An opinion of the soundness of this security, and of the value of the distributive share of surplus profit offered to the Deben ture-holders, may be formed from reports annexed, to the printed particulars, and the consideration that Trouville is one of the choicest marine resorts in France, where the noblesse spend their summer. It lies on the coast of Normandy, opposite to Havre, directly south of the Isle of Wight, and possesses one of the largest and most comfortable hotels in France, public rooms, gardens, walks, slopes green to the water's edge, and sands superior to those of Scarborough or Ramsgate.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 1869. t t:lr ot __.,f, ~ - lin , ~, ..„. said one of the leading unionists, " are made for men, not for masters. We do not take masters into account at all. We merely look upon them as men who step in with their capital, and who want to get the greatest profit they can out of their capi tal while we want to get the greatest profit we can out of our labour." The commissioners assume that this is a right statement of the position, and they have to frame their resolutions accordingly. They do not disguise their desire that a better feeling pre vailed ; they strongly recommend councils of con ciliation ; they hope that partnerships of industry may spread, though they evidently have not much faith in a principle which makes no arrangement for a due participation in losses on the part of the workmen. Whether that objection proves fatal to the system or not, it is one which will spread very slowly. In the meanwhile the need of immediate action is urgent. The measures which are recommended assume that trades unions will continue, and are intended to make those bodies less offensive in their operation, without impairing their efficiency. The commis sioners admit the right of working men to combine as much as that of masters ; nay, it is even more right for the first to combine, because the working man singly is much weaker than the master singly. They would, therefore, repeal those laws which make combination unlawful, except in so far as it is intended to promote unlawful acts. Mr. HuGuEs and Mr. HARRISON would make no reser vation, and trust to the criminal law for dealing with such acts. All the commissioners are for giving legal protection to the funds of trades unions. But in doing this they would protect the members, not only against fraudulent officials, but also against what may be called an honest misappro priation of funds. The objects of unions are two-fold : the provision of sick relief and the other benefits of a friendly society, and the furnishing of funds for carrying on strikes. The amount of money necessary for the first object is easily determined by the ordi nary tables ; but the second object is necessarily an uncertain one ; and if the two be mixed up together, both must be uncertain. As a matter of fact, two of the largest and most important trade societies in the kingdom, generally looked upon as models in con stitution and management—the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners and the Amalgamated Society of Engineers are, as regards their engage ments as benefit and friendly societies, already in a state of insolvency. The remedy for this is a com plete separation of the two accounts, and the regis tration of unions under the Friendly Societies' Act, together with the publication of their balance sheets. These recommendations refer to the relations between the unions and their members ; far more important are those between the unions and non members. These may be either employers or employed. As regards the second, the commissioners say that "the workmen who think it for their advantage to combine together in a disposal of their labour are no more justified in constraining any other workman, who does not desire such an association, to combine with them— to bring his labour into common stock with theirs—than an association of capitalists is in constrain ing an individual capitalist to bring his capital into common stock with theirs; and it is the more impor tant that the law should protect the non -unionist workman in his right freely to dispose of his labour as he thinks fit, because, standing alone, he is the less able to protect himself." Knob-stick is ill-treated because he is supposed to be a traitor to his class ; but that is merely a private opinion on the part of the members of that class, and cannot be recognised by the law. We need scarcely add that the commissioners there fore disapprove of pickets ; while as for rattening and murder, they are criminal acts punishable by the common law, and, a fortiori, snore atrocious. But the master has to be protected as well as his work men. Therefore any attempt to make him discharge an unpopular foreman, who may, perhaps, have