ROWING MATCH.

118

A very interesting Rowing Match, for twenty sovereigns, took
place on Saturday, between Messrs. Bartleman and Robinson, and
Messrs. Gilchrist and Nolan, in skiffs. The former rowed in blue,
and the latter In scarlet. It was from Mil!bank to a boat moored
nearly off Isleworth Church. Blue led, but they passed through
Putney-bridge abreast, and it was a most excellent race to Chiswick,
when Blue began to steal ahead, and the starboard oar of Scarlet
seemed to tire. Blue continued to gain, and won the match by
nearly half a mile.

A letter from an American Gentleman at Curacoa.
dated the 2211 of. July, referring to the discovery of the new
gold mine at Aruba, says—" Since I have been in this Island,
scarce three weeks, upwards of 150,000 dollars in value, of
purevirgin gold, twenty-four carats, have come up from Aruba.—
The Government of this place have notices( It, and proclamations
are in circulation, to prevent speculation, and other regulations re-
specting this most valuable acquisition. A piece of 521bs. weight is
here, and appears perfectly pure and as ductile as lead. The Dutch
Government will have tke exclusive benefit, and have to►en mea-
sures to secure it."

Mr. SHERIDAN died July the 7th, 1816, aged fifty-
five years; but the man who engraved the plate, for his coffin
knowing that 50 was fifty, concluded that .505 would express 55,
which was really engraved.
CORN EXCHANGE, MA RK-LA NE, SEPT. 20.
Last week there was another moderate supply of all sorts of P.ng-
Bah Grain, but a good quantity of Flour. There was aiNco a very
large quantity of foreign Oats. This morning's fresh arrivals of Corn
in general were unusually small for this time of the year, and the yield
of the Wheat crop being reported much less than last year, has 00.
casioned a brisk demand fur this article, and prices have advanced
'3s. to 4s. per quarter since this day se'tinight, and very little left on
hand unsold. Barley also obtains rather more money than this day
se'nnight. Beans are scarce, and ls. to 2s. per quarter hi4;her. Boil-
ing Peas are further advanced 2s. per quarter. rey Peas are also
rather dearer. The great quantity of foreign Oats at market causes
our buyers to pause in hopes of purchasing lower ; but as most other
articles are dearer, the factors hold the best parcels of Oats at last
week's prices, but unsweet samples may be reported Is. per quarter
cheaper. There is some expectation that Flour will he advanced
55. per sack, but it is not yet decided.
