Uarmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, l ° the Editor of the " Times :" " think it a duty I ewe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and *hid' has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some 'month s ago I met with a very severe accident, having disks- Wed and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender lof ese the joi n t I was qu it e una bl e t o wa lk, th e li m b con tinuedt very much swollen and edematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the a rms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and Thy Medical friends in the country could suggest, to no Purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con "dting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Listen—then to adopt sea battling. EV accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who Is Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had o Spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next „, - " r uing I came down stairs without my crutches, and was abl e to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am oov , rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex . t eltsive medical practice in the county of Stafford. I know of •ne medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficaey. in adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac taated m ake ether motive than gratitude te him, and a sincere 'esir to know n his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the lest man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant. " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Cannock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. P- S. At the various consultations held up3n my case, the st.`rpions and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opicton that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter- Minato.. in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of this exteurdinary embrocation.—T.

TOTNES APRIL s.—Our little quiet town exhibited no small degree of activity and bustle last. Saturday ; two events combined to produce this excitement. The sale of the large estates of E. Montague Parker, Esq., the late M.P. f or th e sout h ern di v i s i on of Devonshire, and the first appearance of the celebrated George Ro bins in our town, to officiate in his own proper per- The day was fearfully hot, and the heat of the room when the company had assembled could be very little short of an East Indian atmosphere. The crowd was very great, and curiosity not a little excited. On Mr. Robins 's appearance he indulged them with a long and pithy exordium on the increased and in creasing value of terra firma, and it is but fair to pro claim he made lots of converts to his reasoning ; in deed, it was most successfully done, and evidently by the hand of a master, as the result will show. One of the farms, upon which there is a lease of four teen years to run, and at a rack rent, sold for forty two years' purchase. Mr. Robins, who had been very happy in his previous commentary, took occa sion to notice the value of his opinion, by the most infallible proof, viz., the result. He had previously taken a luminous view of Sir Robert Peel's alteration in the Corn-law, which he proclaimed to be the result of a mind imbued with a perfect knowledge of the very intricate subject which he had taken up ; and he did not hesitate to say that the Bill, as it had passed the Houses of Parliament, was so near to perfection that no one possessed of an accurate knowledge on this subject, would take the chance of again disturb ing it. It might be considered now as a final measure. He then took credit with his auditory for a little share of perspicuity in his argument upon the Corn-laws, observing the result of these large sales had now placed his opinion beyond doubt; and he was proud to say he was the first, and in his own person, to illustrate his opinion by facts that now could not well be con troverted. Mr. Robins dwelt, very much upon the high price of the funds, the probability of a slight increase of one or two per cent., and contrasted it with the probability (in case of an angry message from any of the allied powers) of a fall of 20, or even 30 per cent.; observing the very cause that must produce the fall in the stocks would increase land in the exact same proportion. His concluding observa tions were to the effect, that next spring all the lead ing capitalists would enter the field, and be purchasers of land, if the opportunity should fortunately present itself to find estates to deal with.—Plymouth paper, Sept. 5. The Woodchester property, near Stroud, one of the fine estates of the Earl of Ducie, is cominc , into the market early in the sprin g . It i s , probably, the largest estate that has been sub . ect to public compe tion since the memorable sale of Lord Ormonde's property in 1815. His estates were sold by Mr. George Robins for 500,000/. ; and it is said he expects to obtain for Lord Ducie's more than 300,0001. ___ r - --- BLLIGENCE.-. , /i ' SPORTING Ir 4 PRESTON GUILD RACE. 50L One mile and The Stewards' Handi ca p Purse of three quarters.

