SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WOLVERHAMPTON RACES.—TuEspey. HEARTLESS ROBBERY BY A NURSE.—Mary Ann Pale field, a woman of about 60, of bloated appearance, and de scribed as a nurse, was charged with the following heart less robbery : Mr. James Clark, bootcloser, of 1, Ship-yard, Wardour street, Soho, said the prisoner had been employed by hlm for about 7 weeks to nurse his wife, who unfortunately died on Sunday week. He had since kept the prisoner em ployed, and in consequence of what he learnt from his ap• prentice, since the funeral of his wife, he took a constable to the prisoner's lodgings, 10, Hopkins. street, and there found a large quantity of articles, his property, including two bags of feathers, taken fz om the bed on which his late wife had been lying—in fact, there were articles of every description taken. Edwin Beale, apprentice to Mr. Clark, proved that on Monday last, owing to the absence of Mr. Clark, the pri soner came to him and said she was going on an errand. He went upstairs, and then looking out of the window, saw the prisoner leave the house with two bundles under her apron—the ends projecting. Pawson, 121 C, said prisoner denied having the feathers, but on going to her lodgings he found them sewed up in two bags. She at first said she had got them out of pawn in Tottenham-court-road, but afterwards that she had taken them out of her own b2cl to make two pillows; and on examining the bed it had not been opened. Mr. Mansfield remanded her for a few days. A BETTING AFFAIR.—Wm. Fey, a betting man, was charged with annoying Mr. John Wm. Clubb, fishmonger, of 17, Tyler- street, Regent-street. _ _ ➢ir. Clubb said—l gave the man in charge for causing a riot round my door. He called me a "thief," a "swindler," and everything else. I gave him in charge for the riot; but I beg to state that for the past few days he has been to my shop getting up a riot. All I want is peace and quiet ness. I don't want to fight everybody that challenges me. (Laughter.) I'll now leave the case in your worship's hands. Defendant—You owe me a bet, and refused to pay. Mr. Clubb—No, I don't. Defendant—You do. I was a little fresh, and excited because you did not " shell" up, Mr. Fishmonger. (Laughter.) Mr. Mansfield ordered the defendant to pay ss. for being drunk. ALLEGED DEATH OF A SON BY HIS FATHER AT NOTTING-HILL. At a late hour last night Mr. G. S. Brent, deputy-coro ner for West Middlesex, held an inquest at the Clarendon Arms, Clarendon-road, Notting-hill, on the body of Charles Routledge, aged 17, the son of Mr. Charles Rout ledge, of 13, Ebury-terrace, Notting-hill, whose death was alleged to have been occasioned in consequence of a violent alter cation between the father and son on the night of Satur day last. The only additional evidence adduced at the inquest was that of Dr. Coghlan, who deposed that he had been called in to pee the deceased at Mr. Routledge's, Elgin-terrace, and found him dead, but there were no marks of violence. He had since made a post-mortem examination of the body, and the result of that examination was that he had no doubt that the deceased died from a sudden fit of apoplexy, which might have been accelerated by excitement. The Deputy Coroner said after that evidence, and there being an entire absence of evidence that any blows had been inflicted, he thought the jury could have little doubt as to the cause of the death. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict that the deceased died from a sadden fit of apoplexy. Mr. Routledge, sen., will be brought up for further ex amination, but as the evidence is entirely the same as that at the inquest, after the verdict of the jury, he will, almost as a matter of course, be discharged.

After a couple of false starts, the lot got well off, Ethel, Paroquet, and Baliverne coming away slightly in advance. As they rounded the turn into the straight Baliverne took up the running, was never afterwards headed, and won cleverly by a length. Ethel raced in with the favourite from the distance, and close to the chair passed her, and was placed second, beating Express by a neck.

