AQUATICS.
MATCH BETWEEN THE ETONIAN EIGHT AND OXFORD-
ROOMS CREWS.—This match, which has always been looked
forward to with considerable interest, in consequence of the
Etonian crew being the eight selected to compete with West-
minster School in the course of the ensuing month, came off
on the evening of Saturday last ; the portion of the Thames
selected for this display of aquatic skill being from Datchett-
bridge to Old Windsor Lock, a distance of about two miles.
A great number of persons were present to witness the match.
The Etonian eight were—Winter, stroke ;Richards, 7 ; Ad-
lington, 6 ; H. Luttrell, 5 ; Talfourd, 4 ; G. Luttrell, 3; Tre-
mayne, 2; and Ethelstone, bow; Shaw Stewart officiating
as the steerer. The Etonians took the lead at starting, but
were shortly afterwards gained upon by the Oxonians, and
both were boat and boat for upwards of a mile and a half.
The Oxonians, by their superior strength and weight, then
drew a little ahead, and won the race by only half a 13:at's
length. The match was beautifully contested by the Eton
crew. From the skill and science they displayed they will
prove dangerous opponents to the youths of Westminster at
their ensuing match.

PRIZE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP or 'rim
LIGHT WElGllTS.—Yesterday a fight between Young Reid, of
London, and Paddy Gill, of Coventry, took place near the village
of Eansham, about six miles beyond Oxford. It excited unusual
interest amongst "the milling circles," on account of the great
fistic reputation of the combatants, and because it involved the
championship of the light weights and a stake of 2001. Reid was the
favourite at 2 to I before the battle begun, but after the first round
odds were betted on his adversary. The fight lasted one hour and
twenty minutes, Gill invariably taking the lead, and having de-
cidedly the best of the contest except in two rounds. Reid's
courage never failed him, but his science proved of no avail against
the straightforward hitting of Gill, who was the stronger man, and
41b. the heavier of the two. The result has proved a sad blow and
great discouragement to the London school, and its supporters have
lost large sums by the defeat of their favourite.
A PLEASURE VAN ON FIRE.—On *Monday evening-
between 7 and S o'clock, the following extraordinary accident took
place near Wimbledon-common :—A party left London at an
early hour in the morning fur the purpose of proceeding to
Hampton Court Palace, and on the road home, near Wimbledon.
common, the persons its the van were suddenly alarmed by a suf-
focating smoke which was issuing from a quantity of straw at the
bottom of the van. Their screams caused the driver to stop the
horses, and some scrambled out of the windows, whilst others
made a precipitate retreat from behind. By the time the van was
empty it was discovered that the whole of the straw at the bottom
of the vehicle was on fire, which had communicated with the
woodwork. The fire was ultimately extinguished with several
pails of water, and the party returned home without further
danger. The accident is supposed to have originated by one of
the passengers dropping a portion of lighted tobacco.
DISASTER AT SEA.—Her Majesty's steam-packet
Polyphemus, Lieut. Spark, R.N., Commander, when on her pas.
sage to Malta from Marseilles, with the Overland India mail from
England, had the misfortune, in lat. 37 deg. 10 min. N., and lon. 11
deg. 10 min. E., on the morning of Sunday, the 13th of July, to
run down the French brig Charles Auguste, Jean Videau, master,
laden with a cargo of wool and linseed, bound to Marseil'es from
Trieste, which port she had left on the 11th of June. Although
blowing very hard at the time, with a heavy sea running, the
officers and crew of the steamer saved all hands (eleven in number)
from a watery grave, and landed them at Malta on the following
morning. The French vessel, which was lying to at the time, sank
almost instantly. No blame whatever attaches to the steamer, which
had her lights burning, and the usual watch on deck and 100k-out
on the paddle-boxes, but it is much to be feared that the French-
men were napping.
WOOLWICH DOCKYARD.—The workmen employed
yesterday in digging for the foundations of the roof to be erected,
at an expense of about 6,0001., over the slip from which the Chi-
chester, 50-gun ship,, was launched last year, turned up a great
number of bones and pieces of wood, and found several coffin
plates, whose preservation must have been owing to the thickness
of silver with which they had been coated. The ground now ap-
propriated for the east part of the dockyard appears to have formed
a portion of the churchyard of the parish of Woolwich, and the
place of interment must have been much larger than it is at pre..
sent, although the population has increased to a considerable extent
compared with what it used to be.
IMPUDENT CARRIAGE ROBBERY IN REGENT-
STREET.—Yesterday afternoon an impudent carriage robbery was
committed by some expert thieves in Regent-street. Some ladies
had been making purchases of silks and other valuable articles,
which were in parcels, placed on the seat of an open carriage, and
during the time the ladies were making other purchases in a shop,
some adroit thief opened the carriage door, unobserved by the
coachman or footman, both of whom were on the coach. box.
When the ladies returned to the carriage they found, to their dis-
may, their valuable purchases had been stolen.
LONDON AND WINDSOR DIRECT RAILWAY.—
Yesterday, a meeting of tile Committee, consisting of Captain
Forbes (in the chair), Captain Seymour, Messrs. Clarke, Bed-
borough, Sharman, Barton, Berridge, sen., and Roberts, who were
appointed at a full assemblage of the inhabitants, held at the
Towa-ball Windsor, for the purpose of forwarding a memorial to
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, praying that they would
endeavour to obtain the sanction of the Crown for a railway to
pass over the royal property in the immediate vicinity of Windsor,
took place in the Council Chamber. The letter received from
the Woods and Forests, in answer to the memorial of the
inhabitants, and to the request of the Committee to be per-
mitted to wait on the Commissioners as a deputation, for the
purpose of snore fully detailing the views of the memorialists,
and pointing out the advantages the town would derive by a direct
rai;way to London, having been read by the Chairman, in which
it was stated that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests declined
to recommend her Majesty to give her sanction to the Crown
prcperty in the immediate vicinity of the Castle being interfered
with by a railway, it was resolved unanimously that another letter
should be written to the Board, again urgently soliciting that
they would consent to receive a deputation from the Committee,
and at an early period, in order that they might be put in posses_
sion of every circumstance connected with the proposed undertaking.
An application having been made by a member of the Committee,
on the part of the press, for a copy of the letter received by the
Chairman (Captain Forbes) from the Woods and Forests, it was
negatived.

...WINDSOR, JULY 21.—This morning Sir Charles
