the people of Jamaica were perfectly capable of paying the
amount due, and moved to defer the second reading for
three months.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER reminded
the house of the effects of imperial legislation, which had
placed the colony in peculiar difficulties; but while he felt
strongly that Jamaica had a claim to consideration, he
should have thought it his duty, he said, to stand out for
more favourable terms for this country, but for the circum-
stance that the Governor of Jamaica, as the representative
of the Crown, had made a proposal for the remission of the
loan, which had been adopted by the Assembly in a bill
Ho therefore recommended the house to accept a compro-
mise that would insure the disappearance of the Governor's
salary from the estimates.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY hoped the house would take
warning from this transaction, and be cautious in futurein
lending money to colonies.
Mr. CAVE explained the circumstances under which
the payments in discharge of the loan fell into arrear, and
the difficulties encountered by the colony, observing that
there was no chance of the present proceeding being drawn
into a precedent.
The discussion was continued by Mr. Hadfield, Mr.
Scully, Sir M. Farquhar, and Alderman Sidney.
The amendment was negatived, and the bill was read a
second time,

The Divo'rce Court Bill and the Public Office Extension
Bill passed the committee.
The Charity Commissioners' Jurisdiction bill was read a
second time, after a short explanation of its objects by Sir
G. Grey.
LUNACY REGISTRATION BILL.
the house then went into committee upon the Lunacy
Regulation Bill.
Mr. M. SMITH moved amendments of the 3d clause,
with the view of excluding two restrictions, one limiting
the inquiry in lunacy cases to two years from its date; the
other declaring that the opinion of any medical practi-
tioner shall not be admissible as evidence of the insanity of
the party.
Atter much discussion the former amendment was nega-
tived upon a division by 86 to 50; the latter was carried by
72 to 53.

The 7th clause, as to the employment of shorthand
writers, was negatived.
The remaining clauses and certain new clauses were

AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.

Last season, on the death of Mr. Casamajor, Mr. E. D.
Brickwood, of the London Rowing Club, won the Cham-
pionship of the Thames. This year Mr. W. B. Woodgate,
of Brazenose College, Oxford, and Mr. G. R. Cox, of the
London Rowing Club, resolved to contest the distinction
with him. These two gentlemen, in compliance with the
conditions of the match, contended yesterday to ascertain
which should row against Mr. Brickwood on a future day
for the championship. The distance was from Putney to
Mortlake. Fewer persons were at the former place than
might have been expected. Mr. Woodgate seemed to be the
favourite. Mr. John Walmisley, winner of the seul's in
1847, having been appointed umpire, the competitors and
the various gentlemen connected with the match rowed to
their station at a quarter-past 4. Mr. Stephen Salter, the
boatbuilder of Oxford, " coached" Mr. Woodgate, and was
rowed by an eight composed of Oxford University men.
Mr. H. Playford, in the London Rowing Club 12-oared
boat, did the same duty for Mr. Cox. A distinct eight of
the London Club men conveyed the umpire. The compe-
titors started very evenly, but at the second stroke Mr. Cox
began to gain on his opponent. Such was his speed that he
clear himself in 50 yards. At Finch's there were two, and
at Point three clear lengths between him and his opponent.
Perhaps at Craven Mr. Cox had added still more to his lead,
but his exertions were evidently having their effect upon
him. The long, dragging stroke of Mr. Woodgate began
to tell—so much so that he had neared his opponent very
considerably soon after Craven, and before they had reached
the Crabtree had challenged and passed him. From this
point the race was virtually over; Mr. Woodgate coutinued
to increase his lead all the way and won easily by over 100
yards.
