017EY MARKETI SHARE AN ri COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the discount market there is very little busi ness in operation, the demand for money being exceedingly small. The supplies of capital on offer are very large, and brokers are consequently in - clined to work cheaper. The general rates for the best bills are 3i -I, but exceptional operations are recorded in very fine paper at 31 per cent. The share list of the Moyar Coffee Company (Limited) will be closed on Thursday the 13th for London, and Saturday, the 15th, for the country.: A withdrawal of £39,000 in gold took place from the Bank of England yesterday, but its destination did not transpire. There was a material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon, but the tendency was downwards. Since Saturday last the imports of specie have amounted to £56,920, and the exports to £84,908. The supension has just transpired of Me vs. Charles Joyce and Co., of Moorgate-street, mer chants, extensively engaged in the Egyptian trade, with liabilities amounting to £1,100,000, of which £ 6 00,000 are expected to rank upon the estate. No estimate can h e formed of the assets. o O'LOCK. At Pari s , thi s day, according to Tw Mr. o Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 80 c. Quiet. The English Stock Market which opened with a steady appearance, has since became firmer on pur chases induced by the easy state of monetary affairs, but the amount of business transacted has not been large. Consols have risen s per cent., viz., 90/ for money, 90i 91 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced are 88 ; ditto 3/ per Cents., 96 ; ditto 2 per Cents., 74 ; India 5 per Cents., 106/ s ; and ditto Enfaced, 104. In the Foreign Market there has been very little animation or fluctuation. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 74} 75 ; do. Consolides, 54/ ; Mexican, 27 271 ; do.

South-Eastern have declined 55.; North-Western, ss. ; North- Eastern (Berwick), ss. ; and Metropolitan, 10s.; while Great Western have improved ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there is little variation of importance to record. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, and exhibit little change as regards prices. Union of London, however, have improved to 541 ; London and County have declined to 75 ; City of Milan Improvement have advanced to 11/ ; and Royal ' Mail Steam are steady at 100.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE CARRIERS' ACT-SNELQAR V. THORNTON. This was an action to recover damages for the non-deli very of certain wine to the consignee named by plaintiff in his address, defendant being a common carrier. Plaintiff said that if the carrier could not find the place named in the direction on his parcel he ought to return it to the carrier. His Honour said the carrier was not bound to do so. The contract with him was to deliver the goods to a certain place, and there it ended. Plaintiff inquired what was to be done then ? His Honour replied that he held the goods to the order of the consignor. It had been expressly decided in a case in which the South-Western Railway Company were con corned that a carrier was not bound to return goods. Plaintiff declared that ho could not understand this views of law at all. His Honour said it was very plain. Defendant assured the Court that ho had not only used all due diligence in the matter, but had actually personally exerted himself to ensure a delivery of the parcel. His Honour said he must find for defendant, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, BOW-STREET PLATE ROBBERY AT THE ATHENMUM CLUB.—Joseph Cocking, an elderly man, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a quantity of silver plate, the property of tho trustees of the Athenaeum Club. Mr. Bennett said he was butler at tho Athenmum Club. There were two under butlers, the prisoner being one of them. He left on the 17th of January. Previous to his leaving he had been informed that there was to be an examination of the old and unused plate in his care. He went away the next morning without notice. On going to the drawer in which the plate was kept, he (witness) found a letter in which the prisoner said he had been in duced to pawn some of the plate through trouble at home. The property had all been recovered, it having been pledged with pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood of the prisoner's residence. William Joseph Caseley, assistant to Daniel Brown, pawnbroker, Cranburn7street, identified the spoons and ladles as property pledged at his master's shop by the pri soner. He obtained £3 10s. on them. He pledged them on the 9th of February. Mr. James Aldhous, of 67, Berwick-street, Soho, pawn broker, produced