OXFORD AND CANDRIDGE EIGHT-OARED RACL
Mho Eowl•IR bray settled that this eight-oared race
shall take pkse cm Saturday, March 73, from Putney to
Mortlake, mid as this year the tides are a little more reason.
able then mud, the start need not take place till about
11.30 a.m. ; so that steamboats need not leave London-
bridge till ben o'clock. Accounts speak wall of the prac-
tice and health of both crews, in neither of which have any
materiel alterations been made since our last week's notice.
Indeed, la the Cambridge crew alone has any change been
made, and that arising from Mr. Blake, of Corpus,
who was in last year's crew, being again induced
to row in his old place, No. 4, and Mr. Collins,
of Trinity, being placed at No. 3. It is expected
that both crews will arrive at their usual training quar-
to+ at Putney, on Saturday, March 14, and during the fol-
lowing week plenty of opportunity will be afforded of judg-
iyOheir respective merit..—Bela Life.
THE FATAL ACCIDNNT ON THY LONDON AND
SOCTII WINTER"! RAILWAY. —The adjourned inquiry into
the eases of the death of Dr. Baly was resumed on Satur-
day morning, at the White Hart inn, Merton. Mr. Mark
Huieh, late of the London and North Western Railway,
was celled and stated that the accident could not be attri-
butable to the wheel of the tender, that the train was pro-
perly made, and that a brake van if plated at the tail of
the train might have caused even more injury than bad oc-
eurrod.—Mr. Annie Williams stated that after the evidence
which had been given by Mr. Huiah and Mr. Bova he, on
the part of the friends of Dr. Body, would not give the
court any further trouble. Col. Yolked, the government
inspector, said that he also concurred in the opinion of Mr.
Bovill, that the accident had nothing to do with the tender
wheel Mr. M'Connell and some other witnesses ex.
=hid and the proceedings adjourned.
