It was not difficult for a veteran debater to gloze over even the most serious blunders, or, at all events, to conceal the fact that they were due, not to errors in his judgment, but to an inevitable laxity of supervision. But now that the Prime Minister is no longer able to take his regular place during the sittings of the house, even the pretence of efficiency is gone. one of the most certain results of Mr. Gladstone's leadership. Upon finance, perhaps, there does not remain amlluicihisalretmiseratsiioonnsthhteahahseuncaifnorminaklyer. lefunsetdhetomeidondlceedoef the only financial changes by which the agricultural interest can be benefited. He still appears to cherish in its full force that hostility against the land which has been the animating principle of his financial ca reer. It is idle now to inquire into the origin of that feeling. It lies in the political history of the last 20 years, and, on the ancient principle of odisse quoit lmseris, the feeling gains a fresh impulse with every fresh expression of it, and so necessarily gathers force with time. The particular remission of the malt tax is one that the landed interest will never extort from a hostile Chancellor of the Exchequer. It can always be baffled by an appeal to the preju dices of Scotch and Irish members. County electors waste their strength in exacting from Liberal candi dates pledges upon the malt tax. The mere fact that a candidate supports Mr. Gladstone in effect de signates him as one who supports the continuance of the malt tax. He may, when the motion is brought forward, register a perfunctory vote against the tax, but he gives his parliamentary support to the only finance minister who has both the power and the will to maintain it. It needs not only a successful agi tation, but a friendly Government, before this burden 484 the lind can be relieved. With apparently this exception, Mr. Gladstone expressed to his admirers of the Liverpool Financial Reform Association a gene ral preference for direct over indirect taxation. It is not likely, however, that he will ever be permitted to bring this abstract preference into a concrete form. The income-tax payers have suffered' much at his hands, but their watchfulness has been aroused by the past, and they are strong enough to protect them selves.

The International Financial Society are authorised to receive Subscriptions for the Share Capital of this Com any, which has been incorporated by Special Act of Par iament for the purpose of Utilising the Sewage of the Northern Area of the Metropolis, the Concession of which has been granted to Messrs. Napier and Hope. The Concession from the Metropolitan Board of Works to Messrs. Napier and Hope, as now confirmed by Act of Parliament, is scheduled to the Act, and both may be in spected at the Offices of the Company. The Concession has been vested in the Company on con dition of the payment to Messrs. Napier and Hope, under the provisions of the Act, of £50,000 in fully paid-up Shares of the Company and a small contingent per-centage of the net profits. thThe Concession recites that in the opinion of the Board e works proposed by M essrs . N ap i er an d H ope are cal lated to effect the three following object; namely :- 1. To divert the Sewage from the Thames. 2. To render it innocuous by its application to growing crop s. 3 . To reali se th e great money value of the manure con tained in it. The first article confers upon Messrs. Napier and Hope 151'"the absolute and exclusive right to and property in the w age" t for a peri o d o f 54 years from the passing of the ' l O l bat the following provision in reference to the aPplication of the not profits resulting from the scheme after the expiration of four years from the passing of the Act. Previous to the expiration of that period all the profit results to the Company. r After ded uc ti on of the annual charge for " money bor eod," and of the " wor ki ng and establishment expenses, " ;.net profit shall be applied— share capi n Paymeut of intere s t a t 5 per cent. per annum on the tal. 2 . In pay ment i n equal moieties to the shareholders and tee' et ropolitan Board of the further profits up to 15 per cent. 8e,3. In divi s i on of profits exceeding 15 per cent, and up to Per cent. b etween the shareholders and the Metropolitan three -fo urths in the proportion of one-fourth to the former, and . ee-f ourths to th e l a tt er. . 