LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.
InDNEADAT.
THE G/t4LND NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE DAY.
The fearful weather os Tuesday, which forcibly reminded
the visitors to Aintree of the rigours of Siberia, caused
grave apprehensions as to the possibility of bringing •
conclusion the Grand National in seccellauce with the
mishits' fixture, es diming the sight there was a hairy fall
of ;now. The night preceding the grand chase woe, Low.
ever, root marked by any sotewortLy events, and although
the narrow thoroughfares leading to " the Albion," the
headquarters of speculation, were besieged, no transactioo
of any importance was recorded. Bantam aed Emblematic,
the two favourites, were very firm at 11 to 2 each, and there
was • g disposition to lay oo " the two flat racers,"
Real Jam and Serene Cue. There was, however, more
badinage thaw business, and the dingy hotel was abandoned
early. Wedoesday morning opened bitingly cold, and the snow
still lay thick no the ground, bat the atmosphere oeing clear,
the unto by neon was sulticieuly powerful to dissolve the
patches of white which were to be dawned acro.a the
entire hoed the Greed National " couutry." The ground,
as may be anticipated, was exceedingly heavy, and the
general observation was that • stroug'un would be re-
quired to rise in such dirt. The attendance was enormous,
the grand sod minor stands being crammed, and the congre-
gation of pedestrians or each aide the course, and the vast
crowds at the water jump and other salient point., were
perhaps greater than on any previous anuivereary. The
Croxteth party, consisting of the Hoo. W. G. Craven
(whip), Lord Sefton, Lord Uxbridge. and Lord Westmore-
land, arrived about half-put 12 in their well-appointed
coach.and.four and among the company were several noble
and distinguished persouages. As soon as speciilators
amembled io the enclosure, an ardent disposition
wes manifested to commence operations on the Grand
National, the ioquines after several animals being most
spirited. Emblematic and Bantam remained at the head of
the quotations, about equal favourites, at 11 to 2 each.
while sto 2 sae offered against the two coupled. Real
Jam, Jerusalem, and Wee Nall were pert in demand ; but
the feature of the betting wee the mend support
received by Serious Case, who rapidly advanced
to 100 to 8, taken freely. Time will not admit
of many prefatory remarks, and a full return of
the running on the several events will be found below, The
Grand National was appointed for three o'clock, mid long
before that hour large crowds had taken up their positions
at the various spot* of interest in the " line of country."
It will be seen that the large number of 25 went to the post,
sad that Emblematic sad Arbury had the finish to them-
selves, Lord Coventry's mare winning easily by three
lengths. The winner is own sister to Emblem--last year's
notress-ridden by the same jockey, and curiously enough,
too, the second on this occasion obtained the same position
last year. Embleinatic's mean appearance raised a host
of enemies, and many of the presumed good judges
declared her to be • " rat" and • ' rake-handle." Indeed,
when she was seen, so strong • spirit of hostility set in
against bar that she receded point by point, until at one
time as much as 100 to 8 was offered against her. Lord
Coventry's victory for the second year in succession led to
an enthusiastic demonstration. and the young " Lord of
Croome," who wins, sin dot, 13,0001., was overwhelmed
with congratulations. George Stevens steered the winner
with consummate skill and coolness. It was at one time,
however, feared he would not be able to ride, owing to the
fall he received last week at Derby. Subjoined are de-

UNIVERSITY BOAT-RACIL The Oxford gentlemen
were expected at Putney, at their hotel, Mr. Kirby's, the
White Lion, yesterday afternoon ; but neither they nor
their boat had arrived up to seven o'clock in the evening ;
lad aocordiag to the state of the tide, it is not probable
that, even should their boat arrive, they will take a tun
over the course until this afternoon. The inclement state
of the weather yesterday would suggest the safety of a crew
training for a great event not neWlesaly exposing them-
selves to it ; but it would take more than weather to deter
spirited young men of alien water. By a communication re-
ceived yesterday evening we rind that the Cambridge crew
went to Ely on Monday, and rowed in their new boat, which
is said to be lively, although carryiog very heavy
weight, distaste four miles out and back. It as their infan-
ta/0 to motions at Ely for the advantage of the deep water
sod long reaches throughout the week, and they will not ep.
pear upon the metropolitan tonining course at Putney until
Monday next. Bettie( is 6 tied 7 to 4co Oxford. After

