Pasha, who has just paid a visit to Constantinople, intends 
shortly to proceed to England in the Viceroy’s magnificent 
steam-yacht Paid Gehaad. El Hamee Pasha is an intelligent, 
pleasing young inan, but his prospects of succeeding to the 
government of Egypt are very remote, his three uncles and a 
number of cousins having the precedence from their greater 
age. 
Regatta Prizes. — We have inspected with great plea- 
sure the splendid Vases selected by Her Majesty and Mr. 
Peto, for the Cones Regatta anil that at Lowestoft, gifts 
speaking highly for tho taste and munificence of the sove- 
reign and her high-minded subject. Nor must we omit to 
state, that they fully sustain the great reputation of Mr. Gor- 
rard for works in the precious metals. We shall soon give il- 
lustrations of these magnificent works, and at the proper 
period, illustrations of the matches for which they are offered 
a prizes.

KING’S COLLEGE BOAT RACES. 
The annual boat races of tho students of King's College, 
London, took place lost Monday and Tuesday. 
First race. Putney to Hammersmith — three o’clock — for a 
Silver Challenge Cup, to be sculled for annually, by students 
In any department of the above college. To bo retained by 
the winner if held for two successive years. The cup (furnished 
by Mr. Collins of Regent-street) was a very handsome one, 
mving the college arms beautifully engraved in ronf, nnd 
‘ King’s College Challenge Cup, 1854,” around the lid. 
•Mr. Webber, of tho “ Leandor Boat Club,” was kind enough 
to ni t as umpire, and, at a little after throo, the following 
gentlemen were prepared to start, and came in in the order 
they are named — 
Walters, Jun Pink. 
Dickson Orange. 
Stnvely Dark Bluti 
Tripp Scarlet. 
An excellent start was effected : Mr. Walters, however 
soon gulning tho lead, which ho held throughout, and won 
easily by six boats’ lengths, the same distance between second 
and third. Owing to the boisterous state of the weather, the 
water was very rough; if it hud been otherwise, wo think the 
race would have been quicker and more closely contested. 
Hammersmith bridge, bein'! the place whero the race was to 
terminate, was pretty well filled with tho relatives nnd friends 
of the competitors; and we wero pleased to see so many Indies 
there, notwithstanding the fickleness of the weather. 
Second Race. 
Hammersmith to Putney. Four o'clock. 
Junior Sculls. 
Ilolberton Purple 
Mc'Plierson Scarlet 
Owing to the rough stale of tho river, only the two gen- 
tlemen above-mentioned started, out of Ihe five who had put 
tboir n \mcs down. 
A very good start was made, the race being smartly con- 
tested ut first, but Mr. Hoblerton, after a short time, gained 
the lead, and won vory easily. 
Tho Scratch-four- oar race was postponed until Tuesday 
evening, on uccount of the boats being swamped as they wero 
being lowed to tho starting-place. 
TUESDAY. 
Scratch Four-oar Race.— Hammersmith to Putney. 
Tho following crews started nnd came in, in tho order they 
are named. 
out. Judging from wliat has been done already, we can 
found a shrewd guess as to the result. And we hopo all 
those of our rowing friends who can lend a helping hand, 
will do so, — it will deserve it ; and we will stake our veracity 
that no aquatic, with a soul as large as a half-quartern loaf, 
will stay away from such prizes as the £100 Champion 
Priie,. >b which raco alone not less a sum than £135 will 
bo divided between the first four boats, or the ciglit-oarcd 
Watermen's match, North of England v. South. If tho 
prizes given don’t got entrances nothing can ; and for tho 
edification of tho unenlightened, wo give the published 
programme.

I 4. Mlnclulr ) 
6. Harrington. ) 
A splendid start was effected, tho three boats being abreast 
for the first third of the race, when “ Purple” went slightly 
ahead with Blue next, but did not hold the lead long, ns 
tho greater weight of the other crews told against the 
wind, which was rather strong, “ Blue” now having the lead, a 
spirited raco eusued to the pier at Putney, which terminated 
in favour of " Blue,’’ by two boats lengths, ond barely a 
length between tho 2nd und 3rd. 
The style of rowing, ond tlio time kept by tho crew in 
“ Purple,” was allowed to bo the best, (though, us ubovo stated, 
they were much the lightest, and wero not able to pull ogainat 
the wind 60 successfully ns tl»e others.

Tho most remarkable change, and wo may odd bonoficinl 
one in the race, is the watei men’s pair oared, which Instcud 
of being a scratch raco In which men draw lots lor partners, 
nnd tho result all n chance who ahull win, every mini chooses 
his own partner, and wo shall have some first-ruto rowing In 
consequence, us tho hast men, both from Loudon and New- 
castle, intend cnloring. A eont and badge, lor below bridge 
apprentices, to bo rowed in old fathxoncd boat.*, Is un admir- 
able suggestion. All we can say is pay up, and thoro is no 
fear of a true “ National Regatta.” 
On Tuesday last the draw for tho apprentices to row for tho 
badge, freedom, and money prizes took place at Mrs. 
Dimmer's, Dockhend. 35 names were entered, showing tho 
interest felt by the young men below bridge, und their deslro 
to have a fling at tho national lOte, ond from thorn 18 wero 
drawn by lot who will now bo entitled to contond. Every- 
thing passed off admirably, on the night in question, nnd wo
