make the new erection a permanency, and torts fresh one
built during the next nine months for Goodwood. To deal,
however, with the real business of the LW meeting, I
have to notice the fact of the first race being productive
of a dead heat-a good augury for thou fond of the sport-
and the 2.yr-old Richard displayed good form when be-
coming one of the heroes, for the mile and a quarter finish
is very severe, and he was running a good horse with none
the best of the weights. Argonaut, in the absence of
Vanguard, had nothing to best for the (hand Duke
Michael; and Tubal Cain's pipes having gone completely
out of order, it was only natural the game little Otho
should best him over an up-hill six furlongs, whatever their
relative forms may have been previously. The Greet Eastern,
following in the wake of most other great handicaps
of the mums, was a veritable surprise, more especiany
to those connected with the winner, Bioodella, she having
done nothing but walking exercise Circe Doncaster I. conse-
quence of her being overworked prior to that meeting. She
fairly won all the way, and the only doubt on my mind is
whether Michel Grove would not have disturbed her had he
got off, seeing how he beat his four opponente next day,
and Tarragoas in a match on Friday. Gadding's stable
ran Sawcutter and Keane, besides Biondella, and Fryer's
depended solely upon Myrtle, in proforma. to Maggiore or
Evenhand, so that in selecting the two stables to get the
winner my labours were rewarded by their running first
and third. Alchymist ran a good horse, considering hie
weight,and got home so far before several of his Cambridge-
shire oppmeote-Myrtle, Tattoo, Dorrouiter, Black
Pearl, Walpole, the Fannie colt, and Tipperary Girl
-that he must be very formidable in that en-
counter, with oily Est to carry indeed of Pet 71b.
The Hopeful created another surprise, as the winner,
Fantastic, made but a poor ahow in his race at the Curragh
net a month ago but woo here all the way, and proved
himself a first clam colt by snob an easy defeat of Golden
Dust, Gunner, the Wasp colt, Ac. The Maid of Hanover
looked but a wretched copy of her former self when she
came out to oppose Merry hied for their match, and copious
odds were laid on the young one, despite the weights,
although at the opening the owner of the loser had every
chance to hedge his stake, the fielders being very staunch
at 6 to 4 astir they thought they "saw something."
Camerino looked so well when coming out against Prince
Plausible and West-end for the Triennial that his victory
was reduced to • certainly, and with Set 41b his chance
for the Cambridgeshire looked far from a bad
one. The first race on the emend day exhibited a
further improvement in Amy's form, as she was
winning by lengths, and all the others pulling up, until
Fordham stopped her to walk past the winning post, when
on Rogers setting Wild Rose going again to get mooed for
the purpose of claiming Any, he took Fordham and himself
also quite by surprise, being compelled to win. Amy. how-
ever, was good enough to tell the Americans they had •
formidable candidate for the Ceesrewitch in Umpire, as he
was backed for a large stake of money next day, and looked
so fit and well when galloping on the heath that he is un-
doubtedly "himself again," if such a fact is good enough to
make him win with the lenient weight of 7st 121 b. The
other events decided on the second day call for no cow-
' meat, except that Carisbrook showed his true form for the
St. Leger; and the principal feature of the third day wu
the closeness of the contest between Torpedo and Early Purl
for the Triennial, in which Fordham fully oompensated his
followers for their disappointment with Amy, and landed the
American colours by the shortest of heads. Friday's great
future was the October Handicap, which only attracted a
dozen opponents to Ophelia and Carisbrook, so well had
they performed in previous races at the meeting ; and
()obeli* followed up lam =Refire over the WADS amuse on
Thursday by winning in a cuter, as she ought to have done
spout such a ragged lot as all but Cemerino, Costa,
Carisbrook, Alerts, and Lapicliat appeared, and these she
had all the best of the weights with. Lapides ran well with
her for a mile, aid will take some beating for the Cam-
bridgeshire wherein he holds safe Camerino, Walpole, Don-
outer, `Stanton, Lupus, and Myrtle, but he did not, through
' the latter, lock such a formidable candidate as Alchymist,
and Mr. Payne's colt has only to " oarry the money, when
he will become a capital inveatment, for it must not be
overlooked he ran a fair two-yr-old. At any rate neither of
the other rums at the First October Meeting brought to
light such • "good thing" for any event, and it is hard to
understand why be is not a favourite.
The Royal Caledonian Hunt and Kelso Meeting, which
takes place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and the
"little go" at Bedford on Tuesday and Wednesday, are not
of any great importance, and the programmes for them are
so incomplete that a very few words will suffice for them.
With reference to the Scotch meeting, I need only remark,
thatHaddington in the Caledonian Handicap, and Tattoo and
My Mary in the Roxburgh., look most tempting, them
being the two chief items ; while as regards Bedford, I must
stud upon Fantastic for the Two-Year-Old Stakes, Boabdil
for the Bedfordshire Handicap, and Ophelia for the Smarty.

in the affirmative, and discharged the bankrupt.