four silver table spoons and other articles, pledged at his shop on the 25th of April. The sum of £3 was advanced on them. He recognised two other dup licates relating to plate issued from his shop. One was for a silver cup, September, 1863, for £2, and the other four gravy spoons for £5, in 1864. He could not identify the prisoner. The property was pledged by a person giving the name of John Cos. Charles:Halford, assistant to Mr. Stephens, Brewer street, Golden-square, pawnbroker, produced two silver punch-ladles, pledge at his master's shop for 125., and 12 silver wine labels for 15s. in the latter end of last year. The name of the party pledging was given as John Cox. He could not identify the prisoner as that person. William Harrison, assistant to Mr. Fleming, pawnbroker, Brewer-street, Golden-square, produced 8 silver wine labels, pledged at his employer's shop on the 10th of August, 1864. Mr. Bennett was recalled, and identified the articles pro duced as the property of the trustees of the Athenaeum Club—viz., Earl Stanhope, Sir R. Murchison, Lord Over stone, Sir C. Eastlake, and General Sabine. Charles Bulcher, 197 C, said about one o'clock this morning he went to 16, Broad-street, Golden-square, and saw the prisoner. He asked if his name was Cocking, and he said it was. He told him he belonged to the police and that he should take him into custody for stealing a quantity of plate from the Atheneum Club. He said he was not the person, but that it was his brother, and that he was up stairs. Witness went up stairs to the second floor and there he saw the prisoner's wife. He told him he was the man that was at the club and that he should take him into custody. Prisoner said it was a bad job, and that when he took the articles he thought he should be able to re place them. He also said he was in hopes, as it was se long ago, that the matter was blown over. He then took him to the police—station. Mr. Flowers—You did not see the prisouer's brother when you went upstairs? Witness—No, your worship. On being asked what he had to say in answer to the charge, The prisoner said he had been induced to pledge the pro perty through distress and trouble. Mr. Flowers said it ought to be stated at the time the prisoner was tried that the property was old silver articles out of use, as that might give a colour to the prisoner's as sertion about being able to replace the property. He was then fully committed tor trial. Freemason Government in Portugal. Letter 111. A. B. SAP.AIVA. Cabinet resigned, but to be soon reinstalled in power, only changing two of the former Ministers, viz., that of war, and that of finance. Before this change had taken place, the budget had been presented to Parliament, of course in the name of all the Cabinet then existing, and with the in dispensable approbation of the head of the same Cabinet, the Prime Minister Louie. The modification of the Cabi net took:place ; the same men, with the exception of two, remained in power, and the new Minister of Finance pre sented a new budget different from the former one. The very same Duke do Louie, President of the Council now, as he was before the alteration in the Cabinet, and after having defended in Parliament the former most lavish budget, declares now that he had not shared with his for mer colleagues the responsibility of their budget, and de nounces to-day what ho proposed and maintained yester day, and in what they call a constitutional Government,' the Prime. Minister repudiates the responsibility of the measures of his own Cabinet! A deputy, Pinto de Magalhaens, argues against a most onerous and defective contract made by the Government with a company, for the steam communication between Portugal and the colonies. A Ministerial Deputy, M. Garcez, gets up, and says that the House's duty was merely to approve the contract, and had no business to discuss it, or to interfere at all with its clauses, or alter them—that is to say, whatever the Freemason Ministers do is well done, and the Parliament and the nation have only to submit, and, above all, to pay. Now, I shall simply translate faithfully from the Portu guese paper the following article : "Is there no more in this land any ecclesiastical authority ? Have we already become altogether Pro testants, Mahomedans, or Jews ? Have they succeeded already in placing this most faithful Kingdom out of the pale of the Catholic Church ? Does it no more exist, a law, so much talked about, so highly praised, wherewith we were told they were so much in love, in whose sixth article we read that—' The Roman Catholic and Apostolic religion shall continue to be the religion of the Kingdom' ? If such law (the charter of Don Pedro) is now abolished— if the Portuguese still