become unpopular by reason _ b;. --- . . ought to be considered illegal. In a word, there are four objects to which unions at present devote them selves which the commissioners disapprove —pre venting the employment, or limiting the number, of apprentices in a trade ; (2) preventing or limiting the use of machinery; (3) preventing any workman from taking a sub-contract, or working by the piece, or working in common with non-union men ; (4) the interference of one union in a dispute between an employer and the members of another union. There will be no doubt in the public mind that the three first of these objections are well sustained. The fourth is, perhaps, more open to question. But the general tendency of the report is eminently fair and conciliatory. There is abundant reason, though, we are afraid, less hope, that the re port will be accepted by the employed as a just settlement of the present dispute betwe en them and their employers. 7HE BENEvoLEN 7 'SOCIETY OF ST. PA? RICK. Yesterday being St. Patrick's Day, the anniver sary dinner of this society Was held in Willis's rooms, St. James's ; the Earl of Cork and Orrery, K.P., in the chair. The society was founded in the year 1784, and has for its object the improvement of the condition of the children of poor deserving Irish parents re sident in London. Amongst the company present were the Marquis of Clauricarde, K.P. ; the Earl of Darnley, the Earl of Erne, the lion. E. O'Neill, M.P. ; the Right Hon. Colonel Wilson-Patten, M.P. ; Sir R. Howard (treasurer), Sir Leopold M'Clintock, Mr. T. Meyrick, M.P. ; Mr. F. M'C ; Mr. Sergea n t S le i gh, Colonel l c u i r l e a , rle A y l. , P Mr. E. Havil an d B urke, M.P. ; Mr. i‘p Hogg, th e H on . W. Massey, and Capt. Corscadden, Queen's Westminster Rifles. The Knights of St. Patrick wore the insignia of their order. After a dinner that gave the utmost satisfaction —and most deservedly so—the customary loyal and professional toasts were given, Colonel Hogg re sponding for the army, Sir L. M'Clintock fur the navy, and Mr. Charley, M.P., for the Volunteers. In proposing the toast of the evening, "The Bene volent Society of St. Patrick," the noble chairman pleaded forcibly in behalf of the charity. He re minded the guests that the society was founded in 1784 for the purpose of improving the condition of the children of poor but deserving Irish parents re sident in London. Four hundred children of either sex were now in the schools of the society,where, in addition to a plain but useful education they have the advantage of good clothing and a substantial daily meal during the winter months. The care of these children does not cease when t h ey l eave sc h oo l, b ut after being fitt e d f or respectable emp l oyment t h ey are watched over during several subsequent years and annually commended and awarded it their em ployers report favourably of their conduct. The past year, in the opinion of the sub-committee, had been a prosperous one for the society, partly in consequence of the presence of the Prince of Wales at the last anniversary dinner. The toast was warmly we-cowed, and, as usual, it was fol lowed by the usual collection of su b scr i pt i ons. " The Lord-Lieuten ant o f Ireland" was next pro posed, the Chairman observing that though he thought in these days of telegraphy the office was little more than a sinecure, he must say that the late Government had a singul rly excellent choice in the selection of the Duke of Abercoin— (loud applause) —and he also thought that the present Lord Lieu tenant would carry on the Government of Ireland in a fair and impartial spirit, and with a determi nation to do justice between the various views and creeds. (Hear, hear.) The list of subscriptions ! and donations amounted to £572. One or two other toasts followed, and the company dispersed. Mr. C. Coote's band performed a charming selec tion of national airs during dinner and afterwards. The speeches were interspersed with sings by Miss Banks, Miss Eyles, Mr. W. Coates, Mr. J. W. Fielding, &c. The French are now importing large quantities of Duuvine'e old Irish whisky. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY ON _FOREIGN MISSIONS On WeLinesday night the Archbishop of Canterbury presided at a crowded meeting of the supporters of the Church Missionary Society. The most rev, chairman spoke at some length of the representations of those who argued that missions should be promoted at home rather than abroad. Satirists might represent that I Teause foreign missions were advocated, home duties were neglect , cl, but experience had proved that those who were most anxious to extend the spiritual agencies at home were equally zealous in their desires to increase their influence abroad. He reminded those present of Christ's command to preach the Gospel in every land, and urged that extending Christian sympathy to other lands did not deprive the people of our own country of the advantage of Christian instruction. If they felt interested in those who had but few opportunities of grace, how much more should they feel sympathy with those who had none ! He denied the frequently reiterated statement that the pr, -ess of foreign missions was not commensurate with t:: expenditure they involved. Even if such were the case they should not relax in their efforts, for the seed lying in the ground for a time might at length burst forth. Light might conic when it was least expected. The testimony of residents in India had been adduced to prove the case to which he had referred. As well might the testimony of some members of West end clubs be taken to prove that no distress prevailed in Bethnal Green. He had himself received a letter from Madras very recently, in which it was stated that 19 natives had been ordained deacons within a short time, the addition of which to the number already existing making a total of 50 native clergy in the province. Not only were the poor of India becoming converts, but also some persons of family and " caste." He exhorted them, instead of relinquishing the enterprise they had under taken, to renew their exertions to promote its ultimate success. 'HE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK ON THE RITUAL JUDGMENT. The Eastern Morning News publishes a letter of the Archbishop of York upon the recent Ritual judgment. It is sent in answer to inquiries on the subject from Canon Brooke. "W. Ebor " writes : "I had hoped that the bishops might have agreed upon some general advice to address to the clergy, as to the results which seem to many to follow from the cause of Mr. Ma elconochie. But it has been thought desirable that each bishop should address his own diocese. This I hope soon to have an opportunity of doing in a snore formal manner, in my charge ; but in the meantime I send you the following suggestions The judgment decided only the two points before the court—that lights were not to be used on the communion table in the day time, and that the minister was not at liberty to kneel or prostrate himself at the communion table during the use of the Prayer of Consecration. A great deal more has been inferred from it, but it must be remembered that a judgment should always be construed exactly, and should not be made the premises of every possible inference that may seem deducible from it. For example, some have found in this judgment a justification for turning the back upon the people during the Prayer of Consecration. But this was never argued before the court, which would have had, before deciding it, to consider on which side is `before the table,' since that another rubric leaves the precise position of the table undefined ; also, whether, ' before the table' means more than at the table,' an interpretation made very probable by the Welsh translation of our Prayer book ; also, how the priest, so standing, can consecrate the elements ' before the peo: . - de,' if that means in the sight of the people, as most people think it does. T arnestly advise all the clergy eo have hitherto consecrated at the north side of the table to continue that practice, which I believe to be the right one, and which in this diocese has had till just lately the witness of universal custom in its favour. And, gene. rally. I venture to advise the clergy to abstain from making sudden changes in the mode of celebrating the services, in view of the coming report of the Ritual Commission, and the possibility of legislation founded thereupon. If any of my brethren feel himself in any doubt or difficulty, I shall be glad to advise him privately upon any question he may submit to me.— Earnestly praying God to guide and bless you in all your 'abours." LAW AND POLICE. THE EARL OF DURHAM.—The Lord Chancellor on Wednesday heard an appeal in the case of Charlton v. the Earl of Durham. It will be remembered that some time ago Vice-Chancellor James decided in the ears s • r"I " • WWI the sum of £2,500, with interest, paid by the Earl to one of the executors of his creditor. This executor gave the receipt in due form, but appropriated the money, and his co - executor demanded another payment from the Earl of Durham. The Lord Chancellor dismissed the appeal, with costs, without calling on the counsel for the defence. RATING IN TILE NEW MEAT MARKET.-At Guildhall, on Wednesday, several salesmen holding premises in the new meat market were summoned for non-payment of rates. The point in dispute was their liability, as they had under. stood that all rates and taxes were included in the rent they paid to the Corporation of London. The summonses were adjourned for a fortnight, to allow an answer to be received from the Corporation on the subject. AN INGENIOUS FRAUD.