NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. • fONDAY. gl/ARTER 1. AST ONE O'CLOCE. Yesterday evening there were several arrivals, and the town is now nearly full. There were dinner parties at Cheteley, Mr. Lushing tan's. and the Palace, and at The Rooms, were Lord Lowther, Lord Kensington, Lord Verulatu, Lord George Cavendish, Sti *John Ityng, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Keating, Mr. Allen, &c. This mortarng .The betting men assembled before the rabitis, and some brisk betting took place, leaving off; at half past twelve, at the odds subjoined. The principal topic however, was a curious letter received by Mr. Hal- Lifay, front a person of the name of Burnell, who calls higteelf k respectable cloth-dresser, residing at Hunslet, in the neighbourhood of Leeds. This person, like ruany others, entered into extensive en gagrtnenti on the late fit. Leger, which terminating unfa vourably for hint, belies, either from want of principle or lacli of means, letantetl. To an application for payment of [Wile beta, he returns the following answer, which is suffi ciently dernoustrative of the views with which this mush ream speculator commenced his career as a better. lie arites Mr, H.

It is odd that Mr. B. does not rzmember the name of the person from whom he won this largi stake, nor does he even recollect the colour of his :311—an unpardonable omission in a cloth-dresor. EMMY- Mayor's . from BERGAIII The following account of the present residence and mode of living of this person in Russia is extracted from the Portfolio of Literature of Saturday last " Captain Price, of the Ramifies trader, was at Saint Petersburgh in June last, and having business with a merchant at Volsky, a village about sixty wrests up the bank; of the Neva, he rode there on a fine English blood horse. " Having transacted his affairs, he mentioned to the merchant his desire to dispose of his horse, and intention of returning by a boat down the Neva.' The merchant gave Rita a note to Count Leonwich, a Hungarian nobleman, who had a seat in the neighbourhood, and was a great sportsman, and, moreover, a member of the new racing club at St. Petersburgh, one very likely to become a pur chaser of his horse. Captain Price was introduced to him in his garden, and instantly knew him to be the far-famed Baron Bergami. " Capt. Price formerly commanded a vessel that traded to the port of 'Trieste, and there he knew Bergami inti mately, from having sold him several time's ale and pftLet' for the use . of the Princess, who then resided at 'Pesaro. He used tO dine with Bergami whenever be went to the I house. He now addressed him in the Italian language, and after a little equivocation on Bcrgarni's part, he ac knowledged his old acquaintance, and invited him into his house; but cautioned him net to make known who he was to any of the Russians, who all took him for a Hungarian, .which his great size and strength made appear very. plau sible. Captain Price remained with him to dinner, which consisted of two courses, served up en silver plate, and I cooked after the Italian fashion. His wife and daughter dined with them ; the latter was on the eve of being mar ried to a Swedish nobleman. 'The wife appeared sixty I ears of age, whilst Bergami did not look more than fifty. nein Price thought the daughter very handsome. Their x was splendidly luxurious, though it was evidently , imon mode of living, as no preparations were made they did not expect. The house was elegantly fur , but not a book was to be seen in it. Whilst they their claret and hock, the young lady played se upon the harp, and sang with a tolerable Bergami said lie had sold the Barony, near Milan, for and purchased the estate where he then resit!. d, the title of Count. He wore the *star, and also r German Order—not that of St. Caroline. The was full of guns, fishing-nets, and spotting mate of every deacriptien . In the h all lay several pointers grevbounds, and on perches .w ere a large assortment everts. He had a kennel of fine fox-hounds, and a twelve horses. Upon a heap of stones near the Au, was a staff, bearing the Russian flag—a distin wark to show he was an officer of justice ; for .c held a situ,atinn similar to that of an English Justice of the Peace, to which there is a salary attached' a two hundred roubles, Captain ('rice saw him exercise authority over a drunken fellow, who was making a noise in the streets of Volsky. He ordered him to be gagged, and put in the