OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT RACES.
The annual four-oared races on the Isis, for a silver
cup and medals given by the University Boat Club, was
decided on Wednesday. The trial heats came off on the
two days previous, when St. John's beat Exeter, Baliol
beat Trinity, St. John's beat Baliol, and University beat
St. John's. The final heat between the University crew
and the Oriel crew, the holders of the cup and medals.
caused considerable interest amongst the lovers of aqua-
tic amusements, and the banks of the Isis were thronged
with spectators. The University crew were the favour-
ites, although the Oriel had procured a fine new boat to
row in, tlift`Jrently constructed from the Oxford boats,
being made after the fashion of the Newcastle boats.
The distance was from Offley to Oxford, rather more
than a mile. The University crew went off at a slashing
pace, and although much pressed by the Oriel crew, who
were close upon their stern, maintained the lead through-
out, and won gallantly by two boats' lengths. This is
the third time within four years that the cup has been
won by the University crew. The crew on the present
occasion consisted of Messrs. A. K. Dawson (bow) k
Follett, 2 ; A. Gray, 3 F. C. Walsh (stroke) I C. 11
Shebbeare (coxswain).

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
FELONY.— Wm. Popioy was charged with having
stolen 150 yards of Orleans cloth from the premises of
Messrs. Garrard and Co., linendrapers, Leicester-
square.
Charles Thomas, a porter in the employ of Mr. Bray,
ironmonger, Cranbourne street," said he was passing
through Leicester-square yesterday, when he saw the
prisoner take up a parcel of goods which was standing
inside the doorway of the prosecutor's shop. Suspecting
that the prisoner had no authority to remove the pro-
perty, he went into the shop, and on mentioning what he
had seen, was informed that the prisoner had committed
a robbery. The prisoner was immediately pursued, and
the property was found in his possession.
Mr. Garrard identified the property.
The prisoner, who is a very young man, appeared so
inuoh affected while making his defence, as to induce a
belief that his story was not untrue. He said he was a
sailor, and had been paid off about a month ago from the
Childers, vessel of war, and then he ha.l 100/ in his pos-
session. Having spent all but 251. he came to London
by the train on Wednesday last with that sum in his
pocket. Being a stranger in London he was unfor-
tunately persuaded by a loose woman to accompany her
home. In the morning he found himself stripped of
every farthing of his money, and all his stock of linen,
except what he then had on. Feeling himself quite
reckless he thought the best course for him to take would
be to do something that would ensure his being trans-
ported, and it was with this view that he had laid hold of
the first thing within his reach.
The prisoner was fully committed.
UNION-HALL.
Yesterday Miss Elizabeth Forbes, of Camden-villa,
Peckham, was summoned for refusing to deliver up the
possession of a casket of jewels and some articles of
household furniture, the property of Mr. W. C. Richards,
of Langton-place. Vassall-road, Camberwell.
The complainant stated that a short time since he was
in partnership with Mr. Forbes, at which period he was
paying his addresses to his daughter, and they were to
have been married, the banes having been put up fur
that purpose. In August last the complainant, having
occasion to leave town for Paris, gave Mrs. Forbes 18/,
to purchase some furniture for the house intended for
his bride, and while in Paris his mother gave him a casket
of jewels to present to his wife on his wedding day. On
his return from Paris he found the furniture bad been
bought agreeably to his wishes, and having exhibited
the jewels to Miss Forbes she was much pleased with
their brilliancy, and requested him to let her have them
to show to a young lady, her. cousin. Complainant could
not refuse so reasonable a request, but circumstances
having since occurred to break off the match between
them, he of course applied for the restitution of the jewels
and also the furniture, but he met with a refusal, and was
therefore compelled to have recourse to the pre sent pro-
ceedings to compel her to deliver up his property.
The defendant's solicitor said that the jewels and
also the money for the furniture were the spontw,eons
gift of the complainant to hi client, and he therefore did
not sea that it was compulsory on her part to deliver up
the possession, although the match was broken off be-
tween the parties. The solicitor then proceeded to cross-

bulk consisted, went at 27s tid to 40s, sound micl4rie
red fetched 43s 6d to 445, and low grey 41s to 42s ; 82
bags Grenada fetched 403 to 43s fur sound, and 37s to
4ls per cwt for sea damaged. The market has still a
firm appearance for Foreign Cocoa.

inclined to realise this week, still there has been a good

tention, and 52s to 52s 6d per cwt is the value. Jamaica
