Oxroan AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT CLEB.--OXPORD,
WZDSLADAT.—The crew rowed down to Sandford yester-
day, as, in consequence of the strong wind, th were un-
able to go over the long course as was intended. To-day
they have been down to Ifliey and back twice, and to-
morrow they will take their last spell on the Isis, as they
leave for the London water on Friday, where they will
make their appearance on the afternoon of that day. No
change has taken place in the crew, which is now as fol-
lows:—l. Mr. W. P. Bowman, University ; 2. Mr. J. H.
Fish, Worcester; 3. Mr. E. J. Carter. Won:eater ;4. Mr.
W. W. Wood, University ; 5. Mr. J. C. Tinne, University;
6. Mr. F. Crowder, Brasencsie ; 7. Mr. F. Willen,
Exeter ; 8. Mr. It. G. Marsden, Merton. Coxswain,
Mr. C. IL W. Tottenham, Christchurch. The Can-
tab.' are expected to leave on Saturday for Put-
ney. The crews have both improved considerably, and
are reduced in weight by their training to an average
of about 191st. per man. As there will be 10 or 11 days for
practice over the course which they are to row—from
Putney to Mortlake—there will be ample time to cure any
defects under which they may now labour, and according
to the reports of their present condition, and the pains
which have been taken to render them worthy of their
universities, a fine race may be anticipated. They have
had during the past month very severe weather for boat-
ing pursuits, but it has never deterred them from the ordi-
nary practice.
A HL'LL " DOCTRESS " CHARGED WITH MAN-
BLAUGHTTIL—Mary Gardam, shopkeeper, Upper Union-
street, was charged, at Hull, with killing and slaying one
Alice Jaques, a child three years of age. An inquest was
held on the body of the deceased so far back as the 15th
instant, and the death occurred on the Ist of March. The
body had been exhumed and submitted to a post mortem
examination, the result of which was that an opinion was
expressed by the medical man that death had been caused
by a mercurial preparation administered to the deceased.
That preparation was obtained from the accused,
and was given as a remedy for worms, the active, if not
the only ingredient, being calomeL To the doctor the
accused said she weighed the powder and gave a
grain and a half—a proper dose—but the father
says that the powder was measured on a palette knife
point. The result of the inquest was that a verdict was
given that death was occasioned by an irritant poison, by
whom administered the jury were not satisfied. Dr.
Foster now stated that two of the witnesses had shown
him what they considered an equal bulk of the powder to
that which was administered to the deceased. The experi-
ment went to show that the weight of the worm powder
supplied by the prisoner must have been, if the witnesses
were right, between 17 and 20 grains. In answer to Mr.
Afire witness said that the powder was calomel, unmixed
with any other preparation. The smallest dose of calomel
known to have acted fatally was six grains, and he was
of opinion that ten grains must have been exhibited in
the present instance. The child's stomach bore evidence
of having been acted on by some irritant mineral poison.
The accused was committed to take her trial at York
assizes, and left Hull for York immediately on the termi-
nation of the examination before Mr. Travis.—Eastern
Coanties Herald.

ENSIGN CULLEN.—The Jamaica Gleaner of the
Bth inst. announces that Ensign Francis James Cullen was
to leave in the next packet for England, es ranee to the
West Coast of Africa, to join the livid-quarters of the
Ist West India Regiment, to which he is attached.
THE PoET CLOSE'S LATEST PRODUcTION.—The
Carlisle Examiner publishes some selections from a recent
work of the Poet Close, a mixture of prose and verse. The
first poem of any pretensions is that entitled "Our Blne
Coat Boy," composed in memory of Colonel Lowther's
kindness in presenting Poet Cloise's son to Christ's Hos-
pital. A verse may suffice :
Mar God reward the Colonel kind

Who me us such a Num
Whose gladness got hlm In this school
At such an age so none.
Well nuke we love Colonel Lowther's Name,
Long Ufa may be enjoy
Whore Patronage has crowned our Sou,
Made him—a Blue Coat Buy.
The next piece is in honour of" the distinguished Miss Rill,
who bad built a church at her own expense in the village
of Great Ashy." The line pursued will be visible in four
lines :

We link thy name with slotions Mrs. Try.
Whose Virtues live for ever !—never die!
NL• Burdett rotate 0 noble Women Throe!

Nobler hearted ladfiethere moot be.
The following pump is given to show that the poet is an
adept at a certain kind of flattery :—" It was expected
that Mr. Close might hays Dined (at Kirkbythore) with a
certain Parson, who has a living worth 1,0110/. per annum,
hot be chose to remain with Mr. Thom and his dear little
Wife, who welcomed the Poet in their usual hearty style—
s road fever and other dainties graced the table. and, need
we add, no doubt Mr. Thom's famous Black Bottle was
there also! At dinner, the Poet said, " Mr. Thom, lam
afraid yournoose will come alive again, and make a great
noise over all Westmorland p that thousands, when they
ride by Rail, will point out your Rouse, and say, ' That's
the place where poor Poet Close feasted like a Prince of
the Blood, and never enjoyed himself more in his life."' "

AN AMERICAN VIZ;7 OF THE FENTAN MOVE-
MENT.—The Fenian war in Ireland looms up in large pro-
portions in newspaper extras. We have looked through
the despatches from Valenti*, ►nd find that the uprising
so far barely begins to compare in pith or fervour with
what we saw here in the Sixth, Fourteenth, and Nine-
teenth Wade during the conscription riots. At that time
it was a fight with the City Pollee of New York. It is
now • fight with the mewl constabulary of Ireland. Mr.
Kennedy, in our case, did almost single-banded about as
much as • whole squad of Irish loyal constable* seem
equal to in the emergency which hes occurred in the British
Queen's Irish dominions. The wisest thing Lord Derby
could do would be to hurry up his reforms for Ireland—
abolish the state ohureh, as has been done in all the
great British colonies—give the Irish people of the south
a tenant system conformable to modern ideas of civilisa-
tion and reform. If the Queen's ministers neglect this
duty they ought to be tormented by Fenisna. night and
day, till the end of the chapter. The English episoop•l
church in Ireland is • huge and expensive nuisance. All
sensible men know that to be the case. The non-resident
landlords utterly neglect the obligations which the posses.
sines of real estate implies. The Fenian@ are not
likely to remedy this state of things by their uprisings.
But • government professing liberalism which permits
such grievances to fester for generations can expect no
sympathy from intelligent people of any nee or creed.—
