?SPURTING INTELLIGINCIL NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. TUE,DAV. THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE DAY. Th e . we e a large influx of visitors this morning, in con. name= of the attractioos of the (limbridgeshire day, for the race is very popular with the local crowds, es well as with the regular racing men. The weather was of a nature to remind the pleasure seekers of the close of the aelosoo, and to urge the adoption of more vigo rous and blood.circulating diversions than acting as spectators of turf conteete. A cold dull morning was suc ceeded by a cheerio= forenoon, which marred the enjoyment of an otherwise brilliant series of encounters. Eleven moss were ran= ioiudioiously crowded into the card besides the monster Camliridgeehire Stake', en arrangement which cre ated great disatisf►ction among those gentlemen who wished for some opportunity for settling or betting prior to moving to the Heath. This was, however, almost impoistihle, for the first race was set as early as tee minutes past eleven, and the last at tee militates past four. Notwithstanding the disagreeable Mate of the weather, there was a very large number of per sons present (for Newmarket), and the Cambridgeshire, the great event of the day, was well worthy the interest it bail **likened. The enormous number of 4:1 hams went to the poet, this being, with only two exceptions, the largest field IS record in English racing, and certainly the largest overseen ca Newmarket-heath. It will be found by the report given below that all the favourites were decisively beaten by Idatbilde, the property of that popular nobleman, Lord iltiesterEeld, who= =mesa was received with the greatest gratification, though defeating the favourites. Bathilde's victory was not altogether unanticipated, as the mare ran very fast for a long way in tbeCesarewitch, and had won her trial on Saturday last at Newmarket. There are no great winners reported ; and, on the whole, we should imagine that the result will be favourable to the bookmaking fraternity. Subjoined are details of the day's Yon POOSTD3, for 2.yr•olds and upwards ; the winner le be sold for 300 soya., kc. Last three miles of B.C. (15 Baba.)

Hilly Grove challeoged Anfield and Oalr.ipplo at the commencement of the rails, but the front pair at the rune time beginning to race home at an increased speed left Hilly Grove and Hampton Court to Mot it oat for third place. A splendid race home between =le and Antield resulted in the victory of Lord West nel's colt by a heed; Hilly Grove a bad third, and Hampton Court, well up, next.

TIRE RACE The forty-three semen were weighed out by Mr. Man ning with marvellous despatch, and considering that this was one of the largest fields that ever started on the English turf, the manner in which the scaling wan .iompletol proved that the arrangements of the e:eile of the scales were most perfect. Mr. li`George, from the large field at the post, bad some difficulty, on account of the fractious ness of some of the horses, in keeping them together ; and Squire Percy was particularly noticed as one of the chief ogenden. At twenty minutes past four—forty minutes after the time apoointed for the race—the flag was lowered to as excellent start ; bit the lateness of the hour, and the consequent murkiness of the heath, prevented us from seeing the colours with any degree of accuracy.

About this time his father died, and left him a small suns of money, which probably had the effect of creating a feeling of independence in the mind of the prisoner, and be made no effort to obtain any other situation, but continued to idle about until all his money was spent, and he was afraid that be got into bad company, end this had placed him in his present position. The Recorder, addressing the prisoner, said that he bad pleaded guilty to no less than four charges of forgery, and it appeared that he had for a considerable time been in the employment of a respectable bank as a clerk, and must have Peen perfectly well aware of the mischief that resulted from such a proceeding, but it was clear that he had evaded himself of the knowledge he had aoquired while so employed to commit thee, offences. He had looked in vain for any circumstances of mitigation, and the nature of his offence was such as entirely precluded him from passing any other than a severe sentence, which was that he be kept in penal servitude for ten years. In the worse of the day several cases were disposed of in which pawnbrokers appeared to have taken in pledge new goods from persons who had stolen them, without making any inquiries, and one or two of them stated that this was their ordinary mode of conducting their business. The Recorder made some strong observations in reference to the proceeding, and said that it Worded great facility for Ulll commission of robberies by sensate employed in whole sale houses, and he directed that none of the pawnbrokers who had so acted should be paid their expenses.

