THE GREAT OXFORD AND CAM-
BRIDGE BOAT RACE.
The Cantabs yesterday achieved another victory in one of
the most gallant races on record, and in which the distance
of four miles and nearly a furlong was performed in the al-
most incredibly short period of twenty-one minutes five se-
conds. It was throughout a fine spirit-stirring exhibition,
and the victors and the vanquished alike deserve their meed
of praise, for game and science never surpaned,, and but
rarely equalled. The race, in common with all University
matches, was one of peculiar interest, and thousands de-
pended upon the result laid out at odds, not justified by the
close contest which we have now the pleasure of recording.
The race of last season was decided in favour of the Cam-
bridge crew, and the Oxonians having thrown down the
gauntlet, the challenge was accepted, and both went into ac-
tive training, the Cantabs under the able tuition of Robert
Coombes, the champion of the Thames, and the Oxonians
under that of Noulton, of Lambeth.
The stake was, as usual, " honour," and the following are
the names of the gentlemen who disputed the aquatic supe-
riority of the rival Universities

Betting during the last sew days had been at 5 and 6 to 4
in favour of the Cantabs, so eager, indeed, were many that
they had one even a point further. There was but little
done yesterday, and that at the first-named odds. The
Oxonians came to Putney on Monday, and went to work
without loss of time. The Cambridge party tosk up their
quarters on Tuesday at Aviss's, the Bells, at the same place,
and both had a turn against eights, manned by crack water-
men, to make themselves as competent as possible for the
great struggle.
Four steamers "paddled" up to the scene of action ; the
Childe Harold, with the umpire, C. J. Selwyn, Esq. (Vice-
President of the Thames regatta), and a numerous party of
the elite ; and the Echo, chartered by the Messrs. Searle,
the Waverley, with some Oxford gentlemen, and a large
party of the Westminster scholars, and the Eclipse with com-
pany from Noulton's.
At half-past eleven the crews drew to their stations off
Mortlake to row to Putney-bridge. Both looked in fine con-
dition, and appeared confident. The colours for Oxford were
dark blue, those of Cambridge light blue.
No time was lost in getting away. Mr. E. Searle gave the
signal, and they both took it admirably. Ins moment the
Oxonians' boat's nose was a foot in advance of the other,
but twenty strokes had not been taken by either before they
were level, and one of the most determined struggles
ensued. Cambridge made a desperate spurt, sad got their
head three or four feet in advance, but it was met with a
corresponding effort on the part of the Oxonians, and it was
difficult to determine whether either could be said to have
the lead. Stroke succeeded stroke, and fine long ones too,
with great rapidity; but, despite the most strenuous efforts,
the boats appeared absolutely propelled by the very same
person, and they were almost oar and oar, 'Cambridge hav-
ing the most trifling advantage, and both parties kept at
work as though they had been endowed with super-
natural vigour. The Cantabs passed under the Suspension-
bridge, at Hammersmith, with their opponent's nose about
level with their No. 4, and stimulated by the acclamations
of the assembled thousands, the Oxford party again " put on
the steam," and ere their arrival at the Crab Tree, were again
level with their opponents. So evenly were they matched,
so lasting appeared their powers, even at the extraordinary
pace at which the distance had been rowed, that it was ques-
tionable which would first reach the goal. They both again
pulled as vigorously as though the race had just commenced,
but the Oxonians could not get their boat's nose in front,
and Cambridge, pulling on a final spurt, gradually, when
almost within sight of home, drew away, and won by three
lengths. Putney and Battersea Bridges, and every other
place where a view of any, part of the race could be had,
were covered with spectators, amongst which were a num-
ber of ladies and gentlemen of distinction. The winners
rowed in a beautiful outrigger, built by the eminent Searles,
of Stangate

MR. SMITH O'BRIEN, M.P., AND
THE RAILWAY COMMITTEES.
Oxford and Cambridge Club, Pall-mall,
April 3, 1846.
Sir,—.l hare this morning received a letter, signed
" Henry Creed," by which I am informed that my name i•
on the list from which Members will be selected to serve on
railway committees, which will commence their sittings in
the week beginning Monday, April 27, during which week it
will be necessary that I should be in attendance for the pur-
pose of serving. if required, on a railway committee.
With reference to this communication, I beg to inclose a
copy of a letter, addressed to you as chairman of the Com-
mittee of Selection, upon the occasion of my having received
a similar intimation from Mr. Creed on the 28th of June,
1845.