They separated, Dawson declared, be tween nine and ten o'clock, he going home, and the prisoner either going another way or staying near the public-house in which they had been drinking together, and which was near th e pl ace w h ere th e bloody deed was committed. It being known that the prisoner had certain signs or movements by which he could communicate with those he was in timately connected with, his father was desired to as an interpreter ; but the answers given by him to the questions proposed, led the Jury to suppose i toy were not in accordance with those of the son, n it was on this account that an adjournment of the inquiry before the Coroner took place, that an indifferent person might lA. - found who was capable of interpreting satisfactorily.— At this time also the shirt of the prisoner in which the foul murder was committed was missing. It was subsequently found under the bed on which he lay, and strong stains of blood are on it, notwithstanding great efforts seemed to have been made to wash them out. There is little doubt, from the state in which the night-dress of the poor murdered woman was found (over her head), and her body being quite exposed, that a lustful purpose had been entertained by the murderer, in resisting which she lost her life, the cruel tiger by whom she had been assailed cutting and mangling her neck and shoulders with various deep and dreadful gashes, in a way the most extraordinary. One wound extends from the upper part of the breast bone upwards, to an inch behind and above the right ear, being nine inches in length, and completely di viding the integuments and muscles ; the scalp is cut to the bone, the right carotid artery is severed, as well as the internal and external jugular veins, and there are two gashes across the windpipe ; the hands are also cut to the bones ; and such a sight as the poor creature presents has scarcely ever before met the eyes of humanity."—Stamford Mercury. QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. DUPPLIN CASTLE. Dupplin Castle, the residence of the Earl of Kin noul, is situated on the north side of the vale of Strath-Earn, a very beautiful spot, about 30 miles in length, full o f rich meadows and corn fields, divided by the river Earn, which serpentines finely through its centre, falling into the Tay, of which there is a fine prospect at the east end of the vale, which, throughout, is pleasantly diversified with groves and the houses of gentry and nobility. The south front of the castle commands a fine view of the entire vale; behind it are plantations extending several miles in length, which all flourish luxuriantly, with the exception of those of ash. The large chesnut here grows in aborescent grandeur, with the spruce and silver firs, the darker cedar, and the arbor vita. The broad-leaved laburnum &so thrives greatly here, growing to a great size, and its wood is used in veneering. With regard to the fruitage of Dupplin, it succeeds but indifferently : grapes, figs, and late peaches will not ripen : the winter begins early and ends late, and even the secluded bosom of this vale is visited by high and stormy winds. The Lords of Kinnoul have made planting and agriculture one of their chief pursuits. In 1790 Lord Kinnoul. planted not fewer than eighty thousand trees, besides Scotch firs, providing future forests for the benefit of his successors and the embellishment of his country. Dupplin possesses some exceedingly fine pictures. Among the more remarkable is one of Luther, BuCer, and Catherine the nun, in the characters of musicians, by Georgiana di Castel Franco. Others very notice able are, a fine head of a secular priest, by Titian. St. Nicholas blessing three children. Two pictures of cattle by Rosa di Tivoli ;'fthead of Spenser ; a fine head of Butler, by Sir Peter Lely ; Mrs. Tofts, in the character of gt.• Catherine, by Sir Godfrey Kneller. Mrs. Tofts lived at the very introduction of the opera into this kingdom, and sang in company with Nicco lhil, but, being ignorant of Italian chanted her reci tative in English, in answ er t o his Italian, ana the charms of their voices amply overcame the absurdity. Among the remainder o the pictures are those of the second Earl of Kinnoul, by Vandyck ; Chancellor Haye, by Mytens ; a good portrait ot Lord TreaSurer Oxford, by Richardson, and a beautiful miniature of Sir John Earnley. But the most remarkable is a head of the celebrated Countess of Desmond, whom the apologists for the usurper Richard 111. bring in as an evidence against the received opinion of his deformity, with whom she danced at court. She lived to the age of one hundred and forty, and twice or thrice renewed her teeth ; for Lord Bacon assures us, in his " History of Life and Death," ter per vices dentiisse; and main in his " Natu ral History, mentions that she did dentire twice or thrice, casting her old teeth, and others coming in their place. Not far from Lord Kinnoul's residence lie the Carse, or rich plains of Gowrie, and the hill of Kinnoul, with