SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. enlightened as to use the popular language of our Irish neighbours, who talk of "carrying agitation into the Queen's Bench." And certainly, even with their example before us, and with all the knowledge of legal politics which they have been of late imparting to us, carrying agitation into the jury -room is still a novelty on this side the Channel. The calling of the jury being got over, the traversers made one further attempt to gain time by chal lenging the array on the ground of the omissions in the list, the consideration of which had occupied the Court on the previous Friday. By the application one further day was gained, but no further advantage, as the Court decided that the Attorney-General's demurrer to the challenge should be allowed, Mr. Justice Perrin being again " under the disadvantage of not concurring with his brethren." As to the ridiculous proceedings of the por tion of the corporation of Dublin, which masqueraded through the streets on Monday morning, in attend ance upon Mr. O'Connell, they are only to be taken in the same way as Mr. Ford's declaration—as so many proofs of the truth of Roman Catholic professions of neutrality, and must have been, no doubt, gratifying to those who saw so little harm in handing over to Mr. O'Connell, and his followers, the Protestant corpora tions of Ireland. Lord Northwick has sufficiently recovered from his late serious indispositiou, to be able to resume his aoeustomeil exercise, and personally to return the visits of his many anxious friends.

STEEPLE CHASE NEAR 13RIGIITON. , --A steeple ellsst, which excited great interest in the sporting world of Brighten, took place on Monday near the northern entrance to the Clay ton tunnel on the London and Brighton Railway. The match originated out of an after-dinner conversation between Sir Arthur Chichester and Captain Bustle (of the 7th Ilussari) as to the comparative merits of their hunters, and bets to a considerable amount were made on the event. The principal points of attraction were the passage of a gate at the start, and a double fence near the close of the race. Sir Arthur Chiches ter's horse refused the gate several times, and went over the fence in a bungling manner ; while Captain Bushe took both in good style, and beat his opponent by about half-a-dozen N ATIONAL LOIN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE OCIET FOX iSRANVING LIFE ASSURANCES DEF I ?.RRED ANNUITIES, &c.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.- - A HINT ron Before the Court proceeded to business on Saturday morning, the Lord Chief Justice Clerk stated, that he had been informed that money had been received for admission to the Court by the door-keepers, and that a gentleman on the preceding day had been refused admission because he would net pay for it. His Lordship strongly deprecated the practice of demanding or taking money for admittance into an open Court ; and inti mated his determination to visit with punishment any door keeper who should be fund guilty of doing so.—.Edpsburgh Journal. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—If the Anti-Corn-law Leaguers are not always tolerant of those who do not go all lengths with them, the Corn-law Leaguers are lustily following their example, at the expense of the Ministry. In fact the Government will have two cereal combinations on its back, instead of one. Out of the alligator jaws (de picted by H. B.) of the Anti-Corn-law League, the luckless Sir Robert sinks in the boa-constrictor gripe of the landed protectionists. The chairman of the Suffolk Leaguers thus denounces the policy of the present Go vernment, as having betrayed the constituency to whom it owed its effective majority : " They were well aware that at the last general election the majority expected by the friends of the present Government was 20, or thereabouts. By the exertions of the yeomanry and of the agricultural interests generally, a majority of 100 was secured.—( Hear.) Yet what was the result ? In the very first session after the present Government were placed in power Sir Robert Peel brought in his Corn Bill, which les sened the protection given to the agricultural interests.— ( Loud cries of Hear. )" One of the spokesmen of the Surrey Leaguers cha racterises, as follows, the wisdom of the country gen tlemen, and charges the Minister of their choice with a highly flattering aptness to being frightened : " When they saw an unconstitutional body coming forward, and exercising such a powerful influence against them, as was exercised by the ' Cotton Lords,' as they were termed, it would hardly be supposed that the lords of the soil, who, although they might be pos sessed of vast qnantities of land, still had very little wisdom, would have come forward to assist that body in their attacks upon the agricultural interest. Such, however, was the case ; persons in high station, wha ought to have supported them, had, for political purposes, turned their backs upon them, and gave their support to those who desired to destroy them.