Yesterday afternoon a great sensation was created in the neighbourhood of Stamford-street, Black friars, in consequence of loud screams for assistance being heard. In a very short space above 230 per sons were collected round the spot whence these sounds arose. It then appeared that two brothers coming down Stamford-street had quarrelled, and the eldest one, a lad about 16 years of age, had struck the younger, about ten, so violently that he had rolled into the road, and while lying there the wheel of a hansom cab, coming along at great speed, had passed over his neck. Seve ral women, as well as the female domestics of the surrounding houses, witnessed the occurrence, and their screams brought the crowd abovemen tioned to the spot. Mr. Redding, a baker, in Broad wall, picked up the unfortunate child, and conveyed it to the surgery of Dr. Menzies. It was subse quently taken in a cab by the policeman on duty to Guy's Hospital. The unfortunate brother appeared petrified with horror, and was unable to answer any liuestions addressed to him ; consequently, their name is unknown. A PRINTER'S 7 OAST. The following ingenious sentiment was given by Mr. He nry L. Willi ams at the t hi r d ann ual dinner of the Typoth e t as, February 20, 18G6, at the liaison Doree. Dorde.

Counsel and Cheer.—Many impurities enter the human body during the summer from the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter which often taints the air, and renders the water noxious. The grand quality displayed by these excellent pills of searching out, expelling all pernicious particles from the system, constitute them the best medicine for averting indigestion, bilious attacks, diarrhce3. and English cholera. Of all the various affections of the alimentary canal constantly recurring in a variable climate, Holloway's pills are the best, cheapest, and safest remedy, since they can never act wrongly or b 3 taken without benefit, if their accompanying directions receive only moderate attention and thediet be restricted to plain, wholesome, and dig es ibis fwd. rHE SUN, LON uON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3 1867.

GUILDIIALL. CRUELTY TO A HORSE. —An omnibus proprietor, named Jusson, appeared before Mr. Alderman Lusk on a sum mons charging him with cruelty to a horse, his property. Mr. 11. R. Forster, a wine merchant in business in the City, and who had formerly been secretary to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that on the 21st of last month, about six o'clock in the afternoon, he saw a man driving an omnibus in Nowgate-street, both the horses were in a weak condition, and one of them fell down from sheer exhaustion. Ho got up, but shortly afterwards fell down again, and it was evident that the poor animal was qui`e unfit for work. lie understood that the driver, Iyho was not present, was not regularly in the employment of the defendant, and that the latter told him it was his intention to di , pos3 of his old stock. Under these circumstances he did not wish to press the ch4rge. The defendant said that until 1w received the summons he was not aware of the condition of the horse. Alderman Lusk said the defendant's intentio❑ of selling his present stock of horses was not of the slightest importance as regarded the present charge, and the horses would in all probability be bought by some persons wim would still work them. Nothing could be more revolting to the feelings of any rightly-constituted mind than the cruel y with which so valuable an animal as a horse was treated. This barbarous conduct was most reprehensible, and as far as was in Lis power he was determined to put an end to it. The defendant was responsible for allowing horses to bo worked when not in a proper state, but as he was not previously brought before the court he would not inflict the full penalty, and would fine him only 505. ASSAULTING TIIE POLICE.—John Buggy, who was em ployed at the gas works, at Bankside, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting the police. The first constable examined said that he was on duty last night about half-past 12, on St. Andrew's-hill, and saw the prisoner in the street, shouting and otherwise mis conducting himself. lie refused to go away, and then attacked the witness, striking him violently in the face and kicked him. In the struggle that followed they both fell down, when a brother officer came, and with the greatest difficulty they succeeded in taking the prisoner to the station. Police-constable William John Morgan said that he found the previous witness and the prisoner on the ground struggling, and he interposed. The prisoner then attacked him, and kicked him in a dangerous part. For some time ho suffered much pain, but he did not believe that h• had sustained any permanent injury. Alderman Lusk commented on the dastardly conduct in regard to the last witness, which was the worst part of the charge against the prisoner, and ho sentenced him to seven days' hard labour.

