The intrinsic Merit of this distinguished vocalist's performances is indeed most ftrikintly attested by the fact, that unlike all others of the same class, their interest never flags—familiar as they have become to the thousands of his countrymen, they still touch a chord which vibrates as readily as at the first impulse years ago. The performances on this occasion consisted of a finely-varied selection of the best Scottish song, both grave and gay, all of which were enthusiastically applauded. The ' Auld School' (of which the words are by Mr. James Ballautine), recounting the amiable qualities of ' Uncle Natty and Auntie Mattie,' was, amongst many others, warmly appreciated by the audience, apparently on account not more of the exquisite manner in which it was sung, than of the fine strain of sentiment which cha racterises the piece. Mr. Wilson, we trust, has many years yet to run of his career of deserved popularity, - in the course of which we may venture to predict he will be received with ever-renewed warmth of feeling in the west."—Glaagow Courier, March 31.

When cooked, either by roastii4 or boiling, the root is much more nutritious than the potato, nor is it possessed of any unpalatable flavour,. the peculiarity being between that of rice and the potato. Dressed in milk or mashed they are absolutely a deli acy ; and, from the abundance in which they are cultivated in the West Indies and other parts, they promise to become the most economical and nutri tious substitute for the potato.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. PRI VI COUNCIL, April 3. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to-day, for the purpose of hearing petitions for the confirmation and extension of patents. The Lords present were the Lord President, the Vice- Chancellor Wigram, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall. IN TIIE MATTRR OF 11IINTZ'S PATENT. The petition in this case was ordered to stand for hearing on Mon day, the 11th of May. IN THE MATTER OF STEAD'S PATENT. This case came before their Lordships upon the petition of Mr. David Stead, praying for the confirmation of a - patent taken out by him for improvement in wood paving, by means of sextagonal blocks. The petition was opposed by the Metropoitau Wood Paving Company. Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr. Wells appeared for the petition, and Mr Matthew Davenport Hill and Mr. Webster opposed it. The Attorney-General appeared for the Crown, but declined to ad dress the Court. Their Lordships, at the conclusion of the arguments at half-past four o'clock, postponed their judgment. connT OF BANKRUPTCY, April 3. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) RAILWAY SPRCBLATIoNS.—IN RE COLLINS. The bankrupt in this case is the secretary to Pilbrow's Atmospheric Railway Company, and has also been a provi sional committeeman in several railway companies, and he came up to-day to pass his last examination. Mr. Lawrence, solicitor to the bankrupt, said a question might arise a 4 to whether the bankrupt was bound to furnish an account of certain railway companies in which he had been engaged as a provisional committeeman. Mr. Commissioner FoNßLexcluk—There must be a general statement as to the liabilities and profits. Mr. E. James said he appeared as counsel for the assignees, and wished to put a few questions to the bankrupt. had you at any time the custody of a cash book connected with Pilbrow's Atmospheric Railway ? Bankrupt—Yes; I gave it. into the custody of my brother about the early part of November, because the directors were divided on an opinion as to whether certain sums of money received should be en tered in it. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—Is he a partner in the concern ? Mr. James—He is, your Honour. Mr. Lawrance—Are you a partner? Bankrupt—No. Mr.-Lawrence—ls there any objection to hand this book over to the official assignee fur sate custody? Bankrupt—l sin merely the servant of the gentlemen of this company, and if they wish it to be delivered up it will be so. Mr. James—We do not wish to keep it from the company. llow could von make your balance-sheet up without it ? Bankrupt—Prom my recollection. To what amount does the book contain entries ?—About 3,000/. I had shares in Pilbrow's Atmospheric Railway, the Concentrated Essence of Tea and Coffee Companies, and others, for which I paid money, and an account of which is contained in the book that is missing. Mr. Commissioner ForstANQUE—It will be difficult to induce me to pass the examination until this book is pro duced. Mr. James said it was fearful to see the way in which ba lance-sheets were sworn to. After some further discussion the case was adjourned. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. .A'ORTHF,/IN ClUCCllT—Liverpool, April 2. (Before Mr. Justice PATTEsos.) George Pearson and Robert 11PConnell were indicted for cutting and wounding James Barlow. Mr : Whigham and Mr. Baxter conducted the prosecution ; the prisoners were defended by Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Monk. _ It appeared that a quarrel had arisen between the pri soners' party and a number of persons employed at the gas works at Heaton Norris, wins had met at a public-house there called the Crown Inn. The prisoner and his party were turned out, but waited for the others, and a scuffle then ensued, in which knives were drawn, and the prosecutor re ceived two cuts, one iu the shoulder and one in the neck, from a person of the name of Taylor, not in custody. The evidence of the witnesses, however, failed in showing a parti cipation in Taylor's act on the part of the prisoner, and they were Acquitted. James Carrara= was indicted for the manslaughter of Hei:ry Sherlock. Art,old conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Atkinson. This indictment also arose out of a public-house squabble. The deceased, his brother, and another person had, on the 9th of March, met the priso er and a numb r of others at a beer-house at Kensington, in Liverpool, kept by a person of the name of Hughes. Some quarrel took place about a glass of ale, and blows were exchanged until the landlord turned them out of his house. In the street the quarrel was re newed, and several on one side and the other were knocked down. When it was over the deceased was found to be bleeding from his temple, and complained of being hurt in the side. He continued ill for some days, but afterwards went to his work for a short time. He was at last obliged to discontinue his work, and died on the 22d. On a post mm tem examination there was found a large coagulum of blood upon the brain, sufficient to cause death. It appeared also that the liver was slightly lacerated, and there was .a small perforation of the gall-bladder, which, of itself, would finally have been fatal. The principal evidence against the prisoner to connect him with the violence which caused the death, was an observation which, it was alleged, he was over heard to make while passing down the street after the affray, namely, " Did you see me jump on him when you were kicking him in the public-house?" There was, however, no evidence to show that the deceased had been knocked down in the house at all, or been kicked by any one. The violence which caused his death had taken place after he went out, and seemed as likely to have been caused by a fall as a blow; nor was the actual participation in that as ault by the pri soner clearly shown.—Verdict, Not Guilty. On the civil side the Court was engaged with the case of "Toulmin v. Hedley," tried at the last assizes. It is an ac tion for not accepting guano, and the particulars have been already before the public. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 2. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron RoLFE.) John Sampson was indicted for embezzling three several sums of 201., 241., and 101., which he had received for the churchwardens and overseers of Bedminster, he being their clerk. Mr. Stone and Mr Edwards were connsel for the prose cution, and Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Slade defended the pri soner. From the evidence, which was very long and complicated, the following facts were elicited :—ln the year 1836 the pri soner was appointed collector of the rates for that part of the parish of Bedminster which is in the county of Somerset ; but some doubt ari , ing as to the legality of his appointment, in the year 1839 he was made assistant-overseer, and he continued to collect the rates until the end of the year 1845. He had a salary of 1501. a year. The amount he had to collect was about 5,000/. The prisoner also collected the borough rates. The prisoner was ordered to keep a cash book, wherein he was to enter all moneys collected by him. The overs,ers were to check the cash receipts weekly. On the 15th of September, 1844, the prisoner received 201. of Richart Hunt; on the 9th of November, 1844, he received of the same person a sum of 24. 1 . 3s. 3d. ; on the Bth of De cember he received of Mrs. Jefferys 10/., but no entry of those sums appeared in the cash book. In the latter part of the year 1844 the prisoner was several times remonstrated with for not paying over the balances of his accounts. On the Ist of January, 1845, a special meeting of the overseers was called, at which the prisoner attended, and attention was called to the smallness of the weekly collections by the ' prisoner. He expressed a wish to have time to make up his rate-book, as he had been told that he had not entered some sums he had received, and that in other instances he had only entered sums as then received which it had been disco vered bad been received months before. The prisoner was told at the meeting of the Ist of January that there was a balance of 2401. due from him. He said he would pay it, and on the 3d of January he did pay that amount. On the 2d of January there was a vestry meeting, and on the Bth of January all the books were taken from the prisoner, and from that time the prisoner was not seen, and his house was shut up. Search was afterwards made at Brighton and other places for the prisoner, but eventually he was apprehended at his own house in December, to which he had returned. The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. COCKBURN took en objection that the indictment charged the prisoner as being the clerk