SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. 10.--- BLACKHEATH AND WOOLWICH MEETING. TUESDAY. After one postponement this metropolitan gathering was commenced yesterday. A miserably wet morning, how ever, was anything but tempting to intending visitors, and at noon the rain poured down in torrents. The ground was found to be in a fearful state of mud and slush, but notwithstanding these drawbacks there was an immense concourse of spectators, composed principally of the worst class of " London society." Tho stand (a very insecure one) was thronged. Bookmakers were very numerous, and the several events produced some lively speculation. Many of the competitors for the different races, however, sadly disappointed their backers by not even being able to compass the' distance, such was the "holding" nature of the ground. A full description of the day's running is appended. The Tradesmen's Plato of 20 sovs., added to a Sweep stakes of 1 sov. each ; 10st 71b each. Five furlongs. Mr. Jex's Duke of Cambridge, by Prime Minister— Shunting , (J. Steggles) 1 Mr. Jones's Penelope (Capt. Markham) 2 Mr. Markham's Madcap (Rose) 3 - - - - Betting opened at even on Penelope, but finished at 6 to 4 on the Duke of Cambridge, who got off in front, and making all the running, won, hard held, by three lengths ; Madcap, beaten off, was a bad third. Sinite, who stalled and passed the judge's box third, not having been weighed for by Mr. Marshall, was disqualified. The Blackheath Plate of 40 sovs., for three-yr-olds and upwards ; entrance, 2 sovs. each. About three-quarters of a mile. Mr. Somers's Chicot the Jester, 4 yrs, 7st Glb ...(Smith) 1 Captain Vibart's Llangollen, 4 yrs, 7st 111 b ...(Jackson) 2 Mr. G. Fonwick's Queen Bee, 4 yrs, 7st (Roscoe) 3 The following also ran :—Rapture, Confusion, Land of the West, Rosina, Triumpher, Sister Mary, and Hurrah. Betting-6 to 4 agst Rosina, 3to 1 agst Land of the West, 6 to 1 agst Chicot the Jester. After one false start they were got off, and upon settling into their places Land of the West showed slightlyin front, attended by Chicot the Jester, with Rapture, Confusion, Queen Bee, and Rosina in immediate attendance. After rounding the turn on breasting the hill, Chicot the Jester deprived Land of the West of the lead, and was in turn passed by Rosina, but the latter soon died away and gave place to Queen Bee and Llangollen, who raced together, but never got up, and Chicot the Jester won easily by three lengths; Llangollen, who was second, defeated Queen Bee by a head; Land of the West was fourth, Rosina fifth, Con fusion sixth, and Sister Mary seventh, the last three being Triumpher, Hurrah, and Rapture. The Open Hunters' Steeplechase of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for horses which have been regularly hunted; 12st each ; winners extra ; selling allowances. About three miles. Mr. Elphick's Laurie Martin, 12st (Knott) 1 Mr. Grey's Duchess (£5O), list 71b (Brazier) 2 White Stockings, Meerschaum, and Irish also ran. Betting-6 to 4 agst White Stockings, 2to 1 agst Laurie Martin, 5 to 1 agst Meerschaum. White Stockings made play for the first half mile, Duchess going on second, followed by Meerschaum and Laurie Martin. After passing the Stand the first time they all refused, and Laurie Martin was the first got over, fol lowed by Duchess. White Stockings soon afterwards re fused, and was not persevered with, and Meerschaum be came tailed off a long distance. Laurie Martin was never afterwards approached, and won by 12 lengths. Meer schaum walked in with the crowd. Irish Lass showed tem per at the starting post, bolted into the crowd, and took no part in the contest. The winner was not sold. A Selling Handicap Steeplechase of 3 sovs each, with 20 added ; the winner to be sold for 40 sovs. About two miles and a half. Mr. B. Land's The Don, aged, list 71b (Owner) 1 Mr. Fitz's Irish Boy, lOst 71b (Mr. Fitzgerald) 2 The Idea and Donkey also ran. Betting-5 to 4on The Don, 3to 1 agst The Donkey, 5 to 1 agst Irish Boy. Irish Boy held a slight lead passing the Stand, the Don following, closely attended by The Donkey and the Idea at a slight interval. The latter blundered at the first fence and unshipped Mr. Shaw, who remounted. After clearing the next fence (at which The Idea again refused and was walked back to the enclosure) Irish Boy increased his lead, but The Donkey again overhauling him, the two led alter nately.