A CASE FOR A REFORMATORY.—Mary Ann Hughes, 14, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing the sum of £1 2s. 6d., the moneys of her master, Mr. Maurice Jonas, army accoutrement maker, No. 54, Rupert-street. Mrs. Josephine Janes, wife of the prosecutor, said that she had given the prisoner, who was in her service, notice to leave. She was to have left to-morrow, but she left on Monday morning clandestinely, and after she was gone £1 2s. 6d. was missed from a box containing about £lO, sot apart to pay the workpeople. She communicated with the police, and on the prisoner being taken into custody she admitted stealing the money, and said she had spent it. She had charged the prisoner not so much for tho sake of punishment as with the view of getting her into a reformatory. The parents of the girl, respectable-looking persons, having also expressed a wish that she should be sent to a reformatory, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for that purplse. A DRUNKEN' DEFENDANT IN COURT.—Sarah Kelly, a dissipated character, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly, and also with using abusive language toss ards Ross Newton, a young woman, residing in Lancashire-court, Bond -street. Tho defendant appeared at the court yesterday afternoon to answer a summons for the abusive language, but she was in such an intoxicated state, and charged the complainant Newton in such a disgraceful manner, that Mr. Flowers, the sitting magistrate, ordered her to be detained. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remarking on the defendant's dis graceful conduct, ordered her to pay a fine of 20s. or 14 days. THAMES. A FOOLISH WAGER. —Thomas Nott, aged 21, a labourer, of No. 2, Copenhagen-terrace, Limehurst, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with attempting to commit suicide. Henry White, No. 3G7 K, stated that last night he was called to the bank of the Regent's Canal, near the Salmon lane Bridge, and found the prisoner there wish his clothes wet and dripping. Ile was informed that the prisoner had jumped off the bridge into the canal. A man saved him and pulled him out of the water. Mr. Benson - How deep is the water there ? Witness—About 9 feet ; and from the crown of the bridge to the water 14 foot The prisoner was intoxicated, and struggled violently. James Illingworth, of No. 151, Sidney-street, Stepney, said he would tell his Worship how this occurred. He and his friend, the prisoner, worn seated on the parapet of the bridge. He told Nott to be careful, and not lean back or he would fall into the water. "I'll bet you a quarters of rum that I jump in," said the prisoner. lie accepted the wager, and the prisoner jumped into the water from the bridge, and struck out to the bank. Mr..l3tmson Then he did not intend to commit suicide at all. War sir, ho jumped into the water for a Mr. Benson — Did you hive him the rum ? Wit ne ss—Yes, sir, I paid hi m th e b e t. A quartern of eturness:)—f rum. Not he, Mr. Benson said that the prisoner's conduct was very qthuebtiest Jamaica pineapple r uin . foolish indeed, and if he had been drowned suspicion might have attached to his memory that he had committed suicide, or that his friend had thrown him into the water. There was no doubt the prisoner was inebriated, and was tempted by a quartern of rum to jump into the water. White the policeman said that the prisoner struggled to get away from him and wanted to jump into the water a second time. Mr. Benson—lie Wanted another quartern of rum. Ile is discharged.