—On Wednesday a letter stamper in the Post Office was charged at Bow-street on two summonses—one for having removed unoblitcrated stamps upon certain envelopes, and the second for having supplied obliterated stamps in their places. Fines of £lO and £5 were inflicted for these offences. INHUMAN PARENTS.—A painful case of parental cruelty was heard at the Lewes Assizes, where a man named francis Jones, a lodging,-house keeper at Hastings, was indicted for cruelly beating with a cane his little crippled child, 21 years old. The evidence strewed that both father and mother disliked the poor child, and ill-treated it, and the surgeons who had examined it proved that it had been severely beaten. The child has since died, though the charge was for ill-treatment, not for causing death. The man was found guilty, and the judge, after severely censuring him, sentenced him to twelve mouths' hard labrmr. A STARVING FLOCK OF SHEEP.—A large farmer, having .and both at Nelmerby and Azerley, in the neighbour. hood of Ripon, has been convicted by a county magistrate of cruelty to a number of sheep. Towards the close of lust year he sent 248 sheep on to the land at Azerley. It was very bare of herbage, and the shepherd told his em ployer that the sheep were starving. The defendant pro mised to send some cotton-cake, and other fodder; but he neglected to do so, and the sheep began to die. The shep herd threw up his employment, and carcasses of dead sheep were seen lying here and there on the farm. The officers c 4 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were made aware of the case, and when they saw the defendant he offered them £lOO not to prosecute him. Forty or fifty sheep died from hunger, and the magistrate considered the case so disgraceful that he felt disposed to commit the defendant to gaol. However, he inflicted a penalty of £2los. for each of the sheep, besides costs. The defendant had to pay altogether £55 Bs. 4d., and at the request of the gentleman representing the prosecutors, £25 out of it was paid over to the treasurer of the Ripon Dispensary instead of to the informer. A corrected report of the speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone on the introduction of the Irish Church Bill, March 1, will be pul lished by Mr. Murray. Baron Tauchnitz has already sold five editions of five thousand each of Tischendorf's English New Testa- ment, which we lately brought to the notice of ou . readers. The Countess of Derwentwater has, it is said, instituted a suit in the Queen's Bench in support of hei claim, " Radcliffe v. Pattison," but this cannot come on till after the Easter Term. Whether the facts of the Countess's claim will be gone into on that occasion, or the mere right of obstructing the highway, remains to be seen. Mr. Manisty, Q.C., and Mr. Mellish, Q.C., are opposed in this cause, being retained to argue for the respective parties. in extraordinary swindle has been discovered at Liberton, near Edinburgh, by which a publican was swin dled out of £l5. A barrel of whisky came into his posses. sion, when it was found that about half a gallon of whisky was contained in a tube placed immediately beneath the bunghole, and that outside the tube the barrel was filled with water. A number of other cases of a similar cha racter have recently occurred in the district. The police are making exertions to discover the offenders. A DOMESTIC DitAmA.--In what has been called the " Agony Column " of the Times we have seldom en countered a more succinct and comprehensive drama of private life than that which the subjoined advertisement seems to disclose to the malicious curiosity of a scandal loving public : "P D C E.—Papa has arrived. Knows `all.' I refused your name. Fearful scene. Proposed. Accepted. Should we meet, ` Remember,' utter strangers. Don't write, unsafe. Pity and forget me. Farewell for ever,—Greenwich." Like the sensation pieces of the period, this is a vague yet compact sketch of a series of powerful situations, wanting only the aid of scenery, and leaving the dialogue to the reader's imagination. Suiely the young lady might have found it safe to commit her everlasting farewell to the penny post, instead of adver tising it for the benefit of young ladies in general whom DOM I.loletiCtlOW " .;I;7ANn. lif fir l Vf# ' k-thr# HER MAJESTY.

The Cape hail steamer Briton, from the Cape on the 4th ult., arrived here during the night. She brings 51 passengers and 52 sacks of mails, which were forwarded by the 3.15 special train. Her dates are St. Helena, 12th Feb. ; Ascension, 17th ; Madeira, 4th March; and Vigo, 14th. The Briton's detention arose through the con tinued bead winds. Captain Ker was left at Madeira ill, and the vessel has been brought on by chief officer Vyogan. At the Cape the Rev. W. K.

