authorise the Minister of State to glorify himself for
having led " the country gradually year by year to better

fruitless. It is not to us that M. Rouher, our old colleague
at the Legislative Assembly, would undertake to say

seriously that the coup iretat of the 2nd of December

standing the uncertainty of things, we rely upon the

if these words did not suffice, we would add
those uttered six days before the coup d'aat, on
the 23th November, 1851, to the French exhibitors at
the Universal Exhibition of London in the Salle du Cirque
at Paris :—" Before separating, gentlemen, permit me to

THE OxronD AND CANIBRIDDE BOAT RACE.-
061,011 D, Fluter.—The Oxford crew, after numerous
changes, may now be considered as settled, Mr. Fish, of
Worcester, having been selected to occupy the honourable
snd onerous post of stroke car iu the place of Mr. M.
Brown, of Trinity, who was successful against the " light
blue" on the last two occasions. Mr. W. P. &mouth, the
well-known University pedestrian, after being taken out
of the boat for several days, has now become i.tationary as
bow, but Mr. F. Crowder, of lirrisenose, on. of last year's
crew, has given place to Mr. G. H. Swinny, of Exeter.
The crew, as will be seen from the weights below,
will be s very heavy one, indeed, so touch so that last
year's victorious craft has been found incapable
of carrying the weight, and halter's hare a new
boat on the stocks for the Oxonians as well as the Can-
tata. The rowing of tie men can lordly he judged of at

the chief attsibutes of the whole eight. The following
