I WWI led yesterday to adduce the silence of the

and caler papers to-day--as the strongest confirms-

ton of the news that Maximilian had run away
from Mexico. 1 find further confirmation in the
tardy speech of the Mouiteur to-day. Resigning
itself at length to make up a paragraph for the
public from the despatches it did not know how to
use yesterday, it passes over altogether the where-
abouts of Maximilian, and says that the absence of
Marshal Bazaine from the city of Mexico when

the mail left " prevented him from sending
the usual periodical report of the political
situation." It proceeds to admit that Colonel
Van der Smissen, the commander of Maxi-
milian's unfortunate Belgian legion, had utterly

THE CIIAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.—Yester-
day afternoon the race for the championship of the Thames
took place from Putney to Mortlake, between Robert
Chambers, of Newcastle, and Joseph Sadler, of l'utney.
The London man has long been looked to a+ the "destined
one " to bold the " blue ribbon of the river" on Kelly's
retirement, but he has suffered defeat apparently from
over-anxiety to hold his lead. Mr. .1. A. Ireland, of the
London Rowing Club, was referee, and there were any
number of steamers with no end of people. The start was
very even, Chambers being on the Middlesex shore. Shortly
after the start Sadler obtained a very trifling lead, which
be held up to the Soap Works. There Chambers evidently
held him, and in trying to pass Hammersmith-bridge to-
gether, Sadler bored Chambers into the bridge, and their
sculls touched. Chambers immediately ceased rowing, and
the proper appeal was made. The Tyne man rowed on
after Sadler, and at the end of the course, the referee
decided iu favour of Chambers.
