He was taken to the post,where at first it was thought Ire would not be able to run, but finding on cantering him a little wr.y ,that lie might have a chance against the two things opposed to Lim, he was allowed to start. Sir Hercules made the running all tit': way, the other two lying on either side of him close upon his trotters; there was no change till they came to the distance,where Zodiac was beat off. At the Grand Start, Fortitude nude an at tempt to get up, but could not manage it, the horse winning cle verly by half a length—rode by Conolly, Fortitude by Robinson, rnd Zodiac by Johnson. From what we have seen of Sir Her cules, we ate convinced that when up to the mark he will prove a very dangerous horse.

This was the must complete caricature of a race that ever was seen, not that any thing could have been expected from a race between two such oppoaite borses—a first and a twentieth rater. Moonshine made the best running he could for about two miles ar.d a half, when he wenf all agog, lost his action, began grunting like a pig, and finished by stopping altogether, and leaving Laurel to walk home by himself amidst the laughter of the spectators— rcdc by G.

Cambridge took the lead at a smart pace, followed for about a quarter of a mile by Tamboff, when he was passed by the Cap tain. Cambridge was first at the foot of the hill, but at the top the Captain took the lead, and kept it to the lted House ; here Cam t.ridge resumed the running, Tamboff at the same time coming up between the rails and the distance. The Captain was beat off, and Tamboff got to even with Cambridge, passing him at the Grand St and and winning easy. Second and Third Heats.—Bolivar, who had made a waiting race in the first heat, won these two beats very cleverly. The ground was so exceedingly heavy that a fast horse had no chance. We are sorry to hear that a well-known jockey, who for some years bore a high name as a rider in this part of the world, Mark Noble, is rednesd to a state of poverty, having a large family de pensfirg on him. Several liberal supporters of the Turf have come forward en the occasion, and poor Mark is likely to be put upon hi, legs again. SHREWSBURYRACES, Sarr.l7.

Joseph Lane was indicted on Saturday, for assault ing Peter Ross, an Italian, on the 22d of July. According to the impecfect statement In the English language, of the prosecutor, it appeared that he is a tailor, and first cousin to Signor Bordayane, a singer at the Italian Opera House ; that he was also servant to his first cousin, who lodged in the house of the defendant at No. 17, Charles -street, St. James's-square. They quarrelled about the putting of the prosecutor's goose in the kitchen fire,and there seemed to he an old grudge, the prosecutor having, as it was alleged, ironed his clothes on a rosewood tablelii the drawing-room,worth thirteen guineas. The Signor paid 41. 4.. weekly for his apart ments.—The defendant proved that the prosecutor abused him and Mrs. Lane, and put his fin several times in his face.—Acquitted. CORONER'S INQUESTS. On Saturday an Inquest was held before Mr. STIRLING, coro ner, at the Buffalo's-head, New-road, Mary-la•bonne, touching the death of Thomas George Young, an Escise•ofcer, stationed at Brentwood, In Essex.. _ William Cook, a labourer, residing at Nutting-hill, stated, that on Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, he left off work, and was coming out of Mr. Jenkins's nursery in the Regent's Park, when be saw the deceased, who was walking on the opposite foot path, suddenly fail down. Witness ran across and found him lying on his back bleeding ; he vim alive, but apparently unable to speak ; there was no instrument in his hand, or on the ground near him. Witness ran back to the nursery for desistance, and returned to the deceased, who was immediately conveyed by witness and some of Mr. Jenkins's men to the Infirmary in the New Road ; when they arrived there the unfortunate man was dead. In his pockets were a penknife (but no marks of blood on it) three half crowns, a snuff box, and a pencil-cam. Comnisn—Did he appear to have walked any distance? Witness—l could not tell ; but I traced blond for a quarter of a mile on the footpath where the deceased had walked before he fell. The CORONIR remarked that it was a most extraordinary case if the deceased had actually walked a quarter of a mile after he com mitted the act before he fell down exhausted by the loss of blood. The witness added, that when the deceased fell he groaned and tried to speak, but could not ; it was a very wet evening, and con sequently very few persons were in that part of the Regent's-park. W hen witness first saw hint he was walking