CONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Very little change is to be noted in the condition of affairs in the Money Market.

The only bullion operation at the Bank yesterday was a withdrawal of 45,000 sovereigns fer exporta tion. About £250,000 in, gold was sent yesterday to Paris, it ie thought for the Bank of France. The Ceylon, which leaves to-lay with the Bom bay mails, will convey £451,100 in specie. There has been less activity iu the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days. Sugar, however, has maintained previous prices, While coffee, tea, fruit, and spices, have shown no Material change as regards values.

INDUSTRIOUS PICK-POCKETS AND PERSEVERING DE• TECTIVES.—CaroIine Holmes and Julia Graham were charged with attempting to pick the pockets of about fifty ladies. Sergeant Edward Langley, of the detective police, said that on the previous afternoon he was standing in the Regent-circus with a brother officer (Coathupe), when he saw Graham place herself on the right-hand side of a lady, the other prisoner standing in front. He then told Coathupe to ask the lady whether she had lost anything, and she said she had not. They then followed the prisoners along Oxford-street into the London Crystal Palace, down Regent street, back into Oxford •street, to the Tottenham court-read, and then again to Oxford-street, where they took the prisoners into custody, having seen them try the pockets of not fewer than fifty ladies. At the station Graham gave as her address a notorious place over the water. Mr. Knox said he was glad to find that the prisoners had made so many unsuccessful attempts, as it showed that the ladies were more careful and the prisoners' business so bad. Edwin Coathupe, of the detective police, corroborated Sergeant Langley, and said that was not known at the address she gave. Mr. Knox said he felt certain that if the prisoners were remanded they would be known to the police, as there was no doubt they were a couple of dangerous pick-pockets. Remanded. A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH HIGHWAY ROI3I3ERY. William Gordon, a private of the Ist battalion of Scots Fusiliers, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following robbery :-- Alfred Capel, a servant at 46, Dover-street, said the pri soner came up to him last night in Arlington-street, and asked him the best way to the Green-park. He showed the prisoner, who immediately said, " What's this ?" and made a snatch at his watch chain, breaking it, and made off to the Green-park. He, however, pursued the prisoner and caused him to be taken into custody, but not till he had had a struggle with him to prevent him getting over the rail ings. Henry Smith, 147 C, deposed to taking the prisoner into custody, and to the prisoner, who had been drinking, hand ing him a piece of chain, which the prosecutor said was his property. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner's sergeant what sort of a character the prisoner bore P the sergeant said it was very good, and he had a good conduct stripe. The prisoner said he had been drinking. Mr. Knox said the prisoner well knew what he was about, and even if he had been drinking it was no excuse. But for the good character the prisoner had received he should have sent him for trial. He shoull commit him for three months' with hard labour. WILFUL DAMAGE.—Mary Heatley was charged with being drunk, and wilfully breaking a pane of glass of the value of £2O, the property of Mr John Martin, bootmaker, 49, Pall-Mall. John Lovelock, foreman to Mr Martin, said the prisoner entered the shop yesterday and asked for Mr Martin, and, on his telling her that he was out, she seized a last or boot and smashed the windows. The prisoner said she had lived with Mr Martin as his wife for 13 years, but he had left her. Mr Martin said the prisoner came twice yesterday after noon to his shop. The first time he pacified her and she left, but the second time she came she broke the window. Mr Knox asked Mr Martin whether he had known the prisoner before, and Mr Martin said ho had, and that she had frequently annoyed him. Prisoner said she was in a passion. Mr Martin said he did not wish the prisoner sent to prison. Mr Knox, after cautioning, the prisoner that whatever had passed between ber and Mr Martin, she must not break his windows, ordered her to enter into her own recognisance, 'WESTMINSTER. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A DRUNKEN FlT. — Johanna Hearne, a middle-aged Irish woman, was charged with attempting suicide by strangulation. James Edwardes, 241 A, said that between 12 and one this morning he was on duty in Queen's-road Edst, Chel sea, when he heard a groan, and proceeding across the road in the direction of the sound, for he could not see owing to the fog, he found this woman hanging to the railings. Mr. Arnold—How do you mean? Witness—She had tied a handkerchief round her neck and then attached it by means of pieces of string and other things to the railings of Chelsea Hospital. She had then thrown her neck back, her head hanging down towards the road, and wouli soon have been strangled had I not come up. I had great trouble in releasing her, and had to tear the handkerchief to pieces