KING'S COLLEGE BOAT RACES.

The annual boat races amongst the King's College
gentlemen took place yesterday. The sport was to have
consisted of the usual Senior Scullers' Race, for a silver
challenge cup, to be won two years successively, and to
become the permanent property of the holder ; a junior
scullers' race, and a four-oared cutter race, for presenta-
tion prizes ; but owing to the heavy wind which pre-
vailed the four-oared cutters were swamped as they were
being towed to the starting place, and the race to have
been rowed in them was consequently deferred.
SENIOR SCULLERS' RACE. The distance from Putney
to Hammersmith-bridge. Mr. Willoughby, of the
Leander Club, kindly officiated as umpire.
Mr. Walters, jun. (Pink) 1
Mr. Dickson (Orange) 2
Mr. Stavely (Dark Blue) 3
Mr. Tripp (Scarlet) 4
They made a very excellent start altogether, but Mr.
Walters very soon went in front, and, taking the lead,
maintained it throughout. A very spirited race followed
amongst the other three, in the heat of which Mr.
Stavely was fouled by a boat, and was probably by the
accident thrown out of the second place.

Lord Aberdeen's recantation removes nothing, and
amends very little, of what he said a week before. It is
calculated to increase the public impression of his perso-
nal weakness, without dimini--bing the want of confidence
in the Ministry created by the fact of the highest post in
it being filled by the feeblest politician in Europe.
The points in the Premier's reply to Lord Lyndhurst,
which excited such resentment, such mortification, and,
it must be said, such disgust, were these which indicated
the actual state of his opinions on the duties and pros-
pects of the country in the present issue of war, and not
any inferences or speculations as to his share or respon-
sibility in framing the Treaty of Adrianople. It was by
the tone and the evident animus of that most unhappy
speech still more than by its extraordinary statements,
that so much misgiving was raised. We say misgiving,
in preference to using Lord Aberdeen's own term of mis-
apprehension, because we now less than ever can see any
reason to believe that there was, properly speaking, any
misapprehension in the matter. It is clear from the ex-
planation as well as from the original statement—from
the gloss as well as from the text—that Lord Aberdeen

This was a smart race, Macpherson having the best
