PAUL'S WHARF ROWING MATCH.

Yesterday a handsome wherry, given by the Ladies and
Gentlemen of St. Bennett's, Paul's Wharf, and its vici-
nity, was contested for by six watermen belonging to
Paul's Wharf Stairs, in three heats, the two first boats
in the first and second heats starting for the third
and grand heat. They, had to row from Blsickfriars
Bridge, through the centre arch of Southwark Bridge
twice, and up to the prize wherry, moored off Paul's
Wharf Stairs. They finally came in as follows :—Blue;
first ; Orange, .second ; Green, third ; and Pink, fourth.
Blue was entitled to the boat, and a few pounds were dis-
tributed among the others.

DEAL AND DOWNS REGATTA.
AUGUST 80.-2ND DAY.

The sports of this day excited far greater interest than
those of yesterday. At one o'clock, eleven boats, all from
11.1 to 18 tons burthen, started. It was then blowing a
pretty fresh breeze ; the distance was ten miles, and for
the first three, the little fleet kept close company; they
were then going nearly before the wind, but when it be-
came necessary to tack, three of the boats shot a-head of
the others and exhibited such superiority in sailing close
hauled, as to deprive their competitors of the slightest
chance. The race between the three was extremely inter-
esting, and such was the doubt as to which would win, that
the odds were shifting almost every five minutes. Within a
mile of the goal, and when victory appeared almost certain,
the headmost boat carried away her mast. This accident
excited a lively sensation among the spectators, and many
not acquainted with naval tactics, were quite astonished at
the despatch with which a jury-mast was rigged by the
persons on board.

- The officers of the Russian squadron expressed them-
selves highly gratified by the race. They were not, how-
ever, able to partake of the amusements on shore from the
circumstance of their being under orders to avail them-
selves of the first change in the wind to proceed in their
voyage homeward.
There was a concert in the evening, which was nume-
rously attended--among the fashionables were Lord and
Lady Torrington, and Lady Bloomfield, who, by the bye, has
become quite a favourite with the visitors at Deal during
these sports. Her Ladyship presented the prizes to the vic-
tors after each contest yesterday. Lord Yarborough, Co-
lonel and Mrs. Munro, Captain and Mrs. Pigot, were also
present, as were nearly all the officers of the Ramillies.
Nothing could exceed the polite attention paid by every
officer on board that vessel to the numerous parties, who
visited her since the commencement of the races.
