We welcome yon with Literature, THE INTERNATIONAL SCULLERS' RACE IN ENGLAND, (From the Manchester Examiner, July 5.) The great scullers' race between Kelley, of London, and Hamill, of America, for £250 a side, five miles, took place on the Tyne yesterday morning, ind was won by Kelley, by nearly half a mile. Notwith- standing the early hour of the race --halt- past seven o'clock--and the drawbacks of uncertainty which until Tuesday attended it, there were on the river and its banks all the characteristics of a great event on the Tyne. The weather was mild as could be desired. Scarcely more than a ripple on the surface of the water, the only breath of mind astir being a faint breeze from tne. Gateshead side. More than a dozen steam~ ers, all heavily laden, lay off the quays ; the Rabbitt Banks, and all the other favorite points of view were all crowded. At five minutes past seven Kelley came down the river in his cutter, which was steered by G. Drewitt. At the Mansion House quay he'alighted the raft. He did not go ashore, but remained upon the timber, and personally looked after is skiff, which was rowed down close after the cutter. Precisely at half-past seven o'clock, both men got into their skiffs, Kelley being the first to pull off from the shore, which he did amid loud cheers from those on board the steamers in the imme- diate vicinity. ip: Hamill lost no time 1n following suit. i? THE START. «Only a very few minutes were spent in getung prepared, so that at exactly twenty- one minutes to eight o'clock this ery was raised. ¢ They're off | they're off I' and so indeed they were, but so easy did they get away that it wae almost imperceptible. At the first two strokes; Kelley's skiff shot out ahead, and in a few. more he had her stem clean past Hamil's: Kelley pall- ed his usual long, launching stroke, while that of Hamill's was short and - quick, at] somethin, like ~wmearly two to one of Kelley's. 1t was plainly apparent from the start that these would have but little effect when pitted againet, those of the English champion, for although at the first start be had the appdiirance of Soming upto Kelley, the fatter soon shook him off, a not anly so, byt the Ski ing the Ameriéan by about & latter, however, nothing daunted, give way VOLUNTEERS OF CANADA...

By the time they arrived at the Grindstone quay, however, Kelley's long stroke was telling immensely in his favor, so much so indeed that at this point he had his boat completely clear by upwards ofa length and was giving Hamill the benefit of his back. water. The cheering on board the boats was now taken up by people on the shore, who ran in a body along the quay in pur- suit of the two skiffs. Opposite the lead factory both men had settled down into a steady stroke, that of Hamill being now scarcely so rapid as at the commencement. Kelley had evidently the advantage in style, as each stroke seemed to make the inter- val wider and wider between the two boats until at the gas-works he had added another length to the gap between thenr? Harnill, however, was pulling a plucky stern race, for his strokes, after once settling down to their regular averages, never falter- ed in the slightest, notwithstanding the fac! that Kelley was leading him to the extent he was, the English 'champion gradually improving his position until getting to Waterson's quay. FAILING. The steady pulling of Hamill was of short duration, for when alongside at Der went Haugh he again relaxed intoa zig-zag course, and hia stroke seemed even more irregular and less powerful than in any pre- vious part of the contest ; Kelley, on the contrary, kept a most perfect course from the Meadows to the suspension bridge, and his pulling never varied from the beautiful, long, powerlul stroke with which he started Before approaching the bridge the race was virtually over; as-it was impossible within the distance for Hamill to overtake his an- tagonist. Kelley pulled steadily onward, and seemed slightly to increase his lead without serious effort, Hamill keeping up the same rate of progression which be had maintained throughout, both men keeping well in with the south shore. There was no change in position to the end of the race, Kelley passing the flag at Lemington point the winner by-fully six hundred yards. As he turned his boat hia victory was hailed ae a simultaneous cheer from the steamers and the assembled erogd which fringed either shore. DEFEAT AND A MANLY GREETING. Kelley lay upon his oars until Hamill gallant competitors of the day sfiook hands in.the most cordial manner. The friendly act was hailed by another cheer. . Both men were then taken on board the referce's boat--the Louise Crawshay--and the steam- ers at once set oul on their return to New- castle quay.

