THE GREAT GALLEY MATCH BETWEEN THE GENTLEMEN OF
CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD.—The difference between the gen-
tlemen of the Universities, which we stated a few days since,
has not yet been adjusted. The Oxonians arc expected in
town this evening ; the others have been practising during the
last week, and have been initiated by Noulton, certainly a
very good general ; but at the same time they cannot, by the
conditions of their wager, have him as coxswain. Without
any reference to Noulton, it must be admilted that it is a bad
maxim to train with men who go a great deal of money in
wagers ; it is possible that the " telegraph might be worked."
The Oxonians are the favourites at 6 to 4, and at some places
2 to 1 has been given, rather too much odds, considering that
the gentlemen of Cambridge have nearly all new hands in their
boat. The mile and a half proposed is really almost childish,
for they would just leave off when her way was well on her.
As Oxford has been the winner two or three times, there is no
doubt, when the distance is argued, that the gentlemen will
consent to row them their way. There is hardly a shadow et
doubt that, let the distance be arranged as it may, the match
will come off on Friday afternoon. The start is from West-
minster-bridge.
MR. ROBINSON'S MATCH TO GRAVESEND AND BACK.--. 6
the present light south-westerly breeze continues, Mr. Robin-
son will give his notice to-day. It will depend on how the
moon comes in, and if it be as calm as yesterday afternoon he
has some chance of winning.

DENVER (NORFOLK) SHEEP SHOW-

Messrs. T. and J. Brown held their annual show of Leices-
ter tups on Thursday, the 9th inst., when a numerous com-
pany, some from a great distance, assembled—all evidently
pleased and surprised at the perfection to which the intelli-
gence and energy of the Messrs. Brown have carried their fa-
vourite breed of sheep. They were thought in many points
to be superior to those of last year; but the best proof of their
excellence is the eagerness with which they are sought by those
breeding, to whom purity of blood, early aptitude to fatten,.
symmetry, and constitution, are any objects ; and what sheep
farmer does not so consider them ?
We hold these Gentlemen entitled to the thanks, and
worthy the special commendation of the public, for the oppor-
tunity thus afforded of improving the breed of sheep, and that,
too, at a comparatively moderate rate. We speak disinter-
estedly on this point, for we are Southdown, not Leicester,
fanciers ; but, bearing in mind, that there is such a thing 85
combininc, the excellencies of both breeds in the form 8f a
half bred,' a most valuable animal, especially as regards the
article of wool, we cannot help thinking the exertions et
Messrs. Brown highly meritorious. In a general way, far too
little attention is shown to the qualities of the male. Many
seem to think that any sort of tup (so he be but a Leicester),
will answer for crossing. It is a grievous error in judgment--
a perfect sire is as necessary in this case as any other--and
why not ? But to resume our report. After examining the
sheep, both individually and collectively, the party adjourned
to a large tent, in which a sumptuous dinner had been pre-
pared, and nearly forty sat down thereto. Amongst them
were—E. R. Pratt, J. W. Gooch, J. W. Powell, Esq..,
Messrs. Littles, Waddelow, Anderson, Rand, H. Childs, S
Taylor, Paul, Mumford, Garnham, Hunter, Leete, Chester,
Read, Bush, Stanger, Ewen, Burrell, Cottingham,
&c., &c. After a few of the usual toasts had been given "Y
Mr. T. Brown,
E. R. PRATT, Esq., rose, and expressed his high gratifica-
tion (as Mr. Brown's landlord), at being present at so Inrge
and respectable a meeting. It always gave him pleasure t_e
meet the yeomanry, and more especially on such an occasion
as the present, when his own estate was the theatre of improve-
ment, his own tenants the promoters of that improvement;
viz.: the very important one of sheep management. For
himself, he was a Southdown breeder, but he was not the le!s
disposed to appreciate the merits of the Messrs. Brown to
what they had done for their breed, the Leicesters. He el
wished he could beat them—that was all the rivalry he desired
between them. Entertaining these sentiments, he was stets
he should meet the wishes of all present by drinking the het°h9
of their worthy hosts, and success to them.--( Cheers.)
oo
The presence, in good health and spirits, of this " fine he
English Gentleman," added greatly to the interest of t
meeting.
After several other appropriate toasts, the company Bganiii.
adjourned to the sheep-pens, and the business of the day
and
eluded amid the universal satisfaction of both hosts
visitors.