stocks, which was done in a meet savage manner. Bergarui wore the. Russian uniform, green anti gold—a gold lace cap and fehther—a sword by his side, and pistols in his belt. He appeared to have twelve or more domestics, and in the lawn before his door, four fe males were employed milking cows. " He was. puch pleased with the horse, for which he paid more than was demanded. His estate appeared well cultivated and thickly wooded; he had several fish e popele, or small lakes, on the borders of which were little wooden lints, filled with nets and lines. lie appeared like a little prince, butlfilhal quite unostentatious. He said he would have liked to see England, had he not been afraid' of his life by venturing thither. Captain Price mitred him no one there would injure him ; but he shook his head in doubt, and smiled. He attended the Captain to a passage-boat, and saw him embark ou the Ncva, bidding him a most cordial farewell. When they had sailed sonic hours. the Captain observed his name upon a large hamper, and upon opening it, found it to contain six fine large bear hams, and several rein deer tongues; he remembered prais ing those things at dinner, and Bergami took this handsome way of gratifying his appetite. He asked Captain Price if the people of England ever said anything about him ' • for he had heard it was believed he had left his wife and fa mily in Italy to starve, and gone himself with all his for tune to America. 11IoNorozy 07 THE LIONS.—The custom of going to see the lions at the Tower prevailed more titan a hundred years ago, when the following proelarscati..4 was issued : " Ali persons whom it may concern are desires.. to take no tice, that the master keeper of his Afejestyll lion office, in the Tower of London, se informed, that several persons expose to publick view several wild beasts against his Ma jesty's prerogative royal, and a prohibition given and pub lished to the contrary is in the words following—` That no person whatsoever, except THOMAS DYMQCLE, and the keeper of his Majesty's lions for the time being,4l6, for the' future, carry abroad, or expose to publick view, for their. own private gain, any lions, lionesses, leopards % or ivy other heists which are ferce nature, as they will answgf.thcoon trary at their perils.'" , . WAR AMONG 'rue Sara,ges.--Trayelling three/at one of the Southern States, my attention was attracted by' a singular rustling in the thickets which bordered the road. I stopped my horse to learn its cause ; and soon discovered, at a few paces from the track, a rattlesnake of rather more than ordinary size, in a coil such as these reptiles Always throw themselves into on the approach or attack of as enemy, exhibiting every symptom of extreme rage, ancl displaying all those beauties for which its species are so re markable when under the ioflueuce of passion No cause for its disorder was first visible ; but in a shot t time a black snake darted from the surrounding bushes rapidly across the folds of his antagonist, and disappeared on the other side. the rattlesnake did not fail to strike at its darting assailant, but with what success the rapidity of their mo tion prevented me from determining. The rattlesnake re mained in his coil, prepared for another assault, which Was accordingly soon offered by his black foe repairing, and again gliding across him with almost inconceivablerapitlity, while the same attempt was made to punish the aggression. Theme movements were several times repeated with no ap-. parent advantage to either party. The black snake seemed once or twice struck with the fangs of his enemy, and yet returned with undiminished celerity to his subtle assault. The density of the underwood would not permit me to fol low with my eyes his retreat ; and however great dry curiosity to ascertain how be employed the time of his &imam, I could not prevail upon myself to indulge it by entering on so fatal a battle ground. 'At length the rattle- J snake, in one of his attetnpts to revenge the insolence of 'his assailant, struck his fangs deep into his own body ; he 'extricated them, stretched himself with every appLaranee 'of agony on the ground, and turning on his back, in a short time expired. The 'crafty victor once more appeared, 'and seizing the lifeless body in his mouth, dragged it from the scene of action.—New York Evening Net, &pt. 10. M. Pierre Salmon, a vine grower at Ormes, near Orleans, gathered, on the Bth of the present month, a acond crop of cherries.