He overhauled the pair coming up the hill into the straight, and defeated Irish Boy by three lengths. The Donkey, who was beaten a long way, walked in with the crowd. The winner was not claimed.

(From the Tablet.) In seconding the motion of Mr. Swift, late M.P., on the conduct of the Chairman of the Sessions, Sir John Scott Lillie expressed his regret that it had been made the arena for the introduction of religi ous and political discussions at various meetings on the Prison Ministers' Bill, when the only question that ought, properly speaking, to have been con sidered was prison discipline, and endeavours for the reformation of prisoners by moral religious instruc tion, as contemplated by the act passed for that purpose. Instead of this, some over-zealous religious sectarians thought proper to vituperate and abuse the Catholic clergy as improper characters for such duties. He considered it, there fore, his duty to attend on this occasion in order to disclaim any participation in such indikriminate abuse, which was inconsistent with the duty of. those to whose care prisoners had been confided, but more especially the magistracy of that county, which contained a greater number of Catholic prisoners than any other county in the kingdom, whose re formation from the paths of vice could not be ex pected without moral and religious precepts. As the senior magistrate, he believed, on that bench, he felt it his duty to protest against deviations of public duty. Such confusion and dis order existed amongst his brother magistrates as he had never before witnessed for upwards of forty years that he had been in the habit of at tending that court, and he regretted above all see ing the chairman showing such an example of par tisanship as that adverted to in the motion before the court, of having printed and circulated anony mous pamphlets to influence the decisions of the bench in support of his views ; but he hoped an amended bill would be brought before Parliament in the ensuing Session to make it imperative on those entrusted with the care of prisoners to have them attended by clergymen of the religious per suasions of such prisoners. Sir J. Scott Lillie then proceeded to read extracts from the Saturday Re view and other publications reprobating in the strongest terms some of the language used at a for mer meeting of magistrates. The following are the opinions which were expressed by the Saturday Review on the discussions which took place at the last October Sessions on the Prison Ministers' Act : " The Legislature has recently passed an act to provide for the spiritual instruction of Roman Ca tholic prisoners. The intention of that Act was quite plain. Its object was to do the prisoners good in the only way in which religious good can be presented to them, by giving them the full benefit of their own religion. Whether that religion is a good one or a bad one the Legislature did not say. Parliament merely recognised the fact that there are Roman Catholic prisoners ; and also accepting the fact that there is such a thing as the' Roman Catholic religion, it put the two facts together, and concluded that the Roman Catholic religion should be presented whole and entire to the Roman Catholic prisoners. Un fortunately the act is permissive. It gives to the county magistrates powers, vague and undefined, of deciding on many points material to the fair and honest working of the law. It leaves it to the good sense or good feeling of the magistrates whether they shall appoint a paid chaplain ; and as it seems, it also leaves it to the same good sense and good feeling whether the chaplain so appointed shall or shall not be allowed to have religious teaching and religious consolation and the means of spiritual im provement in the only way in which, according to the religion which chaplain and prisoners profess, they can be offered. The consequence is, that in every county of England this act has called out all the latent bigotry and intolerance of the English character, especially of those very conscientious people who feel it to be their bounden duty to thwart and insult the Roman Catholics and their religion and its professors, to place every obstacle in the way of the Act of Parliament being carried out, and to re duce it to a dead letter. But it has been left to the ingenious malice of Mr. Sergeant Payne to employ the Prison Ministers' Act most cleverly in the sacred interests of bigotry and intolerance, and the dear delight of insulting your neighbour. The act pro vides that no prisoner shall be visited against his will, and gives to the visiting magistrates power to impose such restrictions as may guard against the introduction of improper persons, and prevent improper communications." Have these provisions, inquires Mr. Sergeant Payne, been car ried out ? Improper persons ; there are a great many improper persons. How are we to know that every Roman Catholic priest is not an improper person ? There is the priest who seduced 30 young women in the Confessional. There is the priest who wrote that filthy letter to a