seutcluAu INTELLIGANCE. Tilt LAST DAY'S SPORT AT DONCASTRR. TO TEIZ =MI Or TILE LIPHIM. Sia,—Having to write in haste, there is but scant opportunity for me to take cognisance of the past china at the Doncaster meeting, still I =Dot refrain from remark ing upon the magoitioeut race we bad for the St. Leger between the two clacks, Clialloner's*pecinieu of jocke).hip beim; a tuamerpiece, considering he had " the demon" at hie elbow all the way up the dimmer*. The result has not spoiled any of Friday's races, and there will probably be a magnificent race for the Cup, two miles and* half, Wallace, Asteroid (71b extra), Ttm W hitßer (71b extra), Caller On (71b extra), the Marquis Cilb extra), Backdoor' (31b extra), and /Atha extra), being all in the frty, and very dangerous. The first and second in the St. Leger should have had enough of it, and consequently I must trust to the tl e ilt u to p u i , r ' b Tins W Willer, who gave &timid more thee a 41b • at Goodwood, and thus appears to hold Asteroid safe. e Dosimeter Stakes, for 3-yr-olds, one mile and a half, should be woe by Argonaut, for there are only Bertha and Nottingham in the rice besides, and Lord Stamford not having mu his filly for the St. Leer, it seems that be does not believe 111 her staying.

LEGER DAY. placing carnivals are the only greet festivals of the English public, mid what the " Derby day" is to the metropolis th e St. Lager diiy" is to the millions of the vast manufactur ing dis tri cts of Yorkshire. The striking distinction in the sharacter of the holiday-makers at Epsom and Doncaster iti that the masses who crowd the Surrey hills think and know little of the actual sport, while the crowds of spec tators who flock to the Dosimeter Town Moor are enthu siastically absorbed is the grand encounter, and are, almost to a man, practically informed upon th e chief incident of the Jay. end learned in the lore of the Legere, from the memorable encounter of Fah° da Puta and Charles the Twelfth down to the exciting struggle of Caller On and Kettledrum. At Dencaster there is none of that wild, exu berant, and uproarious tun which bursts out at Epsom, hut the sense of enjoyment at Doncaster assumes • hearty and exhilarating appreciation of the majored pastime in all its exciting phases. The " St. Lager week" has for many yeas been regarded as the last grand turf reunion of the year, and during the interval the most ardent devotee of double- barrels or " breech-loaders" forgets "the birds" and the stubble, and makes his way to the clean and pretty little south Yorkshire town. In this respect the present meeting has fully sustained its ancient prestige, for • larger eon coarse of noble sportsmen were certainly never present to witness the last important three-year-old contest of the ' season ; and probably • more interesting St. Leger never occupied their thought*. The rime is invariably regarded with especial interest, from its confirming or contradicting the truth of "the Derby" running. It is seldom that the great Epsom event pines over without some question and mairoversies being nixed as to the genuineness of the issue, and there was no departure from the rule on the present anniversary. Carectacus's victory over the Marquis was, by the friends of the latter, declared to be nothing more than " • finks." and it had been stoutly maintained that, from his jockey not having sufficient command, the horse had wore himself out before coming to the finish. Ceder this impression the Marquis has with little deviation from the period of the "Derby lay" held the position of first favourite. Canie• tech, however, bore closely upon his heels until some few weeks since, when, as the turf phrase is, be became " fishy" the market, arid liedly was driven to 100 to 1, ad ulti mately scratched, owing to his having injured the ligaments of his forelegs. With Caractecus out of the question, there still existed a fresh soave of disputation among the fol lowers of racing as to the truth of the Marquis and Buck stooe's running second and third at Epsom, as the partisans of the latter have always insisted that his chance was ins 'sired by sundry "cannoning." and misadventures in the neatest on the 4th of June. Then Argunaut's admirers ascribed his defeat at Epsom to his backward condition, and satin trusted him, reposing every confidence in the dan gerous and somewhat mysterious Sir Joseph Hawley. who is perhaps more often to be feared when his animals agpla t : least formidable than at any other moment. John Sc hiaddition to the mighty Marquis, bad Hurricane—the former Oaks favourite—engaged, and she was Lacked for large amounts and spoken of cautiously, from the renowned Yorkshire trainer's skill in effecting surprises. Her defeat in the fillies' race at Epsom was also declared to be altoge ther inconsistent with her actual merits. tJarisbrook, too, who was formerly trained by John Scott, but sold out of the stable from his reputed bad temper, also appeared upon the acme as a formidable rival to the favourites, for at Ascot this year, Laving become " Rareyfied" in