are—if those who govern them still call themselves—Catholics, how can we read in the Por- tuguez (a Ministerial journal) or 7 last Sunday, the public sale advertised of a work prohibited by the Church, and adding in the paper the express declaration that it is a prohibited work, in order that the contempt of the prohi bition may be more manifest ? These are the words of the advertisement : " ' A prohibited book. " ' Fulminated by the Index Expurgatorius at Rome. " Synopsis of Religions and Sects.' " And then adding who is the author, and where it can be had. " Is this possible, and that no voice should be raised against it? Is there no one bound to raise his voice, and bo demand from the public powers the observance of tho laws? Is it only by constant dumbness, by blind submis sion that the mission of watching and teaching is to be fulfilled? Will they not, at least, demand from the civil authority to fulfil that to which the governing party are bound by their own law ? Must human considerations prevail even in presence of the most insulting scandal ? What a disgrace!!" This article, as anybody will see, is addressed to the Patriarch at Lisbon, and to the Portuguese Bishops whom, with the honourable exception of one or two, the revolu tion and Freemason Government (with which British Catholics so much helped to favour us) have succeeded in turning to the point of quietly sharing with the waves the latter's depredations upon the flock which the former were bound to defend and preserve. April 5, 1865. A. B. SARAIVA. Metropolitan Board of Works. The usual meeting of this Board was held yesterday, at the offices in Spring-gardens. The president, J. Thwaites, Esq., took the chair at 12 o'clock. FINANCE, The cash statement for the current week shows a tot& general balance of £592,993 2s. id. GENERAL WORKS-WESTERN DISTRICT. The Board received tenders for the execution of the general works in the above district, and Mr. Thirst's, being the lowest, was accepted, subject to the usual conditions. DEFAULT OF A RATE COLLECTOR. A report was brought up from the finance committee stating that the defalcations of Mr. Boult, late collector of rates in the parish of Marylebone, had been ascertained to amount to the sum of £352, and that after a careful inves tigation of all the circumstances, and communicating with his sureties, the committee were of opinion that an offer made by the latter (who are not in very good circum stances) to pay £2OO in full discharge of their liability should bo accepted. The recommendation of the committee was, after some discussion, adopted. RESIGNATION OF A MEMBER. A letter was received from Mr. °relic; an old member of the Board, stating in substance that as the Board had negatived his motion, made at a former meeting, that two dissenting ministers should be invited to the opening of tie Main Drainage Works, he felt it his duty to resign. He thought it unfair that Churchmen should have been invited and Dissenters excluded. The other business disposed of to-day was of a routine character, and the Board adjourned at an early hour.

March 29th, 1865. P.S.—lf you are kind enough to publish in your Catholic paper my letter of last week, I should be thankful by your adding to it the following appendix : I received by the last mail from Portugal a number of Lisbon journals, of which, owing to obligatory occupation of other sort yesterday, I have only been able to read two numbers. From the first, the Nacao of the 21st last, I will give you a few extracts, most beautifully exemplifying the advantages gained to my country, and through it to reli gion, morals, and sound policy, by the happy system of liberty and reform, which the British Catholics so much contributed to impose upon the Portugese people, thirty and some years ago. The Duke do Loul6—it must never be forgotten—avowed himself in full Parliament a Freemason, and has been noto riously the Grand Master of the precious order or craft in Portugal. Of late, as is well known, he and his The Great Oxford and Cambridge Eight oared Match, (TIIIS DAY.) Incidents have multiplied upon incidents during the last few days to render the contest for the blue ribbon of the Thames this year the most exciting race that has ever been contested between the Universities of Oxford and Cam bridge. Time was when the attractions of this race were mainly confined to members of their seats of learning, but, ere many repetitions, it was soon found that the race in itself possessed merits which must not only render it gratifying to the public, but which must perpetuate its popularity, and time has confirmed its reputation,while experience has convinced us that in this race only is rowing practised with the closest approximation to perfection.

