The festival derived addi tional importance from its being also a farewell party to the Princess Dagmar previous to her departure for Russia. Amongst the guests were the Ministers, the corps diplo matique, and many high civil and military functionaries, all the officers of the garrison, and the naval and civic offi cers, besides a largo number of the inhabitants of Copen hagen and others invited to this royal family gathering. About ten o'clock their Majesties the King and Queen and the royal family entered the splendidly decorated halls, mixing and conversing with the guests, after which dancing commenced with some specially arranged dances in honour of the Queen and the princess. Supper was served at half past one, in the Hall of Knights. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATIL—Last night Mr. W. Payne, the City coroner, held an inquest at the Greyhound Tavern, Milton -street, Cripplegate, on the body of a. cab man, named William Green, aged 57 years. The deceased resided in Cripplegate, and on Monday morning last, at half-past six o'clock, the deceased went down stairs to got some water from the butt in the yard; after about an hour his wife called down stairs to him, but received no answer. She sent her daughter down stairs when she saw her father lying in the passage in his shirt. She called and shook him, but could not get any answer. Assistance was imme diately called in, when the deceased was found to be quite dead. The doctor's evidence showed that the deceased had been in a violent fit, had a large rupture, and that he had died from apoplexy. The jury returned a verdict to that effect. , - Witness—l almost implored him to stray.. He said "No," and told the little boy to dress himself. He went on to remark that they were both going into the country—a long way off.- He told the child when he was going away to shake hands with his aunt, as he weal(' never see her again. There was some food in the cupboard, and I told the boy to take some of it,' but the child said he was not hungry. The prisoner, however, took two •of the cold potatoes and put them in his pocket, saying that he might want them on the road. When my wife was re monstrating with him about taking the child away, he told her to mind her own business. There not being a light in the room he wont out, and shortly after he returned with a candle and matches. Prisoner cut the candle in two, and told the little boy to put his hand in his pocket and take some paper out. The child did as it was directed, and the candle being wrapped in paper the pri soner put it into his pocket, and having taken some lucifer matches out of the box that he had brought in with him he threw the box containing the remainder on the floor. They then went away. Mr. Vaughan— Did you see the dead body of the child in the dead-house the next morning ? Witness—No, sir, my sister did. I have not seen the child since he loft. Mr. Vaughan—Have you ever hoard the prisoner use any expressions about the child ? _ Witness—About a fortnight before he came to our house I heard him say that he did not believe the child was his. Mr. Vaughan—Do you recollect what led to that ? _ Witness—We were having some conversation about his wife. Mr. Vaughan—Was he irritated when he said that? Witness—He appeared as if he had been drinking. Mr. Vaughan—You never heard objections of that kind before, have you ? Witness—l havo heard him say that the child should not be a trouble to any one much longer. Mr. Vaughan—When would be about the time when you heard that ? Witness—l cannot say, but I should say it would be within a period of two or three months. Mr. Vaughan—ls there anything else that you wish to add to your evidence ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Vaughan to prisoner —Do you wish to ask the wit ness any questions ? Prisoner—Yes ; one or two. Addressing the witness— Did I not assign a reasonn, for leaving your room ? Witness —No. •Prisoner—Didn't I say that the bugs bit so sharp that I was compelled to get up ? In answer to further questions from the prisoner, th• witness said—l believe you are given to swearing whou you have Wen drinking. I have never placed particular constructions on your language. You may haVe said that you considered yourself justified i❑ living with another woman as your wife was living with another man, but I did not take any particular notice of what you said further than that the child should not be a trouble to any one long. I have seen you illuse the child once very much. Formerly you appeared to be very fond of the boy, but latterly you seemed to have altered altogether towards it. Prisoner—Did I ever use anything but my hand to correct the child ? Witaess—No, never, that I saw. Prisoner—Did your wife ever have to take care of the child ? Witness —Yes ; when she did you paid me 3s. a week for doing so. Prisoner—Did you ever see me take any unbecoming liberties with the child ? Witness—No, never. Prisoner—Did your children ever complain to you that I had taken any liberties with them ? Witness—No. Prisoner —Did my child ever make complaints to you that I had acted cruelly towards him ? Witness—No. Prisoner—Did not