I.AMBETII It EG ATT A. 
The annual contest amongst the watermen belonging to 
Lambeth took place on Moruiav, and wus as usual extremely 
* attractive. The prizes were liberal, and had been presented 
by the ladles and gontleraeu of St. Mary’s, and othor resi- 
dents of the borough. 
It was an oars’-wager in three heats, tho conditions quali- 
fying the first two boats of the first heat, mid first two of the 
60 C 0 nd heat, to contend in the grand heat. 
First IIo.it. 
■ William Perry and Henry Shelton (Dark blue) 1 
■ E. Perry and C. Maynard (Yellow) 2 
Four other boats started. The distanco was from West- 
minster Bridge up to a boat off Burnett’s Distillery, down 
the Surrey shore, round a boat moored off Hungerford Bridge, 
and back to Lambeth Palace. All tho parties engaged got 
to work very smartly, and formed a lino across the river, 
but wore soon put a little out by the steamors passing to and 
fro, who, however, eased, to prevent doing them any damago. 
The winners shortly drew in front, followed by tho second 
pair, who left their nearest antagonists three or four lengths 
astern. 
Second Hoat. 
f William Shelton and Richard Wilson (Pink) 1 
John Wyld and Joshua Ar thur (Green) 2 
Two other boats started. The distanco was the same as 
before, nnd tho race closer ; although their speed was less, 
they were oar and oar for some distanco, nnd when the lead 
was taken as ubovo, the men had their work to do to main- 
tain it. 
Grand Heat. 
I William Perry and Henry Shelton (Dark blue) 1 
I E. Perry and C. Maynard (Yellow) 2 
Two others started. The race commenced at Vauxhall 
Bridge, the course being reversed. After a few strokes the win- 
ners took the lead; and, although waited upon closely fora 
short distance, never forfeited it.

The Richmond amateur Regatta, will tuko place 
early in August, and particulars will bo shortly advertised in 
“ The Field.” 
Rowing at Bermuda.— On Monday, the filh instant, the 
garrison gig-bont, belonging to Ireland Llund, with five ours- 
mon from the 56th Regiment, made tho circuit of Bermuda, 
40 miles, in nine hours and five minutes. 
Salmon Fishings. — Though the time hns all but come 
when in former years salmon had almost entirely quitted our 
pools in favour of the grilse — when 6omc twenty grilse wore 
usually taken for one salmon, the sea and l’lver nets this year 
continue to take even moro salmon than grilse. The large 
preponderance of salmon is the most striking feature of this 
part of (ho season, and next to that are the splendid shape 
and heavy weight of the fish taken. A groat many salmon 
bavo been captured In the Ness, and iu the Frith, weighing 
from 2011)8. to 28lbs. A very handsome fish was taken on 
Tuesday by Randolph Marriott, in the Two Stones pool. It 
weighed “ a lucky 20lbs.” Mr. Marriott, wo believe, killed 
a grisle on the 4th July, which, oddly enoagh, was the first 
grilse killed with the rod for many years in tiio first week of 
July ; it was the first killed this season, and the first fish ever 
killed by Mr. Marriott. La fortune favor iso les mazettes. 
Mr. Lowe, tho indefatigable herald of good sport and enthu- 
siastic angling in tho Ness, has been fishing all this week, but 
lias only loaded his basket with some scores of our best 6ca 
and river trout. We believe he has not yet taken either a 
grilse or a salmon. — Inverness Courier. 
their picturesque costume. Among them wo noticed Mrs. 