He never lost sight of him, and there was no other person near the shop door when the prisoners left it together. James Townsend, 254 B, said that the prisoners were brought to the station by the prosecutor and wittleas Pratt. Witness was going to search Gilbert, when Ward said, " You needn't search him, he's innocent," and putting his hand into his pocket, took out the watch and case and placed them before the inspector. Gilbert said he heard a cry of " stop thief," and ran to see what was the matter, when the witness Pratt laid hold of him. He knew nothing of Ward, and never saw him before. Ward laid Gilbert was innocent. They were fully committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. A young wellAreesed fellow, who gave the tame of Ed ward IValch, was brought before Mr. Bonham, c harged with stealing a sovereign and a 'half from the person of Mrs. Elizabeth Bryant, on the arrival platform of the South- Eastern Railway, London-bridge. The prosecutriz, an elderly lady residing at Staplehurst, io Kent, acid that on Monday afternoon she arrived at the London-bridge Terminus from home. She had, when she got out of the carnage, a purse in Imrdress pocket contain ing a sovereign and 10a. in silver. While standing on the arrival platform waiting for her luggage an otticer came up to her and asked her to feel in her pocket and see whether she had lost anything. She searched, and immediately missed her purse and contents. She identified the purse produced as her property. Sergeant Scannel, a detective officer, specially employed at the South Eastern Railway Terminus, said be saw the prisoner leave the proeecutriz and hurriedly pass out of their station towards the Brighton Terminus. He took him into custody, and the purse belonging to the prose matrix was picked up near the spot and handed to witness. The lady identified it and the contents as her property. Ow searching the prisoner's clothes he found boles io each pocket of his coat (nearly a new one), which enabled him to carry on his depredations unseen. In his pockets wit ness found 24 4s. 9d. in silver, all of which he believed the prhooer had stolen from ladies on the platform. Witness asked fur a remand, to give him au opportunity of making further inquiries. The prisoner, who did not deny stealing Mrs. Bryant's wee, but declared that the money found on him belonged to him, was remanded for a week. - - METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. An extraordinary meeting of the board was held yesterday in the board-room, Spring-gardens; Mr. THWARTS presided. The wembers wit for some time with closed doors. THIC THAHFS IMBANKMENT. When the doors were opened, Mr. Lx BRETON was speaking in reference to a suggestion in the engineer's report, that the etuhaukment on the northern side of the neer should be extended out to the second pier of Waterloo-bridge, instead of to the first pier of that bridge, u authorised by the act of parliament. He moved *that the solicitor should report to the board what steps were necessary to'extenal the embankment out to the w condi pier, according to the suggestion in Mr. Bazelgette's _ _ _ The following paragraph in Mr. Bazalgette's report, re ferred to by Mr. Le Breton, was read by the clot* :—" The tidal water, in passing through London and Southwark bridges. flows with sufficient velocity to keep the channel of this pc rtion of the river free from deposit; but when allowed to expand stud spread itself over nearly double the width of river, as it will do at Waterloo-bridge, the velocity of the stream is decreased, and a partial and contracted channel for navigation is formed in the north bend of the river, and banks and shoals are deposited on the south aide. This will continue to be the case after the embankment is formed, and these evils might have been much reduced had the em buikinent been extended out to the second instead of to the first pier of Waterloo-bridge." The motion having been seconded, The SOLICITOR of the board said they must give the usual parliamentary notice if the proposed alteration would affect the rights of any person. Mr. ROBINSON opposed the motion, because if they adopted the proposition of the mover, the works would be delayed, and they would probably have to face an opposi tion in parliament similar to that already offered to the project. The Sordcrmii said there could be no doubt that if they extended the embankment as proposed, every person poi seeming rights on the !bore must have notice. A diacasion ensued, duriug which it appeared that the majority of the members were opposed to Mr. Le Breton's proposition. and the motion was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. CARPMAT.L moved that it be an instruction to the engineer to prepare plans and specifications for the execu tion of the works for constructing the embankment on the north side of the Thames according to tie Marcel Embank ment Art. ldr. NnrroN moved an amendment that it should be referred to a committee of the whole board to consider the suggestions in the engineer'areport, previous to the eLgioeer taking any farther steps. After further discussion tho amendment was carried, and the board resolved itself into committee, and the subse quent prooeedinp were conducted with closed doors.