disposition, and having made tremendous improvement. he came out to the astonishment of the sporting world, and won three MIMS. sive engagements in tree style of a first-class roe-hone. Among the outsiders was the celebrated thoughuufortunate Old Calabar, believed to be the best 2-yr-old of last seaway and who was lamed villanously, it is feared, so an to pro vost his running for the Two Thousand Guineas in the awing. Exchequer, Johnny Armstrong, Warminster, and Iniperatrice were looked upon by some as not at all nu ' likely to overthrow the best of the competitors for at Doncaster it has been constantly found as haza rdous: to pat "faith" in favourites as "in princes." The Mart is had previously met and defeated nearly all the horses likely to be brought out for the St Leger this season and the last, and having won all his 2-yr-old engagements'. the Two Thousand, and been second for the Derby, he was upon his public merits fully entitled to the position he occupied as the reigning favourite. Thus is will be seen that the St. Leger decided this day was not deficient in exciting ele ments, and no wonder that almost before daylight people began to arrive until the streets were swarmed, and the large space in front of the betting rooms blocked up with an almost impenetrable body of men, anxious to ascer tain the latest state of the odds, and if possible glean from them who emerged from the crammed subscription room if anything had befallen the favourites. Before proceeding to the details of the day it may be well to election the features of the midnight betting which preceded the 86th St. Leger. The subscription room began to fill early iii the erasing, but nothing of importance occurred until close amp midnight, when the Marquis evinced much greater firmness, whilst, on the contrary, the disposition to operate against Buekstone caused Mr. Merry's colt to retrograde slightly in the Letting. Cariebrook gas firmly supported by his owner, but nevertheless became no better favourite. An increased feeling in favour of the Stockwell colt reduced the adds which had been offered against Lord Glasgow's horse. Without any heavy outlay, Impel-atria) was made a leading featureof theadvancedones, andthenumerous inquines about Old Calabar induced the bookmakers to reduce the aids they had previously offered against Sir it. Bulkeley'e champion. The arrival of the acceptances for the Cesarewitch and Cam-1 Iridgeshirehandicam creatad much curiosity, and scratching, for the St. Leger were also eagerly inquired lifter ' but the only notable animals who had had the pen put through their names were Ace of Clubs. Welcome, and Costa, whose absence, however, created no surprise whatever, as they bad taken no prominent position in the betting returns. A more beautiful morning never opened upon the wishes of holiday seekers ; the air was fresh and even bracing, and the sun delightfully tempered it, with alight breezes. Towards mid day, however, the sky became overcast with heavy clouds, but the day was altogether favourable to the sport. The scene at the railway station was almost beyond descrip tion, and the immense excursion trains from London, Shef field, Leeds. Huddersfield, and Bradford seemed to dis gorge upon the platform the population for a Babylon. The shrill screech of engine whistles, the thundering rush of the locomotives, the vociferation of fiymeo, the cries of the eared-nellers, and the clatter of pedestrians upon the pave ments made a perfectly bewildering din of confusion. The betting-room was of course the centre of attraction, and amid the stifling atmosphere, the smoke of rank cigars, speculation was carried on, and the odds taken to hundreds and hundreds of pounds, although the morning's trauma tines were not nearly of the extent of former years. It would require a powerful pen to depict faithfully the scene upon the course. Up to the very moment appointed upon the card for the decision of the St. Leger, people con bayeder, to pour on to the course, ad vehicles of all kinds crowded the road leading to the back of the grand stand, from the summit of which floated several of the national standard of England. The betting ring was crammed. and the stewards' and private stands presented • remarkable array of distinguished persons. Bat time will not permit us to compile a list of " fashionables." l'pnn the outside of the course the Town Moor was crowded with pedestrians, and altogether the spectacle had no parallel except on the Derby Day. Racing was appointed to commence at 1.30, at which time two animals only contested the Municipal Stakes, the favourite. Clarion, winning easily ; and the sue. seeding event, the Handicap, commenced the excitement of the day by a dead heat between Barchettineaud Donnybrook. Little attention was, however, bestowed by the geoend body of the spectators on the two opening events, sad the repeated shouts from the ring of "I'll bet 300 to 100 against the Marquis," plainly told that the bookmaker' had still • strong prejudice against the favourite; but, on the other hand, the veteran John Scott was