UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

There was a large assemblage of gentlemen at
Putney on Saturday afternoon, to view the practice of the
Oxford crew. There war a moat agreeable change in the
weather. and the water, instead of being extremely rough
and " lumpy," as on the previous day, was hardly disturbed by
more than a ripple, but the tide was exceedingly bad, being
retarded by the deeding of land water from up the country.
The crew started at a little before 4 o'clock from nearly
opposite the Star and Garter, and so marked was the ditto..
recce of their rowing compared a a th that of the previous day,
that an ordinary looker-on unacquainted with the difficulties
which mem have to contend against in light craft in vary
rough weather, would scarcely have believed it to have been
the same eight. They, however, made buten indifferent Mart,
but, after a few pulls, settled down WWII better form, and
continued up to Chiswick Church at the rate of thirty-four
strokes per minute, but from theme up to Freak Godirer'r,
at Mortlake, where they mimed labour, they increased the
work to thirty-six, drawing their oars well through the
water, the time occupied baing minutes 34 seconds, as
taken by some of the equestrians who accompanied them up
the towing path. Some irregularity had, on their first
appearance at Putoey, been remarked in the work
on the port side of the boat, which has been
remedied, and the return down to Putney on the
first of the ebb was still an improvement upon therowiag
nix They were more together, and in some of the fresh
Marts gave the utmost astiefaction to their friends, promi-
nent anmaget whom, in superintending or directing their
efforts, was Mr. Monism, who so distinguished himself in
the crew last year. The Cam ble well as the Oxford
crew, will go over the coarse this ridge
(Monday) afternoon, when
we have no doubt theirexertions will be regarded with the
strongest interest. The betting still continues at 7t04 oa
Oxford, but good aquatic judges are taking the odds freely.
lo the afternoon there was also a stroog muster of the
gentlemen of the Landau Rowing Club to open their season,
and three eights, respectively stroked by Marrs. J. C. F.
May, G. Ryan, sod W. N. Cambium, a twelve by F. Fenner,
and the ,•Leviathan,7 by C. Bo dell, were afioat, and pro-
ceeded to Barnes. The dab Manse, as usual, followed at
the Star and Garter.

A notice issued from the General Poet-office
states that no packet will be despatched treat Galway with
mails for America to-morrow (Tuesday).
