It must be &worded also in justice to the inhabitants of Windsor and Eton that the banks of the river were lined by a considerable number of spectators in carriages and on foot. so that the brave fellows on the water had the con sciousness of feeling that their determination was not wholly unperceived or unrewarded. The boat. started from Eton Bridge before 7 o'clock, and on arriving at Surley Ball the crews partook of, and let us hope enjoyed. the customary repast. The usual loyal and collegiate toasts were drunk. It formed part of the pro gramme that the day'e rejoicing should end in a display of tireworks, but the state of the weather entirely preveuted that intention from being married out. THE MID-JUNE OAR RACES. On June 16th, 17th, and 18th, three contests are arranged to come off in London. The ant of the three, that on the ltith, is to occur between Chamber', of Newcaetle-on•Tyne, who has three times carried off the champion prize of the Thames, and an Australian oarsman, named Green, new to European fame. The second contest, of the 17th, takes place between Tesadide Wilms, from the Tyneside, and George Drewitt, of Lon don ; to be followed, on the lath, by one between Cooper, of the Northern Themes, and Everson, of Greenwich, lately defeated by Chamber.. The Newcastle Daily Chronicle, which keeps a watchful eye over the fame of the Tyneside, warm the aquatic representatives of that region to give good heed to their training that they may worthily sustain the fame now challenged in the metropolis. Jewett, of Dunstan, has built Cooper a handsome skiff —a sharp pointed attenuated wave-cutter—that looks very like a prize-winner. The Australian candidate for aquatic honors has also a new boat in prospect, which is to ex ceed all boats heretofore known. Trainers, oar-racers, and boatbuilders are all at work, and looking forward, from Putney to amnia, for the mid-June strumtles. CRICKET. UTZ JAM OF TIM ANOI,IO44I.XVIir. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. The official inquiry into the loss of the steam ship Anglo-Saxon was resumed to-day before Mr. Raffia and Captains Baker and Harris. The first witness examined was W. Jenkins, purser of the Anglo-Saxon, who said that of the passengers on board at the time there were saved 33 cabin and 104 steerage, 71 officers and men of the crew, and one HMI officer, making a total of B)9. There were drowned 15 cabin and 'ale steerage passengers and 15 of the mew, including the captain, total, 938. Witness wee below when the vessel struck, and so slight was the shock, thathe scarcely noticed it. lie heard the captain then cry out " Herd a starboard ;" witness then went on deck. When he reached the deck, he heard the captain giving instruc tion* to back the ship at full speed. After this witness went forward and helped the captain to get a rope ashore. In their first attempt the rope slipped from their hands, but ultimately two ropes were secured to the rocks, and by these a number of steerage passengers were conveyed to the shore. When the ship began to settle down there was a great rush to the shore side, and the people jumped into the water, but as there was 30 feet of water space between the ship and the shore a great number of the passengers were drowned, although • few were rescued by being pulled out of the water with the ropes. Whilst the ship was breaking up the mainmast fell seaward. There were a number of persona clinging to it, and they were carried over the ship and drowned, it being impossible to render assistance from the shore. Witness saw No. 3 boat capsized with about a dozen passengers in it. The boat struck on the rocks bottom upwards, and was dashed to pieces. There were some people in the fore rigging, but only two were rescued, and a number of passengers in the other parts of the rigging were also drowned. When it was impossible to save any more lives some of the crew were despatched in search of human habitations, and the people busied themselves in securing wood and other necessaries for an emer gency. Before the vessel broke up witinas saw Captain Burgess, who was at the gangway assisting passengers into the baskets, and saw him again on deck about live minutes before the ship settled down. Captain Burgess wags second officer in the Montreal service from 11456 to 1859, and a first officer from 1859 to 1861, after which time he sailed as a master. The c .ptain was up night after night whilst the ship was approaching and in the ice, and he appeared to do everything that was right. Witness had the highest opinion of the captain, h as• sailor and • man. Voyages to Quebec bed been made earlier in the season than when the Anglo-Saxon started. He (witness) bad gone • week earlier in 1858. During that voyage the St. Lawrence was found clear of ice, though • great quantity of field ice was passed in the Gulf stream. The lUth of