It is positively stated that the conscription was only a pretext for the disturbances, which were really instigated by the -reactionists, who distri buted large sums of money for that purpose. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, March 18, The iVeue Facie Presse announces that Count Beust has gone to Trieste iu order to be present at the Imperial audience granted to Count Della Rocca, the Italian Envoy Extraordinary. In reference to the above, the same paper denies the truth of the current assertion that negotiations are pending for an alliance between Austria and Italy under the ... 7 Egis of France merely an approach to closer friendly relations between Austria and Italy having been achieved. The Neue Free Presse states that, according to advices from Berlin, those soldiers of infantry regi ments who joined the army in 1866 will be sent to their homes in June instead of autumn, when the full period of their three years' service would have expired. INDIA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. MESSINA, March 18. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pera passed through the Straits of Mes6ina, at 11 last night, en route for Marseilles. LONDON, ILL URSDAY, MARCH 18, 1869. Whatever opposition is going to be adventured upon in rseard to the Irish Church Bill, will be in dicated this evening in the House of Commons im mediately Mr.GLADSTONE moves the Second It ading. The amendment is, that it be read this day six months. For and against the measure, a considerable number upon both sides of the House are known to be very desirous of speaking. The probabilities are that, in consequence of this, the discussion about to be commenced almost immediately after we have gone to press, will be continued during some three nights, the division at the close of the debate giving a clear majority of over one hundred to her MA JESTY'S Government. These, we repeat, are the pro babilities. Supposing which probabilities to be realised, the whole question, so far as the House of Commons is concerned, would be, to all intents and purposes, decided before Easter. Then in due course, of course, would come—the modification or the re_ vision, or, so to speak, the perfecting of the bill, as a proposed enactment of the most comprehensive cha racter, in Committee—and subsequently on its going (after the proformci third reading and pas-ing through the Lower House) to the Upper House, there would ensue the inevitable tug of war, in the which the lawn-sleeved occupants of the Bench of Bishops would conspicuously participate. All this, however, is purely conjectural —rumours actually flying about just now to the effect that there will be no contest at all in the Lords, or a mere make-believe of opposition of some sort, in the event—certainly the exceedingly probable event—of theßillgoing up, for the most part intact, from the House of Commons. However this may be, there can be no doubt whatever about the immense numerical preponderance of the supporters of this great Government measure in the popular branch of the Legislature. So perfectly obvious is the disproportion between the serried ranks of the members on the side of her MAJESTY'S Government, and the compact phalanx of the members on the side of her MAJESTY'S Government, that—altliongh the question at issue is one involving some of the grandest con stitutional principles lying at the very root of our complex but thoroughly free and indepen dent system of Government—the struggle, such as it is, which will be commenced in real earnest this evening, has long since come to be regarded less as a contest between two great political parties, than as a Parliamentary joust of a remarkable kind between two great Leaders of Party, each of them eminent as a master of debate, both illustrious as ora tors, one the ex-Prime Minister, the other the actual Prime Minister of England. Insomuch is it all looked upon in this light—insomuch is the whole regarded as a dispute already settled, as by a foregone conclusioc, before the discussion po:Lively has commenced either in the Lords or in the Com mons—that the majority of allusions now being made to it--purely as a matter for conjecture, or by way of anticipation, will be found, when they are glanced at, to be only of the most good-humoured and jocular kind imaginable. Apropos to the Ox ford and Cambridge Boat Race of yesterday, for example, the jokes indulged in, whether written or pictorial—and equally it should be said from both sides —are, as we may say, run to the death ! One of the merriest conceits of all, of this precise description, is the one setting forth—purely in Fun, of course —the rival crews of the Universities just ready to start. Under the title " OFF "—Commvvo.in DIZZY loquitio•—" If we e. et, lima Ott the Chliroh Cthr. Clrliro visible in the distance] we must try and make a foul of it." The coxswain's face being, just in two words, inimitably pcnci:lod! Directly upon the opposite tack, comes forth the Conservative Caricaturist, with his wish father to the thought as to the upshot, or rather it should be said, as to the downshot of the Political Boat Race—one boat plunging down the rapi.l, the other gliding between the sluicegates cleverly mani pulated by JOHN BULL as the Lock-keeper. Happiest of all these characteristic applications of the joke about the contest between the rival University crews and the great Parliamentary struggle about to be commenced this evening in the House of Commons, be tween the Leader of the Government and the Leader