UNITED ("MILIAN COMPAN.Y. eMerday a Meeting of the Shareholder. in this Company took plate at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill. for the purpose oisseeiving back the deposits paid upon the shares they lichl io the Come. At ha pan lf-past one Lord Teynham took the Chair. regretted trakthere hail been no disposition manifested upon the part of the Directors, (with the exception of himself and his son, and 31r. An. ruction), to meet the proposal of the Shareholders, and repeated that be and his eon were ready to contribute their shares of the de. Acetify complained of. The circumstance of the bankruptcy of Mr. Hendricks, the projector of the Company, had of course inter fered with the arrangement for paying nfl the deposits. lie thought it would he advisable to withdraw the money front the bands of the hankers, which was calculated would pay M. 4*. per share. and distribute it amongst the Shareholder.. Afterwards an exertion . might be made to induce all the Directors to pay up the deficiencies, amounting to IL Ifs. per ewe, so that the Shareholders might be at no Armee loss than 10s. per share. 'lbis statement excited considerable disapprobation, and a Share. holder declared that he had expected, from what occurred at the lost Meeting, that H. 10s. would be paid upon the shares this very di tordTETIMAN said the fact was, they formed no company at all. Mr. Hendricks was the proprietor of what was called the Company. —end, bad taken the whole responsibility upon himself, and he ( Lori -Araynbun) and his son had signed the drafts for the 1.0001. of the sane subscribed, merely for the purpose of dissolving it. lie the Shareholders would take the 31. 10s. per share ; if not, ..blery must cdopt whatever course they thought most advisable. Mr. Aextentnt said, the share* might to be paid off at par. Be weel4 do all hecould to aceompli.h that object. A timastenotnEtt said, that the Directors might, if they pleased, look to Mr. Hendricks, but the Shareholdeta must look to • the Directors, and to them alone. Lord TETNIIAM repeated. that he was willing to pa► hiv -peopeetion of the deficiency complained of ; but he begged to know whether any one present thought him such an ass as to pay what sight to be contributed by nine Director.. He knew nothing of the gentlemen in the direction, with the exception of his own son ; mg he had signed the drafts while on a sick bed. God Almighty imam be derived no profit from that transaction; and that he most •arnenlT wished he had never beard a word about the Company. (A (suet.) The Shateholdtts were almost unanimous in the opinion that his ilasdehip ought to pay cam , farthing. They pulled out their Awes, and said they were ready to receive their money ; they ex irooted not to be any longer humbugged. Mr. Alf XTCHINI said, that 31r. Hendricks had stated as a reason for not coming to a settlement, that hind Teynham and another Director owed him between 4001. and MK Lord TEYNIIAM—That belongs to another transaction ; it refers 10 abates in soother company. A SnAnnioz.nen—My Lord, here's a printer's bill of up wards of btu/. • Lad TETNIIAM—Oh. I hove nothing to do with that. God -.knows, I haveenough to do with the Shareholders. A 'Jew SitsitEnotnxit—l hope. my Lurd, you are not a Di .rector in anv other mining Company? • Lord TEYNHAM—No, thank God. I never regretted any thing /so touch in my life as my connexion with City Companies. I have certainly acted most foolishly in giving my sanction to those things, buil have been punished for it. I have made every inquiry into the nature of the mining speculations, since I have found myself in 'llftoT, and have ascertained, beyond a doubt, that mining in South -America is all nonsense. An intelligent Captain the other day •aseured me that in the new mining districts the roads were filkd with broken carte, broken tools, and drunken Englishmen and -Seetehmen. (Loud laughter.) •A SHAVY.HOLDER Vier' moved that the sum of St 4s. upon each •Atareliboold be accepted by the Shareholders, in pan payment of •tbirtlepoitt money.—Thia motion was rgrreed to unanimously. • It was also proposed. that on the 2J of June the Shareholders illhould again meet, for the purpose of reeeiving whatever might be 'collected from the Dirceturs.