my child seem as ready to come to me as yours did to you ? Witness—l can't say that. Your child did not seem eager to go to you. Prisoner—l've nothing more to ask you. Mary Collett said—l reside at 15, Great Earl-street, and on the morning of the 30th of July I had occasion to go into the collar of that house to get some water at about a quarter-past six in the morning. I then saw the body of a boy hanging. I immediately ran up stairs and told my mother and father, and shortly after that the police con stable arrived. The body was hanging in the same state when the policeman cams as it was when I first saw it in the morning. Mr. Vaughan—Do you wish to ask this witness any questions ? • Prisoner—No ; none. Mr. Vaughan —ls the outside door of the house left open at night? Witness—Sometimes it is left open, but I cannot say positively whether it was open or shut on the Sunday night, but I believe it was open. Mr. Vaughan—Then, if the outside door was open, any one could go clown stairs from the street into the cellar. Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Vaughan—Have you ever seen the prisoner, at the bar, before ? Witness—No, sir. 31r, Vaughan—Then he did not live in the house. Witness—No, sir. Agnes Ingram—l reside at 16, Pleydell-street, Fleet street. I know the prisoner at the bar for about 9 months. He lodged in our house for about three weeks before the murder. He left on the Wednesda3i . before the 30th of July. I have washed two shirts and a pocket-handkerchief for the prisoner. The handkerchief that I speak of was similar in colour and pattern to the piece now before me [The portion of the handkerchief here referred to was that found tied round the hands of the murdered boy.] The last time I washed the handkerchief was about a week be fore ho went away. I never saw his son, but the prisoner has told me ho had a little boy, and he wanted to bring it to our house to stop for a day. Mr. Vaughan—ls there dnything peculiar with respect to the handkerchief ? Witness—When I washed the handkerchief I noticed that it was hemmed with black silk, and I was going to ask the prisoner whether he hemmed it himself. I see the piece of handkerchief now in my band is hemmed with black silk, and it is in all respects similar to that I have mentioned. Dr. Harvey, recalled. He said—When I first saw the body of the boy ho had been dead about ono to two hours. The body was warm, but the limbs were stiff. Richard Holden—l reside at 15, Great White Lion street, Seven Dials, and am a tailor. I have known the prisoner at the bar for a long time. On ono occasion the prisoner had been sleeping in my room, when ho got up in the night, and on awaking I found him sharpening a knife. I asked him what ho was going to do, and he said he was going to cut the throat of his boy and grandmother. I said to him, !‘ If you go out and a constable sees you with that• knife, see how you would bo situated." Prisoner con sidered for a bit, and then took the knife out of his pocket and returned it to the drawer from which he had taken it. This took place when I lived at 26, Tower-street, and about a week before last Christmas, Mr. Vaughan.—Was he sober at the time ? Witness.—Oh, yes; he was quite sober. Prisoner. —Gave you neTer heard the boy say that ho had two fathers ? Witness.—Yes ; I recollect once hearing him say so. Mr. Vaughan.—Did you tell the prisoner that the child had said he had got another father ? Witness.—Yes. Prisonor.And didn't you say you thought thero was something wrong ? Witnoss.—Yes: Prisoner.—Have you ever heard that my wife had had a child by another person ? I.lr, Vaughan—ldon't like to interfere, but I don't think POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBORO UGH-S TREE T. ALLEGED SYSTEMATIC SWlNDLlNG.—Frederick Barnes, described as a hat manufacturer ; of 52, Harley-road West, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, by Thos Rosokilly, one of the warrant Officers, charged with obtain ing by false and fraudulent pretences a quantity of mate rials for making hats, etc., of the value of £175, from Mrs. Ann Long, a widow, residing at 83, Gower-street, Bedford square. Mr. Sayer, from theoffice of Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution, and, in opening the case, stated that there would be other charges against the prisoner on a future occasion. Mrs. Long said—ln the month of August last I had a hat making business in Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, for sale. In consequence of an advertisement for the sale of the business by tender, a man named Rowley called on me and said he had a friend who wonld purchase the busi ness. The next day the prisoner came and looked at the stock, and offered me £175. Besides the property included in the tender I agreed to sell the prisoner a few things for £lO 75., and the prisoner found the ready money fur them. The prisoner said he was a hat manufacturer, in John-streei, Clerkenwell, and that he had a first class business in Princes-street, Leicester-square. He said some of the goods were too good for Clerkenwell but would suit the West-end. He said ho had a country house, and agreed to give £175 for the