UNITEBSITY EIGHT-OARED BOAT-RACK

THIS DAY.

This nos, one of the molt important events that

Cart agitate the nerves of that portion of the sporting world
whkh takes to the water as a means of getting rid of its
superfluous energies, COMO off this morning, from the well-
known starting-point at Putney. At Mr. Ssarki. wham;
Stengel., two aketuers were moored from an early hour, to
tako off such of the messieurs as resided in town, and they
were soon Med with Oxford and Cambridge men in en-

mistskeablieeettuue, and wearing the colours of their re-
spective champions. The rival IL: rtversities wore cockades
and nakties of graduated blue, the Orford men adopting
the mutest thst, the Carats:dr taking a hoe of lesser
Intensity. As we my suppose that so may
guidance fifth from college would be sot unioindenl
of their elamical rearialsolnem, the stets of the
weather at starting meet have painfully costrasted to their
minds with the opening of a similar areas rioted some
three thousand yaws ago, of wlaelt they had no doubt care-
fully embed the description. However well they might be

" Rosy lustre" does ad often brighten the waters of Old
Thames, and seldom did bis sullen majesty look more opaque
and gloomy then at about half•past nine this moroing, when
the punctual Mr. Searle and by University friends took
water at fibingste•tairs. To say that the sky was
overcharged with clouds would convey but m faint
idea of this uniform gloom of the morning atmosphere.
Tho whole sky was covered with a Metall* of Oxford grey,

The crowd mama' ed tidy of the initiated, and being
mainly a five chilling crowd, Ito gemenl regmetabiliey
may is inhered. Ttnneen Meanies of the river flotilla had
been premed Into the service, and ea we pealed Vauxhall
news arrived that the railway station was besieged with
eager sight-seekers. Cambridge had seemed a private boat,
whose black banner seemed to mime anything but a
triumphant remit for the effints of her sous. The West-
minster boys skimmed rapidly along In their dm gig,
and strove with youtldal ardour to keep up with
the demons of stems, which were moiling and
pulling around them. It was a hard ram, but It was man-
fully contested; and it was undoing to sea how these young
fellows "came up" every time the steamers stopped to take
in pamengers. Of the rester figures In the dais
pugeint, the Oxford and Cambridge wager-boala and
crews, the former were decidedly the favourites.
They had, it Remus, sent to Taylor, of Newcastle,
for their boat, which was flat and full amidships and fine at
head and stern, being a mar approach to the well-known
Clasper model. Both boats were outriggers, but by a pecu-
liarity of arrangement the bow oar In Oxford was on the
wrong side, and its outrigger was of miasmal length, ee as
to bring all the oars in a straight tine. The Cambtidge boat
which had been built by Salter,of Wendserorth,was rather Ana
in the ruidahip section,with comparatively full head and stern,
but both were 'acceding', handsome boa., and calculated to
tart the problem of dieplacemeut under the most favourable
possible elreamstancee. The Oxford men—the picked men
' ' " • ' • • "

Of the Unirersity—had been in careful training for a long
period, sad their friends was most sanguine of their
ancosne. The Cambridge men was also the dills of their
University, bat It was mid that they had not had enough of
training, and that their weight, an mama of ninety-throe
Mons, wee he Itself a decant job to pill though the water. '
However, the "pluck" on both sides wm undoubted, ad the
mine, which wee only " Honey. " the one best cal-
culated to nerve the arms and stimulate the spi-
rits of sixteen young " Gentlemen of England."

The Mart took place at eleven o'clock exactly, amid gaunt
shouts of encouragement from both Mika of the river. Oxfonl
had a little advantage in starting in consequence of Cam-
bridge having got foul of a barge, but front tho moment
that both bests got fairly into the stream, ft war
obvious to livery one that, foul or no foul,
Oxford was to be the winner of the dn's nice.
Nothing, in fact, could exceed the style in which
the Oxford men handled their cers—the long, study
pull, the mechanilal certainty and uniformity of
stroke, or the apparent awe with which they &hot
their long snake-like boat through the water. It
could easily be Ken that they mem psalm
within their strength, and the nonchalant amps with whkh
the coxswain filled his (in this case) Amur* Milos, was