Conve►t in Paris, and sauteed the black veil, t►kua the
usual vows of poverty, obedience, ►ad chastity. le
SW`, by an enrolled rodenture, aseigued all her real and I
personal estate to Sealant Bellasia and Mr. Hope Scott
upon trust to sell the same and stand possessed of the pro-
ceeds in trust for the fathers of the Oratory at Brampton.
The executors of the will paid Elizabeth Thompson's share '
of residue, amounting to 934/. Console, into court. Elia-
both Thompson, Serjeact Bellaais, and Mr. Hope Scott then
petitioned for a transfer of the Consols. The executors
submitted to the court whether Elizabeth Thompson wee
not to be considered as ciriliter mortua, and in any use
whether she wu not eo far deprived of free messes as to
make it improper to pay the money on this petition, and
the Master of the Rolls held that the court ought to protest
her, ■nd declined to order the fund so be so traasferred.
From this the petitioners appealed.
Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. Burdon for the petitioners ;
Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., and Mr. Bowing, for some of the
other residuary legatees, opposed.
The Lords Justices said that at the presect day no one
could be driller mortar', and that there wu no ramie why
this money should not be paid to this lady. She might,
and probably would, make use of it in a manner of which
we did not approve, and might think very foolish, and she
might be under the influence of persons who would induce
her to do so ; but there was nosuggestion that she wee not
in her right *sum and she must have the money. There
was no reason for paying it into court, and an order would
be made for payment out se prayed, and nothing would be
said about the costs on either side.

HOME CIRCUIT.--CBgr.marosn, MARca 8.

This morning Chief Justice Erie was ushered into the
Crown Court by the new High Sheriff of the county of
Essex, Edgar Disney, Esq., and after the usual formalities
the grand jury, of which the Hoo. Arthur Petro was fore-
man, was sworn.
Emma Smith, a middle-aged woman of singularly repul-
sive appearance, and Samuel Stammers, • wellattired and
respectable looking man, surrendered to take their trial on
an indictment charging them with the manslaughter of •
roan known only by the cognomen of Dummy, at Little
Iledingbam on the 3rd August last. The female prisoner
bad to be assisted into the dock, and remained throughout
the protracted inquiry in a perfectly helpless condition.
Mr. Pearce, with whom was Mr. Marten, conducted the case
for the prosmtion ; Mr. Codd defended the female primer,
and Mr. Philbriek appeared for the prisoner Steinman.
Though the me occupied the attention of the court a
considerable time the facts may be thus narrated. The
female primer, who was the wife of a beer-shop keeper at
Ridge, conceived • superstitious notion that she had been
bewitched by the deceased, who was a deaf sad dumb man.
aged 80 years, who led an eccentric life, occupying • mud
hovel by himself, and wandering about the country with •
number of small dogs. On the night of the 3rd August the
female prisoner followed the deceased to • Savers celled the
Swan, at Little Hedingham, and there entreated him to
return home with her, as she alleged that that would break
the charm he had put upon her soul. The deemed
by gesticulations refused to comply, and the evidence
went to show that on leaving after the house
was cleared she led him to • brook near, sad Urea threw
him down, but the old man got up again, when she took
his stick from him and Mark him sesesal blows oa the
shoulders and bead, remarking, with great vindictiveness,
that " as he had served her out she would serve him out.'
After this the old man was taken lower down the brook,
to • spot where the water was dammed up for • mill
stream and was deep, and there it was shown that the old
man was thrown in by the prumen, and only rescued on •
cry that If he remained there he would be drowned, when
singular to say on hearing the cry the prisoner Steamers
jumped into the sluice and brought the deceased out.
He was oonveyed to his hovel, where he was found the
next morning lyMg on his wretched bed in his wet
clothes by • gentleman named Posh*, who hussansly caused
him to be removed to the noise workhouse, where of course
every attention, medical and otherwise, was paid to him.
H. however expired on the 4th of September last from Goo.
gretiou of the lungs and disorganisation of the kidneys,
accelerated by the immersion in the water and his remain.
lag all night is his wet clothes.
Mr. Codd sod Mr. Philbrick made energetic appeals to the
jury on behalf of their respective clients, and
The Chief Justice having minted op, the jury, after •
conference of ten mioutee duration, returned a verdict of
Guilty against both the prisoners.
The Chief Justice sentenced them respectively to be im-
prisoned and kept to hard labour for the term of era calendar
months.
