The annual income is increased to 126,232/. 7s. 62., notwithstand ing the reduction on premium.;, amounting to the sum of 10,7161. 3s. 6d., allowed to those members who (hose this mode of appropriating the profits. The total amount. of bonuses assigned in 1847, to policies on which the original premiums continue to be paid, is 37,83 U. 4s. in addition to the sums assigned in 1842. The accounts to the 20th November last have been duly audited; the balance of receipts over disbursements for the year is 72,5511. 193. 3d., making the capital stock of the institution at that date 440,0281. 155. 3d.,',1 hich is invested in real and Government Securities.

I c:mnot view a time like this— A holiday of smiling bliss— Without a wish to weave a rhyme, In hailing happy Easter time. Come, cheerful feast, in welcome cc me, With active stir and busy bum; Cold must the senseless bosom be, Which cannot glow at meeting thee. A special charm this time has got, Which other holidays have not. And dearly do I love to mark, Thy smiling groups—thy busy park ; Thy gardens and thy crowde I fairs, Where many a happy heart repairs. And hence thy welcome do I sing, Bright glorious holiday of Spring. Thy near approach, for near thou art.

The news of the defeat of CHARLES ALBERT by RADETZKY between Mortara and Vercelli, on the 22(1, is confirmed, and it is stated that the French Government has received a telegraphic dispatch an nouncing a second and more complete defeat of CHARLES ALBERT on the 9 31. The loss of the Pied montese in this last battle is said to have been fright ful. The Piedmontese were almost destitute of artillery, as CHARLES ALBERT had left almost the whole of his artillery with the left wing of his army, which, z.dvancing to Pavia, was cut off from the main body by the advance Of RADETZKY. RADETZKY, on the contrary, had a hundred pieces of artillery, which plied the Pied►nontese infantry with grape-shot, and destroyed thousands of them. In consequence of the arrival of this intelligence, the French Government dispatched a courier yesterday morning to Turin to M. Bois LE COMTE, with direc tions to him to proceed at once to the camp of CHARLES ALBERT, and endeavour to induce him to put an end to the struggle and to abandon all idea of getting possession of Lombardy: It is supposed that Mr. ABERCROMBIE, the British Minister, will accompany M. Bois LE COMTE and act in conjunc tion with him. The news of the defeat of CHARLES ALBERT on the 23d having been received by tele graph of course no particulars can be known and in consequence reports of the most contradictory charac ter were circulated in Paris on the subject. It is said that there is a division in the Cabinet on the subject of active intervention in the affairs of northern Italy, four of the Ministers considering that the time has arrived when an armed intervention should take place on the part of France in favour of the PicdmoWese. The majority of the Cabinet are, however, opposed to armed intervention, and they are supported by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who emphatically declares that France will remain neutral. _ We read in the Moniteur— " A journal has aiserted, and others have repeated, that the Grand Duke of Tuscany yielded to the councils of the diplomatic body in quitting Santo Stefano and going to Gaeta. We are authorised to declare that this statement is entirely devoid of foundation." The Journal du Havre says— " The Brazilian Minister resident in Paris has, we are informed, remitted to the Government a note relative to the affairs of La Plata. In this note the Brazilian Go vernment declares its intention to repel the aggressions of the Dictator of Buenos Ayres, whose audacity is daily increasing, and to pursue to the utmost the war raised by Resas. It is added, that the Imperial Government claims the assistance of France, and offers to combine its attack with ours." The report of the death of M. BLIN DE BOURDON is confirmed, but it is said that the disease to which he fell a victim was not the cholera. M. in BEAu- MONT is recovering. Sir CHARLES NAriElt left Paris on Monday for Marseilles. The proceedings at Bourges on Monday were rather interesting, owing to the examination of MM. GARNIER PAGES, MARIE, and PAGNERRE, members of the Provisional Government. Their evidence was rather favourable to the prisoner, General Court- TAIS, of whom they expressed a high opinion. Three Colonels of the National Guard declared they had considered his instructions on the night of the 14th sufficient without waiting for further orders. • BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, MARCH 27. THREE O'CLOCK.—The Bourse has been exceedingly agitated to-day, in consequence of the contradictory ru mours with respect to the news from Italy. At one time it was said that the Piedinontese were completely beaten; upon which the Five per Cents. rose to G. A rumour got abroad, at the end of the Bourse, that the ::uccess of the Austrians was not at all so complete as e as supposed, and that Charles Albert was strong enough to continue the war for a lengthened period. This at once produced a reaction, and the Five per Cents. conse quently closed heavily, at 84f. 80e. There is no doubt, however, of the completeness of the victory gained by Marshal Radetzky.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premium , besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be. returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure hrough this Society. E.NEFTS 11.