— ( Hear.) This being so, it was high time for them to come forward themselves in support of that interest, which was not only attacked by the Anti-Corn-law League, , but also by those who ought have been amongst its chief supporters—(Cheers)—but who, on the contrary, had of late thought fit to second the endeavours of its mast determined opponents.—( Hear, hear.) He did not wish to enter into a political discussion, but he must say that the agriculturists, by their apathy, had allowed the Government to make concessions, which, if they had exerted themselves, he was quite sure would never have been male ; and he called upon them now to resist the endeavours of the Anti-Corn-law League to frighten their friends into further concessions." But perhaps the most unkindest cut of all was that of Lord Henniker at the Suffolk meeting:— " The arguments used by the anti-corn-law advocates to prove that the free importation of foreign corn would produce no disarrangement in the agriculture of England, reminded him of an anecdote. It was once asserted by some very grave philosophers, that if an eel were put into a vessel filled with water to the brim, the vessel would not overflow, as none of the water would be displaced. Well, a tub was brought, and it was filled in the presence of the philosophers. A country gentle man, one of the stupid country gentlemen, as they were called, however, told them to take care lest the eel should splash them. —( Laughter.) He was disbelieved ; the eel was put in, and it was soon found that it splashed the water about in all direc tions. Now he warned the agriculturists that, if free trade were adopted, they would get splashed in like manner." This variation of the old story of Charles the Second and the Royal Society is most maliciously calculated to illustrate the result of putting in Peel. We beg, how ever, to make one slight variation more ; and the parallel will be complete. In the modern Eel or Peel instance, it was not the " grave philosophers " who asserted that, if the Eel, or Peel, were put in, the vessel would not overflow—" no disarrangement would be produced in the agriculture of England." The grave philosophers predicted precisely the contrary. We ourselves, who have sometimes ironically been said to cul tivate the philosophical, emphatically warned " the stupid country gentlemen," that the Eel, or Peel, would " splash them." It was those same " stupid country gentlemen," whom Lord Henniker drags in, head and shoulders, that were bent on trying the un philosophical experiment of a Peel Government. Accordingly the Eel, or Peel, was put in, and " the water was splashed about in all directions." It was impossible to furnish a happier illustration of the slippery champion chosen by the country gentlemen ; or one which came more infelicitously, or more in sidiously, from the lips of a senator, who took some pains to declare that he wished to support Government to the utmost of his power. The landed, as well as the manufacturing League seem to repose their hopes in Sir Robert Peel's squeezableness. Between them he will most assuredly have the peine et forte dare to un dergo. " It was desirable," said a speaker at the Suffolk meeting, " that Sir Robert Peel should know, and that , it should go forth through the land, that the yeomanry were ready to support the laws and the institutions of the State, and that they were not content to allow themselves and their children to be injured to enrich Mr. Cobden." We never heard that Mr. Cobden had devised any artificial legislation to injure anybody ; or any series of measures with regard to a great article of commerce, each successive one of which has produced disappointment to every interest consulted, or not con sulted. But what we are most edified by in these Landed League proceedings is the sudden adoption of the " unconstitutional" modes of action of the Anti- Corn-law League. Lord Rendlesham said at the Suf folk meeting, " They were not to rest satisfied with petitions only. They should come forward with sub scriptions, and if the League raised 100,0001. they ought to raise 200,000/.—(Vehement cheers)—and thus con vince the world that though the League be a great fact,' the agricultural interest was still a greater fact." At the same meeting Mr. Gross said, that as tenant farmers, they would tell their enemies that they were ready for the fight. They would stand in the breach, and nail their colours to the mast.