Avalanche cut out the work at a slow pace, the others straggling after her in the following order :—Bradfield, Malta, Jingling Johnny, and Oldminster, with Lysiscote and Flitch bringing up the rear. So they went along the far side of the course; Avalanche still held the lead, Malta having run into the second place, but in this position he did not long continue, for both Oldminster and Jingling Johnny passed him and took close order with Avalanche, and the three came on side by side along the straight, where Ava lanche compounded, and Flitch passed her, and closing with Oldminster and Jingling Johnny at the distance, the three ran a very severe race home, Oldminster winning on the post by a head, a dead heat for second place, Bradfield was a good fourth—the others as placed. _ I The Cleveland Cup of 10 soya each, with 100 added; for three-yr-olds and upwards ; mares and geldings allowed 31b, with maiden and selling allowances; winners extra.

On settling into their places, Coronet took the lead, his immediate attendants being Flirtation, South Lancashire, and Niger, Rock Scorpion bringing up the rear. No change occurred until they went past the stand and made for the back stretch, where Dulcibella took third place, and in this order they entered the straight, where Flirtation beat a retreat at the distance. Dulcibella made her effort, but failed to get up to Coronet, who won by a length and a half ; a neck between the second and third ; Niger was a bad fourth; Redpole and Flirtation next ; Rock Scorpion did not pass the post. The winner was claimed for Mr. Barber, and goes into Palmer's stable, at Hednesford.

Wynnstay came on with the lead to opposite the enclosure, where Kildonan was called upon, and won easily by half a length ; Knutsford was beaten off. After this race a rush was made to back Kildonian for the St. Leger, and 12 fifties to one were taken about him several times.

After a short delay at the post caused by the fractious ness of Duplicity and the unwillingness of Juliet to go near her horses, the flag was lowered, and instantly Bali verne rushed to the front, and made all the running, and won easily by a length, the same separating the second from the third, Tiara finishing a good fourth, only beaten from the third by a neck; Duplicity was pulled up and cantered in last. :bor Handicap.

Lieutenant (now Captain) Nathaniel Burslem, 67th Re giment (now of the 60th Regiment), and Private Thomas Lane, 67th Regiment—For distinguished gallantry in swimming the ditches of the North Taku Fort, and perse vering in attempting during the assautt, and before the entrance of the fort had been effected by any one, to en large an opening in the wall, through which they even tually entered, and, in doing so, were both severely wounded.

The arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market wore rather extensive, and, for the time of the year, the supply of the new samples was large,. For these the de mand ruled steady, at from 56s to 66s per quarter, but old parcels were quite unsaleable, even at a considerable reduc tion in value. The show of foreign wheat was large. Good and fine descriptions fairly supported previous rates; otherwise, the quotations ruled somewhat easier. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at late currencies. _ The trade for barley was dull, at barely late rates. New malting was obtainable at fron 35s to 40s per quarter. In malt very little was doing, on former terms. All kinds of oats were a dull sale, and Russian qualities were quite 6d per quarter cheaper. Beans were scarce, and sold at previous rates. New white peas 40s, and new grey ditto 38s to 4s, per quarter. The flour trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Mr. Bruges Fry, county coroner, opened an in quiry to-day into the circumstances attending the death of Uriah Greenland, aged 24, who was mur dered by his uncle Byard Greenland, as recorded in this paper yesterday. The prisoner was not present, having been re manded yesterday to Shepton Mallet gaol by order of the magistrates. This circumstance occasioned strong comment on the part of the coroner and jury, ) and it was ultimately decided to adjourn the inquiry in order to allow the prisoner to hear the evidence adduced against him. During the examination of Millgrove, P.C. Cooke arrived in theNroom with the important information that the handle of the knife had been found, but the blade was broken and has not yet been found. The knife handle was then put into the hand of the witness, and he said that, although he could not swear it was the one he had seen in the hand of the prisoner, it was very much like it. Mr. Benjamin Malian], surgeon, said, on the morning of Sunday last, at 10 minutes past 12 a.m., I was called up by the last witness, and requested to go to Murtree.gate, as a man had been stabbed. I went immediately and arrived at half-past 12. The