Yesterday the annual boat-race, for the Coat and
Badge, took place on the River Thames. At half.
past seven o'clock six wherries started, routed by an
equal number of young watermen, who had just
served out the term of their apprenticeship. The
distance was from the Old Swan at London Bridge,
to the Swan at Chelsea, rowing against the tide.
At starting, Faftson of Bankside, took the lead, and
kept it ; Donn, of Hungerford, followed ; and HAY.
'LEI, of the Tower, was the third boat. On their ar-
rival off Westminster, the last boat (of the six) re-
signed the contest. FARSON decided the match with
ease, being considerably a-head when he arrived at
the winning post. The successful competitor had to
boast of every advantage I he was tall and athletic;
and his boat was a new one, and likewise one of slid
best on the River. The day was fine, and ai,Yrecibiy;
cool. The spectators were more numerous than at
any preceding exhibition of the kind during the whole
of the season. In happiness and harmony Ole even-
ing Wad passed by all the parties concerned.

Nene of the bodies of Mr. NEviowo his son, or the
waterman, drowned on Saturday in passing through
London-bridge,were found at a late hour last evening.
• Thursday afternoon, as Matthew Viney, a youth
between 17 and 18 years of age, was fishing for eels
in the River Stour, about halt a mile below Ford.
with, he stink in a deep hole called Park Dyke, anti
was unfortunately drowned.

A few days ago J. Moorehead, of Ballinacard, near
Broughshane, took three ounces of saltpetre supposing
it to be salts; and the unfortunate man, after suffer.
ins; live hours excruciating pain, breathed his last.
He was in the vigour of life, and has lett a widow
and five children to deplore his loss. —A woman
named Thompson had nearly shared the fate of Mr.
Moorehead : she took a considerable quantity of salt-
petre, and soon after vomited blood ; she is now,
however, in a state of recovery.
• The following recipe has, in many instances, spee-
dily cured the hooping•cough : rake a wine-glass of
rum, and two-pennyworth of spirits of turpentine,
shake them well to-gether, and rub the child by the
fire, gently down the neck and chin, night and morn-
ing. In a few days the cough wilt be cured.
