ROWING MA.TCH.—Yesterday a prize wherry, given
by several gentlemen amateurs of aquatic sports, in
commemoration of the battle of Waterloo, was rowed
for by eight of the best watermen on the river. The
scene of contest was between the first Windmill above
Vauxhall and Battersea Bridge Alter a mat ad.
inirable trial of skill, the boat was won by Farloe.
He 'was followed by Goff and Parsons. The prize
was given to the winner at the Red House, Battersea,
which was crowded with company. The river was
burdened with boats, filled by parties and bands of
music. _ _

Boxswo.—The amusements of Peckham Fair ter-
minated in a short but sanguinary pugilistic contest
between Mari Wells, a man well known to the Pau
as a bottous third-rate fighter, and a Bristonian toga.
taw, named Georgette, of very superior weight. • The
place selected for the combat was near the Green Man,
on the Greenwich-road. It being as early as five
o'clock in the morning when- the parties met, the as
of persons consisted chiefly of those whose
inclinations to dissipated habits had detained them all
night at the Fair. Wells was so confident of bear-
ing the laurel from the brow of his adversary, and so
eager for the. mill, that before Georgeson could put
himself in the true milling position, he planted a ter-
rific bunch Ogg at his adversary's face, which, for a
monki.t caused a stagnation of the amateur's mental
facult,es ; this, however, only served to rouse his in-
dignity to a pitch of desperation, and he commenced
an attack at once courageous and determined. At
the end of the fourth round there was a cessation of
hostilities, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or
no the Bristonian trick of closing and throwing was not
foul in a regular mill ; there being no umpires present
who could decide this point, an armistice was entered
into, and the parties adjourned to a neighbouring
public-house, to quench the heat of their anger by An
administration of ardent cordials. Here Wells chal.

lenged to fight his adversary for a purse of ten
guineas,
provided he would forego the letting. Georgeion
expressed his readiness to meet him at any time,
but was determined never to forego the use of a trick
' Voich had been taught him at an early period by
some of his gamut N,untrymen. Wells is a muck
better out-fighter, and possesses more science than his
opponent, blended with which, he has much activity
and strength ; against these, Georgeson could not
blue stood, had it not been for his never-fain trick
of closing and throwing.

The number of seamen at present at Plyntopth is
exceed' igly great. $y the last weekly muster, it
amounted to upwards of 11,000. Two Jolly Tars,
discharged from the Semen, went to the Hotel on'
Friday, and engaged a post-chaise to Exeter, for
wl:;ch they paid £6. On start:ng, one of them pre-
ferred siding on the dickey, which he called the forg-
et/ok, with the driver, and hisenessmete got up be-
hind, swearing that he would not he stowed is hold.
On the landlord ex;ressing his fears that they would
emu get a wet jacket—"• Oh 1 d—n the rain, (ex.
claimed one of the Tan) if we have a fair wind, that's
au we care for." •
Yesterday a party of sailors, with their girls and a
fiddler, hired a coach for a frolic; some on the roof,
others on the box, and the rest inside. Thus they
proceeded, hallooing and waving their handkerchiefs, i
to London Bridge, when one leaning out of the win.
dow to talk to those on the roof, the door flew open,
lae.fell out, and fractured his scull on the pavement.
lie was taken to the hospital in a dangerous state.
