ROCHESTER ELECTION.

The sudden retirement of Mr. Hughes Hughes from hit canvass
occasioned a great deal of surprise to the electors, se, up to the last
moment, that gentleman, verbally and by placard, had announced
his.intention to maintain a contest. A suspicion had very generally
gone abroad that Mr. Hughes was coquetting between the two
boroughs of Rochester and Oxford, and it had beendeemcd athuable
to obtain that gentleman's complete denial of such intention. The
secret, however, came out gn the day of nomination ; a new oppo-
nent, in the person of John Mills, Esq. havitag in the meantime
come for card.
At tan o'clock the Mayor, Charles Bathurst, llsq., entered the
Ilall, and the usual formalities having been concluded, Mr. svmap.
MAN begged to untilinate Ralph Bernal, Esq. as a fit and proper
person to represent the City of Rochester in l'ailianont
Pittorict, Esq., seconded the nomination.

Admiral Sir Jott:e 00RE said the party he was about to nomi-
nate was a young nobleman of birth. wealth. and education. and en-
dowed with an amiable mind and heart. His political life would
dawn under their auspices, and by the intcrest he must take in their
individual interems, would materially tend to benefit the city of
Rochester. Ile begged to ncminase Lord Viscount Villiers.
J. SCHNIYIBLI.LIE, Esq. proposed }John Mils. Esq. as an indi-
vidual who would oppose useltss expenditure, and advocate tempt.
rare rt form.

W. NtemoLsow, F.sq. seconded the nomination.
Mr. C. I.aitatic was (litipmed toadl upon the Candidates fur au
avowal as to their sentiments upon reduction of taxation and unne.
eessary expenditure, including the abolition of all useless offices,
and with ascertaining their views as to 'Worm in the House of
Parliament.

Mr. itERNAL dared any nuns to some him to his face of
having been intlu,nced by petty moires, or having been
limited by 1.4 Wail views, in giving his Tote on any question.

GRAND ANNUAL. CONTRST FOR DOGGETT•S kA
AND BADGE.

The annual contest for the coat and badge, and other prize be,
qucathed by Doggett, the celebrated comedian, took place ve-trr.
day ; and although the attunthisice of amateurs was not so numetot
on the Het r as on former occasions, the bridges and the bank.
the Thamtm were crowded. to witness the young aspirants prore.,l
toward:. the goal. Prom about 200 watinnen who have nut lotr
above our year out of their apprenticeship (and not those who hate
entered the last year of their apprenticeship, as several of our to.-
temporaries have it), the undermentioned became entitled to conictot
for the prize, and they yesterday evening took their respective at..
thins from off the Old Swan Stairs, at London-bridge, as follow,. : -
Smith. Shadwell-dock Lewis.... Foitinain-ataip,
thal•rey Old Swan.stairs Po -knell.. Horalydown
Butler Vauxhall Conhon.....Blackfriarts.

The tide at the time was running down rapidly. there beit.g
nearly " a dead poser" for the competitors to contend against.
the 34nel-being given the six went away in good order,and although
the odds were in favour of Smith, the below bridge man, it aus
difficult to say which had the advantage it starting. e•irer tin
two last contentions there has been a difference of opinion as to
the Surrey or the Illiddksex shore being the brat for the resent, and
in consequence of one of the competitors last year "cutting off" his
opponents by proceeding along the former, Smith end Lewis, in..
mediately after starting, pulled over to Banksitle, wnile the other
four rowed up the eddy or Filitldlest x side. In coining more up t►e
river, Cannon was taking the lead, but Butler shortly went by him
and kept the advantage the entire distat•ee. (iNitrey ‘,. kb third. hut
Pocknell passim him, and the former *suede a long shoot tovoards
Thames-street stairs, and rut two or three of them off, and became
again the third. followed by Pecktiell, Small, and Lewis. Pocksell,
(41' Bankside, touched Godfrey on the quarter, turned him mond.
end he went totally in the rear; and Smith, who was fifth men.
became third. Godfrey, however. went to work, and headed Peck.
nelL t ,ff King's Anne Stairs. Cannon, owing so a 'wiliest& his
arm, was obliged to give in, and Godfrey consequently took his
place as second. Several interesting changes then occurred Intwelen
the second, third, and fourth boats, and they arrived, amidst a very
heavy atoms of hail and rain, at Chelsea. as follows :—Butise dem,
who claimed ske coat and badge; Smith second, who received dl.
7s. 6d. and Godfrey third, who was entilLd to 12‘.111d. Lewis,
Pockncll, said Cannon. mute its worth. Usk and sixth.
