RESULT OF THE MATCH,

The vessels were so near each other at the time of the
accident which happened to the Harriet, that if the race
had ended there, it would have been a drawn match ;
b• th vessels still keeping on under a three-reef mainsail,
fourth jib, and reef foresail, the Harriet being some dis-
tance astern (although not so far as may be expected
with the loss of her boom), on arriving off Cowes came
into the harbour; the Arrow kept on to the westward,
and arrived at the goal of decision at half-past six o'clock
a distance of fifty miles, thereby winning the match ;
but, owing to the accident before mentioned, the supe-
riority of these two yacts sailing was undecided. The
Earl of Belfast having paid the stake forfeited, imme-
diately sent a written challenge to Mr. Weld to sail
again for 1501. any day and course the Marquis of An-
glesey, or any other person agreed upon by the parties,
may assign, giving the Harriet a sufficient time to repair
her damages. Mr. Weld has accepted the challenge,
but the day is not fixed. Both these yachts are entered
for the Gold Cup given by the inhabitants of Cowes, to
be sailed for by yachts of the Royal Yacht Club only,
so that they will come twice more in competition with
each other.

that the oil crop will be next to a total failure ; but, in
the absence of all commissions, not much rise is ex-
pected. There was a little firmness in the market:

Pembroke dock-yard, superintending the building the Satellite, ex-
perimental ship, intended to sail against those on the plans of Capt.
HAT, R.N. The Satellite is not only constructed as a fast-sailing
vessel, Jiut also on i new plan of Sir Rowe's, having keel and
deadwood external to the hull, so that, should she strike on a shoal
or sunken rock, both, with part of the rudder, will separate, leaving
her otherwise uninjured. She will be launched early In October.
Sir Roaxwes health is greatly improved since his residence In this

It appears that a considerable emigratioa has lately
taken place from China to Sinenpure, and from thence
to the neighbouring islands. In February last a Chinese
junk arrived from the province of Quangtong at Sinca-
pore, which brought 870 emigrants, most of them
destitute of every thing except the clothes on their
backs. A day or two atter their arrival, SOO of them
embarked for Rhio, and 100 more distributed themselves
among the neighbouring settlements. On the '2d of
March another junk arrived at Sincapore, from the same
place, with emigrants to the number of 1,050. The
smallness of the passage money facilitates emigration,
each emigrant paying but six dollars, for which he also
receives food during the passage.
The following are the particulars of the late horrible
sacrifice in Spain, extracted from a private letter re-
ceived at Paris from Madrid The brotherhood of
St. Hermandad took the road to Valencia, followed by
numbers of a sociates,to s icrifice the unfortunate Hebrew.
---All the thieves, smugglers, andassassins, surrounded
the pile, carrying the banners of the Inquisition and
Ct. Dominique, preceded by Monks, singing the Psalms
of David. Between them was placed their unfortunate
victim, who was clad in a smock frock, upon which was
painted various devils, having on his head a pasteboard
cap, decorated with flames of fire. He was escorted by
two Dominican friars, who complimented him upon the
occasion of his being about to be burned for the salva-
tion of his soul; and previous to his ascending the fag-
gots they embraced him. The wretched man having
been gagged and tied down, the torch was applied, and
torturers surrounded the pile, singing hymns to drown
the cries of the victim."

GRETNA GREEN.—The Bishop of Gretna, as he is
called, though arrived .tt the advanced age of 74, asto-
nished the good people of Lancaster, by the strength ofl
his head and freshness of his memcry. He was parti-
cularly communicative respecting the many marriages
he had celebrated during his lengthened incumbency.
The case, he said, which bore the strongest resemblance
to that for which he attended at Lancaster, was that of
a Gentleman, aged about thirty, now in so very high a
judicial situation that his ambition cannot even look
higher, who contrived to obtain from the window of a
boarding school, a Lady of fifteen, supposed to be one
of the richest heiresses in England, with whom he posted
on the wings of love to the Temple at Gretna Green.
In one respect, however, the parallel did not hold, for
if the fee for the first celebration had been laid out at
compound interest at the time of the flood, it would
hardly have equalled that which he obtained for the
other. So much for precedent. It is evident that the
young Lady mentioned in the first case was not a Ward
in Chancery.

PAACTICA AVIILTUI.) 711 INJUNCTIONS IN THU VACATION.
His LORDSHIP desired to have it publicly understood,
that the establised practice of the Court was, that in
the vacation all applications to be mide to the Chan-
cellor, or any branch of this Court, for injunctions, to
stay waste, or to dissolve injunctions, ought to be made
by petition, and not upon motion, which he wished to
be attended to in future; and though be did not intend
Ito sit in public after Wednesday next, yet, any Solici-
tors having such applications to make, by sending the
petitions and affidavits to him, he would immediately
attend to them, and write his orders upon them. He
meant to devote some hours in every day of the vaca-
tion, in getting through some of the business before
him, remaining to be disposed of in judgment. After
having heard several applications, in almost all of which
the parties failed from defective records,lfsL irdship rose.
