WAR-DEPARTMENT, APRIL 3. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to his Lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C. B.:— Before Sebastopol, March 20, 1855. My Lord,—lt is with deep concern that I transmit for your Lordship's information the copy of a letter which I received on the 18th instant, from General Canrobert, an nouncing, with every expression of concern, the death of a British officer, who appears to have wandered into the French camp, and not answering the challenge that was repeated three times was shot dead by the French sentry, whose post he had approached. This officer, Surgeon Le Blanc, of the lJth Foot, occu pied a tent near the hospital huts of his regiment, situated at some distance from the encampment of the regiment itself. He was a gentleman of most temperate habits, and was occupied in reading, when suddenly, upon the alarm sounding, he rose from his seat, leaving his candle lighted and his book open, and walked out. He was never seen alive afterwards. It should be explained that shortly after the close of day on the 17th there was a very heavy fire on the left of the French right, which was maintained for severalhours. None of the English posts were attacked, but it was considered prudent to get the greater portion of our troops under arms. Mr. Le Blanc was shortsighted, and probably mistook his way from the first, the night being excessively dark, for he was found far distant to the left, and must have wandered from our position without knowing the direction in which he was going. Being anxious to ascertain the facts of this unfortunate case as correctly as possible, I have set on foot an inquiry to be conducted by English and French officers, in associa tion with each other; and I propose to do myself the honour to send you their report. I have addressed a similar letter to the General Com manding-in-Chief. —I have, &c., The Lord Panmure, &c. (Translation.) H March 18, 1855. My Lord,—l am grieved to have to inform you of an event, much to be regretted, which painfully engrosses the French army and its Commander-in-Chief. Last night, whilst the troops were kept perpetually on the alert, an English officer presented himself before the line of the 18tn Regiment, established near the watch tower behind our trenches of the left attack. Although summoned three times by tho qui vire the officer did not reply; the sentinel fired, and he was killed on the spot. I can hardly understand how this unhappy officer found himself at such an hour so far from the English camp. I believe that his death can only be attributed to his own imprudence; but I do not the less deplore this event, which must also be attributed to the natural emotion of a young soldier, who, in the midst of the events which marked last night, rigorously executed the military regu lation.--I have, &c., (Signed) GL. CANROBERT, General-in-Chief of the French Army. Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, &c. THE LONDON GAZETTE. RAGLAN. (THIS EVENING.)

The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received a despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Rio Grande do Sul, notify ing that British shipmasters visiting that port have been in the habit of calculating the Brazilian "Palmo" as equi valent to nine inches British, and to signal the draught of water of their vessels (which is notified in Palmos) accord ing this e s ti ma t e .

The Englishman is pre•eminently a horse-racing ani mal. Our kings, from Charles 11. to George IV., have all had a penchant for the turf. Our statesmen, our Foxes, Grahams, and Bentincks, have studied the mys teries of finance at Tattersall's and Newmarket. No sooner is an English colony settled in a waste or bar barous land, than a race-course is laid out. Eve❑ Sierra Leone, " the white man's grave," has its race-course. Our officers while hemmed in in Affghanistan had their trainings and matches under the walls of Jellalabad. And now the Russian look-outs—watching, through their glasses, the doings in our camp before Sebas topol—are perplexed by the movements of crowds which would have no mystery for any clerk or coster monger who has witnessed a " Derby Day." We have been favoured, by a friend in the camp, with a list of the reces—though not with a " list of the running horses"—that were fixed to come off in the rear of the camp of the Fourth Division, " Russians and cannon balls permitting." Here it is : FOURTH DIVISION RACES. By permission of the Major-General commanding it is proposed that races should take place in rear of the Fourth Division Encampment on the 17th instant, com mencing at 11 a. m. Steward's.—Colonel Garrett, K.H. ; Major Somerset, R.A. ; Captain Radcliffe, 20th Regiment ; Lieutenant- Colonel Smyth, 68th Regiment; Captain Croker, 17th Regiment.

