nual interesting pair-oared races, foz silver oars and
medals, came off on Monday and Tuesday over the old
course. The only entries were Wadbani and Queen's,
the victorious crew having to contend with Balliol, the
holders. Balliol won by eight seconds. The names of
the winning crew are Messrp. Warre and Lonadale, who
rowed ever the course last year.

CHIEF CONSTABLE OF OXFORDSHIRE.-Of the 67 can-
di fates fcr the s'tuation of chief constable of the Oxford-
shire constabulary, three only have been selected by the
committee of magistrates, viz. :—Capt. Richard Bridges
Bellers, captain and acijutont of the Wiltshire Militia ;
Captain Charles Fortunatus Grant, of the 3d Regiment
Bombay army ; Mr. Charles Mostyn Owen, formerly
assistant high commissiocer of the Cape of Good Hope.
Captain Holloway, of the Oxfordshire Militia, will be
also proposed, The election takes place on Friday.
It is stated that the rates have been announced at
which the shares of the Russian railway scheme are to
be issued in the various European markets. At Amster-
dam the share is to represent 236 guilders, equal to
507 f. ; at Berlin it is to be for 134 dollars, equal to 503 f.;
and in London it is to be for 201., equal to 506 f. As the
issue at Paris is to be at the rate of 500 f. per share, an
advantage is thus given to French subscribers over all
others, and the result would be that, the shares might
stand apparently at 6f. or 7f. premium in Paris, although
the sum obtainable for them would be equal only to the
par price at London or Amsterdam.