neutering among the nobility, and quietly protesting that his horse would be victorious, though the followers of Yr. Merry seemed equally sang tine that their " boy in yellow would win the day." The grand event waa ap pended for 2.45, and Mr. blanoing. the active clerk of the males, pushed the business on so indurtriously, that the Leger jockeys were "scaled" in capital time. Much inte rest was manifested to ascertain the runners, and the tele. graph apparatus was surrounded by • large number of people. who were busily engaged "ticking off" upon their earls the actual starten. Twenty-six were "coloured," the absentees being (No, 7), colt by Barlett', dam by Pyrrhus the Firel, ; (9) c by Y. Melbourne ; (14) Veteran,; (111)The Knave ; (17) Victrix ; (18) Biocide& ; (21 IstcYdro M) Keane ; (73) Mtaple Oak ; sod (26) Berths. Thus Mesa came out to do battle. the jnumber of runners being billow that of bat year. Betting up to the finish ye mated few notable changes, but Buclartone became slightly favourite at 3to 1, while 100 to 30 was had against the Marquis. When the horses emerged from the saddling snakenre, the utmost excitement prevailed, and each fa. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1862. vaults as he was novelist' was greeted with a roaring cheer from the spectators. Cm iok, with his masterly jockey, Sam Rogers, as neat as a pin in the " all straw, was the first to appear, with the trainer at his head • and after hint came in quick successiou Lord Glasgow's an d Scott's pair, the Marquis and Hurricane ; the superb ap pearance of the &vaunts, who, as on the Derby day, wore the well.know-n " blinkers," drawing forth a bus of admi ration from the spectators. Challoner bad been engaged on the prerediug day by Mr. Hawke for the Marquis, the acretching ui Biondella liaviog left Mr. Naylor's jockey open to an engagement, and a most fortunate one u it transpired. lluckstooe's entrance upon the course was another signal for a general murmur of admiration, and George Fordhani, in the "yellow and black," seemed the picture of confidence as he leant forward to pat his horse's neck before proceeding to the preliminary canter. The race will be found fully described below, and it is sufficient in this place to state that the Marquis and Buckstone, side by side, had the remainder of the field beaten from the distance, and that they came on together, and ran such a finish uit is seldom our lot to behold. The pair raced head and head from this point amid emu of excitement that has had no parallel since the memorable dead beat between Bussborough and Voltigeur in 18.50. The Marquis was the first to " crack" opposite the middle of the stand enclosure, but Challoner riding magnificently, made a vigorona e ff ort, and though Buckstone for a single stride got his head in front the supposed "non-stayer" —The Marquis—" came spin," and from sheer gameness alone woo one of the most brilliant races on record by a head only. Seam a thing did it seem that It was impossible for • moment for any but the judge to pronounce which had woo and the suspense and excitement among the crowd were tremendous, " and the boldest held his breath for a time." This quiescent state was, however, eucceedeil by • feeling of intense anxiety when the numbers of The Marquis and Buckstoee were placed on the telegraph board, and "a dead heat" was shouted on all sides. Mr. Clark's assistant. had, for the moment, it seems, become confused with the thoutiop of the spectators, and a hastily given counter. order from the judge set matters right, and "No. 11" was displayed, and The Marquis declaredvictorious. To describe what took place afterwards would be impossible. Deafening cheers greeted John Scott, Challoner, and The Marquis, and the veteran trainer was compelled to seek • chair in the Clerk of the Course's room, where Lord Strathmore sod other noblemen were among the first to offer their congratu lation.. It will be seen below that Cariabrook, Hurricane, Johnny Armstrong. and other horses heavily banked, were nowhere when it CAM) to a final struggle ; and, indeed, seve ral were beatzo and " tailed" away before half the distance had been traversed. Lord Glugow's despised Clarissa colt fuished third, and beat his stable companion the Stockwell colt, which would seem to give a colouring to the report that in the private trial at home the result had been the same, It should be mentioned that The Marquis was accompanied to the post by Harden, the lad who looks after him, but that the i horse was again as docile as a sheep. Thus was the St. Lager, so famous for its surprises, at last carried off by one of the favourites, and one of the greatest turf problem solved that had ever perplexed racing men. Mr. S. Hawke the owner, we believe, backed has for 1,500 i. ; and the princi pal adherents of Whitewall laid good stakes. But though a favourite, no borne him ever encountered greater hostility of opinion than The Marquis. The present makes the sixth St. Leger that John Scott has won since 1851, with Newminster, ' West Australian, Warlock, Imperieuse.