boy, &c.,—who, by the way, was not a priest or a Roman Catholic at all. 4 There is abundant reason why the visiting justices should look to the moral character of those who come to the prison to give religious instruction.' And then Mr. Sergeant Payne smacks his lips, and of course did not mean to say a single word about the particular priest who at present visits at the pri son. He confined himself, of course, to the general and notorious character of Roman Catholic clergy men as a class ; and, having delivered himself of the sweeping doctrine that all priests are suspicious per sons, there was no occasion to slander any one priest in particular. And then, as to the duty im posed on the magistrates of preventing improper communications, was that provision carried out ? Did the magistrates take care that the priest should not teach the duty of exterminating Protes tants ? Did the magistrates take care that all Roman Catholic teaching should be given in public? He moved that the visiting magistrates should be instructed to attend to these points ; and the whole Bench unanimously accepted the resolution. That is, the Middlesex magistrates (only they had not the courage to say so) are agreed that the Roman Catholic religion is idolatrous, and that it is their duty to discourage it ; and they are resolved, as far as in them lies, not only to oppose the inten tions of the Legislature, but to make the Prison Ministers' Act either wholly inoperative, or a means of insulting and vilifying the Roman Catholics and their clergy. We hear a good deal about non natural interpretations and the wickedness of casuistry ; but all the doctors of ambiguity and teachers of amphibology might be defied to invent such a comment upon plain words as that which tells us, with Sergeant Payne, that restrictions against improper persons meant to give the magis trates the right to consider and treat every priest as an iinmoralman, and that restrictions against impro per communications meant that the visiting justices might prohibit the Mass, Auricular Confession, and every doctrine inconsistent with the Confession of Faith sanctioned by Messrs. Pownall and Payne." If a bench of magistrates follow in the paths of the gentlemen thus named by the Saturday Review, we cannot consider them to have great reason to be proud of their leaders, THE PRICE OF A TOE.—What would the reader think is the money value of a toe ? The conserva tors were the defendants in an action " to recover damages for an injury to the toe of Jane Miller, by the negligent shifting of the landing-board on a steamboat by a pierman in the defendant's employ, on their floating-pier at London bridge." The injury to Jane Miller's toe was settled by a jury as equivalent to fifteen pounds sterling ; Jane Miller's law expenses were thirty-seven pounds, and those of the conservators forty-nine ; so the Kings of the Thames had to pay about one hundred pounds altogether for a single toe.--Diekens's " All the Year Round." THE NEW FRENCH TURF CONFEDERACY.—The dissolution of the confederacy between Count La grange and Baron Niviere has been announced, and Count Lagrange has received into partnership Mr. Charles Lafitte, the well-known Paris banker, and a steward of the French Jockey Club. His assumed name on the turf is Major Frido lin, in which name Gentille-Dame is entered for the Criterion Stakes at Newmarket, and Fleur :de Bois and Stilton for the Althorp Park Stakes at. Northampton. M. Charles Lafitte was formerly an owner of racehorses in France, but withdrew from the Turf some years back. His return to it was in the spring of 1864, when he pur chased of Count Lagrange the French Derby horse Torti mils, by Royal-Quand-Meme, out of Defiance. Torticolis was not placed in the Derby, but started several times since i , . his only win being the Prix de la Socie te, at Amiens, afte a dead heat with Royal Navarre. He was purchased re- Cently for the Government breeding studs for £2BO. Major Fridolin's colours are light blue jacket and black cap.— Sporting LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Registrar Winslow.) Ec RE - TOIL' LOCH.-FAILURE OF A LATE POLICE-COURT MAGISTRATE. In this matter the bankrupt was described as a barrister and was lately one of the magistrates at the Worship-street Police-court, but resigned in consequence of his failure To-day was appointed for the order of discharge, and the accounts show—Debtor to unsecured creditors, £33,417 13s. 114. ; secured do., £423 10s. ; total, £33,841 3s. 11d. Cr.