o i snistti instituted eids betweenthe brilliant tiie comparison twn in a n article most now o Ntio, humorously eeewx t ar h avcesc e el teulal tempted y p to give elsewhere, in our impression e t x n c e e p rp a t i e ly d 7 f ,e r l o ey rr r i ap th h e . o co f lu t ru h nso e f ve t n hi i s n m g, or a n n i d ug w 's h is ic su h e i o s f Written throughoutdoefsto-night's oib.nesig the h i n t, st Politicalh debate e b most a t e perfect ssitregarded ag t ai good nrdne.d h umour, A as lre e a v d en y arrived at. Feeling secure as to the ultimate success of this really great, and, as we believe, just and beneficent measure intro duced by Mr. GLADSTONE as the Leader of her MAJESTY'S Government, we cannot but regard it as due to the position occupied by his distinguished antagonist that we should give, as we are certainly only disposed to give, the most earnest and considerate attention to the arguments which will be brought forward this evening against the Bill by the right hon. gentleman, the leader of her MAJESTY'S Oppo sition. AT length the long-looked-for report of the Trades Union Commission has been published. It is a very ably-written document, and will carry great weight, though, unfortunately, the commis sioners were not always unanimous. They were ten in number—Sir - WILLIAM ERLE, Lord LICHFIELD, Lord ELcno, Sir D. Gooch, Mr. 11. MERIVALE, Mr. Boonr, Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. lIuGHEs, Mr. HARRI SON, and Mr. MATTnEws. On most of the main points they were united, and though Mr. MimiEs and Mr. IlannisoN, who may be looked upon as the special advocates of the unionists, passed a more favourable verdict upon trades unions than the rest of the commissioners felt able to give, all were pretty well agreed as to the leading features of the legislation which they recommend. Certainly they spared no labour in acquiring the information neces sary for them to prepare their report. They examined more than 100 witnesses, and put to them nearly 20,000 questions. They called before them employers of labour and workmen in the building, iron and coal, ship building, tailoring, ' glass, printing, and other trades, the presidents of unions, members of Parliament, solicitors, actuaries; in fact, everyone who could give them any assis tance in forming a right judgment. They also caused special investigations to be made and evidence to be taken on oath at Manchester and Sheffield. Altogether this is a most exhaustive report, and no doubt it is very costly. But neither toil nor money will have been spent in vain if the result should be a reconciliation between the hostile armies of capitalists and workmen. That they are hostile there can, unfortunately, be no doubt. The commissioners cannot deny it. In fact, the whole of their recommendations are based upon the supposition that the two parties are at present antagonistic. We say the parties, rather than the interests, because it is quite possible for individuals, or even classes, to assume a hostile position without any essential or inevi table antagonism. It is painfully certain that there is no longer that feeling of unity between employers and employed which once existed. As the commissioners say, " it is not pretended that in framing the rules of the union any regard is had to the convenience of the employer." me rules, AMERICA.

(From the Daily Telegraph.) The race will be pulled to-night ; the start is from Westminster-bridge. The odds are ten to one on the dark colour, and there are no takers. The Light Blues have been for years past knocked out of shape and form—save two years ago, when Lowe caught that crab, and Disraeli took the Dark Blues' water; and they are beaten before they step into their boat. Just look at the men ; can there be a doubt as to the event ? There is, as Stroke of the Dark Blues, Gladstone, of Christ Church; surely he can pull a tr:fle. We have seen him at work many a time, with his long, sweeping action— and what a biceps ! That man is always in con dition ; he never wants physic, or flannel shirts, or " breathers ;" why he would pull the boat through in his sleep. Then Jack Bright : there's an oar for you! See what comes of letting Dis senters into the University. A shade heavy he may be ; but he pulls his weight many times over. So tremendous, indeed, is his muscle, that, if he were to lash out, he would pull the University eight right under water ; but he won't. He is content to take the time from Gladstone, and will he not make the boat move ? Another big man is Childers—he is Number Three. llis great power lies in the catch that he has on the water. From the first moment his oar was seen to touch the stream the trainer said, " That young man will do." Then there is Bob Lowe for Number Four. He practised a good deal in Australia before his friends sent him here. He was so clearly first oar at Sydney Harbour that he got it into his head there was no stroke like his own. To do him justice, he is full of science and pluck. No doubt, in the famous race two years since, when the Dark Blues " came to grief," Le did catch a ter rible crab that time when long Horsman and young Grosvenor pulled in the eight. Up went his heels, and down went his head —but Hors man and Grosvenor went to, and there was an end of the race. Ho was, however, so unmercifully " chaffed" at that time, for his little attempt to pull one way while the captain was pulling another, that lie won't try it again. Then we have Careful Cardwell, who does his task like clock-work, never too fast, never