ROWING MATCH.—The lovers of Aquatic Sportes
were highly gratified yeßerday -.by one of the balk
eonießed Rowing Matches which we witneffect this
fcafon. The delightful keening, and the nunabet of
parties of pleafire going to Vauxhall Gardeoe
wherries, he. very much contributed to the beauty of
the recite. The boat race was for a hirer cup of IL
value, given by. Mr. Nelfon, landlord of the Witsr-'
man's Arms, Staagate, to be rowed for by Gentle-
men's four-aired pleafure boats, in three heats ; at
each heat to hart from Wellrninfter Bridge, go round
a boat mowed Off Cumberland Gardens ; and return
down the Surrey fhor,e, round the Beacon off King's
Arms Stairs, Stangate.
At three o'clock, the five following bleats Ratted,
each being diflinguifhed by their refpeßive colours :
Venus, Arany Green

They Ibewed much (port till they arrived off Cum-
berland Gardens, the fire boats being very clofe, and
fometimes abreall. On their return, the Fame was
Ilati, and confequently not entitled to hart for the

At half pail four, the Venus funny, Diana, Nelfon,
and Venus galley, Ratted for the fccond heat, when
the latter was didanced, the three former coming in
not a boat's length di(lance between them.
At fix o'clock, the three boats which laved diflance
Ratted for the grand and decitive heat, which, in the
opinion of thole (killed in loch amufements, was one
of the heft conteßed heats they ever remember to have
feen. The vklory for fome time was doubtful. The
Venus funny, however, although not the favourite,
proved the conqueror.
The Warehoufe for the (ale of the Yellow Fever
Powders, at Charing Crof., was illuminated on Sa-
turday night, in the fame fuperb Rik of fplendour as
on the three preceding Royal Birth-days. If it were
neceffary to give additional publicity to this valuable
Inflitution, which has been the means of Paving the
lives of thoufands, the put pole was fully anfwered,
as the brilliant and approptiate tafte and elegance dif-
played in honour of his Royal Highnefs the Duke of
Vomit, who has completed the 43d year, keeps pace
with every thing elk done at this Warehoufe.
ONLY 20,000 TICKITE—The (mall quantity of
Tickets in the prefect State Lottery, and the num-
ber and magnitude of the great Prizes as Rated in
the Scheme, has greatly puzzled the dreamers, and
others, who are partial to particular numbers.—
Many have coma from the Bank of England difap-
pointed becaufe they cannot have their %dual favou-
rite number, between so and sy,ooo. The Scheme
has fuck attrattion, and the number of Tickets being
fewer than in any former State Lottery, has created
in the Public, an avidity to purchafe beyond the
• moil fanguine expedition of the Centralist..