Horniblow, in a while " wlde-a-wako," with a plume of green 
leathers. This lady, as did several others, wore each a medal, 
being a record of a former victory. Mrs. Horniblow was (to 
use a sporting phraseology) handicapped ; she having won 
the head prizo nt the Grand Nutiouul Archory Meeting 
at Leamington last year, and tho second prizo at Shrew*,

Dbvon and Cornwall Archery Societies. —O n 
Tuesday week a grand archery /etc took place on tho beautiful 
grounds of the Ilov. J. Hull Pnrlby, at Manadon, wlion this 
following prizes were awarded : — Prize presented by the 20th 
Regiment to the Ladies of the Devon and Cornwall Ar- 
chery Society, consisting of a handsome piece of jowollery, 
manufactured by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, London. This 
prize was awarded to Mrs. Bond. The First Ladies’ Prise — 
a smelling bottle, with antique gold mounting — was also won 
by Mrs. Bond. Second Ladies’ Prize — a clock — awarded to 
Mrs. Copplostone Ilatcliffo. First Gentleman’s Prize. — n 
silver-mounted 6iigar dish — awarded to Capt. Strode, 8.D.M. 
Second ditto — a silver melon knife and fork — awarded to the 
Rev. J. H. Pnrlby. The dinner took place in tho spacious 
saloon belonging to the society, under the distinguished pre- 
sidency of Sir Harry Smith, G.C.B. 
Grand Archery Fete. — Preparations on a grand 6cale 
are already being made for an aggregate gathering of the 
Archery Societies of Devon, at Teignmouth, on the 27th und 
28th hist., when prizes amounting to more than one huudred 
guineas will bo competed for. 
one dance was given, when tho curtnin descended, and the 
audience cleared outwards. The theatre was very fully 
attended. 
Strand Theatre. — A burlesque of “ Faust and Mar- 
guerite," chiefly remarkable for the showy yet tasteful way 
it is put upon tho stage, and for the nblo efforts of tho actors, 
was presented at this theatre on Monday night. As a bur- 
lesquo it is tho most deadly livoly affair wo ever remembor 
to have listened to ; the dialogue throughout Is vaphl, dull, 
and meaningless, niul the dismal attempts at jokes, which 
occasionally aro made, render tho thing moro mournful. So 
much for tho author, and with him wo ond our cousuro ; 
for tho management is fully deserving of praise for 
tho spirit with which it has outorod into tho cause. 
1 ho scouto oflocls aro most striking, and in soiiin instances 
quite novel, ns a proof of which wo may name tho illuminutod 
gm dons, nnd a street scene, both of which were arranged 
with artistic taste, and convoyed an Idea of space wo thought 
it almost impossible to attain at such a miniature theatre. 
Place /tux dames! Miss Harriot Gordon Is tho Marguerite, 
and a charming, animated Marguerite sho presents; her stylo 
of singing is wonderfully Improved, ns also appear to huvo 
'lotto tho volume nnd quality of her voice. Miss G. llodson 
assumed, for tho nonce, a pbduresquo main attire, und appear- 
ed as Faust. The vocal anil histrionic efforts of tlicso young 
ladies, wont far to secure tho burlesque a favourable recep- 
tion. Mr. Halford limped about the stago ns Mophistophcle*, 
to which ho imparted a saturnlno expression anil depth, 
worth v of a better drawn character. Tho thoatro was well 
attended. 
AsTlby's. — A successful earner is uttnmllng tho speolaole 
of the ‘‘Cossacks; or, Vive la France," which, with tho now 
burlesque, “ Russia against Turkey, ” is played every night to 
largo und approving audiences. Tho scones In tlu* arena; 
tiro as attractivo ns ever, nnd elicit rapturous approbation 
from those who appreciate talent such us Is hero oxhlbltod. 
United States — A very dostruotlve tiro 1ms occurred nt 
Philadelphia, which dostrnyed tho National Theatre, tho 
guard- houses, und a number of other hoiidsomo buildings, 
with thole contents. An actor, named Shephard, lost Ids 
life in returning to tho burning thoatro in search of bis 
watch. 
Theatricals in Turkey —On tho 28th nil., Lord George 
Puulot, tho commander of tho Holleroplinn, gave a theatrical 
representation on board his ship, under tho pntronugn of his 
Royal Highness tho Duke of Cambridge. For him was 
reserved tho scut of honour, nil nrin-olialr, In the front row, 
which Included all tho grout folks within hall of Varna. The ship 
was rigged Into a thoatro In tho most ingenious way. Tho 
scenery was good, nnd well managed— the ladles’ parts being 
taken bv midshipmen nnd boys of the ship. Two of tho pieces 
were The Lottery Ticket and Diamond rut Diamond, both of 
which (the latter especially) wore most admirably performed. 