—(Hear, hear.) How was it possible for the farmers of Suffolk to compete with the farmers of Poland ? There is a beautiful mixture of metaphor and interrogation here. To " stand in the breach," and " nail their colours to the mast," are each gallant operations ; though they are not commonly con sidered capable of being performed at the same time and place. However, as Sir R. Peel's Constrictionists mean to raise 200,0001. for the League's 100,0001., it is possible that they can do two things at once,in all manner of ways. It ap pears, however, that, though they can stand in a breach, and nail colours to a mast, each of which are deeds of des perate daring—one of which seems enough at a time— there is another thing which they can not do ; or, at least, Mr. Gross pathetically asks, How can they 7 " How was it possible for the farmers of Suffolk to compete with the farmers of Poland ?" Why per haps not, while they are standing in breaches, and nailing their colours to the mast. Suppose they tried a less showy process—viz., putting their shoulders to the wheel ! A correspondent of last evening's Standard actually founds a plea for protection on the fact that the farmers won't put their shoulders to the wheel, and adopt even tried improvements ! Others might derive from his observations, which seem those of a practical farmer, the strongest possible argument for stimulating improvement by competition. But " how are they to compete ?"--they can "stand in the breach," and " nail colours to the mast"—but " compete" they cannot. " She didn't mind death, but she couldn't bear pinching." STANDARD.—One of the most common complaints of the Anti-English party in Ireland is, that Parliament, in legislating for the empire, does not study the character nor endeavour to suit " the genius" of the Irish people. What this much-talked-of genius happens to be, it is very difficult to discover, as it has remained hitherto unsuited by every attempt of Par liaments, native or Saxon, but most of all by the com mon law of England, as far as respects trial by jury. The proceedings which took place on Monday in Dub lin, at the commencement of the trial of Daniel O'Connell and his fellow-agitators, present still further proof of this fact, if after the previous trans actions in the case, such proof were at all required. When every pretext for delay which the notorious in genuity of Mr. Pierce Mahony could devise, or the plen tiful affidavits of the traversers' partisans support, had been exhausted, Mr. O'Connell and his friends were at length brought to bay by the Attorney-General upon Monday morning. To imagine, however, that the calling over of the jury would have gone off in decent gravity, and the Attorney-General have been allowed to open the case for the Crown, according to the practice of the matter of-fact and un-Mercurial Saxons, had been to do the agents for the traversers, the greatest injustice. On the contrary, no sooner had the counsel taken their places than Mr. Ford's grievance-discriminating eye marked a piece of negligence on the part of the under sheriffs' lowest official, and with becoming solemnity " moved the Court " to place the chair for the witnesses a little to one side ; a motion which, to do the audience justice, they receive with laughter, and which was granted by the Court without the customary dissent of Mr. Justice Perrin. This important mutter being disposed of, Mr. Ford proceeded to give an unmistakeable proof of the sincerity of his desire, and that of the party which he represents, to have a jury without any political bias whatever, and of the value which they attach to the oath of jurors, that they will be guided by evidence alone. A Mr. Benjamin Eaton, one of the special jury panel, sharing, it seems, in the general and not unreasonable desire of avoiding a service of many days upon the trials, claimed exemp tion upon the ground of ill-health, to which Mr. Ford, with much candour, replied that it was quite impos sible for the traversers "to lose the chance " afforded them by Mr. Eaton's being upon the jury. This plain and candid reference to hopes grounded upon the chance of the political feelings of a juror was made, the reader will remark, by the representative of a party which has been vapouring about the integrity of trial by jury, as though the entire weight of saving the Constitution had devolved upon them. Amongst Irish patriots, however, there is always to be found in acts a wholesome commentary upon professions. The historical indignation of Mr. Wyse, the well-worn rhetoric of Mr. Sheil, the poetical fervour of Mr. Thomas Steele, and even the familiar-faced jokes and periods of Mr, O'Connell himself, are less va luable as a test of sincerity than the eager refusal of Mr. Ford to " lose the chance" of retaining