April was about the usual time the spring voyages commented. Witness never heard of one of the boats landing with only five persons in it. M')isster, first engineer, was next examined. He described the voyage until Sunday the 26th April at 2 p.m. when the ice off Newfoundland was cleared and the engines ware worked at full speed. The engines were kept at full speed until eight o'clock the next morning, when the fog became very dense, and the captain ordered them to be put at hall speed. At haltpast 11 a.m. was standing on the bridge with the captain, when the first officer reported that he heard the 'wadi:4 breakers. The captain said, 'lt cannot be ; tt must be ice." Shortly after this the look-out shouted " Breakers a-head." The captain then ordered the engines to be reversed at full speed. This was done, but the vessel struck on the rocks astern. Witness then ordered the second engineer to stand by the bilge pumps, and the ship was then turned ahead at full speed, in com please with the captain's instructions. Witmer again felt the ship strike forward, and finding the water rising in the stokeholes, ordered the safety valves to be opened. The men in his department then went on deck and assisted in getting the boats out. He concurred in the statements made by the last witness relative to the lauding of pas sengers' Am Witness explained that he assisted in towing No. 2 boat toCepe Baca. He had been sent off from the ship to look for • landing to a boat which contained but few persona. She was in charge of a merchant captain named Crawford, who was a passenger ou board the Anglo-Saxon. The boat was unable to find • landing, and also, on account of the fog, was unable to return to the ship. Mr. O'Dowd said he was glad that this statement had been made, as it set at rest an allegation that the boat was capable of containing 40 persons, and through some carelessness had only a few people in it. Gilbert Little, segment purser, was the next witness examined. His statements contained no fact of intereet. On Monday, A.E.E. v. 22 of Union Club will be 'dazed at Southampton ; and U.A.E.E. and 20 of Northern Club (with two bowlers), at Seaton& On Wednesday Household Maeda v. Royal Artillery, at Lord's ; and on Thursday Surrey v. Sumas at The Oval ; Kent v. Notts, at Nottingham ; and M.C.C. and Ground v. Present Hann visas, at Harrow. COUNTY of BUSHEY V. YOHICSHIBL—This match was resumed yesterday morning from the previous evening, on the Surrey ground, Kennington-oval. Rain, however, aeon came on, and stopped the play till hall-past 4. when it we/ again resumed. The match will be continued this morning at 11 o'clock. MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND AGAINST THE COUNTY or SURVEIL—Thin great match will be commenced on Monday at Lord's ground. The following is a list of the sides :—Marylebone Club and ground.—Mr. W. Ben thall, Mr. C. G. Charles, Mr. R. Forster, Mr. W. Nichol we, Mr. F. & Stacey, Mr. E. Trsdoroft, Mr. C. Wadeson, /Kamen, Grundy, Hearne, Wooten. Sumex.—Visconnt Tumour, Mr. A. G. Chapman, Mr. J. H. Hale, Mr. W. Bedpan, Ellie, Lilly white, J. Lilly white, jun., Stubber field, Wharton, Wells, Widen. The Field says :—" If his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales be willing to cultivate the most beautiful part of our racing system, so as to add utility to the per sonal pleasure and popularity he •ill attain, then we say let him turn his attention to the breeding of thorough-bred stock. There is a magnificent opening, which may be entered upon under the best auspices—the good wishes of a whole people. The most skilful ad vice, we are assured, would be at the Prince's service. He is surrounded by gentlemen of ex perience and of practical sod theoretical knowledge. The racecourse has learnt to do little enough, as it now exists, to insure the fulfilment of its original intention ; it improves remarkably the condition and pockets of some of its votaries, but it Nile to affect, in the minutest degree, the general capability of the hack or the hunter which we rids. It is worse than useless, for its perpetuation of bad horses is mischievous ; and there is perhaps nothing in the world about which a betting man knows so little as about the hone which he backs, if we regard its quality or form." George Fordham, who met with an accident in the first race at Ascot on Thursday last, through Curie falling on him, was much better on Friday evening, though confined to his bed, being very much bruised and shaken. ROYAL THA)Ln YACHT CLOG—The second and fourth-class races of the above club for the usual valuable pprinses will take place on Thursday next, from Erith to the NoreiLight and back, and will he accompanied by the Prince of Wales steamer, which will leave Adelaide-wharf, London bridge, at 10 o'clock, for the conveyance of the members of the club oely and their friends.

