Notwithataading that tee air was exteeniely demand oppres wive, the ride through the " perk" was as enjoyable as ever, and the only drawbect was the dust, which rose is cloud: from the ism must teethe. The course probably never per , seated a mate charming a.spect,:iod the " Witte lawn " was in peaces:on of that irresistibie form which has stormed it so successfully on many previous meiverseries. Just prior to the first ramielnimbeoce were laid oat, fie the moat approved pie-sic principles, " under • the trees," and the lower end of the enclosure represented a large private party rather than, an moisten of public racing. The first event, a handicap =dower the Craves Gonne (1 toile 2 furloogs), was can- fee by five only of the seventeen on the owl, Man- I .

The Drawierroom Stakes was anticipated with some der. e of earioeity, as Gladiateur was among the " &oared* lot, aid although many imagined that tue race would be • a walk over for him, he was opposed by Lowdown and Princess of Wales.

In 181;1 he told his wife to shift for bersef, end left thi country. Proof of adultery having been given, The court made a decree nisi, with coats. repairs at Staplehuret, and that be had directed the removal of some of the rails, sad while the bee was in this imperfect condition this • estimate train from Folkestone come up, arid in consequence of the state of the line the train mu toppled over a bridge, into a Gook beneath, mad a large number of pratome were seriously injured, end eight or nice lost their lives. It was nut secee.sary for bile to ray that upon such an asci dealt occurring it became the duty of the company to int-- tote the most rigid inquiry as to the cause of it, and the result they arrived at was that the melancholy occurreum was entirely to be attributed to the neglect of the prisooer liege. The ems, notwithstanding Re very serious eltaracter, appeared to him .to be .in reality a very simple cos, They were . all aware that there were upon the South Eastern Medlway certain trains every day that' were galled tidal trains, and the hour at which they started from Folkestone depended upon the tide awl the time of the arrival of the boat ; and the time was chaeged almost every day. It WY °bikini under these circumstances , that it was the ditty of every person connected with the railway, or who had any thing to do with the repairs of the 'line, to take oars that thereehould be no obstruction or impediment at any period when a train was expected to come up, and to make himself perfectly well acquainted with the time at which a train might be expected. With this object a variety of rules had bees framed by the company, giving the fullest information as to the arrival of the trains, and it appeared to him that these rules and regulations were amply sufficient for the purpose of preventing any accident, and that it was entirely owing ei the prisoner having neglected to conform to thee. regulations that this melancholy accident had taken place ; and if be should establish this fact to their satisfaction, it would be their duty to convict the prisoner of the ammo of which be was accused. It appeared that on the day in question the tidal train loft Folhestone about half-past 2 o'clock, and was due at Heedeorm which was the previous station to titaplehurst, at 3.15 p.m., and it was doe at the spot when the accident happened at 3.19 ; and it /warned that at this period, owing to the stets of the tide, the time would be the urns ea the Bth and 9th of June for the arrival of the train, but on the following day the train would not have arrived until 5.20 p.m. A book in which were the times of the starting and arrival of the trains was given to every person who had anything to do with the working of tholine, in which not only the days of the month but the days of the week were distinctly stated. This book was given to the prisoner Bungs, and it was found in his pos. 1101111i01) when he was apprehended, and he believed there would be no doubt that the amident arose from the pre 'goer having carelessly looked at this book, and seeing that the tidal train lied lamed on the previous day at 3.15, be had looked to the following column without looking st the date or day of the 'Death, and imagined that the train would not arrive until 5.20, and, acting upon this impression, he ordered the work to be commenced, and so caused the melancholy accident. The learned serjeant then read the nth to which he had referred, awl said that as an additional precaution for the safety of the public this rule direct d that before any of the rails were re moved, or the line rendered unsafe, it was the duty of the person engaged in such a week to seed • man up the lute wish • signet to a distance of one thousand yards, and that he should also place fog, or detonating signal., as they were termed, on the way, at of two hundred and fifty yards. Them were probably all the precautions that could possibly be taken for the Prevention of accident and be should show that the prisoner had neglected to cemply with any of them. He did not think that the slightest doubt would trim as to the cause of the accident or the is which it occurree, and also that it arose from the primate having mistake's the hour at which the tidal train would arrive, and that he expected it would not arrive note! 5.20. He lionght it was dce to the prisoner to state that he did not appear to have made any attempt at concealment, and that he expressed the utmost sorrow for the accident; bat when the number of liven that might be endangered by neglect of this kind was taken