*parting . *ntritigence. NEWMARKET. —MON DAY. THE CRITERION BIASES DAY. The Houghton meeting, which extends over six days, and serves as • wind-up to the season'siV at head quarters, com menced to-day, and eondder • at the pro comprised the Criterion Stakes', so from the Cffrits being a public Derby 410, and the Cambridge shire Trial Stakes (or at least a haiaip in which many of the oompetdorsonithesiorrow are eagaged) over that severe mum, no wonder that Newmarket was crowded and the Heath presented a scone of considerable excitement, which is not likely to be eq ualled b y the " great reform demon stration" to be held next month at Newmarket. On Sun day the Great Eastern Railway Company ran • special train of first-clam carriages from London to Newmarket, which conveyed • large number of the racing community to the scene of action. When the train reached Audley End it was discovered thee the axle of one of the carriages had become beatedei and would presently have been ablaze, so that the consequences might have been serious. As it was, however, the passengers were provided with another carriage, and after the damaged one had been removed the train proceeded, stopping ten minutes at Cambridge, where the number of passengers was consider abl augm ented. The subscription rooms were opened at night, but the attendance was very . scanty, and no offer was made to bet either on the Criterion or the Cambridge shire. The most important scratcbings were the Duke of York for the big handicap, and Vauban, Star of India, the Splitvote colt, and Arundel for the Criterion. This morning was fine and a goodly number of people assembled on the heath to witness the morning gallops. The card of the day showed that there wan a heavy pro gramme to be got through, and despite the dbagrecable weather a large concourse of people was assembled on the heath by the time racing commenced. The find event of the day being over the Cambridgeshire course excited a con siderable amount of interest. The large field of 17 faced the starter, and Jollity, who was backed so heavily for the Cesarewitch, won in gallant style, thereby compensating her friends in some degree for their previous losses, and demonstrating that she possesses a rare turn of speed, although staying may not be her forte. The Criterion was, of course, the great race of the day , a nd evoked • large amount of speculation. Achievement, notwithstanding bee recent defeats, was warmly supported, and repaid the loyalty of her backers by winning in her old style. The clipping sister of Lord Lyon has thus retrieved her lost !Almelo, and re-established her momentarily tarnished fame. Lord Westmorland, by the aid of tlphus and the crack light-weight, Kenyon, landed one of those good things for which the fortunate nobleman has become celebrat ed , and as the horse started first favourite in • field of t 3 runner., the followers of the " green and white braid" must have pulled off a considerable stake. The remainder of the racing does not call for any special remark. Dur the ing day some heavy Cambridgeshire betting took place, the only features of which were the fi rmness of Proserpine, the decline of Chepstow simultaneously with the advance of Caithness, and the subsequent return of of to favour. Quotations, together with details of running, are Yesterday a third conference was held at the Mansion-house between the Lord Mayor and the gentlemen in the City, India merchants, and bankers, with whom he has been in communication for some weeks on the subject of the famine in India. It was specially convened in eon sequenoe of the receipt by Lord Cranborne, the Secretary of State for India, of • telegram from the Viceroy of India in reference to the famine, and particularly with respect to Emma IN LONDON.—Morrnar Arrsisnoos. a public subscription in this country, under the auspices of Monday being an inconvenient day for many members to t h e Lord Major, a public meeting in Calcutta haying leave London, a fair sprinkling put in a n appearance, and decided to male such an appeal. speculation became brisk.