—'Phis was also agreed to.. . I Here a Shareholder called for a glass of beam!, and wale:, oat down next to Lord Teynham. and said. •• Yon had better, my Lord. send off to the hankers for the little money there; we'll Bah it now, if you please." Lord Teynham sent to the bankers, but word vu brought back sem the check most be countersigned by 3lr. Hendricks. The Shareholders were thunderstruck at this intelligence. A Solicitor, who attended upon the part of one of the Di. -rectors, suggested the propriety of waiting until Mr. Ilendricka' •oesmination berme the Commissioners of Bankrupts should take pieee: es it mii.,ht come out, before the Commissioners what had beet done with the shares which had been purchased by the bankrupt hr the desire of the Directors. Lard TETNIIAPI said there was nn occasion for waiting, as the there, had been properly disposed of. He would himself go to 'the barkers. His Lordship then left the room, accompanied by te Shareholder on each side. • On his Lordship's return, he informed the meeting that all was right; and three was a general cry of joy at the intelligence. His Lordship then took the shares from the holders, who pee a receipt on the back of them; which is a complete bar to pny future action for the recovery of the remainder of the de tain. One of the Shareholders. upon receiving his money, took his 'Lordship by the hand—" Well, my 1.0rt1." said he, "God bless ytatr ; 11l see you again on the 2d of June." TIN business being concluded, Lord Teynham and his son re.

This was an action brought hy - aiatTillo;tl spinal his tenant for an injury to the reversion, in removing four trees. At the trial before the loird Chief Justice in this place, after last Hilary Term, it was proved on the part of the defendant thst there was an agreement between the parties that he should he allowed to remove all plants and shrubs. On the part of the plaintiff, however, it was positively sworn by his son, that the defendant had removed four apple and pear trevs. fixed to and growing in the soil. rpon this the jury found for the plaintiff, damages I/. . . Mr. I:civic:l - now moved for a rule to shew cause why the ver dict •hnuld t.ut hr set aside. and a new trial had, on the ground that the plaintiff's von had sworn falsely; and the Learned Counsel said he had the affidavits of no less titan eight persons, who posi tively deposed that there never were four apple and pear trees re moved.

THE DUKE OF SOMERSET V. TOOWELL. This was an action brought by the noble plaintiff against the de. fentlant, for breaking into and trespassing upon a fishery in the river Dart. At the trial before Mr. Justice Burrough, at the last Assiaes Inc the county of Devon, it appeared that the plaintiff had d, mused the fishery in question, for a term of three years. to one Nicholas Mill.; and it was objected, on the part of the defendant, that the plaintacould not recover in this action of trespass. On the part of the plaintiff, however, it was answered, that a fishery beicg en incorporeal hereditament, nothing whoever passed to Mills but the mere right to fish. Mr. Justice Burrough was of this opinion, and ibe Jury found for the plaintiff. Mr. SELWYN now moved to enter • nonsuit, on the ground that the action And been misconceived. The Learned Counsel con. tended that the fishery here was a thing of • possessory nature ; and the Doke of !Omens% haring, by the agreement proved at the trial, passed everything possessory in the fishery to Mills, the tenant, Mills alone was entitled to bring the action.—Rule granted. THATCHER r. THOMPSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defendant, an accredited agent of the Venezuelan Government, the amount of • quantity of military equipments and atores, shipped for the service of that Stare in 1818. ,st the trial before the Lord Chief Justice in this place, at the sittings after last Hilary Term, it appeared that two supplies had been' furnished by the plaintiff, the latter of which had been paid for with an order drawn by the defendant on the Venezuelan Government, which was duly honoured. The present action was brought to recover the amount of the first supply ; and after 111 r. Scarlett had objected that the transaction was illegal, the Jury found for the plaintiff, under the direction of the Lord Chief Justice. aIIr..SCAILETT now moved for a rule to chew cause why a non. suit should not be entered. on the ground of misdirection in the Learned Judge who tried the cause, as he told the Jury that it did not appear the plaintiff knew the first supply was furnished for the service of a country engaged in war with her mother country. The Learned Counsel contended that the plaintiff must be aware of that fact from the payment of the amount of the second supply with an order on the Venmulan Government, and therefore the present claim could not be subject matter of investigation in a British Court of Justice. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE read over the whole of the evi dence given on the trial, and the Court was unanimously of opi. nion, that though the plaintiff was aware that the second supply WAS furnished to a state at war with her mother country, no such knowledge was proved on his part, as to the supply for which the present action was brought—Rule refused. THE BOROUGH OF CA MELFORD. DOE ON DEMISE OF THE EARL OF DARLINGTON V. TEE MARQUIS OF lIERTFORD. -.. This was an retion of ejectment brought by the Earl of Darling. ton against the Nuble defendant to recover pottscssion of a piece or parcel of land. containing 41 feet frontage, in the borough of Camelford. The defendant was assignee of a lease for lives of the ground in question, which contained a covenant that no waste should be committed by the tenant to the amount of ten shillings; and if there should be, and the same was not remedied or paid for within three calendar months, there was a clause of re-entry. The breach assigned was the convenion of one tenement into four, and the erection of three cottages on the site of an ancient bullock shed. The Jury found for the plaintiff: 31r. C. t . IWA sts now moved foe a rule to 'thew cause why a new trial should not be had, and contended that this was not waste, but improvement. Mr. Justice BAYLEY observed that the defendant had made seven votes where there had only been one. Mr. I % . F.lrt LI. I AMR said he had no doubt that that was the sub ject of dispute between these two noble persons, from the very corn oendiroui mode of ejectment to which the plaintiff had resorted • because, finding that these cottages were building. he had taken ad : : vantage of a power reserved in the lease to dig and search for mines and minerals, and having sunk a shaft near the forge in quo. he cut an edit under the erections. and with about half a hundred weight of gunpowder blew the whole into the air. (laughter.) The Lotto ('titer J ST ICE--Some of us at least are of opinion that you have laid ground sufficient for a rule to chew cause. In one sense, waste may be committed by an alteration of the surface, as, for instance, turning arable land into pasture, so is to destroy evidence of title; but here the que s tion is, whether actual waste has been committed to the amount of ten shillings ? Rule granted. Mr. Horace Smith has proved, by the production of his popular Novel of Bramble/ye Horse, that his talent in not confirid to burlesque and parody, but that his 0/ i,,?;///// vein is no less re. markable than his imitative. The keen insight into character, a..! power of depicting it, as manifested in the shove work, witet,-iu tit, profligate Charles 11. and his Court of Cavaliers and jewelled dames, revel and make love and are witty, as in actual life, are scarcely surpassed by any living author ; and, from the complete success of his first attempt in Novel-writing, we may venture to predict that the public will be entertained, from time to time, by a series of works which will do honour to English Literature. SINGULAR COURAGE.—We have to record sit instance of female heroism in a servant of Mr. Ridding. the town clerk of Southampton, that is rarely equalled, arising out of her determined and successful resistance of two villains, who on Saturday morn ing, broke into that gentleman's house. Mr. R. sleeps out of the town, and there were none hut females in the house. About two in the morning Eliza Oakley, the female in question, was awakened by a noise below st a i rs ; and having alarmed bliss' Rid. ding, the courageous girl descended to reconnoitre, and arming herself with two pockets, discovered two men with a lighted candle in the passage, and the office and cellar doors open. To intimidate them, she called out the names of Mr. R.'s clerks, as