harbours, and fishing-grounds around Ireland has been for some
time going on under the auspices .f the Commissioners of Irish
Fisheries. Among other particulars nowt° be made public by this
survey, is the bank on which the Burford man-of-War was
wrecked in 1780,which, though it lies across the mouth of Dub-
lin Bay, has never been described on any chart, has lately been
eximined, sounded all over, and laidlaiddown. The bank is situ-
ated in the line between Dublin bar and the Kish, four and a
half sea miles S.E. per compass from Peolbome light, from one
and three quarters to three and a quarter miles S. from the
Bailey light. The Kish light has been frequently shifted, hut
at present it is about the distance of three miles to the S.E.
The bank is one mile and three-quatters long, and one quarter or
more broad, with 16 feet at least of water, it is composed of fine
sand. On the shallowest part, Carrigalligan-hill is on with the
tower of Dalkey Island, when the stake of Ireland's Eye is in
sight, you are outside the hank, and when the new Bailey light
is oa with the old light, you are inside. We believe that one of
the frigates of the Itoyal Squadron touched this bank, and Cap-
tain FITEMOIMLS of the Navy has been *eat specially, we under-
stand, to survey it. —nubile Amnia'.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT HEATH RACES.- -THIRD DAY, JUNE 6.

To the lovers of excellent spart, and to the admirers of all that
is splendid, elegant, gay, and joyous, the Race Course this day
presented a treat of the highest possible order. It seemed as
though it was an understood thing that yesterday should be a
day of rest in order that the amusements of this day might be
enjoyed with the greater zest. Windsor, and all the adjacent
towns and villages were nearly emptied of their visitants and in-
habitants by ten o'clock in the morning, although the sports of
the Heath do not commence until past one. The Metropolis
too, sent forth its share of gay visitors, and the road from Lon-
don was crowded the whole of the morning with bareuches and
four, landaus and pairs, curricles, postchaists, tilhuries, dennets,
gigs, buggies, spring-carts, and every other species of vehicle,
even to the humble drag and Jerusalem ponies of the•Tothill.
fields tooter-mongers. The dust was exceedingly plentiful, but
the heat was less oppressive than on either of the preceding days.
The Course, by twelve o'clock, was filled in every part with
company of the gayest order. It was surrounded with rows,
twenty deep at least, of carriages, filled principally with the
highest order of company, while the Betting and other Stands
en each side were equally weal filled with all the great sporting
men of the day. Betting upon all. the races ran uncommonly
high during the whole morning.
At a quarter past one o'clock, two of his Majesty's out-riders
rode up to the entrance at the back of the Royal Stand, and in
a few moments the Kum himself arrived, In a plain carriage and
four, without guard. His Maasarr proceeded immediately to
the grand apartment up stain, and made his appearance at the
window. He was recognized instantly by the immense crowd
of people, who had been for some time anxiously watching his
arrival, and was greeted with a burst of applause which lasted for
some minutes with little cessation, and which his BIAJESTY
acknowledged by bowing repeatedly in his usual graceful and
affable manner. His Maarairr was dressed in a plain brown
surtout with fur collar, and wore a plain round hat, and white
gloves. His Royal Highness the Doke of Yoas arrived from
Oatlands, about ten minutes before one, on horseback, accom-
panied only by a single servant. He wore a green turf coat, and
looked uncommonly well. Among the distinguished personages
who arrived in the course of the day, and entered the Royal
Stand, were—The Prince and Princess ESTRRHARY, the Bake
of Dosser, the Marquis CONYNGUAM, Earl and Countess of
HARCOURT, Earl ROSLYN, Sir EDMUND NACLI, aCe. The
Duke of DORSET came in the carriage with the Kota, as did Sir
EDMUND NAOLL We never saw his MAJIISTI look better, or
seem in better spirits than he did to-day. lie appeared highly
to enjoy the gay scene before him. And well he might, for it is
impossible to imagine a more splendid coup d'ceil than the Race
Course presented about the time of his arrival.

PEDESTRIANISM.
Saturday, a man named Daniel Hutton, who professed to
have beaten the great crack pedestrians of the day, commenced
a feat an Lincoln Race-course, of running fifty miles in seven
hours and a half. He began at ten o'clock in the forenoon, half
a mile out and in, and actually accomplished, within the given
time, his prodigious, though futile and frivolous task, which was
not for any wager, but solely to raise the wind. Some five shil-
lings, it is believed, was the amount of money collected for the
poor fellow, who, deducting the expense of his resting, must
have sneaked nut of Lincoln as poor as he sneaked in.
Thursday se'nnight, at Rye, In Sussex, a foot race was run
between Edward Rayner, the Kentish pedestrian, and James
Betteridge, the Berkshire runner,who were matched to run ten
miles over a one-tulle piece of ground, fora purse of ten guineas.
They started about six o'clock in the evening, at full speed, in
the presence of a great number of spectators, amidst the shouts
of " Berkshire for ever !" The first mile was run in five minutes
and 25 seconds : Betteridge about ten yards behind, and betting
three to two on Rayner. The next mile was run in five minutes
and 52 seconds, Betteridge the same distance behind. The third
mile was run in five minutes and 44 seconds. Rayner 12 yards
,behind. The fourth mile Rayner was 20 yards behind, and five
to three on Betteridge. The first five miles was run by Bet-
teridge in 47 minutes, Rayner 100 yards behind, when he broke
down, in great perspiration. Betteridge went on, and com-
pleted the ten miles in one hour and 50 seconds. The purse was
delivered to Betteridge, at the George Inn, Rye, by the Chair-
man, in the presence of 100 gay sportsmen, amidst three loud
cheers. A subscription was immediately entered into, and
parted between the winner and loser. Rayner acknowledged
that he lost against his will ; and that Betteridge was the best
runner that he had ever started with.