fast. Mr. Alexander Watkins, house-surgeon of the infirmary, de posed that the deceased was brought to that establishment about half-past six o'clock on Wednesday evening, when he was quite dead ; there were apparently two incisions in his throat, such as might have been done with a razor, and the carotid arteries were completely severed. His hands were slot at all bloody. Mr. John Dorsett, of King-street, Westminster, tallow chan dler, stated that he knew the deceased intimately : he was au excise-officer at Brentwood, in Essex ; about six weeks ago he was at witness's house, when he appeared low and desponding, and was often so without any assignable cause : his bodily health was good ; he was a single mail, and in comfortable circumstances. The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed the act while labouring under temporary mental derangement. An Inquest was held b. fore the same Coroner at the Led Lion Inn, Shepperton, Middlesex, on the body of John Green, aged 36. Emma Alderson, a servant in the family of Charles CheviU, Esq. of Walton-bridge-house, stated, that on Wednesday morning, hav ing occasion to go into the garden behind her master's house, she was surprised to find a strange man lying across one of the footpaths in the garden ; he groaned heavily, and the& was a quantity a( blood about his person. She instantly returned into the house, and alarmed the inmates, when her master and a man servant went into the garden ; they found the deceased very shockingly wounded in the throat, from which the blood was gushing very copiously. He was immediately conveyed into the house, and a messenger dis patched for the attendance of Mr. Fitsgerald, a surgeon of Walton on-Thames, who shortly afterwards arrived. To some further questions the witness added, that the deceased was a perfect stranger to her, and that she could not account for his getting into her master's garden, where he certainly had no business. Mr. Charles Chevill, a Captain in the Honourable East India Company's service, deposed that when the preceding witness in formed him of a man lying in his garden, be went there instantly with a man servant, imagining that the man was a thief. He how ever, found the deceased lying on one of the footpaths, bleeding from a wound in his throat ; he immediately had the deceased conveyed within the house, and sent a servant for Mr. Fitzgerald, a surgeon. Witness had seen the deceased before, and knew him to have been a gardener ; but lie had no business its the garden, and he must have obtained admittance through a gate which led from a held behind witness's house. Near where the deceased was found, a razor and a small looking-glass were picked up ; the for mer was bloody, and the face of the looking-glass was covered with blood. The witness was decidedly of opinion that the unfor tunate man mast have be!d the looking-glue before his face with his left hand, while with his right be cut his throat with the razor. Witness had seen the deceased a few days previously, and spoke to him about some hot-house plants, when he appeared very dejected, and answered witness's questions in a very incoheteut manner. Mr. George Fitzgerald, a surgeon, deposed that on being sent for by Captain Chevill, he attended at that gentleman's house im mediately, and found the deceased quite insensible front the loss of blood occasioned by the wound iu hi* throat, which had divided all the principal arteries. Ile died shortly after witness's arrival.— Verdict, " that the deceased cut his throat while labouring under temporary derangement." A writ of inquiry rate last week executed before the Under Sheriff, in Sidbury, to assess damages in a cause " Morgan v. Crease and Rimel." The plaintiff was a labouring man, who resided in a cottage adjoining the parish-houses,which he and his Ember had held under the Dean and Chapter of Worcester for sixty years.— The defendants were parish officers, who claimed the house as pa rish property, and brought a pauper to put into possession. Mor gan was from home, but his wife defended the possession, and was treated with great violence, being much bruised and one of her ribs broken, fur which injuries the action was brought. The Jury gave a verdict for 1001. damages; but the damages being laid in the re cord at 501. the verdict was taken for that sum. The Joey expressed a hope that the cottage would beirestored to the plaintiff. Mr. Fenton, a Kerry gentleman, has been obliged by the Magistrates at Killorglan Petty Sessions so find ball—himself in 1001. and two sureties in gOl. each—to keep the peace to Mr. John Hurley, junior, Clerk of the Crown and Peace for that county, on the charge of having " sent to purchase a rope long and strong enough to tie Jack Hurley." Mr. Fenton was bound over, though fully explaining to the Bench that the expression was ap plied to a wicked tam on his ground, known by the name of " Jack Hurley." This stupid blunder evidently disproves what has been said of " th. march of intellect." Milt A C LOU s EsC A PE.