GRAND ROWING MATCII.

Saturday a grand Rowing Match took place between seven of
the best men on the River, viz. Westwood, Cobb, Maynard,Farson,
Castles, Harris, and /id. The match was for 25 sots. and the
distance was from Westminster Bridge to a boat moored off the
Star and Garter, at Putney. From the known excellence of the
men much good sport was expected, and massy bets were depending
upon the issue of the match. About half-past five o'clock the men
started from Westminster Bridge, followed by a number of cutters
filled with persons of the first rate character and importance. At
starting Cobb had the lead, and although severely pressed by his
opponents be kept a-head, and was the first through Vauxhall
Bridge. From Vauxhall to Putney, Cobb still kept a-head, and on
passing under the centre arch of Putney Bridge be was bard pressed
by Maynard, who was close upon his stern ; and it was the opinion
of every person who witnessed the match, that if he had hail a few
boats' length further to row he would have won the wager. Cobb,
however, first arrived at the appointed spot, and was received with
loud and repeated cheers from the assembled multitude. The others
came In in the following order—Maynard, Farson, Harris, Eld,
Westwood, and Castles. The distance, which exceeds six miles,
was accomplished within thirty-eight minutes.

An interesting correspondence is at the present mo•
ment carrying on between their Majesties ttie King of
Sweden and Norway, and the King of the United Ne-
therlands, relative to the title which Prince Gustavus,
the future son-in-law of the latter Sovereign, is to beat
in the official communications respecting. the marriage.
In its replies, the Court of ihe Hague has, as we are
assured, displayed at once delicacy, politeness, and dig-
nity. Some people pretend to know that the dispatches
sent recently from Stockholm to General the Baron of
Palmstjerna, and of which the Count of Gyldenstolf
was the bearer, directed the above diplomatist to quit
St. Petersburgh, and to repair to the heed quarters of
the Emperor of Russia, with a view of laying before his
Imperial Majesty the above, mentioned correspondence,
and of obtaining various explanations ishichthe subject
appears to require.—Hamburgh Reporter.
