TO Wit =MOS or tuns NIYINIML 811., --So We are to have another " re-opened'' ease, sad Clextoe is to become em great a hero in the eyes of theeniaats as ever Tomato was s heroine, simply becalms as turf lawyer esa be found to watishetorily expound the wit oode of rules forded for the gnidaoce ef the betting fraternity. Altogether, this scratchy disputa brings pro airway before the world a very pretty pre of turf essadsi, and the following history of Olazton himself points a moral for the guidance of the uninitiated, if It does wet rattly "adorn a tide." After a fair two-reread career this hero is sold, runs so badly the next session on three do 0•1102 d that everybody jumps to We orclusios be is being "roped," and lung be:writhe publication of the weights be is or of the proluicent favourites for a Cesarewitah. Just on the eve of thor publication, however, be is resold (for I think 1,2001.) to Lord St. Varied, who, to his direst, dads bile more troublesome end a wore bargain then a live eleptrost Gould have been, for be triune sod rasa him add heartily sick of the horse, he having woo nothing but a Rubs race at Wye from a trio of leather flappers or lame 'nee that would be dear eta "pony " each. But he re.olves upon 'values one more trial, sod then to part company if disappointed agais ; and the handioapper for the Cerra field Cap at Goodwood having lot him in at list 21b, he rode him the toit fur that, previously, however, tripe offered 100& for the horse if he lost. He did as is well known ; still, after the race, a party,' who subsequently tuned out to be meting Jr his lordship's trainer, was chmitable rough to buy Claxton for 123 f. " for a lady's hack." This was le the afternoon of the 20th of July. Then, on the 30th, Lord St. Vincent declared forfeit for all his eueagemente (being liable to pay the forfeits for them, or the full stakes if the here reused lost), which he dal not sell with the horse. A few days afterwards all the sporting papers saner*e the decimation ; and yet as the Bth of August, the Primer, p resenting to or of the Huntingdon stewards that he bought the horse with his engagement., is allowed to start him for the Huntiagdoushire Star, mitred for before the scratchiog. These be won, me is well known, bet most un expectedly, rhe beat the very borer, Re lie, to whom be ran " nowhere " at Goodwood in his last effort to remain in the precision of Lad St Vincent. Tue objection, its deferred 'settlement, the issothd Aboute about the bete after the disqualification, and the ilimmisfaction almost generally exposited at the decision that the backers of the wincing horse, Suspicion, were not to het choir money, era facts that do not need re espitulalion • but I may mention that while the first die. pure Ira pe nding, and it was evident there would be "row " about the beta bowerer the stakes west, the trainer wrote to his employer, ryieg, "You have osly to say you mold him with his engagements, and everything would be settled." And yet the champions of the Claxton backer (or rather ot bookmakers, for it is their tight, as not cue hacker in a hundred would have thought of the horse beating !'.admire after Goodwood, bad he been in the race, sod it is merely a question whether they pay over Snapieicie or " thin the lamb") can perceive • difficulty as to who mud be believed on the point of the horse tend sold with his engagements or not! It is plain that the Huutingdon stewards were deceived, and that Lord St. Vincent did not sell the horse to his trainer at all ; but this fact had no weight with the parties de cidine the question of het., the interests of which see separated from those of the stakes, because there is • rule stmnleting that, " If an objection be made to the qualifica tion of a horse on the ground of incorrect pedigree or nomi• nation toter the rare is ran, the bets shall go to the horse that mute in first, provided he is of the right age and not otherwise disqualified by the laws of racing." As to how the ease will eventually be settled, it is about h to 4 on the Claztooitr, for it ie startiag—or