into consideration, and the terrible consequence.; that must Deriessarily occur from any neglect of duty on the pert of the persons connected with a railway, he was sore that the jury would not allow any feeling of sympathy to operate upon their judgment, and that if they believed that the prissier was proved to have neglected those precautions which the rules required him to OXPlteillil, they would perform their duty to the public by returning a verdict of guilty. A number of transoms were then examined for the prosecution, and their evidence in the main supported the cam as it had been stated by the harried counsel for the prosecution. A man named Wills, who was employed as a iignalonan, stated that he went with a signal up the line to a distance of 550 yards, for the purpose of stopping an ape riiachieg trait) but in cross-amminatios said that he did not do this ley the orders of the prisoner Bone, but en his own amount. And be also stated that in his opinion if the . persons in charge of the "Mill bad paid attentive to his sepal, or bad seen it, they might have , stopped the train before it arrived at the spot when the acci dent happened. It also appeared that although the prisoner Bongs was a sort of superior officer is the operation that was going on, he was only paid a guinea • week, while those to whom he gave the orders were paid thirty shillings per week. A man named Crombie, who was omaged as the driver of the inch* of the tidal train, but Who had been disobargee sloes the seeded. admitted that he saw the danger signal, but he said that it was not more than a Imo r and fifty verde from the spot where the accident hap pened, and although he immediately gave a signal to pat on the breaks, it was impoonble to bnng the twain to a staudatill at that short . It was elicited ;deo that when the tie' . sled the Headcorn @Lathe the all-right signal • displayed, i rises. and they pureed that station at the rate of :A/miles an hour ; but it appeared that even at that pace if a signal had bees given at a diadem:se of 1,000 yards filen the bridge the train might have been stopped and the accident vented. It also appease I that when the prisoner was by Mr. Eborall, the minag . er of the railway, how th Meat hap pened, he replied, ' Why, to tell you the trot h , k, sir, I mis took the time, and looked at the Battu y train instead of the Friday." The hook referred tom a the opening by Serjeaut Ballantine was found in his pocket. Evident* was also given that the prisoner had been formerly maployed as a signsl-mac, and that be was well aware that it was his duty to have sect a man with • danger signal a distance of a thousand yards at any time when he was engaged in repairing the line. Mr. Ashcroft, the engineer of the line, said that he had boon acquainted with the management of railways for 25 years, and that the work that was to be performed on this occasion could have been completed in an hour, and the line would have been perfectly side. He also expressed An opinion that if the danger-flag had been exhibited at • dis tance of &id yards the engine-driver ought to have seen it at a distance of a thousand yards further off. if he had kept a good look out He also expressed as opinion that at this distance the train might have been stopped, but ho said this was a question that depended epee the break power and the state of the line. Mr. Ribtoo, at the close of the case for the prosecution, submitted that there was no evidence for the jury to show that any act of the prisoner mused the meloocholy accident that had taken place, and that, according to the evideoce of Mr. Ashcroft, nod some of the other witnesses, the accident would not hay,r happened if the engine -driest bad dons his duty and atteeded to the signal. Baron Pigott said it was no answer to a charge like the present to say that other persons than the one accused had contributed to the eiral occunence. The principal point , ageing the prisoner was that he had ordered the rails to be l i d I taken up at a time when he ought not to have done so, as cording to the time-table that WAS furnished to him, and that this was the cause of the melancholy occurrence that had taken place. . Mr. Ribton, in the comae of a most able adhere to the jury, said he could not deny that the railway eorcpaoy, by the regulations they had made, appeared to have done all in their power to endeavour to protect the public, but the ques tion was whether the prisoner had been guilty of a cri minal act which had rendered Lim amenable to • ..charge of manslaughter, and he should cookeid that all that had been proved whist him was that he bad by an accident made a mistake, and looked at the Satur day's time for the arrival of the train, Instead of Frieay's. Re then proceeded to argue that it was clear from the em. i : tisane, that if the signal-mats bad dime his duty is going the distance of a thrusand yards, and if be had placed the fog signals upon the lion. and the engine-coo bad kept a good look-out, the accident would not have happened. The learned counsel went on to soy thst the prisoner had a good ground for complaining that be alone had been singled out as a scapegoat elvtdeuce that had been given with regard do ' t of the signal man and AI the eogiee.driver, e mid. as it appeared to him, were quite as yed in the tranisction as the pri. i toter. He licit proomede.l et colliderable length to argue 'that the accident tees just as mull to be attributed to the ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. --.— HOME CIRCIIIT.—M•coarow; Jcwir N. (Before Baron Pigott.)

