ROWING MATCH FOR 100 SOVEREIGNS.

The great rowing wager between Charles West wood and Castles,
the best watermen on the Riier, took place yesterday, amidit a
great number of bums; every admirer of aquatic spot ts, considered
himself obliged to be present. The Noblemen and Gentlemen who
usually make a dash in their eight-oared galleys and cutters were
not absent on the occasion.

The men having taken their stations at Westminster-bridge,
started at a quarter to three, with the tide. Westwood rowed in a
tine boat named the Sovereign, and Castles in a light wherry, which
had won several prizes. At Lambeth-stairs, Westwood was three,
boats' length a-head ; at Vauxhall-bridge the head of Castles' boat
touched his stern. At the Red Goose, Westwood still kept the
'ead, and those who had betted on Castles gave up their hope of
winning. After a most admirable trial of skill and strength, during
which, however, Castles had no chance of success, Westwood
darted first through Putney-bridge. and having gained the distance
won the prize, said to be 100 sovereigns.
The bets said to be made on this wager amounted to 5,0001.—
Upon the whole this may be called a good match ; the men per-
formed the distance in about 41 minutes. Castles, it will be recol-
lected, was the challenger. Westwood was escorted in precession
to the Star and Garter at Putney, where a company of 50 sat down
to dinner, while Castles went down the river in a four-oared cutter.
The river was covered with ten, eight, and four-oared cotters.

MR. GREEN'S 21ST )ERIAL VOYAGE.-As soon as the
Races were ended on Thursday, Mr. GREEN ascended
from the factory yard, Warwick, unaccompanied, and
continued in sight for a long time; and descended
safely in a field, in the occupation of Mr. Cnosnv,
about a quarter of a mile from Rugby, and went to the
Spread Eagle in that town ; and about nine o'clock he
set off for Warwick.

The results of a scorching sun in travelling, are fre-
quently subversive of female comfort and attraction, by generating
a tanned skin, parched lips, and an unpleasant heat and roughness,
and signalizing a prominent feature of an otherwise beautiful coun-
tenance with unseemly redness. To successfully oppose these inno-
vations, the Ladies have a powerful friend in the recently discovered
cosmetic, ROWLAND'S &fast:gm, which precludes all disorders
io disfiguring beauty, rendering the skin delightfully cool and
pleasant.—To Gentlemen, ROWLAND'S Kalydur will be found an in-
fallible specific in allaying the smarting irritability of the face, and
will render shaving, heretofore a painful, now a pleasurable opera-
tion. That the Kalydor elicits these felicitous results, one trial will
suffice to prove, and satisfactorily establish its reputation.—Prepared