HULL, MARCH 27. _. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—Since the official statement of imports was made up we have had another large arrival of all kinds of grain, but not so large as the number of vessels reported would indicate ; they are chiefly small craft from near ports that have been, kept back by the long prevalent westerly winds. A large proportion of the wheat is of too inferior quality for the wants of the market, and having comparatively a small show of real good samples, we must write the market very firm for such descriptions, with rather an upward tendency. During the past week a good business has been done in most articles of the trade, though at lower prices, with the single exception of the best runs of wheat. We had for to-day's market a good supply of farmers' wheat, and the condition being improved our millers were free buyers at fully last week's prices. A large show of foreign chiefly inferior both in quality and condition, and such was difficult to turn into money, while for the better runs of red we had a good consumptive sale at last week's prices, and many buyers. Some nice Saal barley is on the market, and less disposition to submit to late prices, but demand is slow. Grinding barleys offer low. Beans have been much depressed, and may be bought on very easy terms. Peas and oats quite neglected. Very little business doing in linseed, and our prices almost nominal. We note no alteration in cakes. No rapeseed on sale, and rape cakes very dull. A good many bones on the market. The following are the present prices of grain : s. s. s. 5.

LIVERPOOL, MARCII 27.—The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday continue on a moderate scale, con sisting of 1:36 quarters of wheat, 520 quarters of barley, 3,584 quarters of malt, 205 quarters of oats, 3,0. 6 loads of oatmeal, arid 1,215 sacks of flour. From foreign ports we have 11,862 quarters of wheat, 1,560 quarters of oats, 1,485 quarters of beans, 1,579 quarters of Indian corn, and 1,180 sacks and 1,533 barrels of flour. Our exports in the same time amount to 1,869 quarters of wheat, 500 quarters of beans, 9,871 quar ters of Indian corn, 1,404 barrels of Indian meal, and 948 sacks and 5,288 barrels of flour. The trading during the early part of the week was extremely quiet, and the brisk demand we ex perienced on Tuesday appeared to have entirely subsided ; on Friday, however, the demand revived, and upon the whole a fair business has been done in wheat and flour at full prices. Indian corn, also, has met with a free sale, and fine yellow, being very scarce, fetched 6d to Is per quarter more money. In other articles nothing has passed worthy of notice. At this day's market there was a good attendance of country buyers, but only a moderate deiLand was experienced for wheat at about the prices of this day week. Oats and oatmeal met with a slow, dragging sale, without change in value. Eng lish barley and peas were Is per quarter lower; but Egyptian beans fetched 6d per quarter more money. A fair amount of business was done in barrel flour at 23s 6d per barrel for Western Canal. Sack flour was not inquired for. In yellow Indian corn an advance of is per quarter must be noted, which tended to check sales, but we do not alter our quotation for white. Indian meal was neglected. LEEns, MARCH 27.—We have a good supply of wheat and barley to-day. The former is slow sale, and rather lower than this day week, and barley must be quoted is per quarter lower, and inferior qualities very diWcult to dispose of. Oats and beans are also a shade lower.