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Leopold &hake, 39, a German, stated in the calendar to be an agent, was charged with obtaining 640 yard, of woollen cloth by false pretences ; and in a second count of the indictment the prisoner was charged jointly with an other person named Henry Cowan, with conspiring together fraudulently to obtain possession of the mine property. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the pro secution ; Mr. Ribton was counsel for the defence. The prosecutors of this indictment were the Tees Woollen Company, who carry on their business at Barnard Castle, Durham, and who have an agency in London, in Iron monger-lane, in the City. It appeared that wan, the person included in the indictment with the prisoner, who, there was no doubt, was the prime mover in the affair, and ' who, it was stated, has absconded from this country, occu pied a small office in Union-court, Old Broad-street, where he ostensibly carried on the occupation of an im. porter of foreign goods, and that the prisoner was emyloyed by him in the capacity of a clerk. At the commencement of the present year it seemed that Cowan entered into some negotiation with the agent of the prosecutors for the purchase of their goods, and a quantity of cloth was supplied to him at different periods ; but the transac tions that were the subject of inquiry took place between the Ist and the 14th of August. It appeared that Cowan bad applied to the prosecutors for certain goods at this period, and that a quantity of cloth was sent to him, the invoiced price of which was 5041. 12s. 2d., and upon the prosecutor,' pressing for money to be paid on account, Cowan gave them 1601. in two payments, and be also pro mised, with reference to the last parcel of goods. to hand over the receipt of the packer for them, which they were to hold until more money was paid on moonlit. Cowan did subsequently give to Mr. Walker, the manager of the company, what purported to be the receipt of persona carrying on the business of packers in Jewio-street, but which turned out to be a fictitious document; and it was proved that on the very day when the receipt referred to was given, the prisoner had applied to Mr. Venables, • woollendrayer in Aldgate, to purchase a quantity of woollen cloth, which be said belonged to a shipper who was premed for money. The result of this application of the prisoner was that Mr. Venables purchased the property that bad been sent to Cowan by the prosecutors, at a discount of 35 per cent upon the price at which the goods had been invoiced. The prisoner appeared to have been present when several of the circumstances took place between Cowan and Mr. Walker, and this appeared to be the only evidence agsiost him, with this additional fact, that when he was taken into custody by Funnell, one of the City detectives, and he was asked what had become of the property that had been obtained by Cowan from the prosecutors, he made the false statement that he knew nothing about it. and he supposed that it was shipped abroad as it was intended to be. In the course of the case some observations were made by Mr. Metcalfe of a disparaging character in reference to the conduct of Mr. Venable' in purchasing the goods that bad been obtained under the circumstances above stated, at so greet a reduction from the price at which they had been originally invoiced ; but that gentleman, in his evidence, stated that it was I very common practice for persons in trade, who were pressed for money, to dispose of property very much under its value. He also said that with refer ence to the particular parcels of goods that he had pur chased from Cowan, lie had paid the full market value of them, and that be had himself purchased woollen cloth of the same description from the prosecutor, themselves, at even a less price than he had paid Cowan. Mr. Ribton, at the close of the case for the prisoner, submitted that there was no evidence to support the charge against the prisoner. He would not say anything in reference to the share Cowan appeared to have taken in the transaction, but all the prisoner was proved to have done was nothing more than he was justified in doing as his clerk, and there was nothing) to show that he had any guilty knowledge in the transaction. The Recorder said it appeared to him that if there was any case at all in reference to the charge of conspiracy, it was certainly a very weak one, and that there was no evi dence whatever to support the charge of obtaining the goods in question by Übe pretences. The jury appeared to be of the same opinion that had been expressed by his lordship, and they, therefore, without troubling Mr. Ribton to address them on behalf of the pri soner, returned a verdict of Not guilty. Frederick Godwin, 30, clerk, and Joseph Burgoyne, 37, ehopmao, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing 1,150 yards of silk, value 250/., the property of Henry Tucker and others. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Edward Beeley were instructed to prosecute in this case on behalf of the Great Northern Rail way Company , . Mr. Sleigh appeared forthe prisoner Godwia ; the other prisoner was undefended. Mr. Cooper informed the oourt that the prisoner Godwin was employed as the principal clerk at a booking office belonging to Mr. Fenian, in Gresham-street, and the other prisoner was his brother-io-law, but be was not employed in the same establishment. On the 23rd of August, it appeared that Medan. Baker, Tucker, and Co., silk ware. houseroom io Gresham-street, sent a package of silk to Mr. Farriers gooking-offios, to be transmitted to Means. Phil lippe and Co., of Manchester, by the Great Northern Rail way, and the prisoner Godwin took possession of this package, and nothing more was heard of it afterwards. until it was ascertained that Burgoyne had pawned a portion of its contents at different pawnbroker,. There was this cir cumstance of aggravation in the case of Godwin, that it ' appeared he had induced the carman who cotveyed away the different packages from the booking-office on the day in question to sign a receipt for twenty-oue parcels, while he contrived to keep back the package containing the silk, so that in the first instance suspicion was thrown upon the carman, who was entirely inooceut. Mr. Sleigh addressed the court on behalf of Godwin in mitigation of punishment, sod he urged that his character had formerly beenunimpeachable, and that this was the first time he had ever been charged with any offence. ' The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that the offence of the prisoner Godwin was a very bad one. He was in a position of trust end confidence, and had the charge of pro perty to an enormous amount passing through his hands, and he bad abused the confidence that was reposed iu him, and had stolen property of considerable value. There woe also this additional aggravation in his co , duct, that he had attempted to throw blame upon an innocent map by in ducing him to sign a receipt for a huger number of packages than he had actually received, and, under all the circum stances, he felt himself compelled to sentence him to three years' penal servitude. With regard to the other prisoner, it appeared that he had previously borne a very good cha racter, and all he appeared to have done was to dispose of the property after it had been stolen by his companion, and his case was, therefore. a very different one, and the mu tancelisiciiirldni would be nine months' imprisonment and hard George Pearson, 27, a young man of gentlemanly appear. ance, pleaded guilty to a charge of uttering a bill of exchange for 85!. 15s. _ _ He was also charged with uttering two forged orders for the payment of 2011/. each, and likewise with uttering two forged 101. Bank of England motes, knowing them to have been forged ; sod to these charges the prisoner also pleaded guilty. Mr. Sleigh who, with Mr. Ciffard, was instructed to pro secute on behalf of the Bankers' Association for the Pre vention of Forgery and Fraud, informed the court that the prisoner was very respectably connected, and be had for merly been in the service of Mans. Willis, Feroevall, and Co., the banker,, and he believed had conducted himself properly while in that service. The charges against him were that in the first instaoce he succeeded in getting cash for • forged bill of exchange for 85!. 15e., and that after that he attempted to pas. two forged cheque. for 20W. each, but was not succesaful in either case. With regard to the charges of uttering the forged Bank of England notes, although be was not instructed in those cases. he might inform his lordship that the prisoner went to the London and County Bank and paid in two forged 10/. Bank notes, asking for • letter of credit upon • bank at Windsor, but the forgery was detected, and the prisoner was apprehended upon his making application at the bankers at Windsor for the money. Mr. Taylor, who appeared for the prisoner, said he was instructed by his friends to say • few words on his behalf, and the case was one undoubtedly of a most melancholy character. He could not deny that the prisoner bad en tered upon a most formidable career of crime, hut he belted to induce his lordship to believe that it was but the com mencement of • career. and that if be were dealt with leniently, he might still be able to retrieve his character. The prisoner was most respectably connected, his father was forty years employed in the Bank of England, and the prisoner himself was for six years in the serviced Moors.

