BOAT Rscs.—Another fine specimen of aquatic skill took
place on the river yesterday, from the lock off Teddington to
Chiswick, for a sweepstake* of fifteen sovereigns, between
Messrs. Harrington. %lovely, and Jocelyn. The match *as to
row to Wandsworth Point. Mr. Harrington took the lead,
but at Chiswick the whole were together, and strength and
skill were put into full requisition. Mr. Moseley next top's
the lead for a time, but within half a mile of home, Mr. Her+
rington, strongly opposed by Mr. Jocelyn, and the contest was
d fine treat to the spectators. Mr. Harrington won the match
by about two hundred yards. and the whole rowed down to the
Red House to refresh at a meeting of sporting friends.

HUNGRY Thieves.—The Newgate Calendar this Se/sign
presents in its list the following charges against certain of
the prisoners:—For stealing • pint and a half of oil—
half sieve of cherries—half a bushel of oysters—a quantity
of oats and potatoes—one gallon of rum—s duck—a Tian.
tity of tea and sugar--a fiat containing 4Slhs of butter—a
pig's head —a piece of haeon-2 pigeons—s fowl—tw.)
pieces of bacon and a ben and chickens-20 gallons of rum,
four barrels of cider and four barrels of ale —lt ot. of tea
—a pig—a quantity of beans and hay-153 It,. of tea—
three pints of Holland', 140. &c. As also for stealing the
following miscellaneous articles for domestic use:-3I lbs.
of soap—a frying pan..-. 2 pots and 2 plants—a hymn book
—a brass cock-4 horses nose bags—a quantity of rope—a
guitar—a bugle horn—a hair front—a •set of bag-pipes,
and three donkeys, 80. &c.
On noticing the last mentioned charge, a wag otiserved,
that the thief must certainly be some simple Highlantiler,
or Irishman, who had only longed to get a set of vocal-
ists, fit to perform in concert with his favourite instru-
mental magic.
Notwithstanding a paragraph lately appeared in the
provincial papers, announcing the death of a man who was
said to be the lose survivor of those who sailed with the
famous circumnavig.tor, Captain Cook, we learn from
good authority that there are yet living two other ' 'art
survivors t' one named William Peckovrr, residing in
London ; and the other named Richard Kollett, an
inha-
tint of Hainsboroughi in this county. Respecting the
latter we have gathered the following particular:—Being
of a respectable family, he was, after his arrival home,
comfortably situated in trade, and continued to be so until
accumulated losses and a long course of ill health, (the
effect of different climates and salt provisions.) reduced
him very ranch. He and bis wife now keep a small hoick-
oter's shop, upon which diet, contrive to keep body and
soul together. Many applications have been made to He-
Tulle. Croker, and others at the bead of the marine depict.

past,—but, alas, without effect! mid bis petitions have
been refused, upon the plea that he has been ' so long out
of the service. —(Stensferd News.)
