FROM our Shanghai news it will he observed that the Girsagie, the "crack" steamer of the "Glen" line has started on her homeward journey with the new season's teas. She was reported at anchor at Woosung on the morning of the 27th ultimo; left the Red Huay at 4 pm. the same day, and is by this time doubtless well on her way to Singapore. We saw it reported the other day that this fine new vessel would not attempt anything in the shape of a quick pas sage, but would be contented with making an average of 10 knots.

The condemned wore an ordinary dress, not the garb of a convict. He partook of a good breakfast. Only three reporters were present at the hanging. The procession entered the yard of the prison fifty five minutes past eight, when the prison bell was telling the death knell. The Chaplain headed the procession. He was followed by two prison officials, with their prisoner, who until the time of starting had been calm and composed, but who now looked awfully pale and dejected, and seemed very nervous. He was supported by the wardens on either side, and was with difficulty able to ascend the steps to the scaffold. He was met by Marwood, the executioner, at the foot of the steps. The prisoner was barelicaded. The operation of pinioning him seemed interminable. He submitted without a word, and hardly seemed to appreciate what was going on. From the steps there was a distance of about sixty yards to traverse to the gallows. Lam- son was supported with difficulty from this point to the scaffold. He swayed backward and forward, and stared wildly around him when placed under the noose. The Chaplain appeared much affected, and began reading the burial service.

THE sculling race for the Championship of the World and £1,000, between Edward Hanlan of Toronto, Canada, and Edward Tricket, of Sydney, New South Wales, was rowed over the Thames Championship Course on May 1st, and ended in the easy victory of the Canadian. Long odds were laid on Hanlan, who won the toss for choice of positions and selected the Middlesex side. The result was never in doubt from the start. Hanlan rowed thirty-eight strokes in the first minute, and at once took the lead routing easily and neatly. His time for the first mlio was five minutes and seven seconds.