The sacred drama of Jonah, composed by Mr. Silas, is not modelled on the conventiocial style of oratorios, and is mid to present several interesting distinctive features. Two Voixtrraams BlLL—Last evening a meeting of the committee, representing the interests of these volun teen who object to certain provisions in this bill, was held at the Whittington Club, with a view to orpoise a public meeting, preparatory to the measure being taken into the Home of Lords. It was slated that the committee having succeeded in getting clause 19( which rendaredyol U 0 teen liable to be called out in cam of riot) expunged io the House of Commons, were resolved to make an effort to produce the same result in regard to clauses 21 and 24, in the House of Lords. The opinion of Lieutenant-Colonel Wards, com manding the London Rifle Bilged., was produced, exprem ing his approval of the objections to those clauses ; end a strong feeling was =maenad in opposition to the bill as it now stood in the House of Commons. Yr. John Leber., optician, who adjusts the compasses of the principal steamship companies, deposed that he adjusted the compass of the Anglo Saxon supplied by Mr. Gray on the let of November, mad he found it pettedly correct. The compass was a new one at that time. Samuel T. Green, mail officer, remembered the morning of the 27 th of April. On the evening of Sunday witness had a conversation with Capt. Burgess. He was aware of the distance they were from Cape Race, and the rate the ship was going—twelve mile. en hour—and he made a calculation, and found we should be at Cape Race about eight o'clock on the following morning. W Anima met the captain, and said, " Captain Burger, I suppose we shall bs up at the Cape at eight o'clock to-morrow morning." The captain considered a moment or two, and then said, " Yes, about eight o'clock." Witness was aware of instruc tor:a having been given to call at Cape Race to Imre the state of the St. Lawrence, and whether the ship should proceed there or go to another port. He expected instruotiorm from the government relative to the mails would be delivered at Caps Race. He came on deck a few submits, before eight o'clock on the morning of the 27th, and found the ship stripped of all canvas, and going at half speed. He spoke to the captain, tad asked him how long he thought the weather would continue unfavourable, and asked ban if he would sight the Cape, and the captain said " Certainly not." Witham then raked him where he would go, and he said to Quebec, as they were then 17 miles to the southward of that point, and they would be going out of their way. At about 11 a.m. witness was in the office writing, when he became conscious that the ship bad stopped, and thinking the ship was at Cape Race he went on deck at the port side, where he met the second engineer, who took hold of him and ex claimed, "My God! Sir. Green, have you seen that!" and he then looked out and saw land far above the mast head. He then went to the bridge, and said. " My God' captain, what is this!" The captain said something which he did not understand. After this he went to the engine tele graph, at the request of the captain, and put the vessel a.head slow. The look-out cried, • Breakers a-head," and the engines were then reversed at full speed. After this he went to the bridge, and when he goc there the ship came crash againA the rocks. The engines at this time began to tell oo her, and ran her esters, but she struck again heavily io that dinction ' and again went forward. W Auriga went to the side of th e vessel, looked over, and saw that the rudder had been carried away, and that the pro peller had a large piece knocked out of it. He informed the captain that the rudder was gone, and when she struck again the order was given to let go both anchors, sod he heard the chains running out. Orders were then given to clear the bate. A good many people got into No 2 boat, which was in charge of Captain crawford, who said he would look for a landing place. The captain said that would do, bat Crawford must burry back again. The boat was not halt fall, but it never returned. Captain Burger repeatedly asked where Captain Crawford was, and frequently said, " My God ! where has Crawford goner' Another boat went away with the fourth officer and some passengers and gallon. No. 4 boat was taken possession of by pert of the crew—five sailors. Directly these men were in the boat they pushed off from the ship and lay in the offing, about 100 yude from the ship. Two of the boats were rendered useless, by hanging directly over the rooks. Witness asked the captain to afford him the meson of saving the mails. and he said he would do so when the paseeugers were attended to. Mr. Hove, the chief officer, and others, eodea- Toured to make No. 4 boat come to the rescue, but the sailors would pay no attention. The captain asked witness if he would take charge of the bosh; said bring "those scoundrels in," meaning the sailors in No. 4 boat, and