The crow as at present existing is generally condemned and, although there may be plenty of material in the boat for a good crow, they at pre sent aro in very bad odour with aquatic men. As will be seen from the list subjoined, some important changes have taken place in the crew since we last gave the names, Mr. Senhoue, of Christ Church, having displaced Mr. Smith, of University College, who has entirely left the boat, while Mr. Coxe, of Brasenose College, has been introduced into the "eight" in the place of Mr. Wood, of Pembroke College. The menace constantly shifted about in the boat by Mr. G. Morrison, who is most unremitting in his attention, with a view of dis covering their capabilities. Subjoined is the position of the men as they rowed yesterday : st. lb. Bow. Mr. R. Raikes (Merton) 11 1 2. Mr. P. Senhouse (Christ Church) 11 4 3. Mr. Henry (Oriel) ... 12 12 4. Mr. E. G.

CAMBRIDGE, Feb. 24. The rowing of the Cambridge University boat, which was prevented last week, owing to the river being blocked by ice, commenced on Monday. The men are considered to be slowly improving. They will go into strict training towards the latter part of next week. Mr. R. A. Kinglake has come into the boat as No. 4. The following is the crew, with weights, which will probably bo considerably less by time of race : st lb 1. H. Watney ... 11 7 2. J. A. G. Marshall 12 4 3. E. V. Pigott ... 11 12 4. R. A.

The attendance was as usual very large, and the company highly respectable. Mr. G. Harrison, the commodore, and well-known spirited yacht owner, pre sided at supper, and gave the usual toasts of " The Queen, " The Prince of Wales Yacht Club," and " Tho Ladies to which was added, " Tho Commodore." Everything passed off most satisfactorily. THE WEST MIDDLESEX RIFLES.—The fourth monthly competition for the honour of holding the gold champion badge of the West Middlesex Rifles took place on Thursday last at Wormwood Scrubbs, the condi tions of the match being 5 shots each, at the ranges of 300, 500, and 600 yards ; Wimbledon (1864) targets and scoring. After a most exciting match the badge was won by Ensign Garner with the excellent score of 45 marks, the following being the official score of the three highest men :—Ensign Garner, 300 yards, 15 ; 500, 18 ; 600, 12—total, 45. Private J. W. Smith, 300 yards, 13 ; 500, 13; 600, 18—total, 44• Private Charles Hall, 300 yards, 11; 500, 16 ; 600, 15— total, 42. To the three highest aggregate scores made in twelve months will be awarded the three prizes present ed by E. Armitage, Esq., viz., £3, £2, and £l. NORTH WILTS. Lord Charles Bruce has issued an address to the electors, offering himself as a candidate, in the room of Mr. Sotheron Estcourt, who in the course of two or three weeks will apply for the Chiltern Hundreds. Lord Bruce states that he is prepared to give an independent support to her Majesty's present Administration, believing that in the conduct of domestic affairs they have been successful in light ening the burdens of taxation, while, at the same time, the great but necessary establishments of the country have been maintained at a high pitch of efficiency. He approves the financial policy of Mr. Gladstone, and believes the Government are entitled to credit for their successful maintenance of peace. The Conservatives are not yet prepared with a can didate, but the electors are asked to abstain from promising their votes. An influential Conservative will probably be in the field in a dad or two. An address to Mr. Estcourt, expressing regret at his retirement, and thanking him for the manner in which he has discharged his duties, is being generally signed throughout the division. MR. STIRLING, M.P.—We are glad to state that the health of this respected gentleman is now quite re-established, and that he is at present on his way home, after a residence of some months on the con tinent, with the view of immediately resuming his Parliamentary duties.—Edinburgh Courant. THE HON. E. P. BOUVERIE, M.P.—A report that Mr. Bouverie was about to forsake his seat for the Kilmarnock burghs at next election is totally un founded. The hon. gentleman has no such intention. —Greenock Advertiser. DEATH OF A HERMlT.—Duncan Marshall, the well-known hermit of Kilmun, Argyllshire, died a f e w days ago, at Dunoon, in his 85th year, and was buried on Tuesday last, according to his earnest desire while in life, underneath a flat on Rushfield-hill, two miles up from the public road, where his heritage was situate. Duncan was born and brought up in this quarter, and fol lowed the occupation of a fisherman. He was eccentric in his disposition from an early age, and his intellect showed considerable weakness, but still he was kind and gentle, and became a favourite in the neighbourhood. Having taken a fancy to a piece of ground at the foot of Rushfield-hill, about a mile and a half up from the head of Holy Loch or Kilmun, and about the same distance from Loch Eck, at a point remarkable for the picturesque grandeur of its High land scenery, having before it the entrance to three magni ficent glens which open up from the head of the Holy Loch —viz., Glen Lean, Glenmissen, and the Valley of the Eck— he applied to Mr. Campbell of Monzie, the proprietor of the Kilmun estate, for the ground on which to build a hermitage. Mr. Campbell at once granted it free, and here for many years Duncan has lived, his only companions being a few pet goats. During the summer months the hermitage was visited by parties from all quarters who were spend ing their holidays at the coast, and Duncan was at time: besieged by visitors. Lately he made a further request to Mr. Campbell, that he should be buried on this_ r. dt t miles above the hermitage, which was grante d d, Mr• pay all the Camp bell assuring him that he would see to it an d three years expenses.