stock and business. On the 30th of August last the prisoner called and apologised for not being able to pay ready money, in consequence of his broker having disappointed him in the sale of some Metro politan Railway shares. He sq.id he would give him a draft for £175, payable in seven days, if he would accept it, and in the interim the prisoner would pay for tho shares. Ho also said that his bankers were the Lundon and County Bank, Shoreditch branch. He produced . a piece of paper purporting to be the draft, with his acceptance across it, and I signed it. He then wrote a receipt for the draft, and I signed it. I waited 7 days, and_ then went to the bank, and found the prisoner was not known there, and had no account there ; " no account" being written at the bank on the supposed draft. On calling at a shop in Clerken well, and seeing the prisoner and telling what had occurred at the bank, ho appeared to be very much offended with the persons at the bank, and said Ito would speak to some of their customers about their conduct. He further said that why they were offended with him was because he had withdrawn his money from the bank at the time of the panic. He promised to call on me the next day, but did not d o so, an d on my son go i ng to Princes-street ho found no person of the name of Barnes kept a hat shop in the street. I afterwards went to the prisoner's shop in John-street, Clerkenwell, and found it closed, the prisoner having left suddenly. I then applied for the warrant. Mr. Tyrwhitt—The priSoner will be remanded. WESTMINSTER. NATIVE SIMPLICITY. —A good-looking girl, apparently about eighteen years of age, came to the court this morn ing, and, addressing Mr. Flowers, the presiding magistrate, said, "I am afraid a man won't pay me for my child, and I wish you would be good enough to make him." Mr. Flowers.—ls he the father of it? Applicant.-oh, yes ; of course he is. Mr. Flowers.— Have you ever sworn the child to Lim ? Applicant.—No. Must I ? .Can't you help me without? Mr. Flowers.—No, I cannot. He is not bound in law to maintain the child without an order is made upon him to that effect. You must summons him, and then I can com pel him. Has he given you any money fur the child? Applicant.—No ; I can't get to see him. I have done all I could. I wont yesterday to his house with the child, and saw his wife, and I offered her the child, and told her she could do as she liked with it. Although it is his child, he is not my husband. Mr. Flowers.—That' s the worst of it. There would be very little difficulty if he were. You are single, I sup pose ? Applicant.— Yes, I am, although I have a child. I should be better off, of course, if 1 was married, but I ain't. I don't know what lamto do with the. child. His wife won't havo it, and won't let me see him. Mr. Flowers.—There is nothing very extraordinary, perhaps, in that. If you can produco the necessary corro borative evidence, you can have a summons. Applicant brawled out that she could, and took the summons. THAMES. Tin FVRIOITS Mns. ROBINSON AGAlN.—Sarah Robinson, who is about 50 years of ago, and has been in custody re peatedly for drunkenness, asaults, and outrages, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with violently beating her husband last night. Robert Robinson, a tall and hard working man, of No. 6, Mary-street, Limehouso, said he was a shipwright, and the prisoner was, to his great misfortune, his wife, the bane of his existence. She had heaped sorrow and trouble on his head. They had five children, and only one, a boy aged Saturday, after an imprisonment of two months. She had been l intoxicated was xite a disturbance ever since Yesterday she went out and returned in the even ing gloriously intoxicated, and commenced abusing nlca at td home .tiud making Ibis is wife came out of prison last him and threatening him.

Partridge—Where did she strike you with the fender ? . ......... Witness— She thraw it at me and knocked me down. - .. The prisoner—He knocks me about and illuses me. Ile continually gives me blows. Frederick Betts, landlord of the house in Mary-street said the prisoner had been 12 months in prison ha the course of the last two years. Last night she was either drunk or mad. Sho threw pieces of lighted paper down the stairs, and on the staircase, and threw newspapers on them for the purpose of setting the house on fire. She struck her husband with a candlestick, and threw him down stairs. The complainant was a q uiet, respectable man, and lived with his son in the great est h armony before his wife came home. She was a dang erous nuisanco. imprisonment3lr . an — d The complainant—Ho w ant I to be protected in future ? Mr. Partridge—come h e r e if she annoys you again. The case is over. —'Cho labour. ed prisoner i s sentenced to one month's DEATH AT A FIRE.