The evidence whist him principally consisted of the testimony given by Mr. Johnson, which was to the offset that the letter sad the forged cheque were in the handwriting of the Kamer, and it also appeared that he was undoubtedly at Paris at the time the offence was coita -1 mitted. _ _ - - -.- - Mr. Addison made a most feeling appeal to the jury in beludf of the prisoner, sod be urged that the evidence es to the handwriting of the forged instrument being his was not sufficiently conclusive, and that, having regard to his youth aid good character, there was sufficient doubt in the cam to justify them in acquitting him. The jury, after considerable deliberat:oa, returned a sir dictof Na Quiltg. _ _ . The learned Judge, addressing the prisoaer, said be hoped that what had taken place would be a warning to him for the rest of his life. - - --- THE POLICE COURTS.

Eight or woe of them were on dressed, and had been bathing, and some were in the water. The prisoner was standing fielded one of the boys, who was undressed. sod gave him a push which sent him into the water. The tide was running very strong, sad he was car ried away, and sank almost immediately ; and before wit ness could gel his things off or say assistance could be got the lad was completely out of sight. John Kay, one of the lads who were as the steps at the time, saw the prisoner push the boy in. The deceased, he said, was in the water at the time the prisoner pushed him, ,amPlie thought it seemed dose by way of • lark. The body of the boy has not been recovered. WV, prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL. - - - John Milton, • respectably-dressed man, described u a ladies' shoemaker, was ebarled before Mr. Alderman Allen with incision the death of Mr. William Vernon, by stalking him oa the face with his net.

Yesterday he was in good health, and read much. The roost of his time is takes up in reed ing the Bible and religious books. He reads much himself, but he also makes frequent appeals for readings to Ore of the day warders, to stone he bee peatieularly attached him self, and who attends moat essiduously to the wishes of the convict. Dr. Pritchard was yesterday visited by the Rev. Dr. Norman Macleod and the gprieon chaplain, the former of whom smash:ad with the unfortunate man for "bout an boar. Notwithstanding the terms of the sentence, which stated that he was to be fed oa bread and water, Dr. Pritchard is not so limited in his diet. He has been very kindly attesded to since his arrival in Glasgow, is consequence of his weakly etate of health after removal from the prison of Edinburgh. The authorities have cornmeetmed to make arrinicemente for the execution, which takes place on Friday. Every cars which human thought end foresight can suggest is being adopted to make the dread spectacle pass over with all due decorum. To accommodate the vast crowds which no doubt will assemble on the owe sloe, and to remove objects which would be unseemly and not et all iu keepieg with the solemn and awe-in spiring sena, the authorities have given order that all the •shows ' which have been standing on the Green for' sterna time past be removed be to-night. Yettenh.y the • 'bowmen ' commenced to take down their temporary @centimes, *ad towards evening the Green had in s great measure resumed its ordinary appearance, only some of the larger buildings; remaining." An co casiontl correspondeet of the Edisburgh Daily Re view writes :-- •It was generally reported is Glee w yesterday (Monday), that Pritchard was very mock depreaed and cut op on Sunday. This is considered to have arisen from the feeling on his :Died that it was his last Sabbath on earth, and that the balls were weeding Ia his ears for the last tepee. On Monday be was more com posed, end slept well, according to his owe account, during I s h e night. He was engaged writing 1. tiers to his d.angliter, brother,and other relatives, being the fi rst he has penned lis prison. It is stated, also, that he ham made a request to be allowed to address the . people from the scaffold. No answer haa, however, been men ; and many people seem to feel that owing to his utitruthfulness this would be • dam ! serous privilege to grant, ludas he previously committed his remarks to writing. Applications are still pearls( is for the i office of executioner—some persons volusteesieg to pay all • their expenses." THE CHARGE OP ATTEMPTED POISONING AGAINST A HURGION.—After the despatch of our parcel from Ash • button yesterday, Mr. Robert Gordo Tucker, solicitor, two dured the marriage settlement, which gave Mr. Sprague a life interest in certain property if he survived his wife, his father- is -law, and mother-in-law. Mr. Carter, for the de- I teems, contended, in the first place, that it had not been satisfactorily proved that poison was found in the pie ; secondly, that if poison was put into it there had bseo no , evidence to show that it was does by the prisoner. He also maintained that it was not only a very unnatural act err the prisoner to poison his wife end other relatives, but there was se absence of a l :z a nily* whatever. He there orishoped the , beach would d the prisoner. In cage, however, they did commit him for tri he might add that be was prepared to offer even a better &fence to the charge than he bad tendered them. As a committal would seriously affect the prisoner's position in life hereafter, he hoped the beach I would consider the matter before they seat the cue to the I amazes. The bench, after a short comideration, committed the prisoner for trial at the ensuing assizes, offering to accept bail, the prisoner In 1,0001., sad two onetime( SUM. each.