of the overseers, whereas by the evidence it was shown he was an assistant overseer. _ . _ _ _ _ . . Mr. Baron ROLFE said that the prisoner was expected to perform all the duties of an overseer. No doubt formerly he had been a collector of the rates, and acting as the ser vant of the overseers; that appointment, however, bad been cancelled, because the vestry had appointed him assistant overseer, therefore he could not be considered a servant. It would consequently be the duty of the jury to acquit the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. John Williams and John Ward were indicted for a burglary in the house of Thomas Bunn, at Frome-Selwood, on the 20th of February, and stealing therefrom a silver salver and other articles. Mr. Stone conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Saunders defended the prisoners. On the morning of the 21st of February the prosecutor and his family were alarmed by a noise in the house. The pro secutor got up, took his sword, and went down stairs. He found ibbettnti: ibse a r ow fi kre r eor e neo h mio a nn d , t ah b t eh e s eieinnyti silver ri table. lst h e .a t ib e v d eeTtr. )i r ri i aee t ,n h ddu e draw r aaewrwe aw i watch, -rooming-room window Earlyf hda r a a rold t wy e , bthadand t t eb l l i tio o ns r ed n ll i ye r. s g ait t n i t i th e he p eb r i riusno hands.n d e l e r , sw e seen at. the Tiverton station with andt Some T in h s e ta s n ii t y l e y r seeing p er theyson s c w o i t i f o t a s i a ne r ing them several housebreakingi'eAeinto custody, and upon search ing some u n e silookedsilver gave them ere ruentified as being the .implements were found upon t articles, hetri. pro perty of Mr. Bunn. The jury at once found the prisoners Guilty, and they were sentenced to be transported for ten years. Daniel forth and John North were indicted fur stealing an owe sheep, the property of Mr. Dampney. Mr. Salmon conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Edwards defended the prisoners. This was a very simple case. The sheep was missed from the field, the entrails and blood were found in the field, the foot-marks of two per,ons were traced from that spot to a in which a sheei.skin was found. The foot-marks were pond, lived, and from then traced to the house where the prisoners thence to a rick, where the carcase of a sheep was disco• vered. The prisoners' boots corresponded with the foot-marks. Verdict—Guilty. John North was sentenced to ten years' transportation, a former conviction having been proved against him; and Daniel to fifteen months' imprisonment. NORTH WALES ClRCUlT—Chester, April 2. CIVIL SIDE.— ( Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS. RAILWAY CASE.—CHAMBERLAINE V. TUE CFIESTIR AN - BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY COMMANY. Mr. WELSBY opened the pleadings, to the effect that the action was on the case, that the defendants were bound by statute to make a railway to Tranmere Ferry, before con ducting their railway further than Grange-lane; and that they had not done so, to the injury and damage of the plaintiff; to which the defendants pleaded not guilty, and denied the plaintiff's right. The damages were laid at 20,000/. Mr. JERVIS stated the case to the effect, that Mr.Chamber laine is tne owner of rranmere Ferry, which had been long es tablished and was of long legal existence, and of great value before the Chester and Birkenhead Railway was made. He had expended above 10,0001. on the landing-place, and 7,000/. or 8,000/. in boats, all of which had been rendered valueless by the conduct of the defendants. In 1836 and 1837, it was proposed to make the present railway. Chamberlaine had also a scheme of giving facilities to all the ferries, as well as his own. They were both before Par liament ; and it was suggested that some compromise should be made; and the two lines were referred to Lord Sandon and Mr. Patten ; and the Legislature sanctioned the present line stopping at Grange-lane; and they introduced a clause ' in that Act, that the Company should not go beyond Grange lane to the Woodside shore. The Learned Counsel they read the eleventh section of the Act, to slum that the object of the Act was, that the ferries of Woodside and Tranmere should be kept equal ; and the Company were not. to go to Woodside Ferry, unless they went also to Tranmere, without they had the sanction of the proprietor of the latter. He then went on to advert to the establishment of the Monk's Ferry, which two trials stamped as an usurpation of the rights of the Woodside Ferry. The parties connected with the railway then bought Monk's Ferry, the lease of Wood side Ferry, and Mr. Price's freehold in it, for 50,000/. or 60 000/., and then they ran their railway to Islonk's Ferry, which had been proved in the Court of Exchequer to be part of the liberty of Woodside Ferry, and which consequently was an evasion of the obligations of thk Company under the Act of Parliament, to the injury of the rights of the plaintiff. The recital of the Act proved that all the ferries should be equal, and be both supplied. He should show from the reports of the Company the fraud that they had prac• used. The object