its vast cliff, is remarkable for its beautiful pebbles. Also at a short distance are the vestiges of a Roman road. HER MAJESTY AT DUNKELD. Her Majesty was greeted with the heartiest accla mations on her approach to Dunkeld, where she ar rived precisely at a quarter past one o'clock. The carriage stopped in the Bowling Green. A Royal salute was then fired; and her Majesty having alighted, took the arm of Prince Albert, and slowly walked round the Green, manifesting, by her grati - fied looks, the admiration with which she beheld the gallant array of Lord Glenlyon's clansmen, who had assembled to the number of not less than a thousand, all clad in " the garb of oki Gaul." The spectacle was of the most animating description ; and the bells rang a merry peal in honour of the illustrious pair. Having changed horses the Royal carriage proceeded on its route, amidst continued acclamations. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday.) TAYMOUTH CASTLE. WEDNESDAY FoßErroorr.—ller Majesty's visit to this princely Castle promises to be the most attractive feature in the Royal tour, both on account of the ex ' tensive preparations made for the reception, and the splendid scenery around. It has been remarked that Taymouth Castle combines all the elements of the picturesque—the grandeur of mountain scenery,, the beauty of the woodland, and the freshness of the stream. The Castle, as all tourists know, is a very large ashen-coloured, quadrangular building, of four stories, with wings and a tower, a hundred and fifty feet in height. It is situated near the foot of Drummond Hill, which is covered with luxuriant foliage, the Tay winding beautifully behi n d th e C as tl e , an d be tween it and the base of the hill. In front there •is an extensive lawn, which, after presenting a fine level for a considerable space, is seen to ascend the opposite side of the valley, until it joins the forest which runs to the top of the eminence. Towards the west stretches Loch Tay, and on every side the eye loses itself amidst Alpine scenery. In short, the situation of Tayrnouth Castle, as well as the road from Dun keld to it, possesses charms to the lover of the pic turesque which even the Highlands of Scotland can scarcely surpass ; and therefore .her Majesty and Prince Albert, during their limited sojourn in Scot land, could not have selected a tour which affords a better earnest of the wild beauties of northern Ca ledonia. son. The welcome which will greet her Majesty's en - ;ranee iuto the Highlands, and thence to the halls of Taymouth Castle, will also be characteristic of the land. Along the road from Dunkeld various triumphal arches have been erected; at Milltown of Kincraigie, on e is inscribed . " Ye'r welcome to your Highland Glens." A mile to the east 'of Aberfeldy there is a splendid arch surmounted by a crown, the whole being constructed with heather; another arch of the same national material has been erected at the entrance of Aberfeldy, which beautiful village, as well as that of Kenmore, have been all whitewashed for the occasion. The first approach to Taymouth is also decorated with a heather arch, as well as the bridge at Kenmore and other places in the vicinity, where the Royal cor tege is expected to pass. On descending the eastern approach to Taymouth Castle the eye meets marquees in various directionS for the use of the Highlanders assembled. A short way to the eastward of the Castle is a battery on an eminence, but the battery which will fire the salute on the Royal approach is erected on the hill in front of the Castle, and at an elevation of about 600 feet. Another battery is placed to the westward, near the foot of Loch Tay. I? lags are placed on the adjoining hills, so that the approach of her. Majesty and her Royal Consort can be telegraphed. On her Majesty and Prince Albert alighting at the grand entrance of Taymouth Castle, the scene is ex pected to be very grand and imposing. The High- landers, to the number of several hundreds, and all equipped in the national dress, will be drawn up, forming part of a large circle round the entrance. The company of the 92d Highlanders, under the-com omfanhdoonofAufra,jomr.Cillamfilplbuepll,tahieldrsetamtiaoinneddehr er o e f as th th e e e g i u rc a l r e d . As soon as the Royal party approaches within the cordon, the Highlanders and the troops will give the salute in due form, and immediately after, the clans men will take off their bonnets and give three hearty highland cheers—while the band of the 66th, which has been dispatched for the occasion, will strike up the National Anthem, and upwards of twenty pipers will play the tune after their own fashion. We understand that Macdonald, piper to the Marquis of Breadalbane, and Mackay, piper to the Celtic Society, both officiated on the entrance of George the Fourth into Holyrood, on the lith of August., 1822. Th e Highl an d ers have all been drilled for the occasion ; and from their fine appearance yesterday, at . a general parade in front of the