UNIVERSITY BOAT-RACE.

The University Mat-race appointed for Saturday
n,xt, the 27th in•t., is expected to be one of the greatest
matches on record, and is the theme of conversation in
aryintc circles and at the various Cnbs. Those who
have long witnessed rowing upon the Isis declare that a
fi:!e.r U..iversity crew was never seen at Oxford ; and
many who have of late vi-itA Cambridge speak in the
highest t,rnas of the rapid progress of that crew. Since
they I,sve been in the boat, indeed, their advancement
in style is declared to be surprising, and under such
circumstances it is no longer covjectured, as at first by
many, that the odds should be considerably in favour of
Ox`or,l, although they ate still being backed very freely
at something morn than evens. The following are the
crews, but as the weights appended to the Ox.nnians
were taken some days ago, they have probably altered
slightly. Some further difference in that respect will
necessarily occur between now and the day of rowing,
but in thelatne proportion with both.