before I could get her free. When I got her on her feet I found she was very drunk, and took her to the station, where she made another attempt on her life. Mr. Arnold—She was drunk, you say. Did she make a noise going to the station ? The witness and a police Fergeant intimated that she was very violent both on the way and at the station, where she became so troublesome (attempting to strangle herself again) that it was necessary for the man to sit up in the cell with her all night. Mr. Arnold (to defendant)—What have you to say to this ? The defendant, with an impudent laugh, replied, " Oh I've got nothing to say. I was mad drunk." Mr. Arnold--Well, I shall not deal with you for the attempted suicide, but for being drunk I shall fine you 10s., er send you to prison for seven days. Defendant—Then, I'll do the seven days. • She was locked up. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Jchn Blackburn, aged 39, pleaded guilty to four charges of burglary, and stealing plate and other articles of the value of £3OO or £4OO. Mr. Garforth, an Inspector of the E Division of Police, stated that the prisoner had been a seafaring man, and having selected a row of houses, in the front of which were balconies, he climbed into the balcony of the first house of the row, and walking along, tried the windows of the several houses. In several instances he effected an entrance, ransacked all the drawers in the room, and carried off every valuable article he was able to lay hold on, He had used a small strong screwdriver which was found on him when he was apprehended. He had formerly been steward on board a gentleman's yacht, and came to London in the early part of the year, and soon aftor commenced the depre dations which led to his apprehension. The Common-Sergeant sentenced him to years penal ser vitude. Map of the North Island of New Zealand. Ever alive to the wants of the public Mr. Wyld has just published a very beautiful map of the North Island of New Zealand, showing the boun daries of the disaffected tribes. The chart also em braces the country round Auckland, Wellington, and New Plymouth, and therefore at the present moment it will be found of the greatest service to all readers of the intelligence that arrives from that portion of the globe. Although the map is crowded with almost unpronounceable names, yet it is exe cuted with such clearness and so admirably coloured that any spot required is almost to bbe found in stantaneously. We have to congratulate Mr. Wyk' on the production of this admirable chart. THAMES. Art IRISH Row.—Sarah Welsh, a young Irishwoman, was brought up on a warrant before Mr. Elliott, charged with assaulting Bridget Ford and Mary Ann Cogan, in Henry-street, Back Church-lane, St. George-in-the-East. Mr. Charles Young. solicitor, said that a summons had been obtained against the prisoner, and,she failed to appear to thac process, and a warrant was taken out on which she was apprehended last night. On the morning of Sunday, the 18th instant, at five minutes past 12 o'clock, the pri soner attacked a young woman named Hall, and beat her in a very brutal manner. The complainant Ford, hearing the cries of her sister for help, went down stairs in her night clothes to rescue her sister, and found the prisoner Pulling her about by the hair of her head. The young woman Ford rescued her sister, and the prisoner went into the house No. 30, Henry-street, obtained a decan ter, and struck Bridget Ford a violent blow on the head with it, inflicting a severe lacerated wound, from which the blood flowed very freely. At ten o'clock the same morn ing Cogan was passing along the street when the prisoner again attacked her, tore the sleeve out of her gown, and scratched her face, Several witnesses were examined in support of Mr. Young's statement. One witness said it was a complete bother from twelve to one o'clock. Mr. Gomm, for the defendant, said Bridget Ford was the aggressor, that a general row took place, and that a child eleven weeks old was very severely injured, and was now labouring under concussion of the brain. A general recon ciliation took place on the day the Summons was made re' turnable. All the parties drank together at the Prince of Wales tavern, opposite the court, and the 2s. for the sum mons was paid to the complainant. Several witnesses were ceded for the defatite, who made out there was another row in Ilehry.etreet at half , past 1 o'clock in the morning, after the midnight row was over, that Ford and Cogan were pulling other women about and dragging them about by the hair of their head?. The women fought like savages. The subsequent reconciliation at the Prince of Wales was partially made out. There was bursting of doors, breaking of windows, and severe injuries inflicted on many persons. It transpired that " Patty baby" was nearly killed at half-past 1 o'clock in the morning. The prisoner was the aunt of the baby. Mr. Elliott said the assault on the complainants by the prisoner was made only by her own witnesses, and he was not called upon to decide who was in the wrong when the second transaction took place. He fined the prisoner 20s. for the first assault, and 10s. for the second assault, and the costs. MARKETS—This Day, HAY MARKETS.