Castle, we have no doubt they will impart an imposing effect to the spectacle, and which cannot fail to be highly interesting to her Majesty and Prince Albert. These stalwart Highlanders are divided into various companies— the grenadier company being under the command of Captain Campbell Borland—the light company, who are arrayed in light shepherd tartan, are under Cap tain George Campbell. This last company are armed with rifles, and are expected to act as Deer Beaters at the grand hunt at the Black Mount. Company No. 1 of the Campbells is under W. Bowie Campbell, Esq., Company No. 2, under J. Campbell Renton, Esq., of L amberton, and company No. 3, under Capt.G.Camp bell. The Halberdiers will be commanded by Sir Alexander Campbell, Bart., of Barcaldine, William Campbell, Esq., of Glenfalloch, will net as Lieute nant-Colonel of the whole. The Hon. Fox Maule is the Adjutant-General, and Major Campbell, of Mel ford, the Adjutant. There are seven standard beareri, but the chief, or the Breadalbane standard, is John Campbell, Esq. yr., of Glenfalloell, who is a fine spe cimen of Celtic manliness and vigour. A large assemblage of Nobility are expected at the Castle during the Royal visit. Among ttose who have already arrived are the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke and Duchess . of Roxburh, the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, the Earl of Lauderdale, Lord and Lad Belhaven Sir Anthony Maitland, the Hon. Fox Mauls, the Hon. Mr. Rus sell,Scc., &e. Dupplin was the scene of the unfortunate battle which was fought on the 12th of August, 1332, be tween Edward Baliol and the gcottish 'a r my com- rnanded by the Earl of Marr, then Regent in the mi nority of David the Second. The vestiges of Baliol's camp remain to this day, a little on the west, while the Regent's army lay encamped on thehill, ver y c l ose to Dupplin House. 'A disagreement, comman to the feudal times, took place, and the one part of their leader's forces were separated under the Earl of Dun bar, at Auchterarder, a few, miles distant. This de- termined Mar to stand on the defensive until he Could be joined by the former ; but Baliol crossing the river at night, and beginning his, attack, he was induced by the reproach of timidity from the Earl of Carrick, to renew the fight with Baliol, supported by the English archers, the best troops then in Europe. A horrible carnage ensued. Three thousand Scots fell on the spot, among whom were the flower of the nobility, with no farther loss to the English than two knights and 33 esquires, without that of one common man. The day was particularly fatal to the family of the Hays. Historians relate that the name would have been extinct, had not several of the warriors left their wives pregnant. This last circumstance is by some supposed to - be an . invention, borrowed from the Ro man story of the Fabii. THE BANQUET IN THE COUNTY HALL The alterations within Taymouth Castle are on the most extensive wale, The drawing-room has been newly furnished, and liberally, with a gorgeous mag nificence. We understand that an individual well versed in those matters, and intimately acquainted with the principal seats an either side of .the Tweed, ga ve it as his d ec id e d opinion , that neither England nor Seotland could rival the drawing-roo m of Taymouth Castle, and h e a d ded, that he questioned if Europe itself could equal the workmanship which has been expended on this drawing-room. The State bed room, forming part of what is called the Chinese rooms, Is also on the same settle of splendour. The cost has been immense. The day was rather looking dull in the morn ing, but as it advanced it cleared up, se that her Majesty has every prospect of a pleasant drive from scone to Dunkeld, and thence along the wooded banits of the Tay to Taymouth Castle. It is supposed that here Majesty will reach th e Caatio about five o ' c l oc k. The aquatic excursion on Loch Tay has boon arranged for to-morrow. The Queen's barge is commanded by Captain Mac- Dotigall l ll.N., who will steer in person--the Loch Tay barge is commanded by Lieutenant J. Campbell, ]4,N.—and the Admiralty barge by Lieutenant Campbell, R.N. There will be six barges which will accompany her Majesty, who if the weather is fine, will in this manner visit the falls of Acharran. We also learn that her Majesty's route from Pay mouth to Drummond Castle will be by Kenmore, keeping on the north side of Loch Tay to Killin, and thence by Loch Earn head to Crieff. OF PERTH. Shortly after the Queenhad passed city, about five hundred 'of the most lemrsdas through respectablethe n fi i u l n i a n b b g t r a o n ffi o t fcs' p o r f o fe p s u s b i o l i n c a t r u g s e t n t i l n e m t e h n e , to_w and n emen, thetown, pon e t s he county gentlemen, sat down to an elegant entertainment, consisting of wine, fruit, &c. in the County Hall. The Lord Provost was in the chair, supported on the right by Mr. Sheriff IVhighain, Reverend Dr. Thomson, Mr. M‘Leish, Dean of Guild, Colonel Peeblei of the Sixth Cara bineers, &c. ; and on the left by Bailie Clunie, Mr, Smythe, of Methven, Colonel Balmain, &c. The Magistrates and Town Clerks acted as Croupiers a t the bottom of the different tables. Among the guests present on this occasion, were not a few whose names are distinguished in potence and literature ; and, among others, Professors Anderson, Gillespie, Duncan, &c. &c. The proceed.