His Majesty's favourite mare reached Newmarket this evening from Lincoln. having won the Grand Falconer's Cup ; she is none the worse for her summer campaign. Sir Hercules arrived at the same time; he is kept for the Claret Stakes, and is likely to win them if he comes right to the post; be is a bad-temperedlsone in the stable. Capt. Rous has purchased Kildare for 500 son. The commencement of the Rates with a dead beat augurs fa vourahly for the Meeting, which has received an accession of .id. tors since our last report. We subjoin a few additional particulars of the running this afternoon. Taut. Staass-7 to 4 apt Seraph (taken), 2 to 1 agat Locket, o to 1 apt Luss, ands to 1 apt Caradori (taken). Luss mad* steady running nearly the whole of the ground, the others together and close up. They ran in this order as far as the bushes, where Locket was beat off ; here Seraph challenged, and the rest of the ground was so closely **tested by her and Lou, that the Judge pronounced it a dead heat. Loss was rode by Conolly, Seraph by Wakefield, Caradori by young Buckle, Enamel by Dockeray, and Locket by the veteran Buckle, whose riding did not evince any want of that vigour and ability which characterised his " youthful days." The bets on the two horses that won the dead beat are divided. The Jockey Club Dinner was attended by only eight members, owing to the Doke of Richmond, Lord Exeter, Lord Sefton, and Mr Stonehewer, having dinner parties. In addition to those whose names we gave in our last, we have observed the following Fashionable.:—Marquis of Graham, Lord G. H. Cavendish. Lord C. Somerset, Lord C. Manners, Lord Jersey ; Messrs. Peyote, M.P. Thorn hill,J. Mills, French, Dow deswell, Hunter, Baird, Rous, &c. It is said that Lord Mountcharles and Mr. Payne are about to retire from the Turf. The accident alltided to in our last report betel Charles Franklin, F.sq. whose horse shied and threw him. The fracture of the thigh is close to the hip, but under the able treatment of lir. Kandall, there is every reason to expect a favourable result. LINCOLN RACES—Sept. 24. The City Purse of SW. for all ages. Two mile beats. Mr. Dickson's eh. f. Lucy, 3 yrs 1 •1 Dr. Willis's b. f.

In the second heat Hawk's Eye was withdrawn, and thus terminated the Races. GREAT UNDERTAKING--ROWING MATCH. Two gentlemen amateurs well known on the River, Messrs. J. D. Bishop and Horneman, undertook ea D4onday, for a consider able wager, to row from London-bridge to Gravesend. back to Richmond-bridge, and down to Westminster-bridge, In fifteen hours. About half-past five o'clock on Monday morning the gen thmen started from London-bridge, and proceeded down to Graves end with the tide : after taking some refreshment they resumed their work, and succeeded in arriving off Lambeth at 17 minutes past two. At this place numbers of amateurs were on the look-out, who greeted thtm with bed cheers as they passed. At five o'clock they reached Richmond-bridge, and after a short relaxation came dowo again, arriving at Westminster-bridge at a quarter to seven, thus winning the match by one hour and a quarter. The distance, which is considered about one hundred miles, was rowed in 13 hours and three-quarters ! GREAT PEDESTRIAN PERFORMANCE. West. the Champion of English Pedestrians, started on Friday last, at four o'clock in the afternoon, to walk the extraordinary distance of nine miles and a half in one hour and thirty minutes, on a quarter of a mile piece of ground, which was measured from the Olive Branch, East-street, Paddington. One peculiar novelty In the match was, that half the distance was to be performed back wards, and as three o'clock was the time appointed, vast numbers of persons assembled before the pedestrian commenced his labours, but very little betting took place; indeed for the last six years the pedestrian has increased bis speed almost every task, until it is not exactly known what is the greatest distance he can perform. He went elf at a very great pace, which be continued without much apparent fatigue, and accomplished the distance in one hour, 28 minutes, and 10 seconds, winning the match by one n•inute and 50 seconds. In a Dublin newspaper, it was lately stated that "in a late affray five persons were killed and several dangerously wounded, and if the military had not interfered something serious would have happened. Yesterday morning, soon, after three o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of 