A Boston physician states the cases of seven yonng men whq have suffered most protracted and painful eruptions on the neck all of them wearing paper collars, and each the arsenic from the enamel in the collar being taken up more freely then than at any other time. Every body knows that the enamel upon visiting cards is poisonous, and that instances of the death of children from chewing the sameare on record. ' The Round Table concludes a protest against the use of paper cuffs and collars thus :-- " That the men and women who wear them have no eruptions upoi the neck is only proof of their greater. peril ; for it ord that the system is 80 corrupted or weakened 'as to take in arsemic without that natural resistance which produces sores or boils. Oa the other hand, however, it is quite possible that ladies may be disfigured for life by unsightly blotches arising from these collars and cofls... 'As they are, at best, only a sham and a substitute for linen and muslin, and as no great expense is involved in the purchase of the only materials of which collars can be safely made, we hope that the wearing of poisonous paper collaia will be discontinued, and we urge all -phy- sicians, and especially the Board of Health to instruct the public in regard to this im- TT i A few days since a Frenchman, and wife gave a dinner party lo celebrate the twen~ tieth year. of their marriage. = Just before, dinner one of them broke a tumbler.

W., THURSDAY. AUGUST 9, 1866. ENGLAND BY HENRY WARD BEECHER. ¢The proudest soverign in the world is "Victorra. She dignifies woman- hood and motherhood, and she is fit to ait mn empire. There is one reason why the English throne is the strongest also, be- cause it is so many legged. It stands on thiriy millions of people. It represents the interests of the masses of the subjects. Another reason why England is the strong- est ndtion is because it in the most Chris tian nation, because itis the most moral power. It has more power than we have. We like to talk about ourselves on the 4th of July, we love to fan ourselves with eulo- gies--L know her stabbern conceit--1I know how many things are mischievous among her common people, among her operatives of the.factory, among her serfs of the mine, but taking her up on one side, and down on the other, there is not a nation that repre- sents so mnch Christianity as Old England. If you do not like to hear it, I like to say it; and the strongest power on the face of the globe to-day is that kingdom. It is the strongest kingdom, and the one that is least likely to be shaken down. England has been destroyed every ten or fifteen years from the time of the Armada to the present day, in the prophecies of men. Every few years she has been about to be stripped of her resourceés in India, and other. parts of the globe. Nations have formed alliances against her ; the armies and fleets of the civilized world have gone about her ; her interests, political and pecuniary, have been repeatedly and violently assaile, and yet she has stood, us she now stands, mis tress of the seas, and the strongest power on earth, because she has represented the moral element.' 6 An Euglish traveller, on one occassion, conversing with the captain of a Mississip- pi steamer, paced with him vp and down some plauking laid on the top of a- pile of barrels. They smoked their cigars with complacency, knocking off the ashas, and ionally tossing a ked-out stump among the cargo at their feet. «By the way, captain,' said the traveller, ¢ what have you got in those barrels 7° ¢ Powder, I guess, quietly responded the impertuiable Yankee, preparing to light a fresh cigar. An amusing ircident occured in New York on the visit of Gen. Grant to that ciyy. He took a cab, and the driver, after deposit- ing the General at his hotel, gave his friends the following toast :--¢ Here's to meself, Dennis Connely, the biggest man in Ameri- ky but one. [I've driven the Lieutenant- eneral of the United States, aud it's more than BobBy Lee ever did." A Frenchman, translating an American book, came to a sentence which related that a sollier tied his horse to a locust (tree) standing in front of a house, Look- ing in the dictionary, he found the word ¢ locust' to be, in French, ¢sauterelle,' meanng ¢ grasshopper." He therefore used the word; {sauterelle' in his translation, thus conveyingthe idea that in America grasshoppers were large enough to admit of a horse being fastened to them, and that one was at the time conveniently standing at the door. ! Every one has lately read of the Bishop of Bath and Wells sitting down, after mak- ing a speech, upon his episcopal shovel hat ; but it is not -half so good an adventure as occurred to one of his predecessors. The bishop referred to dined with one of his neighbours about Christmas time, and among other delicacies was a turkey and sausages, the latter, removed one or two links of them (which he placed in paper) as he took the A footman, who had an'eye to' dish through the hall ; but, being disturbed, dropped the parcel into the pocket of the first great-coat he found, which happened to be the bishop's. Uuable afterwards to secure the stolen prize, the sausages were left in the pocket. The next day the bish- op had to attend a school meeting ; and after addressing the children in a pious strain, and having provided himself with some religious tracts to distribute amongs them, he wound up his address by expiat- ing upon their merits ; but unfortunately, instead