GREAT FOUR-OARED CUTTER RACE.

The gentlemen of the University of Cambridge who compose
the London Subscription Rooms party, a crew selected from
which won the grand challenge cup at Henley on Wednesday,
had their annual race on Friday evening last, the distance being
as usual, from Westminster to Putney, and the prize silver
medals. The attendance was but indifferent, which may in
some measure be accounted for by its occurring on the same
day as the Royal Thames Yacht contest below bridge, and the
aquatic interest being divided. The following gentlemen had
been drawn together as competitors:—
Names. Colleges. Colours.

roads, where Lilac went slightly in advance, but could not re-
tain the position further than Chandler's, when Pink and Light
Blue were again level, and in this order they went through
Vauxhall-bridge, where Pink was about half a length in ad-
vance
. In the reach Purple came up, and some very spirited
rowing was the result, but in passing under Chelsea-bridge
Green fruled their oars against the starlings, and lost some ad-
vantage. Light Blue had drawn well a-head, and retained
their position throughout, winning easily, but Purple and Green
made a very excellent match from the old church at Battersea
upwards. Purple came in second, and Green third.

TILE LATE EXTRAORDINARY INTREPIDITY OF A
Bov.—Tho extraordinary instance of intrepidity and heroic
conduct of the little boy, Joseph Lague, in saving the life
of another, the particulars relating to which were detailed in
this journal of Thursday last, has been rewarded in a man-
ner which speaks highly for the liberality of the English
public. On Saturday morning Mr. Berkley Westropp, the
Secretary to the Royal Humane Society, waited upon the
authorities of St. Pancras workhouse, to collect the particu-
lars of the ease, with a view to lay it before the Governors
of that Institution, in order that the poor boy may receive
therefrom a suitable reward. The boy and his mother, who
is in the receipt of parochial relief, being a widow with seven
children, was introduced to Mr. Westropp, and he expressed
himself highly pleased pith the poor little fellow's appear-
ance. On Thursday evening, in eonsequi nee of the para-
graph in the newspapers, two gentlemen in a cab called at the
house of Mrs. Lague, No. 4, Oxford-terrace, King's-road, and
presented her with the sum of It. 155., 10?. of which was to go
towards buying the boy some clothes, and ss. to be placed in his
name in the savings' bank. They promised to call again, and
on the mother showing them the book, proving that the deposit
had been made, that they would made it up to something hand •
some. On Friday morning an elderly genih man, in his car-
riage, called at St. Pancras Workhouse, and expressed a great
do-ire to see the boy. He war sent for by the porter, and on
seeing him, the gentleman touk off his glove and shook him
cordially by the hand, and gave him a sovereign, promising to
see him again and do something for him. Another person pre-
sented the mother with lbs. for his use, and in the various
public-houses about Camden-town subscriptions are in course
of being collected.
M. Durar.z.--This- celebrated tenor singer, so long
known at Paris' as the premier sujet of the Grand Opera, is
now in London. Whether he comes with a view to any pro-
,
fessional engagement, or whether his journey hither is merely
for recreation, has not yet positively transpired, but the general
ed froln Antwer, belie fis that he has accepted an engagement with Mr. Charles
Keilible, and that he will make his debut as a singer in the
English language at Covent.garden next season. There is a
