THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.

Although Wednesday, the Ist of April, has been an
nounced by our sporting contemporaries as the day which
this great aquatic evens will take place, we have authority
for stating that the day has not been fixed. The Cantabs
are using their best endeavours to row on the above-named
day, while the Oxonians are anxious to row on the previous
Friday or Saturday. In the absence of this little hitch
there is nothing likely to occur to mar the interest of the
contest, as both Universities have a reserve of good men in
case of any members of the crews breaking down, which is
frequently the case in hard training. From information
we have received, it would appear the Oxonians have again
the call in weight, although the weights as previously given
do not justify the assumption. Bothbodaets are being
theccaomn:
con-
structed by J. and S. Salter, who will
Cam-
bridge craft to its destination at the beginning of the ensu-
ing week. The Oxford boat is in hardly so forward a state,
but will be ready in time for the requirement& of the Oxon-
ians. The latter is built for 12-stone men, and the font er
for a lighter crew by 61b. Our accounts from both seats of
learning aro highly satisfactory. the Oxonians especially
being full of confidence.

THE BRAZILIAN DIFFICULTY.—Furthe r corre-
spondence, in continuance of that presented to Par-
liament on Feb. 19 and 26, and March 2, was published yes-
terday. In a letter to Lord Howard de Walden, Earl Rus-
sell communicates the fact of the demand made upon the
Brazilian Government on account of the Prince of Wales,
and instructs his lordship to ascertain from M. Rogier if
his Kajesty the King of the Belgians will undertake the
office of arbitrator, as proposed by the Brazilian Govern-
ment. M. Moreira, iu reply to Earl Russell's last letter, con-
plains strongly that the noble earl merely acknowledges
the receipt of the sum claimed, but not the receipt of the
protest which accompanied that payment. He also, at
some length, controverts the justice of the comments of
Earl Russell on the conduct of the Brazilian authorities
and Government. Earl Russell rejoins by formally ac-
knowledgingm. the receipt of the protest referred to.
Rogier, in a letter to Lord Howard de Walden, announcesac-
ceptance i on the part of the King of the Belgians his Majesty's
of the functions of arbitration.