WHEEDLING PATERFAMILIAS, AT HIS TOILETTE. —Mrs. Tappitt knew that she had done well, and prepared for his dinner that day a beef-steak pie, made with her own hands. Tappitt was not altogether a dull man, and understood these little signs. Ah,' said he, ' I wonder hO'w much that pie is to cost me r., how can you say such things I As it you didn't have beef-steak pie as often as it's good for you.' The pie, however, had its effect, as also did the exceeding boilishness of the water which was brought in for his gin toddy that night; and it was kaown throughout the establishment that papa was in a good humour, and that mamma had been very clever. The girls must have had new dresses any way before the month was out,' Mrs. Tap pitt said to her husband next morning before ho left the con jugal chamber, Do you mean to say they're to have gowns made on purpose for this party said the brewer; and it seemed by the tone of his voice that the hot gin and water had lost its kindly effects. 'My dear, they must be dressed you know. I'm sure no girls in Baslehurst cost less in the way of finery. In the ordinary way they'd have had new frocks almo-t immediately.' Bother I ' Mr. Tappitt wax shaving just at this moment, and dashed aside his razor for a moment to utter this one word. He intended to signify how perfectly well he was aware that a muslin frock pre pared for an evening party would not fill the place of a substantial morning dress. ' Well, my dear, I'm sure the girls ain't unreasonable ; nor am I. Five and• thirty shillings a-pi,ce for them would do it all. And I shan't want anything myself this year in the month of September.'--Now Mr. Tappitt, who was a man of sentiment, always gave his wife some costly article of raiment on Sept.l, calling her his partridge and his bird, —for on that day they had been married. Mrs. Tappitt had frequently offered to intromit the ceremony when calling upon his generosity for other purposes, but the September gift had always been forthcoming. Will thirty five shillings apiece do it ?' said he, turning round with his face all covered with lather. Then again he went to work with hie razor just under his right ear—' Well, yes; I think it will. Two pounds each for the three shall do it any way Mr. Tappitt gave a little jump at this increased demand for fifteen shillings, and not being in a good position for jump ing, encountered an unpleasant accident, and uttered a somewhat vehement exclamation. ' There,' said he, now I've cut myself, and it's your fault. Oh dear, oh dear I When I cut myself there it never stops. It's no good doing that, Margaret; it only makes me worse. There, now you've got the soap and blood all down inside my shirt.' "—An thony 7roloppe's " Rachel Ray," EXECUTION OF A SPY.--Spencer Konogg, the spy, has just been executed in the presence of a vast crowd of people. While seated in the " hack " waiting the perfecting of the arrangements he conversed with the utmost nonchalance with Dr. Burrows, frequently smiling at some remark made either by himself or the minister. Arriving under the gallows, the condemned man, unaccompanied, mounted the scoff,ld. In a few moments Detective Cape hart followed, and commenced to adjust the rope over the neck of the criminal, in which he assisted, all the while talk ing with the officer. On taking off his hat to admit the noose over his head he threw it on one side, and, falling off the scaffold, it struck a gentleman beneath, when the prisoner turned quickly, and bowin g said Excuse me, Sir," A negro came on the scaffold with a ladder and proceeded to fasten the rope to the upper beam, the prisoner meanwhile regarding him with the greatest composure. The rope being fastened, the negro was in the act of coming down, when the prisoner, looking at the rope ; remarked :—" Ihis won't break my neck ; tisn't more than a foot fall. Doctor, I wish you would come up and arrange this thing. I don't want to have a botch job of it I" The rope was then re arranged to his satisfaction, and th e cloth cap placed over his head. The condemned man then bowed his head and engaged a few seconds in prayer, at the conclusion of which he raised himself, and standing perfectly erect, pronounced in a clear voice, "All ready It , The drop fell, and the con demned man was launched into eternity. He struggled violently for about a second, the rope swaying to and fro like the pendulum of a clock. He had confessed his guilt. He had hired himself in the Confederate Engineer Corps at Island No. 10 for the purpose of gaining information for the benefit of the Federal Government, and he died with the conviction that he had furnished more valuable infor mation, in the character of a spy, to that Government, than any other 10 men in the United States' service.