—By property with assignees, £936 12s. 4d. ; do. in hands of assignees, £223 10s. ; deficiency, £32,681 ls. 7d. The creditors are chiefly stockbrokers, to whom the bank rupt owes large sums of money upon transactions. Mr. Reed appeared for the assignees ; Mr. Sargood op posed; and Mr. Linklater supported. Mr. Linklater asked that the banlaupt might receive his order of discharge. Mr. Reed, on behalf of the assignees, said that the conduct of the bankrupt was open to censure, both from the creditors and the court. Considering the position of the bankrupt at the time he speculated so largely in the Stock Exchange, he had acted very unjustifiably, and he had been compelled to surrender his post as a Metropolitan Police magistrate. The assignee was not going to offer any opposition to the order of discharge, but would leave the matter in the hands of the court and those who did oppose. His Honour—ls there any ca se against the bank rup t beyond contracting debts ? kr. Griffiths said there was. Mr. Linklater said there were extenuating circumstances in the case. Mr. Griffiths called Mr. Thomas Beard, the well-known solicitor, who said he knew the bankrupt in 1863. Bank rupt solicited an interview, and asked witness if he could obtain an advance of £3OO for an emergency until his next quarter's salary was due. Witness introduced him to Mr. Cole, the opposing creditor, and bankrupt said he re quired £3OO till his next quarter's salary was due. Finally Mr. Cole gave him a cheque for £275. Mr. Leigh never said he was in debt or that his salary was encumbered, or that he had made any assignment for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. Cole said—He was an auctioneer and estate agent, and in consequence of what Mr. Beard said he went to the Worship-street Police-court, where he was taken into the bankrupt's private room. Bankrupt said he wanted £3OO, which he would repay out of his next quarter's salary. Had witness known that he owed £32,000 he would never have lent the money, but he thought, from his position as metro politan police-court magistrate, that he was safe for any amount. The bill became due, was dishonoured, and pro cess was taken, shortly after which the bankrupt presented his petition. It was upon the faith of his paying witness out of his first quarter's salary that the money was ad vanced. Cross-examined—What I have stated is perfectly correc Mr. Griffiths then called the bankrupt. Mr. Leigh said—He remembered the month of November, 1863, and a conversation he had at that time with Mr. Beard. He (witness) had executed a deed of arrangement with his creditors in 1862 to pay £BOO per annum out of his salary of £1,200. When Cole made the advance there was a very large Stock Exchange speculation, and witness thought Coles would have been paid out of that. The debts without the speculative account were not large. In November, 1863, I have not much doubt that my debts were £33,000. His Honour—The debts do not appear to be materially increased between the date of the deed in 1862 and the date of the entry. _ _ Mr. Sargood—Practically they are not, though they do by the figures. Mr. Leigh—l cannot say that I borrowed from any one after Cole. I was anxious to make myself safe in case of any fall in the Mexican Consols. I borrowed money of Mr. Cook, but cannot say if that was before Cole's loan. By Mr. Sargood—l first became a Metropolitan Police magistrate in November, 1860. I was removed from Staf ford here at my own application. My salary in the country was £l,OOO per annum. My salary has never been larger than £1,200. When I left the country, where I was a sti pendary magistrate, I owed money, but I cannot say how much. I owed as much as £25,000 when I came up to London, including the losses I sustained by the failure of a joint stock bank and other liabilities. I have a doubt as to this, though. This is quite a new question. I would say a very large sum when I came to London, over £25,000. Ido not think I had any Stock Exchange accounts open when I came to London. I had lost a considerable sum of money on the Stock Exchange before I came to London—l should say £5,000. Mr. Sargood then proceeded to question the bankrupt as to his various speculations. The case was going on when this report left, and is likely to last the whole day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, This Day. WESTMINSTER. AN IMPUDENT YOUNG THIEF.--JOhn Mocroft, an impu dent-looking little urchin, about 12 years of age, was charged with stealing a bird trap, value ls. William Purchase, 255, Kings-road, wire worker, said his shop was regularly besieged in his absence by a lot of boys, who carried off everything they could lay their hands on. About 8 o'clock last night he saw the bird trap safe outside his shop, and about a quarter-past eight it was gone His brother came in and gave him information, and the pri soner was taken outside the shop. He believed he had caught him before and given him a good hiding. John James Purchase, brother to last witness, said he was in his shop, four doors off, when his attention was called to the prisoner, who had the bird trap in his hand. Upon seeing witness he threw the trap over into Oakley square and ran away, pursued by witness. He had a cane in his hand, and finding witness closing up to him, he re peatedly struck him in the face with this cane, until wit ness secured him and took him back to the shop. The trap he afterwards found in the square. Prisoner had nothing to say, and Mr. Arnold remanded him for a week. The Selling Stakes, about half a mile, did not fill. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TUESDAY.