The subject which engrossed the public mind in July last has again Laid bold of general attention, by the fact that to-day (Wednesday) Jenne M'Lainklan is to stand at the bar of tine Juticisry Court, mowed of having, on the 4th or sth of July last, wickedly and feloniously at tacked and assaulted Jessie M'Pherson, then residing as a servant in flandyford-place. It would be exceedingly diffi cult to arrived the true explanation of all this interest sad excitement—au excitement not confined to one class, but which, especially during the week succeeding the committal of the awful deed, occupied the conversation and thoughts of every inhabitant of Glasgow, ani the country generally. No doubt, the atrocity of the crime, the great mystery which hung around it, the slow but regular progress made in the partial elucidation of that mystery by the polies, all tended to the result which was apparent to the most cursory observer—that Glasgow had not been so stirred since the memorable alleged poisoning case trans pired !Ira. On Monday afternoon, the 7th July, it was discovered that Jessie M'Pherson, aged 38, servant to Mr. John Fleming, accountant, residing at 17, Sandyford-place, had been cruelly murdered. The family were living at Dunoon at the time, and the male portion of the household, with one exception, had gone down on the previous Friday afternoon to join the other pert of the family, leaving old Mr. Fleming and the deceased alone in the house. At 4 o'clock on Satur. day morning Mr. Fleming heard sounds proceeding from the sunk flat ; but, thinking there was nothing wrong, he paid no attention. The deceased was not afterwards seen alive, and on Monday afternoon, when Mr. John Fleming came home, search was made, and her body was found, fear fully mangled, with several deep gashes on the head, lying in her own bedroom—the floor of which was c ov e red with gore. Immediately the most energetic and patient investigation was made into the whole circumstances of the case. Little light, however, was cast upon it fur several days. There had been some money and silver plate taken from the house on the night of the murder, and this was found on the fol lowing Wednesday forenoon in a pawn of in Fart Clyde street, where it had been pledged admittedly by the prisoner M'Lachlan, who was apprehended in her lodgings on the Sunday following. Some days after, clothing belonging to the deceued, after several journies by rail, was given up to the authorities by the prisoner's husband; sad subse quently. bloody rags were found at Hamilton, which are supposed to have belonged to the prisoner M'Lachlan.

RATENSIVE POST -OFFICE FRAUDS. GUILDHALL, LYNN, Wintresnev. The borough magistrates have this morning been engaged hivestigating a chugs of robbery of letters contain ing money and other valuables preferred against Richard Euefer, the principal mosey order clerk io the post.office, and • young man of very respectable eonnexiona. For some time past there have been numerous complaints of money, stamps, rings, studs, panes, and other articles of value, which shouts have passed through the Lynn Post-office in letters, never arriving at their place of destination, and in oonsequeoce of the somewhat extravagant habits of the prisoner the suspicion fell on him. On Monday an inspector from the missing letter department, and a detective officer, came to Lynn for the purpose of discovering the delinquent. At half-past 9 o'clok a letter was deposited in the letter-box containing a marked half sovereign end 60 postage stamps, the envelope being directed to Mrs. Ebbbon, 2, Hinton place, Tunbridge Wells. That letter should have been forwarded by the 11.10 London mail, in which cue it would have palmed through the General Post-office in London that afternoon. It did not do so, and Inspector Howson went to the post-office and saw the prisoner, whom he asked if he was not on duty in the post-office t hat morning alone. Re replied, " Yes." When asked wbo sorted the letters for the morning mail, be replied that he did some of them, and added that was not his duty. The inspector asked him how be came to do it, and his reply was that the sorter was late, and Le helped him. He denied having seen • letter directed to Mrs. Sibboo, Tun bridge Wells, and was searched, but nothing was found upon him to criminate him. The following day be was apprehended. It appears that the prisoner was in sole charge of the post-office from 8.30 a.m. to 12 at noun. one of the sorters (Fowler) being the only official besides Keefer who was present within those hours, and Fowler was only there from 10.33 to ILI3. The half sovereign was paid over to a lady named Kemp, who drew the mosey upon an order that morning. One of the duties devolving upon the money-order clerk was to place his name or initials upon the order when be paid it, which the prisoner had not done. Mrs. Kemp could not swear that the prisoner was the man who paid the money, although she felt certain it was he. _ _ _ _ _ Deciding heat : 55 to 40 on Barchettina, who won, after • splendid race, bye head.