of the parties had always been to evade this contract; and in April, 1840, the Committee or the Company rept.rted to the effect. that they had made inquiries into the purchase of Woodside Ferry, and that the object of making the purchase by the directors die not appear very clear, as the Company were precluded by Act of Parliament from taking the railway to that place; and the Committee expressed their disapprobation of tin purchase. It appeared that 32,000/. had been paid for the Woodside Ferry, subject to an annual rent of 15,000/. ; am that they had given 23,000/. for Monk's Ferry, without any legal right to take passengers from that terry to Liverpool: and that purchase was also censured; but it was stated that inasmuch as the Company had bought Woodside Ferry for ten years, nobody would interfere with their use of Monk's Ferry. The Company then smuggled a clause in one of their Bills to relieve them from their obligation to the plaintiff, which, being detected, was struck out. The Court of Chan cery had been appealed to, but had decided that it was a fit questietat)X..4.,igry , ,He should prove. Mr. _chamberlaine's title, which had been . denied. He should prove the liability of the defendants. He should show they had rendered the ferry utterly useless, and in fact ruined the property. Mr. Chamberlaine has lost the cost of his improvement, and also his boats, his property, and the rent of his hotel. There could be no question bet that Mr. Chamberlaine was entitled to damages. He did not wish to persecute the Company, but if his claim was not acceded to, he should call upon the Jury to give him ample recompense. The case having been Proved by evidence, Mr. Cnokivrort addressed the jury for the defendants, and said the only question was; • had the defendants really done what they were prohibited from doing by Act of Parliament? There was no ground for saying that damages must be given. This was a mere question to try a right ; and when that was done, they would see what would be done upon it. To cao for damages was an attempt to frighten the Company out 01 giving him something approaching to the 20,000/. at which the damages were laid. He, contended that a railway to Tranmere would be of no auvantage ; and if the plaintiff sue ceeded, then the Monk's Ferry Railway must be put down until the Tranmere Railway was made. It was ridiculous to ask for the value of the pier, the boats and the estate ; th most the plaintiff was entitled to was his right to this rail way. He contended that the clause in the Act of Parlia ment ought not to be construed strictly ; and he contended at length, that in point of law, the defendants were entitled to a verdict. The JuDon said that point was to be reserved for the opi nion of the Court a'mve and, therefore, Mr. Crompton had better go to the jury on the question Of damages. Mr. CROMPTON said he could not separate the two ques tions in his address to the jury, as special damage was out of the case. Mr. JEstvts said the better way would be for the jury to assess the damage; but if Mr. Crompton could substantiate his legal points, to strike the damage off Ttanmere was valuable for docks, and it was of the utmost importance to have a railway. He had no objection to leave it to a gentle- man of the bar tct say what should be done, and to fix a penalty to.ensure it being done. A conference then took place on the recommendation of the Judgei and the parties agreed that the plaintiff should have a verdict for the damages in the declaration, subject to the opinion of the Court above on the clause in the Act of Parliament, and an arbitrator to decide what shall be done. Verdict for the plaintiff, subject as above stated. OXFORD ClRGlJlT.—Monmouth, April 2. The Commi,sion for this county was opened yesterday by Chief Baron Pollock. The civil bu.iitiess is light and unin teresting. The calendar contains the names of teventy-four prisoners. The Chief Baron took his seat this morning at ten o'clock, and in his charge to the grand jury alluded to the large number of prisoners presented in the calendar, owing to their having held no asljo.trned session prior to the assizes. Not expecting such an increase, and their time being limited, arrangements had been made with his Learned Brother Platt, who would commence assisting him in trying prisoners as soon as bills sufficient had been returned into Court by them. Somuel Jones, 34, was indicted for stabbing and wounding William Jones, on the 23d Septethber. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, that him • self, the prisoner, and others, had been dining at the Church Inn. Prisoner began jumping and dancing about, and did not seem like a man ; he was preaching and praying; then he talked about lighting, said he was the champion of Eng land and Wales, and would have a ploughing match for a sovereign. Prosecutor and another man took him out with them. On prosecutor coining up, he stabbed and cut him on the right thigh with a knife. The poor fellow fell down, and was carried into a neighbour's house. He was perma nently lamed from the injuries he received. In cross-examination, witness said prisoner was a tidy man, and had sustained an injury on the head. He said that he repented having married tne woman he did.