GAROTTING ROBBERY.—John Walters, a gasfitter, charged with being concerned with two others, not in custody, in violently assaulting and stealing from the person of Joseph Frederick Chillingsworth, a boy, 37 ounces of gold, of the value of £ll5, the property of Messrs. Herbert, jewellers, of No. 8, Newman-street, Oxford-street, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. Mr. H. Lewis (Lewis and Sons), Wilmington-square, prosecuted on behalf of the Precious Metals Association ; and Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the prisoner. The boy (Chillingsworth) was returning from the flat ing mills in Hop-garde; St. Martin's lane, with 37 ounces of gold in a black bag strapped across his shoulder, and when in Newman-yard-mews, near his master's house he was accosted by a man, and before he could answer him, the man put his hands round his neck and seized his throat tightly, at the same time holding his head back. Two two other men then came down the mews, and the straps of the bag were cut, the bag containing the gold taken away, and the boy thrown heavily to the ground. Information was then given to the police, and Inspector Bryant, of the G division, apprehended the prisoner in Moss-buildings, Whitechapel. Wm. Wild, a boy employed at Messrs. Jackson and Graham's, Oxford-street, who had seen the three men with the boy Chillingsworth down the mews, was cross-exa mined by Mr. Lewis, and said he saw the prisoner's face when the prisoner came to the top of the place, and looked round and passed him. He afterwards saw the prisoner in custody among seven other men. He did not know whe ther they were policemen—they were not in uniform. He told the police that the man he noticed wore a billy cock hat and bushy whiskers, and was rather stout. The rea son why he noticed the men was because he thought they were larking with the boy (Chillingsworth). He recog nised the prisoner by his general appearance, and not by his features. Joseph Frederick Chillingsworth, the boy who was as saulted and whose throat was a good deal injured, was called and cross-examined by Mr. L. Lewis, and said he would not swear positively fro the prisoner, but he believed he was one of the men. Mr. H. Lewis asked for another remand. Mr. Tyrwhitt granted it, stating that the prisoner would go before a jury. ROBBERY BY A BOOKSELLER'S PACKER.—David Parker, a packer in the employ of Messrs. Bickers, booksellers, of Leicester-square, charged with breaking open a till and stealing 10s., the moneys of his employers, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. The evidence taken on the last occasion having been read over, Mr. Bickers, jun., asked the magistrate to deal I e f n t i t e h n e t r l , y s with the prisoner. He had been 19 years n employ, and bore a good character till recently . ionduct since the prisoner was bitten by a dog, an d his c after wards became much changed, and he had gi ven way to his Some time ' hear habits of intemperance. 3fr.Tchrr ara wh e i t t e t r . saidiiad lost tit, regrettedbub teowfiansdretlhieavt e a d m by a nwith a good ingtha i t n t h h i e s re co wasndu some conduct. extraordinary ground for the change d pr h i e so t n h e o r i:g a h n t d son it ie w p o u n t smerevnet w as ou a l n d be )fir. n ß e i fi ck ci e a r l s, jun to n tl s , e a i example to others in their employ.