1 , After 25 per cent. the division again to become equal. " ; 1, he otj ect of these stipulations is, that while the Metro- Itnitan Board are virtually to receive half the profit; yet, 'at, in order to give a greater security, and therefore greater value to the shares, the shareholde r s are t o h ave a Preference to the ex t ent of 5 per cent., which is made good the Metropolitan Board between the points of 15 and 25 P ert cent., at w hi c h latter point each party receives 12/ per l, and the di v i s i on i s t h en continued equally. Thus, e share capital of the Company derives the advantage of th e entire capital, approaching three millions sterling, ex the by the Boar Sewagee north side of the Thames, for collection of the at the point of its delivery to th e C ompany. At the expiration of 34 y ears th e Board have the righ t 4, - ivi.g two yea rs ' not i ce, to require a revision by arbi , tration of the above apportionment of profits. The Concession stipulates for the construction of a circu lar brick culvert, 9 feet 6 inches in diameter, shown by the red line on the accompanying map, and running from the Northern Outfall Sewer to the East Coast of Essex, and further, for the reclamation of the tract of foreshore and sand, coloured pink on the map (about 7,000 acres),the in tention being to irrigate the lands in the district through which the culvert passes, and to utilise the surplus upon the reclaimed land. A contract has been entered into with Mr. Wm. Webster (who has constructed more than one-third of the main drainage work of the metropolis, including the Crossness Outfall), for the construction of the work mentioned above, together with the necessary pumping stations, for the sum of £ 1 ,853,448. To this must be added the amount to be paid to Messrs. Napier and Hope in share; as before mentioned, the cost of land, engineering, Parliamentary, and legal ex penses,. superintendence, and management, together with lintercet at 5 per cent, per annum on the capital during the co nstruction of the culvert, estimated at atotal of £546,552 ; ht all £2 , 4 00,000. The Act authorises the Directors to raise the amount of £700,000 in debenture; but of this, as above shown, only £300,000 will in all probability be required. The Company have the right of taking, without any pay hea, duri ng th e f i rst four years, as much of the sewage as y can utilise. From this source an immediate return may be obtained, so that the return upon capital during Vide& ru eoestction should be much in excess of th e i n t erest pro " 4,fi On Payment on the 2d October next of the £lO p er Cer cate then due the Certificat es o f £lOO will be exchanged for Registered Shares of £lO each. According to the calculations made the eventual revenue of the Company is estimated at about £720,000, and the Working expenses and management at £50,000. Applications in the annexed form should be left with the B ank a ers, who w ill not, however, receive any applicatio ns unles accompanied by a deposit of £2 per certificate on the number of certificates applied for. In cases where no allotment is made the deposit will be returned in full, and should a smaller number than is applied for be alloted the balance returnable to the applicant will be applied towards payment of the amount due on allotment. In cases where an allotment is male the deposit paid on application will be liable to forfeiture if the balance due on allotment be not paid within the term fixed by the letter of allotment, and the allotment will be liable to cancellation. Default by sub scribers in due payment of the £lO per scrip certificate, pay able on 2d October, 1865, will, in like manner, render the scrip certificates subject to cancellation, and the amount theretofore paid thereon to forfeiture.