• ings were extremely interesting, and characteristA the most enthusiastic loyalty and devotion to her Ma jesty, but we have not time to report them minutely. Several of the speeches delivered on the occasion were really eloquent and happily expressed, and Provost Sidey, particularly, acquitted himself admirably. On the health of her Majesty being drank, the national anthem w a s sung b y M. Wilson, the emi nent vocalist, assisted by some other singers, and in which the majority of the coMpany took a part. Mr, Wilson sang several Scottish songs in the course of the evening, and an excellent' band fl , om Edinhurgh, under the leadership of Mr, It. B. Stewart, filled up the pauses betwixt the toasts . that were not oconpiod with other music. The party separated about ten o'clock, highly delighted With the proceedings of th e day, and with the liberality : o f the T own C ounc i l, as displayed in the sumptuous banquet with which they had been regaled. The proceedings of the day .woro oanoluded by an excellent display of fireworks, which commenced im • inediately after the breaking up of the company at the banquet, _ _ DONCASTER. RACES.-51'. LEGER. (From the Doncaster Gazette.) This, the commencement of a new era in the racing annals of Doncaster, must be hailed with feelings of high satisfaction—even of exultation in many in stances—by every lover of the turf, especially by those who have looked to the recurrence of its annual splendid fete, with its countless delightful associa tions, and embracing advantages almost, if not en tirely, unrivalled—by those who have accustomed themselves to pay to the town, during the race week, their annual visit for the purposes of relaxation and enjoyment. Doncaster, far-famed as it is, has not yet seen its best racing (lays. With regard to the beautiful race-ground .itself, with its splendid approaches, and all the arrange ments connected with the proceedings of the week, those measures have been adopted for the extension of the comfort and the safety of the visitors, which which leave little to be desired. As allusion has already been made to the several new stakes, as well as to the extraordinary number of subscribers in others, there is no occasion t o go over the same ground. It will be sufficient to state, in this pla ce , th a t th e l a r ges t li st ever presente d in Don caster to the admirers of the good old English cus tom of horse racing, will be the forthcoming list of 1842. Merely premising that the ball will he opened on Monday next with, amongst others, the Great York shire Handicap which will be deemed by many per sons as interesting as the St. Leger itself, one may at once pass on to, certainly, the great event of the week, with the hundred and thirty-four subscribers, the largest St. Leger hitherto known. Presuming that the character of public running is the best test as to the powers and capabilities of the respective competitors when brought together in one mighty and interesting struggle, let us glance at these performances. --_____ THE LATE M U RDER AT QUADRIN G. INQUEST ON TIDE BODY. An adjourned inquest was held on W e d nes d ay on the body of Mary Spencer, a sc hoolmistress, of whose harbarous murder a report appeared a few days ago in The Sun. The bloody shirt of the supposed 'mur derer was produced in Court, and after a patient in vestigation the Jurors returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against William llowitt. A letter from one of our Co rrespondents contains as follows ;____i , Th e young some further particulars, man who is committed for the horrid murder has from his birth been deprived of the power of speaking and hearing, but has been long dread malicious disposition. The day dreaded o n accou nt of his after the murder, he was at work in a field close by the house in which the mangled corpse lay a mere wrack of what it was only a few hours before, and he was actually ob4rved by the bystanders to be satisfyi ng _ his hunger before the door (which was wide open), and while gazing on the lifeless remains of his victim. William llowitt was at large until Friday eve n i ng, when he. was apprehended he had gon? to rest f or th e n i g ht. The box which contained his wearing apparel was examined, and some of it to all appearance had been soaked in blood, and afterwards washed, but not dried. With them was found a knife, U ponwhich blood re mained, although it had evidently been thrust in the ground. Howitt was at once taken by the constable of Doni ng t on to his residpce, wh ere he remained that night. On the following morning the Coroner's. inquest was held on the body.