Be that as it might, that tele gram of the 17th Oct. from the Secretary of State was the third that had gone out to the Governor-General of India, leaving the public to conclude that all the necessary funds for the relief of the distress would be provided by govern ment, and Lord Cranborne had that morning authorised him (the Lord Mayor) to say that his letters from India wore of a more enoouraging character, that in Orissa the price of rice bad declined, and that instructions i were sent some weeks ago to the Viceroy to , institute a formal inquiry into the conduct of the officials of the Bengal government in dealing with the scarcity. He bad a long conversation with Lord Cranborne on the subject, and he must do him the com mon indict to say that no man could be more determined to grapple with this calamity, or could have shown greater promptitude in grappling with it, than the noble viscount. (Hear, hear.) They at length came to the conclusion that under the circumstances, so far as these had reached the home government, • subscription in London for the relief of the distress was not necessary. That being so, be (the Lord Mayor) had felt it due to the gentlemen present with whom he bad acted in this matter to convene them toge ther, in order to put them in possession of all that had passed between the Secretary o State and himself since their last meeting, and he left the matter in their hands. Considerable discussion followed, the general opinion being that at present it was unnecessary to enter upon a public subscription in this country. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, who gave an assurance that if he saw reason on subsequent information for thinking any steps neces sary he would let those present know. ;ppm tided: BETTING AT MIDNIGHT. There was a bulge attendaace at the Rooms, and specu lation was very brisk ; the most important feature was the immense support accorded to Thalia, who came from 20 to I offered to 6to 1 taken freely. At the close her current price was 7 to 1, this being taken to a hundred pounds. Affidavit was in great demand at 10 to 1, as was Jollity at lop to 7. There was an evident disposition to lay against Xi, and at the clops he receded to 1,000 to 15, offered in all parts of the room. Of the outsiders, Brown Bread was quietly backed to win a large stake at 40 to 1. An offer was made to beck Thalia against Proserpine or Chepstow for adeven thousand.

JOOllll, Dowakisort, • respectablolooking elderly man, sur rendered to take his trial for misdemeanour, in having un lawfully published a fame scandalous, and defamatore libel concerning one Mary Anne Dames, he well knowing it to be false. In other counts of the indictment the defendant was aswith publishing the same libel, but without alleg t he knew that the allegations contained in it were Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution, which was instituted by the direction of the body of the Middlesex Hospital. Mr. Ribton was for the defendant. This ease was one of • very peculiar character. The real promenade in the cue was • respectable married a pea woman, who was employed in the capacity of auras at the Middlesex Hospital, and the offence im puted to the defendant was that he had wilfully and deliberately made • charge against this pareon of having been guilty of gross immorality with and with one of the patients named Manning, having done so in his presence. It appeared that the defendant was an inmate of the hos pital as a patient in the month of July last, and that he was placed in a ward called "Forbee's Ward," with • num ber of other patients. He was discharged, or left the hospital, on the 30th of July, and be then appeared to have gone to Mr. Shaw, the house-surgeon, and stated that he had a communication to make to hum, with reference to the conduct of one of the nurses in the ward. He was asked the particulars, upon which be went on to narrate I that, during the night of the 15th of July, he had seen the Inure° of the ward in whic h he bad been placed, Mary Anne Desmes, act in a grossly immoral and indecentmanner with one of the patients, a man named Mannim, who occu pied • bed next to his own in the ward. The defendant was told that it was a serious matter, and that the subject was one that must receive further consideration, and he was aaked to come to the hospital on • future day. He did so, and be then, a second time and in the presence of Mr. Hulks, one of the sedstant surgeons of the institution, repeated the statement he bad formerly made, and signed a written statement embodying the charge of immorality that he had formerly made against the nurse Deames, and he also accused her of having :died spirits to the pa thuds, contrary to theregula tions of the hose pitaL The council or governing yof the institution at once instituted the necessary inquiries, and the decision that they appeared to have arrived at was that there was not the slightest foundation for either of the charges made against one of their officers, and particularly for the more serious one of the two, that of immorality. They consequently directed a prosecution to be instituted against the defendant, and a bill was found at the last session against the defendant, but the trial was postponed, upon the application of his counsel, to the present session. A great many witnesses were examined on behalf of the prosecution, whose evidence went to establish the above The nurse referred to and the person with whom the act of immorality wee alleged to have been committed were among those who were examined, and they swore in the most positive and unqualified manner that there was not the slightest foundation for the charge that was made against them. With