Mr. Eaton. Such incidents as these seem ex tremely odd to those who are accustomed to believe that the spirit of the English law is right in supposing jurors to decide by the evidence that is laid before them, and by that alone. We are not yet so By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 i per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 103 : d. per ounce for standard gold,_ gives an exchange of 13 10:i; and the exchange at Ilamburgh on London at short being 13 11, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in London than in Ifamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.58 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. The annual meeting of the Proprietors of the St. Ka tharine Dock Company took place today, at the Dock house, Tower-hill, and it appeared from the accounts and statement then made, that the credit balance brought forward on the Ist of January, 1843, was 121,1841. 19s. 9d., while the like balance brought forward on the Ist inst. was 112,9111. 18s. sd. It therefore shows that the nett earnings during the past year have been less than in the preceding year, although by the official returns it seemed that the business transacted in the docks during the year, as regarded goods and shipping, had, upon the whole, increased, when compared with 1842. Mr. Took, the chairman, stated that the decrease in the amount of earnings was therefore not attributable to a diminution in the extent of business, but arose from the circumstance of the description of articles landed having been of a less costly character, and the rates, conse quently, not so productive. The Directors, therefore, upon mature consideration, determined to recommend the declaration of the usual dividend of 21 per cent. for the half-year ending the 31st december, the amount of income-tax to be defrayed by the Company. DEATH FROM THE KICK OF A HORSE.—An inquest was on Tuesday hold by Mr. Higgs, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, at the Feathers, Dean-street, on the body of William Hart, aged 43. From the evidence it ap peared that the deceased, who was a confirmed drunkard, was occasionally employed as the driver of a hackney coach by Mr. Welch, hackneyman, Gloucester-terrace, Vauxhall-bridge-road, and it had been known that the horses, having — more sense that their besotted driver, had frequently brought the coach home to the stables with the deceased sitting on the box insensibly drunk. On Friday morning last about eleven o'clock he went out with the vehicle, and returned home about two o'clock on the following morning, and some hours afterwards was discovered lying in a stall, when he begged to be let alone, but made no complaint. lle had half a pint of warm beer, and remained there till six o'clock in the evening, when bein g told that he must get up, he said his mare had kicked him. lie was consequently re moved to the Westminster Hospital, where it was found that several of his ribs were fractured, and ho remained in a state of collapse till about ten o'clock on Sunday night, when he expired, the immediate cause of death, no doubt, being eepression, arising from his exposure to the cold so long after sustaining the injury. Verdict, " Ac cidental death." INQUESTS IN CASES OP SUDDEN DEATH.---At the conclusion of an inquest held on Tuesday before Mr. Higge, Deputy-Coroner for Westminster, the foreman of the jury, addressing the Coroner, wished to know if he was not going to hold an inquest upon the body of Mr. Stephenson, the vestry clerk of St. Margaret's parish, who had on the pre vious day suddenly dropped down dead in the vestry, while in the act of handing round the book containing the minutes of that body for their signatures? The Coroner, in reply, said he certainly had heard of the circumstances attending Mr. Stephenson's death, and he did not think that there was any necessity for troubling a jury, as his information was that he had died in the presence of a very full vestry, and there was no suspicion whatever of his having taken anything to destroy himself. The foreman said that he was always led to believe that the Coroner had no option in all cases of sudden death but to hold an inquest. The Coroner observed that if he was as fully satisfied in cases of sudden death as in that he never thought of holding an inquest. The foreman thought in every case, let the party be rich or poor, it should be investigated; if not, such conduct on the part of the Coroner was open to severe animadversions, and it was even then rumoured in that neighbourhood that the Coroner would not hold an inquest upon Mr. Stephenson, because by so act ing he would obtain a higher fee than that awarded to him by the county. The Coroner remarked, that a prospect of a re ward, however great, should never bias him to a dereliction of his public du y; and concluded, by saying that if he heard from other quarters any dissatisfaction expressed Ono inqury being made as to the decease of Mr. Stephenson, he should issue his warrant for the summoning of a jury forthwith. NIGHT POAC II ING.