'Mr. Crow, carpenter, in ging street, Westminster, which consumed the whole !Dupe; but,* the activity of the firemen it ettended no further. Great praise i. due to Mr. Stott. the butcher, who assisted in working the Sun Fire-riffice engine, and to other neighbours. Fortunately no lives were lost. Had it reached the nil-sbop. adjoining, it might have been attended with vety serious consequences, there being a quan tity of gunpowder on the premises. ILFORD PETTY SESSIONS, September 26. Before 616112. lag. Aka Ituddle aid data Pains were brought op upon an Informa tion, laid at the Instance of a gentleman named Foster, charging them with hunting with &gain Epping Merest, an Sunday, the 6th instant. Mr. Forma, in repay to the Chairman, aid that be had two witnesses to support the chart,. Samuel Rippendale deposed that be Was servant to Mr. Foster. Os Sunday, the 6tb instant, between twelve and. one o'clock at noon, he was going into the forest, when he saw two dogs follow ing a hare across the road ; the dogs were of the lumber breed ; saw the defendants afterwards coming through the trees ; the dogs yetr in fall chase; the men were walking, and about 100 yards front the dogs; did not ate 'batmen encoure#ng the dogs; saw the same dogs with the defendants in the streets of Walthamstow on many previous occasions. William Crockford corroborated the testimony given by the last witness, and added, that he knew one of the dogs to belong to the defendant Rudd*. The evidence in support of the hafeentadon being concluded, The CHAIRMAN called on the defendants for their defence. Huddle said that, on the day In question, be and leave had been to the Forest to gather blackberries to make a pudding ; the dogs were with them, but so far from having set the dogs to run down a hare, they knew nothing about it until they were made acquainted with the circumstance by the witnesses Rippendale and CrockfOrd. Mr. Foster here wished to make an observation to the Bench. The Crusasun said be could not think of hearing any remark from the prosecutor, after the men had awned upon their defence. Mr. Foster—l wished to call more evident*. Cbairman—Then I cannot bear evidence after the defence has luste entered upon. This is a strictly passel case, upon which it is **peculiar province of this Court to proneence au opinion. The men have no appeal from our decision, and we should therefore adhere as closely as possible to the rules by which Courts of law Ore regulated. Capt. Pussy thought that Mr. Foster ought to have been asked Rho bad closed his cue before the defendants were tailed onto ipply to the charge. The Comma said that Mr. Foster had, at the outset of the ense, Informed the Court that he bad two witnesses to support the *age. Wheo thetefurotwo witnesses were esamined. be s nails. Tully concluded that the case was ended for the prosecution, and that the time had arrived for the defendants to reply. • Mr. Foster said the witness which he wanted to bring foiWard Was the constable who took the defendants, who was told by parse's wife that the trouble her husband got into was owing to Ruddle and his dog.. The Gannon and the other Magistrates present said. that such evidence, at any step of the proceedings, could not be admitted by the Court. 7- 111ppendale was recalled. and in reply to the Chairman, repeated that the defendants were upwards of one hundred yards behind the dogs • that they were walking ; and that he did not see them en roarging the dogs. laid Mr. Foster—This evidence is very different from the story you me. Rippendaie—No, Sir; I told you exactly what I stated his day to the Bench. , The Chairman here interfered, and said be could not allow Mr. Foster to follow up the line of proceeding he was adopting. The question was then put to the vote, whether or no the de fendants were guilty. The majority was in their favour, and they were discharged. John Bait and Peter Duncan. Rags. were charged with wantonly pnd violently assaulting Isaac King and J. W. Ward, under the fol bwing 6 circumstances. Only the former defendant appeared. , From the evidence of the complainants and a gentleman named chanan. it appeared that, between seven and eight o'clock on Tiesday night last. King, who is a gardener in the employment of an elderly lady residing at Laytonstone. went to see if a gate at tathed to a field belonging to his mistress was locked. He was Micompanied by Ward. Upon arriving at the gate, two persons were standing at