Dr. Clark, CIRCUIT.—The Quincy Whig says that Professor Quinn, of New York, who is out west on a lecturing tour, has reached that place direct from St. Paul on skates. The distance is nearly 850 miles, which he skated in just two weeks, stopping, meantime, to lecture at many points on the way. The forgery of antiquities, - which is a fraud fre quently exposed, and denounced at the kneet4kgs of archaeological societies, formed the subject of the lecture at the Royal Institution last evening, by Mr. John Evans. The practice of counterfeiting and forging antiquities is by no means a modern one, some instances of it having been known in the 16th century, but it has been carried to such an ex tent in more recent times, that of many kinds of antiques there are more fraudulent than genuine ones. Mr. Evans noticed the different forgeries in various materials, commencing with those in earthenware, and proceeded to describe the pro cesses adopted to impose on the unwary. The frauds consist not only in imitating antique models, but in inventing objects that were never made by the ancients, and also in giving fictitious value to real antiques by altering them so as to appear of more ancient date. Very high prices have been often given for these forgeries, as much as £2OO having been paid for objects that are quite worthless ; but the attention that has been drawn to the subject by Mr. Syers Curving, Mr. Gunstone, and others, has tended to diminish the trade and to reduce the price. Mr. Evans mentioned the manner in which the dealers sometimes contrive to dispose of their wares. A respectably dressed man calls on a country collector of antiquities, and tells him that a "maiden lady" lately residing in a neighbouring town, who had a very valuable collection of ancient china, had died and bequeathed the whole to a rela tion at some distance, who did not care for such things, and was willing to dispose of them for less than their real value. The man then produces some speci mens having the figures on them which the country collector knows indicate great antiquity and rarity, and the sum for which they are offered is so low that he is tempted to purchase, and thinks he has got a great bargain, though they are really worth nothing. Mr; Evans said he had in his own possession one of these " maiden lady's" — **-1 collections, and a friend of his has another, on which he greatly prides himself, Mr. Evans not having the cruelty to undeceive him. In some in stances really antique porcelain is altered by having the glaze scraped off and introducing words and dates to give a greater appearance of antiquity, and in other cases earthenware is manufactured, the number of Roman lamps being prodigious. Coins afford fine scope for the counterfeiters, who either cast from original coins, or forge them, or alter the dates. A great variety of images and medals of all kinds may be purchased, which the vendors allege have been found in various diggings in and about London, the Thames embankment having been a most prolific source for the production of antiquities of all ages. Mr. Gunstone, for the purpose of de tecting some of these frauds, went to a vendor of images, said to have been found in the mud of the Thames, and asked to see the image of a bishop which he said he had heard the man possessed. The fellow said his brother was not within, and asked Mr. Gunstone to describe the kind of figure he meant. He then drew a sketch, and said he would call again. The next day the image of the bishop, an exact counterpart of his sketch, was produced with the word " fabricator" impressed on it, that having been the name Mr. Gunstone had given the bishop in his sketch. From the forgeries of works on metal, Mr. Evans next proceeded to consider those of stone implements, of which he exhibited many specimens. The forgeries of this kind, he said, are often so well executed that it is difficult to detect them, but a practised eye can generally distinguish the forged from the genuine by their general character. It must not, therefore, be supposed that practised archaeologists may be deceived in their estimation of the antiquity of stone implements and other articles. He admitted, however, in the case of the bones and implements found in the river-bed deposits that the numbers of these had vastly increased since it was known that they could be sold. On the lecture table there were placed a great variety of forged antiquities of all kinds, and others were exhibited in the library. HOSPITAL FOlt CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF TIIE CHEST, BROMPTON.