took place on- the Thames, above bridge. The contest was for a
prise wherry, called the United States, the gift of Edmund Kean,
Esq. The conditions of the match were, that the contest should
be decided in two heats, by seven pair of oars. At three o'clock
the candidates made their appearance, and after placing thenuelves
in readiness at buoys stationed near the arches of' Westminster
Bridge, the signal was given, and the boats proceeded through
VauxhaUPridge. The competitors rowed round a boat moored
near Lash Cottage, Battersea. and returned against tide, to
the Red House. TLe three first boats only in this heat were en-
titled to contend for the prise, which way declared in favour of the
first three boils. Between six and seven o'clock the boats started
from buoys stationed opposite the Red HMIs!, down the river,
through Vauxhall Bridge, then returned up the Surrey shore.

Ftas.--Abont eleven o'clock last night, a fire broke
out in the extensive premises of Mr. Curling-, fellmlnger,
of Dock Head, Bermondsey, which hit some time threat-
ened destruction to the whole neighbourhood, particu-
larly as the cooperage of Mr. Deacon had, in a few
minutes, from the rapid progress of the flames,_also be-
come ignited. The arrival of the engines, and the acti-
vity of the firemen, stopped the progress of the Winne',
but not until after it had destroyed several warehouses,
one of which, it was reported, contained firs, wool, &c.
The fertility of insects is one of the most striking sub-
jects in their economy. The Musea meridiana lays two

1000 ; various Cocci from 2000 to 4000 ; the Wisp
80,000; the Bee 40,000 or 50,000; the Aleyrodes pro-
tuella 200,000 ; while the Termer fatale is computed
to lay 211,449,600 in a year.

A case was decided in the Sheriff Small Debt Court, C&pat, no
Tuesday, which sacked some merriment. A countrymo from
Buraturk preferred a complaint against a young woman from the
nuns quarter, for not delivering to him a watch of which tie claimed
the ownership, and which she had refused to give op. —The cid,
being integrogited bow she came to have possession of the hatch,
averred that the pursuer had given it to her as a pledge that he
would marry her ' • and if he did not, he was to forfeit all den to
the watch. " That's no true," said the pursuer. Sheriff—w-
did you give her the watchr Pursuer-1, Ou, Sir, twat pun
oot o' the place, and paid it to her that I might see her agen."
Sheriff—" Very strange reason. Might this question net be settled
by marriage yet?" Defender—(with much coiscera)..."Ah via'
Sir, we canna get him moo: he's married to anithrr." The Sheriff
at ength decided the ease by referring to thr defender's oath,
whether she had got the watch in the manner asserted by her Of'
not. The girl swore in the affirmative, and was accordingly•ealowed
to retain pentad= of the watch as her property..