Ch (cox.) 7 13 The race, although not an annual event at first, has now been so for many years, and has invariably taken place on the day before Palm Sunday, which now necessarily fell on Saturday, April 8, above a fortnight later than last year. The task of chronicling the excitement in the prepara tion for the enjoyment of the consummation of the event is of a somewhat arduous character. Amongst all classes bustle and excitement have been apparent in the metropolis of aquatics, and the note of preparation has sounded merrily amongst the various rowing clubs and all the boat yards of the Thames, above and below bridge. Throughout the early time of training, which has been in progress for nearly two months, the continued severity of the weather excited doubts and apprehension in the minds of the community respecting the condition of the opposing crews, but within two or three days after the ap pearance of the Oxonians at Putney it became more genial, and upon the whole was exceedingly favourable for practice. The crowds that have thronged Putney for many days have abundantly testified to the popularity and interest of the event, and the ardent lover of rowing has been in some sort rewarded for his patient toil upon the towing-path or across the heath and common between Putney and Mort lake, by the gratifying exhibitions which he has witnessed by the many hard, spirit-stirring trials and gallant races in anticipation of the great contest which it is now our duty to detail—of that all-engrossing event the issue of which was to reward the self-denial and endurance to which tho competitors have cheerfully submitted themselves for the last two months, with the laudable desire of sustaining the acquatic honour of their respective institutions. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TABLET. Sir,--Had Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Sheil, and other Catholic gentlemen who, 36 years ago, rendered such good services to the Catholic cause as regards Great Britai n , b u t :h e l pe d so muc h, un d er t h e fatal delusions of the ti me , in injuring it in Portugal, by believing all the views of the Freemason party, against the really constitutional Portuguese Govern ment and lawful Portuguese Sovereign —yes, had the Catholic members who so strongly supported the Whigs in imposing on my country the Free mason Government been allowed to see the fatal consequences of their error, we can imagine how how little their feelings would be pleasant on such account, and how much they would wish to repair the former fault, and to help for such purpose. In 1829, a most dear friend of mine (now dead) —a man of the most powerful mind, and the most upright heart as I ever have known—a most learned Vendeen, the Baron de Bordign6, sent me a copy of a magnificent book he had written and caused to be printed at his own expense, with the title " Legi timite Portugaise"—that it might be delivered to the great Liberator, with a view to show him how grievously he was in error concerning the Portu guese question. In that work, a large and very thick volume, the Baron demonstrated by the clearest evidence, On all the genuine and authentic documents—the original constitution of the Portu guese monarchy, the Cortes of Lamego (the Magna Charta of Portugal), and the other, subsequent, constitutional acts and laws of the legitimate Cortes or national Parliament, the lawfulness of King Don Miguel's title to his throne and crown. The Catholic Legitimists, generally, on the con tinent could not conceive how the great assertors of Catholic right and just interest in Great Britain could be so bitterly hostile to the true representa tives of the same principle in Portugal ; and they thought nothing more was necessary than to place before the eyes of Mr. O'Connell, and other Catho lics, the proofs of their mistake, to turn them into supporters of truth and justice in reference to Por tugal. This idea made the good Baron de Bordigne to send me his book for Mr. O'Connell, who was regarded by Continental Catholics as the un compromising defender of all right and justice. Sad experience had taught me better, and so I never attempted to offer the book to the Liberator ; knowing that, probably, such present then would only provoke more obloquy upon my se me cause, king, and party. S evera l conc l us i ve demonstrations of our right, and justifications of our conduct, written and printed in English (which would make, in all, good six or eight volumes), had already been published here by us, and duly distributed to all the members of Parliament, Commons and Peers, to the editors of the principal newspapers, to the ministers, of course, and to most of all the remarkable political men in England. All in vain, nothing was read, nothing was examined, or even refuted, and all the foulest and most groun less accusations continued to pour upon us, in the Press, in the Parliament, everywhere. Curiously enough, at that time, the Catholics both in England and Ireland, were the most bitter against us—such was the influence of Mr. O'Connell's words and example. Of all our clergy at the time, the only members I knew who did us justice were Bishop Bramston and the Rev. Mr. Scott, then the Pro vincial of the Jesuits in England. The Bishop, who had studied in the English College at Lisbon, speak ing Portuguese, and being correctly informed from Portugal by the members of the college ; Mr. Scott being also acquainted with the truth, by the Jesuits then in my country, where I myself had been the principal promoter of their re-admission in 1829. The French priests in the French chapel sympathised also with us, because, having them selves been victims of the French Revolution, whereof the Portuguese one was but the