It appeared that some old carpet had been stored away i.r *lateen years in a loft of the hotel, but owing to the recent fires in London, Mr. Smith, the proprietor ordered the loft to be cleared out and the carpet brought into the open air, for the purpose of being sold. Mr. Smith afterwards directed the beet pieces to be cut out, and de tained the other parts to be destroyed. A police-constable, Bradley, 325 A, detected a man removing portions of the t.apet from the yard of the hotel. being charged ulth stealing it, he said he was employed by the prisoners 1. lake it swit e to l one of their houses, where some of the i .rpet was su bseq uently discovered.

The unfortunate proprietor, Mr. rider, however, who was only 24 years of age, was burned :• death. The fire was not extinguished until the premises ..d their contents were destroyed. The other fire broke out at five minutes past 3 a.m. at New eruee-roath belonging to Mr. H. Harris, a ear l. Oyer.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.—THIS DAY.) This forenoon Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, resumed, at the Lord Nelson Tavern, Gill-street, Lime house, the inquiry relative to the death of Mrs. Jessie Nelms, aged 44 years, wife of a mall shopkeeper named Ems Naive, whohas been charged with throwing her from a window. eschnary observers having - seen enough of Route in the black country to put him down ass "good thing," if the handicapper will only treat him se the moderate colt he cut up under his very nose at Goodwood. Both directly and indirectly the great event decided on the Knavesmire on Thursday next has been in flueneed, no fewer than four of the candidates having performed in the Tradirimen'a Plate at Stoekton, won by my old friend Strathroesn, who unfortunately disposed of his chance by lacewing a 101 b: penalty, at the tome that he showed Three per Cent, Honesty, and Miss Gabon.* to be of no access i . The Spy Wears no extras for his victory in the NoethernBt. Leger, and looks just as formidable as ever after beating The Sawyer—a pretty good colt when tu the humour: at the same time cold water was thrown on all the Goodwood Stakes form by Ilium's unsatisfactory exhibition at Wolverhampton ; for taking into consideration that the bad pace was against him, and leaving out of the question any mishap that occurred to him also, there is the fact atanng one in the fees of King's Cross having beaten one of the Goodwood forenidabka, very easily and at the first ghuioe it is easy to doubt whether Te:bouret is the good horse he is set down. Per vaoquee also suffers from the same depreratag infirmness, as it is hard to ea*** how far the Goodwood Stakes hero may not haveleaten him in the Liverpool Cup. How ever, there is the Dean's second to Strathoonan, at Stock ton, to be plead to the Angio-Prenchman's credit ; and it is singular that fair °acmes can be made for the circum stances that can be brought to bear against all the Ebor favourites. In any case it looks like T. Demean with Tabouret and Mandrake (both to run on their merits, I understand), arid John Scott with the Spy or Tara ban, having nothing to fear beyond "the money" being put right shoat Parvenues, or the Ilium division meaning business, and it is not on the cards we shall have such a great contest for the old Ebor as teat year, when some of the beet handicap horses of the day contended. I am only sorry that Stratheeraan did not remain at his original easy weight to take a side against his north oountry rivals, for it was not asking him too much to give weight for age to Tabouret, as may be easily discovered if Speculum should throw down the gauntlet to run him at a stone in the York Cup. It will be time enough, however, to make definite selections for these events next week, and I need only further observe that there should be a slashing race for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, with Cbaru wsounclaposed by The Spy The Sawyer, The Parson, or e, Blneeldn, and 'Cep-a -Pie, the letter of which lot must have improved indeed to beat Lord Stamford'a colt, if he can get over Blueskin. METEOR. The deceased met her death on the morning of Sunday, the 9th instant. She was seen to fall from the front window of the second floor of No. 27, Gill-street; she Wrack the window on the AM floor, breaking the glass, and then falling an the leads over the shop front rebounded and fell on the pavement, knocking down two men who tried to save bar. She was killed on the spot. The two men who endeavoured to catch the deceased while she was falling, both deposed at the opening of the inquest that the deceased got out of the window and threw herself down, and that no one threw her out. A Abs. Sharpley, however, had made a charge against the husband which caused the police to arrest him forthwith. But neither at the poboacenrt nor before the coroner did she attend as a witness until to-day. Elizabeth Sharphy now residing in Islington, but lately residing in GM:street, in a house opposite to that of the deceased, deposed that she was the widow of a labourer and was • domestic servant and also a needle woman. Os Saturday, the Bth of August, she ems in the street, outside her house, about midnight. She saw the deceased drop from the window. The deceased got out and sat on the window sill and she then turned round and slipped down so as to become suspended by her hands. She clung to the sill for about a minute ; she then fell. Witness did not see anyone in the room. There was a light in the room. No one came near the deceased. Coroner—Then what made you go to the police-station and state that you saw a man take the woman's hands and force them from the window-sill and fling herdown Witnees--I did not say I saw a man do it. I said I saw something dark move scram the window, and that I thought it was • man's arm. Cormier—But there was a light in the room, and you say you saw no one in the place. What do you mean by saying a man's arm moved across the sill 1' Witness—lt was something dark. I darway it was the curtain that moved. On my oath I believe it was the cur tain and not a man's arm. - I bad been drinking a little that night. I had seen the deceased going into the house some minutes before the occurrence. She went in while her husband was **firing to some persona, and without speaking to him. She did not seem to be afraid to speak to him, but she avoided him. I saw her go in from the window of my room. I was not then in the street. Mr. Neave was then standing near a neighbour's, Mt. Offer s, window. Mr. Neave said that the latter portion of the witness's evidence he could disprove. Esther Taylor, a needlewoman living opposite No. 27, Gill-street, said that she saw deceased get out. of her window and hang by one hand from the sill. No one touched her. Witham did not see her fall, for she turned away to avoid the sight. Mr. Neave was somewhat under the influence of liquor, but he was not quarrelling ; he was speaking to a neighbour praising deceased, saying that she remained indoors and minded her children, and was not like other parties' wives, out all night drinking. Mr. Neave had hardly gone indoors before deceased got out of the window. Witness heard no quarrel in the room ; there were no words. (BY TELEGRAPH.) STOCKTON BiERTING.--(THIS DAY.) CORPORATION PLATE. Alruna Lord Bothwell Masteretan 7 rea. BIENNIAL. ~Mr. T. Olierd said that on the Sunday morning in question between 12 and 1 o'clock the deceased spoke to him. She was crying, and said that she was frightened and was afraid to go into her own house. She bad dealt with witness for greengroceries and she had always begged of him not to tell her husband when she got credit. She said she wished she had never seen her husband, and that if her parents 'mew die kind of life she was leading they would take her away from him, for they were comfortably off. Croes-eaamined by Mr. Neave—l met you in the street, and I said "That is the man who frightened the woman out of window." I did not say "You threw her out of the window." The gentlemen did not cry " Shame" on me; they cried " Shame" on you." You willed me a psalm singer and a villain ; but you area villain. The Coroner said that the bias of the witness was so evident that Mr. Neave need not put any questions to him. _ _ _ Ladas • • .. .. • • Dryad .. • • • • Team D'Or .. • • .. • • MIDDLESBOROUGH HANDICAP.