of taking out the contents of his left pocket he brought out those of his right, and exposed to the gaze ofthe children a small string of pork sausages! * What'll you lay, Johnson, that T do not prove myself considerably older than you 7* ¢ Why, that's downright nonsenee," re- turned the other; * and as I'm sure of win ning, I'll bet you a rump and a dozen, you cannot do it." : '¢ Well, then,' said the firstapeaker, what is your age to-day 2°. -¢ Forty,' said Johnston. ¢« Why, then,' eried the other triamphant- ly, ¢ as we were both bortr on the same day, I must of aourse be forty too * i A hearty liugh followed this logical de-, n allowed on all hands and n was the ex; 'of adding two years to the ofthe winner. . ¢ Working for bare life is now defined to " seen that the wager was fréely won, although at Nays "ones "selebrating :the evant] by a dinner 0 their mutoal friends, After |® A YOUNG LADY PAPER EATER. A young lady of this city, while at sahool, contracted a bad habit which. she new. finds it impossible to break off--that of chewing paper. Her parents buy it for her by the ream, and she consumes on an average a quire per week, rolling her paper ball under her tongue as a sweet morsel, and squirting the saliva about like an old salt. She is quite a connoiseur in the mat- ter of paper, and evinces a decided prefer- ence for a certain pale blue, Wnrolled foolscap, which smells badly. Deprived of her paper for a day or two, she bocomes restless, distrait and melancholy, reluses to eat or. be comforted and is not herself until a fresh supply is secured. = «How is Miss----- 1?" we enquired of a female triend the other day. ¢ Not well," was the reply, * her paper doesn't agree with her.' We have heard of opium eating, and pencil eating, among the fémale fraternity, but we believe this is the first instance of paper eating that has come under our knowledge. Ifthe yonng lady knew how paper is made we think she would make an extraordinary effort to break off the per- nivious habit. In the hope that this article may pass beneath her eye, we suggest some of the materials which in the course of a month of paper eating, are reduced to pulp between her pretty teeth: Bandages from sore lege, rags [rom the gutter, cotton diapers, shirt tails, and all sorts of miscella- neous odds and enps.

EE ----= ~~ erseose: A FORTUNATE KISS, The following pretty little story is nar- rated by Fredeiika Bremer, who vouches for its truthfuloess : In the great University ot Upsula, in Sweeden, lived a young student, a noble youth with greai love for studies, but with= out means for pursuing them. He was poor, without connections. Still he studied, lived ih great poverty, but keeping a cheer~ ful heart, and trying to look at the future which looked so grim. to him, His goed humor end excellent qualities {made him toloved by his comrades. One day he war standing at the square with some of there, prattling away an hour of leasure, when the attention of the young men be~ came arrested by a young and elegant lady who by the side of an oldér ove, was slowly walking over the place. It was the daugh- ter of the Governor of Upsula, living in the city, and the lady was her governess. She was generally known for her goodness and gentleness of character, and looked at with admiration by all the students. As the young men stood gazing at her as she pass- ed, like a graceful vision, one of. them sud- denly exclaimed : ¢ Well, it would be worth something to have a kiss from such a mouth.' The poor student, the hero of our story, who looked on that pure, angelic face, ex= claimed, as if by inspiration :- Well' I think I could have it." ' Well I' cried his friends in a chorus, are youcrazy * Do yon know her.' ¢ What! iu this place--and before all;our oyes.' " Yes." " Freely 1? " Yes, freely." " Well, if she would give you a kies in that manner, I will give you a thousand dolars !*? exclaimad one of the party. " And I, and 1," exclaimed three or four others, for it happened that several rich men were in the group, and the bets ran high on 80 improbable an event. The challenge was made and received iu less time than we take to tell it. Our hero (my authority tells not whether he wus plan or handsome, any more than that he had loving blue eyes and a slight genteel moustache, not bristles, but silken, and was rather plain in his dress,) walked up to the young lady and said : " Mine fraulien, my fortune is now mn your hands." She looked at him with astonishment, but arrested her steps. He proceeded to state his name and condition, his aspiration, and related simply what had jvet now passed between him and his ccmrades. The young lady hitened attentively, and at his ceasing to speak, she said blushinglys but with great sweetness : «If by so little a thing so much good can be effected, it would be foolish in me to ree fuse your request ;>' and publicly in the open square she kissed him. Next day the student was sent for by the Governor. He wanted to see the man whe dared 1o seek a kiss from his daughter in that way, and whom she consented to kiss. He received him with a scrutinizing bow, but after an hour's conversauon was so pleased with him that be ordered him to dine at his table dunng, his studies at Upsula. 2 ; Our young friend pursned his studies in: «noch a manner that it soon made him re- garded as the most promising student inthe University, 1% wid Three years are now passed since the first Kise; whegythe young wah was allowed to give.
