manifested on our Esplanade on Monday afternoon, the
occasion being • match whiati bed been arranged between
Mr. Lowiew's mare Beauty, and Mr. Yearaley's Miss

by their respective owners, catch weight. One mile,
over siz flights of hurdles. Mr. Gard, of Gold.erees
Faros, weed LI starter, and Mr. Gone, of the Victoria
Hotel, ea judge. The hurdles were pitched on the
sands, and the worse was from opposite Brunswick-
buildings to the Victoria steps. Shortly before four the
animals appeared at the starting point, and Mr.
Yesreley'a was at once the favourite, at sto 2. Great
inoonveoience was experienced by parties not in the
race pressing on those engaged, and after a start had
been effected, Mr. Lowmates mare only took the first
two hurdles, retailing the third, and bolting out of the
owns. Mr. Yearaley's, of cones,, finished the run
easily by herself' but we undarstisnd the case was
disputed, and will be referred to the editor of Belts
Life for decision. The same horses were Immediately
matched for • fiat rate over the mile course for 3 soy.,
a aide. It was known that the difference In the weights
was such that Was Wallace had to carry about let,
more than Mr. Lowman's more, and the odds in her
favour declined to about 3 to 2, and not much money
was staked on the second event. The event justified the
decline. There was • capital start and a first-rate
race, Mr. Lowman's Beauty ultimately coming in •
winner by two lengths. There was • great concourse of
persons on the sands and the &plated., the
weather being fine, and the appointeee might almost
have reminded one of • Regatta day. At the slow

appointment was felt at Its being hindered by the
unsatisfactory termination of the first match,

happy to find, been the occaaion of pleasure not only to

Christmas eve, when all the poor women enjoyed their
ills. of tea, the men their jib. of tobisooo, and the chil-
dren their their thumping piece of mike, through the
kindness of H. Edwards, Esq., Y. !.,and the grand doings
on Christmas day, when all the inmates had • *vital
dinner of roast beef and excelleot plum pudding,
washed down with boar, by the liberality of the
guardians—Thursday night last was the scene of •
treat specially to the children. Several kind ladies,
prominent among whom were Hiss Pigott, Miss Payne,
Miss E. Bower, were so thoughtful as either to give or
rates by subscription a considerable som of money for
the purpoae. The women's ward, being the largest,
was chosen, and was very nicely decorated with festoons
of evergreens, brightened up by • number a Bogs
kindly tent by Mr. Holden, of Lansdowne. Several
beautiful mottoes *bowed that the children were by no
means strangers to ezhibltioni of taate, and" Feed my
lambs," "Vit.," kn., were nicely done in laurel leaves,
and the room was illuminated by a number of Chinese
lanterns. Nearly 80 children, and 10 or 12 old women,
sat flown to an exisellent tea of plum cake, Ice., and by
their consumption showed how heartily they enjoyed
it. To perody. theold.sung—

was provided in admiring a handsome Christmoi tree,
the same as had been used at tLe Trinity school treat,
and presented to the union by the Rev. V. S. Itansome.
Miss Bower, and Miss Coppock, with the schoolmistress,

In these jkzer sonls, whose faces lit lip with pleasure at
the familiar strains. Dancing was next indulged in,
and the astivity with which some upend about was
most amusing; while one man of a religious turn of

dent," whose monomania wits ambition, after the
quadrille was over, favoured the company with a pas
scul, which he called a waltz, in which some original
post's plastiques, worthy of a nigger troupe, were
received by his fellowiidiots with immense applause,
and he evidently thought hiinself a master of the
Terpsichorean art. One .4 the females elicited some

A Cues von hIEIDICANCT. —The inhabitants of
' Blackheath believe they have die:overeat • cure for
menithancy. They have formed themselves into •
Mendiaity Fociety, and their plan Is never to give direct
relief to borgars, either in the form of clothes, money,
or food. They have established an office, and appointed
an °Moor to take charge of it, whale duty it is to
inqUir. Into every case of mendicancy, and to recommend
relief if he finds the case to be • deserving one. When
1• person asks for oberity, be or the reoelves • ticket to
, be presented at the office, where the officer hikes down
the nitro° and address, and at oath proceeds to investi.
gate the ease. It the person professes to be starving,
the officer seta bread before him, which he either eats in
the officer's preeenee or leaves. If he is a labourer or
tramp going through the district in search of work, be
is helped on his way. If on enquiry the case of any
poor resident ii found t" be • deserving one, and the
relieving-officer of the district thinks more help should
be given than the poor•law guardians supply, snob help
is rendered. A really deserving case is therefore
j tolerably sure of effectual relief, while cases of probes.
I sional mendicancy are as certain to be discovered and