The Elections. (From the Quarterly Review.) Contrary to modernmaxim maxims, men arc just now of far more importance than measures. So far as the elections votes at the ensuing are given from a poli tical motive at all, not t of the vast majority of them will be given in supporta policy, but of a statesman. It is the personal question that must, therefore, take precedence of any other in a discussion of political probabilities. Who are the rulers whom we may expect to have if the present election should result xi in favour of the Government? All the Liberal papers are arg e ui ting ug upon the hypothesis that Lord Palmerston will continue to be Prime Minis ter. Most of the Liberal electors will probably go to the poll under the influence of the same idea. We sincerely hope that no further diminution of Lord Palmerston's health or strength will take place for a lo ng ti me t o come. His strong constitution holds out every hope that he will live for many years to enjoy the honour which men of all opinions will n gladly pay to who has devoted so large a por tion of his life, and su c h unwear i e d assiduity to the service of his country. But it is idle to expect that he can co n ti nue to hold the position of First Minis ter and l ea d er o f the House of Commons. He would probably have resigned it many months ago but for the importunate entreaties of his colleagues that he them would not forsake at this crisis of their fate. No man less courageous or less robust could have borne the exhausting burden of such an office at the age at which the Psalmist has ascribed nothing s but weakness and sorrow. oa in be ow. Not only is it a feat that is unexampled English history, but no ap proach to it even found. Sir R. Peel used to say that no ma n could perform 6 the duties of the office with efficiency after All honour to the vigour of mind r a a n l lf e r r e s s t h on ness o to . of feeling which have induced Lord good sacrifice to what he believed to be his country'sso large a portio n of the repose which old ae ra But it is obvious that su c h aayjustly claim. marvellous strain upon human powers must at last reach the limit at which they would refuse to answer to the call ; and it has been too evident, for many months past, that that limit has been reached. Ever since Easter L or d Palmerston's leadership in the Hou se o f Com mons has been little more than nominal. He has appeared on a few occasions to answer important q uestions, and has remained in his place for a short time before dinner. Once or twice e has remained But till late in the evening. —lit with these scanty ex ceptions the practical leadership of the house has de- I volved upon Sir G. Grey. Yet t, a ne actual presence in the House of Co mmon s — duty which in former years Lord Palmerston used to perform with unre mitting diligdnee—is the lightest of all the labours which the First Minister is called on to perform. If this is beyond his power to accomplish satisfacto rily, all the other and more onerous portion of his task must of necessity be laid aside altogether. The arduous duty by which alone a statesman- keep abreast even with the progress can of the most im portant public question is a toil compared to which attendance in Parliament is repose. Yet without this toil no Prime Minister can hold an unques tioned supremacy over his colleagues No man can be master of those who act under him if his know ledge of the subject-matter of their labours is pal pably inferior to theirs. For two or three years past it has been painfully apparent that Lord Pal merston no longer possessed any effective control over his colleagues. The acts of the Government have borne upon them little traces either of the old spirit or the old sagacity. It is difficult to conceive that Mr. Gladstone would have been permitted to utter a manifesto in favour of manhood suffrage if Lord Palmerston had been really master in his own Ministry. It is still more difficult to imagine that if the despatches of the Foreign-office had passed un der Lord Palmerston's eye, those ambiguous and in sincere intimations of support would have been made , which betrayed the Danes to their ruin. But all this administrative neglect mattered little, so long as the That Lord Palmerston, during the years of life which, we trust, are still in store for him, may by his counsel render great service to his country no one will deny. But it will be in some field of action less laborious than the office of Prime Minister and leader of the Home of Commons. In other words, it is not in any case a contingency to be accepted as lying within the limits of probability that he should long retain even the nominal guidance of the policy of the country. Any political action, there fore, based upon the assumption that he will continue at the head of the Liberal party, and that any power entrusted to their hands would be exercised under his guidance, rests upon a mere delusion. Nowt public opinion has always drawn a very broad dis tinction between Lord Palmerston and his colleagues. Rightly or wrongly, he has been a universal favou rite. His long experience, his great services, his popular manners, have all combined to recommend rim to his countrymen : and he has enjoyed in eon sequence a popularity which has scarcely