he said he would du so. The captain was vexed with the men, se witness never maw him out of temper before. W hen wither procured a boat, he pulled out to No. 4, sod asked the men Why the they did not come in The men said they could not, as the people would swamp Huh. boat. Withers said hie instructions were to run into their brat if they would not obey orders, and that the captain would hang them on a yardarm. Witness further told the men that there was no danger, as there were only • few women and children, and that be would take the first in stalment. His boat took in 21 passengers, amongst them the Hon. Mrs. Young, and No. 4 boat then came alongside and took the saloon passengers who ware saved. After this, witnem's boat took the Hon. Mr. Young and two other passengers from No. 4. If there had been ten minutes logger they might have saved the whole of the saloon passengers, bat the ship began to heel over, and the boats were obliged to pull away. The captain nd first officer were exerting themselves to the utmost. After pulling away witness did not see the captain again. Witness pinked up two passengers who were swimming in the water —the Rev. C. P. Eaton, and Captain Cassidy, of the 30th Regimeat. A letter was here read from the Rev. C. Eaton and Captain Cassidy, stating that one of the boats deserted them, and that if it had not been for Mr. Green they would have IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF MERCHANT BEAMEN.—A public meeting of merchants, shipowners, commanders of vemele, end others interested in maritime affairs wee held yesterday at the London Tavern, to bear an address from Captain Toynbee on the beet measures to be adopted for improving the condition of the merchant icemen of Great Britain. Sir JAMIE DUKE, M.P., presided, sad expressed his entire sympathy with the object of the meeting, and his willingness to render every aid in carrying it into effect. Captain Toynbee then delivered • lengthy address on the present condition of the tailors in the merchant service, which, although he proved of late wan, still fell far abort of what it ought to be, aid pointed out many measures which, if adopted, would greatly improve that condition. The pro minent features urged in the plan of Captain Toyota's were the establishment of • home for the wives and families of sailors while absent abroad. and the formation of a fund, to which sailors should subscribe, to make a provision for themselves in old age, and for the support of their widows and orphans after their decease. The gallant captain pointed out how these thinpeould be accomplished if set about in a right spirit. He said the suclena of such • fund se the one proposed already existed in the amount now lying as un claimed sailors' wages, amounting to 60,0001., which could not be mere appropriately used. Them wen a large sum also lying idle at the Trinity-house, which would no doubt be available. Captain Maude, RN., Lientenent Captain Shaw, end other gentlemen, expressed a ge sanl approval of the views enunciated by Caption Toynbee, to whom a vote of thanks was given for his addrees, and one to the chairman for presiding on the clocasios.

THE FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT CAMBRIDGE. An inquiry was held yesterday at the Rsd Lion, in the village of Grantchester (about two miles from Cambridge), before Mr. Barlow, coron'r for the county, into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Isaac Pull, student and scholar of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, who was drowned in the River Cam, between Cambridge and Grantcheeter, on the previous day, as reported in our yesterday's impression. The Rev. Mr. Fuller, of Em manuel College, was present, representing the friends of the deceased. The following evidence was adduced : Mr. David Jones Davis., undergraduate of Emmanuel College, deposed— I knew the deceased, Mr. Isaac Peak ; be was of Emmanuel College, too. Yesterday deceased, I, and another (Mr. James Barden Adamson) came up the river in canoes. We left Cambridge about half-past nine. Mr. Adamson is of Emmanuel. Neither of us was accustomed to rowing in canoes. It was the first time we had done so. Neither of us could swim. We all agreed to go in canoes, but did not think of the danger. We started from Good's boat-house, by the mill, cameop the river slowly, and reached within about half a mile of Grantcheater. There is there a slight bend in the river, and • very deep hole. I was a little in front of and Mr. Adamson • little behind deceased, each • few yards. I saw Mr. Peak's canoe capsize and himself immersed. He did not sink at first, but struggled in the water. There was a short in- terval, during which he was quiescent, sod then he strug gled again ; his bead wee then not quite covered. He fell on his back after the second struggle, with hie arms lifted up. I then saw him sink gradually till the depth of water hid him front my sight. I was in great confusion. I tried to reach