noticed even from the decks of the attendant wassnwes.
Cambridge pulled with immense energy, bat evidently
with lees self-poneselon and skill then their better-trained
opponents. Their friends said that they had cakalatoi on a
windy day, when their " high leathering" would, it was
said, base ensured them as easy victory. But the compilers
of weather almanacs had deceived there—the Thames
wits as smooth as a deck-pond, and almost as dank,
and so the votaries of the "high feather" system were in
anything but high feather in the race. The distance be-
tween light bken and dark blue 'encased at every stroke,
until at the end of some tensity-three minutes or so, Oxford
weed the winning point at Mortlake, the Thames artillery
tired a solute, end a German rarest band on board one of the
easement undo a frantic attempt at " See the conquering hero
comes." It was an easy race, technically speaking a " hol-
low one," won by the Oxford men without effort, but still
ably and honestly contested by their opponents, who,
will no doubt " improve each shining hoar" so that next year
they may regain their wonted superiority. Great interne wee
taken in the race by an exceedingly mamma, body of specta-
tors. The banks of the river presented the xpeetacle of a
moving crowd, home and foot, throughse mach of thereon as
was not obstructed by the inhospitable "No thoroughfare"
that so frequently greets the English pedestrian ; and on the
river was quite a &Whet steamers, covered with peesengree
nearly all of whom wore the ooloars of the academie competitors.
As they approached the railway-bridge, they presented
• rather singular spectacle, coming up in line with ...a.
actness of evolution not always seen at Spithead, and lower-
ing their chimniesaimulteneonsly likealine of soldiers ground-
ing arms. As soon as the race had terminated, the steamers
hove to, and the passengers were grabtled by a sight of the
returning boats, en route for Putney, where victors and van-
quished were about to wash away all remembrances of past
strife in choice champagne, and to promise what wonders
they would achieve when next they met in friendly rivalry
Cou the muddy bones of Old F►ther Thames. The return-
ing boats were of warm eagerly Inspected, and the great den
and apparent weight of the men made people wonder at the
proven which ludgeopelled each Immense machine' through
the water at the rate of oresawhere about fifteen miles an
hour against tide. It was impossible not to admire the fine
muscular development and unfatigned appearance of the
Oxford men; but their opponents also looked well, and
seemed to tear their defeat with commendable resignation.
Their friends whispered that only that "Taylor" had
been to Oxford on a surreptitious training tension,
the laurel would have gone to the Cam in-
stead of the Isis. But ell parties exhibited the best
humour and temper. No blustering Gym "blasphemed the
gods," nor, as far awe could see, was any blundering cox-
main thrown overbcerd for having allowed " Carole= Scylla"
to par him In the race. For the satisfaction of our sporting
readers we subjoin the exact "times."

TIIE PATIN( or HIGH HOLBORN.—The board
of works for the Holborn district have just caused the whole
of the wood pavement between Holborn-bars and Masers
Day and Martin's waning to be removed, and the roadway
inlaid with granite. The granite block. that have been used
to supersede the wood sea from the quarries in the neighbour-
hood of Aberdeen. and an of the description commonly
called "Cubes," With the view of ensuring that the pave
shall be of the moat durable character. a substratum of con-
crete has been put in twelve inches in depth, which is caku-
lated to withstand ammonite of the great traffic to which the
paving will be subjected,and prevent its being worninto holes.
Mr. lessee, the surveyor to the Holborn district board, esti-
mates that no less than 3,000 tons of granite have been em-
ployed in the works, and it is greatly to the credit of the con-
tractors, Mews. Pratt and Sewell, to be enabled to say that
this large quantity of atom has been laid in its place within
twenty working days. In addition to laying the carriage
way, which medal= 6,426 square yards, the centimeters have
LW down 1,600 opera yards of footway paring and re-
dressed 1,200 feet lineal of granite kerb. The works were to
have been completed In gity-six days, under a penalty of
601. per diem for any noses of time, but, by well directed
energy and perseverance on the part of those having charge
of the works, and by a judicious employment of labour, not
only
_have the been avoided, but the works com-
pleted in half trjerlllsal time.
The trade returns of railways in the United
Kingdom for the week ending March 29, amounted to
409,6641., and for the oorresponding period of last year to
400,5361., an increase of 11,0491. The re-

MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocw.

The hinds opened flatly, and a further reduction
was for a time quoted ; but the market has since
become sensibly firmer, aided by the arrivals from
Australia. Prices are now quoted the same as at 4
o'clock yesterday. The other markets are fairly
supported.

Consols, after declining to 931 to L Rave rallied
to 931 to 1, both for money and the Bth inst. India
stock is marked 2221; Exchequer Bills, March, 4s.