it, who turned out to be the two defendants, Bait and Duncan. The moment King went up to the gate be was se zed by Mr. Duncan, who turned him round. Mr. Bait then came up, attack him a violent blow in the face. and knocked Min down. He asked Mr. Bait if be knew who he was striking? he replied in the affirmative. Mr. Bait then seized him by the collar, and tried to drag him upon his premises. He, however, broke away, and ran to his mistress's house for the assistance of Mr. Buchanan, a gentleman who was there on a visit. Ward was next laid hold of by the defendants, and dragged into Mr. Bait's stable-yard, where be was struck three several times by Mr. Bait with a stick; he was then forced into the stable, and about to be chained down to the ground, the chain being actually slung over his shoulder and arm for this purpose ; but be was released by the interference of Mr. Buchanan and King, the former having ex pressed himself warmly upon the outrageous conduct displayed by Mr. Bait and Mr. Duncan, and the latter using force to drag his companion from the hold of the defendants. Mr. - Bait cross.examined the witness, for the purpose of showing that it was exceedingly dark ; that Ward Was armed with a stick, which; however. be did not use ; that the complainants concealed themselves, which, however, they denied ; and also to show that there was a-contention between Mrs. Berries and himself relative to the gate in question. The Outman said. that the only question which the Magis trates had to try related to the assault, and to that Mr. Bait ought to apply himself. Mr. Bait asked if he was not allowed to show, in justification, that he bad committed the assault under an-apprehension that he bad to deal with persons intending to commit a felony? Captain Pelly— Do you mean to say that you thought the com plainants were there for that purpose? Mr. Bait—upon my honour I do, Mr. Bait went on to say, that the gate in question was defect* his property, for the key of it was given to him when be took his house. It was the only way he had to his coach-house- Dr. Back, who attended as a friend of Mrs. Berries, denied the right set up by the defendant. Mr,. Berries had held quiet pos session for upwards of thirty years, and her right was never ques tioned before. Nothing could exceed the annoyance experienced by Mrs. Harries since the defendant had questioned her right ; her servant' could not clip her hedges nor mow her grass without being subject to great inconvenience and constant insults. Mr. Bait contended that he had a right to the gate in question, and said that, in support of that right, belted entered into proceed ings in the Court of Common Pleas. Capt. Polly here banded the 9th of George the Fourth to the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN, after looking over the part pointed out by the gallant Captain, said that be was glad be was able to dismiss the ease before him without giving an opinion upon it, for by the 31st chapter of the above Act, magistrates were prohibited from eater. taining any question of assault arising oat of a question of disputed property. The case was therefore dismissed. A warrant against Francis Simmons, servant to Mr. Bait, chug• lug him with wilfully breaking the ksc.k of the gate alluded to, was also dismissed, upon the same grounds. vmartrameseanoreseie DARING ROBBERY.—Monday night last, above nine o'clock, a rang man, about la or 20 years of age, genteelly drownd in a dark coat lined with silk, a light waistcoat, and black hand* kerchief, and about five feet six loches high, knocked at the door of Mr. blagnus, situate No. 20, Prescott -street, Whitechapel, which was opened by a female named Catherine Soloman. The villain, on the young woman's opening the door, told her that her . family was not at home, and at the same time aimed a most deadly blow at her with his fut. which struck her in the face, and the poor girl was knocked down, and remained a abort time in a state% of insensibility. Upon her recovering from the effects of the blow, she get up and followed the villain, who went into the parlour, when he cut her pocket down, and stole two five shilling pieces, two half-crown pieces, and 12 shillings, together with two bundles of small keys, and a small box. The young woman screamed, and another servant, who was up stairs at the time, came down, whom the thief perceiving, made his escape with all possible speed. The police are in search of the villain. A very destructive fire occurred last week at Water lane farm, Hampstead, the property of Mr. Andrews, occasioned by the over-heating of about ten acres of barley. placed in a barn in too damp a state. The flames communicated to a stack of wheat, and to the house and buildings generally, which were all coos sinned. The damage is estimated at 5001. ALARMING FIRE.---Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, the inhabitants of Carborten-street and its vicinity, were thrown into a state of extreme alarm by the discovery of afire in the house of Mr. Leversen, corner alarm Csrburtan and Norton streets, Newrood, which for some time threatened destruction to the " Colosseum " tavern, next door, and to other premises ad joining. It appears that a boy, in the service of sir. Leman, rose at six o'clock sad went into the kitchen to light a fire. He went soon afterwards to call his master, and on his return to the kitchen he found rho place on fire, and was obliged to retreat ars her as he could. He alarmed his master. sad Mr. Gubutt, a lodger, of their danger, and they left their beds and ran to the staircase almost in a state of nudity. The flames extended with such extra ordinary rapidity <bat they were obliged to make the best of *heir way to the front 'windows A ladder was .procured by mime la,- bourets wbowera oo the spot ;.and Mr. Leverson, who is &ever* scorched by the flames , happily 'seeped after rescuing two infaot Children from the most imminent peril. The lodgers all effecied their escape ; but , the clothes, and all the.propersy In alit hiallisg, were destroyed. By thessertioos of the firenirn the illonsouseese prevented from extending further; but the premise,s were com .pletely gutted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Bow4tazim Yesterday smoky Mr. Read, a parfonuer it the West iirodoo Theatre, came before Mr RICIIIARD Bum and. Mr. Hawn. the sitting Magistrates. to request the two *Mews who had .been In attendance at that Theatre mull Monday sight. ',tight be replaced by two others. The ricers who had aumW the Theatre from ha opening until the night before bad been. obliged to withdraw their services by the orders of the Commissioners of the New Pollee, and unless ethers were substituted la their stead, the house would be wholly unptotectwi. Sir &cumin Bums said that be bad no °Mows to substitute. The Pollee establishment had passed into Other hands; end be therefore could not interfere. _ _ _ 31r. Read said that the proprietors and renegers pf the theatre were reduced to a most unpleasant dilemma by this suespected withdrawal of the police. Sir RIMIAID Baum said that be could not help k—h wee 40 leak of kis ; but, said be, I know of no such theatre as the West London. Mr. R e ad observed, that such a theatre rested. Sir ft. Beasts—Well, I cannot assist you. Mr. Read--Perhaps. Sir, though you can't grant tbe.eNdmllq . yourself. you would be good enough to instruct me as re add& ought to apply. Sir Ilicsmae—l tell you. we have no disposable force. Mr. Hem.s—AU contrast has been takes out of the heeded de Magistrates. We can only tell you, that we cannot comply wish your application.—Mr. Read then retired. Yesterday morning Pkifip Asdney, alias Williams Ll.pd, a middle- aged man, dressed in the first style of fashion, was brought up, charged with the following daring attempt at robbery : On Monday evening Mr. Ayres, the hat.nuker, went to the English Opera Horse, and while waking for the opening of the pit doors be felt himself pressed behind and in front, and observed that be was surrounded by several well-dressed men, who appeared to be acting in concert. When the doer oprur4 these fellows bustled him, and the prisoner thrust his band into his pocket, and had got his purse, in which were twenty sovereigns, pertly out, when Mr. Ayres seised his band and held k fast. The prisoner struggled very bard to get the purse, and called out to his companions. M The old ..