—Rich mond Inquirer. FOOTBALL—Last evening u meeting of the cap tains or other representatives of the foutball clubs of the metropolis was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Mr. Pou.ber, N. N. Kilburn Club, having been voted to the chair, o b serve d that the adoption of a certain set and ofrules by all football players was greatly to be desired, said that th e m ee ti ng had been called to carry th at object into effect as far as practicable. Mr. E. C. Morley (Barnes) moved, and Mr. Mackenzie (Forest Club, L e ytonstone) seco n d e d , the fol lowing resolution :—" That it is advisable that a football association should be formed for the purpose of settling a code of rules for the regulation of the game of foot ball." Mr. B. F. Hartshorne said that though he felt it was most desirable that a definite set of rules for football should be generally adopted, yet, as th e repre sentative of the Charterhouse School, he could not pledge himself to any course of acti on with a o t ut r s . eet o ng ; m th o e re p c a le r a t rl o y what other schools would do in the natter. f the Charterhouse he would willingly coalesce if othe r public schools would do the same. peo.ba.oblY,a the generality advanced stage of the association, the o pinion of t o btained, Th chairman e of the great schools would 1 1 b , el h a ve a beginnin g , an d they would be very happy to said every association must eve the co-operation of the ‘ last speaker at a future meeting' the formation of the was elected as follows : Mr. A, Pember, President; carried, The officers were elected E. association The resolution for iationthen put and C.

FA ROQUET.—Ono of th e A NEW SPECIES OF. ition has been na me d birds discovered during Stuart, s e n x p r e a d t in honour of th e by Mr. Gould Polytclis Al esad Princess of Wales, OF THE FIRM OF LON G MAN BROWN, A IkIEIVBER placing a stained glass MAN AND CO, has given £ l , OOO for window in St, Paul's Cd.thetirah Music Hall, Store-Street. Last evening a ♦ery excellent concert was given at the Music Hall, Store-street, Bedford-square, in aid of the new Italian Church, Hatton-wall. We believe nearly the whole of the artistes, amongst whom were Miss Poole, Miss Hersee, Madame Andrea, Miss Lctllsr, Miss Ward, and Mr. Swift, gave their gratuitous services, and with such talent at com mand, it was no wonder the programme was highly attrac tive. The concert commenced with the performance of a grand march by the Italian band, and this was succeeded by the charming glee, " Here in cool grot," by Miss Hersee, Miss 'Allier, Mr. Swift, and M. Do Fontanier. Madame Andrea gave Sloper's scene " Joan of Arc in prison" with great effect; there was a depth of feeling and pathos throughout the rendering that produced the most marked effect, and elicited universal applause. This lady also gave us a pretty little song, "My dear Irish boy," with the utmost sweetness, and from the applause that followed, it may be !reckoned as ono of the gems of the concert. Our queen of ballad singers, Miss Poole, delighted the audience with her quaint old ditties, " The Bailiff's Daugh ter" and "Barney O'Hea ;" and Miss Leffler also made a great impression by the admirable manner in which she sang " Savourneen Deelish." " The Death of Nelson" was well given by Mr. Swift, and Miss E. Ward is entitled to great praise for the admirable manner in which she played her two solos on the pianoforte. There were various other pieces of music performed both vocal and instrumental, but space prevents us noticing them further than by saying they were