The prisoner, a gentlemanly but very poorly dressed young man, appeared to be partially demented, and refused to give any account of himself. The Common Serjeaot said it appeared from the deposi tions that the prisoner had committed the act bemuse he was in distress, and he sentenced him to 18 months' impri sonment. John Wilson, 19, and Charles Ellis, 20, labourers, also pleaded guilty to setting fire to a stack of hay, the property of Charles Cummerson. They were sentenosd to 18 months' imprisonment. __ i'liontas Evans 39, agent, vu indicted for stealing • quantity of rope , property of the London Ropery Com pany. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Orridge prosecuted, and Mr. Lilley defended. The facte of the case were almost destitute of public in- tercet, and have been already published on the occasion of the trial of other parties implicated in the same transaction, and who were tried and convicted at the April sessions of this court. On that oocuion two men, named Bassett and Stokes, in the employ of the London Ropery Company, carrying on their business at Rotherhithe, and Kempster, • carman and chandler's shop keeper, were convicted, the two first accused of stealing, and Reminder of receiving with • guilty knowledge, several tons of rope, the property of the prosecutors. The prisoner now on trial was included in that indictment, but hail absconded, but after some absence be had returned to his abode, when he was taken into custody, and was now pat on his trial on the charge. The evidence disclosed that after the rope had been stolen, it was brought to and deposited in Kemp ster's stables. To show the prisoner's complicity in the transaction, it was now proved that the prison... Evans brought several persons to view the property, al aging himself to be the owner, and that he had actually sold some of the rope in different (quarters, and had re ceived the money for it ; and further, that he bad paid one man the sum of 19s. as • commission for bringing a customer. Mr. Lilley addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, urging the absence of any satisfactory proof of a guilty knowledge on his part; and further contending that the part he bad taken in the matter was consistent with the holiest prosecution of his business of a commission agent. The learned counsel called several respectable witnesses, who gave the prisoner an excellent character for honesty and straightforward conduct as a man of business. The Common Serjeant summed up the evidence with great care and minuteness, and the jury, after an absentia of 20 minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The Common Serjeant—You had better be careful for the future ; there is an officer here who can prove a former con. victims against you. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. Dr. Henry Scott, of U, Upper Woburn-place, waited on Mr. Dorris to apply for advice as to how he could put a stop to a gross deception carried on under the guise of his name. A person named Scott who bad formerly been summoned to this court littler the Medical Protection Act, was advertising in some of the daily papers as follows :—" Dr. Scott attends and corresponds confidentially iu midwifery, pregnancy, and other private cases. He has had thirty years' practice.- 17, Adametreet, Strand, London." 1U applicant c►lled attention to an editorial article in the Medical Time', pointing out the impropriety of this advertisement, and its illegal and immoral tendency. The editor proceeded to ob serve that he IDr. Henry Scott) could never be confounded by the profession with the author of that advertisement. Now he admitted that to be quite true, but though the pro fession were not misled, the public were, sod he found that he was frequently mistaken for the pretended " Dr." Mr. Cowie—l should not have thought so. You see you are not in the same parish. Dr. Henry Scott—No, sir ; but people who know my ad dress frequently ask me if I have not a place in Adam street. — Mr. Colrie—But there are other Dr. Scotts. Dr. Henry Scott—No doubt. But lam the only Dr. Henry Scott, M.D. Mr.' Corrille does not say Dr. Henry Scott. Dr. Henry Scott —Not in that advertisement ; but he is so described io the Directories, both at 17, Adam-street, and at his country residence, West-hill, Wandsworth. The other day I received a lawyer', letter, claiming payment of 151. for a year and a halfs rent of West-bill, the lawyer having evidently supposed that I was his tenant. Cannot anything be done to atop his calling himself "Dr."? He has no degree or diploma. Mr. Corrie—Prosecute him under the Medical Act, if you think he is breaking the law. Dr. Henry Soottf-He has been prosecuted with no remit. The Medical Act is a dead letter. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, rid that prosecution failed because at that time no actual registry, on which e practi tioner's name could be entered, had been kept at the registry office. The prosecution was instituted by the Medical Pro tection Association. Dr. Henry Scott said the association had taken no far ther steps. Mr. Conte—Then what are they called a "Protection As sociation" for, if they don't take up such cases ? I should think that probably a proper register is kept now, and if so, I don't see why they should not try it again. I advise you to apply to the society. Dr. Scott was much obliged for his worship's patient hearing and advice. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Runt, a tall and powerful licensed drover, badge 34, was charged before Mr. (,c oke with the following act of cruelty. Francis, an of attached to the Society for the Preven tion of C ruelty to Animals, Mid—About six o'clock last even ing I was in the Hackney-road, and noticed the defendant driving eight head of cattle. They turned down Great Cambridge-street, and stopped in oppareot exhaustion to drink from a water-trough opposite the Acorn public-house. Directly defendant perceived this be commenced beating the oxen with the thick end of his drover's stick ; it was • repeated and indiscriminate beating over every part of them. Two of the beasts sank on their haunches in consequence of it, and even when they had left the trough and turned into an adjoining street the same cruelty was practised. Two per iwig, one of whom is present, expostulated, and then, fear ing that defendant, from his menacing attitude, was about to strike them, I stepped in between and took him into cus tody. He refused at that time to show his license, and I doubted his having one, for eight out of ten of these men are without. _ _ Thomas Courtney, of High-street. Hoxton, corroborated the officer's testimony in every particular, and added, " told defendant that he ought to be ashamed of himself, and begged him to be merciful towards the beasts." To which he replied, "If you had bad as much trouble as have with the thing,' you would do as I do." Francis—With respect to that matter, I can say this—l drove the beasts to the place of their destination, a long dis tance, easily with my own stick. Mr. Cooke--Where had they come from? Defendant—From Blackwell, sir. I certainly did beat one of them that had been difficult to deal with ; and if I have done wrong, am very sorry. I was not abusive, and never did wrong before, so I hope you will be merciful for the sake of my wife and young child. Mr. Cooke—lt is a common practice of drovers to ill-use cattle they are in charge of. They appear to be without feeling for them. This is clearly a very disgraceful care against you. and bad it been ■hove that a former complaint of she kind bad been preferred, I would h►ve punished you by inflicting the heaviest penalty. You will now pay We., or suffer in default an imprisonment of 21 days. WESTMINSTER. James Ward and Robert Gilbert were finally examined, charged with the following daring robbery. Mr. William Gibbs, of 13, Chester-terrace, Eaton square, watchmaker, said that at • quarter-past six on the even ing of the 23rd instant, Ward, after looking in at the window, entered his shop, and asked if he had a gold watch at about 10 guinea.. Prosecutor showed him one at 15 guineas, sod prisoner looked at it, but did not my any and prosecutor, concluding from his meaner that the price was too high, handed him the gold case of • watch not complete, and told him that that would be 12 guineas, and could be completed in a week if chosen. Prisoner held the cams in one hand and the watch in the other, and appeared to be measuring and comparing them. He then observed, "Oh, this one will he 12 guineas," at the same moment giving • look to wards the shop door, and prosecutor saw a man looking in. Instantly that person evidently thrust the door open, and Ward rushed out of the shop with the watch and watchcase. Prosecutor ran to the door and cried "Stop thief," sod both the men ran together from the shop, followed by the prosecutor and a neighbour.

Mary Ann Taylor, a young woman, of No. 3, Frederick street, part of that notorious district called Ti ger B a y, St. George's-in-the-Vast, was brought before Mr. Safe, charged with committing a murderous assault on Margaret Lovell, who presented herself in the witness box with her head enveloped in surgical bandages, and as pale as a spectre. She had lost a large quantity of blood, and produced the clothes she was wearing at the time she was The complainant said she lived at No. 6, Frederick street, be.ter known as Tiger Bay. Atlo o'clock on Monday night she wag in her own room, and the pi:soner, some other girls, and a few Yankee sailors, were there. The pri soner, who had had a drop too much, was very quarrelsome, and struck a girl with her fist. She begged of the prisoner to leave the room and go to bed. The prisoner, rust -d of doing so, beat her. A disturbance ensued and she got the prisoner down stairs and said, "Let us settle this to morrow." The prisoner agreed, and it was arranged to fight out the matter that day. She was leaving tl e prisoner, who came up stealthily behind her and struck her several blows on the back of the had with a sharp instr•- me•t. She fell, and was in "gorse of blood," and