the bank. Mr. Adamson reached the bank before I did ; but by the time we were up the bank Mr. Peek had sunk out of sight. He had made no complaint that morning of pain or numbness in the head, but conversed in his usual style when on the river. He appeared quite in his usual health. I have known him duce last. October. Deceased was about 20 years of age. On reaching the bank Mr. Adamson ran with all speed to the village, directing me to wait at the enact spot. Tne accident occurred at half-past 10. About 10 to 15 minutes after Mr. Adamson started for the village he was back with amistance. When they arrived I left to procure something to get deceased up. When I»- tamed I saw men in the water. The drags were obtained, and eventually the body was brought to shore with them ; that was about 20 to 25 minutes after he sank, and be ap to be quite dead. All did their best to recover Mi r : ed He was undressed, rubbed with blankets, and artifi cial respiration was attempted to be brought about, but all was of no avail, and I and Mr. Adamson left to acquaint the College authorities. I returned, sad found that the body had been removed to this house, and medical men were esent. pr By the Foreman—There had been no "larking)' on the river; we all rowed up slowly and steadily. Mr. James Barden Adamson, undergraduate of Emmanuel, in the main corroborated the evidence of the last witness. He said : We bad none of us been in canoes before. I could not swim, but I had heard Mr. ?ask say he could swim • stroke or two. I was behind Mr. Pask—about 20 yards—so that my face was directed to hie back, but I did not see him actually capsized. When I heard the splash and saw him in the water he was in front of his boat: the head of the latter was directed straight up the river. Can give no information at all as to the eau's' of the capsize. Ceo my nothing as to the current at the spot of the accident, as I never reached it. For a short time after immersion deceased appeared to be endeavouring to support himself by what is termed " treading water,' but he suddenly threw up his handsaell on his back, and sunk. He only made one exclamation when in the water, when he threw up his hands, and that was, " Oh!" I tan off for assistance as woe as I reached the bank. Two men went into the water after deceased, but the body was recovered by the dregs at the first attempt. It bed then been in the water at least twenty-five minutes. The accident took place at the widest part of the river. Mr. Thomas Smsllman, of Grantchester. said he was summoned to assist, and on has way, finding the body hod not been brought out, sent back for • small private drag, with which he brought out the body at the first throw. Two men were in the water searching for deceased when witness arrived, but their efforts were impeded by the congregation of a number of females on the bank, so that modesty restrained the men from getting out of the river to plunge. The position of the body was revealed to witness by a transitory gleam of sun shine. It was nearer the aids than the middle of the river. The water is more than 12 feet deep there. De ceased was quite dead when taken out. Witness tried all means prescribed by the Royal Humane Society for the resuscitation of apparently drowned persona, but without effect, till Mr. Fawcett, enrgeon, of Cambridge. arrived, and pronounced him dead. Was told on arrival at the river that the body had been 20 minutes in the water then, sod it was 20 minutes more before it was taken out. Some delay was caused by • person telling witness's little boy (the messenger) that the small drag was of no use, and sending him to a farm-house for a horse drag ; so that witness had to send a second messenger for the small dreg. The jury immediately returned a verdict of "Acci dentally drowned," all concurring in the danger of the um of the canoe. by persons who cannot swim. The remains of the deceased have since been brought to Loudon for interment. This unfortunate occurrence has thrown a gloom over the whole of the University, but more especially the society of which Mr. Peak was • member, in which be had just concluded the June examination, and achieved the place of honour of first man of his year. The unfortunate young man received his early education at the North London Collegiate School, at which he gained the highest honours, and carried off an unusual share of prizes. His loss is a severe blow to his unhappy parents, whose hopes were centred in his future career, from which much was expected by all who knew him. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

Harrington-street, but, per haps, better known al Lieutenant-Colonel in the Li verpool Rifle Brigade, and for the great interest he from the first took in the volunteer movement. The deceased was cousin of Mr. Robertson Gladstone, of this town, and also of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Although at one time a member of the Liverpool Dock Committee, he local affairs.