though sum moning ale.istance, but this was of no avail, as one of the villains, telling her that he knew there was no man in the house, began to ascend the stairs. The girl instantly made several blows at him with one of the pokers, which he, however. parried widi his aims; and, ar length, wrenched it from her ht.f.l, and in so doing stag. gered down the steins. She then threw the other poker at hi n, but missed him. The other rulian, who had remained in the passage, now betrayed his fears of detection, and endeavoured to persuade his companion to go: this he refused, taut again endeavoured to ascend, but was repulsed by the girl, who had armed herself with wine pieces of coal from a coal scuttle, lied throwing some large lumps at him, she kept him at hay, until the villain, observing that her missiles were nearly expended, again endeavoured to rush up the siairs,when the girl threw the coal scuttle (a heavy copper sine), coals and all, at the head of her assailant; the blow took eft ; he foil backwards down the stairs, and was carried by the other villain dos n the cellar stair s: by t hi s titne a woodman, who had been alarmed by the cries of the oilier females from the window, ar rived, and after springing his rattle, warred deliberately up to the cage to procure assistance, on the arrival of which it was discovered that the thieves had gained an entrance by scaling the garden wail, forcing open the shut ters o f t h e back cellar, anti thug ascending into the house. In the passage were three coats ready for removal ; and in the back yard was found a tray, containing the plate. and some small boxes, taken from the kitchen and laundry, and a con eiderable quantity of meat from the larder. A great quantity of blood wan found on the spot where the fellow fell, and a large piece of flesh, which had been eat by the scuttle from his face. IV, are happy to find that the girl is likely to be rewarded for her extraor. dioary courage by several gentlemen. THE BRITISH PRESS. DEPRESSED STATE OF TRADE. A number of lace machine-ntakers, framemnitba, Ste. paned through Leicester on Wednesday evening, on the Nottingham roaches, on their way to France.

There were but seven pieces of linen sold in Clonakilty nv the last market day. The average number of pieces usually soid on each market-day is three hundred.—Cork Chronicle. Li.tle or no alteration hat taken place in the state of trade in this district since our last. There has been no improvement in prices. Awl if there has hem a little more business done in the Cloth and Stuff flails, it has been so inconsiderable, as not at all to increase the demand for labour, and the sufferings and privations of the manufacturing classes are not nereeptibly diniinithed.Lcds Mer cury. The leather trade in Olesgow was never known to be in a more depressed state than at prevent. Business is at a stand still ; and few sales making. Several failure, have occurred, sad a number of tannery and eurriers are going idle. Even young tune who were learning as apprentices, hut were not bound, have been discharged ; those retained being married men, on account of their families. Lamentable as the condition of Polloekahaws already is, a frightful addition is about to be made to the general Morelia slesers. Mon teath think it prudent to shut up their extensive cotton works .for a time. This will throw about apo workers out of employment. and be the cause of 2:411. a week being withdrawn from circulation in the town. On Friday last a meeting was held to consider of the best means of devising speedy relief for the weavers, and others out of employment. Sir John Maxwell Was called to the chair. A petition from the weavers was laid before the meeting, which stated their distress In plain and general terms, and prayed for assistance. It stated that they did not by any means ask gratui tous relief. as they were willing to work at any sort of out-door Mote. Along with the petition, there wits a statement of a num ber of webs that were going to respectable manufacturers, the prices of which were so dreadfully reduced, that it was utterly im possible for the workman to support himself. The following is a fair sample : A 1200 5-4th lawn-stripe, 30. an ell weaving A 1300 4.4 th lawn ford, Sid. A 1300 i 5-4th lawn, 2 A 1400 5-4th do. Sidt A 1400 11.11 th do. 4*(l.