Yesterday nem& ./..Hil.. a balf.starved looking object, was brought before Alderthan Key, who sat for the Lord Mayor, charged with Mri,* stolen a large boa full of hats, the property of a hat-manufacturer named Salt, who resides in Cerawall-street, St. Heorge'sain-tbe. East. The evidence disclosed the following circumstances:—Mr. Salt sent a.boy, named Lovell, who is in Mat employment, with a box, containing la hats, from Cornwelhatreet to 'Tottenham Court-road. As the boy walked along he saw the prisoner, whoaepereon he knew well, followiast him. He bad occasion to stop for a short time at the corner of a street in Cheapside, and lay down his box, which the prisoner instantly seized, and ran away with; indeed so quickly wee the thing, according to the boy's account, accomplished, that he had not time to make any effort for the recovery of the property until the thief was out of eight. Another boy, who had not seen the robbery, observed .the prisoner going with considerable speed along the street towards Bethnal-green, with the box of hats, soon after the period of the robbery ; and a third saw the,prisoner in the aeighnisualiecat of an old b u ilding take three hats out of a box, ',lath contained more. The last boy asked the prisoner about the hats, and was told 'by him that he wanted to sell them. The pri soner then went up Oommercial-street, in the neighbourhood of which he had, it appeared front his own acknowledgment, sold several of the hate, and the boy went away. The hex had not re mained very long on die premisea, when it was found by one of the workmen. It then contained four hats, and five more were found in the chin-may. ,The etriaorier was soon afterwards apprehended. He told the officer that he was so hungry he could not help taking the hate, which he said ht had by a trick got from the boy, and dis posing of them to keep him from starving. The unfortunate feLow, who had been twice tried at the Old Bailey, and whom it may be considered an act of mercy to take front the town, vies then committed tor trial. , GDILDHALL. A decent.looking-sort.of-a.seafering man, who stated himself to be an out-pensioner of Greenwich Hospital, was yesterday charged before Mr. Alderman Thompson as a vagrent. A watchman of St.Repalehre's pariah deposed, that he was re quested by the landlord of the Bill's Head, in Smithfield, on Satur day night, between eleven and twelve, to take the prisoner nut of his hours, as being disorderly ; and that, In consequence, he did so, and took him to the watchhouse. The watchman admitted, that when he took him, he weer drinking his beer, but was talking YET loud. This was all tie charge against him. The prisoner said that he had been to Cliches to receive his pen sion, and had got robbed both of the money and his clothes. The Alderman told the watchman that he hail acted in a most unwarrantable manner, for it was quite dear that there was not any charge of vagrancy against this man, nor was there by tile watch_ mangy own evidence sufficient testimouy to say that he was dia. orderly. ' The prisoner was then discharged. Dlr. Christopher Salle, a respectable baker, residing in Crown. spurt, Dorset -street, Fleet-street, charged his own son, a lad of about seventeen years of age, with assaulting hie mother, the wife of the complainant. It app eared from the . statement of the father and mother, that the boy h ad, for more than twelve months past, contracted an ac quaintance with a most dissolute set of wretches, frequenting the Bible, public-house, Skire r lane, and other equally disreputable places; that he frequently staid out until one and two o'clock in the morning. and then returned home beastly intoxicated. All remon strance with him had proved unavailing. On Sunday too ning he remelted home - about one o'clock,- wheji his mother got up to let admits. she inmonstrated with him, and he struck her several times vinlettly. They thought the only way to save him from ruin was to send him to sea. Mt. Alderman THOMPSON (to the prisoner)--Have'you any ob jection to go to sea ? Prisoner—No ; not if you. will get me a comfortable Captain. Th 4 Alderman—l cannot answer for that, but will you, of your own nee will, go to the Marine Society? Prisornr- No. I had two .cousins that went there, and they *never came back again. rile Alderman—Then I shall order you to find bail for the assault 'upon your mother.

