MMtpBir3ROUGH-STREET.

George Brown, cellarrnan, of Ili, London-street, Fitrroy-
square, was charged before Mr. Knox on suspicion of having
feloniously entered a cellar ander Percy Chapel, and wilfully
and maliciously damaged a quantity of wine in bottles and
wood, of Use value of about 6001., the property of Mr.
Richard Tukesbory Chamen (trading under the style of
Chamen Brothers), wine merchant, of Charlotte-street.
Mr. Frederick Goodrum, clerk to Mr. Chamen, and living
at 7, Charlotte•street, said At 12 o'clock on Monday night I
wee awoke by the poboe on duty, and in consequence of what
I was informed I went morose to the cellar. I found all
the sins alight, and nine casks of wine, the bungs bang
taken out, turned down with the bungholes downwards, and
all the wine over the place. I then found that an iMaISINIS
number of bottles of sherry and port were smashed, evidently
done by kicking them with heavy boots. I also found that
three quarter cask. of waste wine bad sot been tosehed,
evidently showing that the person who did the damage was
conversant with the place, and knew the valuable wine from
this other. The amount of wine destroyed, I should say, was
about snot.

Other evidence baying been adduced, which seemed Mort
suspicion as the prisoner. be WY remanded for a week.

NEWMARKET STEEPLECHASES.
THIMISDAT.
After a lapse of fifteen years a steeplechase meeting has
been revived at Newmarket. An admirable course, within
half-a-mile of the Kennett statics, on the Newmarket and
Bury Railway, was made, and the distanoe—f our miles—
was easily approachable by road and rail. The lin* of
country formed something of the shape of the letter
" P," the competitors starting opposite the judge's box, and
returning over the fences taken on the outward journey.
Although the obstacles were in many places " try
iog," the fences generally were not formidable. In
the longest race there were twenty-six jumps,
including the brook, which bad to be taken twice in each
of the contests. The weather, which for some time bad
been beautifully fine, broke up on the eve of "the chase,"
but fortunately the rain passed away during the night, and
the opening day, though thick and foggy, remained fine
until nearly the termination of the racing. The attendance
—principally composed of the London division—wasnu-
merous, and the programme, which contained four events
and a match, was productive of close contests. The
day's proceeding, commenced, with the usual Newmarket
punctuality, at one o'clock, with the principal Handicap of
the day, for which six runners went to the poet, and ter-
minated in favour of Ben Lend—the "John Scott" of
steeplechasing. Subjoined are details of the running :
