PRUSSIA.

The Kreutz Zeitung says that on the morning of
the 4th the King of Prussia received, in presence of
Gen. de Peucker, 259 cadets who will have to pass
their examination in spring for the grade of officer.
His Majesty dismissed them in the most gracious
terms recommending them to do their duty with
zeal and fidelity.

The Publicist of Berlin states that for some time
extraordinary military measures have been taken
in that capital.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

For the Grand National Steeplechase, the principal
feature was the support given to Brunette ; a fair amount
was done on the other horses quoted ; but The Dane ap-
peared quite friendless. Hubert was backed for both the
Two Thousand Guineas Stakes and the Derby very freely ;
for the latter offers were made to take 23 to 1 in hundreds.
There was little done on the Chester Cup; Agag, Zodiac,
the Vest Colt, and Weasel bad each their friends ; 20 to 1
would have been taken about either of the first two, and
100 to 5 each was taken in one bet against the four. For
the Northamptonshire Stakes, Rapparee was in great force,
but we saw nothing less than 12 to 1 taken.—Closing

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OARED

RACE

Although at each University for some time past the
authorities have been at work endeavouring to piteh upon
the best men to row in the University Race at Easter, it is
not till within the last week that anything at all like deci-
sion has been arrived at. Below we give the names of
those now rowing ; and as time will soon compel a
final choice, and training proper must now begin in earnest,
we shall not look to elee many further changes. We
thought to have given the present weights of the men for
after comparison with the result of five or six weeks' trair-
ing, which, we believe, is a matter of interest with many;
and we accordingly made application to the respective pre-
sidents for the information, but, unfortunately, our letters
most likely miscarried.

The race will be rowed, as usual, from Putney to West-
minster, on Saturday, the 12th of April ; and as we hear
that the price of the steamboats has been most judiciously
raised by the the company, there is great hope that there
will not be so great a number afloat.
