three rowing matches between a Corton and two Lowestoft Boni
for £5, three rounds for the prize. The Carton Boat was the
winner. A second match was made by the Corton mid a

water frolic (which commenced only last year) is truly gratifying tel
the amateurs of aquatic sports. Like Lothimr. Regatta certainly
vies with the first in the two counties. The best of accommodatiotri'

occasional taste of open viler for the amusement of the spectanne.

THE FANCY.

Dudley Downs and Jack risdalv—Thursday evening the depoth
due-in this match was posted. Jack has gone to the Welsh Haw
on the Edgeware-road, to train, but he showed himself at this time
to put down his own money. Dudley keeps' very close at Olt
Shirley's, at Staines. There was no betting worthy of notice.
Harry Jones, who has been renovating his shattered health by a
friendly invitation from .the landlord, on the pure air and' print
beef at the New Inn at Staines—has been ac Ively employed is
Dudley Downs's training. Harry speaks of him in high Wean;
Ili. powers and art at throwing, he say., are very superior. The
chief fears entertained by the friends of Dudley Downs .rd with re-
spect to his weight—he is bound to enter the ring 10 stone. Be
now weglis 10 stone 6:b.

• A VILTZRAt! HIGHLANDER.—In the battle before
Quebec, which ter miniatd in the reduction of tha: tows,
when the command of the army had, by the dbath of
General Wolfe, devolved on General Townshend, he
observed an old Highlander in frrsnt of the army, lay-
ing about with the most surprising stieligth and ;agility,
bearing down all opposition: tie almost spent with
fatigue, he retired behind a breast,vork of dead bodies.
After resting a shok time, he snipped of his tnar,
which encumberci him, and again retained to. the
charge with new vigour. The General, hail of arleni-
ration at his intrepid behaviour, ordeeed iiiat to