regard to the latter, it appeared upon the facts to be almost physically impossible that he could have been • party to any each proceeding so was represented by the defendant to have taken place, Inasmuch as it appeared that at the time he was suffering from a very serious injury to the knee, for which be had only recently undergone two operations, and that the in jured limb was placed in a plaster of Paris bandage, and suspended from • cradle, and that be was undergoing great bodily agony. Nearly all the other inmates of the ward were also examined as witnesses, and they swore positively that nothing of the kind stated by the defen dant ever took place. There did not appear to be any motive put forward for the commission of the offence by the defendant, but it was suggested that he had some ill feeling towards the institution, and it ap that he had stated to one of the witnesses that the 2 'saes • had given the hospital a " and that he would soon give them another. A great many questions were put by Mr. Ribton in cross-examination to the gentlemen connected with the hospital who were examined as witnesses, with • view ap parently to impugn the management of the institution. All the material facts, however, that were elicited, appeared to be that there had been some difference of opinion in the council of the institution upon the question whether lady nurses or paid nurses should be employed in the hos pital, and as to which of these clams it was the more ad visable to employ. It also appeared that complaints had been made of two of the nurses having been guilty of in decent conduct in February last, and that they were consequently discharged from their office. It transpired in the course of the inquiry that Man ning, the person with whom the act of immorality Wu alleged to have been committed, was one of the gal lant men engaged in the Ralaklava charge, and that he received the injury from which he was suffering upon that occasion, by his hone being shot and falling upon him. Mr. Ribton made an energetic address to the jury on be half of the defendant, his defence apparently resting partly upon law and partly upon the facts of the case. He I contended that there was no proof of malice on the part of the defendant, or that he had published the libel referred , to in the sense required by the law, and that the-state ment ought to have been regarded as a confidential and privileged communication. With regard to the facts, he urged that as the occurrence was represented to have taken place in the dead of the night, when the ward was dimly lighted, and that it was admitted that the witness Manning, from his unfortunate con dition, required the greatest care and attention, be said that the offices that were necessarily performed for him by the nurse might have been mistaken by the defendant, while suffering under severe pain and illness, for acts of a criminal nature. The learned counsel also remarked upon the fact, that by the regulations of the hospital patients were invited to complain of any acts of misconduct that were committed. Several respectable witnesses were examined, who gave the defendant an excellent character. The Recorder at the commencement of his summing me expressed his regret at the attack that had been made upon the authorities of the hospital by the counsel for the defendant in the course of the inquiry, and which he said, as it appeared to him, was entirely unsupported by any facts that had been proved in evidence, and which, be sides, had nothing whatever to do with the question before the jury. He then proceeded to explain the law as it related to the different forms of the charge, and said he was of opinion that if the jury should think the defendant believed the statement he made to be true, and was not actuated by malice, that it was, under the circumstances, a privileged communication, and he ought not to be convicted upon the 'present charge, The jury, after some deliberation, returned • verdict of Guilty upon the count which did not allege that the de fendant knew that what he stated was tithe. Mr. Ribton submitted that this was equivalent to an ac quittal upon the ruling of his lordshi. The Reorder said that this dep ended* pon the view that was taken of the matter by the jury, d, after some discuesion,the learned judge put some questions to them, in answer to which the jury said they were of opinion that the defendant believed what he had stated to be true, that he was not actuated by malice, and that his only object was that there should be an inquiry instituted into the matter. His Lordship ruled that as this was the view take n by the jury, the verdict should have been not guilty,the defendant was ordered to be discharged. Herbert Rymer), a gentlemanly looking young man , sur rendered to take his trial for unlawfully wounding. Mr. Giffard, Q.C., was specially retained to prosecute, with Mr. Sleigh and Mr. F. H. Lewis ; and Serjeant Bal lantine was specially retained, with Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Besley, for the defence. This case appeared to create a good deal of interest, but none of the facts connected with it were stated, except that there had been no inquiry before a magistrate, but • bill had been at once preferred before the grand jury at the last session by the prolocutor. Mr. Giffard, when the defendant had surrendered, said that the charge against him was one of felonbus wound ing, but from the fact of no w e apo n having been used, and other circumstances, it a to him that this charge could not be supported. ere was another charge of assault only against the defendant, but as thematter ap peared to be altogether onto be treated rather civilly than criminally, and the