EXECUTION OF JOHN SMITH, FOB MURDER..--• SALISBURY, TUESDAY.—From the time of the conviction of this culprit for the murder of a female pauper at Col lingbourn, near Marlborough, he has maintained the utmost reserve as to his previous history and career. Yesterday (Monday) the Rev. Mr. Hadow, of Everleigh, the clergyman whom the prisoner attacked after the murder of the woman, had a long interview with him, and was informed by the culprit that he had visited Mr. Hadow's house about fifteen months before the murder, to solicit alms, and that he was then accompanied by a female, but be refused to tell Mr. Hadow what had be come of the woman since. The prisoner continued to maintain the most extraordinary firmness this morning, having slept soundly through the night, and eating his breakfast and the usual allowance served at half-past eleven o'clock, with avidity. He persisted to the last in withholding all information as to his real name and con nexions. He said he had parents living, and sisters and brothers, whom he did not wish to knw of his ignomi nious end. At twelve o'clock he mounted the scaffold with a quick and firm step, and a smiling countenance, and desired the executioner to hurry through his task as fast as possible. When, however, the cap was dra wn over his face, he requested the executioner to let him have another look at the crowd, which Icing complied with, he almost immediately added, " That will do," and the drop fell within a minute or two. The crowd in front of the gaol was immense, and far exceeded anything that had been witnessed hew on a similar cccasion. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 27.—The Montrose, Pe ninsular Company's steam-ship, commanded by Captain Lewis, with the mails for the Peninsula, left this after. noon. She took out cargo to the amount of 150 tons, and a few passengers. The American steam-ship Her mann, Captain Crabtree, left for New York yesterday afternoon at four o'clocic. She took out the English, French, and German mails, together with 120 passen gers, and an exceedingly large and valuable cargo of ge neral merchandize, the greater part of which consisted of French silks, laces, &c.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon, to the 19th, by the Peninsul a r an d Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid. The Minister of Finance (LorEz BaAsco) gave the following account of the miserable financial condition of Portugal, in one of the recent sittings of the Chamber of Deputies. He began by declaring that— " Come what might of it, be was determined to speak out the plain truth. He had been called to take charge of the finances at a period of greater embarrassment than had over been known before. The revenue was daily and rapidly decrea si ng , and what between the sums appropriated to the Board of Public Credit, those set apart for the repayment of temporary ac commodations, and the anticipation of various sources of income, the balance remaining in the pu blic coffers, to meet current demands, amounted some days, bat very rarely, to IS7 milreis, while other days it fell rather short of 90 reis, or five pence sterling! In making this painful avowal he did not wish to cast any re• flection upon his predecessor in office, who could not justly be blamed for that which was the effect of causes to be traced much farther back. To extricate the country all at once from these difficulties was of course impossible; but he trusted that, with time and patient perseverance, much of the evil might be remedied." By the new concordat the right of ecclesiastical patronage in India, vested in the Crown of Portugal, has been ceded to the Porn, the Bulla de Cruzada (a papal bull by which, on the payment of a small sum, varying from twopence to about two shillings, ac cording to the means of each individual, certain trifling mitigations of the Lent fast are granted, and which sums are transmitted to the Pork) is restored, and the Portuguese Government has further engaged to restore the extinct ecclesiastical seminaries at tached to each episcopal establishment, as well as to perpetuate the still remaining nunneries by again al lowing the profession of new nuns, which had been prohibited ever since 1833. It would be certainly more honest in the Portu guese Government to pay their creditors than to waste their funds in restoring e cclesiastical seminaries and sending money to the Porß. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. Letters from Vienna of the 21st state that an Ab solutist Congress will be held at Prague, where the Emperor of RussiA is expected shortly, on a visit to the Emperor of AUSTRIA. PRUSSIA. In the Upper Chamber on the 24th, Count DYHON addressed some interpellations to the Ministry on the subject of Count Amines note of the 10th. In the course of his speech he denounced the conduct of Austria in no measured terms. The following was the conclusion of it, which was received with loud cheers:— _ _ "I have no words to express my opinion of the con duct of Austria. The note (last Austrian note) has bad the most important effect upon the votes at Frankfort. This vote (the rejection of Welcker's proposition) is a misfortune —an inexpressible misfortune. Conse quently we, the representatives of the people, of the greater portion of the people, feel ourselves called upon to demand of Ministers—' What will be your policy in regard to Austria ? ' Should Germany be destroyed at Frankfort, we can rebuild it here. —(Bravo.) The time for courtesies and politeness is passed. The Prussian Minister, HERZBERG, wrote to the King, in 1791, these words: The safest part that Prussia can play is the boldest part,' and this part I demand that the Ministers shall play," The attacks of Count Dyhon were feebly answered by Count Arnim, Minister for Foreign Affairs, who said th at the note of the 10th was written some days bef, ,re in telligence was received of the publication of the Austrian Constitution, and was no way influ anted thereby. The motives for this note might be found in that of the 23d of February, and the object of the Government, in conformity with_ the sentiments contained in the letter was to coins? an understanding with Austria and all the Goveo ments relative to the definitive arrangement of the German question. The Cabinet would have committed an error iu rejecting the propesition of Austria for the estab- I lishment of a directory of seven Powers with nine i votes. Had it done so, or were it so to do, this would be an incomplete and partial and not a united opera , - tion. A directory would not place Prussia under' the rule of Austria, since it was specified that the chiefdom should alternate. As regards the poition which the Government intends to assume,' said Count: Armin, I can only refer the House to the declaration . made by the Minister rre‘ident in the debate 911 the ad MADE TO MEASBRK.

