The contest was to he decided in two hems: the
first three hosts of the first heat only being allowed
to row the second heat for the pike. They started
at five o'clock from Westminster-bridge for the first
beat, and proceeded round a boat moored off the
Windmill, beyond Vaushall, down the Surrey-shore
to the beacon below Westminster-bridge, and through
the centre arch ; this contest, which constituted the
first heat, was wan by Perple, Scarlet, and Orange,
Green and Yellow having given up the contest about
the middle of the heat: At half-past seven the three
winners started again for the second beat from West-
tploster-bridge, to row round a beat at Battersea.
bridge, and to return to the Prise Wherry, which
was moored off Cumberland-prdens; this beat af.
forded a strong trial of skill. The Prise Boat was
finally won by William Watford, of the Temple,
and Charles Westwood, of Bleckfriars, both distiu,.
guished by Scarlet colours. It was a very hard con-
test, there being little mo►e than a boat's length be.
tweets each of the three during the greater part of
the distance.--We are sorry to conclude by stating,
that a boy, who was looking from lime craft on the
Surrey-side, fell into the water and was drowned.

INFAMOUS TRANS ACTI6N.—A few days ago, a
slow lady, named Fotheringham, a native of Ame.
vice, came to town from the coast of Sussex, where
she had been for some time residing with her three
infant children, for the purpose of selling out stock
to the amout of 8001. preparatory to a voyage to her
native country. Ilaving applied to the people af the
house to recommend some professional man to trans.
act her business, s genteel.looking fellow was intro.
aimed, who stated his name to be Fairney, and that
he was a Solicitor of the toner Temple. He ap.
pea redtobe perfectly conversant in money transactions,
and after some conversation, Mrs. F. furnished him
with the necessary documents, and with a written
authority to sell oat stock to the amount mentioned.
A time was appointed for an interview, when he was
to pay over the money to her, but he has never since,
made his appearance, and the feelings of the unfor-
tunate woman may easily he conceived, when, upon
finicky, sl•e tou,d that he had absconded with the
whole of her property) haring sold the stock ou the
day appointed.
