ST. OLAVE'S REGATTA.

A scullers' wager took place yesterday, for a prize
wherry, givea by the Ladies and Gentlemen, inhabitants
of St. Olave'a, by six free watermen, in four heats, when
the last and grand heat was decided iu favour of Geo. Sta-
ples (Green). The heats were well contested throughout.

The simultaneous appearance of above 300
vessels in Swansea Bay, on Wednesday morning last,
making down Channel, after a long detention in
port by unpropitious weather and winds, presented to
the beholder a most magnificent spectacle.—Cambrian.

STATE or TRADE.—The cotton yarn market
has very little varied during this month. The sales of
yarn are nearly proportioned to the quantity manufactured,
and there is no heavy stock on hand ; although it is found
difficult to dispose of goods except at too great a sacrifice
of price; and cotton-spinning continues a very profitless
business for the proprietor, barely clearing indispensible
expenses. The'principal demand is confined to the East
India market. The hand-loom weavers have of late been
changing from fine to coarse fabrics. Coarse Lawns, from
H.° to 13°", are in uncommon demand at present, and
within the last fortnight one extensive manufacturing
house has doubted the number of hands employed on such
work.— Glasgow Chronicle.

EXTRAORDINARY TAKE OF HERRINGS.-
On the evening of Friday last, Mr. Jowse Gissom, a
hardy and skilful fisherman belonging to Fisherrow, shot
his nets off Bomer, and took the extraordinary number of
40,000 odd herrings. On reaching shore, he sold his whole
cargo for forty sovereigns ; the herrings being so large that
600 composed a cran, about 66 barrels were taken at this
trip. So large a take at so early a period of the season has
not been known for twenty years.—Scotsnina.

MARGATE JETTY.---A short time since three
gentlemen were taken into custody, and conveyed before a
Magistrate, for having accompanied two aged relations to
the packet, and remained on the Jetty two minutes after
their friends were placed on board. For this offence they
were fined in penalty and costs (under the Margate Pier
Act) 41. 88. 6d.
