worth. The act stated that there mast be gaming. Pereoca
soy play at games of skill, and whist was oae of the most
lOW games that could be. It did not require stakes to

THE CASS OP MANSLAUGHTER IN THE
COMMERCIAL-Roan, STEPNEY.
-- •

Yesterday evening Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor
for the prosecution against Mr. Robert Cebu:ham, surgeon,
who is charged with shooting Thomas Solomon, a ships'
painter, in the garden at the back of Heath-house, Com-
mercial-road, Stepney, accompanied by a military
surgeon and his assistant, Mr. Thompson, a eau.
pee in the Mile-end-road, the brother of the dammed,
and Inspector Hayes, of the K division, proceeded to Ilford
Cemetery, in Essex, where the body of the deceased was
exhumed, by order of Sir Geo. Grey, the Secretary of Shte
for the Home Department, and carried to a large workshop
on the ground. The body was identified by the deceased's
brother. It was in an advanced state of decompoei.
tam The poet mortem examination was immediately pro-
oseded with, and conducted in a most careful manner by the
military surgeon appointed by the Home Secretary. The
head of the deceased was opened and the brain removed.
It was asoertained that the ball fired by the accused had
catered the left temple, passed through the brain, and -was
pobedded in the back of the skull. The ball
was removed, the body replaced in the shell, and
eggs buried in the grave from which it had
Mee. The theory propounded by the prisoner's advocate
that the deceased was hit by a spent ball after it had
struck the corner of a brick wall from which it re.
bosaded is apparently disproved by the poet mortem ex-
amination. The ease will terminate, as far as the magi'.
aerial investigation is concerned, on Tuesday next, when
Mr. Paget will commit the gamed for trial at the Central
Criminal Court.

BAZAAR AT ARGYLL H01181.—(THIS DAY.)—
This morning a large number of the nobility and gentry
mesinbled on the grounds of Argyll Hones, Kensington,
kindly lent by the Duchess of Argyll for the cxasion, to
take pert in a beztar established for the purpose of aiding
the Association for Promoting the Welfare of the Blind, an
institution in which her grace has always exhibited the most
lively interest. It is greatly in need of funds, and at the
house in Eaton-road, there are 400 poor blind men and
women applying for help, bet so sante:ice can be afforded
to them on account of the limited nature of the resources.
The bazaar which promises to be highly successful, will be
continuedto-morrow.

lamed his precept for the election of sheriffs of London and
Middlesex in succeasioa to Aldermen Dates and Begley,

matter Au up to the present time excited very little interest
it the City, but it is proposed that Alderman Gibbons, the

other effects of considerable value—consumed.

Tag RIGISTHATION or Hoagie IN FRANCL—
We cannot afford to be generous in mill business, but we I
will endeavour to be just. A great sextety and consider-
able doubt appears to hover in the minds of the mess of
ear oonntrycoen respecting the forward appearance of the
Fruch bones, and especially of Gladiateur, es he showed p
among the three-year-olde et the post. There is so forward
• look about the horse, that with so authentic data men I
may be excused for having breathed • suspicion that
Gladisteur Ins older than he ought to be. Unhappily the
man of acquiring correct information on these subjccts
Sr. few and uncertain. We have every moon to believe.
from information we have received, that in the present
ems there is no ground for suspicion at all. But we urge
the Jockey Club, and all those connected with the tart, to
take every precmtion for the proper registration of
thoroughbred stock in Franco. We have iLeady opened ,
the door to a most powerful and stioneseful rival ; there is
no neoemity for taking it off the hinges. The natural advan-
tars which the French enjoy more than compensate for
their want of experience, which is rather apparent then
reel. Their trainers are English, their jockeys are English,
sad they are no whit behind us in the mechanism and
machinery of the turf system. Why then should we throw
• abeam away' Wean purely told that the registration ,
of bones in France is mede to the Main of the Commune.
" The Mein ought to know when the foal is thrown if soy
eat does" may be an excellent joke. bat it will not sat,dy
the exigencies of our curiosity. We alionld like to see a
system of registration ea severe as our own. We know that
even in this country four-vcer-olds have won the Darby,
and honest men, Frenchmen or Englishmen, would prefer
to be above suspution.—Portniqgtly Review.