TEL—Business has remained very inactive, operations on the part of the trade having been postponed until to day, when a largo quantity of China produce will be offered at public sale. The Ajax, screw steamer, which started on the 18th June, has arrived with the first cargo of new sea son's teas. SI:CUR.—The dealings have been.on a very limited scale, and no material change can be reported in prices. Refined goods have been in fair request, and previous quotations have been well supported. COFFEE.—OnIy a moderate amount of business has been negociated, but a rather large quantity will be offered at public sale during the week; prioes, however, remain steady. The stocks on hand, compared with those of the corresponding .period of last year, exhibit an increase of about 1,700 tons. RlCE.—There has been some inquiry for goods on the spot and also to arrive, but the terms offered are too long to cause much business to be entered into. Fnurr.—Scarcely any business has been done, but prices of new goods remain steady. TALLOIY.—There has been a further decline in the price of tallow during the past week of fully £1 per ton, caused by the lower quotations from St. Petersburg. A speculator there who held 10,000 casks of tallow having suddenly disposed of them for export, this depressed that market considerably, and the last quotation was 451 d, silks, with but little disposition to pm chase on the part of exporters. Tho exchange had advanced to 32-id. To-day the market is inactive, very little business doin r. 41s is demanded for the last throe months; 44s 3d December; 416 Gd paid for now Y.C. on the spot ; 44s old ; 45s Odessa sheep ; 41s 6d beef ; 45s to 45s Gd South American ; 43s 3d Town Tallow, nett cash. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7-77tis Day The Mar k e t opens steadily with a fair demand Sales probably 8,000 or 10,000 bales. A PAPER MILL BURNT.—About half-past 12 o'clock yesterday a fire broke out in the third story of a paper manufactory, situate at Old Mill, about a mile from Barnsley, when the whole of the working premises were destroyed. An alarm was given immediately on the flamese seen, o and the Barnsl e y eng i ne was soon set i n motion,power being very li m it e d i t h ad little or no biuntg its p effect in putting out the fire, which continued burning during the whole of yesterday afternoon. The premises from the ground were four stories in height, but all of them have fallen in, and continue a mass of smouldering ruins. Fortunately the warehouse, in which there were about 20 tons of paper, was saved. The cause of the fire is said to be the over-heating of the rags, of which there was a more than usually large stock on the premises. Mr. Toothill, the occupier, is insured, so far as the stock and machinery are concerned, in the London and Liverpool office, to the extent of £2,200, which, he states, is con siderably less than will cover his stock ; and the building belonging to M. Jiussell is also insured, M DD E AM. On Saturday morning Fobert's did steady mile and half work with the exception of Centaur % Per vacques, Bracken, Lord Hastings, Armlet, Liberal, and Castanet, who were sent the long gallop. D. -.lv son's did similar work to that of the previous mt ‘rn ing, except that Corporal, The Priest, and King of the Fairies took an extra gallop of two miles. Os borne's repeated their ex.2rcise of Friday morni. -, z, likewise Winter's and G. Lye's. Fr FIELD. On Saturday the weather was beautifully one. Alec Taylor gave the same horses as were out on the previous day two canters on the Clatford Downs, and then took them across to the B ►rton Downs and gave the following a rough gallop for about a mile, all finishing as named :—Bradamante, Mayon aise filly (4 yrs), and Dulcimer. Pepper's Ghost and Lord Paramount had a rough gallop for about twb miles. The first-named had the best of it. On Sunday morning the weather was very dull and misty. Alec Taylor had his team on the Barton Downs soon after six o'clock, and all of them doing the usual amount of work. NEW3fARKET. Hermit is now daily and anxiously watched by both friends and enemies. Of the latter he has even now a few, dare they venture openly to express their candid opinion, and the rattling gallop he went on Saturday appeared to add to their list. After cantering once or twice steadily on the Limekilns he started for a two-mile spin (Target bowling along in front) at his best pace for a mile and three quarters, when Bloss took up the running on a thorough-bred hack, and led him the last quarter at a merry pace. Many of the lookers-on declared that he tired at the finish ; and vrhat horse would not, constituted as Hermit is, after settling one member to have another, fresh and well, to tackle at the finish ? He went well in action and pulled up sound, and of course had quite enough of it for one day. From the French stable Rabican, L'Africain, Longchamps, and L'Epte galloped. LANIBOL'RNE. On Saturday morning Marksman was missing from the Russley team. From the same stable, doing good work, were Cordelia colt, Sister to Scottish Chief, half-sister to Student, and Malcolm filly, who had a couple of mile canters. After walking some little time, Malcolm filly led Primate a rattling good