THE RECENT FIRE AT. THE LIVERPOOL WORKHOUSE AND LOSS 01'23 LIVES. ADJOURNED INQUEST. LIVERPOOL, WIDNEISDAT. Mr. Driffield, the Liverpool deputy coroner, re turned the inquiry into this (*test rophe at 11 o'clock this morning. Mr. 43urwootl, deputy town-clerk, appeared to watch the case on behalf of the corporation ; and lir. Dreamer, solicitor, on behalf of the parch authorities. Mr. Carr, the governor of the worl,house, was agaih ex amined. H ei stated that he way utermed at about ten minutes peat two iu the morning and immediately set to work in getting out the water hose. In less than fifteen minutes the first hydrant was turned, and the water began to play at the south end of the building. Had no oppor tunity of seeing to what height the water was forced in this instance. Almost immediately afterwards soother hose was brought round, and the water was poured upon the supposed seat of the fire—the male infanta' schoolroom. Two other hydrants were afterwards turned on, and I the hose was carried to a point west of the burn. I log buildings. ' A very short time elapsed before all the hose was in operation; no time was lost and two 'eta of men were working. At the time of the fire there was a pile of clothes in the infants' schoolroom, not far from the postage leading to the dormitories, and is the schoolroom also there was a cupboard (containing books, bonnets, Ac.) and a wooden gallery where the children sat. When he first noticed the fire it appeared to be coming from the direction of the cupboard and the pile of clothes. Wit ness ran up the ladder before the hose was brought round, and looked through the dormitcry selective. The fire bad not then reached the children, and they were lying in their beds uif asleep—they were asleep in death, far witnea believe] they must have been suffocated before this time, es when be looked throvagh the windows the smoke was so dense that he was compelled to retire. The dispeneary and drug stores were under the dormitories, and fearing the moat disastrous consequences if the fire extended to them, witness directed the efforts of the firemen against this por tion of the building rather than against the church, conse quently the drug store was saved sod tho church destroyed. Miss Keenan, schoolmistress, was next examined. She slept near the children's dormitory, and was awakened on the morning of the fire by a strong smell of smoke in her room. She told some of the children to run through the establishment and shout "Fire." From the first she thought the fire a very serious one, and gave the alarm to the governor. As she crossed the iron grid covering the peonage between the church and the dormitory she felt it was warm, and when she returned from the governor's house she found the heat had greatly increased, and that dense volumes of smoke were rising through it. On going upstairs again she heard cries, but *as not able to advance far into the room in consequence of the density of the smoke. Creeping on her hands and knees into the room, and feeling a child's foot, she took hold of it, and succeeded in rescuing the child—Jane Mitchell. hi endeavouring to go into the room again to some one who called her she became insen sible, and knew nothing of what had occurred until she found herself lying at the front door below. Witness cor roborated Mr. Carr as to there Wog in the schoolroom floor a number of clothes, and also some bonnets, shawls, ltc., in the cupboard. The articles were there at half-put four, when witness was in the room, on the previous afternoon, Candles and matches ware not allowed to the inmates. Maurioe Power, superintendent of the parochial vagrant sheds, spoke chiefly as to the state and position in which four teen of the children were discovered, stating that they ap peared to have been first suffocated, and then scorched by the Am and they lay as though they were asleep. A polio, officer named Bushby was next examined as to the step taken on the discovery of the fire. His evideoes, however, was not material. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Major Greig, head constable of Liverpool, who was next examined, said that when he arrived at the scene of the Are, about 3 a.m., he found that the supply of water from the hydrants was weak, and that in consequence of the low pressure (the building is situate on very high ground), the water could not be thrown direct from the hose u high se the windows of the dormitory. Mr. J. Hewitt, superintendent of the Liverpool Fire Brigade, corroborated this evidence. during * the time that be (tbe porter) was so copra, he said on the previous evening be had bad a spree with two lades, but as he was so engaged be beard the police coming, so he had to rim away. Rawley, the railway porter at the Chalk Farm 'taloa, was here called. He admitted having bees to the Adelaide Tavern the day after the assault to have his dinner, but he positively denied that he bad ever spoken about ha 'ring a spree with two ladies. Two men named Webster and Jokes, who happened to be at the tavern at the time, swore positively that Hawley, during the period be was engaged taking his dinner, did say be had had a spree the over-night with some women. The jury at once stopped the owe and acquitted the prisoner. SURREY SESSIONS. The jury returned ► verdict of " Accidentally suffocated." with a presentment on the insufficient pressure and supply of water. (Baton Mr. Bowan, Q.C.) THE SUICIDE OF A LUCENT= MAGISTB.A72.