GRAND CHAMPION CHALLENGE CUP, TO BE CONTENDED FOR BY COUNTIES. Notwithstanding the unsettled state of the weather large preparations and arrangements have already been made for the approaching season. Indeed there are not a few places whereat occasional practice has commenced, and it requires but a littledry weather to draw out many others. With the month of April numerous clubs enter upon their regular practice, and, considering the vast in crease in the number of matches that have of late years been played, and the early period at which many of them take place, it has become necessary for all parties to begin their practice sooner in the spring than was formerly the custom, except so far as regarded certain players. But it was by means of the adoption of that early practice that the latter were able to coma into the field in May in full play. This hint, it is hoped, will not be thrown away upon gentlemen who are anxious to take part in the May matches. The " Universities " are usually among the " early birds," but as yet we have not beard of any particular movement at Cambridge. At Oxford, on the contrary, they are up and stirring with unusual energy, we learn. Not only have the members of the colleges there, espe cially those of Magdalen and Christ Church, secured the services of the players whose names we shall presently introduce, but the former of these two clubs have raised a subscription, amounting to something like 5001., for the purpose of erecting a pavilion, and have already ad vertised for tenders, that sum being the maximum of the proposed expenditure upon the building. This spirited proceeding has infused a vigour into the Oxford cricket world which that university bad long been free from, and it is anticipated, therefore, that they will put forth an eleven this year who, with respect of strength in each branch of the game, will possess such powers as have rarely been drawn from the banks of the Isis. Among the professional bowlers who it is known ar rangements have been made with, some from Monday next, may be named :—Armitage, Bickley, Carpenter, Grundy, Hillyer, Hinkley, James Lillywhite, Martin gell, Nixon, Stephenson, Wells, &c. Dean goes, as heretofore, to initiate the students at Marlborough College ; Wisden resumes his duties at Harrow ; Caffyn goes to Winchester ; and John Lillywhite, of course, is to be found at Rugby. Moreover, the heights in the vicinity of Sebastopol and Balaklava are about, even if they have not already been so, to become the scene of our great national pastime, for many of the officers out there areTmembers, and not a few of them playing members of the Marylebone and Surrey clubs. Le one of the recent letters from the seat of war it was stated that our officers had astonished the Cossacks by some races they had got up, and that it was intended still further to surprise that force by the introduction of cricket. These people will thus have the opportunity of gazing at two of England's most patronised and most popular sports. As we stated a short time since, the Marylebone Club, as well as that of Surrey, has announced the arrange ment of its grand matches, whilst the Eleven of England anti the United Eleven have snore offers for snatches in different parts of the kingdom than either will be able to undertake. A feature of unusual novelty, furthermore, will this season be introduced to the cricket lovers; a novelty it is, too, which will create the most lively interestin those who have the least regard for their respective county's reputa tion. It has been promulgated by the committee of the Sheffield Cricket Club, that it is their intention to put forth a silver cup, of the value of 501., to be designated—" The Cricketers' County Champion Chal lenge Cup," for competition between four of the recog nised cricketing counties ; the three contests to take place at Sheffield in the months of June, July, August, or September. The counties who propose to enter the lists, according to the arrangement of the committee, are to send in their applications to M. J. Ellison, Esq., of Sheffield, on or before April the 15th, accompanied by a remittance of the sum of 251., as a guarantee for the due appearance of the respective elevens on the day to be hereafter selected. This deposit will be re paid to each county upon the termination of each match respectively, the remittance being required only as a security fvr good faith. In case either of the counties who, having entered the lists, should fail duly to send its representatives to the battle-field in question, this deposit will be forfeited to the Sheffield Club. So soon as the four counties have signified their wish to compete for the prize, the committee will pro ceed to a ballot, when the two first drawn counties will be expected to play the match on the particular Monday and following days, which the committee may appoint subsequently, in the month of June. The other two competing counties will be called upon to play their match in July or August, and the two victorious coun ties in those contests will be summoned to play the third and conquering match in the months of August or September in the present year. Each losing county in the two first matches will receive from the Sheffield committee 501., in addition to the return of their own ei depo sit din g el f d 2 s s e l n . d i as n gd a ow p n a t m h e e i n r i e f v t e h n e ; r b ex o p t el%nisteh sp s rienpeorot sttoo,rtti,iii,lueesscouoomnoqnouttyerling m a t c h, i n that case, whilst the vic c county. wi1125 w be rewarded handed with i the to th losing e en p and We doubt not that the competing counties will be Surrey, Sussex, Nottingham, and York, and, loe'Ei g way, si! first-nameds s p p n e e k t i l n t g e o ) o ' f take that" t a h c o e c o o o mn Surrey t p y ls w h :n o d e men for last f n v o o r year, e e e .w f o e feats the t t oi h il ed e heard something said as to Julius Cnear having received an engagement from the Earl of Stamford and Warring ton for the season, but the fa c t h as not as yet reached us in an official form.