Gentleman mimed Vader, and Nankai, a watermani towed with
oat, against two amateurs and Godfrey of Swan.stairs„ the anni-
teurs rowing oars, and Godfrey a pair of 'culls, in the same boat,
being what is termed " a Welsh galley." They started at five
o'clock, from Vauxhall-bridge, but Mr. Slatler's boat soon rook the
clead, and won the match by arriving at Putney, above eight bog'
leoath sAmari.in about half an hour. The distance is See miles.

Friday, a small cutter, called the Goede Hoope, of
Ostend, laden with contraband goods, was brought into
Whitby, having been captured by Lieut. KING, Chief
Officer of the Preventive Service at that port, with three
men and two pilots. The cargo, which was immedi .rely
landed at the Custom-house, consisted of about 301)
kegs of spirits, and 100 packages of tobacco, snuff, test
&c. She had on board five men; and thiee men,'sup-
posed to belong to the same vessel, were taken by two
of the Preventive boatmen on the preceding night, as
they were,landing'out of a boat on the sand near Cr
gang, about a mile and a half north of Whitby.—Hui

a public house, and went into a field, where they fought
for W. In the course of the battle the deceased received
such injuries, principally from falling, that be died boon
after. A verdict of •' Manslaughter" was returned
against the principal and seconds.