all well executed, and elicited great applause. Signor Randegger and Mr. Osborne Williams were the conductors of the concert, and it is but justice to say that they performed their duties to the entire satisfaction of per haps one of the most crowded audiences that ever assembled in the Store-street Music Hall. Despatch of Earl Russell to the Federal Diet. The following is a re-translation of the official German text of Earl Russell's second note to Sir Alexander Mallet Sir, —You will be good enough to represent to the Pre sident of the Federal Diet that her Majesty's Government have reason to believe that the answer which Denmark will give the Diet will show her willingness to modify the patent of the 30th March in the sense of the resolution of the Federal Diet of March, 1860; that is to say, by making the patent in question provisional until the definite position of Holstein with regard to Germany has been settled. In this manner the Estates of Holstein will retain their consti tutional privileges, as recognised by the royal patent. But should this take place, Denmark hopes to obtain an ad journment of the Federal execution. " You will represent to the President of the Federal Diet, that Federal execution, even supposing it to remain strictly limited to Holstein, could not to ke place without increasing already existing difficulties. It is very likely that the Danish Government would make reprisal and institute a blockade vety injurious to German commerce. Such measures would cause as much bitterness in Ger many as would the Federal execution in Denmark. The dispute would then become embittered, claims for damages would arise on both sides, and new difficulties stand in the way of a peaceful settlement. Should the war then extend to Schleswig and Jutland it would have to be remembered that Austria and Prussia,as well as Great Britain and France, are bound by the treaty of 1852 to respect the integrity and independence of Denmark. This obligation would of course be fulfilled, but might bring about fresh complications at Frankfort. " Her Majesty's Government full recogcises the claims of the Diet in Holstein and Lauenb urg, but is of opinion that if the demands of the Diet were limited to the German Duchies, they m ight be satisfied without Federal execution, and without exposure to the dangers attendant upon such an extreme measure. "You are requested to give a copy of this despatch to the President of the Federal Diet." INCREASE OFBENETOLENTSOCIETIES,—Another additio❑ has been made to these useful institutions by the establishment of an Auctioneers' Benevolent Fund, to assist those who, from want of success, or adverse in fluences, have become reduced in circumstances. At a recent meeting held at the auction mart of the most in fluential of the London firms, resolutions were agreed to and a fund forthwith raised, amounting to £551 55., and annual subscriptions of £9O 16s. 61.. towards this deserving project. It is somewhat strange, whilst almost every other profession or trade is represented in the numerous chari table societies of the metropolis, such a body as the London auctioneers should have been content hitherto to leave to personal benevolence that aid which is much more readily administered by a society. The result of this meeting was so satisfactory that there is every promise of a great success to this benevolent object. AN ATROCIOUS YoUNGGRIMINAL.—On Saturday, at the Wigan police-office, William Metchinson, a powerfully built lad of 16, was brought before Mr. J. Meek charged with no less than three diabolical outrages, anti attempted outrages upon women. From the statement made to the magistrate it appeared that on the previous Monday a Mrs. Cunliffe, the wife of a farmer residing in the borough of Wigan, was passing through the Haigh plantations when she was followed by the prisoner, who attempted to assault her, but she escaped from him and took refuge in a house a short distance away. On the day following a young woman of 2.5, named M‘Whinney, was passing the fishpond in the plantation when the prisoner ap proached her, and, throwing her to the ground, attempted to violate her. She struggled