parties were about to make some ar rangement, he should not offer any evidence in support of either charge. Serjeant Ballantine said he had objection to offer to the course proposed to be taken by his learned friend. A verdict of Not Guilty was then recorded, and defend. ant left the court, accompanied by • number of his friends. THZ LLZDO RANI. - . away) broke one. Cash said the boys were together. Jones's father, a working _man living in Vere-street, here came forward, and on Ilr. Fiowers asking him if he was ready to pay for the three panes, replied, " He says he did not break them." Mr. Flowers—But I know be did. The Father—There are sometimes 20 or 30 boys there et • night, and you cannot go through the fields of a night without exporting to have your head broke. I believe those two were the youngest of the lot. Mr. Flowers—But the biggest got away the fastest. (To the prisoner Jones)—You see it is very hard upon your f a ther. He has to work for his money, and is not rich enough to afford the luxury of paying for glass which you break for your amusement. He wants his money to pay for food and clothes for you instead of mending lamps. The father said he himself was a sufferer by the street boys, who sometimes broke his own windows. He believed the worst boys were not here. Mr. Flowers—The prisoner Jones said it washis brother, so take it either way it was done by one of your boys. Mrs. Burke, the mother of the second prisoner, said she was quite sure he never was out late at night. Mr. Flowers suggested that it was unwise for parents to be so fond of siding with their children against plain proof. It only encouraged them. He must One the prisoners 6d. each, and order Jones to pay 3s. and Burke 2e. 6d. damage, or be imprisoned three days each. Prisoner's father here said—l have got the money to pay, but don't you think it would do him more good to go to prison I Mr. Flowere—You can consider that question outside. Burke's fine was at once paid by his mother, who cried over him, and took him home. CLERKENWELL. Mary Ann Davis, aged 30, a dirty, masanline.looking woman, an unfortunate, r esiding at 15 Golden-lane, St. Luke's, was charged with being concerned with • man not in cust ody in stealing from the person of Mr. Robert is. bet, a traveller, of Newhall-lane, City, about 305., at St. John-street, ClerkenwelL The prosecutor, whose head was enveloped and covered with surgical band ages , said that he was proceeding along St. John-street, Clerkenwell, between 12 and 1 o'clock in the morning, when he passed the prisoner, who was along with a man. He had no sooner d one so than he re ceived a biolent blow on the head from behind. Neither the man nor the woman spoke to him, nor he to them. The blow was given with snob force that it stunned him, and he fell on the pavement. He had, before he passed them, about 11. 10s. or U. 12s. in his pocket. He had the money inside his coat breast pocket, and whilst he was on the ground his coat was torn open and his money taken. After he wee knocked down he did not know what took plaoe, as he was insensible. When he came to himself he was in the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, and then his money was gone. He now felt very ill from the effects of the blow. Polioe-constable Henry Field, 251 G, said he was on duty in St. John-street, Clerkenwell, at about a quarter to two, and saw the prosecutor lying on the ground bleeding. He saw a man end the prisoner run away in contrary dim- Cone. By the Magistrate—l am quite sore the prisoner ran away. Both the prisoner and the man got off the prose- I rotor and ran away as I came up. Another constable and myself took tbe prosecutor to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road. I then brought the p risoner back and charged her on suspicion of having robbed tho man. She then said she had done nothing to the proeecutor, and that she was trying to get him home. She was searched, and Is. 6d. in silver, some coppers, and a duplicate relating to a pair of boots were found on her. The prisoner, who said that at present she did not wi sh to make any remark in connexion with the case, was re -1 for farther inquiries to be made by the police. •-- -- - Upon the application of Mr. F. H. Lewis the trial of Mr. Greenland formerly the cashier to the Leeds Bank, who stands charged with publishing a fraudulent and false balance-sheet of the accounts of that bank, and also with perjury, was fixed to take place on Thursday. II 4 THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. Two little boy', of the ages of eight and nine respec tively, named James Jones and John Burke, were charged withbreaking lamps in Lincoln's-inn-fields. Police-constable Cash, 97 F, stated that at about half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night be was on duty in Lin coln's-inn-fields, and saw the prisoners and three other boys throwing stones at one of the lamps, which they broke. They were at some distance from him, and before be could get to the spot they went to another lamp and threw five or six stones at it. The last stone, which was thrown by Burke, broke that lamp. Witness seized the prisoners, but the other three got away. He believed all the five threw stones. He sew Jooes throw several. He only saw Burke throw the one that broke the seoond lamp. In the first lamp three panes of glass were broken, and in the seoond two panes. Inspector Parkes, of the F division, said that no lees than 2 , 3 panes of glass in 16 lamps were broken between half•past 7 o'clock on that same night and 6 o'clock on Sunday morning. Mr. Whiteside, of 158, High Holborn, lamp contractor, said the oat of repairing the three panes of glass would be !mat tha ;ales of B.C.