was carried to the London Hospital. When she came back the prisoner wanted to beat her again, and was prevented. The Prisoner—Did you not strike me with a jug? Witnees—No. The Prisoner—Did you not beat the Yankee sailor with • poker ? Witness—No. Johanna Burke, of Tiger Bay, said that she yaw the pi soner seize Margaret Lovell by the hair of the head, beat her with a jug, and inflict several wounds. The Prisoner-1 struck her once with it—only once. My blood was up. It was done in the heat of blood. Three men ' had me down and ware beating me. Mr. Stlfe said that some very shocking outrages bad been committed in Brunswick•street and Frederick-street, a dis trict known as Tiger Bay, and when such dangerous weapons as earthenwarejup were used. he should punish with severity. He sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment end hard labour. HAMMERSMITH. Mary Saunders, a well-dressed young woman, enveloped in a large silk mantle, was brought before Mr. Ingham on remand, charged with stealing a purse and its contents from the pocket of Mrs. Elise Ann Harwoad, of St. Clement's Church-yard, while riding in an omnibus to the Exhibition on the afternoon of the 21st inst. The prisoner and another female, who pve the name of Mary Lewis. entered the omnibus belonging to Mr. Hughes of Notting-hill, at the top of the Haymarket, and they took theirsesta between the prosecutrix and the door, the prisoner being near to the lady, and on the side of her pocket in her dress. Freeman, the conductor, entertained suspicions of their intentions, and as they proceeded on their journey he watched them. He saw the prisoner place her mantle over Mrs. Harwood's dress, and of ter they bad passed Sloane-street he obeervei a movement as of the band under the mantle. On reaching the Exhibition-road, Lewis and Mrs. Harwood alighted, upon which the conductor shut the door, and prevented the prisoner from getting out. He then asked the prosecutnx whether she bad lost anythin& and on feeling her pocket she Mood her purse gone. Recalled police-constable Seymour, of the X division, and the pri soner alighted. She then told them to look inside the omnibus, and on their doing so Mrs. Harwood's pure wu found lying at the bottom, close to where the prisoner bad been sitting. The prisoner and Lewis were taken into ems tody, and were afterwards remanded ; the latter only until the following day, when she was discharged, as it was found that her address was quite correct. Both the females de. dared they were innocent, and that they were respectable persona. On the first examioation the magistrate inquired of the prosecutrix whether she bad coy bole in her pocket by which the purse could have fallen out, and she answered in the negative, but she appeared very much anpriatil on raising her dress and showing her pocket, to find a large alit to the extent of three inches at the bottom of it. She stated positively that there was no hole in her pocket when she left home, and she also said that it was not an old dma. A small penknife was produced, and the constable Mated that it wee found upon the prisoner. Sergeant Cole, No. 23, Cdivision, now stated that he knew the prisoner as a companion of thieves, and he had seen her out with thieves, and had watched her repeatedly. Be also said he knew the other woman who was discharged as well as his own father. Mr. Lewis. jun., who defended the prisoner, at first sub mitted that the evidence was very weak, and asked for an acquittal, but on finding his worship icteoded to send her for trial he pleaded for a sumreary conviction. Mr. Ingham at first refused, but at the solicitation of Mrs Harwood, and it appearing doubtful whether there bud been any previous conviction he consented to deal with the case. The prisoner then pleaded guilty, and she was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. TRICKS OF UNDERTAKER/I.—Last eveniniD ue r.. Lankester held an inquest at the King's Anna, Castle street, Long-acre, on the body of a newly-born male infant.. The evidence adduced went to show that on the night of Thursday lest, Mr. Francis, an undertaker, of Compton street, Soho, supplied a coffin for the body of a Mrs. Norton, who died at 28, Tower-street, Seven-dials, and after the body had been placed into the coffin, Mr. Francis proposed to immediately screw down the lid, on the plea that the body was rapidly decomposing. The friends in attendance, I however, warmly protested, and noticing that the head of th e corpse was improperly raised, they were induced to investigate the cause, the result of which was the discovery of the deceased child tightly wrapped up in a cloth and carefully secreted under the bead lining of the coffin. The Police were directly , sent for, and the child's body was removed to St. Giles 's workhouse. Mr. W. Bennett, the medical officer of the workhouse, deposed that he examined the dead child and found it in a state of advanced decompo sition, so much so that the boom of the cranium came away with the slightest touch. It was a full grown child, but he had not the least doubt that it was still-taro. Other evidence clearly proved that a Mrs. Kingdon had been delivered of the infant, and that it had been still-horn. The Coroner said suspicion had naturally been excited by the most improper nature? in which the child was disposed of, by being thrust into the coffin of another person. No doubt some difficulty crated in burying still-born children, but a Christian child should have Christian burial, at le nt in a box. The jou returned a verdict that deceased was still born, and amoral of the jurors severely animadverted on the conduct of the undertaker. ACTION AGAINST THE GREAT NORTHERN Ran.