THE SOLICITOR-GENERALSHIP OF SCOTLAND.—
Thisioffice, N;tleant
.1;y Mr. David. Mure baying succeeded
Mr. Charles Paillieus Lord Advocate, has been filled up by
the appointment of. Mr. George Patton—an arrangement
to which no objection is likely to be made; on the contrary,
the feeling is that,, all things considered, Mr. Patton's
elevation to a Crown office might have been expected
sooner, and must be held to have comesoutewhat after his
"turn," as fixed by_ professional position.—Scotsman.
THE LATE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.—We have
received several communications with regard to-the late
University boat race,-but it has always been our maxim in
boating matters to q snake no excuses," and; as none of the
letters bear any official authority, we think that the inte-
rests and :the. wishes •of those who were immediately con-
cerned will be •best satisfied by their suppression: • Oxford
soon after the•start•took the lead, and kept it to•the end,
gallantly winning a•race beset with unusual difficulties, and
in the face of . unexampled odds, and we ' do not see the use
of further speculating what might have happened had it
been Otherwise, though, perhaps, it might he
in
to the
meanest capacity that if Cambridge had come in first they
would not have been beaten. The moral of the affair,
though it-will never be applied or admitted in the right
place, is that the rivers of Damascus are not better than the
waters of Israel. One thing is, perhaps, worth mentioning
as deserving of reproof, and in order that it should not be
repeated, and, that is.the unjustifiable delay on the part of
Cambridge before coming to the post, leaving the shivering
Oxonians to tremble in the cold for nearly 20 minutes. It
may have' been accidental, unavoidable; but we have not
heard that it *as so, nor will anything make us believe it.
As fat. as the steamboats are concerned, it is quite evident
that finless. some entirely new plan be hit,upon .to have
them under control, we have seen the last University row-
ing match on the Putney waters,—Bell's Life.