I have not seen any reason since that letter was written to
change the determination therein expressed. Indeed, the
circumstances under which I attend Parliament during the
present session are such as to render adherence to that deter-
mination an imperative duty.
I have been called over from Ireland at a period when the
deplorable situation of that country requires the presence of
all whose duties connect them with it, for the purpose of re-
sisting a measure by which it is proposed to invade the per-
sonal freedom, and to suspend the constitutional liberties, of
the Irish people. In offering resistance to that measure, it
will be necessary for me to assist in exposing the systematic
misgovernment which has produced those results which fur-
nish a pretext for this renewed attempt to coerce Ireland.
The time and facilities at ray command being limited, I do
not feel myself at liberty to allow my attention to be diverted
from subjects of higher import to matters of local concern,
which do not affect the interests of my country
I must, theretbre, respectfully decline to serve on 4ny com-
mittees on private Bills, except such as relate to Ireland.
I am aware that the House has the power to deprive my
constituents of such humble services as I can render to them,
by impri►oning my person, contrary to law.
I have fully considered, and am prepared to abide that
alternative.
I have the honcur to be your obedient servant,
WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN.
To the Chairman of the Committee of Selection.

LORD LINCOLN AND THE SOUTH NOT.
TINGHAMSHIRE ELECTION.

We understand that the Noble Lord, although defeated at
the last election for the Southern Division, has not forgotten
to thank, in a special manner, such of the electors as, upon
that trying occasion, recorded their votes in his favour. A
letter, of which the following is a copy, has been sent by post
to every elector who voted for the Noble Lord:—
" Whitehall place, Mach 10, 1846.
" Dear Sir,—l request you to accept my warmest thanks
for the support which you gave me by your vote in the late
contest for the reprontation of South Nottinghamshire..
" Although defea in that contest, I shall ever look back
with pleasure upon the many marks of personal kindness
and regard which I experienced, and shall remember with
gratitude the exertions which 1,049 friends made in my be-
half.—l am, dear Sir, yours very faithfully,
—Nottingham Journal. "LINCOLN."

FREEMASONRY.—A grand conclave was held on Friday,
at three o'clock, in the new Temple, Freemasons' Hall, for the pur-
pose of installing Sir Knight Colonel C. K. K. Tynte as the most emi-
nent and supreme Grand Master of the Masonic Knights Templar of
England and Wales. The grand conclave having been duly opened
by the Grand Sub-Prior (Sir Knight Burckhardt), the Grand Direc-
tor of Ceremonies (Sir Knight Crucfiex) mustered the escort, and in-
troduced the Grand Master, who was received with due honours, the
Sir Knights presenting arms as he passed under the canopy of steel.
His Eminence addressed the grand conclave on the occasion, con-
gratulating them on the revival of this exalted branch of the ma-
sonic tree. In the subsequent appointment of grand officers it was
gratifying to observe that honours were conferred upon several pro-
vincial members of the grand conclave. At the banquet In the
grand hall, at which nearly a hundred Sir Knights were present, the
Grand Master took the chair, supported by W. Stuart, Dep. G.M.,
Sir Frederick Fowke, 31,j0r Shute, Michael Furnell (Prov. 0. Com.
for North Monster), W. H. White, Spencer, W. Tucker, J. Ellis,
Cracefix (G.C. Scotland), Goldsworthy, Baumer, Claydon, Gibbins,
Pryer, &c. &c. The gallant Chairman conducted the social duties
with admirable tact; his addresses were pertinent, and gave muck
satisfaction. Sir Knight Crouch and friends contributed greatly to
the pleasure of the day by their tuneful melody, and the arra.nge-

MANY ♦ 'LIP BETWEEN THE CUP AND THE LIP.—
On Tuesday morning last, a young man of the name of William
Ward, was brought before the Mayor, at Lincoln, charged with ob-
taining on the previous day from Mr. Green, merchant, of Lincoln,
a 51. note, under false pretences Ward was, it was said, a few
mouths ago a servant with C6lonel Elmhirst, is whose establishment
was a domestic who won the heart of sweet William, and on Tues-
day morning they were to have been married, but having some dif-
ficulty in raising the needful, and calling to mind the fact that a Mr.
Cottingham, a farmer, near Wragby, occasionally sold wheat to, and
did business with Mr. Green, merchant, of Mark's-lane, he went to
that gentleman with Mr. Cottingham's compliments, and solicited
the loan of a Si note for Mr. Cottingham. Mr. Green having oc-
casional y lent Mr. Cottingham small sums of money, handed the
Al. not to Ward, remarking to him at the same time it was
strange that Mr. Cottingham had not sent a note for the money.
as he had always done before. Ward made sme excuse and
set off with the cash. Soon after he was gone, Mr. Green began ti
think that he had b,eit rather too green in allowing Ward to depart
with the 51. note, and to set the matter right, he mounted his horse
and rode over to Mr. Cottinglunn, and then Mr. Green found that he
had been " done brown." Ward, as soon as he got hold of the
money, began to buy furniture, and sundry articles of dress, in order
to make a dashing turn out the next morning, but in the evening
he was captured and conveyed to the lock-up, Mr. Green, on his re-
turn home, having set a policeman to trace out the unlucky swain.
On examination at the station house, it appeared that the 5/. note
had melted down to 6s. or 75 , and from the pockets of the prisoner
were taken a pair of new white gloves and other articles. instead
of being set at liberty to get married, the man was remanded until
Friday, in order that Mr. Cottingham may be examined, and he will
then most likely be committed for trial.—Lincolnshire Chronicle.