Simpson, the person who started on the Newcastle race-ground
on Monday week, to walk 26 miles in 24 hours, took suddenly
ill on the Tuesday morning, at 20 minutes past six, after com-
pleting sixty-two miles and three-quarters. It is supposed some
deleterious drug had been infused into his tea by some person in-
terested in his failure. Bets were greatly in his favour, aed he
purposes to complete the task when he is recovered. A number
of tents were erected on the ground ; and in order that there
might be something to attract the holiday folks, a young man,
named was prevailed on to start at twelve at noon,
to walk forty miles in ten hours, which he completed 37 minutes
within the time, although he rested above an hour.
BOXING EXTRAORDINARY!
One evening last vvik, a number of females assembled in a
field at Gateshead, Newcastle upon-Tyne, to witness the prowess
of a Pipewellgate girl and one from Sandgate, who bad differed
respecting a young Strephon. The combatants, however, did not
appear " eager tor the fray !" and the two parties kept at a re-
pectful distance, waging a war of words. This tenee:l t i.icrease
their numbers, and among the rest came a young man who made
himself very busy in endeavouring to promote the combat. Ills
conduct gave great offence to the females, and half a doien of
them setting on him, they tore his coat to pieces, and gave him a
good heating, to the merriment of all present. The boxing match
was then postponed sine die. "
Yesterday Idin Kendrick (the black) of boxing notoriety, was
charged at Queen square Office with milling Thomas Feethey, (a ,
hackney-coachman), and Caleb Baldwin, jun.—Feethey stated,
that he and the son of Caleb Baldwin, the old pugilist and bull-
hanker, were in the Almonry, Westminster, on the preceding
night, and were conversing with a very modest young woman,
When .Vaasa Kendrick came up to them, seized him (witness)
by the neckerchief, and, with a powerful turn of his wrist, nearly
strangled him, contrary to the rules of fair boxing. Young. Mr.
Caleb Baldwin immediately came to his assistance, but Kendrick
instantly floored him, and when the watchmen came up to quell
the row, the name of Kendrick operated on them like a charm—
they all stood motionless—not one of them daring to attack hint,
and he threatening to amhsh every Charley that came within his
reach. Ile was, however, eventually overpowered, and carried
to the watch-house. In his defence he pleaded his strung affec-
tion for the lady with whom he found Feethey and Baldwin in
conversatlon.—The assault was proved, and he was ordered to
find bail, to answer the complaint at the Westminster &Astons.

SHARK SHOOTING!
An immense large Mork was observed last week off Cal-hot
Castle, by Mr. Barter, Master of the Canteen there, who was
in his boat at the time. He instantly rowed on shore, and hay-
ing procured a musket, with some ball cartridges„ again put off
to the spot. The monster " shew'd fight," and darted with
great velocity towards the boat, when Mr, B. discharged the
piece. On receiving the contents, the shark made off, but almost
immediately returned, and with his tremendous jaws wide open,
attacked the boat, and received a second shot near the shoulders,
which caused it a second time to disappear ; but it came up again
in about seven or eight minutesoo all appearance in a distressed
state. The effect of the first shot was visible on its belly, it
having gone quite through, and the blood discolouring the water.
On a third shot being fired, it went down, and was seen no more.
It is conjectured that the fish was from 14 to 16 feet in length.

There will be a conjunction of Venus and Saturn
early next Tuesday morning, when they will so nearly
approximate as to appear to the eye not more than
about 12 Minutes of a degree apart.
The Bath Ca=lte says—" Mr. Hunt has ordered half a ton of
his famous breakfast powder, packed in half-pounds, to be sent as
his subscription for the relief of the suffering Irish : 5 cwt. has
been shipped for Cork, and 5 cwt. for Limerick. This will
afford three meals a day for a week, to 2240 persons, at a half-
pound each."
A melancholy occurrence, at the Trout Tavern, near Stokes
Croft, Bristol, took place on Thur:Jay se'nnight,when upon sum-
moning the brewer to his dinner, it was discovered that be had
fallen into the boiling liquor, and was totally lifeless.
Sunday se'nnight, as a yawl from Pill was going down Chan.
nel, with the intent of meeting vessels coming in, a heavy gale
blowing at the time from the westward, a sea struck her off Per-
tiskead Point, when she Immediately filled and went down, and
out of a crew of five persons only one was saved. The names
of the unfortunate sufferers were Henry Corps, an old Boa,
between 60 and 70 years of age; Hall, Bullock, and
Lane. Hall and lane have left wives and families, who en-
tirely depended upon them for support.