-- won't let it go—boom him," and they did bonnet him as it is called; viz. knock his hat down so as to cover his eyes completely. The prisoner again made a desperate pull at the purse, but Mr. Ayres KM held it fast, and the whole gang then began " punching" him in the sides and back, and be called sot lustily for help. Fryer, one of the police ofiken in attendance, with great (Malty mad:: his way through the crowd and succeeded in taking hold of the prisoner, who even up to that memo had bold of Mr. A.'s purse. A desperate attempt was made by the rest of the gang to rescue the prisoner, but Fryer, assisted by Mr. Ayres, who, though ad vanced in years, is a very powerful man, kept him in custody, and conveyed him to the watch-house. A picklock key and a consi derable sum of money, were found span him. The prisoner said be was not the man, and hoped he might he allowed to go at large, as the gentleman had lost nothing, and he (prisoner) bad a wife and eleven children at home Mr. Hacts—Then you should endeavour to support them ho nestly. You are aware that we know you as a regular thief. The prisoner made no reply, and was fully committed for the iniedommosmsur Yesterday Jabs William, alias Cot:meat, the young man who on Thursday last was charged with stealing two bottles nf wine and a quantity of brandy, the property of Mr. Maddon, the landlord of the Ship, in James-street, Covent-garden, was brought up for final examination. Mr. Maddon said he bad caused his stock to be examined by the excise officer who visited his house, and he found that he was de- Sclera in wine about forty-two bottles, and in brandy about as many quarts. Mr. Maddon added, that the prisoner had stated, that he was proprietor of a public-house, and that the wine and brandy were his own property, and were brought from that house. But the fact is, your Worship, said Mr. Maddon, he is not par ticular in what he says. Sir R. Buunte—No, nor in what he takes, I think. Mr. Maddon said he had ascertained that the prisoner had taken away four bottles of wine at a time, and lodged them at different public houses, pretending that he was in business for himself. Ford the gaoler here produced a letter which he said had been given to him at the close of the last examination, by a man named Lee, to be conveyed to the prisoner. Lee bad asked to be allowed to see the prisoner in the lock-up room, but was refused, and he then gave this note into the bands of Ford. It was addreaied to "John Williams," and the contents were as follow : " Due CATSKZAT!—We are sorry to hear of your being in this situation ; but when you are called upon to go before the Magis trate, be careful what you say, as all will depend upon yourself, be cause they can prove nothing against you. Dear friehd, be sure you do not insult the Magistrate, and keep your own conitseL—Your sincere friends, " J. Mirron and W. Les." Sir R. Braun—And pray who are Messieurs Paton and Lee? Wright, the carer, said they were salesmen in the market, and friends of the prisoner. Sir R. Btauis—But what do they mean by cautioning the pri soner not ro insult me ? It is not likely be would do so, and if he did it would make no difference in my view of the case. lam used to be Welted. and are very little about it. Lee was here called forward, and asked if be wrote the letter in question, and be said he did not, but that he knew, of its being written. and was aware of its contents. Sir R. Biatua—What occasion was there for a letter of this kind ? I shall do no more than my duty. Every man shall have fair play, and I really cannot conceive the necessity of giving ad. ' • vice of this sort to a prisoner. Mr. Robottom, of the Finish, wbo was mainly instrumental in detecting the prisooer, stepped forward, and said he had every reason to believe that Lee and the prisoner were very closely con nected. Mr. Martin, the landlord of the Three Crowns, in Richmond street, Rupert-street, which house the prisoner said be was the proprietor of, came forward and declared be did net know the pri weer at all.—Wiliiams had nothing to say, and was fully com mitted for trial. MARLBOROUGH—STREET. Yesterday two of the new police, named Arden and Smith, were charged with disorderly conduct, but the pantos who locked them up not being disposed to press he chirp, they were set at liberty. Smith was locked up by a watchman of St. James's pa rish, who refused to attend at all yesterday, having sent word that be eared nothing about any thing any more, as he was no longer a watchman, and was perfectly satisfied with having ended his duty that night by locking up one of the new police, Pardon was brought from St. Pancras parish, of which he was a watchman, a few days ago, but being now a police-man of letter 7th section, be went to his old watch-bonne the night before, and threatened them all to give them ' pepper when he came on duty to his new capacity ;" and for this insolence the night con• stable locked him up.