As interludes, there were Ethiopian sorenaders, iio., and 
pieees performed by the Mploiidbl band of tho ship. Tho 
audience, which consisted of tom" 200 officers, wero of courso 
greatly dolighted with tho entertainment, moro particularly 
as it was concluded by a most exeollout euh*tetiibil stipnor, In 
the usual profit so stylo of hospitality fur which tho English 
army aro so much hi* lordship* d«h*nf«. 
The Leamington and Midland Counties Annual 
Grand Archery Meeting took place at Leamington on 
Wednesday and Thursday last, in the upper part of the 
Jephon 'Gardens, which appeared to possess additional charms 
from the rank, beauty, and fashion in attendance. The morn- 
ing of Wednesday was cheerless, but towards mid-day tho sun 
shone brilliantly. Tho Jephon Garden band was stationed 
in tho Temple of Apollo, and played throughout the day. 
This is the first time the annual meeting of this society 
has been held in these real attractive gardens, and, 
judging from tho numerous competitors and visitors, it 
la not probable it will be the last. The ladies who entered 
the lists were very charming, but the effect was heightened by 
Our ©jcnt-SlitM. 
IlAYMAntCET. — A variety and sparkle were imparted to the 
entertainments at this house on Wednesday evening, by the 
introduction of a corps of Spanish dancers. Tito Terpsichorcon 
troupe consists of some two dozen persons, male and female, 
the principal of whom is a bright - eyed, roguish-looking 
Espagnolle, Senoru Perea Neon. Agile as a fawn, and light 
in her steps as a fairy, Nena executes a series of pas of the 
most intricato and mazy character, with an ease und finish, 
both of which are marvellous. Her appearance Is sufficient 
to caplivato the spectator at onco. Site is unquestionably u 
Spanish beauty— young and elegantly shaped, with a counte- 
nance repleto with expression. There is a coquettish and 
graceful abandon about Iter dancing which, while it is most 
fascinating, presents no attribute which could bo objectionable 
even to the most fastidious taste. The first dance sho achieved 
was received with little less than cheering, and a hearty encore 
showed that the “ ladies of Spain" had gained unother 
triumph, and had established themselves among the favourites 
which it pleases worthy John Bull to patronise. The Spanish 
dancers, it appoors, have created a furore at the Gymuase in 
Paris, and were there honoured with the patronage of the 
Emperor Napoleon. If we may take Wednesday evening as 
a fair criterion, they promise to bo as great favourites here ; 
and we trust they may be, for tho sake of the energetic little 
manager who so merrily holds his reign at “ the little theatre 
in the Haymurket." The following, among others, were the 
dances given on the occasion : — ThoChacara, bySenorlta Guillo 
and the corps do bullet ; Parranda, by the corps de ballet ; Pa* 
Mimique, Sonora Nena and Senor Ruiz ; A Pas de JJcux, 
Stguedilla, Senora Perea Nena; Araudito, Senora Nena and 
gignor Ruiz, and the corps de ballet ; Tirana, Senora Perea 
Nena; Jacara, Senora Perea Neua, and the corps dc ballet . 
Tbe ballet was divided into two parts ; but in the 6econd only

Tub Np.w BK-rriNti Act .— Frederick Harding, the alleged 
keeper of u botting-oUUo and a ontVco-sliop, QJ, l'nnton-etroot, 
Hayinarkot, was summoned by tho police, under tho Vow Hotting 
Act, for that he, being tho neeupior of n room No. 22, I’unton- 
streot, kept and used for the purpose of hotting with parsons, did 
receive hnlf-n-soveroign from Lionel Unynor, in consideration of 
paying tho sum of £!] on an ovont relating to u horso-rnee. Mr. 