—It has already been stated that Mr. J. F. Hollings, banister-at law, mica Monday found dead is his bed-room, at Leicester, is a manner which left no doubt that he had committed 'suicide. An inquest was held on the body last Monday evening, and the jury returned a verdict--" That the deceased was in an unsound state of mind when he put an end to his existence by strangulation." The deceased ens editor of the Leicester Mercury daring a period of seven years. A MAN STABBED BY A BOY. —At the Manchester Pollee Court, on Tuesday, Timothy Donelly, • cadaverous looking lad, wee charged with stabbing a labouring man, named James Eager. The prisoner gave his age as 13, and he certainly looks no older. He is • notorious young thief, and at the time of his apprehension he was taken from • number of young male and female thieves, who were all sleeping together in one of those receiving houses so nume rous in Manchester. From the evidence of a lad who was as eye witness of the occurrence, it would appear that on Monday evening the prisoner was standing with a group of girls in Oak-street, off Ancoateetreet, when the prosecutor passed by. One of the girls made some impudent remark, I and the man, turning back, struck her, and then walked on. The prisoner rushed after him, drew out and opened his clasp knife, and plunged it furiously into his abdomen. The man endeavoured to pursue the young ruffian, but beooniing exhausted he fell to the ground. He was assisted into a Cab, and taken to the Royal Infirmary. The wound was dreamed ; but • surgeon's certificate was handed to the magistrates, stating that the prosecutor was lying is a dan gerous condition. The prisoner muttered something in a adieu tone, and be was remanded till Tuesday next. ANOTHER STABBING CASE. —At the Preston Police. Court, on Tuesday, Roger Wallet, son of Mr. Walton, landlord of the Plough Inn, Friargate, was charged with having stabbed Mr. William Haysworth, master joiner and builder, Havelock Terrace, Preston. About 10 o'clock on Monday night. Mr. Haysworth was returning home, and called at the Bank Tavero, Moor-lane. Walton, who was there at the time, rose from his seat and knocked off Mr. Haysworth's hat. The prosecutor then knocked down his assailant, and afterwards proceeded home. He was fol lowed by Walton and two others, and when near Victoria. street Walton came up with him and deliberately drew a pocket knife and stabbed him under his left shoulder, causing • wound lg inch in depth. Haysworth in the struggle which ensued obtained possession of the knife, which he handed to a young man who came up. The pri soner, on being charged with the assault, repied, " Well, I'll nand it." Mr. Edwin Moore, surgeon, deposed to the serious character of the wound which had been inflicted, and said that Mr. Haysworth would not be able to leave his bed for some days. The prisoner was remanded for • week. A FPREHENBION OF A GANG OF BURGLARS. Within the mat few days no small alarm has been created in the neighbourhood of Bileton by the proceedings of a desperate gang of burglars. Among other residences they have visited and plundered have been those of Mr. Beech, of Bradley ; Mr. donee, Hall Green ; Mr. Griffiths, flbrop shire-row ; and Mr. Billings, Gospel Oak. Superintendent M'Crae lost oo time in putting himself on the track of the miscreants ; and on Monday, with the aid of Sergeants Heath and Bailie, succeeded in capturing John Mania, of Park-street, Liverpool, a returned convict ; Samuel Lee, of Bradley? James Ford, Sabrina Ford, James Creswell, Margaret Croswell, and Martha Dawson. They were charged, on Tuesday, at the police-court, before Mr. H. Ward, with housebreaking, and remanded until Friday next, when evidence will be adduced to show that portions of the property stolen from the places above-named were found upon them, and that they had disposed of other por tions in the town. That there are some audacious thieves in the town is further evident from the fact that while the landlord of one of the inns in the town and his wife were at their business in the bar on Monday evening, some thieves entered their bedroom and escaped with money and vain ables. —Birmingham Gazette. THE END OF • DRUNKEN BEA DLL —Last even ing Mr. Carter held an inquest in the board-room of Cam berwell Workhouse oa the body of Mr. John Storey, aged 50, who for several years was coroner's officer, and beadle of the parish of St. John's, Honelydown, and who had committed suicide through excessive drinking. A police man proved finding the body on Saturday morning an the Surrey Canal, near the Kent-road. There was no money, or any article of value found upon him. Mr. Woadmao, the coroner's officer, said be foetid • piece of paper in one of the deceased's pockets, upon which was written, " Good bye all. Jobo Storey, 5, John-street." Mr. John Storey, sou of the deceased, proved that he last saw him alive on Thursday night. He (deceased) had latterly given way to drink to excess, so much that be frequently seemed quite lost. Mrs . Kennedy, pew opener of St. John's Church, said that she bad noticed that Mr. Storey had latterly given way to drink even more than usual, and on some occasions he had gone home, and left the door of the vestry open, so that any one could get in. She believed be was out of his mind. The jury returned • verdict to the effect, that the deceased committed suicide while in a state of mental derangement, brought on by ex cessive drinking. Dammam WOMEN.—On Monday night Mr. Howson held an inquest at Whitehaven on the body of a woman named Elizabeth Laughlin. The deceased's husband said that when he went home on Saturday night he found her tying at the bottom of the cellar with her face cut. She was intoxicated. Carried her up stairs and placed her in a chair by the fire. She spoke in about an hour afterwards. Was not much a/armed, as he had frequently seen her in • similar state. Did not call any neighbours, because be did sot wish to expose her. Went into the greet again, having first locked her in, to keep her from getting more drink. Returned at about • quarter to one aod found her cloths on fire. She was badly burnt. Got her to bed, but she did not speak again until six o'clock, when she said, "Oh, Jew, lam had. She said this two or three times. She died at about eleven o'clock. The jury having beard the medical evidence, retuned a verdict of "Accidental death from eanmainioa at the brain, caused by falling down stairs while in • state of intoxication." The same inning Mr. Howson held an Minion on another woman named M'Mein, who was foiled drowned is • pond. She, shin, was deseribsel as • person of intemperate habits; but there was no withers to show how she came into the water. The jury therefore returned mower verdict. Danicl DecoMte, 48, a singular-looking man, was indicted for unlawfully and maliciously cutting and wounding John Taut, with a °hopper and butcher'. knife, at Newington. Mr. IClfeven prosecuted, and Mr. Lilley defended the prisooer. The prosecutor, a little man, whose head and left hand were bandaged up, and who ap peared to have been suffering severely from wounds, said he was in the employ of Mr. Glover, pork butcher, Widworth-road. Be bad known the