with him some time, and at length succeeded in extricating herself from his clutches. Intormation of these attacks having been given to the police they were, of course, on the look-out, but nothing was seen of the prisoner till Friday, when a person answering his description was noticed by a son of Mrs. Cunliffe, and followed into Wigan, and there apprehended by a police constable. Ho was taken to the station and there identified by the woman. While this was going on in the office, another woman appeared to prefer a more serious charge— one of rape --which had been committed on a short time previously, also in the Haigh-park, and on being placed before several young men, among whom was Metchinson, she at once identified him as the offender. The name of the complainant was Costellow. She resided at Gathuret, and was aged about 20. She stated that, hearing a gentleman in Haigh wanted a servant, she was proceeding to his house through the park, when she saw Metehinson, and asked him the way. He proffered to show her; but, instead of taking her to the place, he led her to a deserted part of the planta tion, and there endeavoured to violate her. She struggled some time, and screamed for help, when the young mis creant, drawing a knife from his pocket, threatened to stab her, and then, while fearful of murder and exhausted with her struggles, he effected his purpose. Afterwards he searched the pockets of his victim, and robbed her of 6d. in copper—all the money she possessed. The spot where this occurred was pointed out to the police, aad it was found to be near a group of almshouses, the inmates of which, it was learnt on inquiry, had heard the screams of the complainant. Having also heard of the previous assault, the old people were in great terror till they knew that the young criminal was in custody. As the offences wore committed in Haigh the prisoner was handed over to the county police. We learn that he has only just left gaol, where he had been imprisoned for a similar crime.—. Liverpool ACCIDENT ON THE HEREFORD AND NEWPORT SECTION OF THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.-- On Friday afternoon, as a London and North- Western train was proceeding as usual from Hereford to Newport from some cause it left the rails between the Train Inn and St. Devereux stations, but happily without any personal injury, except the breaking of the guard's van. As soon as Mr. Brown, the guard in charge of the train, felt that something was wrong, he went to apply his break, but whilst in the act, a large coupling chain, BUS' pended from a part of the van, struck him as it signing to and fro with the movements of the van on the rough road, and broke it. Although of course the whole of the Pas sengers were violently shaken, none of them, fortunately. sustained any serious injury. The traffic was impeded for several hours, but a large posse of labourers eleatrairen d the line in time for the passing of the last passenge r from Worcester to N ewport•— Bi rm i ng has rest. AN AGED CLERGYMAN.—The Re' Jose p h Stephenson, who is supposed to have been last he oldestweek. member of th e U n i versity of Cambridge, died He three as educated at St. John's Collez e, and graduated. in 1791, years previously to the late Lord Lyndhurst, In 1802 he was presented to the rectory of Selworthy, near Minehead, Somerset, an d held it up to the da y of hie, death. The benefi ce , which is worth £340 a year, is in the gift of Sir T. 1), Acland. THE BUDGET OF TURNEY.—A long balance-sheet of the finances of the Turkish Empire has been publish e d. The sources of revenue are divided into five elltses, viz. : 1, direct taxes; 2, indirect taxes ; 3, postal service, crown lands, and the profits of Imperial Printing office; 4, rent of Government farms, salt monopoly, mines, tal Moldavian, °n l an se d sales, f ao , r sce s e t & ;5, Egyptian, Wallachian, tribute, The expenditure is dis tributed under the heads of foreign debt , home d e bt, and s cost of administration. The result is as follows :—'Total receipts, 3,010,539 purses, 335 piastres, equal to .C 13.681,271. Total expenditure, 2,969,001 purses, 492 piastres, equal to £13,495,477.