suggests that a small bounty be offered at the tom-

believe In the practicability of any scheme for getting
rid of these "sea poilehers," tells Mr. I)rew that he does
not think Parliament could be applied to to grant
Money for such a purpose, and that It would be better
to leave it to private enterprise. Mr. Drew would not

further communications on the same subject to the
President of the Board of Trait', who cut the correspon-

anything to eat there. In her pocket were found some
Spanish nuts, chestnuts, and walnuts, and she had

MI. GLADSTONE AND 666. The Rev. Thomas
Iluband Gregg, U. A., of Trinity College. Dublin, curate
of rradley, near Birmingham, who is the editor of a
little magazine called Gilead, hat discovered that the

Apocalypse. The following are his unioutilated remarks

where we find, "Let him that bath understanding count
the number of the beset, for it lathe number of a man,
and his number is six hundred three sure and six."

THE FEAST or TIN EMU/Irr.-0e the festival of
the Epiphany, there was full choral sarriee, eonsisting
of morning prayer and the ante-communion office. at
the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, where ti curious
practice of medieval origin was duly observed, according
to the immemorial custom of the place. After the
reading of the sentences at the offertory, "Let your
light so shine before mon," while the organ played soft
music, two members of her Majesty's household, In
uniform, descended from the royal pew, and advanced
to the altar rails, preceded by an usher or beadle, where
thoy presented to the officiating clergyman (the Rev.
Thomas Helmer.) a red bag, edged with gold lees or
braid, who received it In an offertory basin, and then
reverently classed It on the altar. This bag or puns
was undentood to contain the Queen's offering of gold,
frankincense and myrrh, lit commemoration of the gifts
of the Magi to the Infant Saviour. In the Chtuth
Militant Prayer that followed the words used were
"alms and offerings." In the congregation, besides the
choir, there were not more than 20 or 30 people present,

slander came before the Under-Sheriff of Devon on
Wednesday, at the Castle of Exeter. The partial In
dispute were ladies residing in the vicinity of Exeter.
Defendant had allowed lodgment to go by default, and
the question now was the amount of damages to be
awarded. The plaintiff was Mrs. Lune!, and UM
defendaat Mrs. lAdaley. The four count' against the
defendant were that she had maliciously published
reports stating that Mrs. Larnell had poisoned • little
girl named Louis; 2nd, that she had said to a medleal
man, '' Ton must be on your guard, and analyse all the
ingestia of the stomach, for you will be sure to Sod
areenia"—meanine that the plaintiff was pawning her
husband; 3rd, by saying "she" (the plaintiff) "was
poisoning him" (the plaintiff's brother). It was &holm
that both the net:eased persons bed died from natural
mums, and that not the slightest symptom of poisoning
by Arsenio existed, elthough • post stortem examination
had been made. The charge of poisoning by attests,
to., was reiterated. Mr. Mortimer, counsel for the
defence submitted that there was no malice, the
expressions used being the result of affeetionate feeling
for the persons who bad died. Hebeldthatnodamage
had been sustained by the plaintiff. The jury tbonglst

the gaolers. The oldest delinquent was brought out

man named Johnson was out walking in • lane about
a mile from Norwich, &romper:pied by his dog. The
dog was ranging • naighbooriog plantation, and found
there a piece of carrion, which he brought out on the
road, and with which he immediately ran home. On
debars's arrival at home he was horrified to see that
the piece of flesh the animal had toned was a human

plantation was thoroughly searched, and Nereid other
pieces of flesh were found. On the next day, Sunday,

and small pieces of human flesh, evidently carved in

been committed, and, as e'er.' In such cues,
they received numerous applications and inquiries
from persons whose (Sub were missing, but
they entirely failed either to identify the body or
to discover true of the murderer. At one period of

would know all ebout it at Norwich. This statement
precisely tallies with the frt. of the half-forgotten

of thed by 11r. Johnson's dog, and accords singu-
larly with the goer which the medical men made