Stephen Zeit, • blind man, who was •brought before the
Lord Mayor • few drbeek charged with having caused the
death of Elio Huff kicking her in the abdomen, warn
brought up on Saturdayi upon remand to undergo a final
examination upon that charge.
The evidence given upon the last examination, it will be
remembered, was that of a sister of the deemed, who lived
is • room in the house next door to the one in which the
prisoner and he wife lived, and who deposed to having been
awoke on the morning of Saturday, the 27th of September,
by loud screaming and a heavy fall, upon which she went to
see if it was her sister, and found her lying on the floor in
the passage against the door of her own room, and that she
complained to her of the ill-usage of the prisoner.
Oa Saturday one of the prisoner's children, a little
girl shout 12 years of age, was examined, arid said
she went out with her father on the evening
of Friday, the 26th of September, and went home
at shoat one in the morning. The prisoner had been
playing and drinking at several public-houses. When be
met home he gave her mother a shilling, and told her to
go and get him some supper. She went with her mother,
tad they were gone about • quarter of an hour. When she
west back she began to take the things she had bought out
of her apron, when the prisoner got hie stick, and after
shutting the door, be bit her with the stick and knocked
her down. He then put the rack down, and she (witness)
put it away in the cupboard. He then hit her mother with
his fist, and then kicked her on the aide of her stomach. The
prisoner had opened the door again, and her mother fell
into the passage. Mrs. idlweeney, her aunt, heard the
screams and went to her mother, and the prisoner hit her on
the and withie stick. The prisoner went into the room and
locked the door, and her aunt lifted her mother up and sat her
on the stain, where she was sitting all night. Her
aunt went to her two or three timers during the
andnight

her mother ID. Mrs. Mlweeney was there at the time, and
either she or her mother told her to light the fire, which
she did.
The prisoner, who had been interrupting the witness
during the whole time she was giving her evideoot, telling
her she was telling lies, and to be careful what she said, he.,
was asked if he wished to ask her any questions, sad he
said he did.
He first said that all she had said was lies, and that
she had been put up to it all by her aunt, and he asked her
• number( of questions with a view to shaking her testimony,
but she adhered to all she had perviously said.
Sarah Trusty, • person living in the house adjoining the
one occupied by the prisoner and his family, said she was
awoke at about two o'clock on the morning of Saturdsy,
27th September by the screams of the prisuer's wife and
children. She heard • heavy fall, sod beard the prisoner
threaten to rip Ms wife up, and use other threatening lan.
OP- She beard Mrs. M'Sweeney's voice, and she beard the
pr euer say he would kill them both. She beard no more.
The disturbances there were so frequent that she took little
notice of it.
Oaroline Lewis, the midwife to the East Loudon Union,
said she was called to attend the prisoner's wife on Sunday
evening, September 28, at about 8 o'clock. She was ex-
pected to give birth to • chin every minute, and at the
time she went to her she appeared to be progressing very
favourably ; but shortly afterwards some very bad symp.
toms set in, and she sent for Dr. Fowler, and at about
half-peat 11 o'clock the child was born, but it was dead.
Dr. Fowler was then examined ; but it is impossible to
give the minute details of his evidence ; the purport of it
was, however, that he was called to attend the deceased
woman and found her in • complete state of col-
lapse, and presenting the most serious symptoms that
could possibly appear. Her face was pale and anxious.
The whole surface of her body was cold, her tongue and
breath were cold, and her pules was scarcely, if at all
perceptible, all of which indicated internal hemorrhage, the
result, probably, of some internal injury. Upon his arrival
he found the progress of the birth such that it should have
taken place •ery shortly, and he used stimulants and the
nerieseary remedies, but with little or no effect. The birth
took place at about half-peat 11, but it was not • natural
birth, and the child was stillborn. In consequence of
rumours which reached him he refused to give a certificate
of death, and a post mortem examination was made, at which
he was present, and he was of OPilli01) that death was caused
by the laceration of one of the abdominal organs, which
caused • quantity of blood to flow into the cavity of the
stomach.
In misses. to questions pet by the Lord Mayor,
Dr. Fowler said he couldsee no trace of externall Misses
from • stick or • kick, the body was too far decomposed.
He mild not say how long the child had been dead. It
was dead before the birth, and might have bees dead two
days. An injury might have been inflicted by • kick, which
during the progress would have been aggravated, and caused
the haemorrhage.
The prisoner received the usual caution, and was asked if
he wished to say anything to the charge of having felo-
niously killed and slayed ELM Belli'.
He said he did, and made • rambling statement, the pur-
porta which was to show that his wife was in perfectly
good health and spirits all day on Saturday and Suodny, and
be said all that his little girl bad maid she had been " put up
to" by hee aunt.
The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial.
A morose-looking man, a foreigner, who at the station.
house refused to give his name or any account of himself,
was brought up charged with attempting to slab ()ratio
Farmer, steward of the vessel Concordia, lying off Fresh
Wharf, with a penknife.
The prisoner was first spoken to in English, bat he ap-
peared not to understand, andi Dr. Haehunt, who was la
court, addressed him in French, Italian, and German, all of
with he affected not to understand. At Mr. Goodman's re-
quest he was told by the interpreter that his remaining
elect would avail him nothing, and he then said his name
was Valero Irnsnresco, and he was • native of Savoy.
The captain of the vessel said the prisoner was put on
board at Boulogne about five minutes before the vessel
started by the French police, and he said he had no money.
The Lord Mayor asked why they seat hint to Loudon.
The captain said he had been expelled from the country
before, and he arrived at Boulogne on the previous day
from Londoo in one of the company's boats, and be then
had no money to pay his peare The Preach police took
charge of him and put him on Med his vessel.
His lordship asked if he was directed by the consul to
do so.
The captain said he was sot. He was directed by the
Frees* police. When they got to Loaders the prisoner said
be bad no money to pay hie purge, and the ticket-collector
wanted him to leave Ms overcoat. This heat first refused,
but ultimately he cemented to do so. He was then told togs
out of the cabin, and refused to do so. Hanbrook, the con-
stable of the wharf, was called to remove him, but he re-
sided ; sad a/ the steward was rendering assistance the poi-
soner struck at him with the penknife. Whoa he wee

The evidence was intrepreted to the periodic, and when
asked what he bad to ash he said they wanted to take his
money and another cost from him.