— (La ugh t er.) Mr. HUDDLESTON—That's no proof of derangement or in sanity, you kin,w. CIIIEF BiltoN—lt may be all very well for single men to say so.—( I ,a ugh ter.) Prosecutor said he did not think prisoner knew what he was doing at the time. A long argument en sue d as to hi s i n tention. Mr. IIUDDLESTON said he could not struggle against an assault, and The jury, under his Lordship's direction, acquitted the prisoner of the felony, and found him guilty of an assault. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COUI?T. William Kidd, 25, was indicted for feloniously wounding William Mullett, with intent to do him grievoUs bodily harm. The prosecutor in this case is a police constable of the G division, and eat ly on the morning of the sth of slarch be was on duty in Saffron-1111, when he found the prisoner, who is an Irishman, in a very excited state and creating a great disturbance, and threatening to "Murder any bloody Hobby vrho interfered with him." The constable requested him t o go away, an d was endeavouring to per suade him to do so, when, w ith ou t the slightest provocation, the prisoner drew a life-preserver, us the instrument is termed, from his pocaet, and struck the constable a violent blew on the head with it, and felled him to the grenud, and then kicked him in a most brutal manner. _ •. . The defence set up by the prisoner was, that he had been drinking, and he did not know what he was about. The jury proved the prisoner Gulty, and evidenee was then given that he had been on a previous occasion convicted of felony, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Mr. BULLOCK sentenced him to be transported for fifteen years. s u ral SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM SPRING MEETING The public having been fully apprised of the changes, and, as we can consistentl add, the improvemeut already completed or in pro ;ress on Epsom Downs, we may confine our present notice of the •;pring Meeting yesterday to matters pertinent to the day, premising, however, in justice to a management in which so liberal and judicious A policy has iseen displayed, that the opinion et all who have wit nessed its effects was unequivocally favourable. Mr. Dorling has ally to continue In his present "onward" course, and, wi hout re 4orting to the " nailing" system, so siroagly and deservedly eom- Alined of at some of the summer meetings, his speculation cannot WI to be successful. Of the racing yesterday it is unnecessary to speak here at any length—the particulars given underneath will serve to prove that it vas everything that could have been wished or anticipated, and that the interest of the great Handicap. so meritoriously got up by the 'Licensed Victuallers of the Metropolis," had in no degree been iverrated. It was the source of much specul talon, and of an infinity " Sweeps," and 'kept the citizens and their friends on the qui vive to the last. A more exciting race has rarely been witnessed at this ,ieriod, and it is with no small gratification we add that its pro moters, determined it shall be " second to none," have made such progress with the fund for 1817, that, Instead of 3901., the sum added esterday, we have nut the slightest doubt that it will reach double that amount. In support of this belief, we need only neutron that Mr. Breton, who has taken up the race with so much zeal, has already collected 1591., and that several other parties are exhibiting a respectable amount of, on tributions. The list, in addition to the leading event, contained the Mal Stakes, presented by that liberal supporter of the Epson races, -;ir Gilbert Heathcote, and two others, in heats, and thus combining iantiiy a i t t h h e v r a w r e a t s y c , o a l v d a a s n c d a i c w u i l s a t t e e r o d o s, t e i ar , e o n t the. do. i f e as fa t v i t o l I Li r u a a. b .until about four o'clock ; a heavy shower of bail and rain then cleared be enclosure, made the hall a welcome place of retuge, and gave lone reason to regret that by a pralseworty attention to the adver- Of the arrangements on the ground it is only necessary to state , I n sed e htoiumresoooti‘setrartthi:tign,wthasia,rulctieciNpv,asttedbrought to a conclusion at least hat they were in keeping with the improved tone visible in all other .aatters connected with tile new arrangement.

We ought to add that the stand was opened gratui tously, and that Mr. Careless, through whose instrumentality, we understand, this unusual boon was conceded to the public, was imply repaid by the influx of hungry visitors to his well provided refreshment tables. To sum up—the attendance was larger than we .!ver saw it, except on a Derby day; the balcony of the Grand 'ttand was WI and the inclosure thronged ; in fact, taking it altoge , her, we may safely assert that the meeting in all respects was triumphantly successful. sel, ction of the principal visitors must serve as a wind-up to our preliminary :—Lard Rosslyn, Lord George Manners, Lord Suffield, Lord Somerton, Lord Edward Russell, Lord Henry Lennox, Lord Ilrownlow Cecil, Sir Gilbert Ileathcote, Sir Joseph Hawley, S r W.