—Saturday morning Mr. Mil ler, an attorney, his lady, and two children, and a female servant, with some trunks, embarked from the Custom-house stairs to go on board a Margate steamer. The waterman, a mere lad, instead of keeping his boat's head to the tide, which was then running strong, rowed across the stream, and his boat by the force of the current was driven against the Dslchidn-buoy and capsized, and the party were instantly in the water. Mr. Miller held his eldest child, a boy, by one band, and grasped the chain cable of a ship with the other. Mrs. Miller was drifting with the tide, when a sailor of one of the Dutch fishing-boats jumped overboard, and caught hold of her just as she was sinking. The servant gill clasped the other ehild in her arms, and was calling for help, as she clung to her master's coat, when the sailors of the Dutch smacks came to their assistance, and succeeded in saving them from a watery grave. MELANCHOL Y ACCIDENT. —We regret to state that on Thursday evening a boat was upset alongside the Britannia, 120, in the Sound, by which unfortunate occurrence three indi viduals lost their lives. It appears that a shore boat, with a Custom-house officer, named Oxlen, and two watermen, had con veyed sense wine on board the Britannia, and at half.past six in the evening, being about to return to Plymouth, she was engaged by Mr. Barker, midshipman, and Messrs. Cumings, Curgenven, and Scott, clerks, and two or three others, to take them ashore. It was then dark and blowing hard irons the S.W. with a heavy swell in the Sound. AU the above mentioned got into a boat, and another officer was descending the ship's aide to joie his companions, when a sea struck and carried the boat under the accommodation ladder ; she was upset, and the whole party, except one of the waterman, who held fast by the ladder, and was taken on board the Britannia, were precipitated into the water. The alarm being given on board, three officers, viz. Lieutenant Hawthorn, Mr. Car roll, Second Master, and Mr. Hugh , midshipman, with one sei:- man, instantly jumped into a small gl alongside, and after consi derable exertion, Messrs. Curgenven, Scott, Barker. Cumings, and Orden, the Custom-house officer, were picked up in a very ex hausted state. The gig was now a considerable distance from the ship, and the strong head-wind and tide compelled the intrepid vo lunteers from the Britannia to make for Plymouth, with those whom they had rescued front a grave in the yawning ocean, nor were the gallant preservers themselves without danger ; ever; wave beat over the boat, which was half full of water. On reaching the shore, medical attendance was instantly procured, and though only twenty minutes bad elapsed from the upsetting of the boat to their reaching Plymouth, and though every means was tried by Messrs. Baldy and Roberts, surgeons, it was found in the case of :Messrs. Curgenven and Cumins, the vital spark had wholly fled. The others were recovered. Mr. Cumitip has left a wife and six children ; Mr. Curgenven a wife and five children.—Deeenitort Telegraph. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL On Saturday the port; of the Cross Keys-Inn, Wood-street, was summoned for not delivering a parcel, addressed to Mr. Min ton, of Cheapside, within the time limited by law. The complainant said the porter brought the parcel on Thurs day last to his warehouse, but refused to let it go out of his bands until he had first received payment for the carriage. A half-crown was thrown upon the counter before him, but that would not do, it must be put into his hand. It was in vain to tell him that there bad been no refusal to pay, and that the charge was deemed a pro per one (for complainant had possession of the ticket, which was for 15d.) he would not part with the parcel unless Mr. Minton would say he would pay for it. Mr. Minton would not repeat the prescribed form of words, but again said he did not object to the charge. Thisolid not satisfy the porter, and complainant ordered him out of the premises for his insolence, and went to the book ing-office to complain of his misbehaviour. Here, however, he was insulted ; and he had therefore appealed to the Magistrate. The parcel bad not been delivered yet, and complainant was not aware from whence it had been forwarded. . Defendant ,aid, that when the half-crown was produced. it was not stated to bins positively that he was to take his carriage out of it ; he therefore considered it might not be intended for him. The Chief Clerk, understanding that the porter had not parted with the parcel, said that he was fineable for the non-delivery. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY said, this was such a gross case of misbe haviour, that he should fine the porter Ws. and 3s. costs; and if the parcel should not be delivered in a proper manner, he hoped the complainant would bring an action against the coach-office.— The fine was paid. BOW-STREET. On Saturday Mr. Barrymore waited on the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Mitts, in consequence of the report of an application made by Mr. Thompson, the comedian, on Thursday last, which appeared in all the papers of Saturday, and which imputed conduct to Mr. Barrymore by no means creditable. Mr. Barrymore handed to the Magistrates a Morning Paper of Saturday, and directing his attention to the remit in question, in quired if any such representation as was there mentioned bad been nude ? Mr. Haw* having read the report, observed, that a complaint of this description certainly had been made before Sir IL Birnie by Mr. Thompson, the actor ; but although he (Mr. Halls) was pre sent, he knew little about what had taken place, as he did not par ticuly attend to the conversation. Mr. Barrymote—ln that report you are made to say that my conduct was most dishonourable. Mr. Hau.s—Well, and if Mr. Thompson's statement be true, so it was. Mr. Barrymort—l shall prove, Sir, that what Dir. Thompson stated was not true ; but my principal object in applying to you, is to ascertain if the report of Mr. Thompson's application be true or not ? Mr. Harm—As far as the matter of fact is stated, it is perfectly true ; hut, I would observe, that the Gentlemen of the Press very frequently give in their reports the sense rather than the words of the speaker. Mr. Barrymore—Did you, Sir, use such an expression as " It was a most dishonourable action on the part of Mr. Bar ry more ?" Mr. Harts—l do not exactly recollect, but I should rather think not. I however did remark, that " I feared that a Magis trate could not afford Mr. Thompson relief." Mr. Barrymore—Are the remarks of Sir Richard Birnie cor rectly stated in the report? Mr. Harm—That I cannot take upon me to say. I cannot of course answer for other people, and ant not responsible for Sir Richard Birnies observations. Thus far I know to be the fact, that Mr. Thompson stated that he had entrusted into your hands two theatrical pieces, called" Tide Dumb Savoyard," and "Jack Robinson," for which you had been paid, and he had not. I recollect also saying that he ought to apply to Mr. Price. Mr. Barrymore handed to the Magistrate a letter which he had obtained from Mr. Dunn, the Treasurer of Drury-Lane Theatre, dated the lath inst., certifying that Mr. Barrymore had received no remuneration for the "Dumb Savoyard." Mr. Harm observed, that so Lir the charge of Mr. Thompson was certainly unfounded. Mr. Barrymore—l wish this to be private, as I have ulterior objects in view. Mr. Hares—You forget that all that passes here is public. . . . Mr. Barrymore then lattice.' the Magistrate and withdrew. MARY-LA-BONNE. Last Thursday John Davis, owner of a go-cart in the Kent Road, was fined 71. 16s. 6d. by Messrs. Gamins and Houma. at the instance of Charles Wheeler, an officer of the Society against Cruelty to Animals, for having driven a horse silty miles while its neck was dreadfully lacerated by the collar, and for not having a proper number. Robert Wood was also taxed by the officer with having thrown several sheep down a cellar, but was discharged, as the witness was not sufficiently near to see the bottom. A drover (723) was also fined the costs for cruelty to a sheep ; and the driver of a cart for not having his address. Several proprietors of the short stages which run from the White Horse Cellar to the villages round London, were find 40s. and costs. for remaining in Piccadilly beyond the time allowed by the Act.— Mr. NICHOLLS said he considered the number of informations to originate in the badness of the coach business ; not being able to procure passengers, they stopped beyond the proper time a few se conds ; a few days duce six of the Richmond stages were at the spot at the same time, and remained there long beyond the period, and when they started they had not above ten passengers among them. William Truman, a porter in the service of Messrs. Beach and Co. ironmongers, Regent street, was on Friday placed at the bar before F. A. Roe, Esq. charged with robbing his employers. It appeared that the prisoner had been in their service for up wards of four years, and lately several articles having been missed suspicion fell upon him, and on being watched to his residence, in IVardour-street, a large quantity of tea-trays, snuffers, and other small articles, were found. The prisoner did not deny that the property in part was his master's, and was given into custody. He said nothing in defence, and was fully committed for trial. Saturday last, at Guildhall, at the instance of Throsby, the driver of a cart of William Johnstone, was fined for cruelty to a horse. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Saturday James Cummings was brought up for final examination, charged with having attempted to kill his wife. After some other evidence had been heard the unfortunate woman was brought into the office in a chair. Her appearance exhibited a complete decline of the system. Mr. Fitzpatrick read her deposition, which was taken by Mr. Dyer, jun. at the workhouse, and which was as follows I, Catherine, the wife of James Cummings, on my oath de clare, that this morning my husband came home and inquired if his breakfast was ready. I informed him it was not, for 1 had no money to purchase any with. He then went out, and in the course of the morning he returned, and gave me 1.. 4d. 1 then went and bought some meat. Just before dinner time be came home with a pint of beer, and asked me if dinner was ready. I said it was, and went to the fire to cut some meat for the children, when, without any provocation, he came behind me, and struck me on the head with a at iron. I exclaimed,' For God's sake do not murder me ; but, without paying any attention to my cries, he threw me down, and struck me again. After several blows I became insensible, and I am still labouring under the effect of the injuries which he Inflicted." Upon the deposition being read over, the poor woman was car ried out of the office. Mr. Mta—You will be committed to take your trial for the capital offence; if you wish tt. say any thing I am ready to hear you. The prisoner said it was never his intention to kill his wife. He was then fully committed. HATTON-GARDEN. Saturday, S. Roberts was re-examined, charged with a fraud.— The prisoner, in concert with another man, pretended to pick up a gold ring and a pair of ear-rings, with a bill-of-parcels for 21. 17s. He persuaded Anne Sheehan to purchase the ring for ss. and pro mised to meet her the next day, when she agreed to purchase the ear-rings. He did not keep his promise, and about a month after wards she met him in Long-lane, when be ran away, but was ap prehended. The prisoner was remanded till yesterday, when the parties all attended; but while they waited for a hearing in the outer office, the friends of the prisoner nude a compromise with the prosecu trim, and when the case was called, she was not to be found. The prisoner was of course discharged. UNION-HALL. EXTRAORDINARY R ;ll4istrates were occupied a considerable time in investigating the circumstance of a robbery in which a Miss Wood's box. containing Cothes and jewellery to the amount of sCIOO. was stoke. The young lady above named had been on a •isit at the residence. of a gentleman named Lloyd, in Great Surrey-street, and on Friday afternoon, about lye o'clock, she left the house of her friend, and returned home, leaving a box behind her, containing jewellery and clothes to the above amount, which was to remain until sent for. Shortly after Miss Wood left the house, a female, who represented herself as in the service of that young lady, called, and said that she was sent for her young mistress's box. Not the slightest suspicion having been entertained that she was not the person she described herself to be, the box, with its contents, was delivered to her, and within a short space of time afterwards it was discovered that the person to whim the box had been given was an imposter, when the servant in reality called for the young Lady's property. The Magistrate inquired how it came to be known that Miss Wood had a boz at Mr. Lloyd's, for the person who obtained pos- session of it must have been aware of the fact ' The members of each family, who attended, stated, they were convinced none but the servants could have known anything about the matter. They suspected one female servant, but hid no evi dence to support the charge against her. The Magistrate then tad the parties, that unless they could make oath they suspected some individual had the stolen property in Isis or her possession, he could not grant a search warrant. The parties, being unable to make the necessary affidavit, then with drew, intimating their determination to strictly investigate the matter. Air.