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LivEarooL, APRIL 2 EVANS T. ROBINSON. The Attorney-General, Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, and Mr. Aspland appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Watson, Q.C., Mr. Atherton, Q.C., Mr. Rew, and Mr. Quain for the defendant. This was an action for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. TheAttorney-General, in addressing the jury, said that he should not in this instance adopt the usual mode in inquiries of this nature, by asking the jury to award his client compensation for the loss of his wife's affections, for those affections he must plainly tell them had been anticipated even before the marriage by the defendant. The defendant had most effectually supplanted the plaintiff in the bosom of his wife both before and after their marriage, and, being himself already a married man, he had after the union with the plaintiff and his wife resumed his influence to the dishonour and disgrace of his client. The plaintiff, Mr. Evans, was a gentleman of fortune, 37 years of age, and had been educated at Eton and Oxford, and in the month of November, 1850, he was married to Miss Carrington, one of four laughters of a gentleman of that name residing at Chel enham ; in fact, the families of Mr. and Mrs. Evans had resided since the year 1845 at that place, and had continued on terms of intimate friendship. Upon the mar riage the plaintiff made a settlement upon hiswife of 5004. a year, and had hoped for much happiness in the object of his choice, who he should tell them was a lady of con siderable attractions. They first went to Paris, and then to Leicester, the plaintiff being very partial to hunting ; and towards the close of a short sojourn there the lady began to manifest symptoms of indifference to wards her husband, urging as a reason a proposition on the part of her husband that his aged and infirm mother should be allowed to reside with them. Differences, however, continued to arise, which ended in high words upon the occasion of misconduct on the part of a maid of Mrs. Every. The lady's father was appealed to, and he at first endeavoured to persuade the lady to obey her husband's wishes ; nevertheless, she was inexorable, and insisted upon hafing an allowance from her hus band, which he granted, amounting to 2501. per an num, during his mother's life. This demand had been made during a short visit at Sinclair-villa, which ended in the lady's returning to her father's house, and there it was that the defendant renewed his visits to her. He (the Attorney-General) should show that he paid fre quent and daily visits to her father's house, and then it was that the plaintiff began to be satisfied that he had been duped as to this unfortunate marriage. Of course, his wife's proceedings with the defendant soon reached the plaintiff's ears, and in 1853 he ascertained for the first time that the lady had left her father's house for London, in company with the defendant. Application was then made to the plaintiff's solicitor, who succeeded in tracing the lady to some apartments at No. 15 in the Edgeware-road, and afterwards in Bryanston-street, which had been taken by the defendant, whose visits were daily, and who had obtained a latch key for the more easy access to the lady's apartments. It would be proved that the blinds of the windows were always drawn down after the gentleman's arrival for about half an-hour, and the plaintiff, having become satisfied of the criminal conduct of his wife, employed Inspector Field to take the necessary steps to detect her, and under his direction holes were bored in the folding doors between the drawing-room and bed-room, and three women, one of whom was the landlady, would distinctly tell them that they witnessed on two or three occasions distinct criminal acts between Mrs. Evans and the defendant. After hearing these witnesses, it would be for them to say whether their testimony was entitled to credit. No doubt the learned counsel on the ;other side would try and persuade them not to believe their evidence ; but the jury would remember that in all cases of adulterous in tercourse it was necessary to employ persons who would watch and take especial means in discovering the miscon duct of the parties. The plaintiff in this instance did not seek for any damages for the lost affections of his wife, but lie sought to be relieved at their hands of a " tie" so productive of dishonour to him, and this he should be