—ROC HESTER., JAN. 15.—The neighbourhood of the Earl of Darnley's estates, at Cobham, is greatly infested by poachers, although the exertions of the trustees have lately thinned the fraternity. This morning a notorious character, named James Goodhew, was brought be fore the Magistrates, charged with trespassing upon land in the occupation of Mr. William Lake, at Chalk, on Wednesday eight last, with wires, in the pursuit of game. The prisoner, who had been convicted of poaching twice before, pleaded guilty to day poaching, but not guilty to night poaching. Thomas Capps, gamekeeper to the Darnley estates, said, on Wednesday evening last I saw the prisoner on William Lake's land. Saw him set wires for hares. It was about a quarter peat five in the evening. I had found the wires about half an hour before. They had fallen down, and I went into the wood a few roods distant, and lay down to watch. The prisoner came and set the wires up. It was so dark that he could only find them by kicking about. I ran out and caught him, and searched him, and, as he resisted, I let him go, and afterwards had him apprehended. I know it was past five o'clock. The Bench said that the question turned on whether or not it was night, and, on consulting the Al manack, found that the sun set on that day at four minutes past four o'clock. The Bench convicted the prisoner, who pro mised, if let off, not to repeat the offence. The Rev. G. Davis told him that he thought it was not in his power to refrain from poaching. He had as great a taste for it as gentlemen had for sporting, but the game must be protected, and sen tenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, and at the expiration of that time to find two sureties in 5/. .each for his good behavieus, or to be fnather imprisoned for six months. CAUTION TO NtansEs.--An.inquisition was taken bafore Mr. Baker, on Saturday, at the Three Loggerheads, Virginia-row, Bethnal-green, on the body of a ma's infant, (newly born), who died shortly after some gin had been ad. ministered to it by the nurse attending on the mother. Lydia Carlin, a married woman, of No. 2, Turk's-row, Bethnal green, said that the deceased was born on Thursday last, about two o'clock. Witness was delivered by a female ac eoueheur. Shortly after, as it was moaning and appeared distressed, witness remarked to a female named Elizabeth Jolliff, who was attending her, whether she could not give the child something to aooth it. The nurse said that there was some gin in a bottle, which she would give it. She then mixed about a quarter of a teaspoonful of the gin with some moist sugar, which was administered to it. The deceased almost lost its breath, and bled at its mouth. A surgeon was immediately sent for, who ordered a warm bath, De ceased was put into it, but it died in a quarter of an hour after. Four months ago she was frightened by two dogs, and has not been well since. The Coroner observed that they ought to have called in a medical man, who would have re commended what was proper to be administered. Mr. Peter Burchell, No. 1, Kingsland-road, surgeon, stated that he found the deceased in a convulsive state, he ordered some carminative medicine and a warm bath. There was blood upon its bedgown. Gin given to a child so young might bring on convulsions and death in a short time. Such a stimulant ought not to be administered by nurses, as there is great danger in its application. Elizabeth Jolliff stated that she was ex tremely sorry for the death of the child, and that she would undertake net to give gin again. The Coroner here read the law, from Carrington and Payne, appli cable:—Persons, not of a medical education, who should administer medicine, and death ensue, were guilty of man slaughter ; and gave several decisions of Judge Bailey. He then directed the jury to return an open verdict, as a magis trate might take a different view of the evidence. He did not think the jury would be disposed to send the case to another tribunal. Verdict—" That the deceased was born alive, and died within five hours of its birth, but from what cause there was no satisfactory evidence." The Coroner told the nurse that she was indebted to the kind consideration of the jury for the verdict, and remarked that had the case been stronger, he would have had no difficulty in sending her for trial. LORD LYNEDOC II AND TILE DEACON OF THE FLEsilEas.