gallop for two miles. After going about half a mile Sister to Scottish Chief and Cor delia colt followed, but the latter only went about a mile. FINTION. Monday morning was fine and clear. The horses from both stables came out at daybreak, and went to the Black Patch. They comprised the same horses that were out on Saturday excepting Mistle toe, Gipsy Queen, Lady Lambton, Herennianus, Osprey, and Retty, who left by early train for Warwick. Helder and three others were also among the lot. They did a fair amount of work, and Potomac,Thalia, Proserpine, Sister to Vedette, Owain Glyudwr, and Rabbit Trap had a gallop of a mile and a half at half-speed. ErsoM. On Monday Sherwood's cantered and galloped up the tin, the lot going well. Nightingall, after can tering Owen Roe, Cecil, Pero, N utpecker, Weather Breaker, colt by Tbormlnby out of Rogerthorpe's dam, &c., sent them the length of the tan, going well. STOCKBRIDGE. On Monday the weather was delightfully fine, and the ground in good order. The large string of horses now in work are in the best of health. Lord Ronald, Vauban, Challenge, Lecturer, Contraband, Pantaloon, Mameluke, Prince Louis, Belfast, Loga rithm, Seville, Ischia, Housemaid, Papillon, Lady Seymour, Summer's Eve, Minnie Warren, Lady Raglan, Athena, Lady Elizabeth, and Viridis can tered three-quarters of a mile. After walking for half an hour, the canter was repeated nearly a mile. iALTON. On Sunday morning the Whitewall h)rses came out at their usual time, but before they had got to the wolds rain began to fall heavily, and they returned back again. I'Ansou's and Peck's exer cised in the home fields. HEDNESFORD. On Saturday six of Cliff's were the first out, viz., Rose Nera, Greenhorn, D unrobin, How-d'ye- Do, Lady Zetland, and a filly by Marionette. Palmer then brought out Fan, who went a nice steady sweat in the presence of her owner. She is wonderfully improved. Helen then led William a steady canter. Contract and Atalanta took things easy. Saunders brought out Arkansas, Charleston gelding, Lollypop, President Lincoln, and two others. I had not seen the " President" for some time. None of the lot did much work. ILSLEY. On Saturday Dover gave Achievement a canter of half a mile and a nice steady gallop of two miles. Gardevisure did just the same, whilst Lord Lyon had one canter and a nic3 gentle sweat of three miles, the old horse looking and going first-,. class. The two year olds cantered steadily, and the yearlings were striding along. On Sunday, as usual, most of the teams did but little work. Achievement, however, took a nice steady canter, and returned home safe and well.—Sportsman. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MARGATE RACES. MONDAY.

For a match at time diving there were five entries, including one John Gillham, a hatter by trade. Gillham was the fourth to dive, those who had preceded him having remained under warbr from 50 to 83 seconds. As he had declared himself capable of making 90 seconds, no apprehension was felt till he had been about that time out of sight. At last, however, the bystanders became alarmed, and three young men dived repeatedly in the hopes of catching their unfortunate comrade. They were quite unsuccessful, nor did Gillham again appear alive at the outface, ho gave way to Derry, Alger being a long way in the rear, to the tern into the straight, where the favourite, pulling double, ran up against the iron fencing which formed the hurdles at the turn, and ho came down, as did also Kaffir's iand, who tumbled over him, but however got up, Spencer remounting immediately, but ho came in several seconds behind Algar, who won in a canter. Dorry broke his near hind leg and was destroyed on the course by his owner's orders. There was no advance on the entered selling price for :ho winner.

This morning another shocking tragedy occurred in the neghbourhood of the Old Kent-road. A foreigner named Bordier bad for some time passed been living with a young woman named Snow, at Milstead-terrace, near Church-street, and early this morning the unfortunate woman rushed into the bedroom of one of the other persons living in the same house with blood streaming from her throat, exclaiming that Bordier had done it. She sank down from exhaustion. and expired. The man was at once taken into custody, and on his examination before the magistrate at Lambeth Police Court he appeared to be labouring under a fit of insanity. He did not deny the dreadful act, and further said he intended to have had another victim and then to have killed himself. lie was remanded in order that a full inquiry might take place before the coroner. The following arc some additional particulars : The house, which is one of six rooms, was rented by a Mrs. Caroline Snow, and let out by her in apartments. The front and back parlours were occupied by Louis Bordier and a young female named Emma Snow (the niece of the landlady), who had for some years cohabited with him, and by whom she had had three children. It does not seem that any ill-feel ing had existed, and the young man appears to have attended well to his work. After supper Bordier and the young woman and children retired to rest, shortly before ten o'clock. There was nothing in the conduct or manner of the man