able to effect by applying afterwards to the House of Lords, and if the defendant had in this case, as he be lieved he had, induced the plaintiff to marry tnis lady at the very time that he knew he was in possession of her affections, and had even exulted at the time of the wed ding that they had caught a shy fish at last—if he had done this, he was sure they would agree with him in thinking that human imagination could hardly conceive conduct more disgraceful than that of the defendant in this action. William Edward Lawrence, examined by Mr. Ser jeant Wilkins, said--I am a justice of the peace for the cour ty; of Glocester, residing at Cheltenham. I was present at the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Evans, at St. George's, Hanover-square. I am a trustee of the mar riage settlement. The plaintiff's income is about2,oool. a-year. He was educated at Eton and Oxford. His father was a magistrate for the county, and the defend ant is also a magistrate. He is separated from his wife. I have seen the defendant in company with the plain tiff's wife, riding and walking. Sometimes they were unattended and sometimes attended. I have seen them sometimes ; too, in a carriage unattended. They rode in the defendant's carriage—a one-horse carriage. I have seen them riding before the marriage and since then. 'Cross-examined by Mr. Watson.—l was examined last summer. I then said I had seen them together in public several times. Mr. Robinson has lived in Chel tenham 16 years. He is a magistrate and deputy-lieu tenant. I should say his age is probably 48. He has a son grown up in the Treasury. Mr. Carrington has three daughters and two sons. I was not on visiting terms with the family before they came to Cheltenham. Mr. Robinson has during a great portion •f that time been a very intimate friend of the family, both before and after the marriage. I may have seen Mrs. Evans's father and mother walking with them when Mr. Robin son and Mrs. Evans were together. Mr. Robinson's carriage was an open carriage. Mrs. Taylor said—l am a widow and reside at Lei cester. I let furnished apartments to the plaintiff in 1850. Mr. Evans brought ES carriage and horse with him. He used to hunt three days a week generally, but occasionally took Mrs. Evans for a drive. On one occasion he could not go when the carriage was at the door. After hunting he returned home to dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Evans used to visit various friends, and their friends called upon them. Mr. Evans never left his wife alone in the evening. I had persons of the highest respectability lodging with me. While they were absent from my apartments at Cheltenham there was a misun derstanding about their servant. Mr. Evans always exhibited very kind condwtt towards his wife. Cross-examined by Mr. Atherton—l do not remember saying that Mr. Evans hunted five days in the week. My servant used to wait upon Mr. and Mrs. Evans when they were at my house. Mrs. Evans put herself ix a violent passion - when Mr. Evans insisted upon dis charging her maid. William, John Charlton,said—l reside at Cheltenham, know the defendant, Mr. Robinson, and I know Mrs. Evans very well. I have frequently seen them riding together and walking, both before and since the mar riao ; 'they were always unattended. I have never seen them riding with any one else. Alfred Cooke said—l am a footman, in the service of Mr. Carrington. I have been there two years and three months. Mrs. Evans lives there, and Mr. Robinson is there most days when he is in town. Sometimes he is there twice a day. Mrs. Evans rides out on horse back, and walks with him. She rode Mr. Robinson's horse. Mr. Robinson very frequently called when the other members of the family were out. They were gene rally in the drawing-room an hour or more. Cross-examined by Mr. Watson—l left Mr. Carring ton's service last Friday without giving any notice. I did not tell Mr. Carrington I was going. I left upon re ceiving a subpoena. I have seen Mr. Field. I met him the first time by accident in Lansdowne -terrac e ; after wards I saw him by arrangement. I did not get my wages before leaving ; Mr. Carrington owes rue three months' wages. Ido not know who will pay me for my l oss o f wag e s. I had not had any promise of money from any one. I do expect my wages paid me if a verdict is obtained. Mr. Melton, the solicitor, served use with the subpoena, mad then I left without seeing my roaster. John Meyer said—l keep a chop at the Promenade, Cheltenham. I know the defendant and Mrs. Evans. I frequently go out in the afternoon to work at a piece of land I have near Swindon-lane. I have seen the de endant and Mrs. Evans coming out that way in the reler soon on horseback. a Capt.