A fire, involving a large loss of property, broke
oat last evening at the spacious warehouse of Xesers. Hay-

side of Turn wheel-lane, Can non street, on the site of the pro-

discovery was made shortly before in o'clock, and from
the strong hold which the fire unwed to have on the is-
tenor of the warehouse, it was evident that it must have
been burning some time unnoticed, for almost= the alarm
being raised, the three uppermost floors bunt into Sauna,
causing the greatest consternation in that busy sec ion of
the City. A corps of firemen from the neighbour-
ing brigade station in Watling-street, with several
engines, were soon in attendance, but even by
that time the flames had shot through the net

Usivgasrrr BOAT Rtes.—The usual bustle and
excitement prevails at the Universities of Oxford sad
Cambridge in selecting men from the variona college boats
to form crews for the annual sight-oared cotter race. By a
communisation received from Cambridge last evening we
find that the following men have just been picked ; the
gentlemen not being all tip at Cambridge until Monday to
form their crew :—liteara. E. V. Pigott, Corpus Christi
College ; R. H. Morgan, Emmanuel College ; D. F. Steven-
son. Trinity Hall ; W. W. Hawkins, St. John's College ;
H. Watson, Pembroke College; G. Borthwick, Trusity
College ; J. R. Selwyn, Trinity College ; R. A. Kinglake,
Trinity College ; G. H. Archer (cox.) Corms Christi Col-
lege. Although the above have only been in the boat a day
or two, there is every appearance of Cambridge produciag a
better crew than they had last year, and from the pert-
ficiem7 already exhibited it is more than probable that at
leaat six of the above will retain their pieces to the day of
the race. The material, of a doe crew are being got to-
/ether at Oxford, and we aspect in a day or two to receive a
bet of such oarsmen es will probably, without material
change, form their crew for this interesting event. Toe day
on which the race is to take place is a matter of compiet•
uncertainty at present