to lead to the slightest supposition that before many hours he would be the perpetrator of a dreadful crime. Everything passed on quietly until about five o'clock this morning, when the man got out of bed, and in doing so awoke the woman. She said, " It's too soon to get up yet—come to bed again." After a short time the man again went back to bed, and the woman dropped off to sleep. About six o'clock she was awoke by feeling a hand grasp her tightly by the head, and on looking up saw Bordier with a knife in his right hand. He pulled back her head and drew the knife across her throat, from NI hich the blood spurted out. After struggling with him she managed to get out of the room into the passage. She put her hand to her throat, which she tightly grasped, and went upstairs to the room occupied: . by Mrs. Snow. Mrs. Snow asked her what was the matter. She replied, " Oh, see what Bordier has done." Sho then got into bed with her aunt The latter then perceived that her niece's throat was cut, and made an alarm, when messengers were sent off to various medical gentlemen and to the police stations. Police-constable 138 P and Sergeant Turner, 35 P, pro ceeded upstairs, in company with Dr. Simpson, of 759, Old Kent-road. In the bed-room where the aunt had slept Emma Snow was lying with a frightful gash in her throat. Doctor Simpson, on making an ex amination, found life to be quite extinct. Bor dier afterwards came upstairs, and, in answer to Mrs. Snow, who said, •' Oh, what did you do this for ?" he replied "I have done it. I could not help it, for I could not part from her.", The police then made a search, and on going into the front parlour, where Bordier and the unfortunate woman had slept, they found on the floor, covered with blood, a large sharp knife, such as would be used by a currier in his trade. The bed clothes were stained with blood, marks of which were about the floor, along the passage, and upstai sto the aunt's room. Some letters written in French were found, but at present it is not known whether their contents at all relate to the dreadful deed. It seems further that although the man and his victim hid been on very good terms fur a long time, yet, owing to some quarrel between them, she had threatened to leave him, and went so far as to give him a week's notice. From this statement made by ono of the children, a girl about ten years of ag , , it seems that Bordier, after having cut the woman's throat passed into the back parlour. Ile stooped down on the bed whore the child was lying, and seizing her by the threat pushed her head back and looked herfull in the face. After remaining in thisposition a few moments, ho suddenly threw her back and said, " Lay down again." At that time ho held cno hand behind him, in which she noticed the handle of a knife. He did not touch her or say another word, but left theroom. No doubt from this prisoner intended to have destroyed the child, but at the moment of doing so relented. On being questioned by the police the man, who did not at first seem distressed in mind, or to feel the dreadful position in which he was placed, said, " Yes, I did it, and the knife is the ono you have got that I did it with." Ile then begged to be taken to see the woman before they took him away. This was done, and on the way upstairs prisoner said ho hoped she would not live. The prisoner, in the custody of the police, was then removed to Peckham station, and from there to Lambeth Police-court. During the morning there was a largo crowd gati.wred in front of the house.

AQUATIC 3. SCULLERS' RACE FOR £2OO. A scullers' lace for £2 OO wan row ed y esterday, by Frank Kilsby,of of Old su Barr bit ge-ohn. Kilsby haso ouse, watermaniar somendJo yehnPares dgrift, a landsman been before the public, and has lately very much improved as a sculler; he has also figured to much advantage as an oarsman at the Thames National Regatta. Pedgrift has also formed one of the champion four at our great National Regatta. They are both young men and rising at their profession, so that they have made many friends. The race was looked upon with great interest, and two steamers accompanied the race with large parties on board, the friends of both men supporting them at level money, a largo sum depending on the result. Mr. W. Wilberforce, jun., was chosen referee. Mr. Chas. Bush, the well-known bookmaker, was umpire for Kilsby, and George Hammerton stood for Pedgrift. Henry Kelley, the champion of Eng land, wag jockey for Kilsby, and Joe Sadler showed up Pedgrift, whose friends laid about 9t05 on him. Kilsby had the worst station, and came away with the lead, but the steamers were so far ahead that wo could not see who really led till they got to the London Boathouse, where Kilsby was well clear, the ether keeping too close in shore. Kilsby gradually got away, although the other repeatedly threatened him, but his chance was apparently good after wards, and ho led by a length at Hammersmith-bridge ; he increased it to three or four lengths at Barnes, and then Pedgrift spotting, a desperate race ensued right home, and the referee could not distinguish who had won, declaring it a dead heat. Ho then ordered the men to row again to day. Bets stand. SHIPPING INTELLIGENGt.:.—TIVs Day.