BOW STREET. Yesterday morning information was given at this o ffi ce, of a very daring robbery having been committed at the house of Mr. Adol. phin. the Barrister, in Perepetreet. Rathbone-place. About eleven o'clock in the morning, the female servants had gone up stain he do their household work, and no one was left below. The area gate thic not fastened, and the kitchen door leading to the area was standinanepen. When the itodle' referned to the kitchen, the found the pantry door open. and the whole of the plate which had been left there, amounting in value to about 40/. was gone. The rob bery was, no doubt committed by that description of thieves who, In the phraseology of the police, are denominated " sneaks ;" • an of fellows who are tonstantly on the alert in the morning -about the houses of gentlemen, and who have very often great facilities afforded them by the tirelessness of servehts. An officer was sent to the house, but it is extremely improbable that any discovery will be made, as the men who engage in this aslant) of robbery, dispose of their booty immediately f 6 thine who consign it at once to the crucible. James Jloare, a carter, In the service of Messrs. Itlumford and CO. corn dealers, Newcastle-street, Strand, was charged with cat. bezzleinent, under the following cineunistancear—The carter had been eighteen months in the employ of the complainants, and was intrusted by them to receive money ow their account, fur which he was to tee the parties credit in the delettry book every evening. It however subsequently turned out that he had not done so in many instances. Inquiry was accordingly trade, when it was dn.. coeeeed that the prisoner had been carrying on this species of fraud for a cometderable length of time. He had received, and not given account of them. several sums of a Mr. Haines, in the seighbour hood of Spitalliilds; also, two or three amounts from Mr. Robinson, a brewer, in Rattle-street. Paddington. On the 2.3 n of July last, he delivered id the latter person's wife two quarters of. malt and some hops, the amount of which came to W. 10e.; this • bum Mrs. 8.. toad him, and he gave • receipt. This case only was gone into, and the teceipt was produced. He was fully committed for trial. . . M A RYLBBCINE. . • . DAN/NO ANY) EXT,IORDINANY BURGLAIIIY.—XeIiff4II* l'lff: Stow, of Homer-atreet.

Here he horst into tears. Mr. RAWLINSOM—Compose yourself, my good Sir. • I have heard of your loss, and know it is very great. Sit down and coo. pose yourself. After sitting for a few moments, Mr. Stow said he lived in Homer-street, with only his wife and a servant girl. On Sunday lie Hosed Isis shop at four o'clock, and having secured everything about a quitter or an boor after that time, he and his wife went cut to take their usual Sunday walk in the Regent's Park, having given the servant permission previchasln to go out, thinking it aster to leave the house without any body than in the charge of a young girl, who probably might have improper acquaintances, and have admitted them into the house. On his return borne, about twenty minutes to six o'clock, lie found the house had been entered ; and on examination ascertained that the thieves had broken open and tifled every closet, drawer, box, cupboard, and chest in the hottse ; and they hod. in cash and value alone, robbed him of 9501., DIM In cluding negotiable bills and securities ' and the lease of some houses. " in fact," said he, again bursting into lean, "they .have taken the earnings of my whole life, and I am a mined man." After having regained some degree or composure, Mr. Stow gave a detailed account of his loss; upon which Mr. Haelinson said the loss wee amazingly great, and asked if lie bore in the neighbourhood any credit or notoriety for having money in his possession; and whether it was known he could at any time have given change for large note or checks. Mr. Stow said not. No man could be more reserved ot secret about MOW,' than he was. He did not suspect any holly. and tic ' bottled very satisfactorily fob harlot Such Wge Coin in hit' 'pos. session.

Tim case was fully proved, and tile pawnbroker, when called on for his defence, stated, that the person pledging the article was dressed in a white flannel jacket hire a tradesman ; he took in the ,pledge without unfoiding it, and therefore did not tree any marks by which he could have known it to be a soldier's, but contented 'himself with simply looking at it externally, and seeing that it was worth more then the sum required, 1 , ., he took it in without further coxsidenttion. Under these circumstances ha hoped his Worship would deal leniently with him, the more especially as he got in. volved in the transaction without any criminal intention.

The streetkeeper who apprehended him stated, that he wan marching up and down filigh.street ilia whole of the morning with this placard, and bawling out with stentorian lungs, " A fullae count of the most hyrrid murder ever read, committed upon Mr. Cass and his wife, by three desperate ruffians, price only one pet nv."

Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, an Inquisition was taken by Thbmas Higgs, ENCI. the Deputy Coroner for the city and liberty of Westminster, and 14 respectable Jury, at the Marquis of Granby tavern, Pimlico•road, near the Chelsea V er-Works, touching the melancholy death of Mr. George Bond, aged 40 years, who was appointed by Lord Grosvenor as receiver of the toll at the new canal at Pimlico since its opening. The deepest comniiseration is felt for the unfortunate widow of the deceasetl, w ho is left with a family of ten children, the youngest only six weeks old, to deplore her husband's untimely dissolution. The Jory having been sworn, took a view of the body, and atter they had resumed their seats, the following depositions were taken relative to the lamentable circumstance:— . _ . James Chester stated, that he attended to the locks of the Gros venor CaaaL The deceased Mr. Bond was loce.master, and re sided near the canal. About five o'clock on Saturday evening he saw the deceased alive for the last time: he was then walking up the tow-path side of the canal. lie appeared to be in good health and spirits. About tour o'clock on Sunday morning Miss Bond, one of his daughters, knocked him up, and said that her mother Was very uneasy at the deceased not coming home, and requested hint to go and look after him. IVitness traced him to Mr. Carter's, the Union tavern, where he learned he had spent the preceding evening, but had left there about eleven o'clock at night. Wit_ nest went in every direction in search of him, but could hear no tidings. About seven o'clock he was walking up the aids of tho canal, and saw the deceased". suck floating on the surface of the water. Witness suspected, immediately that the deceased was drowned, and procured the grappling' irons to drag the canal for the body, and at about twelve o'clock in the forenoon the deceased was picked up about 200 yards from where witness saw the stick. His pockets were buttoned, and his money was safe. To a question from a Juror, he said. that Miss Bond told him that at one o'clock she heard the deceased talkiug to a gentleman near his residence.. Coroner—And you were not called upon to look for hint till four ? 11'itness answered in the affirmative. . Mrs. Hannah Carter, of the Union Tavern, Pimlico, seated, that the deceased occasionally came to her house, but till Satunlay night last, be had not been there for six week'. He came about nine o'clock, and remained there till eleven, when he went away with a gentlemen named Baker. Ile was in excellent health and spirits, and witness considers he was quite capable of salting care of him self; he was not inspriated, having drank (silly a glass of gin and water, and three pints of porter during the time he was there. On leaving the house, he wished to treat Mr. Baker with a glass of gin and bitters; but witness advised him not to have any, as he had such a dangerous way to go home, but he only laughed at her ad vice. The Foreman of the Jury said, that it was his opinion that the deceased, who was in the habit of walking with his hands in h:s poilets, had from the efrects of the potations he had taken, stumbled over the hillocks on the foot-path, and had fallen into the water. In this, the whole of the Juroniscquieseed, and returned a Verttiet.--•• That the deceased was accidentally drowned" DREADFUL OCCURRENCE NEAR SCARBOROUGH. I A poor, but well-disposed and industrious woman, of the name of Outhwaite, the wile of a shoemaker, residing at the village of Cloughtan, near Scarborough, and the mother of four children, the youngest of which is but a few mcnths old, having business at the latter place on Fritlay last. resolved to take home, for the use of herself and children, a small portion of an opening medicine. ‘Vith this view, she called at a druggist's shop in Scarborough, ' ordered the Mlle, and said she would call for it before she left the town. It was accordingly weighed and placed ready for the poor woman. In the interim, however, a farmer called at the same shop, and desired one ounce of arsenic to be weighed, and he would , call for it in a short time. The dangerous mineral was also got ready according to order, and as a proper precaution, the word " poison" was written on the paper containing it ; but, unfortun ately, the two were placed together. The poor woman called the first for her medicine—she received the wrong packet--she could not reittt--she travelled home to her little family, the unsuspecting messenger of death. Soon after her return, she ;rare some of the arsenic to three of her hapless children, one