This match (deferred from yesterday in conse quence of the rain) was commenced to-day at the Middle sex County Ground, Islington, the weather being fine and the temipsrature most agreeable. The toss was won by Middlesex, who put Yorkshire in. Play was not com menced until just before noon, although 11 o'clock sharp was announced as the time for commencement. The first pair of Yorkshire " bats" were Freeman and C. Webster, the Middlesex bowlers Howitt and Mr. Rutter. The score was hit to 22, when Hewitt bowled Webster at the end of half an hour. Stephenson got a single only, and then was bowled. Rowbotbam made 6 from the first ball be received, and then he lost Freeman as a mate, whom Howitt bowled, after making 18 by good steady play. Mr. Rutter next shot down Rowbotham's off-stump, and Iddison came forward. Four more runs were and then Thewlis was run out. Ullerthorne (a colt) made a couple, and then was easily caught. Iddison ought to have been stumped. Hewitt bowled both Emmett and H. Webster. Atkinson was caught at short-leg and West (another le ft -handed youngster) was bowledby Howitt. The innings closed for 80 at a quarter before 2, having occupied an hour and fifty minutes.

A singular and fatal disease termed the eplenio apoplexy tuis attacked the eows belonging to Mr. Mi nor, of Colin*, in Nottinghamshire, two of which have died from it, and four or five others have had to be slaughtered. The latter were cattle being fed for the market. Mr. Pyatt and Mr. Cave, veterinary surgeons, were called in, and have the remainder under treatment. The disease is supposed to have been caused by the heat of the weather, together with the dried up state of the pastures, and the cows having had acmes to impure water. The operation of tracheotomy, says the Stam ford Mercury, was performed by Mr. A. E. Boulton, sur geon, of iforriaistre„ upon a lad named Hemmen. It ap pears that on Sunday a fte rnoon the boy, with others, was playing in the Market-place, and put a marble into his mouth, which, in hie excitement, he swallowed.

Turnips, too, of the late sort especially, have been improved by the rain, and will not be altogether the hopeless blank they looked for some time. Even flax in soma quarters is turning out better than was anticipated, though it cannot by any mesas be regarded as even an average crop.
