THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY

CUTTER-MATCH.

This match, which has created considerable sensation in the
aquatic circles, has finally been settled to take place on Sa-
turday next, and a number of gentlemen belonging to the
Royal Thames Yacht Club, the Arundel, Leander London
Amateur, and several other Clubs, have signified their inten-
tion of being present to witness the match in the cutters be-
longing to their respective clubs. The distance will be the
same as rowed by the Eton and Westminster scholars, from
Putney-bridge to Mortlake. The Oxford gentlemen have
had a very line boat built by Mr. King, of Oxford ; and the
Messrs. Searle, of Stangate, have built a beautiful 8-oared
cutter, 55 feet in length, for the occasion, for the Cambridge
gentlemen. The following will be found a correct list of the
crews :

Cambridge-1. S. Mann, Caius College; 2. W. Hawkness,
St. John's College; 3. W. Lockhart, Christ's College; 4.
Clowes, Ist Trinity College; 5. M. Arnold, Caius Col!ege ;

College ; 8. F. Fuke, Brasenose (stroke); Richards, Mer-

Betting-5 to 4on Oxford.

SUICIDE.—This morning, at seven o'clock, a gen-
tleman of very respectable appearance, about fifty years of
age, light complexion, and pitted with the small pox, was
found hanging at the foot of his bed, at Wright's coffee-
house, Charing-cross, where he had taken a bed for the night
Previous to his going to bed, he had several cups of coffee,
but was perfectly sober, and of pleasing manners, and had
ordered himself to be called at seven o'clock, but was heard
by the waiter moving in his room at six; but, notwith-
standing, at seven, the waiter knocked at his door, and,
receiving no answer, opened it, when he observed the un-
fortunate gentleman suspended by two handkerchiefs from
the bed-post. The waiter immediately gave an alarm to his
master, who cut him down, and sent for a doctor, when Mr.
M'Cann, surgeon, of Parliament-street, was promptly in
attendance, and attempted to bleed him from the arm and
jugular veins, and applied other resuscitative remedies, but
without effect, as life was extinct. At present no means can
be assigned for so rash an act, as he had between 181. and
19/. in gold and silver in his pocket, but no letter or cr.rd was
found about him to give any clue as to who he may be. His
linen was marked "G. M.," and his stockings " M." His
hat had the maker's name-" Hall, Regent-circus." He
lies at the coffee-house, to await a Coroner's inquest.
RUNNING MATCH ON WATERLOO-BRIDGE.—This
morning the race between Cole of (Jermyn-street) and War-
wick's novice, came off on Waterloo-bridge; the contesting
distance was 200 yards, and the stakes 51. aside ; there were
a good sprinkle of the fancy present. At eight o'clock the
men peeled for the run, and a line being made, at the signal
they bounded away with rapidity ; the novice took the lead
for thirty yards, when his opponent came up and ran with
him for 150 yards, when he again took the lead, and ap-
peared to have winning certain; his opponent made the last
effort for the goal, but without success. The 200 yards of
road was accomplished by the winner in twenty-seven
seconds. In betting Cole was the favourite, and much money
was staked upon him.
It is confidently rumoured that it is her Majesty's
intention to honour with visits all her Lord-Lieutenants of
counties in England. The first royal visit is expected to be
to Hatfield, second, to Warwick Castle. It is also believed
that these royal-progresses will not be confined to England.