TSB MOTU WATS. OP AMERICA V. Pilotage. This was a tootles to restrain the defentlaat Paolean (a Cloefederate agent) and others from parting with or die of . a freight of cotton, cossistieg of 1,500 or thereabouts, which had bean shipped from Haves- Bah per the Arline, to be turned into money for the pan poses of the late rebels, and which was now lying in the Money Company's docks,• at Liverpool. The plaintiffs claimed the property so the lawful governors of the United States. The defeadaote, Witted that their title as sue armful runners of the blockade was a good ova, sod that even if it were not, the title of the United State• wee sub ject to the rights hi ties cotteo of Prioleau, who :dined that be was a Meer of 20,0001. end upwards by the Coa federates. The Attorniv-General, Mr. Molt, Mr. Gifford, Mr. Joules, Mr. Robinoon, Mr. Aniphlott, and Mr. North worn in the case. The Vice-Chauoellor was deafly of opinion that the plaintiffs were entitled to the cotton in question ; but whe• Aber or not subject to the agreement between the defunct government and Mr. Prieleau wan • more serious question. The transaction was • transaction between • government de facto and the citizen of • oouutry not connected with' the belligerents. In the first place it was for the court to see to whom the cotton belonged at the time when the transaction was entered upon. Upon the evidence it could not be doubted but that it was the property of the so-called Confederato States. It was the produce of moneys contri buted to and levied am taxes by the goverement of those States. It was not the property of any individual Slate of America ; if it lied been, the peculiar constitution i.f the United States in this respect might have led to difficult questions. Bat it was plain that the mousy which produced the cotton was levied in more than ow State, and was the of the government of the revolted C Confederation.ortt. y be considered was this—what was that govern ment ? It was not • mere band of marauders; not • set of persons plundering • country and living upon the plunder they levied. It was an actual, ade facto "government," exercising authority and reoeivieg submisaioo as such. It had now come to an end, and its functions been resumed, and its authority suppressed, by the plaintiffs. What was the law applicable to this state of thing.? It could not be doubted for • moment. International law—the consent of all civilised nations—had mottled beyond dispute that when •de facto government came to an end, and was succeeded by another government, the properly of the de facto go vernmert passed to its successors. But then arose the question, did sot the successors take such property bound by the agreements, soil a ff ected by the equities of their predecessors' Subject to any argument which might be adduced on the hearieg of the cause, it clearly appeared that the successors were so bound. It had been attempted to be set up in answer to this, that the defendants bad taken the property with full knowledge that the Confederate goverment were rebels, and of the rights of the United States, and must be bound by the knowledge that the United Stake were the lawful governors of the so-called Confederate territory. But this proved too much. If it were correct, the United States might at any time during the war have filed a bill to restrain the departure, sad for obtaining possession of any vessel which as • pri vateer was acting the part of a pirate as against the United Stales, whenever such vessel happened to be in any port of the Milted Kingdom. The argument overlooked the fact that the government which had sent this cotton was de facto • government, and not a men band of banditti. Here, again, the argument over reached itself, for the rights against such banditti would not be in the United Staten as a governmeut, but in the private individuals whose property bad been plun dered. Clearly, therefore, as at present advised, the plaintiffs must take this cotton subject to the agreement between the late government and the defendant Priebe's. But upon that agreement much queNtioo might arise. The expense' of transit should come out of the amount, bat beyond this them was much question. One half the residue appeared pretty certainly to be the'property of the defunct government under the agreement, and of course that would pass to the plaintiffs. As to the other half, more question attached. All these questions, however, were matters for determination at the hewing, and the court had nothing to do now but to take care that, cossidering the large amount at stake, the plaintiffs were held harmless. The value of the cotton in round numbers appeared to be about 40.0001., and the order would be, therefore, that Mr. Prioleau be appointed re ceiver In the 0111410 (which would enable biiii to dispose of the cotton and pay all proper charges, Sc.), he either giving security for AOOO/., or paying that amount into court, as he might think fit, before the seooud day of next term.
