A Boat Race took place on Saturday afternoon
from the Thatched House Garden, Jersey City,
which afforded much qualification to the numer-
Gus spectators. There were only two boats
which contendsd for the prizes OF two Silver
Cups. which were offered BY the proprietor of the
Garden. The boats were the celebrated race
bost Dasnatch. owned in Jersey CITY, and rOwed
by oarsmen of that place, aud the Swan, owned
at Staten Island, and rowed by four Whitehall
hoatmen. The race was well contested, and was
won bv the Swan. the other boat coming IN about
four lengths astern. The distance was about
three miles. being from stake-boat opposite the
garden, round Ellls' Island, and back, and 1t
was performed in about eighteen minutes. 1t

the fastest boat, and that the Swan had the al
vantage in the unrivalled skill ct the whitehall

in few DAYS, between the same boats, for a
parse of SSOO-the Swan to be rowed by the

We learn that Col, Thomas l.. McKENNEY
has been removed from the situation at the head

We do DOT know the precise grounds of this re-

cy of the Government towards the Indians, in
certain particulars. We have not heard that any
one has been appointed in his place. The sta,