The new number of hentley's , ny (for April) contains a paper which, at the present moment (when the attention of whole nations is so forcibly directed towards India), will be read with universal interest. It is enticed "The Scat of War; the Si".hs and the Punjab," anti gives an excellent description of the kingdom of Lahore, and a most interesting summary of the events which have taken place during the last halt century. This favourite perloolical also presents us with more of the amusing adventures of " Brian O'Linn" (to real which has a similar effect to inhaling laughing gas). This story is will worthy the great popularity Of the author of "Stories of Waterlog." " Tipperary Hall" is also full of entertain. ment pertaining to the great topics of the day. It contains some very spirited songs. Where, for instance, shall we dud a better song in its way than the one entitled " Who's for a Shy at the Siege of Lahore, my Boys ?" This paper is evidently the prxtuction of men of considerable talent. Everybody should read the '• Outpourings," which include lois of rare anecdotes of the late Oiled Liston. The disclosures made in "Gaming, Gaming-h uses, and Gatnesters," of the trickery resorted to to ensnare the unwary, are well calculated to warn the y, ung and wealthy from plungim into a career which invariably ends in ruin. Albert Smith's capital contributions -to " Popular Zoology," 'are firll of spirit and humour. To add to the attractions of Bentley, we are presented with an admirable portrait of Flora "Macdona d (the Flora M`lvor so celebrated by Scott in " Waverley") and a clever etching by Leach, i lustr,ting a beautiful fairy story rendered i,nto English by Lady I)utT Gordon. This perio dicel well merits its increasing popularity. TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION AT SHEFFIELD.- Yesterday morning (Thursday), about two o'clock, the neighbourhood of Carver street, be ween Wellington-street and Button-lane, was thrown into the utmost consternation by an explosion which shook all the houses for some hundreds of yards round. On examination it was found that some infernal machine had been placed under three privies, ad joining one of the two trough hulls 01 Mr. William Sanderson's ex tensive fork manufactory. The back windows of nine houses were completely shattered, no less a number than twenty-four being shattered by the exploded fragments 01 stone, &c. A !nick wall was levelled with the ground, and considerable injury. done to the hull and machinery. The explosio.t was heard not only in many parts of the town, but for several miles round. The shock i❑ the immediate neighbourhood is said to have resembled an earthquake. Inspector Matthews was one of the first of the police on the spot, and Mr. Raynor has ordered several men to examdne the ruins, with a view of ascertaining the nature of the diabolical engine which had been used to blow up the wheel Very fortunately no one was hurt. Some suspicions are entertained as to the guilty party, who, we hope, will be speedily brought to justice.—Doncaster Gazelle of yesterday. - • LEEDS INDUSTRIAL Solo() Ls —The guardians of tb«.

The Cantabs yesterday achieved another victory in one of the most gallant races on record, and in which the distance of four miles and nearly a furlong was performed in the al most incredibly short period of twenty-one minutes five se conds. It was throughout a fine spirit-stirring exhibition, and the victors and the vanquished alike deserve their meed of praise, for game and science never surpaned, , and but rarely equalled. The race, in common with all University matches, was one of peculiar interest, and thousands de pended upon the result laid out at odds, not justified by the close contest which we have now the pleasure of recording. The race of last season was decided in favour of the Cam bridge crew, and the Oxonians having thrown down the gauntlet, the challenge was accepted, and both went into ac tive training, the Cantabs under the able tuition of Robert Coombes, the champion of the Thames, and the Oxonians under that of Noulton, of Lambeth. The stake was, as usual, " honour," and the following are the names of the gentlemen who disputed the aquatic supe riority of the rival Universities CA MB RIDGE. 1. C. F. Murdoch, St. John's 2. G. F.

There was but little done yesterday, and that at the first-named odds. The Oxonians came to Putney on Monday, and went to work without loss of time. The Cambridge party tosk up their quarters on Tuesday at Aviss's, the Bells, at the same place, and both had a turn against eights, manned by crack water men, to make themselves as competent as possible for the great struggle. Four steamers "paddled" up to the scene of action ; the Childe Harold, with the umpire, C. J. Selwyn, Esq. (Vice- President of the Thames regatta), and a numerous party of the elite ; and the Echo, chartered by the Messrs. Searle, the Waverley, with some Oxford gentlemen, and a large party of the Westminster scholars, and the Eclipse with com pany from Noulton's. At half-past eleven the crews drew to their stations off Mortlake to row to Putney-bridge. Both looked in fine con dition, and appeared confident. The colours for Oxford were dark blue, those of Cambridge light blue. No time was lost in getting away. Mr. E. Searle gave the signal, and they both took it admirably. Ins moment the Oxonians' boat's nose was a foot in advance of the other, but twenty strokes had not been taken by either before they were level, and one of the most determined struggles ensued. Cambridge made a desperate spurt, sad got their head three or four feet in advance, but it was met with a corresponding effort on the part of the Oxonians, and it was difficult to determine whether either could be said to have the lead. Stroke succeeded stroke, and fine long ones too, with great rapidity; but, despite the most strenuous efforts, the boats appeared absolutely propelled by the very same person, and they were almost oar and oar, 'Cambridge hav ing the most trifling advantage, and both parties kept at work as though they had been endowed