ever been equalled in recent times, except in the case of men who have won it by military achievements. Not the least curious part of this feeling has been that it has been cherished perhaps more strongly among his professed opponents than among his friends. A belief that, in his heart, he was a sincere Conserva tive —or, as Sir James Graham used to phrase it, " the greatest Tory in the House"—and that his position as Liberal leader conferred upon him a power of giving effect to those opinions which, in any other position, he would not have enjoyed, naturally entitled him to the regard of the mass of the Conservative party. They forgave the laxity of the morality in the benefits of the results, espe cially at a time when Democracy seemed rather nearer at hand than it does now. The disinclination to oppose Lord Palmerston, so long as he was in his vigour, was very strong both among members themselves and among their consti tuents. It is only since it has become evident that his name and popularity were being used to mask the designs of far less trustworthy politicians that any opposition in earnest to his Government has commenced. But this popularity is far from being extended to his colleagues; least of all among the political opponents of the Government. No one sus pects either Lord Russell or Mr. Gladstone of being animated by a secret Conservatism. Whenever the whole power of the Government shall fall into their .hands the battle for the Constitution will be hard and serious work. Lord Palmerston, though he can do little to govern them, is still able to obstruct them. He may not be able to go very deeply into business, or watch over the development of a policy. He cannot do much to prevent his subordinates from giving an indirect assistance to the Radicals; but no important measure of government can be introduced without his consent; and he is still able to put his veto upon them if they directly aim at any object which he has been accustomed to dislike. But when he has reiired, as he inevitably must do in the course of a few months, this restraint will be wholly re moved, and a Liberal Government under his suc cessor will be something very different from what it has been during the last six years. In the present state of the Liberal party it is no easy task to forecast the name of the leader who will take Lord Palmerston's plan. If talent alone were to decide the choice, no doubt could be entertained, for Mr. Gladstone is without a peer. But talent alone is not sufficient to secure to him the unques tioned authority wielded by Lord Palmerston. The Whigs have never taken kindly to their distinguished convert. He was not born in the purple, nor do any ties of blood or marriage draw him within the sacred caste from among whom their leaders are tradition ally taken. There are other objections of a more substantial kind. He is in earnest about reform, which is a very unwholesome and unnatural frame of mind for one who aspires in these days to lead the great Whig party. He is one of those awkward men who will take pledges upon such subjects literally, and argues that, because his party have loudly professed the desirability of re form, therefore a reform bill ought to be brought in. No Whig following such a leader can feel safe fcr a single moment. He never knows, when he pledges himself to a "safe and satisfactory measure of re form" in the usual style, that he will not wake up some morning and find that he has been taken at his word. At the same time he is almost as dangerous to discard as to follow. He commands the undivided affections of the Radical section of the party. He has been the first statesman for many years past— perhaps the very first they have ever had—who has been even a possible candidate for Prime Minister. They sympathise with him very closely upon ques tions of finance ; and Church matters, which form the only point of difference between them now, are not likely to keep them very long apart. A time may come when his refined and subtle intellect may find their rough and ready dogmatism intolerable, and he may break away from that as he has from every other alliance he has ever formed. But for the pre sent there is no sign of discord between them. Their affection for him has been steadily growing ever since 1860, and no indication of its abatement has yet become visible. With backers so powerful, and at present so staunch, Mr. Gladstone is a candidate for power whom it would be dangerous, if not fatal, to offend. If he is slighted'by the offer of a position inferior to that which he thinks himself entitled to hold, it is in his power to split up his party to the very base. A Radical secession would give a palpable form to that irreconcilable antagonism of opinion which sepa rates the Democrat from the Constitutional Whig, and which even now is a cause of inextricable embar rassment to the party at many A borough election. These serious consequences would certainly follow, if the Whigs refused to take Mr. Gladstone for their leader in the House of Commons ; and there is no other man upon the Treasury bench sufficiently popu lar, or sufficiently qualified, for the post to induce them to incur any risk of breaking up their party on. his account. It may be assumed that, whatever their feelings