—A fire occurred at Stock port on Tuesday morning at which a man was killed. The flames broke out in the . top storey of a rather lofty building. They who discovered it thought they had extinguished the fire. But it smouldered, and some hours after broke out afresh, with increased violence. It spread until the whole building was gutted. A man named New ton was sent to aid the members of the fire brigade, and whilst in one of the rooms the roof fell in upon him and s o u th el e t r i s nu others. j l rie ie s that they waspickedlp dead, and th e o th ers sus t a i ne d had to be removed to the infirmary. Their hurts were not very dangerous. The lion. Gerald and Lady Louisa Dillon and Mr. and Mrs. Biddle have arrived at Brown's Hotel. Lieutenant-Colonel and Mrs. Gubbins have left Farrance's Hotel for Paris, on their way to Malta. ODEON.—What would have become of the French playwrights had the Bishop of Llaudaff submitted to ConvoCation Horace Walpole's proposition to eliminate the " not" from the seventh portion of our Decalogue ? ,Walpole suggested that.it would have saved -a great deal of litigation and inconveni ence; but what would the playwrights have done without their darling trim. con.? It is the founda tion of nearly every French play since the " Mystere" was played on the Place du Parvis Notre Dame, representing Joseph in Potiphac's household. Adultery is the keystone of the French dramatic arch, but it has rarely assumed so repul sive a form as in the " I.llaitre de lit Maison," which the town is rushing to see at the Odeon. M. Du bourg is a banker, whose household consists of a handsome wife and a handsome daughter—Mater pulchra filia pulchrior—and a sallow, sedate sort of IVerther-faced pianist, Lormier, who is, in fact, the Maitre de la Maison, for Madame Dubourg is his mistress, and has occupied that position for twelve years. The banker is neither a Georges Dandin nor a complacent husband, like Balzac's Marneffe ; yet he has submitted patiently to this humiliation for twelve years. He has seen this long-haired musician, a very caricature of Listz before he was churched, lolling listlessly with his dirty boots upon the rich damas-de-soie sofas, puffing cigars in the gilded salons, ordering about the servants as though they were his, and forcing Dubourg by his familiarities with his wife, to notice that which all the world had known for these 12 long years. Dubourg is driven to explain this enigma ; he confides to his friend Montgaillard that he has borne his misery that no esclandre might mar his child's marriage. He is a martyr, in fact, to his parental affection. Well, his daughter is married, and within a month after her marriage we find the banker dining with the newly-married pair, leaving his• Wife dining tete-a-tete at home with her lover. And. yet we are bidden to believe the banker, to be a man of high honour and spirit, because at the last he is goaded to call out the co-respondent. They fight at five paces ; Lormier is shot th r o ug h the heart, and Dubourg in the lungi. The pianiSt dies his dirty death behind the scenes—the banker shuffles off his mortal coil on the stage. Now we submit this is not a fathful portraiture of human nature. Nor is it even French nature, which is not essentially identical. French husbands are some times very obliging. The Duc de boasted that he was the best of husbands, as lie never en tered his wife's apartment without knocking at the door, " lest he might cause an esclandre." Marneffe is the type of this class, but they are creatures who are below contempt. Pay them the wages of their infamy and kick them out of the way. But Du bourg is represented as a gentleman and a man of honour. Where is the Moor's noble nature ? There, where he had garnered up his heart, would he keep his home as a cistern for foul toads to knot and gender in? You may hear the Turk at Stamboul saying, a twister of ringlets passing by : " Oh my soul, said a stick, would I could get at him." Had Dubourg no horsewhip in his house? Had he no blood in his veins ? No, he could have had neither, or he could not have borne his degradation. He permits his daughter to pass her life in an adulter ous home, permits this lanky musician to make it his Agapemone. Faugh ! it is too foul a subject to deal with. It is all untrue to nature, uncleanly and immoral; yet with all these defects, which occur to you over your cigar as you drive home, you have no time to observe them during the performance, for it is relieved with dramatic scenes of remarkable power. Of these there aro many, but none so thrilling with interest as the scene where the daughter refuses to receive her mother's lover after her marriage. The whole of this. scene is worked up with intense dra matic art; it is a chef d'muvre, and is admirably played by Mlle. Periga and the ethereal little An tonine, who has thrown aside Nora Streeny's Con nemara cloak, abandoned Jean la Poste to make a transpontine pilgrimage to the Odeon. This gentle, almost transparent, being rises like a lioness in her lair, and preaches morality to her erring mamma in tones which would have touches the heart, had there been one within that flinty bosom. But could any mother, any wife, have so bestowed herself and her affections before her husband and daughter, could she have sullied the domestic hearth, had she been aught but a deprived femme de marbre, un worthy the sacred name of woman. Our disgust for the fianiste. must prevent us from doing justice to Laroche's excellent impersonation of the role. He is just the bilious, illmannered, illnatured, coarse animal, whoin we constantly see petted by ladies in their salons. • They always remind us of Titania patting her braying lover, and squandering her love upon a beast-. Tisserand looks more like a grocer than a banker. He is evidently however in the good graces of the claqueurs, but the public seemed to think that he dealt out his dirty sentiments just as a charcutier turns over his greasy wares upon the counter. Yet for all this you should not omit going to see the Maitre de la Maison. VARIETES.