- WAY COIAPANT.—GALAUER 5,000/.—A protracted inquiry into the question of the damages sustained by Messrs. Barber, Walker, and Co., the propneton of the High-perk Colliery, by reason of the flooding of the shafts of their mine from the reservoir of the canal now in pretension of the Great Northern Railway Company, was brought on Monday night to a conclusion. The learned assessor, Mr. R o den, Q.C., having then summed up, the jury retired at • few minutes to seven o'clock, and at nine o'clock returned the following verdict :—" We find for the claimants, that the water from the reservoir flowed to the shafts, and we assess the damage at the sum of 4,9921, 3e. 10d." A COLLIERY INUNDATED.-0003 of the disastrous effects of the late flood was the partial inundation of the Machen colliery, near Newport, Monmouthshire. Fortu nately the men were not working at the time, or else it is very probable that the consequences would have bees serious. The water ettaiaed • height of thirty-two feet in the shaft, and the engines have been kept at work night and day since the accident. It is expected that the colliers will be able to resume work next week. The colliery is the pro perty of a London company, and the damage is estimated at from 8001. to I OM. • [AdvertiseMeet.] HOLLOWAT'iI PILLS.

Leading salesmen say they have not heard of a single sale of yarn to-day, and that it has been the flattest market knows for many months. Prices are drooping, but there have le es no offers to test the market fairly. The market for cloth s has been quite as inanimate as that for yarns. There her been no bummer offering, and to attempt it on the pert of sellers would lead to a very decided decline on the quou. thins of last week, or even of to day. There are telegrams to hand from Bombay to the 12th, reporting cotton lower and market dull. Piece goods in many instances had de. dined.

LEEDS, OCT. 28.—There was not much doing this morning in the Coloured Cloth Hall; th e attendance both of buyers and manufacturers was not large. Tweeds commanded the chief amount of atten. tion ; in fact the supply is now considerably in anent of the demand, and the few there were in the hall this morning were snapped up at high quotations. A few Melton. and fancy coatiop also changed hands, but the transactions in the aggregate were limited. Is the White Hall a fair business was done, the demand again running upon Albert and other fancy witneys, beavers, and pilots. The inquiry for plain cloths continues to be small. Hates in all departments are fully sustained. CORN.—Butz, OCT. to-day's market a .mall supply of English wheat, which is taken off at L. per qr. advance.

LEM, OCT. 213.—At . this day's market factors ask Is. to 2a per qr. advance upon wheat, which millers resist ; the few sales made are at the extreme rates of Friday. Floe dry barley is in request, and makes Is. per qr. more mom. Oats, beans, and other articles unaltered in value. LIVILEPOOL, Ocr. 2.B.—We have had a large attend. ante of both town and country millers and dealers at this day's market, and a good consumptive inquiry has been experienced for wheat of all descnotions, at a trifling ad. vance on the rates of Friday. Flour scarce and 6d. per barrel dearer ; sacks firmer. Indian corn is held for a shade more mousy, which checks business. Oats aid oatmeal steady. Beans and barley bring full prices. We had a healthy demand for wheat, but the market scarcely came up to anticipations ; the fact of it is the large quantity offering at the moment prevents any decided advance. LTIIN, OCT. 28.-The weather since this day week has been very unsettled, with a succession of heavy gales from ' the south-weed, and heavy rain at intervals. At our Cora Exchange to-day there was a falling off io the show of wheat, dry samples made Is. per qr. more money, and prices of other descriptions as last week. Barley-Malting runs in gocd reqnest, and prices against buyers; grinding samples support last Tuesday's rates. Beans and cats fully as dear.

At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, and the arritala ouutwise bees equally so, factors commenced by demanding an advance of Is. per qr. upon best dry new south country qualities, which had the effect of restricting business. Is the sales, however, that occurred, a shade over Saturday's rates eau realised. In old scarcely anything was done. Flour sold mire steadily, especially extra Hamburg', which foiled buyers at 43e.