may be,the command, as soon as it drops from the hands of the present venerable leader, will pas s without any open demur into the hands of Mr. Glad stone. Whether he will be Prime Minister or not, does not of course depend wholly upon the House of Commons ; but there can be little doubt that, if the present Government obtain a majority, the leader ship of the House of Commons, involving the sub stantial control of the policy of the country, will de volve upon him. If that be so, the futuie policy of the Liberal party will not be difficult to forecast. The measures which Parliament will be called upon to pass, if the electors should be deluded, by the use of Lord Pal merston's name, into returning a Liberal majority, will be those to which Mr. Gladstone has pledged himself. They are by this timetolerably well known. Upon his views in regard to the Church of England we have spoken elsewhere. They are at present in a state of transition, and cannot be described with perfect accuracy. Upon the rights of the Irish Church they have arrived at more maturity. He has expressed his opinions upon this subject with a frankness that will preclude him from receding from them at any future period. He holds that the pro perty of the Irish Church, held as it is by an undis turbed title of 300 years, is yet unreservedly at the disposal of Parliament to do with it what it thinks best, and that Parliament ought to exercise that power in favour of the religion of the majority of the people. We may look, therefore, upon a formal agitation for the spoliation of the Irish Church as The real and pressing danger of Mr. Gladstone's leadership will undoubtedly be his newly-formed views upon reform. Or rather, to put it more gene rally, they will be the dangers arising from any Libe ral majority when once the restraining influence of Lord Palmerston is taken away. It must not be for gotten that the Liberal party differs from the Con servative party in this, that it is not a homogeneous body. In the Conservative party there may be here and there individual eccentricities ; but the whole is not divided into two strongly marked sections, dif fering diametrically upon points of the utmost mo ment, and viewing each other's movements with jea lous suspicion. It is an old remark that the Whigs and the Radicals differ more from each other in point of political opinion than the Whigs and the Conser vatives ; but the remark received new illustration from the reform debate of the present year. The Whig speakers who conducted the resistance to Mr. Baines's bill scarcely fell short in anything of the sentiments which the stoutest Conservative would desire to express on such an occasion. On the other hand, nothing could exceed the wrath expressed by the Radicals at the desertion of their nominal allies. If the expressions that were used by them towards the Whigs and towards the Government, both in the House of Commons and the press, are to be looked upon as the utterances of political friends, political friendship must be a very stormy kind of passion. Mr. Bright's address, again, to his constituents at Birmingham, is a composition that can scarcely be called affectionate in its tone. " Betrayal," " treachery," " violation of solemn pledges," " neglect of first duties," are among the endear ments with which its few sentences are filled. It is evident enough from many pregnant indications that the Radicals are tired of the Whig alliance upon its present terms. If they are again to form part of a Liberal majority, they will require some other con sideration for their services than a seat in the Cabi net for Mr. Milner Gibson. They will insist upon a hearty co-operation in some measure of reform, which shall place Radicalism permauentlf in. power, and supersede the necessity of begging for Whig patronage for the future. Will the Whigs consent to the demand ? If any considerable number of them refuse the position of affairs will be much simplified: for a Liberal majo rity will be impossible. But will their virtue be equal to the trial when this result of it is fairly before their eyes? Till the moment for decision comes it will be impossible to predict whether wounded pride or genuine fear for the constitution will gain the mastery. The struggle will be a severe one. That lowest form of partisanship which pre fers rather to change opinions than to change com panions is not extirpated from the House of Com mons, and perhaps prevails more strongly among the Whigs than in any other part of it. It is impossible to forget that in 1852, and again in 1859, rather than sacrifice their majority, they yielded to pres sure upon this very point, and consented t 9 legislation to which they were notoriously averse. Their weakness of conviction and their intense tenacity of power are the great danger of the present crisis. Neither of these weaknesses can be imputed to the Radicals; and. it is from their superiority in this respect that they derive their in fluence. But few of them have ever consented in recent years to sacrifice their opinions for the sake of office. The Whigs, first intent on place, and only giving an afterthought to the Constitution, have hitherto yielded easily to the bold, uncompromising convictions of their allies. And the probability un