The above work can only be wrought by good tradesmen, and it will require great exertion to earn from la. to Is. 3d. a day. Several gentlemen delivered their opinion ; and on the suggestion of Mr. Maxwell, a Committee of weavers was appointed, to ascertain the number out of employment, and report to another Comtnittee, which was appointed to meet on Tuesday afternoon.—Glargom eh r on irk. _ A correspondent from New Church, in the forest of Pendle, writes to us as follows s—" This village contains 110 pairs of locals, only 20 of which are employed, earning four shillings per week each. A cut 30 yards long, and GI picks in the inch. is wove for Is. 3d. The parish relief for persons out of employ varies from od. to Is. 3d. each per week. The farmers complain daily of this distress, and say they cannot pay their rents. The overseer is compelled to distrain where he cannot obtain payment of the Icys; and tar two miles round the *reentry is in the same condition. You would be surprised to see what alterations there ere among the farmers; they are all for having the Corn Bill repealed, which they think the great ciuse of all their miseries."—Bolton The increased demand noticed in our last fur the country trade has been continued, though, perhaps, scarcely to the same extent, in the present week. We regret, however, that we have it not in our power to communicate any amendment in the twist or gray markets. In both these, we believe, prices are still lower than before; and we scarcely remember to have witnessed • more depressed feeling than prevailed last Tuesday, nor has there since been any improve ment. There have been several minor failures; and one of a very old established and respectable house, against whom a commission of bankruptcy has been issued.—Monciteater Guardian. In the village of Bullock Smithy there are 582 weavers, 459 of whom are totally out of employ. Our informant adds, that there are many large families who are entirely dependent on the very in. adequate allowance granted by the township, eked out by the charity of private individuals—Stockport Advertiser. The state of this district, we are sorry to say, presents no imme. diate prospect of amelioration; on the contrary, we have no hest. tattoo in saying, that for the last week or two the distress has been ro pgressively increasing, and more people are now out of employ than at any other period. Upwards of W. were last week paid to the casual poor, and the pressure upon the poor,' rates, in other respects, has become realty alarming. Instances have been brought to our notice of respectable shopkeepers who are unable, from the pressure of the times, to meet their payments ; a feet at once proving that the depression is not confined to one particular class, but that it is beginning to extend itself to the various trading 'ranches of the town. Many persons, who formerly were enabled to support their families in a comfortable, not to say opulent state. are now so reduced as to be unable to procure for them even the ne cessaries of life. If the despondency which pervades every branch of the community does not soon give place to a cheering feeling, resulting . from reviving prospects, we know not to what conse quences it may give rise; at present all is gloomy, disheartening, perhaps hopeless. We would it were in our power to throw a ray of comfort into this gloomy picture, by reporting an amelioration in our vicinity ; but, alas ! it is not In our power ; at Congleton, at Leek, and at Stockport, little or no improvement is perceptible, and our accounts from Staffordshire, in the neighbourhood of the Potteries, say, that trade is there in a most "stale, fiat, and unpro fitable' state, the cause for which, as some allege, is the general scarcity of money.—Macclesfield Herald. POLICE. WORSHIP-STREET: Yesterday a man named Maass Wilson was charged with a fraud on Mr. Boards, of No. 42, Shoreditch, pawnbroker. Mr. Boards stated, that on Saturday night, in the harry of busi ness, the prisoner offered a watch chain to him hi pledge, for 255. He thought it was gold, and lent 10s. on it. The prisoner after. wards returned to pledge another chain, which induced witness to ask him it he was sure it was gold. The prisoner declared it was, and complainant lent him IN., but in the morning found it was only brass, or some spurious metal. . . Mr. Osaonstz—lf you take in such articles at night you can have nn remedy. Mr. Boards asked if the