—Tennyson has drawn a charming picture of an Amazonian colony. But the Princess rules only over maidens like .herself, whereas the ladies in the " Royauine des Femmes" rule over the lords of the creation. They change the whole order of things. Ladies are permitted to pop the question to hesitating admirers during leap-year, but in the " Royaume" at the Varietes we are always supposed to be timid, bashful, and coy. You know the sketch iu the printshops " Si jeunesse savait," that is what we are expected to be. The ladies make love to us, and when we yield to their solicitations, for flesh is weak, we fall into the male demi-monde, and are henceforth excluded from respectable society. They pop us into their harems, and carry us about in triumph to races and theatres. All this is very droll and laughable, and is rendered more so by the return of that excellent comedienne Alphonsine, and Alice Duval, and - Mlle. Silly's prodigal display of a form' which may almost compare in symmetry with that of her sister, Madame Delval, whose fair proportions male inconstant Paris constant to the " Biche aux Bois." There are some good tableaux in the " Royaume." A supper in the cabinet particulier, with the champagne chorus of the convires; the race-course in the Bois de Boulogne ; a hunting party, where all the ladies seemed to have the cynegetic qualities of. Diana, but seemed to be wanting In that vice which caused so much unhappiness and eventual inconvenience to Actaeon. "Le Royaume" will keep the town laugh ing until the return of Mlle. Schneider, but we shall then lay an. embargo upon her again. 'THE SCOTCH IRON and COAL TRADES.—The Glasgow Herald says :—"ln our iron trade there is con tinued evidence of improvement, and a tendency towards the establishment of that confidence which existed prior to the great iron 'rig.' The ironmasters, however, ap pear to be very wary, and the transactions on their account with 'purchasers are at prices ranging from 2s. to 35., and even more, above the usual quotations. The Stocks of pig iron in the market are still however heavy eonsidering the great reduction in manufacture for so many weeks past, which shows that the demand is not strong. The effect is to cause producers to maintain that caution they have exercised so long in keeping their furnaces out of blast. It is estimated, so far as we can learn, that the present production, with the stocks on hand, is quite adequate to meet the consumption for a long period, unless some unforeseen demand arises. The Middlesborough iron takes precedence of our Scotch pig in various markets on account of its price, but chiefly as a mixture. This in some measure must affect the de mand for our home produce,, and keep down the con sumption. In malleable iron there is a wide difference. Our iron is invariably admitted to be stronger and more durable, and therefore it commands a hisher "price ; but even in this trade the demands at presefft are not large. The works in our own neighbourhood and in the other iron districts are being kept on from week to week, although, as we are led to believe, the orders on the books are only executed as they are forwarded. The prospects, however, of an excellent demand for the winter, with improved prices, is looked forward teas certain. The high price of coal sho ws that the colliers are maintaining their ground at the sale collieri es at s s. t Per day. This rate is a pp licable only to these collieries, and they are, we unders tand, working very steadily, with the usual restrictio ns as to idle days. On the other hand, the majority of workmen at ironwork collieries have, as a rule, is. per day less, unless they are disposed to exert themselve s and produce coal in proportion. This is ono * of the grievances they complain of. The miners at the' shale works are increasing rapidly ; the in ducement of even better wages than at the sale collieries is the cause of this, and the additional works at present in course of erection in the shale districts will absorb many hundreds of more workmen' in the course of a few months."

Little variation occurred until fairly in the straight, when Grand Cross was passed by Knight Errant, Star of India, and Lochaber, the three joining Moleskin and Knight of the Garter after passing the distance. A hundred yards from home the three placed drew away, Moleskin having the best of a terrific struggle to the last stride, when Star of India just got up and won by a head. Knight of the Garter was beaten a similar distance only for second place Half-a-dozen lengths off Lochaber was fourth, the Prelate being close up with him.