happily is that under the same temptations they will pursue the same course again. It may at all events be taken for certain that the yielding will not come from the other side. If, in the coming Parliament, the Liberals form a strong and united party, it will be with Mr. Gladstone for their leader and a Radical policy for their programme. And if, with a Parlia mentary majority to back them, their leaders again occupy the Treasury Bench, it will be under a pledge —which this time cannot be bought off by the sac rifice of the paper duties—to effect the degradation of the suffrage. We need not dwell upon the evils of this change. We have done so very recently, and those who have read the admirable speeches of Mr. Lowe and Mr. Horsman will find in them a perfect thesaurus of ar guments against democratic reform. We believe that the covictions of the large majority of the elec tors throughout the country are in harmony with the doctrines laid down in these speeches. But the urgent need of the present moment is not to strengthen the conviction by arguments, but to give effect to them by acts. In the hands of the Conservatives the precious deposit of the constitution may be safely trusted. During the last five years all the questions of per manent importance that are likely to occupy public attention have been discussed in the two Houses of Parliament, and the opinions of the Conservative leaders freely expressed in those discussions are con sequently well known. They have expressed them selves in opposition to all bare degradation of the suffrage, to all alterations in it .that can in any de gree increase the democratic element in the constitu tion, with a frankness which leaves no room for mis construction. Upon every occasion they have stood firmly by the interests of the Established Church, from whatever quarter the attack against her may have proceeded ; and to the energetic party action taken under their guidance her rescue 'from more than one enemy who seemed on the point of triumph ing is to be ascribed. It is of no use to attempt to divide the men from the parties they lead or the measures they support. It would be ridiculous for a Liberal to support a Conservative candidate, be cause he happened to have a personal admiration for Lord Derby or Mr. Disraeli; and it is equally absurd to wish well to Conservative measures, to desire the maintenance of the Church in her rights, or to look ' with apprehension at the insidious ap proaches of democracy, and from some personal preference or friendship to withhold political sup port from the statesmen who have devoted all their powers to carrying these objects into effect. It is evident from Mr. Bright's address that he has bated neither heart nor hope. " I trust," he says, " the result of the coming election will show that ) not- It is for us to show that " the cause of true free dom," as we understand it, that is to say, the Go vernment not of numbers, but of property and in telligence, is not missing its final triumph through the languor and carelessness of those who know its value. In this special juncture of affairs the atti tude assumed by England will do much to influence the course of opinion throughout the world. The delusion that the particular tyranny which consists of the despotism of the multitude could be a source of freedom is passing rapidly away. It has lain heavily upon the world for more than a century. It has blinded some of the acutest intellects, some of the most earnest lovers of their kind who have appeared on earth, while its power lasted. It has furnished an instrument for the intrigues of many arc unworthy ambition, and has fre quently served to disguise the greed of adven turers or the venom of disappointed pride. It has been the pretext of more than one bloody into the thought dust.

Instructed by France and America, men are awaking to the fact, which, under some strange delusion, philosophers have sought to ignore, that uncontrolled power is as fearful an instrument of oppression when. it sulxi.aes the passions of a class as when it executes the will of a sultan or a czar. But at such a juncture the opinion of the civilised world naturally turns to England. Reflect ing men instinctively ask how these events are in terpreted, how these problems are solved, in the land where modern freedom was cradled, and has produced the most marvellous fruits of prosperity, and happiness, and peace. A great responsibility lies upon the governing classes of this country at a moment so critical in the history of political opinion. If we, at such a moment, weakly yield to the theories, now worn out and antiquated, which would confer supreme power on the multitude, we may throw back the cause of true freedom for half a cen tury. If, on the other hand, we can by our example persuade those who to preserve the mere blessings of social order have taken refuge in autocracy, or in Caasarism, that regulated freedom does not mean supremacy of ignorance and poverty, we may hope to see the shackles removed which in many a land lie upon thought, and speech, and industry. In questions of politicalright England exercises an enor mous influence over the whole of the civilised world ; and the question which England is called upon to determine is whether those, who above