—The quarterly court of the governors of this splendid charity was held yesterday at the hospital ; the Rev. Sir Henry Foulis, Bart., V.P., in the chair. Among the governors present were Sir Peter Van Notten Pole, Bart., Lieut.-General the Hon. T. Ash burnham, Capt. the Hon. Francis Maude, Colonel Frederick Paget, Samuel Whitbread, Esq., M.P., Dr. Dickson, Beau mont Hankey, Esq., H. A. Bosanquet, Esq., I'. P. Beck with, Esq., John Ball, Esq., and J. If. Wils on , E sq . Th e minutes of former courts, Szc., having been road, the secre tary proceeded to read the report of the committee of management, from which it appeared that little had trans pired during the last quarter calling for special remark. The governors were assured of the undiminished demands upon the resources of the charity, and of its continued usefulness both amongst the in and the out patients. The largest number of beds that could be made available in the present building was 210, and the whole of these were in use, but were far too few to meet the pressure for admis sion. The " Home" at the Manor House, Chelsea (the original Consumption Hospital), proved a useful auxiliary, by admitting some of the applicants whilst waiting to be received into the hospital. The committee noticed with much gratification the steady increase in the annual subscriptions. This very important source of income, even when added to the revenue from ground-rents, did not yield enough to meet the yearly expenditure by nearly £4,000, so that the committee had no option but to invoke the continued assistance of the public in order to supply this large deficiency. The com mittee had received information of the following legacies since the last court, viz. :—Colouel Onslow Baker, £lOO (duty free) ; Miss Maria Harman, £l9 19s. ; Mrs. Charlotte Gell, £2OO (duty free) ; Mrs. Morgan, £5OO (duty free) ; Mrs. Ramsden, £5O. The numbers of in-patients admitted since the 24th of November was 231; discharged, many greatly relieved, 174 ; died, 64 ; new out-patient cases, 1743. The report having been adopted on the motion of the chairman, seconded by Sir Peter Van Notten Pole, Bart., the proceedings terminated by a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. A NOVELTY IN SHOPLIFTING.—On Monday even ing a gentleman entered the shop of Mr. Thomas Lawrence, Queen-street, Wolverhampton, who keeps a tailor's and draper's shop. Lying on the counter were three overcoats, ready for packing. Mr. Lawrence ob served that his visitor carried a square black box, such as commercial travellers are sometimes seen with, and he also observed that the black box was deposited on the counter. The stranger, anxious to proceed to business, produced a card indicating that he was a traveller in the shirt collar and tie line ; and, immediately after producing the card, he opened the one side of the box, and pressed Mr. Lawrence to make a purchase. That gentleman was not inclined to speculate, and told the stranger so, when a second person entered the shop. This second visitor speculated in a collar, and then inquired the price of an article in the window. The first visitor drew back from the counter, at the request of the shopkeeper. As the latter, however, reached for the article in the window, the sham commercial man advanced to the counter, turned his box round, lifted it on his arm, hoped for " better success at his next turn," and retired. Mr. Lawrence's " customer" soon followed suit, leaving that gentleman an opportunity of observing shop the "traveller" and the "customer" chan ge dpla hm three ces; the shop as traveller. Again coats had disappeared also. Outside of i L t a nce's the "customer" a card is p ro d u ce e d n — te t ri b n is g t a im s e ee . produced, and is in the wadding trade —again the box a few samples of tohne.beusboinexssisto be transacted again one of the sides it! 01::3ahaeu;ine71 been picked up in the wadding.

The .....ao t: i c c t e, t 3p h a e m thi o o de pr o working. ac f titiors strictest observation at ß io E n v w Ea o .k ul u d E n . ot de and the medical profession generally, recommend cocas as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country there were to be obt fined no ',reparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, Homceopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1819 to turn his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes throogh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Hassell, in his work, "Food and its Adulterations," says —"Cocoa contains a great variety of im portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined alb., and 11b. labelled packets. and sold by all gropers, confectioners, and chemists.—CADY'Al 1 X 9 l ();‘; a °'
