THAMES YACHT CLUit..
A sailing match took place yesterday, between six pleasure yachts
big nibs Gentleman, of this Club. The prise contested was
a Silver Cup. value SO guineas, halnisonsely embossed, and ens- I
peaded from the boom of the Vamp/in steam-padtet. A large
party_of Ladies and Gentlemen asecnapinded the meithers, and left
tbe Tower-etain at eight o'clock, together with a band of musi-
cians. On arriving at Blackwall, the boats prepared to start; and
ea the signal palming fired, the six following immediately hoisted
sail. mad bore away for Gravnend with three cheers :
Rotherhithe • 13 tons.
The Lady Louisa, of .
Royal Eagle . Ditto • . 11
Deception • . Vauxhall . 12
St. George • . Stantate 12
• Greyhound . Itotherhithe . 21
Frolic .
. Stangate .
Each was manned with hell a dozen tight hands, and much anziety.
was manifested for the result. The wind was light, and continued at
East during the whole day; but the ebb tide enabled them to make
good way until they arrived at Long-reach, where the Deception, the
Royal Nl*, and the Frolic, si pikyed least in sight ;” in fact they
were completely distanced. Here, then, commenced a spirited race
between the other three alternately. The admirable sea build and
red Austeuvriag of the Lady Latta, which lay like a duck on
the mew of the Water, enabled her to get the weather gage,
and rvn a-bead of her competitors In a few moments the
perior breadth of canes., aided by a stiffer breeze, gave the
su
Greyhound a dash .f superiority; while again the Royal Eagle,
by a dexterous tuff, bore away from the rivals, and shot a-bead with
'characteristic fleetness. When they arrived at Broad Ness, the
Geed tide set in with immense rapidity and strength. A consultation
Est the fear competitors issued in a determination to back to
IMO& about, and make for home. It appeared that though they
Might possibly have reached the intended goal, Gravesend, yet in
that swat return was hopeless during the night. A truce was
proclaimed, and the various parties assembled in tow of the steam-
packet. The naval council then decided that the prize should re-
main over for another contest.

The &inscriber* nmiteredto-day in pretty strong force, and dill
betting was very general at hijyy figures. For the July Ssakes,
Goshawk keeps first fair/aril*, and Jerboa and Mr. Worthy's are
advancing; and for the Ste Leger, Redpuntlet declines, and the
Alderman looks up a little. A great deal of the business was be-
tween the field and the favourites, and on some of the outside
horses for the St. Leger, a neW one (Brownlock) who bp,' won
twice lately, being brought up. The Derby also came a little
into notice. The odds left off as ander :

In the Court of Common Pleas, yesterday, the .
action of Mr., Dusts, the surgeon, s. Meatuses, fora Wel. was
tried. It was a new trial, a verdict having, on the former trial,
been given for the defendant. The plaintiff bad presented a
petition to Parliament on the subject of Medical Quackery:
This was criticised in a work published by the defendant, en-
titled The iletege Physician, in terms which the plaintiff deem. d
libelous. •Serjeants, Vauckome Pat., and Wass, were COliti-
sel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Simms appeared' fee the
defendant. The Loan Cater Juane: charged the Jury, who
found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, One Farthing.
All are agreed that an independent Forture is de-
sirable. The only question is, the easiest and quickest mode of
obtaining it ; and we defy all philosophy and science to afford so
simple, quick, and pleasing a method to gain independence as
that by way of Lottery ; which requires neither skill, strength,
nor judgment. It is only risking a very small sum new, and the
mere turn of a Wheel in a few days, can convert it into Twenty
Thousand Guineas; as in the present Lottery, which not only con-
tains Four Prizes of e 621,000, with many other Capitals, and no
Blanks; but the fortunate Holders of the Four Prizes of 1000
Guineas will have, gmtis, Sixty-four Pipes of Wine, being di:-
teen Pipes to each Prize ; and the Wine to be chosen by the for-
tunate Holders themselves. The whole amount of the Prizes,
Je204,442, with the Sixty-four Pipes of Wine, will be decided
all in One Day, 15th July, nett Month.
About one o'clock on Wednesday morning, an officer
of the Coast Blockade, named Carrel', with a party
under his command, stationed at Elmore, near Little
Hampton, fell in witb a party of smugglers, l.den with
casks of spirits, when they captured thtee men,- Wen
with two casks of spirits each. Mr. C. with another,
pursued the company, and tell la with two other meni
who proved to be light (not carrying contraband goodsy.
A scuffle ensued between one of those men and Mr.
CARTER, when the former snatched a pistol from the
bosom of Mr.CARTER and cocked it. whereupon Mr.
ICARTIR immediately fired at the smuggler, and shot
him dead. The quantity of goods landed is unknown,
but it is supposed to have been considerable, as three
boats were seen near the spot.

BOW-tram.—Charks Wheeler, one of the Officers of the So-
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, appeared. at this.
Mice, and requested summonses for the following Noblemen,
Gentlemen, and sporting characters :—Earl'of Uxbridge, White-
headed Bob, Mr. Harmer, John Cooper the Gipsy, Stockman,
Tom Oliver, Holt, H. Harmer, and A. Belasco ; to thew cause
why they aided and assisted at a bull bait and prise fight, which
took place at Hounslow Heath, on Tuesday last. The Magistrates.
inquired whether the parties were either seconds to the fight or
'Wows of the bull? A reply was made in the negative. sum-
monses were then refused, but the Society, if they chose, might
indict them. Summonses were granted for the owner of the ball,
and the backers of the champions.
Moar-aa-Butota.--Charies Wheeler made a similar application to
that described under the head Bow-street ,to Mr.Rovn.ntsmt, at tide
dice, and, in addition to the statement made there, said, that as
tee brutal sport was going on, a Gentleman, weiLmountod, who
took great interest in the scene,while betting upon a dot which was
just let loose at the bull's head, fell suddenly from his horse, and was
called into the presence of his Maker ! This, however, aimed no
interruption to the game, which went on as if nothing had happened.
The bull belonged to one Jack Batchelor, and the crowd, which
was immense, was partly composed of soldiers. There were RAG
several Officers of the Life Guards present. Mr. Miasmal., be
said, had refused to give him the aid of some constables to prevent
this horrible exhihidon taking place at ItAwmalson de-
clined granting the summons ; but Wheeler might, he said, never
theless,indict the parties named.