Preston attended for tho defence. Mr. It iyncr said ho lived in 
Oompton-atreet. Ho wont to tho defendant's botllng-oflleo In 
Pan ton-st root, nnd tendered lialf-n-sovorolgn a* a hot upon a horse 
called tho Knight of St. Goorgo, to run nt tho Worcestershire races. 
The defendant took tho money, nnd told him, If his horse won, that 
tho noxt day lie wonhl bo paid &'). Tho horse did win ; lie went 
for his money, nnd was met with tho very old 41 dodge,” that 
u.iothor man had claimed tho manor, nnd had reooived it. Ho 
offered to forego tho money if the defendant would produce tho 
receipt of the person to whom ho alleged ho hna paid it. lie was 
told to call tho following Monday, and t lion lie should huvo his 
money. He did cull, and saw the defendant's brother, who as- 
serted that the money hod boon paid to ftanthor person, and who 
refused to pay his claim. Mr. Preston asked the witness what ho 
was. Witness: A comcdinn. Mr. Preston : Aro you not in tho 
habit of writing fora newspaper? Witness: I have written some- 
thing. Mr. Preston: Under what name? Mr. Hnrtlwfck did not 
think tho solicitor had a right to put that question. lie might us 
woll ask a man if ho hud tho smallpox. Witness was willing to 
stnto hi* litorary name ; it was “Joe Muggins’s Dog.” (Laughtor.) 
Tho defendant asserted that the witness was mistaken with respect 
to tho person lo whom ho paid his money. Tho person to whom 
the defendant paid tho half sovereign was his lirothor. Unynor: 
Don’t talk nonsense ; I have known you nt Ichst ton years. De- 
fendant : My brother is ofton taken for ino ; wo arc ns like ns two 
peas, Raynor: I knew you wlion you kept a hduso In Oxondon- 
streot. Defendant: Dot you JO lo 1 of that. (Loud laughter.) 
Mr. Preston having cross-examined the witness In order to shako 
bis testimony, ns fur as tho identity of tho defendant was concerned, 
nnd having fuiled to do so, appealed to tho Court for on adjourn- 
ment, in order to procure tho uttemhmooof tho defendant’s brother. 
Mr. Hardwick pointed out tho positive declaration of tho witness 
as to the defendant's identity, and tho corrohorntivo evidence of the 
constable, who was called in by tho witness to tuko tho defendant 
into custody for obtaining money by folse protoncos. Tho solicitor 
admitted that ho could not struggle successfully against that part 
of the evidence. Mr. Raynor said, Ins motive for coming forward 
wus, that ho felt ho had been swindled, and ho wished to protect 
others against being served in the same way. Inspector Parko 
said, tho now act had been of use nt first in suppressing betting- 
offices ; but recently these offices hod mndo thoir appearance ia 
great forco, and were so artfully conducted ns to haifia detection. 
Mr. Hardwick was satisfied with tho evidence of identity. If tho 
statement were true that tho bet hud been paid to another person, 
that would bo no mitigation of the offence ; it was rather an ag- 
gravation of tbe circumstance to put forward tho pretence of having 
paid tho money to another, in order to defraud the right person of 
his duo. This, however, was a case, and tho first of it* kind, under 
the New Betting Act — a most useful and salutary, net passed for tho 
repression of gambling. It was notorious that bottiug-oflleea wore 
the means of leading persons into gambling who could ill afford 
to lose anything, aftd who, if they dlu loso, seldom failed to plunge 
their families Into ruin. It was tho purpose of tho Legislature to 
remedy this mischief, and the preAentsaluta ry oot was pMSCd m 
the expectation that it would accomplish that deilraalo duJecL I he 
penalty imposed by the act was 100/, or six mouth* hard labour 
without a penalty. The present case being proved, ho Should in- 
flict a tine of 50/., or three months’ hard labour. Tho full penalty 
would always be Inflicted on a r«curr« 0 « W the OffCEOC. The de- 
fendant gave notice of appeal.