too slow ; the oar is in the water, and out of it again, just when it should be ; precisely the same amount of " back" thrown into each stroke. That comes of having learnt his trade iu old Peel's crew—the famous captain who brought the Dark Blue colours in at the head so often. As Num ber Six we have Fortescue, in excellent form, known to have plenty of heart iu him, and to have practised a great deal o❑ Irish water to harden his muscle. Next there is Bruce, a novice, but in such good company he will surely gain the oarsman's skill : he has plenty of arm, ant a long reach. Young Goschen, for bow, completes the crew—a rising man, too, as one may say, who showed there was considerable power in him when he was pulling in that scratch eight a year or two back. Then the Dark Blues have the very best of coxswains in George Glyn. He is a London lad, and knows every bank in the Thames as well as every turn on the Isis. If he loses an inch of ground, or makes a mistake, we shall be surprised. He is such a hearty fellow, too, that the crew attend to him, and, as we all know, that goes a great way. The Dark Blues enjoy an enormous advantage over the Light in the water they have for practice. It is so wide, and so free from mud banks, that they fall early into a free, liberal stroke, at which it is a real pleasure to look. Finally, while talking of the Dark Blues, we must not omit to mention the man who coaches them—Granville, politest of the lot. The famous boatswain Chucks, in the early stages of his conversation, was an ancient person compared with Granville. Under the strongest exzitement, nobody ever heard a coarse word from his lips. And now for the Light Blues: the odds are heavily against them, poor fellows ! but what pluck can do, in the face of every disadvantage, they will accomplish. For Stroke they have that well-nown oarsman, Ben Disraeli ; a great favourite on the water-side with friend or rival, but surely the slye,t fellow who ever took oar in hand. Why, he thinks nothing of taking his op ponent's water; he would foul the other boat, or cross its bows, or run it into a lighter, as soon as look it. He is an old hand now, and a dangerous ; but we remember very well when he came to the top. It was that time he matched himself with skulls against Peel, who had won more cups than any oarsman of his day ; but reel had uncommonly hard work in the match. Ben is a real good oar now, there's no denying that; but he is better at training than rowing. It was simply on account of his " coaching" that the Light Blues won their last victory. Ile " educated his party" —that is the fact. He taught them their oppo nent's stroke, and a good deal more ; but even then it is doubtful if they would have won but for Lowe's crab. However, they did win, thanks to the skill of their Stroke ; and if they bad had the heart to keep in the same form, they might have been at the head of the river still. But it wouldn't do. Big Hardy, who is to pull Two to-night, declared on his con science that he thought the style wrong, and he would not have anything more to do with it. " Why, it isn't conscience I want, it's pace," said Din' raeli ; but, we repeat, it wouldn't do. Hardy would have his own way ; and he got it—so well was he backed by old Derby, and Chelmsford, and Cairns, and that lot. Besides, all the Dons and Heads of Houses took the matter up, and said they would bring it before the Senate if Disraeli per severed—just as if the Senate had anything to do with the rowing matches. However, there they are, back in the old form, with Disraeli for Stroke, and Hardy as eager and vigorous as ever.. Then there is Corry, a heavy man, but quite up to the mark if he had been well taught—which he has not been. And Stanley is Four. He is a very odd fellow, Stanley ; we scarcely know what to mak e of him among the Light Blues ; do what he will , he is always breaking into the " Dark" stroke, and putting out the rest of the crew, all save Dis raeli, who gives him a wink over his shoulder, just as if he wished him to do it again. Th e common belief is that, if young Stanley's " gover nor" had not been captain of the Light Blues so long, the young one would have been pulling in the other boat. Next we have Nortbcote ; he always pulls what we should call a gentle man's stroke—but, bless you ! ~when Jack Bright and Bob Lowe are in the other boat, what i 4 the use of it ? Then there is Pakington — h e was originally in th e o th er U n i vers i ty, a t 'Wot cester College, but h e came across an d h as ca st his lot with the Light Blues; he has not much catch, and if the wat er i s a t a ll l umpy i t i s doubtful if he will help the b oa t on . M anners h a s pulled a fairish oar in his day, but he has been at work s° long as an oarsman that he can't unlearn the ol d style, which might have done well enough befor e outriggers came in, but will scarcely do now. Th en we have young Ward Hunt for bow ; he is a capit al 1 -- ,, •"‘lat figureq, and used to k ee p th e accou nts for the club, just as Lowe does for the Dark Bluea but we fear that he has hardly spring enough is him for his present place. Little Noel is the swain ; smart enough he is, and will do his best; but he does not know the water so well as Gly n " The Light Blues did well to change big Taylor fo r little Noel, at a n y ra t e ; f or h ow was a b oat to ge t on with such a we i g ht i n le er stern ? Th e y ha° e been coached by Cairns, an undeniably s cientig e man ; but his s c i ence i s o f anot h er d ay, an d that day is past.
