yesterday. An effort was made last
year to get up a meeting of this description at Erith, but it
was altogether a very lame affair, and attended A-ith but very
indifferent success. That of 3-esterday, however, more than
realized the expectations of the most sanguine, and the Erith
regatta may now be looked upon as one f
? the standard
aquatic banquets with which the public are favoured during
the season. A number of influential gentlemen resident in
the vicinity had formed themselves into a committee to
conduct the races, and, asssisted by T. L. Jenkins, Esq., the
indefatigable honorary secretary of the Thames Regatta, such
arrangements were made as induced a great number of gen-
tlemen to enter the lists, and a vast assemblage of perso,us
to congregate to witness the sport. The Ruby steamer and
the Queen of the Thames started from London at eleven
in the morning with but few on board, which may
be mainly aecounted for by the very unfavourable
state 'of the weather ; but within two hours of their
arrival at Erith they were crowded with persons of rank and
fashion. Some private apartments at. the Pier Hotel had
been, we understand, set apart for some of the carriage com-
pany. The band of the Royal Artillery, consisting of twenty-
five performers, under the able direction of Mr. Plienzie.
performed the most popular airs during the day with great
taste; the various boats in the vicinity were covered with
-nags • every inch of ground where a view could be com-
manded, was occupied before the rowing commenced, large
booths were erected, and everything bore the appearance of
excitement and gaiety.
The races commenced at half-past two, with the first beat
of the watermen's pair-oared wager, and was succeeded by other
boat races; but in order to save the reader trouble, we shall
at once detail each race under its own head :
Amateur Four-Oared Race, for the Silver Presentation Cum. value 50guineas. Distance, from Purfleet Point up to the
Committee and boat off .Erith-pier (about one mile and
three-quarters.)
First Heat.—Royal Academy Club—Blue and Red.—rd
G. Atkinson, stroke ; 3. S. D. Cooper ; 2. H. M. Cooper ri 1. W. E. Revell ; A. F. Cameron coxswain.
Bartholomew Club—Light Blue,l Gold Cross—G. Mitt;

Guy's Club, Second Crew—Lilac, Green Cross.7-4114kingerr
stroke ; 3. Jawet ; 2. Howard ; 1. G. ROA; ; R. Martin,.
coxswain. .7
A very fine start was succeeded by the Academy and Guy'!
rowing away, oar and oar, from the third boat ; the Academy
then drew slightly in advance, and a spirited race followed,
the Academy winning by three parts of a length only.
Second Heat—The Royal Artillery Club, Red.—Harker,,,
stroke ; 3. Radcliffe ; 2. Branding; 1. Thorndike Philpotta,
coxswain.
The Neptune, Light Blue.—J. Walmsley, stroke ;3. W.
Robinson ; 2. G. Palmer ; 1. C. Harrington ; G. Walmsley,
coxswain.
The Thetis Club, Purple.—G. C. Porter, stroke; 3. W. B.
Long ; 2. T. Harrison ; 1. J. Robinson ; Felder, coxswain.
The Artillery, who rowed in a beautiful boat of Mew,s,
Serle's, after a few strokes, ran away with the lead, and won
easily; the other two, in their eagerness for second place,
fouled, and the Neptune came in half a length ahead of the
Thetis. The umpire at first gave his opinion that both were
'disqualified in consequence of the fouling, in which he shared
the blame between them, but as both felt confident of suc-
cess, and " were eager. for the fray," they NandtartecL
together, to determine which should be in the heati..
It was a desperate pull throughout, neither having a decided
lead for the first mile; the -.Neptune then drew a slight heed,
and won by half a length, both crews being very much dis-
tressed.

tinent.

GRAND HEAT.
The Royal Artillery, the Royal Academy, and Barth°lc,-
mews, went away together prettily, and the two first having left their opponent a trifle astern, a very plucky race felj. lowed, the Artillery having the first place, and keeping,
'to
our view of the matter, a better course than their opp,t,,-
ents.
Within half a mile of the winning post the Royal, I.:rtillery
made a pretty spurt, and won by two lengths.