- Richard Litchfield said—l am acquainted with ttae Carrington limey, and know the defendant, Mr. Robinson. I sus aware that the lady returned to her father's house after her marriage. I have seen them together. John Griffith said— I hold a situation at the Board of Ordnance in the Tower. I was formerly in the police, and left it in 1853. I was employed by Mr. Duncan, the solicitor, to watch Mrs. Evans, and I watched No. 15, Edgeware-road, London. This was in June of that year. I know Mr. Robinson, and I saw him go there three or four times a-day. On one occasion I saw him knock at the door. This was his first visit. I saw him there afterwards, and he used to go up td the first floor. I was in a public-house opposite and could see the win dow. He generally appeared at the window with a lady and sat down. Mr. Robinson then used to pull down the blind. I saw this once a day. I still continued to watch the house. The blind was generally dow❑ for about 20 minutes to half-an-hour, and then Mr. Robin son used to draw it up. I saw them walk and ride out daily from the 25th of June to the Bth of July, with the exception of two days. I used to follow them when they walked. The first day I followed them to the National Gallery, and I have followed them of an even ing until a quarter past 0 in the park. Mr. Robinson seemed always most attentive to Mrs. Evans. Cross-examined by Mr. Watson—l was in the police 15 years, and then retired in February, 1853. I now reside in Lambeth. It was Mr. Murphy introduced me to Mr. Duncan, the solicitor, who employed me to watch. I received 1/. 4s. a-week for watching, and my expenses were allowed me for cab-hire. Some days this charge amounted to 4•. a-day. I had to report the result of my watching daily to Mr. Duncan. Re-examined by Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—When I left the police I had my pension and a first-class certificate granted time. - Mrs. Phillips —I am the wife of James Phillips, a tailor, and reside at 15, Edgeware-road. The defendant took my apartments. ' The morning after Mrs. Evan■ arrived he asked me for a latch-key, and one was given to him. He let himself in by that key. Mrs. Evans remained at our lodgings a fortnight. Defendant came there two or three times a-day. , There is a sofa in the drawing-room, near the window. Cross-examined—I do not say it can be seen from the road. Mrs. Evans had a servant who attended upon Ler. James Phillips—l live at 15, Edgeware•road. i rernem- Ler "Sirs. Evans lodging there. I saw the defendant there. POLICE INT SLLIGENCE. Mr. Broughton-4 am astonished to hear such a re mark from the learned gentleman, who must be aware that it is the practice at the assizes and the Central Cri minal Court that a person at the bar should be unveiled. How is it possible to identify a person charged who has a veil over her face ? Mr. Ballantine remarked that it was quite time enough for the accused when there was a necessity for her identification to remove her veil. Mr. Ballantin e (t o th e w i tness Welch)—Are the hand kerchiefs said to have been stolen here ? The handkerchiefs were produced. Mr. Ballantine—Had any handkerchiefs been shown to Mrs. Ramsbotham ? Witness —Not that I am aware of. Mr. Ballantine—The value of the four, I believe, you consider 9s. 6d ? Witness —Yes. Mr. Ballantine—Are they really cambric ? Witness—They are. Mr. Ballantine—French cambric ? Witness—l should say " Yes." Mr. Ballantine had no questions in cross•examination to put to Beckett, the policeman. Mr. Bonsor, on the part of the prosecution, said that his client had not been actuated by any particle of ill feeling in following up the matter, which had been brought under his notice by parties in his establishment. He telt it to be a duty which he now owed, not only to himself, but to his brother tradesmen, to pursue the inquiry. Tile additional witness was James Watkins, who was examined by Mr. Bonsor. Mr. Bonsor—ln whose service are you ? Witness—l am an assistant to Mr. Motile, 54, Baker street. Mr. Bonsor—Do you know the prisoner at the bar? Witness—l know her from her having conic into the shop en Tuesday last. Mr. Beneor—At what time did she come in ? Witness—At about half-past 11 o'clock in the fore noon. Mr. Bansor—Explain what took place. Witness —When she came in she asked to look at some linings. I showed her three or four pieces, and she selected one piece at 4ad. a-yard. About six yards were cut off it. I asked her if she wanted anything else, and she replied that she did not. I presented to her a box containing half-a-dozen cambric handkerchiefs. She said that she did Lot require them ; but that, if s h e re quired any, th ose I produced were o too thin a texture. Another packet from the other side of the shop was handed to her ; it contained handkerchiefs of another description. She. observed that they were the kind of handkerchiefs she liked, but that she did not then wish for any. She then asked me to show her an article of dress, at the same time remarking that she did not want to purchase it. I went to the other end of the shop for the dress, which I placed before her. She told me she was much obliged to me for showing it to her, and asked me to make out the bill for the lining she had bought. I did so, and when she paid it she desired me to send the parcel to 7, Portman-square. The handkerchiefs produced I identify by the marks upon them as the property of Mr. Moule. Mr. Ballantine—Are they French cambric I Witness (after some hesitation)—l cannot positively say that they are. Mr. Ballantine—Are they sold as French handker chiefs Witness—They are sold as French cambrics. Mr. Ballantine=-Are they not sold to ladies as French cambrics/ Witness (rather confused)—Not in all cases, sir. Mr. Ballantine—What handkerchiefs were those which you first showed to Mrs. Ramsbotharn ? Witness—They were of a different description ; but I cannot say that they were of a better quality. They were of a more expensive kind than those in the second box. One lot was hemmed and the other was not. Mr. Ballantine—Are you sure that the defendant did not say, "Make out the bill for what i hare had, and not merely for the lining." Witness—She said nothing more than "Make out the bill for the hieing." She paid for it, and the parcel was forwarded to her house in Portman-square, agreeably to the directions she gave. Mr. 