A boy, named John Cox ' was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having entered the pre mises of Mr. Taylor, who keeps the Blue Anchor public-house, in Fenchurch-street, with intent to plunder. The prisoner had been pot-boy in Mr. Taylor's house, some time ago ; and it appeared that he bad, at at a late hour, made his way into the house, through a window, and locked the landlord's bed-room door, from the outside, in order, no doubt, to prevent Mr Taylor from leaving the chamber in the event of alarm. The police in the neighbourhood having had reason to suspect, from noises which they heard, that something wrong was going on inside, knocked at the door, and found that Mr. Taylor was a prisoner in his Own room, and the female was in great terror and amazement. The house was searched but no person was found. The bar-maid, however, at a little after six o'clock in the morning, observed the prisoner emerge from the trap-door of the cellar, with which his former habits in the house had made him ac quainted, and the police, who, of course, had their attention fixed upon th e house, secured him. The prisoner said it was a mistake. He never had been on the premises at all. The LORD MAYOR—I consider the family had a narrow escape. You were, no doubt, in the house to let in thieves to plunder it. The prisoner —I had no notion of committing any offence, I was looki ng f or a p l ace on l y. The Lord Mayor committed the prisoner to Brides well for two months. BOW-S7REET. James Samuel Brown, who was remanded from this Court last Saturday, on the charge of forging Post-office orders for 39/. 9s. 5d., was yesterday. again placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged with four distinct cases of forgery, to the amount altogether of 143/. Bs. 2d., with intent to defraud the IPostmaster-General. The first case, which was partly gone into on Saturday last, and the particulars of which appea re d in our Third Edition of that day, charged the pri soner with forging eight money orders, to the amount of 39/. 9s. 5d., purporting to be drawn by the -Past office at Sittingbourne, in Kent. The following additional evidence was take n i n this case : Charles Frederick Armstrong examined—l am a clerk in the money order department of Ow ral Post-office, and reside at No. 22, Grove-terrace, St. John's-wood. On looking at the ten turnkey orders which were found by Constable Peake in We prisoner's lodgings.

They are all in the prisoner's handwriting, and are dated Au gust 30, 1842. Robert Polter examined—l am a coachman, in the service of Mr. Wells, livery-stable-keeper, of the Blackfriar's-road. I know the prisoner. On the 4th of August, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, he came to my master's stables, and ord ere d a carriage with a p a i r o f h orses. He had a cash-box in his hand. I put to the horses, and the prisoner gut into the carriage. He ordered me to drive to the Post-office at Kennington. I drove him there , _ and he got out a t the Post-o ffi ce, and took his cas h-box with him. 1 then drove him by his orders to the Post-office in the Clapham-road,. the Post -office on Camberwell-green, and the Post-office at Islington, at all of which places lie got out, and took his casl A . box with him. I then drove him to the Bank. o f England, where he also got out with his cash-bo, L next drove Unto Sadler's Well's Theatre, w'ne m h e opened the cash-box, and gave me ls. to get some refreshment at the Sir IlughAliddleton.pubPe-house. I saw sovereigns in the box then. He shrirtly after wards came to me at the public-house, tnd gave me 2s. more, and told me he should not went me any more William Marsh, postmaster at Sitt:ngbourne, proved_ .that the letters of advice, dated Sittingbourne, Au.. gust 23d, 1842, and purporting to be issued by time post-office there, upon the post-office at Camberwell, advising the office to pay the money -order Nos, 1 207 to 213 for 51. and 214 for 4/. 9s. 5d., were not & sue d by him or by any person in his employ. The ether three charges were then heard, led Mr. Peacock, Solicitor to the Post-office, said he had some further evidence to produce, and requested the Magis. trates to remand the prisoner till to-morrow. The prisoner declined saying anything to any of' the charges, and was then remanded till to-morro w (thi s day), when he will be fully committed for tripl WORSHIP-STRKET. OMNIBUS RACING.--Johil Pearso4, the proprietor and driver of a Clapton omnibus, area Edward Lana way, the driver of one of Barber's 1.