TI)E SON, LONDON, FRI OA it EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1866. The St• Giles':: Murder. At Bow-street Police-court this day, John Richard Jeffreys was brought up on remand on the charge of murdering his son Arthur Richard Jeffreys. Less excitement prevailed than on the former occasion, a misapprehension having arisen as to the day on which the prisoner was to be brought up. He had originally been remanded for a week, but before the commitment was signed circumstances were mentioned which induced the learned magistrate to alter the date to this day. The following evidence was then given. Henry Foster said—l an inmate of Lambeth Workhouse. On the 29th of July I was living at 15, Great White Lion street. The prisoner at the bar came there that d; y. It was on a Sunday, and he came between 10 and 11 o'clock in tho evening. 1 was out for some beer and found him there on my return. I will not be quite certain that it was as late as 11, as I had no clock in the room, but I am sure it was after 9. Mr. Vaughan—Did he come alone, or had he a child with him ? Witness—He had his son with him. The child has been living with his grandmother. _ Mr. Vaughan—Did you have any conversation ? Witness—Yes, and part of the time it was talking about religion. He told the child to say its prayers, and after the boy had done so he asked why he had said prayers, and the child replied, because be wanted to go to bed. Prisoner then said, "Is that all you say them for ? " and the child said yes. I then spoke to the prisoner and told him not to bother the child, but let him get a sleep. Mr. Vaughan—Was that all the conversation you had with the prisoner ? Witnes —Yes. • Mr. Vaughan—What did the prisoner come to your place for? _ . Witness—A night's lodging, I believe. He did not say so to me, but he did to my wife. I know he and tho child went to bed, and that he left our place between one and two o'clock. Mr. Vaughan—Did you say anything to him about leaving at that hour? • these questions have anything to do with the present, charge. Prisonerly life hangs upon the result of this inquiry and I think 1 ought to ask all the questions I think neces sary. Mr. Vaughan—Very well, then, go on. I will not stop you again. Prisoner—l don't think I -need ask the witness ttny further questions• on the present occasion, but I shall hereafter. Prisoner—l should like to ask Dr. Harvey a question. Mr. Vaughan—by all means do so. Prisoner—Addressing Dr. Harvey, in your post mortem examination, did you find that the child'had been used for an immoral purpose ? Dr. Harvey - No. Prisoner -= Could you have discovered it if it had ? Dr. Harvey—y es , I think I could. John Follis, a constable in the West Riding of York shire police, said—l live at Triange, in the township of Sorbey, in the parish of Halifax. On the Bth of Septem ber the prisoner called at home. I heard him ask whether the policeman was at home. I heard my wife gay yes, he was upstairs in bed, and then the prisoner told her he had something important to say. When he saw me to asked whether he could make a statement to me. I told him he could say whatever he pleased. He then asked me whether I thought he could murder his own child. He then said he would go and get something, and then tell me all about it. I watched him to the Triangle Inn, when he came out with a Bible in his hand. I asked him what they called him, and he said John Richard Jeffery, or other wise Samuel Mortimer. Ile said I am charged with the murder of my own child in St. Gile'ss, London, and there's a £lOO reward offered for my apprehension. After this I determined to arrest him, and told him he must consider himself my prisoner. cautioned him when he began to speak, that whatever he told .me I should repeat it in evidence at the trial if necessary. He said he was a married man —that he had one child, a little boy about six years old, and that he was named Arthur Richard Jeffery. He further said that he last saw the boy on the 30th of July, when he left his sister's house in the Seven Dials about two o'clock in the mcrning. He told 'me ho had never had any comfort since ho had been married, now about seven years ago, as his. wife had left him for another man. Prisoner said ho was born in Richmond, Virginia, that he had broke the law, and the law must decide his fate. He further remarked that be should say nothing then, but when the judge put the black cap on he should tell a tale. As we were goini to Halifax the prisoner asked for some. beer, which was given him. Mr. Vaughan—Was the prisoner sober when he made this communication to you ? Wituess—He had been drinking, but ho was not drunk. After some further evidence the prisouer was committed for trial. FRENCH THEATRICALS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES-THURSDAY. It was to be expected that the Town Moor would to-day present a marked contrast to yesterday. Nevertheless, the attendance for an "off day" was-exceedingly good, and the weather being extremely fine an enjoyable day's sport was the result.

After several breaks away, occasioned by Norwood, who obstinately refused to join his horses, a start was effected, Lively being the first to show in advance, closely attended by Dolan and Sweet Anne, Holstein heading the others, who ran in a cluster, with the exception of Norwood; who was several lengths in the rear, but as they approached the rifle butts ho ran through his horses and joined the leading division, but again gave way as they rounded the bend into the straight, where Sundeelah and King Charming, who with East Lynn had been lying in the rear, came through and joined Sweet Anne, who, however, took up the run ning, and won very easily by three parts of a length from King Charming, who defeated Sundeelah:by a neck. Lively was a good fourth, Dolan fifth, Lady of Coverdale and East Lynn next, the last to pass the post being Pedant.