legitimate daughter, they did not allow themselves to be deceived by the misrepresentations of its votaries and sup porters. As for the Protestant public in general it is some what remarkable that it was among the Tories alone that we met with some impartiality, with a hearing at first, and then with some sympathy and favour. As to the great and noisy Liberals, they were all for oppressing us with their " liberty" at any cost, to make us swallow it by% all means, foul or fair. Any file of the Times, the Morning Herald, the Morn ing Chronicle, the Courier, or the Globe, from 1826 to 1836, and Hansard and the Mirror of Parliament will amply confirm, if necessary, the truth of what I have said. Now, further to show what sad 'results came out Cf the grievous mistake thus committed by the Bri tish Catholics who supported and helped our Liberals in imposing upon my country their Freemason Go vernment, I will here copy the following letter just received from " Covilhan" (the Portuguese Leeds), illustrating in the most striking manner the beauty of the fruits produced by the Masonic tree, which formerly British Catholics were so zealous in help ing to plant in their most faithful kingdom. Better to make the letter understood, it will be required to .preface that two good priests, brothers of inde pendent fortune, and most excellent character, after having been studying at our University of Coimbra, and attained the degrees of doctors, retired to Covilhan, their native place, and there began to teach and promote, by word and ex- , example, the doctrine and practice of religion, de votion, and Christian morals. Their zeal was soon rewarded by most happy fruits ; they had the con solation to see the people flock to their instructions and devotions, which effected in the town a most edifying revival of the practices of religion, piety, and charity. Thereby they incurred the bitterest hatred of the Freemasons, and they began to be fiercely attacked in the Revolutionary press, de nounced as " fanatics," "reactionists," " Jesuits," enemies of the " Liberal" and " Constitutional" system, &c., &c. They nevertheless continued un daunted in their pious and most meritorious work ; but the more they prospered, the fiercer grew the hatred and fury of the Revolutionists and Freemasons against the Rev. Doctors. On the occasion of the last elections in Portugal, these priests gave their opinion and advice to the people on the necessity of voting for persons of good prin ciple and morals, and shunning Freemasons as enemies of religion; and then one of the brothers paid a visit to Rome. When there, the Freemasons in Portugal accused him of having unduly influenced people on the occasion of the elections; and an order was issued for his arrest. This was written to him at Rome, and as soon as he heard of it, he hastened his return home, in order to answer the charges brought against him, and submit to the conse quences. The rest I will now let the letter relate. " Covilhan, March 20, 1865. " Very disagreeable occurrences have taken place in this town early this year, the principal one being the iniquitous arrest of Dr. the Rev. Francisco Grainha, who is still kept in prison at Castello Branco. If you see the Portuguese papers, they will have acquainted you with the whole affair, which, in short, is this Dr. Grainha, pre vious to the elections, preached, and advised the people not to vote for Freemasons, and saying, that by voting for them Catholics incurred exco mmunication.' [This was, no doubt, in reference to the censures. of the Popes against the secret societies.] It would be better for ecclesiastics not to allude to politics, and even that they should not mention Freemasons at all; as they (the Freemasons) are now do minant—they reign and govern—and aro most intolerant against anybody whom they consider to'bo their adversary. They wish freely to say, and write, and publish by the press, anything they please against the Church and against the clergy ; but will not admit to allow the latter to per form their duty by preaching and giving advice to the people. " The new Minister of Justice has declared, that he will protect the Church and the clergy, and defend the Government against the invasion of the latter, on their interference in the business of the state. That his prin ciple and motto shall be a free Church in a free State.' It is Cavour's doctrine, but (if sincere) it would be preferable to the present state of things ; lot them have as many masonic lodges as they like, lot them have mosques, and synagogues, but lot them at the same time allow convents to be established, sisters of charity to be admitted, &o. Let the liberty be equal to all. Lot them in reality protect and not persecute Catholicity ; which, even according to their charter, is the religion of the state." I shall avail myself of tho first opportunity and leisure moment, to seek one of tho fashionable spirit-evocators, that he may bring me up the spirits of O'Connell and Sheil ; as I shall be very glad to know what they now think of such results as I have described, of the strenuous WES TMINS TER. AN ARTFUL CADGER.