-laokney omnibuses, were summoned at the ins:Amt.:6 of Tvsson, Esq., lord of the manor of ;hipper Clapton, to answer a charge of furious kairi. Mr. John stated that on the morning of the 29th ult., tils brother and he got into the de fendant Pew:soil's omnibus, at Upper Clapton, for the purpose of proceeding to London. During the first. part bf the journey the defendant loitered so much that they found it necessary to complain of hie con duct, but on reaching the 'Triangle at Haokney the defendant Lanaway's omnibus passed _them at a rapid rate, and the defendant Pearson quickened his pace, apparently in order to overtake it, wflich he suc ceeded in doing, and both the omnibuses were drivea abreast of each other, with the horses at a gallop, for a considerable distance. The passengers were greatly alarmed, and witness's brother repeatedly called to the defendant Pearson to stop, but his request was unheeded. On reaching the turnpike the defendant Pearson pulled up his horses, and witness got out with his brother, and travelled the rest of the way on foot. Neither of them paid any fare, and no demand vras, made for it; but the defendant expressed his regret at the occurrence; and said that he was unabha to prevent it. Mr. Ilitonoirros said that the public were very much indebted to Mr. Tysson for the trouble he had taken in bringing the case forward. The offence had been completely made out, and he had no hesi tation in saying that if death had ensued in conse. (pence of their furious driving, it would have amounted to an aggravated case of manslaughter. lie should fine the defendant Pearson .505., and the other defendant 405., and in default of payment be should commit them for one month to the House of Correction. The fines were paid. UNION- li ALL. Daniel Good, a timber-dealer s.nd wharfinger, was charged with uttering a forged bill for 1631. 13s. 9d,,, purporting to be the acceptunce of Evans, Brother,and Co., m erc h an t s, o f Three Cranes,l'harres-street. Mr. Clarkson, on the part of the prosecution, gave the outline of th e case, and called Mr. G. D. Gordon, who stated that he was building seine houses in the neighbourhood of the Kent-road,'and that his builder being in difficulties, he took a quantity of timber of him. A portion of this timber the prisoner, through the medium of a Mr. Alexander, employed by com plainant on the occasion, offered to purchase for 1591. 18s. 6d., and in payment tendered a bill for ) 163/.13 5 . 9d., purport i ng to be accepted by D. Beck ham, whom lie described as one of the partners in the above firm ; he represented himself at he same time to be acting for a person named Stephen Stevens. Complainant having ascertained the respectability of the firm alluded to, accordingly took the bill, giving his own at two months, for the difference to, be deducted from the amount, and the price of the befOre taking it timber. Subsequently to the transaction, inqui r i es etsisleyofatthoenbeeillpronounced it to were made at 11.1essrs.

Complain u pon him ant at another interview with the pris oner , ca ll e d to restore him back his timber offer. in at the same time to resign possession of thei bill, but this proposition not having been acceded to, he, therefore, was compelled to adopt the present proceed hen against him, On behalf of the accused it was contended, that it would be shown that the acceptor of the bill belonged to the firm upon which he had drawn, and that it would be duiy honoured wh en it b ecame due. It having been stated that some important wltnesses were not in attendance, the further hearing of the charge was postponed until a future day, and in Are meantime the accused was taken back to the Queen's Bench Prison, of which he has been an inmate for some time. GREENWICH. Frederick Hader, who has for a short time been residing in the Greenwich-road, Greenwich, and carrying on the business of a g,reengrocer, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Grove, charged with bigamy, he having married a widow of the name of Elba Seal, on the Bth of last month, at the church of St.. Alphage, Greenwich, his wife, whose maiden name was Maria Brian, being alive, and whom he married on the 29th of August, 1822, at the church of St. Mary, Lambeth. Mr. Burton, the usher of the Court, informed the: worthy Magistrate, that the duped women were in such a state of excitement, in consequence of the un manly and brutal conduct of the prisoner, that they were unable to attend to give evidence against him, and wished the case to stand over until this day, when. in all probability they would he more composed and! collected. Mr. GnovE said that the case, under these elreuna" stances, should be postponed as requested. The Opera by Mr.. Rooke, which was in p rep at Co vent G ar d en last season, will be produced dur ing the present.