with super natural vigour. The Cantabs passed under the Suspension bridge, at Hammersmith, with their opponent's nose about level with their No. 4, and stimulated by the acclamations of the assembled thousands, the Oxford party again " put on the steam," and ere their arrival at the Crab Tree, were again level with their opponents. So evenly were they matched, so lasting appeared their powers, even at the extraordinary pace at which the distance had been rowed, that it was ques tionable which would first reach the goal. They both again pulled as vigorously as though the race had just commenced, but the Oxonians could not get their boat's nose in front, and Cambridge, pulling on a final spurt, gradually, when almost within sight of home, drew away, and won by three lengths. Putney and Battersea Bridges, and every other place where a view of any, part of the race could be had, were covered with spectators, amongst which were a num ber of ladies and gentlemen of distinction. The winners rowed in a beautiful outrigger, built by the eminent Searles, of Stangate MR. SMITH O'BRIEN, M.P., AND THE RAILWAY COMMITTEES. Oxford and Cambridge Club, Pall-mall, April 3, 1846. Sir,— . l hare this morning received a letter, signed " Henry Creed," by which I am informed that my name i• on the list from which Members will be selected to serve on railway committees, which will commence their sittings in the week beginning Monday, April 27, during which week it will be necessary that I should be in attendance for the pur pose of serving. if required, on a railway committee. With reference to this communication, I beg to inclose a copy of a letter, addressed to you as chairman of the Com mittee of Selection, upon the occasion of my having received a similar intimation from Mr. Creed on the 28th of June, 1845. I have not seen any reason since that letter was written to change the determination therein expressed. Indeed, the circumstances under which I attend Parliament during the present session are such as to render adherence to that deter mination an imperative duty. I have been called over from Ireland at a period when the deplorable situation of that country requires the presence of all whose duties connect them with it, for the purpose of re sisting a measure by which it is proposed to invade the per sonal freedom, and to suspend the constitutional liberties, of the Irish people. In offering resistance to that measure, it will be necessary for me to assist in exposing the systematic misgovernment which has produced those results which fur nish a pretext for this renewed attempt to coerce Ireland. The time and facilities at ray command being limited, I do not feel myself at liberty to allow my attention to be diverted from subjects of higher import to matters of local concern, which do not affect the interests of my country I must, theretbre, respectfully decline to serve on 4ny com mittees on private Bills, except such as relate to Ireland. I am aware that the House has the power to deprive my constituents of such humble services as I can render to them, by impri►oning my person, contrary to law. I have fully considered, and am prepared to abide that alternative. I have the honcur to be your obedient servant, WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN. To the Chairman of the Committee of Selection.

Tynte as the most emi nent and supreme Grand Master of the Masonic Knights Templar of England and Wales. The grand conclave having been duly opened by the Grand Sub-Prior (Sir Knight Burckhardt), the Grand Direc tor of Ceremonies (Sir Knight Crucfiex) mustered the escort, and in troduced the Grand Master, who was received with due honours, the Sir Knights presenting arms as he passed under the canopy of steel. His Eminence addressed the grand conclave on the occasion, con gratulating them on the revival of this exalted branch of the ma sonic tree. In the subsequent appointment of grand officers it was gratifying to observe that honours were conferred upon several pro vincial members of the grand conclave.

MANY ♦ 'LIP BETWEEN THE CUP AND THE LIP.— On Tuesday morning last, a young man of the name of William Ward, was brought before the Mayor, at Lincoln, charged with ob taining on the previous day from Mr. Green, merchant, of Lincoln, a 51. note, under false pretences Ward was, it was said, a few mouths ago a servant with C6lonel Elmhirst, is whose establishment was a domestic who won the heart of sweet William, and on Tues day morning they were to have been married, but having some dif ficulty in raising the needful, and calling to mind the fact that a Mr. Cottingham, a farmer, near Wragby, occasionally sold wheat to, and did business with Mr. Green, merchant, of Mark's-lane, he went to that gentleman with Mr. Cottingham's compliments, and solicited the loan of a Si note for Mr. Cottingham. Mr. Green having oc casional y lent Mr. Cottingham small sums of money, handed the Al. not to Ward, remarking to him at the same time it was strange that Mr. Cottingham had not sent a note for the money. as he had always done before. Ward made sme excuse and set off with the cash. Soon after he was gone, Mr. Green began ti think that he had b , eit rather too green in allowing Ward to depart with the 51. note, and to set the matter right, he mounted his horse and rode over to Mr. Cottinglunn, and then Mr. Green found that he had been " done brown." Ward, as soon as he got hold of the money, began to buy furniture, and sundry articles of dress, in order to make a dashing turn out the next morning, but in the evening he was captured and conveyed to the lock-up, Mr. Green, on his re turn home, having set a policeman to trace out the unlucky swain. On examination at the station house, it appeared that the 5/. note had melted down to 6s. or 75 , and from the pockets of the prisoner were taken a pair of new white gloves and other articles. instead of being set at liberty to get married, the man was remanded until Friday, in order that Mr. Cottingham may be examined, and he will then most likely be committed for trial.—Lincolnshire Chronicle.

