OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.

The Oxford crew have been very regular in their train-
ing since our last notice, their style being much improved,
and more satisfactory to their friends and admirers. Some
parties assert that they are not so well up in form as they
ought to be, and doubt.the lasting qualities of some of the
crow, but still the odds are freely laid on them. Mr. Hen-
ley, who was compelled to leave Oxford in consequence of
the serious illness of anear relation (who is nowmuchbetter)
has resumed his seat as No. 3 in the boat, which is propelled
at the rate of 34 strokes per minute. The crew this after-
noon manned their new boat, rowing as far as Harvey's
Barge and back, and were much pleased with it. The craft
is a splendid specimen of Salter's style of boat-building
with cedar ; the length is 56 feet 2 inches. Mr. Brickwood,
of the London Rowing Club, has paid Oxford a visit, and
seems pleased with their sweeping style, which he, with
many other good judges, thinks is far preferable to the short,
quick stroke of the Cantabs, especially on the Thames
water. We understand Harvey, the Oxford waterman, and
others, have engaged steamers, as usual, to accompany the
race.

THE REPRESENTATION OF NORTH DEVON.—The
lamented death of Mr. Buller, M.P. for the northern
division of Devonshire, has caused some excitement in
i poli-
tical circles. The heads of the Conservative party immedi-
ately met, and it is authoritatively announced that they
have resolved to bring forward Sir G. Stucley Stucley, of
Hartland Abbey, who once made an ineffectual attempt to
represent Exeter in the Conservative interest, and who was
member of Parliament for Barnstaple in 1855. The Liberals
have not yet determined upon a candidate, and it is not
probable that they will do so until after the funeral of Mr.
Buller, which will take place next Tuesday. The names of
Col. Acland and the Hon. Dudley Fortescue have been men-
tioned as probable candidates in the Liberal interest, but we
give this as mere rumour. It may be well to state that at
the last contested election for North Devon the Liberal
candidate, the late Mr. Buller, had a majority over Sir S.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON THE CEYLON RAILWAY.--
A frightful accident has occurred on the railway
line between Colombo and Ragamme. It appears that a
train of six trucks started from Colombo at about half-past
5 on Saturday evening, carrying four of the engineers
(Manning, Harding, Hodges, and Ingram), an overseer
named De Neys, and 128 coolies, mostly Cingalese. Ingrain
resided in a small house near Gonigitotte, about seven miles
from Colombo, and had written in the morning to a native
clerk at Ragamme to bring up some money to Gonegitotto
for the purpose of paying the coolies. The clerk cams from
Ragamme in a trolly or low truck, which was pushed along
the line by coolies. This trolly was left about 800 or 400

fields ; and with the exception of Harding, Manning,
Hodges, and De Nov, and 80 or 40 of the coolies, all the
rest of them, including the engineer (Ingram) were killed.
Most of the trucks were upset into the field, entombing the
poor men who were in them. Harding was on the fourth
truck, and saved himself by literally jumping from truck to
truck, till he was pitched out in the mud out of the reach
of the upsetting trucks. The sight presented by the broken
trucks and dead bodies was fearful. At the arrival of the
general's party the natives were still busy rescuing the
bodies from under the trucks, many of them in a frightfully
mangled state. Hundreds of women, the wives, sisters, and
mothers of the dead and wounded coolies, had surrounded
the spot, and were bewailing their misfortune in a piteous
manner. The. clerk who had so indiscreetly and almost
criminally left the trolly on the line had absconded. A war-
rant has been issued against the clerk on a charge of man-
slaughter. The jury returned the following verdict at the
close of the inquest :—" That the deceased persons came to
their death by the upsetting of the train, caused by itsrun-
ning against a trolly used without authority, and negli-
gently left by the clerk Streeramaloo Naido on the railway
line. The jury beg to recommend that the use of trollies
on the completed lino be discontinued, except under more
stringent rules, and that telegraphic communication bo
opened between stations where the train has begun to run."

in the bazaar, but that imports were firm ; rate of interest
14 per cent.