Time was when the Houghton was considered to be the finale of the season. Horses were " turned up," jockeys had rest from their labours until the Craven Meeting, and the curtain was supposed to have descended on the racing exhibitions of the year. Bat, although this is still in some measure the case, the rule no longer holds. Towns unre cognised by our grandfathers as centres of racing now pro long the season with autumnal gatherings, and Worcester, Liverpool, Shrewsbury, and others of lesser note put forth attractive bills of fare, and, by ingeniously dovetailing a little steeplechasing with the more legitimate features of the sport, contrive to keep the great desideratum of the present day—speculation—alive, and help the industrious speculators over the dull season of winter. How far this extension of the season is productive of good to the Turf is not our province here to inquire. We only record the fact. The train from Shoreditch on Sunday afternoon was not so crowded as we have seen it; but Newmarket looked full and bustling, and a brilliant wind-up is evidently expected, to which the glorious weather will in no small degree con tribute. To-day there was nothing of any great interest in the eight events on the card, with the exception of the Cambridgeshire Trial Handicap, as the £•5O Plate for 3-yr olds and upwards is teemed, and the Criterion. The issue of the former is generally supposed to throw some light on the great event, and this year the easy victory of Stock_ finger may probably have an influence on the position in the betting of his stable companion, Bathilde. Considered a very moderate horse, ho managed with his light impost of 6st 101 b to breast the trying hill, and came in a winner in a common canter, the two top weights, Twilight and Aure lian, beihg respectively second and third. The Maiden Plate for 2-yr-olds was an easy thing for Rothschild, the lot behind him being but an indifferent one, and in the Selling Handicap Lady Derby disposed of her horses with out much difficulty. The morning had been foggy, but the sun dispersed the thick atmosphere soon after the races commenced. Just before the start for the Criterion, however, it came on denser than ever, and Admiral Rous, after consulting with his brother stewards, postponed this interesting tvro•yr-old coatest until to-morrow, when the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and suite are expected to honour the course with their presence.

As near as we could make out from inquiries made of the riders (the heavy fog that enveloped the heath rendering it impossible to distinguish either horse or rider 100 yards from the stand), Lady Louisa, in company with Sweet Willie, Liston, Revolver, and the favourite, made play to the site of the Old Duke's Stand, where Stockinger ran through his horses and came on with a clear lead, Sweet Willie lying next, with Twilight and Tornado side by side in the centre, and Aurelian and Disappointment, on the upper ground, next. They ran thus to the brow of the hill, where Stockinger quitted his horses without an effort, and won in a canter by three lengths, Aurelian defeating Twilight by a length for second. Touch-and-go was fourth, close up, Queen of Trumps fifth, Gorse sixth, Tor nado seventh, Sweet Willie eighth, and Vivid next.

They ran thus into the Abingdon mile bottom, where the latter closed up, and on rising the hill obtained a slight advantage w hi c h he held to the end, and won a fine race by a length, three quarters of a length separating the second and third, Buckland was fourth, beaten a head; Beloochee was fifth, and Balderdash sixth.

At the Ashbourn (Derbyshire) Petty Sessions, on Satur day last, before Sir Wm. Fitzhubert, Bart., Hon. E. W. K. Coke, Mr. F. Wright, and other magistrates, a most ex traordinary charge was preferred against Mr. James Clif ford, of Shardlow, for that he, the said James Clifford, of Broughton House, Shardlow, in the county of Derby, gen tleman, in and about the year 1804, at the parish church of Longford, did feloniously steal, take, and carry away one leaf from the parish register of the parish of Longford, con taining thereon the entry of the baptism of William, son of Mary Tatlow, of Bentley, dated Bth November, 1827, tho goods and chattels of the then incumbent and churchwardens of the said parish of Longford, against the peace of the late King George 111., his crown and dignity. Mr. Clifford is a gentleman of independent means, having with others be come possessed of a large fortune, amounting to £40,000. The case, from its extraordinary nature, excited great into.. rest. Mr. Quarles, solicitor, Nottingham, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Bristowe, barrister, instructed by Mr. Whiston, solicitor, Derby, fur the defence, Mr. Clifford