deceased was alone in a sitting posture quite dead, but warm. Mr. Gane, the gatekeeper, came up with a lantern, and I then examined the de ceased's breast, and found a wound. Farmer Beauchamp's son came up with a horse and cart. From what I had beard, I asked him to take the horse out of the cart, and proceed to Buckland, and tell the policeman there that a man had been mur dered by Byard Greenland, and to arrest him. 1 sent Millgrove back to Frome for a policeman. When the officer arrived I left the deceased in his charge, and went down to the gate and examined all the scythes and reaphooks with a magnify ing glass, but found nothing but dry dust on any of them. I then had a pair of trucks and a hurdle on which I had the deceased laid and brought to his house. In consequence of a tele graphic message received from the coroner yester day, I made a post-mortem examination of the body at five o'clock, 42 hours after death. I found an incised wound five -eighths of an inch long, on the left side of the chest, between the second and third ribs, an inch and a half from the breast bone. The bag of the heart and the upper portion of the heart, called the aotic arch, were pierced through. This was the cause of the death. The knife passed through soft parts only, so that there was not suffi cient resistance to break the blade from the handle. The only other witness examined was Mr. (lane, the gatekeeper, who repeated the testimony he gave yesterday. The Coroner then adjourned the inquiry till to morrow at ten o'clock, P. C. Watts being instruc ted to communicate to the magistrates the wishes of the Coroner and Jury, that the prisoner should have an opportunity of being present at the investi gation. Diligent search is being made by the police for the blade of the knife. IVIIITECHAPEL. Moderate supplies of meat are on sale, and the trade rules inactive, as follows : Beef from 2s 8d to 40s 2d ; mutton, 3s Od to 4s 8d ; lamb, 4s 8d to 5s 2d ; veal, Vs 6d to 4s 4d ; and pork, 3s 6d to 4s 8d per 81bs. by the carcase. BOROUGH HOP. Our market is dull, and prices have given way 5s to 10s per cwt. A pocket of new hops has come to hand, and has sold at £25 per cwt. The plantation accounts are more favourable, and the duty is estimated at quite £120,000. THE POLICEMEN AND THE ORANGEMEN AT LIVERPOOL .-At the Liverpool Police-court on Monday, In spector Ride, of the Liverpool Police Force, was charged with assaulting Stanley Remelts, master of the Northern District Orange Lodges, in Thurloe, on the 23d of June last. The inspector, it appeared, by order of the ma gistrates, stopped an Orange procession on the day in ques tion, and the alleged assault consisted in putting his hand on the collar of the prosecutor's coat ani asking him if he had anything to do with the procession. The case, after a lengthy hearing, was dismissed, 1221 1; 1 p 112 114 !19-1 197 0 61 112 117 83 86 $1 3}!, 93 95 65 57 151 lei !131 133 118 122 I 1 lip, 88 90 be 91 18.8. all all all all all all all all MINES. 3.2.10 1 1001 131 I t 2 i i i NES. ALARMING ACCIDENT. On Saturday evening an accident which might have been attended with most disastrous results took place at the Gateshead station of the North Eastern Railway. The train which was the subject of the unfortunate occurrence was that from the South, due at Newcastle about half-past 10 o'clock. Being a mail, and it being the practice for it to stop only occasionally at Gateshead, it is supposed that in the present instance it had been intended to put down some passengers at that station, and for this purpose the steam had been slackened at the usual distance from the point of landing. The engine pro ceeded on its regular course until within about 50 yards from the station, when from some cause un explained the fore axietree gave way. Alarming and serious were the consequences which ensued. In the half-shattered state to which it was now re duced it continued on its way, tearing up the rails and chairs as it went. So matters went on until the bridge across Hill -street was reached—a stone struc ture of great strength and at a considerable height from the ground. Adjoining this part of the line, too, is the station, a flat-roofed building, covered with lead, and between five and six feet from the level of the rails. It was now about a quarter to 11 o'clock, the train being nearly 15 minutes behind its specified time. Grazing slightly the wall as it passed along, it rushed violently against the bridge. knocking down a portion of the parapet, the stones falling thick and fast upon the streets beneath. Checked happily in its further progres3 by the lug gage line of rails which intersect the passenger ones, the engine, with equally heavy force, dashed upon the roof of the first-class waiting room, there stick ing fast in a partially inverted position. The shock to the entire building was immense. A chimney on the top was completely