Bonds, 1859, 981; and India Bonds, par.
Turkish Six per Cents. have been sold as low as
961, but have since rallied to 971 to 1. Other
foreign stocks arc quiet. The sales include
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. at 99/;
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 65; Ditto Four
per Cent. Certificates at 961 and 961 ex die. ;
Granada Active at 231 ; Peruvian Three

The Great Russian Railway Company, the advent
of which has so long been looked for, has at length
issued its prospectus in l'aris. Out of the total
capital of, say, 45,000,0001. sterling, subscriptions

are invited in the first instance in the ;vinous markets
for 300,000,000 francs, or 12,000,0001. This
first issue will be divided into 600,000 shares of
200 f., or 201. each. The first payment will amount
to 61. per share, and the shares Will be issued "To
bearer." The government guarantees 5 per cent.
upon the capital, but in this is included provision for
a sinking fund. The president ia M. A. Levechine,
Russian privy councillor and senator. The vice-
presidents are Baron Stieglitz and Mr. Thomas
Baring. The rest of the names have previously been
published. The undertaking is to be conducted by
a council of twenty members, of whom nine are to
form a committee in Paris. The calls and interest
are to be payable at St. Petersburg, Paris, London,
Amsterdam, and Berlin. Ten years are to be allowed
for the completion of the whole of the lines,
reckoning from the date of the concession. The con-
cession is to last for 85 years, dating from the com-
pletion of the lines, but the Russian government
reserves to itself the right of purchasing the whole
at the expiration of 30 years from the date of that
document. Such are the main features of this
gigantic project, the weak points of which, includ-
ing the salience of definite information respecting
the probable cost, have already been animadverted
upon. It is stated that the allotment will take place
in Paris on the 28th inst., but nothing has yet tran-
spired relative to the intentions of the promoters of
the undertaking in London.
At Amsterdam Russian stock exhibits a fall of
per cent.

- The rate of discount at Hamburg has receded to
6 per cent.

-The Auatral has arrived in the Downs from Mel-
bourne, but the amount of gold brought by this
vessel remains to be ascertained.

The Sultan has brought about 11,0001. in specie
from the Peninsula.

The exact amount of specie and bullion shipped
onboard the Colombo, which will leave Southampton
for Alexandria to-day, is 788,8841., of which
780,6881. is in silver, and only 7,9981. in gold. The
sum destined for India proper is 455,8351., and for
the three Chinese ports, 289,2231. The particulars
are subjoined, viz.:—For Bombay, silver, 250,3781.;
for Ceylon, gold, 3,0001. ; for Madras, gold, 4,9981.,
and silver, 11,6141. ; for Calcutta, silver, 185,8451.;
for Penang, silver, 12,1091. ; for Singapore, silver,
31,5171. ; for Hong Kong, silver, 121,217/. ; for
Canton, silver, 6,2971. ; and for Sbanghae, silver,
181,7091.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the
principal feature was a considerable advance in the
rate on Hamburg. The quotations on Naples and
Holland were also firmer. Short paper on Paris, how-
ever, presents a further unfavourable movement,
owing to the low rate reported from that city. The
current terms are shown below, viz. :
Amsterdam, threo months, 11 184 to ; ditto, abort, 11.164

The particulars are published of a number of
bonds of the Brazilian Five per Cent. Loan which
have been drawn for redemption, and are to be paid
off on the let of October.
The half-yearly interest is advertised on Panama
Railroad Seven per Cent. Bonds.
The report of Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite relative
to the market for American securities is subjoined :
Business in American securities has been inactive, with
the exception of Illinois CentraL Some large transactions
have taken place in the shares, from 341 to 35 premium ; and
at the close they have been done at 33 ; and Construction
Bonds have been freely dealt in at 901 and 91. We note
small tranmetions in the bondsof the Detroit and Milwaukee
Railroad at our quotations, and a moderate inquiry for New
York Central end Michigan Central Bonds. Michigan
Bentham Sinking Fund Bonds have been done at the lowest
price yet touched in this market ; and confidence in the
management of the line declines daily, owing to the absence
of my official financial report, and the absence of any traffic
returns since December last.
The Emigration Commissioners will receive ten-
ders on the 9th inst. for the hire of ships to convey
emigrants respectively, to Melbourne, Geelong, and

The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Saturday, March 28, compared with the
previous return, shows the following results :
Circulation issue

departments
Seven day and otherbills 696,348 Increase 16,382
The Rest
Note, Is reserve 4,628,120 Demme 852,600
This return presents unmistakable indications of a
tight money market. The increase of a million and
a quarter in the " other securities " attests the seve-
rity of the pressure for accommodation. This item is
now raised to the almost unprecedented sum of
21,242,7321. The decrease of 832,6001. in the reserve
of notes, and of 334,7381. in the bullion, forms a con-
siderable diminution of the Bank's resources, and
accounts for the advance in the rate of discount.
