.
LERS' MATCH.
The annual match for Lyon's purse of sovereigns, and
other prizes, amongst regular water men, from West.
minster-bridge to Putney, took place yesterday after-
noon, and afforded an opportunity for a display of skill
such as is rarely met with amongst so large a number of
competitors. About a month since lots were drawn for
the chance of rowing in this interesting match, and
amongst others the two Doubledays were the successful
candidates, but in consequence ore match being made by
Parish, to row the Newcastle-on-Tyne crew, on Satur-
day next, and these men, together with Coombes and
Newell, forming that crew, the,- two former were com-
pelled to withdraw, and the men -named to row to-day
were therefore, its under :
Charles Hill, white; George Campbell, blue; William
Pocock, green ; Thomas Brabant, yellow ; William
illectalr, pink ; John Phelps, red ; Robert Young,
tri-colour. •
Half-past four was the time named for the start, and
long before that time Westminster-bridge, Bishop's-
walk, and every place from which a view could be
obtained, presented a good display of anxious spec-
tators, and at four o'clock the cutter boats belonging to
the Guards, Westminster, Leander, King's College,
St. George's, and other clubs, made their ap-
pearance at the scene of action ; altogether, the
muster on the river was most respectable. At
the appointed time the wager men were at their
respective stations, and the start took place at
twenty minutes to five, all the parties- dashing
off at excellent speed—White taking the lead to Vaux-
hall, which bridge he passed through half a boat's length
in advance, closely fbllowed by red, green being. imme-; •
diately on his quarter; the other four boats b:ing well to-
gether. The match at this time was particularly interest-
ing ; the wind was blowing fresh, in consequence of which
white began to fall astern, and wis passed by red and
green, and closely pressed by blue. Green, off the Red-
hous.., in the shoot, passed red, and became the first boat,
and in that position arrived at Putney-bridge,
closely followed by red. The match between white
(Charles II 11) and blue (George Campbell) was a
most interesting one, the two boats not being half a
length from etieh otowr from the lied House to Putney.
The rowing was excellent througaout, and the .men
arrived in the foliowing order.:—Pocock, first ; Phelps,
second ; Hill, third ; Campbell, fourth ; .Itetcalf, fifth ;.
Young. sixth ; and Brahant last. 'llw wind blew very
fresh at Chelsea Reach, and a boat, rowed by a gentle-
nun, was filled with water and suak,,the amateur being
pick.:4 up by a cutter passing.

COMPROMISE COMMITT;LE.
SOUTHAMP ros.

The Committee met at the usual hour, the lion. J. S
Wortley in the Chair.
Henry /larding was called and examined :—Voted at
the last election for Hutchins and Mangles. Knows.
Robert Donkin, a tailor, of Southampton. Ho is a re-
lation of witness. Ho came to witness at his father's
house, and pulled out a number of sovereigns, and said
to him, " Will you came with me 7" Witness's motner
pushed him away, and. desired l)onkin not to corrupt
him. He voted out of a house in Gloucester square.
Mr. HEARN—ind you state at the election that you
were possessed of the same qualification out of which

you were registered ?
The witness having refused to answer, the room was
cleared, and the Committee decided he was bound to
answer upon the question put to him at the election.

The witness then stated that he had said he was pos-
sessed of the same qualification.
_ _

Mr. W. Fall exatllined—ls a banker, of Southampton,
and a magistrate of Hants. There were accounts kept
with the bank fur several electors. The witness pro-
duced the accounts, which corresponded exactly with
those handed in by Mr. Lankester. Has no doubt that
gross and extensive bribery has been practised at the
last election. Believes it has been practised at the mu-
nicipal elections. The municipal elections have an effect
on the Parliamentary elections ; and treating and ow-
ruption applied in the municipal, would have an indiract
influence on the Parliamentary elections. He heard an
officer of the Corporation confess that he offered five
" yellow boys " to a voter, to be neutral. He resolved
not to interfere in elections any more, because he could
not do so without being cognisant of corrupt practices.
Unless measures were taken to prevent them, he believed
the same practices would be resorted to. Believes the
signature " A. Abrahams," in the memorandum book,
to be the hand-writing of Mr. Abrahams. He was Mr.
Abrahams' banker for some time. Never had any diffe-
rence with Mr. Abrahams.