rather fol lowlog up—a very bad precedent to reconsider dispense after they are ones decided, and os this ground alone, many will stand by Messrs. Westnion , laud, G. Payee, and Admiral Rout The question all binges upon the interpretation of the italicised words gored above, sod whether Claxton was disqualified on the ground of being incorrectly itemiser& Literally, he was not "incorrectly somicatect," aud it is for the full court at Tattersall*, to do ✓& whether the rule shall be read literally or io the spirit. It *notate% we eau get at the spirit of a law • but is this iastauce the very framer of the rule, Admira l Roos (who drew up the code of laws for theguidancie of bettors) avers that it wan intended to apply to such a Cale as the one wider discussion, and under the o:caterers* it will be hard to upset the first decision. Of course, Lord St. Vin cent and his trainer have split; but this is nothing to create sorprir, a far more startling split having takeu place in the north, as Lord Car goes% who appeared to have settled down to John soott after his many thither, resolved to take all his horses away from Whitewall the moment White Duck was beaten for the Yorkshire Oaks. Had his lordship waited, soil seen Whir Duck's mistress, Kim inska, win the Great Yorkshire Stakes us addition to that event, he would thought of such a course, but joined in the general praises of the Wizard foe the wonderful change he so suddenly effected in what was always looked upon as a very moderato filly. Rimiest* wee decidedly the beroir of the late Yogi Auger meeting, her defeat of Broomielaw over the • Leger distance being so easily effected that to say she is not one of the duagerous claim ants for the forthcoming Doecester be downright insanity. She heat Night Watch quite as easily as Breadaloase did at Goodwood, and Airier ee easily as that worthy did at Ascot ; sod as Peeress lest her at Goodwood, and Lambed ran up to his Two Thousand form for the tint time at York, whilst the Duke is reported all r;ght again, we shall have a St. Leger worthy of the mule after a ll, with Gladiateur, Regalia, Archimetivs, Christnets Cad, Attaché, and several others to cope with the aboth in the field. The two-year-old runs at York, in despite of the abettor of Student, Lord Lyon, Monarch of tit., Glen, &e., were mod exciting ; and Mr. Pitt me the great horse he showed himself when overthrowing Robin Hoed et Newmarket. Their &Mtge-compares, leads, did bean, if there was any differeeccin their two perfornmocie, as the beet &radiomen, Yespadas sad Augusts quite as easily as Mr. Pitt did Slue Kihrind sad Chitral and if a daughter of Fierce can be made to stay, she do more for Danebury next season than Siberia (her half sister) has done this. Mr. Pitt is not in the Derby or Two Thousand, having started the present season, singalarly, without a solitary three-year-old esigagemeot ; but be will he all the more &rigorous at Newmarket in consequence, and Jolts Day can give him a thorough preparation for the Hopeful (wherein he has Sib extra), and also for his engages meat armee: Student and Robin Hued in the second beat of the Troy Stakes, this pair having each logics hint 41b. The excellence of the two and throe year oat racing sustained the prestige of the York August me-ting, fully competed tag for the many walks over ' • and the half dozen • fix tures " for toe current week do net isomprise one that can Lear any comparison with it, plating being the rule and a grand race the exception. If there are any events to take pace that can assume importanos, we must look to the Two-year Old Stakes at Exeter, Ischia, Beelzebub, and Robin Hood being is the Greet Devonshire Produce Stakes, and Mezeppe, Ile Pitt, Magician, Longtime, sod Beelzebub in the liambeed ; but I do not expect to see more than or " crack " run for each event, and Robin Hood may bs left to the first, with Larissa' sad Mazappa to the second.

The moot surprising feature of the afiernooe wu that, desftte then apectableattendanoe, ntimeriodly, the amount of epecalation on future ascots was so very small.