A LADY BURNT TO DEATH.—The coroner for the borough of Reading has just held an inquest at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in that town on the body of a lady named Sarah Jones, aged 59 years,whose death re sulted from severe bums. The deceased, who was a spinster, resided at Henley-on-Thames with an elderly female relative who was an invalid. One evening last week the invalid was seated by the fire in her sitting-room when the deceased stood near ber and entered into conver sation, during which her dress, extended by crinoline, touched the bars of the grate and became ignited. She rut lied from the room into the street and back again in • dreadful state of fright and excitement, the flames having rapidly ascended, and burnt the upper portion of her body very severely. A man observed ber rash from the bonne, and following her in enveloped her body in a rug, and ulti mately succeeded in extinguishing the flames. She was attended bT a medical man and then removed to the Berke Hospital, where she lingered for a abort time and then expired from the injury caused by the burns. A ver dict of " Accidental death " was returned. Min Jones resided in that part of Henley known as Fair Mile. FIRES AT LONDON THEATREL —The returns of the Fire Brigade show that during the last 28 years there have been eight of the metropolitan theatres burned down, viz.:-June it, 1841, Aatley's, belonging to Messrs.

Conquest and Gommersall, in Leman-street ; March 29,1849, Olympic Theatre, belonging to Mr. David son and Captain Spicer; July 27, 1853, the Islington Circus, when 7 horses and 11 dogs were burned to death ; February 13, 1856, the Pavilion Theatre, Whitechapel ; March 5 (same year), Covent-garden Theatre ; January 30, 1865, Surrey Theatre ; and last Sunday morning the Standard Theatre. The canoes of each fire to this day remain unknown. TOLLS AT 1110110.1 TE ARCH WAY. —Yesterday a decision was given at Highgate Police-court on the awn reported in the Express of the 9th, on • question as to the right to take toll at Highgate archway for evbreak in the road. Mr. Potter, clerk to the Hornsey Highway Board, summoned one of the collectors, William nott, for illegally demanding and taking of him 6d. for his hone and chaise. On the present occasion Mr. Michael, bar rister, attended in support of the summons ; and Mr. Pat tison, solicitor, appeared for the Archway Company. A question was raised as to the jurisdiction of the bench to hear the case. Under the 56 Geo. 3rd the company had obtained a local act, and a clause as to tolls of nearly the same words as in 'the local act appeared in the General Turnpike Act of Geo. 4th, and Mr. Michael submitted that the bench had jurisdiction. Mr. Pattison maintained that as the road was private property, the bench bad no juris diction. It appeared that the question turned on the words, "each snclievery end," and the question was there fore of public importance from the improvements dec idedbeing made in the neighbourhood. The bench e ventuall y that they bad no jurisdiction to hear the case. Mr. Potter said an application would be made to the Court of Queen's Bench fora mandamus. The magistrates, Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Faulconer, Mr. Crell, and Colonel Jeakea , thought it de sirable that the question should be settled. The summons was dismissed. Tug IRISH Cormier SYS/TH.—Many suggestions have been thrown out during the last three weeks as to the future management of the Irish convict system, amongst which is the formation of a board consisting of a chairman and two sub-directors. Such an arrangement would, no doubt, have been suitable at one time when our convict class wan numerous, but when we bear in mind that our convict population has so diminished es to render necessary the closing of several convict gaols, leaving the few existing one, almost empty, It appears to us an injustice to saddle the public treasury with the pay ment of prison officials for whom there is no employment now. At no time, perhaps, in the history of Ireland did our adult criminals rate so low as at the present time; and when we consider the vast amount of money the country is called upon to pay for directors, inspectors, governors, super i n tendents, chaplains, doctors, schoolmasters, and warders employed in the Irish convict service, it is only common justice to appeal against any further appointments which can only be made for party purposes.—Preetnan's Journal.