Magistrate would remand the prisoner, for the production of other charges against him. The Magistrate said he could Mot, and the Wapner was dia. charged. A young man, named S. Cummins, resident in Cob's-court, Petticoat-lane. wet then brought before the Magistrate, who, it ap. peered, had for some time past been suspected of harbouring boys in his house, and training them to dishonest pursuits. On Sunday night the mother of one of these boys applied to a watchman for his assistance to take her son from the prisooer's house. The watchman understanding there was stolen property in the place, in formed the 'officers, who, on searching, found several bundles of linen, a quantity of single twilled seeking, quite new, and cut into lengths for snaking bags, and, in s corner of the MOM, an elegant rosewond writing desk and a large mcwocect bill-ease. In the lat. ter were found two brass stamps, one of them with the word " An trim," in old English letters, the other an Earl's coronet. The pripaner was remanded until Saturday. lINIOV.HAI.L. ATTT.TIPT AT SITICIDE.- l Aboutfro'elock on Sunday night, as a azerlin:an, named Williams. was going his rounda, he was in a house kept by a Mr. Davidson. a hair-dresser, residing in 0:Iowan-road, Blackfriaw, to prevent his putting an end to his lila. Mr. ft, it appeared, had atternpte I to commit violence upon himself in the house, but, on being prevented, rushed outside the street door, with a razor in his hand. The watchman hastened to him, and arrived at the moment he was about to lift the razor to his head. The watchman seized him by the collar with one hand, and struck him on the arm with his stick, with the intention of knocking the razor nut of his hand. In this he did not succeed, and .Mr. D. struck the watchman with the razor precisely under the left ear, and inflicted a dreadful wound. Williams fell, and some other watchmen coming to his assistance, he was taken to the watch. hoit.e, where several surgeons hound up the wound, and he was afterwards conveyed to Ouy's Hospital. On his arrival he was wholly insensible, and the surgeons of that establishment gave it as their opinion that he would not live many hours. After Mr. D. had committed the &netts! act, he returned to his home, and was preparing to retire to bed, when constables entered, lull placed hint in the watchlinuse. Yesterday Davidson was brought in custody to this office, and the certificate of the house surgeon of Guy's Hospital was read, which MAIM that he could not pronounce any decided opinion on . William» s ease nod his wounds had been dressed another time. Mr. HARMER &touted for the prisoner, and said that his client was perfectly u. conscious of all that happened on the night in question, being at the time in a state of intoxication. The Magistrate declined putting any questions to the prisoner, and remandedihim tuftil the Lite of the wounded man is known. Twenty.seven Irishmen were afterwards placed at the bar, in Parties. charged with having excited the alarming disturbance, cnu•ed by a fight between the Connaught and Munster men, de. scribal in our paper of yesterday, in the neighbourhood of Lam beth, on Sunday morning. It was mated that the Connaught man who had been taken to the Hospital, notwithstanding the serious nature of his wounds, had contrived to leave it during the night, without the knowledge of any one connected with the Institution. Most of the prisoners had recently quitted " the green isle," and their defence was delivered in language tar front intelligible, but they all declared their Innocence cf the crime with whi...11 they were charged, and several affirmed that they did not know how to use a abillelagh. • The Magistrate bold the whole of them to bail.

SPORTING INTRLLIGENCR. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETlNG.—(Concluded.) The last day's races were unqualleedly pod, and gate peat satisfaction. We glee further particulars.

The Plate.-7 to' 4 against Pigmy, 3to I against Rigmarole, and 6 and and Ii to I against Leila.

Itedra4ntlet and Lluuel Lincoln cut out the work to the cord•, when Crlfial Ira up, and a desperate raceemmed, the latter winning by a neck. A severe contest took place between Reditatintlet and Lionel for the se cond place (the owner of the second horse being allowed to withdraw his the', which was terminated it; favour of the former by a w , •ck ; rode by Ikobhnon , Lionel by Gooch •on, the winner Ly Arnull, liougumnont by S.

