Putney, between Messrs. Revell and Howard and Messrs. Weedon atut
Wingfield, the latter gentlemen betting 2b son. to 20. At the start.

however, being clear of one another, they continued the race up to t:.
Penitentiary, where sonic more fouling took place; and after a
struggle, Mena. Revell and Howard got in advance, coming tbrou•;if

Weedon. The former gentlemen continued to lead up to Batterse.
Church, when the latter came up, and, after a slight struggle, ge;.
them the go-by; it was then thought that the wager was won, iv..
asmuch as Messrs. Wecdon and Wingfield were three boats' le.nplis
a-head off Wandsworth Distillery, but the known game and constita.
tion of Mr. Revell, who towed the labour, enabled them to clase with
their opponents within 100 yards of the bridge, and after some
to the surprise of all, ;Messrs. Revell and Howard popped ti: ova
their boat through the bridge three feet in advance of the :Alter gent:.

A more severe wager was never witnessed. Messrs. Revell and Howard
rowed in a new boat, the property of W. Layton, Esq. built by Mom

EXTRAORDINARY AND MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEAR-

ANCE OF A LADY.

During the last week considerable curiosity has been exeird at
West end of the town, particularly amongst the fashionable sa:rl,",
consequence of a hand-bill having been circulated offering a res.:oil
501. to any person who should discover the retreat of a lady, of %Otos
person and dress a lull description was given. The following he-ts
this mysterious case are furnished by u gentleman on whom we CM rd
During last summer, Sir. a gentleman of fortune, took up "s
residence, with his wife and family, at Havre-de-Grace. About SIT.
tember last Mr. M. had occasion to come to London on important hu.
sinews, and soon after his arrival in this metropolis, Mrs. 111. the lair
who has disappeared in such a mysterious manner, and who remain,:
at Havre-de-Grace, received an anonymous letter informing her the:
her husband was carrying on an intrigue with a lady in London.
Other letters followed, and Mrs. M. began to be alarmed, and di ter.
mined to satisfy her doubts. She arrived in town on Tuesday. tee
12th of October, and proceeded to an hotel in Piccadilly, where sh.
was to get her information but there was no person there to mut
her, and from all inquiries it appeared to be nothing more
than a hoax. She immediately proceeded to a quiet hotel
in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket, with the intarier,
of leaving town the following morning. She employed ha.
self in writing the greater part of the evening, and sent sA
a large packet to the Foreign Office. The next morning she sent out
in a hackncy.coach to the Southampton coach-office, and afterward,
drove to the Brunswick Hotel, in Jermyn-street ; there a servant, nr:
belonging to the hotel, put a note into her hand, and disappeared. Mt..
M..-- immediately drove to the hotel where she had slept on the p:,
vious evening, and having changed her dress, drove to the Refer:'.
Park, about half-past 11 o'clock, where she was met by a lady, wit,
called herself Mts. Pearce; she was in a carriage painted blue, lined
with crimson, attended by servants in green liveries, turned up with
red. Mrs. was requested to enter the carriage; and, after driv-
ing about the Park for some times, the carriage entered the main r0ad.....
So far the lady has been traced, after the greatest exertions ; but.
although every endeavour has been used to discover her retreat, it has
been unavailing. Mrs. M.—. is about 24 years of age, and of great
personal beauty and accomplishments; her family are of the first respec.
tability, and there is no suspicion of infidelity on her part. There is
reason to believes that this lady has been basely inveigled away
from her family at Havre-de-Grace, and entrapped into the hands of .s
certain party, well known for his gallantries, and that she is at preset
under restraint...Sum:lay Timer
