THE RETURN.

The million was generally dissatisfied : they wanted
Light Blue to win ; and what general cheering there was,
was good•naturedly given to the defeated boat, as it paddled
back along Use southern shore. Oxford kept to its own side
in returning, and was as nearly as possible swamped by
one of those odious and übiquitous little screw tugs which
Nolte the Thames above bridge hideous and perilous.
A brutally mismanaged craft of this description
steamed at full speed past the victors, and sent its
offensive wash right over the gunwales of the Oxford
boat, all but sinking it. The Dark Blu-s were luckily
near their own stern-barge, and got on board it,
for another such experience would have set them
swimming. Nor must we fail to remark that two
conspicuous examples of insubordination were set even
in the upward course, whereby the office of the
umpire was rendered difficult, and the eights endangered,
to say nothing of the discourtesy of pushing before the
steam-vessel which bore the royal standard of England
and carried the son of the Queen.

THE DINNEE.

The crews dined together in the evening, and compli •
meats were passe:l on both sides. The Cambridge
men thanked their coach, Mr. Morrison, an Ox-
ford man, for the way in which he had trained
them. Mr. G. Morrison said he hoped that he 1a 1
done some good a'; Cambridge and laid the foundation of
good rowing there. The Cambridge crew had made t,
good race of it with an untrained No. 7, and if
they had done as much as they had with an
untrained man, what might they not have ex-
pected with one in good condition? Next year Cam-
bridge would have a better pick of men. The Cam, he
could assure them, was not an engaging river to any man,
and to him, an Oxonian, the least engaging of any river
he ever saw. If Cambridge had won, he said, he would
not have offered his services again ; but that not being the
case, he. should, if Oxford did not object, again go to Cam•
bridge (though ho had no wish for six months' hard labour
and coach thc:r crew.

A MoNsTER.— A human monster, a female child
with two heads, was horn a few days ago at Zerhst. A
careful examination has hewn that the spinal column
divides into two at the first of the true vertebra, and that
from this point two perfectly developed necks and heads
proceed. The breast is half as broad again as is usual, the
limbs simple and well formed. We have not yet heard in
how far the internal construction of the breast is simple or
complex. It appears that the child died in the course of
birth, from the pressure of the two heads against each
CORRUPTING MILITARY STUANTS. James
Quintlan, aged IS, of 2, Nelson-street, St. Peter's-square,
hackney, was chared at the Woolwich Police-court,
on Wednesday, under Lord Campbell's Act, with offering
Indecent prints for sale amongst the military students at
Woolwich. The prisoner bad been previously in custody
for offering similar pictures for sale amongst the cadets of
the Royal Military Academy. Henry Somerset fritisald said
one was 17 years of age, and a student at Mr. Mu!caster's
rstablisinnent. The priso.ier, who had been turned of t
f the premises on a previous occasion, cane and shewel
the students a nurnlier of prints, and he ;witness) gave Lin:
•tx book in exchange for one of V:cm. books were
tdacational works, which his father had bought him prior
to his coming to Woolwich. The prints were handed t
the magistrate, who, after turning over a few of them,
spoke in the most unmeasured terms in condemnation p!
the prisoner's conduct in selling prints of that description
to students of 10 or 17 years of ago. Mr. Maude ordered
the prints to b.! retained, with a view of their being
examined more minutely, and if found to come within the
Act of Parliament, he promised him that he should has
effectual punishment, and ordered the prisoner to be