It is considered probable that Count Alai's will resign, and that the Cabinet will then adopt a de cidedly anti-Austrian policy. [PRICE SD. to attack the second division of cur army, which had taken up position on the road of Garlasco, before La Sporzesca, where the head-quirttra were, and on the road of Gambol°, with a vanguard stationed us far as Borgo San Siro. The first attack took place ripen the position of La Sporzesca, and was renewed several times for more than four hours. Our troops, seconded by the second regiment of the brigade of Savoy sustained all these attacks with valour. About four r M. the enemy attacked the came division en the road to Gainbulo; here the first regiment of Savoy alone, with eight pieces of artillery, resisted every attack, without losing an itch of ground, for more than an hour ; meantime the bri gade of Savona and the fourth division arrived, and the enemy was repulsed. In all these engagements, such of our troops as took part in them behaved in a most praieworthy manner. About six P.M. the Austrians attacked two other divisions—namely, the first, and the reserve division, which occupied the position from Ves• palate and Novara to Mortara. Although the enemy did not begin this attack with great force, our troops re tired after a short engagement, which was only main tained by the division of reserve, the first division not having taken part in it as it ought to have done. The enemy afterwards entered Mortara, without any material damage being suffered by that town. Yesterday (22d) there was no engagement. The head quarters were transferred to Trecate and thence to Novara, where the King is. The Princes are at the head of their divisions. The Commander•in- Chief has concentrated all the forces near the head-quarters on the right flank of the enemy's army. Some soliiers shamefully dispersed, and they it principally was who spread alarm in the towns of Ver celli, Casale, and other places in the vicinity. Govern ment has given all necessary orders to proceed against them with the greatest severity, and send them back to their corps. The local authorities all did their duty, and showed the greatest energy and activity. " The Minister of the Interior, " RATAZZI." A telegraphic dispatch received from Alessandria, on the 22d, at Turin, states that RADETZICY was still at 3 p.m. on the 21st at Pavia, with his staff and 5,000 men. At that time a large body of Austrians had en tered Lome Dina. The artillery of the enemy, com prising that remaining at Pavia, consisted of 54 pieces. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, MIIRCH 21.—A1l the reports rela tive to peace, so industriously spread, have proved false. Several frigates have set out for the south. The frigate Thetis sailed yesterday for tl.e north ; she has cast anchor at Helsingoer. The KING de parts to day from Helsingoer for Alsen, from whence he will go to Fredr:ck‘gave, in the Isle of Trione, and afterwards to Jutland. HAMBURGII, MARCH 23.—M. KLEIN, the new Minister from France to the Hanseatic towns, has arrived here. To the hopes, if not of a definitive peace, at least of a prolongation of the armistice, have suc ceeded, during the last two de3s, the tumult of war and the sudden movement of the army of the Germanic empire in the two duchies. By the passages of the Elbe, and by different other points, troops of all arms, provided with ample munitions of war, have entered the duchies to oppose the Danish invasion. The hours of the armistice are counted, and except prevented by some unforeseen cause, the war will be immediately recommenced with more fury than last year. Yesterday General PRITTWITZ arrived here from Berlin. He goes to the duchies to take the command in chief of the troops of the Empire ; 2,000 Prussians are expected to-morrow. We have received this day recent intelligence from Copenhagen, according to which we understand the King of DENMARK vas about to set out for the Isle of Alsen to put himself at the head of his army. According to the latest alvices, the Danish Govern ment, supported in this case by the principal powers of Europe, has decided on maintaining in their en tirety its rights to the duchy of Schleswig. The news is confirmed that a body of 20,000 Prus sians are concentrated on the frontiers of Mecklen burg. Serious troubles have broken out in Strelitz, the capital of Mecklenburg, on occasion of celebrating the anniversary of March last year. The Grand Duke called for the aid of the Prussians, who sent some troops and restored order. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA. Letters from Galatz of the Bth state that the Rus- sians are preparing to evacuate Transylvania and the Danubian Pricipalities. USSIA. The Commander in-Chief of the army in the Cau casus has made an expedition, which lasted from January 30 to February '2O, to clear a passage in the forests on the slope of the Tschetna. This expedition was quite successful, and the Rus sians had the advantage of the mountainc ers in all the engagements which took place. All the other parts of the Caucasus were perfectly quiet at the end of February. ITALY. The news from the seat of war is derived entirely from the correspondents of the Paris papers, as the Piedmontese journals contain little in addition to the meagre accounts which we yesterday quoted from the Piedmontese Gazette. There appears to be little doubt but that ChARLES ALBERT and his generals have been completely out-manoeuvred by RADETZRT, and have been defeated, partially on the 22d, completely on the 23d. We have no details of the battle of the 23d, except those which we have already given in our French correspondence, as the substance of the tele graphic dispatch, received yesterday, by the French Government. _ _ _ With regard to the battle of the 22d, we find the following particulars