The outrage was oommitted on the night of Saturday last, and the prosecutor, whose fees was • miss of bruises, now said that be had just crawled down to the court, Whig bound to attend and prosecute, brat her felt unable to remain. finfficieut evidence was, however, taken to show that while returning to his home in Saniusl.strest he saw the prepormaand another uses, sot is custody, grossly ill nate( • perms with whom he bad some slight acquaintance. He desired them to desist, upon which the 'meatier struck him with his fist in the face. A struggle awned ; both fell, and thee the other man deliberately kicked him in the hoe, end ran away. Although scarcely able so see, he shortly after wept in search of his assailants, and, unfortunately, found the prisoner maces a mob of the most desperate characters he had ever sees collected. The prisoner rushed at him, inflicted another terrible blow on his face, and this was followed by an onslaught from the whole gang, who beat him over the whole of his body. Life preservers were the principal weapons, and but for some persons forcibly palling him into the passage of a house his HU must have been sacrificed. A certificate from Mr. Alexaider Champueys was heeded to the magistrate. It stated that Mr. Pickering was safferlnt sa from bruises over the whole of his head, his body, and lim aid that erysipelas wee rotting Is. 107 Hdeposed that he took the prisoner into custody the previous night at a publiabouse.

From the evidence of Mr. Munn, It appeared that about half .put eight o'clock on Saturday saucing be was proems& log homewards, when ho was followed by the prisoner, who was an entire stranger to him, and who, without the slight est provocation, struck him • violent blow cc the back of the head, the effect of which was to throw him prostrate on his face, and while on the around be kicked him with great severity and considerable brutality. Hs was released by some bystanders, when the prisoner cootrived to escape, but was ultimately secured on another charges. Polieecoostable Brows, 206 M, proved that he was on duty near Lovegrove-street, in the Old Keetroad, when a man complained to him that he bad been attacked by the prisoner, who had bit his thumb with extreme severity ; that man did not now appear to siren the charge, but from the deveription he had mewed from Mr. Munn, the wit ness detained the prisoner for the assault cis that send. man. OD taking him into custody the primmer close d apes bin., threw him down, and kicked him violently on the spine and in the lower part of the abdomen, and it required the amistanos of several constables to rioavey the prisoner to the poliowststion. The witasss added that he was still suffering great pais from the injuries he bad received. The prisoner put in the usual plea that be was very drunk, and was wholly unconscious of what had occurred. He did not keen Mr. Mune, and therefore could not eater. tale any animosity towards him. Mr. Woolrych remarked that the prisoner had clearly been guilty of two most wanton sad brutal assaults, sot confined to mere blows, but extending to outraosons kicking. It had been suggested that he had severely bit the thumb of a third prey, but as the complainant did sot appear he dismissed that complaint from his consideration. For the assaults proved, the prisoner, without the option of • tine, must be committed for six weeks' hard labour. COMMITTAL OP A CHIN'S? AND DRUGGIST FOR MANSLAUGHTER. HOCK, BRIGHTON, MeI:MAT. This morning, Mr. Richard Noakes, a druggist, in Northrareet, Brightoe, a man of the very highest Teepee tability, soul a members of the Society of Prieusla,was taken in custody raider a inseirarate's warrant, and charged before Mr. C. Carpenter, Mr. Montagu Scott, Mr. Marge, Mr. Hurlock, and Mr. Young, with raving caused the death of Mr. Thomas Bye, of Landsdown.plsee, by accidentally substituting tincture of aconite for tincture of halberts is a bottle test to him to be refilled. Mrs. Boys, widow of deoeeacd—My husband way 81 years of age. About • mouth ago, in cossequeoce of his in firmity. Dr. Dill prey ribed for him 30 drops of heehaw., to be taken oorasioeally. Yesterday week he went to bid at 11 o'clock, alter resdieg, as was his mestere. He said ho wee afraid be should not be able to sleep, and that he would therefore take a dose of henbane. lie took • bottle out of his medicine chest, held it up to the light, and counted out 30 drops, which be pat into a rummer. He then told me to till up the glass with camphor julep. I did so, sod be took the drought. About ten minutes afterwards he said be thought a little weut the wrong way, and that it felt hut. A gainer of ao hour later he jumped up in bed and said his heads and legs felt benumlsed, and he