demolished, and the weight of the rubbish penetrated to the luggage room on the basement flat of the station. One of the broken wheels fell into the street, and the other shdrtly af terwardefollo wed a similar course. It is some gratifica tion to state that with all this damage to property there has been no sac-ifice of human life. The station master, Mr. Allison, had just gone to call a cab for a gentleman who he expected by the train, and fortunately he escaped without injury. Singu larly enough, also, notwithstanding the severe con cussion which they must have sustained, the car riages, of which there was about a dozen of the first and second class, retained their position on the line; and, indeed, with the exception of the broken por tion, the engine kept its place. At the most perilous moment, the engineman, named Thomas Brown, and the fireman, also stuck to their post; and both got off uninjured. A similar good fortune extended to the passengers, whom, apart from a temporary shake which it occasioned, the accident scarcely affected. Among them was the rector of Gateshead Fell, the Rev. W. Atkinson. The unfortunate engine con sisted of three cylinders, and was built by the late George Stephenson. The engineman of whom it was in charge has been several years in the employment of the company, and has never, we understand, met with an accident before. The affair will doubtless furnish sufficient cause for invest igation .—Netocastle Chronicle. HO.RIVCASTLE GREAT _HORSE FAIR. This great fair, which is one of the most exten sive and important horse marts in this country, was formally commenced on Saturday, resumed yester day and to-day (Tuesday), and will continue open the whole of this week. The show is very large, and comprise a varied description of young horses, many of which are yet "green in harness" and fresh from the plough, but among them were some splen did cattle, developing bone and substance, combined with perfect symmetry, and possessing the essential points for usefulness and the growing requirements of the public, and in every respect fully sustaining the long-acquired reputation that this county (Lin colnshire) is the great horse mine of England. The demand for young horses was steady, and brought remunerative and encouraging figures to colt breeders ; but taking exception to very superior horses, there was a manifest diminution in prices as compared with preceding fairs, and, adopting horsedealing phraseology, " they came a little easier." Subjoined is the average price of horses, without reference to " choice picks" and " special selection"—viz., young thick-set and short-jointed horses for brewers, merchants, and town work, 40 to 50 guineas ; active light-legged cattle, suit a bl e for public conveyance, machine work, carriers, &c., 35 to 45 guineas ; compact neat-going young " horses adapted for pair harness, 55 to 65 guineas ; fine upstanding first-class horses of high fashion realised high figures, and matched pairs made prices rang ing from 140 to 180 guineas, an d i n many instances higher figures were obtained ' • seasoned horses, plain nags, and roadsters ra nge d in price from 20 to 28 guineas. Well-bred young horses for the hunting field made from 95 to 220 guineas, and horses of celebrity, and up to heavy weight, 250 and 400 guineas. Horses for park riding, chargers, and harness horses of hi g h a c tion and fashion fetched prices varying from 120 to 200 guineas. Cart horses, sound and quick walkers, 40 to 55 guineas ; aged and seasoned ditto, 18 to 30 guineas ; cover hacks, cobs, and gailoways, 24 to 35 guineas; com pact made weight-carrying cobs fetched 40 to 50 guineas, and common description of ditto 15 to 20 guineas; ponies, 12 to 24 g uineas, and choiee matched pairs sold well. Colts, two years d old, varied from 16 to 40 guineas. stock sol at prices in accordanc e with pedigree ; brood mares, and ditto in foals or with a colt by their side, made from 40 to 120 guineas, 'and van horses 22 to 35 guineas. The fair was well represented by provin cial and London horsedealers and jobmasters, who were the principal buyers. Among blood stock, amateur colt. breeders and dealers and gentlemen of the hunting field took a deep interest, and specu lated freely; and young horses adapted for the artillery and other military purposes were in good competition, and were bought up by army c on .. tractors and commission agents for home service and foreign and continental exportation. Many valuable strings of horses are destined for London. A letter from Baden, of the 10th, says The King of Prussia is really indisposed, and the cause is easily explained. His Majesty, following the prescriptions of his physicians, is drinking the water of the Ragocgy spring, of Kissingen, which possesses very irritating qualities. The late attempt on his life and the numberless d e p u tations which he has had to receive in