in the Journal de Debuts:— " The Austrians passed the Tesino on the 20th, be tween Vigevano and Pavia, some hours after the King Charles Albert had crossed the same river six leagues higher up, at Buffalora, upon the Novarra road to Milan. The enemy (the Austrians) then extended his line to the Lomellina, a distlict on the banks of the lower Tesino. The same eveLiticr he occupied the Piedmontese village of Garlasco, with 3,000 men, followed on the next morn ing by an Austrian division of cavalry ; at the same time the Austrians made the false attack already spoken of on the bridge of boats at Mezzsnacorti. These ac counts brought the King and Chrzonowski to the theatre of events. The head-quarters were re moved back from Buffalora and Trecata, upon Vigevano, on the 21st, at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the King went two leagues forward to the village of Slorzesca, in the direction of Garlasco; but the Austrian army continuing to advance, there took place on the same day (the 21st), the two serious en gagements of Vigevano and Mortara, mentioned in the dispatch of Ratazzi, the Piedmontese Minister of the In terior. Here stops the news which may be considered certain. The pretended telegraphic dispatch, which places Radetzky within four leagues of Turin, is evi dently premature; for, let us examine dates and dis tances, supposing it to be true that Radetzky reached the neighbourhood of Verceil the 22d, coming from Mortara; or that, leaving Verceil aside, he may have passed the Tesino lower down, to march on Turin by Villanova, and by the read parallel to the Po. From Sesia to Turin the distance is twenty four leagues ; so that, allowing for the mode in which an army encumbered with baggage must march, he could not have reached Cheavasw, on the Po, within four miles of Turin, before the 25th, and that could not be known in Paris on the 26th. However, the fact must be admitted that Turin is seriously com • promised. The veteran, in taking the determination to carry the war into Piedmont, " has not less than 70,000 men and 120 pieces of cannon with him. He seems to have comprehended that bad he remained on the defen sive, and allowed Charles Albert to occupy a good por tion of Lombard, where he would have found resources of all kinds, he would have allowed his enemy not only to profit by such advantages, but have had to encounter a universal insurrection throughout the Lombardo- Venetian kirgdom. How, it will be asked, had such an invasion been effected in presence of 120,000 men? Alas! the Piedmontese army has allowed itself to be cut in two upon the Tesino, in 1849, as it was cut on the Mincio in 1848, because it allowed its line to be too extended. " The army was disposed with the sole ♦iew of a march in advance of several roads at once, by the Lake Maggiore to gain the country north of Miland, and by Magenta to march direct on Milan; and by the road uf Plaisance and that of Parma and Modena to advance into the region south of the Po. From Voghera, Stra della, and Castel-san-Giovanni, when the right wing was on the road from Plaisance to Novarra, the pivot of the left wing then was a distance of not less than twenty leagues, and the two wings were furthermore separated by that part of the Po which traverses Piedmont. In fine, the extreme left under General Solaroli being posted at Ardua on the lake Maggiore, and the extreme right, under La Marmora, occupying Sarzana, on the Tuscan frontier, it results that the Sardinian army oc cupied a line of 120 leagues." A correspondent of the ; Constitutionnel explains how the surprise was effected : On the 19th a Lombard division, commanded by General Ramorino, whose head-quarters were at Vige vano, bad orders to watch the Tesino and to defend the passage in case the Austrians should attempt to cross. On the 20th, at 5 o'clock in the morning, a corps of 5,000 Austrians appeared before Vigevano. A battalion of GOO Lombard Tirailleurs, commanded by Lucien Ma nora, and composed of the elite of those young Lombard youths who fought so well in 1848, with a second line of reserve, kept the enemy in check for five long hours. Each time the enemy tried to cross, Major Manors, massing his battalions, repelled the attempt. Towards 10 o'clock the Austrian corps, now swelled by degrees to 20,000 men, resumed the offensive, and crossed the river. Major Manora, surprised at the isolation in which he had been left by his chef de division, fell back upon Vigevano, upon another Piedmontese corps—but what was General Ramorino doing all the time? It ap pear. that his movements were so little in accordance with his orders, that he has been put under arrest and will be called before a court-martial." It should not be forgotten that the ignorance, or something worse, of General RAMORINO contributed to the fall of Warsaw, in the Polish war of in dependence. Pavia is in possession of the Piedmontese. The Tuscan journals announce the arrival of CICERONACCIIIO at Florence on the 20th. The Pro visional Government of the Tuscan Republic has ordered a Polish legion of 200 men to be organized. The Duke of MODENA is at Brescello. _ The Aus- ---- _ trian garrison remains in the Citadel of Modena. The following are extracts from the Piedmontese 1 journals. The Nazione of Turin of the 23d says— " Whilst we write, ten P.M., we are told of the arrival -of an estaffette from the camp. announcing that the divisions of the Duke of Genoa (Piedmont and Pinerolo), and those of General Bos (Acqui and Casale), have fallen upon the enemy, defeated him, and made a great many prisoners. This intelligence is also conveyed to us by a letter we have just received by extraordinary means from Vercelli, dated this day, in which it is said that a rumour is current in that town that the Austrians have been beaten on two points."