sat beside his solicitor in court. Mr. Quarles addressed the bench at considerable length, and called the following important evidence:—James Lipscomb, parish clerk of Longford, said —I produce the register book of births, deaths, and bap tisms for the parish of Longford. The entries in it are front 1538 to 1812. There is a leaf extracted containing a register of baptisms from the year 1724 to 1729. Mr. Quarles here put in a duplicate copy of the Longford registry obtained from the court at Lichfield. In it was the entry of the bap tism of William, son of Mary Tatlow, on Nov. 8, 1727. When the Archdeacon of Derby made his visitation, dupli cates of all registers were handed to him, and thus they were enabled to obtain a copy of the original that was stolen from Longford Church.--Wm. E wart of Derby,out of busi ness, said—l knew the late Mr. Thos. Sutton, of Shard low, and have seen him write his name. The certificate pro duced is in the handwriting of Thos. Sutton. I saw him sign it. I was the attesting witness. I lodged with him at the time." The certificate ran as follows :—" I hereby cer tify that James Clifford, at the request of my brother, James Sutton, of Shardlow, Derbyshire, did about, or in the year ISOS, search the registry of Longford, Derby, for the bap tism of my late uncle, Wm. Tatlow, which he found there duly registered, and in my presence extracted the leaf con taining tne same from the book. After obtaining this docu ment ho, in company with the late James Minton, of Shard low, conveyed it to my late brother in London, making claim for the parties interested to the property left unto them by Wm. Tatlow. Witness my hand this 19th day of August, 1837, THOMAS SUTTON. Witness of the signa ture of Thomas Sutton.—WlLLitm EWART." John Brassington said—ln 1816 I was 18 years of age, I knew Elizabeth Swindell. She was daughter of Thomas and Mary Swindell. In 1816 I accompanied Elizabeth. Swindell to James Sutton's, Broughton House, Shardlow. We were shown into the hall. There was a mail-coach at the door. Mr. Clifford and Mrs. Sutton were there. I said to Clifford, " Are you Mr, Clifford ?" He said, " I am." I said, " You are the man that went to Longford Church to obtain the register of Wm. Tatlow, which register you and Mr. Minton took to London the next day in order that Mr. Sutton might prove his relationship." My remark caused great consternation to Mr. Clifford, and he sank down in a chair, and Mrs. Sutton was so alarmed that she did not speak for a minute or two. Thomas Bowen said—l am a bobbin-netter. I live at Derby..ln 1851 I went to Shardlow along with Mr Gaskill and Mr, Hill. We went to Mr. Sutton's, Shardlow Hall, and afterwards called at Mr. Clifford's, Broughton House. I asked Mr. Clifford whether he went with Mr. Sutton to find Wm. Tatlow's register. Ho answered, "We went to Cubley, but I could not find it." I said, " You are the gen tleman that cut the leaf out." He replied, "It was a trick of youth," and asked us to have something to drink. Mr. Clifford also added that Mr. Sutton, of Shardlow Hall, was a nice gentleman, that he had done a deal of good in the village, had given the ground for the church, and had also got up a bazaar for the church clock. The Hon. E. Coke—What Mr. Sutton do you refer to ? Witness—The present Mr. Jas. Sutton, of Shardlow Hall, Wm. Gaskill, coal agent, Belper, corroborated last wit ness. Heard Bowen say to Mr. Clifford "You are the gen tleman that cut the leaf out of the registsr," to which ha replied "I did, it was only a trick of youth." Anthony Stone—l live at Derby. I saw Mr. Clifford at Shardlow about a year ago. John Brassington was with me, and he said to Mr. Clifford, " Mr Clifford, did you not go to Longford to cut a leaf out of the book ?" He replied "No, I did not ; I only went to Cubley." Mr. Brassington then said "You went forward to Longford." Mr. Clifford made no reply and walked into his office. Mr. Bristowe made an able defence to the bench. Mr. Wright said—lt is my duty, as chairman of the bench, to give our decision ; and, in the first place, I must say that it has been very painful to us to hear the case, involving a:s it does so much on both sides. We feel, however. that the evidence has been straightforward, and that there has beers no attempt to upset it, and although it was a long time ago we cannot help feeling that a leaf was extracted from flys Longford register. From the evidence before us, Mr. Clifford was the person who extracted it, and ace commit him for that offence. We will take bail, Mr. Clifford in £5OO, an two others in £250 each. The decision caused the greatest excitement in court, Mr, Clifford and his solicitor being taken quite aback at it. The bail was entered into, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute.