hoped that N mikes had sent the right stuff. I said, " Then 1 bad better rand for some one." He said, " No, ra have no one disturbed at this time of the morning." He sat up in the bed and looked st the bottle again. Holiest{ it up to the light, he said, " It's all right." Half an hour or an hour afterwards he said be felt very sick. I got up, called my servant, and desired her to get some warm water. I gave him • tumbler of it, and it produced violent attempts at retching. All the inmate, of the house then got up, and I again wauted to seed for • surgeon, but lie said, in very decisive topes, " No. Let some one go in the morning, but not before 6." He desired that Mr. Noakes might be informed that he had been very ill all night, and that the bottle should be sent to him, a smell quantity being first poured out to be retained. He then lay down apparently to sleep. In about five wields; I went to the aide of the bed and put my arm round his lawns •ad asked, " Are you asleep!" He did not reply ; he Dever spoke again. At a quarter to five I knew be was dead. In reply to the Bench, Witness said that on the Friday, or a day or two before, she took the bottle in question with another to Mr.:it:ekes' shop, put them on the counter, mad desired that they might be tilled and sent home in the evening. She did not re member who was in the shop. She was 10 the habit of taking or madras the bottles to be refilled. A night or two before Sunday deranged put the bottle marked " fleabane" into the medicine chest. One bottle was marked " hen bane," the other " liniment." Cross-examined by Mr. Merrifield, for the prisoner —De °eased had had aconite prescribed for him; but I never saw it. It was procured I think from Noakes's &hop. lie took the henbane °sly occasionally. Deceased always sent his own bottlee for his mediciue. The present proem:digs are not taken at the instigation of myself or any member of my family. Mr. Charles Harrison.i M.R.0.5., said—The deceased had suffered from been disease upwards of fifteen years. After hearing the evidence, I am of opinion that the cause of death was disease of the heart. Heubase alleviates that disease, and it is & poison ; &curate is a still stronger poison, and it also alleviates the disease. Would give so opinion that deceestel, feeling more distressed than ordinarily, took the atrouger poison. I cronot say whether the death (which I reiterate was caused by heart disease) was accelerated by taking sonnite. Dr. Byron Phillips, who had made • post mortem, was examined at great length es to the tuxological properties of aconite, or the active principle of somata. lie could not say whether in the present rase it h►d had anything to do with the death, though he inclined to the opinion that it bad. The question was not tree from doubt, sot knowing the previous condition of the deceased or the precise stiengtu of the tincture. By the Bench—Thirty drops of aconite taken by such a man as deceased would h►ve an injurious effect, through the nervous system. I should not recommend aconite, even as an external application. Mr. Carpenter—We have heard that you haw had some oonversetioa with Mr. Noakes. Witness—lmmediately I had seen the body I wad► to Mr. Noakes, and told him what had occurred. He was very much affected, and Pearly tainted. I asked who filled the bottle. The accused replied, "I am afraid I did it myself." Cross-examined by Mr. Merrifield —Mr. Noakes has always borne the character of as excessively careful man. The bodiless was a large and old-established era, and never heard of a mistake in connection with it. He is the most careful man in Brighton. After some further evidence, Mr. Merrifield addressed the bench on babel( of the se cused. This was one of the cases which philosophers told us would occur, spite of all possible care, from the doctrira of average s. It was by no means clear that the aconite even accelerated the death of the old geotletnat. The prosecu tion was not instituted by the family of the deceased map, mid those who had experience in maize Wish could predict with absolute certainty that the sympathy of judge and jury in such • case would lead to au acquittal. He therefore called on the magistrates not to inflict on the accused the annoyance and Inconvenience of s committal for trial, which could never end in • oonvictior., and which was not called for by public policy. After & brief 000aultation &wog the magistrates, Mr. Carpenter said the msgietrates regretted that they felt themselves called npoa to send the ease to a jury. It might be that the case would end in an acquittal, but the magistrates thought it one that mast be sifted is &Pother mark Of coarse bail would be accepted, the accused la 2004. and two sureties in 1001. each.