consequence, were not pre cisely of a nature to leave his Majesty the calmness and repose which are absolutely necessary for the treatment to produce a good effect." INL:?ND REVENUE. The statistics of taxation are much less popular than they deserve to be, perhaps because the opera tion itself can never ho very palatable. Yet, not only are they, within their own limits, the best practical gauge of national consumption and ex penditure, but they throw a flood of light on the habits and even on tho motives which it is the statesman's business to study. Without sharing Napoleon's love of reading returns, it is quite pos sible to find interest in a financial blue book. Of all the phenomena that depend on human will the fluctuations of revenue are most capable of predic tion. We cannot measure the consequences of a constitutional change, but we can calculate with a very near approach to aecuracy the effect which a producefter allowing a reduction iu a particular duty will , receipts from the Customs or Excise for an increase of consumption as well as for a dimi , nution in smuggling or illicit manufacture. The a: omalies which remain are just enough to sttiminuk late curiosity, and to furnish new material s f or "social science." Whatever taxpayers may h of them, political economists owe much to taxes, I and the illustrations of many of their favourite generalisations have been contributed by the E x _ ciseman or the Custom-house officer. In the archives of the Inland Revenue Department is buried a mass of information which, if rightly understood, would tell a very instructive tale of our past and present position, and smooth the path of financiers, both theoretical and practical, for many a year to come. At first sight we must confess that the Fifth Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue (for 1860.1) seems dull and commonplace. All the taxes that cannot be otherwise classified seems to be thrust into this great miscellaneous category. It contains the usual number of tables, showing the gross and net receipts of revenue under the three great heads of excise, stamps, and taxes, and suggests financial warnings and financial encour agements in proper proportions. Speaking in round numbers, and setting off the decrease in the two items of " excise" (1700,000) and " land and assessed taxes" (£100,000) against the gain of £330,000 by stamp duties and £1,300,000 by the income tax, we find that the income of this multifarious department for 1860-1 will exceed that for 1859-60 by some £BOO,OOO. So far the reult is satisfactory enough, and confirms our faith in the gradual development of our productive powers. The general steadiness, however, of this progress is consistent with great and even startling variations in particular sources of revenue. For instance, the additional imposition of 2s. per gallon on spirits has been followed by a fall in production to the extent of nearly 500,000 gallons, represent ing more than £500,000 of revenue, and this although there is reason to believe that the frauds on the Excise have been less frequent than here tofore. Again, notwithstanding the reduction of the period of credit allowed on the malt duty, a loss of £440,000 has been experienced on this com modity, take the quantity " brought to charge" in 1859-60 as a fair standard. Happily in both these instances the real is less than the apparent falling off, and tolerably satisfactory causes can be as signed for the actual deficiency. It is here that the effect of a good or bad harvest first makes itself felt. The year 1859 was a year of plenty, and the averages were proportionally swollen. When bread is high labourers and artisans cannot afford to spend so much in spirits or beer, nor can a very inferior quality of barley be made to " ger minate," or be converted into malt at all. Both these facts tell on the receipts of the Exchequer, and put in a very clear light the meaning of the statement, so truly yet so loosely repeated, that the nation is so much out of pocket by an un favourable season. In Ireland we are told that the regular effect of the harvest on the spirit trade "is such, that the sales in the five months from August to the end of the year are in ordinary sea sons fully equal to, if not larger than, those in the preceding seven months." The barometer of consumption in England is not so sensitive, yet the revenue has suffered severely by the want of sun shine last year. Then we must take into account the increase of duty. It is well known that there is a point beyond which taxation cannot be carried without defeating itself, and the Commissioners are of opinion that this point has been reached in the present case. These duties have been progressively raised within the last 35 years, in England from 75., and in Scotland and Ireland from 2s. 10d., to 10s., and the result seems to be that retailers are less interprising than they