The oucceidul crews of 1861-2-3 were unquestionably three of the finest that have ever bees produced fres Otford University, Yes. Hoare, of Exeter, being the ad :ramble stroke cc each ocitasioe. The crew of 1863 has been so broken up es to require groat trouble and +-MN; ; anther Mews. Booze, Morrison of Baitwl , Woodgete of Branson, nor Awdry of Bellied, being in this year's party ; while we hear that Mr. Awdry has bees recently re moved and substituted by Mr. Kelley, of University, se QM the only gentlemen who had earned off the 1111134ii0 knows remaining in the boat are Mears. Shepherd, of Braman. Jecobsoe, of Christ Church : and Mr. C. Carr, of Wedham . The retirement of such daiabsol eangoen as we have named has indeed ren dered it a difficult matter to supply their pleas ; but the Uravenity hes still the advantage of the ezperienoe and un remitting attention of Mamma, Rome and Morrison in aiding them to place the best eight oarsman in the boat. Last year the Ozooians were beforehand in getting then crew together, and from its first outline but few changes were ands. This year the Cantabe, however, seem to have that advantage, and our last amounts Mate that the eight are beginning to row so well together, and are programing so - favourably, es to 611 their friends with the fullest expec tation that they will this year retrieve their last laurels. The recent displacement@ in the Oxford bait, we bear, Are Misers. Kelley. Wynnsjand Pareoe,for, Sommer, Beethoven and Awdry. It is augmented that there will be but little netessity for soy further material change, sad the Cullen' sew is the 'sine as in our last account. In a day or two we shall be enabled to supply a list of both crews, with the existing weights. COURT OF ALDERMEN. A Court of Aldermen wee held ou Tuesday ; Or Right Had. the LORD Moron presided.

They were also of opinion, and he etheurred with them, that the Warman' multitude of per uses that would he collected, a great many of whom would, 'undoubtedly, be the very scum of society, might be produe tive of some serious outrages and crimes, and he wished to bow whether the, was any precedent for the execution et pirates, as them men were, in the City of Leaden. He lad always understood that it was the practice to mecum such persons et the river shore, or at one of the comport towns, sad he was desirous of being informed whe ther the sheriffs bad takes any steps to save the citizens of leedon from sash a dreadful exhibition, and whether they bad made any onnianairataon to the Home Secretary upon the subject!

In this recommendation the coroner concurs. At the meeting of managers held this day, their opinion was so strongly expressed an to the difficulties which would attend an order for the compulsory use of uninflammable muslin, kr., that the Lord Chamberlain cannot at present undertake to give • general order for its adoption. He would wish, however, that managers should employ it whenever possible, and should generally imprint upon the ladies engaged by them the dangers to which they expose themselves by ridging to avail them ram of this simple precacitioe. The Lord Chamberlain is glad to tint that iu most of the theatre. ender his astral guards to the (wild and Sher fixed bghte have already been adopted. He bee thought it sacesory to Woo a general order on this important point. The Lord Cham berlain begs to imps= upon the managers that the public is becoming more and more disposed to bold them rinpois- ' Elsie for accident' by fire occurring in the houses under their control; and would suggest that speedy sad certain punishment should be imilicted by them upon all ponces in their service guilty of carelessness in this I respect. The Lord Chamberlin would also urge upon the ' managers the importance of facilitating, by every Knauss in their power, the epees of all dame of their audienem from their theatres. He acksowledges, with pleasure, that mock has of late years been effected ; but much room far improve ment still exists, and he lopes to find that his caution la this respect has been attended to when the salt enamel inspection takes piece. The Lord Chamberlain encloses herewith • copy of reptlition, to be _Psated is • ose. spicnous position in the theatres.

This was s petition presented far the payment out of court at about DOW. which had been paid in by the execu tors of the terator's will on serest of • legacy and share of residue bequeathed to the petitioner. The will was made in 1849, but the testator did not die till August, 1862. In January, 1858, the petitioner (a lady) became a Boma catholia, sod was received into tir Roman catholic church by Dr. Faber, thee superior of re Orrery, Brampton. In November, 1860, she eftl England sad entered the Car =elite Convent, Paris. Subsequently, in April, 1861, she made her religious profession u • nun, and took the three solemn vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. In June, 1862, she assented • dead conveying all her property, present and future, to two trustees, epos trust, to sell and pay the proceeds to the superior for the time being of the Brampton Oratory. The petition prayed payment of the food in court to these treaties. Originally it was only served upon the exe cutors, bet epos their suggesting that some of the other residuary legatees claimed the property epos the ground that the petitioner was civilly dead at the time of the tes tator's death, his Honour ordered some of these legatees to be served. Mr. Belem Q.C., and Mr. Burdos appeared in support of the petitioe ; Mr. Bowfin for the executors. Mr. Gent, the husband of cue of the residuary legatees, appeared in porous, and submitted to say order the court might make. Mr. thigallay, Q.C., for others of the residuary legates; disclaimed all desire on the part of his cheats to obtain the fund for themselves, but resisted the prayer of the peon upon the gronads-1, that the pettinessr was civilly deed at the time of the testator's death ; sad 2, that she was clearly not now a free men; and ought to he . plytootod by the COOrt from the undue influence under waltz she was acting. The also was argued last term. The Master of the Bolls this morning delivered judgment. Hs expremed a very decti:•ici opinion that a professed nun was not now aisqmauled &era boldieg property, sod that the fluid la wort was the property of the petitioner and of no use elm. Bet as the court had espeess notice that she I was wader duress, sad was sot morally a free agent, and that if she knew of the petition ahe wee Pot in • positerm to di avow it, he should not pert with the mosey out of court without being fully astielled that the petitioner herself was willing to p e th it. H. should therefore make no order upon a• hoped &remiss the iiooollll of the food to be accumulated. No ante would be given to any party. 0017 RT OF QIIRENTI BENCH. —Fs& 10.
