boats.

The University Boat Club (purple)—Messrs. Tuke, stroke ;
3. Watson; 2. hay; 1. Stapylton ; Lewis, coxswain.
The Stip eorge's Boat Club ( white, with red cross)—Messrs.
G. Smith, stroke; 3. T. Ross; 2. W. 111‘Kay ; 1. Wadham ;
Mr. A. Johnson, coxswain.
The St. George's Club were the holders, but despite every
effort, were unable to retain possession of the honorary
distinction. For a few strokes only the crews were together,
but the pulling on either hand was beautiful. The Univer-
sity boat gradually then went in advance, and won by nearly
two lengths.
The District Challenge Cup.
The Windsor and Eton Boat Club (light blue)—Messrs.
M. W. Long, stroke ; 3. G. Dodd ; 2. G. Long ; 1. S. Long ;
James Neate, coxswain.
The Britannia Club, Reading (pink and white)—Messrs,
S. Wheeler, stroke ; 3. T. Atwell ; 2. W. Clayton ; 1. T.
Berris ; Mr. Giles Ayres, coxswain.
Throughout this was a closely contested race, in which it
was difficult to determine which was the better crew. After
rowing half the distance oar and oar, the Windsor crew con-
trived to get the lead, and won by a length.
The Grand Challenge Cup for eight-oared Boats (gentle-
mentamatews)—The Oxford University, as the winners of
last year, were the holders of the cup on the present occasion,
but their names were withdrawn, as we understand there
were many gentlemen rowing in the Etona boat who belonged
to the other Oxford crew; added to which, the period fixed
for this regatta, we believe, was somewhat inconvenient to
many of the Oxonians, who wished to leave town.
The Etona, Oxford (light blue)—Messrs. H. Morgan,
stroke ; 7. Conant ; 6. F. E. Tuke ; 5. F. M. Wilson ; 4.

Spankie ; 3. Stapylton ; 2. Spottiswo-ode ; 1. W. C. Staplyton.
Shadwell, coxswain.
The Caius College, Oxford (blue and white)—Messrs.
Dove, stroke ; 7. Raven ; 6. Forbes ; 5. Laborde ; 4. Ro-
bertson ; 3. Mann ; 2. J. J. White; 1. Carmichael. Egan,
coxswain.

The disparity betweeu the crews was surprising; while

London bankers and Sir Robert Peel:—
, "TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., f
" Lombard-street, June 7, 184;r.
" SIR,—We, the undersigned bankers of London
induced, by the importance of the measure and Our, of
terest in its success, to address you upon the subject
the Bank Charter Bill now before Parliament. first
" We were led to b,lieve, when the measure irairsuf
brought forward, and we feel confideat it was gene 1;',
understood throughout the country, that although it Woe
the intention of her Majesty's Government that ue
paper circulation of the Bank of England in their is:J.
department should be limited to an amount not otuuthe
ing fourteen millions upon securities, yet that in be
event of any particular crisis ari-ing, a power wear
reserved by the Bill enabling the Bank of Engli,
with the consent of the First Lord of the TreaiurY,
hot
Mint, of the Exchequer, and the Master hot
Mint, to extend their issue upon securities beyond t
amount. 1301
" It is with considerable surprise we find that the
now before the House of Commons docs not contain aeellio
provision for an extension of the issue beyond Punt .r.
millions upon securities, excepting under the special cbi,
cumstance named in the sth clause of the Bill noir
fore Parliament.
' "We are apprehensive that the absolute limitation a..f
the issue to fourteen millions, without any power of elf
pansion being reserved, whether that amount be in itsed
a proper amount or not, will create a general feeling._„
uneasiness throughout the country, and by prevail
the satisfactory reception of the measure, will dePrs
the scheme of many of the advantages it possesses' all
interfere with its success.
" We respectfully submit that the effect of such
he
absolute limit ttion will be to restrict the business of the
country by leading to a general withdrawal of legitisule
accommodation, unless some power be reserved by ttio
Bill for extending the issue, with the sanction of be
authorities above alluded to, in cases of emergency, to
made apparent to such authorities.