A RETURN TO THE OLD BURRING SYSTEM. —Samuel Coster, alias Ginger, Jane Tyler, and Mary Ann Smith were brought up on remand before Mr. Paget, charged with being concerned in assaulting an old man named Mark Reynolds, and robbing him of a bag containing £63 Bs. Gd. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, who conducted the prose cution, said the circumstances of this robbery were of a most audacious description, and the facts certainly justified him in - saying so. The old man Reynolds was in the em ploy of Rickett and Smith, extensive coal merchant& He was in the practice of carrying a bag of money every even ing from a store belonging to the prosecutors in Mile-end road to another store in the Commercial-road. On the 21st December last he was carrying a bag slung across his shoulders which contained £63 Bs. 6d., consisting of a £5 note, gold, silver, and copper monies. He was within 30 yards of his destination when a wet cloth covered with muck was thrown over his face. He was temporarily blinded, thrown down, and the bag of money taken from him. When he recovered he went across the road, and saw Coster, who was running away. The fellow escaped on the 23d of January. A police officer named Robert Smith, No. 253 K, found two of the prisoners Coster and Smith at No. 8, Ingle-street, Shacklewell. They had been living there about a month. The room they were in was filled with new furniture which Coster had purchased n. few s d te ay le s n a h f e te iaa after the r g o r b e b a e tve e y. foreThtheegibralgsntiof Smith hmowneays ap prehendedwas in the Bedf or d A r ms public-house in Bedford street, Stepney, on the s ame ni g ht, and on being told she was charged with being concerned with three others in robbery. Before stealing a bag of money from an old man, she said, " Yes, I had £3 10s. of the money, Bill Henley had £3 108., and Sam Coster and Jane Tyler had the remainder of the money." Several witnesses proved that the prisoners were near the spot where the robbery was committed. In cross-examination by Mr. Gomm, Reynolds would not swear that Coster was the man he had seen running away. The witness committed many discrepancies. Mr. Paget was of opinion the case against Coster and Tyler was very weak, but stronger against Smith. He re manded the prisoners for another week. TFILRD EDITION.

Confusion • 1 Duke of Cambridge 3 Hurrah The New Theatre, Greenwich. The pantomime produced by Mr. Sefton Parry, the energetic manager of this new and elegant theatre, having proved a source of great pleasure to the numerous audiences that have assembled every evening since its production at Christmas, he now wisely determines to follow up its success by pre senting to his friends a series of sterling plays, supported by the best talent procurable. On Mon day evening he produced a new drama, entitled, " How to Act, or a Lesson by David Garrick." The play is a representation, or perhaps, we should say, a translation with improvements upon a foreign drama, for which the stage and the public are in debted to Mr. Herman Vezin, who also now plays the leading character of David Garrick. Miss B. Foote, who is a pretty actress, represents Mary Moleseye, who having seen Garrick on the stage, falls desperately in love with him to the annoyance of her father, a matter-of-fact feather-dealer (Mr. W. Foote) and to the consternation of Arthur Quillet (Mr. T. Pugh), a young lawyer, also in love with Mary. The father, believing his daughter in love rather with the stage trappings than the man, invites Garrick to his house, that Mary may see him off the stage, thinking her affection on the wane. Garrick comes, and here it is that Mr. Vezin shows himself to be an actor of no mean order. He tells a story of a child in danger, apparently to teach the father what acting can do, but which in reality works his audience into a state of melancholy excitement, indeed, which moves not a few of them to tears ; then, when he gives way, and becomes the ardent lover of Mary, he is as much at home ; again feeling he is in error, he seeks to disgust her by feigning intoxi cation, and attributing to the wine the brilliancy of his genius. In this variety of character, again Mr. Vezin shows himself the perfect master of his art, and it was not astonishing that applause should greet him at every possible interval. But Mr. Vezin is not a new man on the boards ; he has already made a reputation for himself, and the people of Greenwich and Mr. Sefton Parry, whose energetic management of this beautiful little house does him the greatest credit, may congratulate themselves on possessing for a time so talented an artist. As an elocutionist he is all that can be desired ; as an ac tor, it is difficult to find a fault in him. Although the theatre is a short ride from the metropolis, such facilities now present themselves, both for leaving and returning at an early hour, that we recommend the admirers of sterling acting to visit the new theatre, as we can promise them a very pleasurable evening's entertainment.