—This illustrious Nobleman was mere celebrated for his doings than his sayings. Of the latter, however, ono uttered in the battle-field will long live in military history— " Spare your powder, my lads, but give them plenty of steel." Another at the festive board, although well known to most of our local readers, we believe has not yet appeared in print. It was on the occasion of the entertainment given here, on his return from the Peninsula, by the Trades of Perth ; and, in the course of the evening, when the good cheer had begun to remove the restraint which the rank and fame of the dis tinguished guest had at first imposed on his entertainers—the Deacon of the Fleshers, getting familiar with the gallant Lord, ventured to ask in his most coaxing manner, " Come, nog, General, hoo mony men may ye hae killed wi' your own hand?" " Ah, Deacon," was the ready reply, " I have never shed so lunch blood in soy life u you r..... Perth Courier. on Monday a field of upwards of 100 had assembled, inelnding Lord Norbury, Messrs. Worley, Pole, Stainforth, Warde, and Vyse, and several military officers from Windsor, met at Winkfield church ; and a slight thaw having commenced, the Richmond hind 'was uncarted (after waiting for an hour) at Brockhill, between twelve and one o'clock, going away to Hawthorn-hill, doubling to the left to Jealous-hill, on to Weston-mill, and thence bark again to Hawthorn. The hiad then made for Brick-bridge, crossing for Bray-common, swimming over the Cut, and down to Thatchen-end ; thence away for Hollyport, doubling back through the woods to Whits Waltham, and was there taken near the residence of Mr. Pole, after a run, of about an hour and a half. The country in many places was exceedingly hard from the frost during the night, and somewhat dangerous to horse and rider. DBATII FROM GLANDERS.—The Paris Ilfoniteur of Monday quotes the following from a letter from Carcassonne ; —" M. Basle, veterinary surgeon of the 9th Chasseurs, who was married only three weeks since, died on the 31st of December of glanders, caught while attending a horse ill of that disease. It appears that the contagion of this cruel malady was communicated to the olfactory organs through the indiscreet zeal of M. Bashi, who, in desiring to investigate all the symptoms of the sick animal, had the imprudence to smell and inhale the odour arising from the matter discharged from the horse's nostrils !" The Moniteur is in error in supposing that deaths from glanders are by any means uncommon. It is scarcely a year since there were two patients affected by this horrible disease in one of our metropolitan hospitals, and a third, in attending upon these originally affected, contracted the malady. All three died. THREE VALUABLE HORSES BURNT TO DEATH.— About nine o'clock on Monday night the stable, coach-house, loft, and other outbuildings, the property of Mr. Hollis, sur geon' Lewisham village, about two miles from Greenwich, took fire, and being old wooden buildings, were speedily con sumed, together with three favourite and valuable horses, •har nets, &c. A plentiful supply of water was at hand, and the destructive element was subdued in less than an hour. The groans of the poor animals were exceedingly distressing, but such was the fury of the flames, that it was impossible to ex tricate theirs. THE LINENDRAPERS' INSTITUTION.—The annual ball in aid of the funds of this institution, held at Willis's rooms on Tuesday, assembled a party of nearly 600 persons, and the stewards, emulating each other in the benefits they could render, excited an interest unequalled by any previous ball. Jullien's band was in attendance. The refreshments, supplied by Mr. Younghusband, gave all the satisfaction that could be desired. It is gratifying to observe the success of this benevo lent institution, inasmuch as it was one of the first of the various trades which sought to introduce the establishment of funds to be administered to individuals in particular communi ties, without the humiliating feelings which must ever:attead the receipt of charity. There is now a fund of some thousands of pounds exceeding the permanent sum required by the rules. DEATH FROM lIYDROPHOMA.