all things desire that industry shall have its free course, and that trade shall not be disturbed by tumult, may trust to free institutions to give them a security which in some countries they are beginning to imagine can only be conferred by military rule. If England at such a moment is deluded enough so to alter her franchise as to yield the government of the country to the trades' unions, men will conclude that constitutional systems are only part and parcel of the delusion of the democratic theory, and that strong governments are the only hope of those who desire to pursue their own industry in peace. This is the issue which the constituencies of this country have to decide. They must judge between the Conservatives and the Radicals. The Whigs constitute only an accidental compromise due to the matrimonial arrangements of a few great families, with the peculiarity that many of them are willing to sacrifice the interests of their class, in order to promote the personal ambition of those who belong to their family connection. But their number di minishes with every election. It is obvious that in course of time those merely personal conditions of association must be overruled ; and the members of the party which tries to serve two masters must take their place upon one side or other. The true battle is not with them. It is not between them and the Conservatives that the electors have to de cide. The issue is a far broader one, and cannot be obscured by the paltry intrigues of parties, or the selfish trimming of personal ambition. The question is, - whether England shall be governed by property and intelligence or by numbers. Those who prefer the first alternative will vote for the Conservative candidate ; those who prefer the last will vote for the Liberal. There is no middle term between the two. It is the great controversy of modern society, the great issue upon which the hopes of freedom, and order, and civilisation depend. To the electors of Great Britain this issue is committed ; and may God defend the right ! Amateur Championship of the Thames. The trial heat for the Wingfield Sculls, at present held by Mr. W. B. Woodgate, was rowed yesterday afternoon, from Putney to Mortlake. The following were the entries and starters : Station 17 Mr. W. P. Cecil, West London Rowing Club. 2. Mr. C. B. Lawes, Third Trinity Boat Club. 3. Mr. J. Lindsay, Clydesdale Amateur Rowing Club. 4. Mr. E. B. Michell, Magdalen College, Oxford. Number 1 station on the Middlesex side of the river. Betting-6 to 4 agst Michell, 6to 2 agst Lawes, and sto 1 agst Lindsay. A good start was effected at 4.34, just on the slack of the flood, a breeze from the west making considerable dis turbance on the water. Cecil was the first to get fairly into his pull, and went to the front, Lindsay,Michell, and Lawes being separated by a length each. More than 200 yards had not been rowed when Lindsay, the North countryman, pulled on Cecil and obtained a lead of one length, pulling at a rate that it was certain could not be long maintained. Michell, with a fine steady pull, next dropped Cecil and breasted Lindsay. Lawes, working a good forward stroke, also left the London man astern in the next dozen strokes, and, rowing between the Oxford and Scotsman, now neck and neck, picked the latter up as Michell went away fairly to the front. Seven minutes had not elapsed before Cecil was beaten hollow, and out of the trial. Lindsay also exhibited signs of fatigue, and, in spite of the shouts of his friends who followed in an " eight,' he pulled stern on into a skiff under the shore, and smashed his bow to splinters. The race now rested with Michell andLawes, the former keeping a slight lead, and both pulling with tremendous exertion over the awash. At the Soapworks they fell in with two barges in their course, and Lawes passed the pair on his right, while Michell, very cleverly handling his sculls, went between them, having barely room to work his oars. At 4h. 45m. Michell and Lawes (12m. ss. from Putney), passed under Hammersmith-bridge, the Oxford man having a good lead of a length, and still pulling away. Lawes, however, seemed capable of staying any time, and was coming forward with his oars steadily, pulling with a long swinging sweep, which perhaps for style did not look so telling as the more finished stroke of Michell, but which served him well. Midway be tween Hammersmith and Barnes Lawes pulled on his left, and coming across Michell's stern overlapped his rival's right oar, the various spectators ashore and afloat evincing the most intense excitement, as they rowed the next 200 yards neck and neck. The Oxford man after this struggle began to show signs of overwork, but making desperate efforts pulled his left, and coming across La wes's stern placed himself in his own position; but Lawes still had too much strength for Michell's pluck, and when they passed underneath the bridge at Barnes the Trinity boat was a length and a half ahead, time 24m. 555.

Lawes arrived at the goal, and won in. 30m. 28-sths, as timed by one of Mr. M. F. Dent's chrono meters. Mr. Thornicroft kindly placed his steamer at the disposal of the umpire, who accompanied the match. The final heat will be rowed on Friday at 6 o'clock, Mr. Lawes being generally the favourite.