—Elizabeth Bliss, a married woman, was charged before Mr. Selfe with begging in Eaton-place. Cursons, 272 B, stated that on the previous evening ho was in Eaton-place in plain clothes when ho saw the pri soner go into some areas and ring the bells. After coming up from one of the areas she asked a postman who was living at No. She then went to No. 20, where she rang the bell. The butler came to her and told her that she had a shilling a short time ago, and was directed not to call again. Mr. Selfe—You heard the conversation? Constable—Yes, sir. I then took her into custody. After she was locked up I went to her lodgings and found that she rented two houses. Mr. Selfe—What is her husband ? Constable—He earns about 20s. a week, and he has two sons who earn one 7s. and the other ss. a week. I saw the landlady, and told her that the prisoner was in custody, on which she observed "What, for begging ?" Ho replied that she was. Mr. Selfe (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to tho charge ? The prisoner said that she did not beg. She went to the house to borrow some money, when the butler gave her a shilling. She was then in great distress, having broken her ribs. Mr. Selfe—Who lives at 18, Eaton-place ? Is it not the residence of Dr. Lushington ? The Inspector said that it was. The Constable said that tho prisoner was not known to him. Mr. Salle observed that he was afraid she was in the ha bit of going about begging, but as she was not known he would discharge her. She was then discharged. THAMES. CLEARING OUT THE RUINS.— Christopher Borgwald, William Winters, John Sullivan, Catherine Macarthy, and Mary Ann Neale., the first a German, the others natives of Ireland, were charged with stealing a large quantity of timber from the ruins of a late fire in the Mile-end-road. Inspector Griffin, of the Metropolitan Police, said a very destructive fire took place about six weeks ago at the corner of South-street, in the Mile-end-road, and workshops, a dwelling-house, and a chapel were destroyed. The ruins were left in charge of the fire brigade until Wednesday, when the assurance offices gave up the salvage and paid the insurances on the property consumed. The men in charge were withdrawn, and the ruins were left unpro tected. There was a large quantity of partially-consumed timber and much that was not touched by the fire on the the premises, and directly the brigade men were withdrawn dishonest persons commenced the work of plunder, which the police at last stopped. There was quite a riot at the place yesterday afternoon, and the ruins, which were of considerable extent, would have been cleared away piecemeal if ho had not gone there and checked the plun der. He placed several constables on the spot, who found all the prisoners bringing away timber. There was no one to prosecute. He understood the property was held in trust by some Quakers for the benefit of almshouses. Gidney, Carter, and Long, police-constables, said the prisoners were taking away a good deal of wood from the ruins. Macarthy was in possession of 18 pieces of timber, and so heavy was it that she could scarcely walk under the burthen. Borgwald was carrying a piece of timber 15 feet long, 4 feet in thickness, and n inches wide. The others had as much wood as they could stagger under. The prisoners said they took the timber because others did so. Sullivan said thousands were takidg away the materials ; and Macarthy, who took away 18 pieces of wood of various lengths, said she "only took a little bit, the smallest.quantity in the world, to light her fire with." (A laugh.) The Magistrate said ho would give all the prisoners a caution. They had no business on the ruins. They had no right to take away anything. Ho would take the pri soners' own rocognisances in £2O each to appear before him on Saturday next, and if there was any more of those law less depredations ho would then punish them severely. DEATH OF MADAME PASTA.—This once famous singer died a few days since at her residence on the Lake of Como, at the age of 67, having been born in 1798. Her principal successes were obtained from 1823 to 1827, the enthusiasm she excited being very great. The " Sonnambula" and " Norma" were written expressly for her. She retired in 1836 to a beautiful estate she possessed on the Lake of Como, and has lived there ever since. QUARANTINE REGULATIONS AT LIVERPOOL.—At the meeting of the Liverpool Health Committee on Thursday the plague alleged to be now raging in Russia formed a subject of discussion, and inquiries were made as to the quarantine regulations now in force. Mr. M`Gowen (the law clerk) said that it was impossible to devise a better system than at present existed with regard to vessels sus pected of having sickness on board. If a vessel arrived with sickness on board the yellow flag must be hoisted, and no body allowed to land without examination and authority. The chairman said that the regulations were very strict, and penal on the captain and pilot for disobeying them. 47) 4 i 751 12 Si 601 107 421 1211 1 11 9 61 i i 1273 1351 16i 20 not 118 851 i I I 88i THE RACE. The crews did not come out until nearly half-past twelve, and then proceeded to their station—Oxford winning the choice, and going to the Middlesex side. There was not a ripple upon the water at the time excepting those made by the steamers, who got so far ahead that the men did not start until five minutes past one. They neither of them went away very well, but in five or six seconds they were all right, and Cam bridge immediately took the lead, and gallantly had forced their nose a quarter of a length ahead at Simmonds's, which , they increased to half a length at the London boat-house. The rowing in both boats was now extraordinary, Cam bridge doing three or four strokes per minute more than their opponents. Gradually the Cantabs went on gaining, and having cleared themselves at Craven, took their opponent's water at the Crab Tree, and went in front, and under Hammersmith-bridge two lengths a head. On passing Chiswick the Oxo nians now began to draw upon their oppo nents, and in the upper part of the reach, before arriving at Barnes, there was a change. Oxford went gallantly into the first place, and won by three lengths. Time, 21 min. 25 sec. The Cantabs were much distressed. They rowed with desperation, but to no avail. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