of them eight years of age, the second six, and the third only four. Ttftrpoor woman also took a larger portion herself. Death now commenced his harm, and the dread ful effects which always attend the taking of a deadly poison, were soon triumphant over the tender frames of the little innocents. The moat excruciating agonies portended immediate dissolution ; and the miserable mother, forgetting her own bodily sufferings, whilst witnessing the pangs of her children, became an object of the most unqualified pity and boundless sympathy. No medical assistant was near. and still more strange, no one was sent fur. Stupefac tion, or distraction must have fixed upon the wretched parent.; and in that state, she beheld her three beloved children expire before her, the helpless victims of a mistake, which we ate almost in clined to call criminal. Death, however, bad not completed his work. The mother Will still left, with her infant—her only surviving child—laid upon her lap, unconscious of it's' parent's woe. She felt the pangs of ap proaching dissolution—but death had lost his terrors—be had be. come a welcome messenger—the delight of her eyes had departed, and, oh ! dreadful thought ! she had been the innocent agent.' No medical adviser still was sent for. She struggled with the fell de. stoyer till morning began to dawn, when, about the hour of five, her wounded spirit took its flight to the eternal mansions, whither her children had departed. The infant, her only surviving child. we hear, is also in a dan gerous state—it having untbrtunately been suckled by the mothir, after she bad taken the peliaon A Coroner's Jury sat upon the bodies of the deceased ; and, lifer a very minute Investigation into all the circumstances of the case. they delivered a verdict (as regarded each) of" Accidental Death." —York Herald. Dt:MBNI.II3 CORSO BY STR•ll.—Between two and three months ago, a young girl, who belonged to a respectable family in E dinburgh, lost her voice and became completely dumb, in consequence of an inflanimation of the lungs. The most eminent of the faculty there declared that they could do nothing for her. Iler friends revolved that she should take the advice of Sir Astley Cooper, and about a month ago she embarked on hoard the Edinburgh Castle steam packet, for that purpose. The machinery of the engine became deranged on her way, and an alarM was spread amongst some of the female passengers, that the boiler was about to burst. The fright of the poor girl was so great, 'as to have a powerful effect upon her disorder. She cried aloud and suddenly recovered the use of her tongue, which she exercised sufficiently until her return.home, no doubt under the apprehension, that if she did not, thete might be danger of a relapse. DREA DEE I. FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock, a sudden burst of flame through the lower part of the house of Mr. James Conod, varnish manufacturer, of Nordi-street, Oxford-road, discovered to the inmates tha; the house was on fire. The flames rapidly ascended through the house, and the family were obliged quickly to retreat to the roof, across which they escaped. A servant girl, in the alarm of the moment, jumped from a wicdow into the street, and her thigh was broken. Mrs. Conod, who is rather in in, sustained some very serious injuries, but none of t other fart of the family were much hurt. The flames ded through out the building, which, in a short tim destroyed. The adjoining house of Mr. Young, carpe -manufacturer, was much burned. Mr. Coned is insured. The fire, it is supposed, was caused by th'e explosion of some com bustibles. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Sunday evening, soon after nine o'clock, a lady and gentleman and infant, of the name of Doyley, residing in Iligh-street, illoonisbury, were returning from their cottage at Harrow, to their re sidence, in a gig, through Oxford-street, when the horse took fright, it is supposed from the springing of a watch. man's rattle, and plunging against a wagon, the gig was debited to pieces, and the party thrown out. The lady and coilal were carried into the shop of Mr. Mount, surgeon. in a state of insensibility, and upon being examined, Mrs. Dayley was found to have received a dreadful wound across the face; the child was nearly *rushed from her falling on it, and is head almost scalped, the hair being torn across the side of the head to some extent. The wounds of both were dressed, and accommodation provided for themiu the house, as it was considered dangerous to remove them. Mr. Daley only received some few contusions. SU ICIDL.—A Mr. S.
