The annual regatta of the Clydesdale Amateur Rowing Club, recently held at Glasgow, 1862. 'This regatta - the "Scottish Henley" - which came off at Glasgow, on Thursday and Friday, the 11th and 12th instant, under the most auspicious circumstances, proved one of the most successful aquatic gatherings of the season, the magnificent prizes having attracted several of our most distinguished clubs who were represented on the occasion. The arrangements were complete, and afforded satisfaction to both competitors and spectators. The following was the result of the racing: The Champion Cup, with presentation prizes, 100 guineas, was borne off by The Cronies, of the Clydesdale Amateur Rowing Club; the Clydesdale Cup, with presentation cup, 100 guineas, was won by Princess Alice, of the Royal Chester Amateur Rowing Club; the M'Farlane medals fell to Ancient Clydesdale and Tyne; the Corporation Plate was won by the Undine, of Greenock ; the club medals by the Young Clydesdales; the Rifle Cup, with presentation prizes, 50 guineas, by the Tyne; the Gold Medal, a scullers' race, by Lochinvar; the Daglish Cup, £30 - a race for professionals - by the A. P. Lonsdale, of Newcastle'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The annual regatta of the Clydesdale Amateur Rowing Club, recently held at Glasgow, 1862. Creator: Unknown.

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THE WESTERN WING OF QUEEN'S COLLEGE, CORK, ON THURSDAY WEEK, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Destruction by fire of the western wing of Queen's College, Cork, on Thursday week, 1862. 'Fire-engines were soon on the spot; but the fire raged so furiously that there was no hope of saving the wing, and all that could be done was to prevent the flames communicating with the other parts of the building, which was fortunately done. This wing is a large cut-stone building, about 120ft. long by 25ft. or 30ft. wide, containing a range of lecture-rooms connected by a corridor, which runs the whole length. Under each of the doors of the lecture-rooms half-consumed matches were discovered, and the lower edges of the doors just over them were charred and burnt. This has given rise to a suspicion that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and the council are engaged in investigating the matter...Everything in the materia medica room...was destroyed...The pathological museum was destroyed...valuable scientific and other instruments were completely destroyed. Most of the contents of the laboratory were saved, and some of the contents of the engineering department, but very little more. The Queen's College is a handsome quadrangular structure in the Tudor Gothic style...Sir Thomas Deane was the architect, and Mr. John Butler, of Dublin, the builder'.

Funeral of Mr. Braidwood, the late Chief of the London Fire Brigade, in Abney-Park Cemetery, 1861. Creator: Unknown. Funeral of Mr. Braidwood, the late Chief of the London Fire Brigade, in Abney-Park Cemetery, 1861. Braidwood died in the Tooley Street fire. 'Seldom if ever before in London has such a marked tribute of public respect been paid to a private individual. The London Rifle Brigade, the Tower Hamlets Volunteers, all the public and private fire brigades...formed part of the procession, which extended upwards of a mile in length. Every avenue...was blocked by a dense and almost impenetrable crowd, while throughout the entire length of the route along which it was to pass every path was thronged...The cortege, which was of a very imposing character, consisted of...about 1500 policemen; the firemen connected with the various brigades; the hearse and fifteen mourning-coaches...As the procession slowly approached...the bands pealing forth the Dead March, the mass of spectators, as if by an involuntary movement, all uncovered [ie took off their hats], and along the rest of the route this silent token of respect was everywhere observed. On reaching Abney Park the procession turned...down Church-street to the southern gates of the cemetery...the coffin was borne [into the Presbyterian Chapel] by the firemen of the London Brigade'.

Eruption of Mount Vesuvius near the foot of the hill, between Resina and Torre de Greco, as seen from the Marinella at Naples, 1861. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. Roskilly. 'In two or three minutes the smoke had reached the height shown in the Illustration...[a] new crater...burst out on the old lava...The aspect of the village of Torre del Greco is something fearful...Not one house was left uninjured, and a great number were destroyed...the horizon was perfectly obscured, the mouth of the bay hidden by smoke and ashes...[Vesuvius] burst out in double fury, throwing up stones and its ashes...obscuring the midday sun...you could hardly obtain a better idea of the destruction of Pompeii, as given by an eyewitness, Pliny, than the scene that was presented to our view...The whole way from Naples was full of carts of household furniture belonging to those who had deserted the town and fled from the eruptions and earthquakes...Vesuvius was...making most appalling noises, as if the earth was shaken to its very centre...ashes and smoke [were thrown up], and...red-hot stones, as big as one's head, fell around us...Ten minutes afterwards it burst forth, and the place on which I had been standing was literally covered with red-hot stone or lava...'.
