The stroke-oar (Mr. Wright), in the Cambridge boat,
only having been selected a day or two since, we are at
present unable to give his weight accurrately. Messrs.
Searles have, as usual, built both boats, and have char-
tered the Waverley and Citizen L to accompany tha
race. The course will, as usual, extend from Mortlake
to Putney ; but owing to its being a very early tide, the
distance will be rowed downwards,

UNITED STATES.—The commercial accounts from the
United. States this week are favourable, since, while they
announce a moderate resumption of specie shipments to
this side (the Andes having brought 42,000/.), they de-
scribe an easy state of the money market, and great
general steadiness in securities of all kinds, considering
the extent of the recent rise. The failure is mentioned
of Read, Clark, and Co., an importing firm, for 70,0001.,
but with a good amount of assets. The seizure of the
American steamer Black Warrior at Havannah for an
alleged breach of Customs' regulations, although not
unlikely to be fomented into a quarrel with Spain that
may end in a contest or Cuba, had not thus far affected
the stock-market.

MURDER AND SUICIDE IN THE REGENT'S-PARK.—Yes-
terday a painful sensation was created throughout the
Regent's-park district of St. Pancras by the discovery
of a most shocking murder and suicide, at 47, Clarence-
gardens. The house was tenanted by James Martin, a
shoemaker, about 57 year of age, who, with his wife,
occupied the parlours, letting the remainder out in lodg-
ings, one of the upper rooms to his married daughter
and her husband. Shortly after eight o'clock yesterday
morning Mrs. Whybrow, Martin's daughter, came down
stairs, and, not finding either her father or mother up
as usual, knocked several times at the front parlour
door, occupied as their bedroom, but, receiving no
answer, she effected an entrance, and then discovered
the place deluged with blood, and the lifeless bodies of
her parents lying across each other on the bed, with their
throats cut in a shocking manner. Her screams imme-
diately brought the other lodgers and neighbours to
her assistance, and it was then discovered that the
murderer and his victim were quite dead and cold. A
shoemaker's knife, covered with blood, wa,4 found on the
bed near the right hand of the former. Both Martin
and his wife were in their ordinary night dress. On
searching the room, a letter, now in the possession of
the police, was found, and identified by the daughter as
being in the handwriting of Martin, stating the circum-
stances which had led him to the commission of so hor-
rible a crime. From this it would appear that Martin
was in very embarrassed circumstances, and that he had
promised to pay his landlord half a year's rent, which
was due him that day, but was unable to do so. He
(Martin) was under an impression that his goods would
be seized, and that he and his wife would have to go to
the workhouse, to prevent which he resorted to this ter-
rible alternative.

LINARES LEAD MINING COMPANY.-At a meeting of
this company, held yesterday, a dividend of 15s. per
share was declared, and the report of the directors was
unanimously carried. It was stated that returns are
steadily increasing, and that the erection of new works,
although requiring some outlay, has greatly facilitated
operations. Recent discoveries have proved satisfactory,
the estimated supply of ore having considerably aug-
mented. Although the amount of profit would have
enabled the directors to declare a larger dividend, they
have refrained from recommending one, the desirableness
of an available cash balance to extend works, if neces-
sary, and to meet promptly any expenditure, being a
consideration of importance at the present juncture.
THE ROYAL DECLARATION OF WAR.—The liberal and
unambiguous terms of the royal declaration of war, as
as
regards the commerce of neutrals, gave great satisfaction
to-day to the commercial community, and especially °to
the merchants engaged in the Russian trade.

[ADVERTISEMENT. J—A LIEUTENANT OF DRAGOONS
CURED OF RHEUMATISM BY. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
AND PILLS.—This officer, who is in the Dutch army,
states that Holloway's Pills and Ointment have cured
him of rheumatism, which appeared to be incurable, as
neither sea-bathing, vapOur-bath.s, nor preparations vaunted
as sure remedies, did him any good, and the treainunt a
the doctor, after several months' trial, was withc.3
cess. At this juncture he commenced taking thee" Pills
and rubbing the Ointment into the complaining parts
twice a day, which effectually cured him in the course of
six weeks. The truth of this statement can be vouched for
by 4r.,J1 B. Stratmap, of.Bois-le-Due.--sold.by