prisoner some years as an imbecile, but always con sidered him to be harmless. About eight o'clock on the morning of the 26th ult. witness wee un loading his master's aid at the shop-door, and by some mewls he accidentally brushed against the misoner, who called out. " What did you do that for r and, follow ing him into the shop, took up a 71b. weight, with which he attempted to strike him. He avoided the blow by run ning into the back shop, where he remained until he was gone. About twelve at noon he brought some goods into the shop, when he saw the prisoner there again, but took no notice of him. The prisoner, however, on seeing him, snatched up a chopper, and Ouse it at him with consider able violence, striking him on the left arm but not with the sharp edge. The prisoner then seized t he: large knife, and rushed upon him, making several thrusts at him with it. Witness closed with him and threw him down, with the view of disarming him, but the pri soner used the knife with such dexterity as to wound him frightfully. He cut a piece off the top of his bead, part of his left ear, and when witness put his left hand up to protect himself be actually cut the ends of two of his hngers off. He aleo inflicted two deep gashes on the top of his head, and cut him on the left shoulder. Had not assistance come he would have muse dared him. Witness was carried to the hospital, and was still under medical treatment. Crose-examinal—Did not purposely run op against the prisoner with • pig, neither did be provoke him in the least. He joked with him as usual about his wife, sod that was all. William Bollard, another man in Hr. Glover's employ, gave corroborative evidence. Mr. Lilley then addressed the jury at some length for the prisoner, whose family connexions were highly respect able and who was well known to all the tradespeople and Inhabitants of the Walworth-road for his kindness and humanity. He should be able to show that be was sure: rated by Taut, and annoyed in such a manner as to provoke him to commit an act he would nos otherwise have done. Tim learned counsel called four witnesses, who mid that they sew the prosecutor excite the prisoner, and push him about on the morning in question. They mid he was in the habit of doing so, well knowing his weak intellect. A number of higbly respectable tradesmen came forward to speak on the prisoner's behalf, and The jury returned a verdict on the second count, for un lawfully wounding, recommending him to the mercy of the court. The Chairman observed that the jury had oome to a pro per verdict, and he should consider the recommendation by sentencing the prisoner to six months' imprisonment in the county gaol, where be would have the careful attention of the surgeon. THE POLICE COURTS. WEB MINSTER. Mr. Francis Boileau, of 16, Chester-street, Grosvenor place, was eumnioned p at the complaint of James Price, • cab driver, for refusiog to pay 3a, his legal fare. Complainant proved that on the Bth instant he drove two of defendant's servants, a child in arms, and six packages, from the Great Northern Railway to defendant's residence. Defendant, who with his wife bad ridden in another cab, then tendered him half.a.crowe, which he refused to take, as his fare was :is., being 2a for distance and Is. for the parcels, and he consequently summoned Mr. Boileau. Defendant's answer to the summons was that he did not consider the cabman was entitled to charge for the luggage, as it bad been held that a child In arms was not • person according to the interpretation of the act of parliament. Mr. Arnold said if Mr. Boilean's child was murdered by some one, he should then think it was a person, and have whoever had killed it apprehended. Mr. Boileau agreed with that; but be grounded his opinion upon a decision of II r. Tyrwhitt'a, that a child was not a person ; the decision, he believed, was given in May last. Mr. Arnold said if be remembered rightly, the question then was a mere question of faro, sad not of lug gage, arid he there agreed with Mr. Tyrwhitt, as it was his own opinion. He had also decided that where an adult and two children %leder ten years of age travelled in • cab, the driver could not charge for three persons. But this was a different affair altogether, as here there was luggage, and the words of the act were, "When more than two persons are carried inside any hackney carriage, with more luggage than can be carried inside the carnage, a sum of 2d. for every package carried outside the carriage as to be paid." The act did not say "two chargeable persons," but "two persons," and he had beforedecided that the child under these circumstances was a parson, an opinion shared in, he believed, by the majority of the London magistrates. That opinion he should maintain until it was upset by a superior court. He believed he read the act correctly but he should be glad to give Mr. Boileau a case fora h igher court in order to see whether his decision was correct or not. At present be thought he was right, and the defendant must pay the amount claimed, with costs. Mr. Boilean expressed himself perfectly satisfied with Mr. Arnold's decision; he had simply wished to try the question. - - - - Edward Sapoise, a foreigner, was charged with the fol lowing usault Thome Salter, conductor of • Wandsworth omnibus, rid that on Tuesday night the defendant entered his omnibus at Regentcircus and alighted at Sloa•e•street, where he tendered witness • two shilling piece, and received Is. Bd. change. He said the fare was only 3d., and demanded an other penny; upon which complainant showed him the table of fares, cod explained that the only threepenny fare was Charing.crou to the Bank. To this defendant made observation that it wu "all Bea" He then got into the omnibus again, declaring he would ride till complainant gave him the Id., but being told he would then have to pay more, got out again. Refusing to leave, • polies man was nailed, who also explained that he was wag, but he would not listen to anything, still declaring the table of fares was all -- lies. At length complainant moved on with his omnibus, when defendant pursued him, and struck him three blows on his bead with his umbrella, which he broke in the act Defendant was sober. i The prosecutor said he mot the prisoner about 12 at night in the Borough, when she asked him to treat Ler.