'Ballantine—Was she known to you as Mrs. Itamsbotham! Witness—Not to me. She was known to some of our establishment. Welch was recalled, and in reply to a question put to him, he stated that, while passing down Baker-street with the prisoner, she (prisoner) said, " I have got the handkerchiefs, but I had no intention of stealing them." Mr. Broughton—Was that after having denied that she was in Mr. Morale's shop ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Fell, chief clerk—Yoti did not state on your pre vious examination that the prisoner observed she did nut intend to steal the handkerchiefs? Witness—l believe I did. Mr. Herring—No, you did not. Mr. Fell—lf you had, lam sure it would have been down in my minutes. This closing the case for the prosecution, • Mr. Balantine, en the part of the defendant, in a lengthened and most impassioned address, urged the magistrate not to send the accaaed for trial. In the course of his speech Mr. Ballantine alluded to what he considered a great impropriety—requiring the prisoner to lift up her veil, and thereby expose herself to the gaze of every one in the court, which was densely crowded by persons who bad been attracted there in order to look upon a lady whose state of inind was most distressing. Mr. Broughton, ri r,forence to the last remark of the learned counsel, said he Hoped he should never live to see the time when a court of justice should not be looked upon as an open court, whether a party charged was in a rich or poor condition of life. (Applause was here manifested to some extent, but it was speedily re pressed by the officers.) The magistrate added that, p ei h n h c l e ic t i h ty, the report of the ei firmer severalrmer t proceedingslete, in had one gai of ned which the writer said—" I have read with feelings of the greatest disgust the report in the papers. A police court was never meant for the purpose of receiving evi dence against respectable p eo pl e. " Th e writer further said that he was a friend of Lord Palmerston, and that he (the magistrate) would be sure t o suffer if Le dared to send Mrs. RainsbAtharn for trial. Mr. Moule had also received several letters from persons stating that they should cease ta deal with him if he was so blind to his own interest as to go on with the case. One of the letters he had received contained a proposition that the affair might be compromised by contributing a sum of 1001. to the Middlesex Hospital. Mr. Ballantine thought it highly improper that Mr. Broughton should have read or referred to any such trash as that to which he (Mr. Broughton) had alluded. Mr. Broughton—lt is highly improper that such letters ,should be sent by any one pending an inquiry. Often it is the case that letters of such a description have been read publicly in court by judges at the cir cuit and at other law courts, Mr. Broughton, after some further observations, said that lie could not, con sistently with the oath he had taken as a magistrate to deal out justice fairly and impartially, consent to the liberation of the prisoner. Only that clay he had sent two women for trial who were charged under nearly similar circumstances, and if he were to discharge Mrs. R Lthr i e, t o tbth , n lll, s iban o :ak a tf it ou tr i ho , emw g thi h oe t le he eoef i l i l o ti t a:en i d ncommon o aidten e once ow justice, ibbehra htea had been them ; b e e al l e n adduced against Mrs. ilamsbothani, she must go before a jury for trial. He regretted exceedingly that a lady in her position of life was in such a situation as to com pel Lim to adopt that course, but be would take the came bail as ho did before—viz., 2,000/.—for her being forthcoming to answer the charge at the next Westmin ster sessions. Dr. Itainshotham and Mr. Lindsey renewed their for mer bail in 1,0001. each, rind the prisoner was then driven away in a cab, after bring led through one of the passages in the vicinity of the court, in order to avoid encountering a crowd of some hundreds of persons who had congregated in front of the magistrate's entrance in High -street. Madame Goldschmidt (Jenny Lind) has left Holland for Dresden ; but not to leave our Dutch friends utterly disconsolate for her loss, she has promised to return, and resume her vrofessionai airocations after Easter. _ - - THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SHOP LIFTING BY A LADY. MA.RYLEL'ONE.