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE: Tie most lively interest continues to pervade the publie mind with respect to this great aquatic event, the sensa tion having increased since the arrival of the crews in town on Monday last; and Putney—to which place they immediately repaired, with a view of practising over the course chosen for the contest —has been thronged with gentlemen of the universities and their friends, anxious to witness the exertions of the rival crews; added to whom have been many speculators upon such events, desirous of forming an opinion from personal observation of the respective merits of the parties. The Cambridge gentlemen first took a turn ou Monday afternoon, and their exertions were viewed with considerable interest and satisfaction by their friends. The greatest anxiety was then manifested to see the Oxonians, but they, how ever, were not afloat until nearly dusk, owing to their not mustering earlier. In their turn they were very soon at good work, and left but little to find fault with, except that.they could not be so well seen as some wished. They were up and stirring at an early hour yesterday morning, when they repeated their trial against eight picked watermen, who had their work to do. Yes terday evening the Cambridge gentlemen had another turn against a picked watermen's eight, and rowed with great spirit, exhibiting throughout a corre spending first-rate speed, as far as the opinion of good judges could go, with their opponents. So evenly do the gentlemen appear to be matched, that those who have witnessed the exertions of both throughout express contrary opinions as to the probable result of the race. The action of both is not so dissimilar as has been ima gined, both being excellent in their style. They are apparently in good condition, and are fine young men— Cambridge having a very trifling advantage in weight, and possessing " lasting' quality of no ordinary eha rector. Under such circumstances, it is hardly aeces• nary to say that, barring accident, a most gallant race ma} be expected. As regards betting, money has been laid out in so traly odd ways, according to the opinions of the various speculators, that it would be next to use less to give a quotation. As far as we can possibly learn, we should say that upon the general view betting is even, or hlight odds in favour of the Oxonians. The racr, which is appointed for Tbursday next, will be started from Putney-bridge, about five o'clock in the Evening, the distance to be contested being thence to Mortlake—the old course. For the information of the public we beg to state that the rival crews may be dis tinguished by their colours and that of their oar blades —Oxford being purple and Cambridge light blue. STEANL-BOAT EXPLOSION ON TOR RlVER.—Yester day rcorning, about nine o'clock, some alarm prevailed passengers at London Bridge-wharf, in con among the sequence of an explosion on board the Waterman steam boat. No. 8, by which several persons were injui ed. The steamer left Woolwich shor►ly before eight o'clock in the morning, under the charge of Captain Warren, ap parently in good working order, with a fair freight of passengers. The vessel proceeded towards London, stopping at the usual piers, and at the time abovenamed the Waterman reached the London bridge pier, where several persons landed. All then seemed quite safe, but just as the captain gave orders to go ahead a loud ex plosion was heard, which shook the vessel very much. The passengers and crew were at first alarmed, and stood amazed, but the next moment a large body of fire and steam was seen issuing from the engine•room. The cap tain, fearing the lower part of the vessel was on fire, had her made fast, and then immediately adopted steps to release the men who were engaged below, and the engi neer and stoker were found to be much injured. The origin of the occurrence is not yet positively kno , sn, but the engineer informed the reporter that his opinion was, that the tube-plate at the end of the boiler burst, which, consequently, lot out the steam and water on to the fire, which blew off the furnace-doors, and, in a few seccnds, the engine-room was completely filled wtth fire and steam, Wore the unfortunate mu could possibly effect L their escape. . :ITT.