Robert Baker, William Taylor, and Thomas Jones were in dicted, on Friday, chargel with having committed a violent assault upon James Allen. Mr. PBENDEEtGAST appeared for the prosecution. The defendants, it will be recollected by our readers, are privates in the Grenadier Guards, and on the evening of the 18th of the lust month they went to the Cock public-house, in Tothill-street, Westminster, and having been there a short time, left, saying that they should quickly return, when they would " turn the house inside out." This threat they carried into execution, for in half an hour they came back, with about thirty of their comrades, when they commenced annoying and assaulting various persons who were at the time in the house. Amongst these was the prosecutor,' the pot-boy, who having entered the par l our and en deavoured to quell the disturbance which the defend ants were causing, they knocked him about without re. morse. During this part of the transacti9n, there was another man, who, being alarmed, ran up stairs, but on being pursued by the soldiers he jumped out of the first-floor window. Ou these men coming down stairs again, they knocked about a person of the name of Flexton. This die- turbance, it was stated, collected a mob of at least 300 per sons around the house, and it was some time after the de fendants had left before anything like order could be restored. ntii , il a e l d id in c e a s l t le a d bli l s sLi i t n n g es- ti e i s e f t a o ct p o r( f iv t e he a i t r i The defendants each denied having been in the house on 3 1 ie D i niso7;t lu : e n i t passing sentence, said, that the the alib i . eve rr n i i i t e l y g , in question, "Guilty" to an indictment against him Jones then pleaded . pre T s t e i n e c j e ur a; anothertoura tn i a l c , e ,, , , fur a second assault. and The jury found thim ll Gui It oin t l, instance, pgarotniuee t ts h uj a wp t ohit a looes m tbah a ase n dob o mac f eor r t moa h fcm e ktish n vef a eot m ndr, e ttli o ieee f Allen, one of the witnesses on the former indictment, haul, d s o e w ri n o . us character.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Apollo came into harbour this afternoon, in tow of the Echo tug, to relit. A bold attempt at smuggling was made at the mouth of the harbour this morning by a watcrman named John Martin, who had got 29Ibs. of manufactured tobacco (Caven= dish) in the boat; he was, however, suspected, and boarded by two officers from the Gosport Coast-guard station, but Martin resisted their endeavours to secure the tobacco, which was concealed under the head-sheets of the boat, and took up a pig of ballast (an iron mass, weighing about 701b5.), and dashed it into the bottom of his boat with the intention of staving and sinking her; the officers of the Nelson cutter, however, having witnessed the scuffle, sent assistance in another boat, who succeeded in making good the capture. Martin and a boy (his son) were taken before the magistrate, and the former was remanded to await instructions lrom the Commissioners of Customs, and the latter was discharged. The wherry in which the smuggled tobacco was seized was taken to the Custom-house and given into the charge of Mr. George Dudley, her Majesty's warehouse-keeper, but while the boat was being formally delivered into the custody of that gentleman, a mob which had collected one the Custom-house quay on hearing of the capture of the smuggler, among whom were many more reckitas characters of the same description, endeavoured to prevent this bolo& carried into effect by attempting to rescue a lad named, Butcher, who had been given into custody by Mr. Dudley for obstructing the officers in the execution of their duty, cre ated a riot, and attempted to throw the Custom-house officenk into the water; but fortunately, with the assistance of the commander of the Nelson cutter and a gentleman named Collins, who was on the spot at the time. the prisoner Itlsrtin was secured and taken before Major Travers, one of the justices of the peace for the borough, and after hearing the evidence he was remanded for seven dad s, Other parties recognised in the transaction are being sought after, war rants having been granted for their apprehension. The offence is punishable with seven years' transportation, or three years' imprisonment. The Adventure naval transport, with stores on board for Plymouth and Milford yards, went out of harbour t o -d a y and anchored at Spithead, the wind blowing too strong from the westward, with heavy squalls, to allow of her proceeding further. The Sparrow surveying -vessel, Commander Otter, hauled out of Blockhouse-hole this morning into the fairway, and is now taking in water. She has been supplied with a tender here (a line-of-battle ship's launch), which has been neatly fitted and rigged like herself, but so outrageously overmasted that very great care and skill will be requisite in the ma nagement of her, to prevent her from " turning turtle," and forming a coffin for her crew.