—The case of Mr•. Ramsbotham, which has excited an extraordinary degree of interest, came on for hearing yesterday morning, at the Maryle bone Police-court, before Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate. The time appointed was 2 o'clock, but at least an hour before that time the court and the passages were crowded to excess. The accused, whose age is about LiO, came up in a cab and remained in a private room until after the despatch of numerous night charges. At half-past 2 o'clock Mrs. Ramsbotham was brought into the court and placed at the bar, and two other ladies, in compliance with a request which was made, were allowed to be seated on either side of her. Mr. Ballantine, instructed by Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, with Mr. Herring, attended for the prisoner. Dr. Ramsbotham was present, as was also Dr. Tweedie, the latter of whom sat near the magistrate. • Mr Bonsor, from the office of Messrs. Ashuret, Son, and Morris, No. G, Old Jewry, appeared on behalf of Mr. Motile, the drapar, in Baker-street, from whose shop the four cambric handkerchiefs were alleged to have .been stolen. A report of the former proceedings in this case has been already inserted in The Sun, and it will be remem bered that an adjournment upon bail, to the amount of 2,0001., took place, the sureties being Dr. .Raiasbothatn and Mr. Lindsey, of Laurence Pountney-lane, for the pri soner's appearance, another witness—viz., the person by whom Mrs. Ramsbotham was served at the shop—being required to give evidence. The statements which had been given by Samuel Welch, one of the shopmen, and Beckett, 231 D, were read over by the chief clerk, Mr. Fell ; the two witnesses having heeu resworn to the truth of their dspositions. Mr. Broughton (to Anstead, the gauler).—Tell the defendant that she must put her veil up. It is usual to do so. Mr. Ballantine—Stop a moment. Whether usual or not, she is not bound, I presume, by any law of the land to do so. SPORTING NOTES. WAIFS AND STRAYS. • The rseetin,g at Lincoln scarcely pOSsesses 'even a • temporary or local interest—a sufficient excuse for not occupying space with anticipatory remarks respecting it. The current week will be barren of stirring sport ing incidents, unless, indeed, the elements of excitement be found at Harrow on Thursday. The experiment of getting up a popular metropolitan steeplechase meeting is again about to be made on the lixendon Farm, not withstanding the unmitigated failures which have hi therto attended the undertaking. Hopes, however, of better things were once held out, for report stated that Mr. Newcombe Mason had taken the affair in hand, but he, however, objects to a "partnership," and will now have nothing to do with the concern. Speculation seems paralysed. Mr. Howard has com pletely narrowed its range, and rendered it uninterest ing. For the Chester Cup he stops the way with Scy thian ; for the Two Thousand and Derby he effectually withstands all " bombardment " with St. Hubert ; and a probability exists that he will yet introduce something to engross the betting on the Oaks. People talk omi nously about St. Hubert, who, however, maintains his po sition in the turf-market with nnskaken firmness. It is said I that a noble lord offered to bet 1,0001. to 500/. against him, an offer which was declined. The most exaggerated reports are circulated respecting St. Hubert's private exploits. A rumour of his having been thrice tried with Virago at twenty-one pounds, and having easily de flated the "flyer" at the weight, is, perhaps, after all, not utterly unworthy of belief. St. Hubert, it is said, can de anything with Oulston, who is now seldom men tioned with marked favour. Still, certain parties perti naciously adhere to the belief that Oulston will yet prove worthy of the confidence which was once placed in him. Lord of the Isles is under daily deepening suspicion. The manner in which he was talked about at Northamp ton was scarcely complimentary to those who have the care of him. Almost any odlda were offered against his winning the Derby, and remaining in the Woodyates stable until the day of the race. Indeed, in the signifi cant slang of touts, Lord of the Isles is considered— whether justly or not—a "at iff-un." A reaction has set in respecting Scott's lot, Both De Clare and Graaculus Esuriens have been reintroduced into the market with increased forco. Many weeks ago I expressed my opinion that Grwculus Esuriens would not be the imposter which his opponents expect ; and through good and through evil report, I have adhered to that opinion. My faith is not yet shaken. The movements relative to Polydore have been some what perplexing. He is reported much improved on his autumn form, and his style of going is generally admired. Still, until within the last day or two, he encountered a steady and determined hostility in the turf market. His owner, however, has recently been seen to back him, and this circumstance, coupled with Quince's running, has somewhat discouraged his opponents. Polydore may be a useful horse for the Two Thousand, especially should any arrangement interfere with the starting of the fa vourite. Coroabus's performance at Epsom has caused the hopes of Dirk Hatteraick's Derby backers to revive. Dirk was, it is said, tried at the last Goodwood meeting to be up wards of twenty pounds better than Coroabus, and, de spite the sinister reports to the contrary, it is asserted that he has "trained on " most satisfactorily. Should Dirk be only a stone bitter than Corcehus I shall he con tent to "stand on" him alone fur the Darby. April 3. A FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CLOSING PRICES.