This race was kern.y contested i It lay between The Palfrey and Wantba to the nerds, when Tory came up, And won a slasbit.g race by a head i rode by J. Day, The Palfrey by Robinson, and Wainba by Buckle. Sweepstakes of 200 each.. N.M. Ire stated this race Incorrectly in our paper of Saturday. It wee ran thus Lord Exeter's f. by Worni—Pant'ng ...... .......... I His Royal ilighue, the Duke of Tbrk's c. by Wofol, dam by Ruben. 2 The betting opened at 6 to 4 on the Duke's, at which odds a great deal was done; It then retrogaded to IS to 4, then to even, and finally settled lu favour of Lord Exeter. This was a waiting race till they had passed the bush.., when Robinson let go the Marquis's mare, who proved, In a few *tildes, her superiority over the Duke's, and won In a ranter. Goodison rode the loser. On leaving the Heath a serious accident had very nearly befallen Lord Veralam, whose horse fell, and maid over with him, but without any in jury beyond the shock. • Our express arrived too late on (Friday night to enable us to offer any thing like a review of the week's running, so as to arrive at the conclusion of who is likely to win the Derby. The et wen Stakes led us to believe that the Doke of Grafton's stables anti Mr. Wyndhanes could not fly, Addy Ithe favourite) and Bolero not being placed. The next was a han dicap : Scandal won with some diniculty, and we think we may venture to predict the second horse (Wadham Wyndlam's) winner of the Derby. Scandal, last October, beat everything In a common canter (Camel, fur instance, the present winner of the l'ort), and was never run so close when in form before. To make this running correct, Muleteer, who In this handicap was beat off easy, boat a field of horses on Wednesday In a subscription plate, Pigmy being second, just as they ran in October twelve month ; and on Friday, still (slither to confirm the running, Rigmarole, who was third In the handicap un Monday, and beat easily at 141 b, beats /tandem in a canter !the latter the favourite), and afterwards, in a sub scription plate :the winner to be sold for Mai, was jest beat by a head by Pigmy, who was beat easily by Muleteer. We therefore assert that Mr. Wadham Wyndham's horse ix one of the best tried public horses In the world. There ran be no doubt about the piece of Scandal and Muleteer. The Itiddiesworth has left The Moslem second favourite fur the Derby, be cause he beats a horse ;who gives him Mb, as slow as a man injackbussts : there la nothing in this race to confirm the pace that Is good or bad. Now for Advance: it he could lie made to run straight he would decidedly have a goad chance, having destroyed Rowena Norman) ala Scandsu ; but alas ! poor Yorick, where be your jibes now I he stuck his knife In the wall when whining in a canter with Dervise. A word to the wise;—who. ever ride-, him at Epsom may as well make his will and settle his affairs before starting. Bolivar .;the Duke of Rutland's; was also beat very easy by Parapluie and Rachael ; his (Bolivar's chance, therefore, cannot be very good. Parapluje will, from this running, be very near the Oaks. Monarch, the first favourite, did all there was for him to do ; he beat a bad mare but the rare neither tells for not against him. He appears a very tine horse, with a particularly good temper, and would make a tare with a don key nothing in this to show the pace. The IVaterman and Rowena race glm, Advance to have the first-rate speed. A word or two un Panic : Hotiduca was beat very easy by Rigmarole, and Pastime, as they vulgarly say, " wan dished to —" in the Claret. These, we presume, came as trial nags ; but if Panic is not in better form than this, we do nut hesitate to say that he will belong to the firm of Miss Jig, Helenas, Pastime, and Co.--that this Panic will create almost as much consternation as a late one, and will occasion a pretty considerabie run un the banks. Has Swiss Guide any pretensions to a good horse I If be has, Mr. Hush's Carthago will be one of the tirst three for the Derby. Battertly, the first favourite for the Oaks, beat a thing that could not gallop ; and as Henries ran so well fur the Riddleswarth, and Ariel for the handicap, where he Was beat easy by 111 r.Wailham Wyndham's, perhaps this Butterfly Is no flyer after alt. Should Paul Jones's running In October prove correct, his Majesty's ought to be first favourite among the fillies. " A pot boiled over—strike me tacky !"

Ile demanded her money. which the woman refusing to give, the miscreant caught her by the throat, and tom• menced searching her person ; she resisted him with all her might. but was prevented calling out, being deprived of the power of speaking by the desperate hold of the villain on her throat; she struggled with him for several minutes. during which her clothes were nearly torn off; at last she dropped her child on the ground, but still continued to protect herself. The wretch finding that be was thus opposed, swore that, if she did not give or her money, lua would stamp out the brains of the infant, following up this by letting go her throat, and giving her a violent kick on the back I the poor creature fearful for the lite of her child, being greatly in , seeing noone to assist her, permitted the fellow:to tear her ! jured by the kick, exhausted from the length of the stniggle , a n d p o cketoff, which contained 3s. ; with this he decamped. and she was so weak that she could not follow him, 'nor for a c o nsiderable time could she move from the spot to give alarm ; when she did , no traced the miscreant could be found ; site says he was a middle.sisol man, and must, she is assured, have several marks in his face from her nails, as she repeatedly scratched hint.
