ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE. ISIS.— OxFonDt
Monday.— The dreadful occurrence of Friday tart, by
which five young persons suddenly met with a watery
grave, has been succeeded by another fatal accident close
on the same spot. The melancholy event took place this
morning between eleven and twelve o'clock, while seve-
ral outriggers or sculling boats were engaged in racing
for the St. John's College silver sculls, which takes place
annually about this time. Mr. William Earle, Com-
moner of St. John's, was one of the competitors on the
occasion ; and, while in the act of contending for the
race, and when about 300 yards from the Isis Tavern,
his boat by some means was upset, and although several
of his friends were soon on the spot, the body, we regret
to say, was not recovered until it was too late to restore
animation. The University Coroner will hold an h -
quest to-morrow. Several rumours are afloat as to the
cause of the accident. In consequence of this melan-
choly affair, the procession of the eight oared racing
boats on the Isis did not take place this evening.
RESIGNATION OF MR. PETO, M.P.—A report vr"
current in Norwich, on Monday, that its excellent re-
presentative, Mr. Peto, was about to vacate his seat,'
and become a candidate for the supposed vacancy in the
representation of the city of London. The loss •of
such a man at Norwich would be felt by all classes
there, and most persons were disinclined to believe in
the report. A meeting of the liberal electors has been
called by their respected leader, Mr. Springfield, for
this (Tuesday) evening, and it is feared the announce-
ment of Mr. Peto's resignation will then be made. The
liberals are on the alert in case there should be a vacancy.
Amongst the many names of candidates mentioned,
Lord Bury and Mr. Henry Birkbeck are the favourites.
