AQUATICS.
MATCH BETWEEN THE ETONIAN EIGHT AND OXFORD-
/MOMS 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 ; 11. 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 gamed 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 boat's
length. The match was beautifully contested by the Eton
crew. From the skill and kcience they .displayed they will
prove dangerous opponents to the youths of Westminster at
their ensuing match.

PRIZE FIGHT' FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE
Liam' Werairrs.—On Tuesday 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 1 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.—O❑ Monday evening
between 7 and 8 o'clock, the following extraordinary accident took
place near Wimbledon.common :—A party left London at an
early hour in the morning for the purpose of proceeding to
Hampton Court Palace, and on the road home, near Wimbledon.
common, the persons in 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 Augusle, Jean Videau, master,
laden with a cargo of wool and linseed, bound to Marseilles from
Trieste, whjch 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 save :t 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 lookout
on the paddle-boxes, but it is much to be feared that the French-
men were napping.

The following horrible suicide is related by the
Courrier de Lyons of the rBth :—" A journeyman shoemaker,
living in the Grande Rue Sainte Catharine in a state of great
poverty, and who had just lost his wife, yesterday iu a fit of
despair threw himself out of a window on the sixth floor, with his
child, four years old, in his arms, They were quit* deed when
they were picked up,"
