with any serious consequences.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.
The most lively interest continues to pervade the public
mind with respect to this great aquatic event, the sensa-
tion having increased since the arrival of the crews in
town on Monday last; and Patney—to which place they
immediately repaired, with a view of practising over the
course chosen for the contest —has been thronged with
gentlemen of the universities and their friends, anxious
to witness the exertions of the rival crews; added to
whom have been many speculators upon such events,
desirous of forming an opinion from personal observation
of the respective merits of the parties. The Cambridge
gentlemen first took a turn on Monday afternoon, and
their exertions were viewed with considerable interest
and satisfaction by their friends. The greatest anxiety
was then manifested to see the Oxonians, but they, how-
ever, were not afloat until nearly dusk, owing to their
not mustering earlier. In their turn they were very
soon at good work, and left but little to find fault with,
except that.they could not be so well seen as some wished.
They were up and stirring at an early hour yesterday
morning, when they repeated their trial against eight
picked watermen, who had their work to do. Yes-
terday evening the Cambridge gentlemen had
another turn against a picked watermen's eight, and
rowed with great spirit, exhibiting throughout a corre-
spending first-rate speed, as far as the opinion of good
judges could go, with their opponents. So evenly do
the gentlemen appear to be matched, that those who
have witnessed the exertions of both throughout express
contrary opinions as to the probable result of the race.
'The action of both is not so dissimilar as has been ima-
gined, both being excellent in their style. They are
apparently in good condition, and are fine young men—
Cambridge having a very trifling advantage in weight,
and possessing " lasting" quality of no ordinary cha-
racter. Under such circumstances, it is hardly neces-
sary to say that, barring accident, a most gallant race
may be expected. As regards betting, money has been
laid out in so navy odd ways, according to the opinions
of the various speculators, that it would be next to use-
less to give a quotation. As far as wo can possibly
learn, we should say that upon the general view betting
is even, or slight odds in favour of the Oxonians. The
race, which is appointed for Thursday next, will be
started from Putney-bridge, about five o'clock in the
evening, the distance to be contested being thence to
Mortlake—the old course. For the information of the
public we beg to state that the rival crews may be dis-
tinguished by their colours and that of their oar blades
—Oxford being purple and Cambridge light blue.

steamer left Woolwich shortly before eight o'clock in
the morning, under the charge of Captain Warren, ap-
parently in good working order, with a fair freight of
passengers. The vessel proceeded towards London,
stopping at the usual piers, and at the time abovenamed
the Waterman reached the London-bridge pier, where
several persons landed. All then seemed quite safe, but
just as the captain gave orders to go ahead a loud ex-
plosion was heard, which shook the vessel very much.
The passengers and crew were at first alarmed, and stood
amazed, but the next moment a large body of fire and
steam was seen issuing from the engine-room. The cap-
tain, fearing the lower part of the vessel was on fire, had
her made fast, and then immediately adopted steps to
release the men who were engaged below, and the engi-
neer and stoker were found to be much injured. The
origin of the occurrence is not yet positively known, but
the engineer informed the reporter that his opinion was,
that the tube-plate at the end of the boiler burst, which
consequently, let out the et, am and water on to the fire,'