Carisbrook after proceeding 300 yards went to the front, followed by Bonny Breast Knot, Lady Alice Hawthorne, the Clarissa oolt, Bookstooe, Warminster, and the Marquis. The rear division consisted of Imperatrice, the Stockwell colt, and Canwell. Up the hill the pace was severe, but on reappearing, after a moment's absence from sight, the pace " settled" somewhat; and here Old Calabar, Lady Alice Hawthorn, a nd th e Stockwell colt were beaten. Approaching the wood side, Cariebrook increased his lead to a couple of lengths, his immediate attendants beiug Imperatrice, Exchequer, Buck stone, the Clarissa colt, Marquis, and Warminster, follow ing in the order named. Passing along the woodside, the rear division presented a remarkable tailing appearance. When they gained the Red House, the competitors, with the exception of Old Calabar, Lady Alice Hawthorne, and the Stockwell colt, whose riders had ceased to persevere, drew into closer order. Nearing the distance Cariabrook retired, and Warminster at the same time hung out signals of distress. The moment 34r.

At the Manchester Police-court, on Tuesday, Thomas Frederick Lambert and James Ctawshaw, two young men, apparently about 21 years of age, were charged with forging two cheques on Mere. Conliffe's bank. Ou the 11th of July, Lambert went into the public-house kept by Mr. Bailden, in lleanagate, and changed • cheque for 41.15.. 9d. The cheque bore the signature of Westhead and Co., but the handwriting, which was rather clever, was a forgery, and the firm in question knew nothing whatever of the transaction until subsequent inquiries were made by the police. The bankers detected the forgery, and Mr. /Widen was detained until he had satisfied Mr. Maybury, superintendent of the Manchester detective police, as to bow he had become possessed of the cheque. On the 26th of July the prisoner Crawahaw entered the shop of Mr. Lockwood, bookseller and stationer, Shudehill, representing that be was • clerk in Messrs. Hculdswotth's mill, and asking for a quantity of small silver to pay wages with. The prisoner acted so artfully, and talked about the warehouse in such • natural 11111111)1117, that Mr. Lockwood entertained no suspicions as to the swindler with whom he had to deal. The prisoner presented • cheque for 81. ss. 9d. on Messrs. Cunliffe's bank, ob serving that his employers had that day given him • number of cheques to cub. The prisoner re ceived the money in small change, and coolly pat it into a couple of canvas bags, which he had io bra band, after the manner of clerks. The cheque was pre sented at the bank the same day, and the forgery was at once detected. The prisoner had never had anything to do with the firm whose name he used. The prisoner Lam bert was taken into custody on Monday, ia Hudders field, by Sergeant Bateman, of the Manchester detective force ; and on the journey to Manchester he made a state ment which implicated the prisoner Crawshaw, who was apprehended in dueeourse. It had since transpired that Crawshaw stole four blank cheques from his father's &aqua book, two of them being identified as thou which had been forged. Lambert, in his defence, stated that he was one day going along Piccadilly, and met Crawahaw, who, after asking him if he were out of work, told him be wall short of money and wanted • cheque changed. He (Lambert) made mime reply, and Crawshaw offered him one.balf of the amount if be would go somewhere and cash it. He accordingly went into the witness Etaiklen's house, and procured change. Crawshaw denied these statements, and seemed particu larly anxious to prove that Lambert had persuaded him to steal the cheques and forge them. Mr. Ellison said that neither of these defences would hold good; both prisoners must go before a jury. They were accordingly committed. CRYSTAL PALACE.