were. Having ac cumulated large stocks in anticipation of this addition, they now exhibit a ten dency to limit their purchases to the wants of the moment, and the Commissioners apprehend a " permanent alteration" in the habits of the trade. The same accidents of weather conspiring with a totally opposite course of legislation, have caused the Hop Duties to dwindle down from £600.000 to £70,000, and obliged the Government to postpone the collection of the arrears for some months after the stipulated time. Another disappointment has been incurred in the scheme for licensing Refresh ment-houses, and those in which wine is retailed. The necessity of proving the establishment to be one of "public resort and entertainment" has practically exempted a very numerous class of shops in which refreshments are sold at very late hours, and the whole duty thus realised does not exceed £6,000. We need not waste regrets over the deficit of £lOO,OOO in the proceeds of the Assessed Taxes, inasmuch as it is more than accounted for by the transfer of Game Certificates from this head to that of "Excise." As for "Stamps," the most marked increase has been, as might be expected, in the stamp duties on " Deeds and other instru ments," on " Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes," on "Receipts and Draughts," on Pro bates," and on " Legacies and Successions,." One item in the same list possesses at the present time a somewhat exceptional interest. It is that of " Fire Insurance, the duties upon which have improved in amount by upwards of £50,000. The Commissioners do not fail to use this as an argument in favour of the duty, and, comparing the increase of insurance in the case of ordinary kinds of property with that in the case of farming stock, which is not subject to the duty, infer broadly that this pretended burden is no burden at all. To reconcile this paradoxical fact with com mon-sense is beyond our skill; but, unless the oppo , cents of the Fire Insurance Duty can find some plausible explanation , they will f _n , d it a very aw k war d weapon in the hands of a Chancellor of the Exchequer. The " Property and Income Tax" appropriately closes the motley catalogue of fiscal resources. It is certainly strange that the only opposition of which the Commissioners complain in the collection of such an impost should be that offered by their own subordinates. Time was when statesmen spoke of all those taxes which can only be levied through an inquisitorial machinery as they would have spoken of the Star Chamber or the dispensing power ; and within living memory the name of " Exciseman" has been as odious in Scotland and. Ireland as that of " Publican" in Judea. That time is past ; we have learned not only to extol Excise as one of the most innocent of taxes, but to submit to an annual inquisition into our very incomes. When quarterly were substituted for half-yearly payments private taxpayers took it without grum bling, and it was reserved for certain " District Commissioners" to resist the central authority. te Government b h ow . much behindhand the tr How pertinaciously were and the y did so, oo ohow coerce powerlessoe them, eare t metropolis still is in its sln come Tax return s by om reason f default, and a h n a d s set us, must be g how good an exam ple punctuality f this Scotland from the report itself.

THE HARVEST.—MaIton, Monday night.—To day a general start has been made in the two Ridings a mong the early crops. Wher e th e cutting has been d on e there are said to be indications of a light yield, the ears being only short, but the gra i n i s in first-rate co ndition. The harvest is likely t o p rove a long one, a s only the early sown crops are yet ripe, but the most produce is looked for from those sown in the spring. The attendance of harvest labourers was exceedingly small on Saturday, but as the crops are not all equally advanced, sufficient hands were obtained, Wales were very brisk, ordinary labourers ob taining from 15s. to 205., and mowers 20s. to 255. per week, with board. The piecework system seems to be gaining' favour, and several lots have been taken to cut, bind, and stook at 6s. 6d. per acre. The recent fine weather in Corn wall has had a most favourable effect upon the cereal crops, and corn harvest has progressed with spirit and vigour dur ing the past few days. The wheat is generally well kerned, and will, it is expected, turn out a good crop. In some places it has been much injured by the strong winds and ra i n . Barley and oats are looking well, but we; regret to say that the potato disease has again appeared, t hough not with such severity as in past years. The weaflo.er on Sun day, Monday, and yesterday was extremely hot in Bssel and the eastern district—indeed, the intense heat which prevailed, though highly favourable for harve et work, now being universally prosecuted, affected the he al th of many persons.