To the COMMITTEE—BeIiere3 that if bribery was ren-
dered more easily discoverable, and colourmen and
chairmen were puc down, it would tend to put an end to
corrupt practices.
Mr. BAKER informed the Committee that all the wit-
nesses for whom he obtained summonses were now cx-

:trained, and it wculd be for the Committee to say whe-
ther they required any more.
The CHAIRMAN said that at present he did not see
th,we was any necessity for summoning more witnesses.
Mr. Laishley was- then called and examined by Mr.
HEARN.—The signature, "A. Abrahams," in the me-
morandum7book was very like the handwriting of Mr.
Abrahams ; he would not say it was.
Mr. Cottrell was called.—lle did not believe the sig-
natare was that of Mr. Abrahatns.

Mr. Madison was called.—Knows Mr. Abrahams. He
had an account in his (witness's) bank. Never saw the
memorandum-book spok.n of in the course of the in-
quiry ; believes the signature "A. Abrahams" is not
Mr. Abrahams' handwriting ; is in the habit of seeing
him write dai!y.

To Mr. BAKER—Thinks the signature is not like Mr.
Abrahams' handwriting ;. he would not pay a cheque on
the signature ; it is en imitation ; he saw traces of the
signature of Mr. Abrahams before ; it was about ten
days ago ; Mr. Knight showed them to him ; did not
know for what purpose they were shown ; did not know
it was in refl.mtio; to this inquiry they were shown ; the

inquiry was then going on. Jae 300/. in the bank
account of the date 4th of June was the :same in his
opinion with the 3004 of the 261 h. The election Con-
Nervative fund of 1837 wa,. 3.1801.

Mr. Marti.,eau stated that Mr. Mackay applied to
him to be examined before the late Committee in contra-
diction to Wren's statements.

Mr. Page stated that Wren 'told him, after the late
Election Committee, he had cases of direct bribery
against Mr. Deacon and Mr. Abrahams.
Mr. HEARN said, these were the only witnesses he
would produce, but Mr. Dottin, who was for many
years Member for Southampton, was in the room, and
he could be examined if Mr. Baker wished.

Mr. BAKER had no wish on the subject.
The room was then cleared, and when the parties
were admitted it was announced that the Committee
would adjourn till three o'clock on Friday.

MOVEN' MARKET and CITY NEWS.
TIMES.—A fair amount of business was done to-day in
the foreign exchanges. The rates upon Paris and Amsterdam
remained the same as last post, and on Hamburgh they were a
trifle higher.
The premium on gold at Paris is 9 per mile, which,
at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 106 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 38, and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25 476, it follows,
that gold is 0.38 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hatnburgh the price of gold is 429 i per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10%d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 7i, and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 Bi, it
follows that gold is 0.69 per cent. dearer in London than in
Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London is 1071
per cent., and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is 2.32. per cent. against England. But the quoted
exchange at New y„rk, being for bills at 60 days' sight, the
interest must be deducted from the above difference.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SO-
CIETY OF ENGLAND.

BRISTOL, TUESDAY A FTE ANOON. —The friends of agri-
culture had to congratulwe themselves upon the beautiful and
ver7 'promising weather in which they assembled to celebrate
their anniversary meeting. To the extremely tine weather,
perhaps, in some degree is to be ascribed the continual influx of
visitors into the city, which, if the arrivals equal in number
those that have already taken place, bids very fair to increase
its population by at least 10,000 souls by to-morrow afternoon.
The trains, both from London and the west, have been very
heavy since yesterday morning, and the various stage coaches
yet on the road have nut had so merry a time of it for many a
long day. At the hotels there is not a bed to spare, and their
charges have consequently gone up more rapidly than South Sea
Stock ever rose. Ina city nun.bering about 10,000 houses, a bed
fit to sleep in, at a decent distance from the Post-office, is not to
be had for less than hal•a-guinea. I have no doubt that by to-
morrow afternoon their value will have become more respect-
able by at 'vast 50 per cent.
The arrivals of cattle have been very numerous to-day, and
the leading thoroughfares between the city and the show.yard
have been densely thronged as well by the town,people, as by
thou who have bu..iness with the Council sitting at the Victoria
Rooms, adjacent to the show•yard. The exhibition of cattle
will, I understand, be superior to the exhibition at Liverpool
and Cambri