The room was well attended, and a considerable sum of money changed hands on the settlement of the ac counts connected with the recent events at Northampton and Croxton Park. The principal features in the betting, which was re sumed at intervals, were as follows : CHESTER CUP.—The chief outlay was in favour of Muscovite at 20 to 1 ; 4000 to 200 was+taken hi one bet. Mortimer advanced to 25 to 1 aed Joe Miller to 30 t 1 taken. Marc Antony was reported " lame ;" 40 to 1 was offered against him. THE Two THOUSAND.—GO to 40 was taken several times about St. Hubert; and the interval between him and Bonnie Morn, now again the second f avouri t e, was very distinctly increased, 9 to 2 being laid against the latter. As to Lord of the Isles he was threatened at one time with total expulsion, Polydore and. Claret being each hacked at evens against him. After a short pause, however, 6 to 4 was offered "he beats Claret," and towards the conclusion of business he was backed out right at 6 to 1, odds which were also taken about Polydore. TgE DERBY.--There was a good deal said about the favourite, but nothing done ; 6 to 1 may, however, be considered the right quotation. In the City, in the course of tho morning, 7 to 1 was betted against him to 5001., and the layer will stake his money on the Thursday be fore the race. De Clare was in good demand at 11 and 10 to 1, 1400 to 100 was taken about Grmculus Esuriens, SOO to 40 about Wild Dayrell, and 20 to 1 to nearly 4001. about Dirk Hatteraick, 2,500 to 100 about Bonnie Morn, and 3000 to 100 Rambling Katie. the first few strides, proceeded to make riirning, with I,:qy A.:tir,J - At jurop, Lae' Arthur went it head, but before reriehinc , the chateau/ Franc-Picard again got in f ron t, Lady Arthur ' dropping into the second place, artd Augustine taking the third: At the garden, Augustine took up the running and continued it to the brook where he fell, and wa s , " done f or ."

CHESTER GRAND STAND ON FlRE.—Last Saturday, evening the Grand Stand at Chester was discovered to be on fire, and before the flames could be subdued nearli the whole of the upper part of the interior was destroyed? and considerable damage was done to the saloon. The latter had only just been beautifully painted and deco rated ; the work was, in fact, scarcely finished when the lire broke out. It is supposed to have been accidentally occasioned by some workmen who were employed in re pairing the roof. The loss is covered by insurance In the West of England Office ; and we are requested to state that the Stand Committee will use every means to have the building made thoroughly sound and fit for the reception of the public at the approaching May meeting• Great praise is due to Mr. Hill, the chief constable, for his indefatigable exertions during the fire. MISS P. NORTON'S "GATHERINGS." Last night an entertainment was given by Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Reed, in the lower room of St. Martin's' ball. It is scarcely necessary to explain that Mrs. 2 G. Reed is the " Miss Priscilla Horton " who i m eao • talised herself as Ariel, when Mr. Macready revived The Tempest at Covent-garden Theatre, and since tha t time has been the main support of countless burlesques in which vocal talent was required as a necessary ad' junct of vivacious and intelligent acting. The new entertainment, which is entitled "Illusfra' tive Gatherings," is divided into two parts. In the first, which is called the "Animated Bouquet," Mr. and Mrs. Reed are supposed to be en a visit at the house of a lacii in a country village, and while Mr. Reed performs the office of explanatory " chorus " (in the Shaksperian sense), Mrs. Reed successively assumes the different characters whom they are supposed to meet. Mrs., Myrtle, the hostess, who is overflowing with energy and hospitality ; Miss Snowberry, a faded beauty of some' what sour temperament, who sings a capital song with a " moral ;" Sir Johnqeill, an empty-headed handsome gentleman, with a huge pair of whiskers and an inter minable giggle, which most comically contrasts with the expression of a sentimental ballad of his own com position ; and Miss Fuchsia Willow, a languishing beauty, with a profusion of curls and a taste for nothing —are ail excellent impersonations, complete in dress, voice, action, and appearance. More eccentric, but equally clever is a dialogue, in a broad dialect, between,. tw., old dames, e ac h o f whom is represe n t e d b y one hall of Mr-i. Reed, the fair artiste having one costume on her right side, the other on her left. The second part of the entertainment is entitled the "Earaged Musician," and is evid,-ntly based on the idea of Hogartlfe picture. Mr. T. Reed is the ronsi" ciao, engaged in the composition of an opera, and Mrs. Reed becomes in turn a talkative landlady, au itinerant Italian boy, a rustic housemaid, with an abnormal de' velopment of the organ of order, and a French cants . ' trice. In this new set of characters Mrs. Reed's impel' swotting talent is again displayed to the utmost advan tage, and her brilliant execution of "Robert, toi q uo j'airtie," brings the whole entertainment to an effective conclusion. This novel experiment of Miss P. Horton has proved thoroughly successful, though the enthusiastic audience of Mr. A. Mellon's concert, which was held in the room above, were sometimes so plainly heard iselow as almost to occasion an interruption. On the repetition of the entertainment, however, we would counsel abbreviation, especially in the first part, where two or three character; that we have not enumerated may be omitted with advantage.