—Between four and five o'clock on Monday afternoon last, a lad, named Enos Hayward, 17 years of age, a stable-boy, in the sortie's of Mr. Warwinsh, of Carshalton, Surrey, was admitted into St. Thomas's Hospital suffering from hydrophobia. He was brought to the above Institution from Carshalton Is a fly, and while being assisted to alight he was seized with a pa roxysm of the disease, barking loudly like a dog s anti attempt ing to bite the persons near him ; so exceedingly violent were his struggles, that it required the exertions of four strong men to carry him up into George's Ward, and he was obliged to be held down in bed by main force. During the interval. of the succession of attacks he was assailed with, he was per fectly rational, and frequently remarked that the attendants need not be afraid, as he would not hurt any of them ; he also said he had no doubt he should be better by the morrow, and seemed to be totally unconscious of the fatal aature of the malady he was ;Meted with. C.v. y pusstutv wa• paid him, but he expired at about eleven o'clock the same night. He had, it appears, been bitten about six weeks ago by a dog that had strayed into the stable-yard; the wound was very slight, and, healing quickly, no further notice was taken of it. During Sunday last he complained of sharp pains in the neck and a peculiar uneasiness about the throat, and on Monday last unequivocal symptoms of the frightful disease be was suffering under indicated themselves. l‘lsearcenonv SUICIDE.—An inquest was held on Tuesday at the Baker's Hall, Harp-lane, Tower-street, before Mr. Payne, on the body of Mary Anne Schafer, aged thirty. George Evans, City police-constable, 503, said, that on Saturday evening last he was on duty in Trinity-square, Tower, when he received information that the deceased was lying on the ground in Savage gardens, and was in want of immediate assistance. He found her in an insensible state, and a phial and cup, both of which had recently been emptied of essential oil of almonds, by her side. r Witness carried her to Mr. Ager, surgeon in Trinity-square, where means for her recovery were instantly adopted. Restoratives, however, were of no avail, and she died in about an hour. Wit ness found in her pocket a letter addressed to a very respectable ship-broker. Witness believed the deceased to be an " unfortunate woman." The Coroner road the letter alluded to by the witness, and it appeared that the deceased and the person referred to had been on terms of intimacy for several years. The object for which it was written was to get money, and deceased complained of having been abandoned. It stated that he was the cause of what she was going to do. Mary Keene, of No. 34, Fleet-lane, Smithfield, said that deceased had resided in her house. On Saturday last she spoke much and very feelingly of Mr. —, and said that she was that day going to carry him a letter. Deceased was very much attached to him. Mr. —, senior, said that his son, being desirous of breaking off the acquaintance. offered her 31. a few days ago, on condition that he should be subject to no further pecuniary claim ; she re. jected the offer, and since then he had not seen her. She drank the poison near his door. Verdict—Tem porary insanity. STEEPLE CHASE AT CHEA.M.—A steeple chase match for bOl. a side took place on Thursday, at Clem, be tween Mr. G. Brettell and Mr. Hopkins, two gentlemen well known in the sporting world, which excited a good deal of in terest. The terms of the match were, for Mr. Brettell to ride his horse, the Count, against a horse of Mr. Hopkins, known as the Daring Ranger, over four miles of fair hunting country. the winning flag being pitched upon blorden common, at the back of the Lord Nelsen Inn, Cheam. The start took place at White's farm, ;Kinston ' about half-past three o'clock, Mr. Hopkins getting a slight advantage at the start, which he kept for a short distance, Mr. Brettell, however, being well up. They continued in this situation ever the first two or three fences, the country being dreadfully heavy and the fences diffi cult. At the Alorden river INIT. Brettell went over the ford and got safely through. Mr. Hopkins, however, put his horse at it, though in a slanting position, and he failed to accomplish the leap and went into the middle of the stream, unhorsing his rider, who got * complete ducking. Ile speedily remounted him, and in two or three fields was again well up with his antagonist. The race was now very interest. ing ; the horses were almost neck andneck, and going at racing speed, and they both came together to the grip way which car ries off the land water from the whole of this neighbourhood, and which from the heavy rains was a somewhat formidable obstacle to encounter, being upwards of seven feet deep, anti nearly thirteen feet over. Both horses, however, cleared it in good style, and up to the last flag the horses appeared so equally matched that it was difficult to form an opinion which would be the winner. At the last fence, however, Mr. Brettel made a swerve to the left, cleared the hedge first, and thus got the start, which enabled him to bring his horse in the winner by two or three lengths. It was understood that a good deal of money changed hands on the occasion.— Cambridge Advertiser INCOME-TAX APPEAL 6 THE CITY OF LONDOIt. —The appeals under schedule D on profits arising from professions, trades, &c., up to the sth of April, 1844, are rapidly being disposed of.