PRINCESS' THEATRE.
A new burlesque extravaganza founded on one of OA mfr_
vellous tales in the Arabian Nights, and entitled .Itiaddin, or
the Wonderful Lamp, was produced last night for The first
time at this theatre. It is from the pen of :kr. A.'Beckett,
and exhibited much splendour and sceni':: erect. The dia-
logue is in rhyme, and is full of points and puns—some of
them good, some bad, and many inditliSient. The adventures
of Aladdin are adhered to in continuouS order. We first see
him dressed in patches, sighlng for the Princess, and up-
braided by his mother for entertaining so hopeless a passion.
The magician enters, aid in the assumed character of his
uncle, persuades Aladdin to accompany him to the rocky
entrance to the cave where the wonderful lamp is deposited.
We then see the trees laden with gems, the genii of the
ring, and the more powerful genii of the lamp, who heap
stores of riches before Aladdin to present as offerings to the
Princess. The palace, built in a night, is presented,
and its flight through the air, and its return,
lighted by blue fire, are duly exhibited. All these
incidents give ample scope to the machinist, the scene
painter; and the property-man to display the ex-
kilt of their resources. The ballet-master, also, aided by the
Worts of Miss Bailin, Mr. Gilbert, and Mr. and Miss Mar-
shall, contributes some very gracefully arranged pus; nor is
music forgotten, several very laughable parodies ueing intro-
duced. A parody on "I know a bank where the wild thyme
grows," to the words " I know a shop where they sell new
clothes," was capitally sung by Mr. Paul Bedford and Mr.
Wright, who were forced to repeat it. It is upon the points
and hits at passing events in the rhyming dialogue that much
stress is evidently laid for success, and the audience received
the jokes with great good humour. One hit at the Post-
office spy system received rounds of applause. Mr. P. Bed-
ford, *Mr. White, Miss E. Stanley, and Madame Sala, per-
sonated the principal personages, and made them as laugh-
ably absurd as any laughter-loving audience could desire.

A smart race, but the winners took the lead almost directly

TRIED HEAT.

so from the other two, but were not able to run away front
them. The first pair made a capital pull of it, and Greens
won by half a length, Red second, Yellow third.

Creek in advance, and maintaining it, won easily. The
George and Rebecca was second.
A scratch match, as it is termed, was then knocked up, as a
finish, but like most scratch matches, it was unworthy of
notice.

We have published this day, at our office, price—but
we will not appeal to the sordidness of our readers—a
sheet of emblematical devices, with mottoes, for Sir

adhesiveness of their gum, are adapted to stick to the
Home Secretary for life.
We have also just dotted off a good stinging envelope,
which we intend to hold up as a mirror to Sir James
Funcl, 6 Graham's wry bad nature.
The following are some of the devices and mottoes :

PENSIONS TO POLICE CONSTABLES.-- Yesterday,
orders were read to the constables at the various police-sta-
tions, in which the Commissioners had granted a pension of
351. a year forlife to Henry Leutchford, 87 L, for injuries re-
ceived in apprehending three desperate burglars. Our readers
may recollect the circumstances, that about a year ago three
desperate housebreakers entered the Old Red Lion, at the
foot of the Surrey side of Westminster-bridge. Leutchford
was stationed at the rear of the house, when he detained two
of the burglars, who were making their escape. One of then
knocked him down, when the other took a knife from hia
pocket, and forced the point under his right eye, and drew it
across his nose, nearly severing it from his head. Other
constables coming up at the time saved his life. He lay in a
dangerous state for some months ; when he recovered, he went.
to Wales at the time of the disturbances, and the injuries be
had received, the Commissioners have considered, render hind
entitled to the above pension. Annetta, 106 L, also had a
pension of 201. a year, for injuries received in the force. toth
