SPORTING.
EPSOM RACES.—TILE DERBY DAY.
The attractions formerly attached to this annual
opening festivity have of late Increased, from the multi-
tudinous interests created in the mull from the numberless
lotteries, or " Derby ," which, though originating in
the metropolis, have ateaded their influence over the length
mid breadth of the land.
Despite the ill-omened augury of a previous rainy
night, the morning dawned with • protium to the holi-
day-makers of a Sns day, in the which to display their
beet gear, and be eyewitnesses of the equine contest,
in the result of which, either in pence, shillings, or pounds,
they had a direct interest. At an early hour, vehicles of all
charger, tom the donkey cart to the decent " White-
=gad the elegant Brougham, emerged from the
at huslidis 0 the metropolis—which localities their
Wised to indicate—and passed the renowned
and Omar on their way to Epsom Downs. In
the elm of equipage which used to grace this es-
swiss of the hens of the turf, there was this year a
nimillest dessilesee la point of number, and attractive-
ness—at least as we MEd this on the Downs, where,
though same thinned' eingrepeed in the ample space be-
tween the Red Henna and the Steward's Stand, and in all
these aiY width eseresand a view of the course,there waa a
shams at thus whose presence at once adorns, and 1
Ahab a faro wen every circle. We were told that the
tower of genera asp
entatens congregated exceeded that of
any preeione year. We that, es it may,. we are assured that
these naiabers did not supply the clammy created by the
abuses et that brilliant display of rank and fashion which
east was seppesed to be inhaeat to the occasion. True
it is that the Owed Mad me dead in every nook and
II corner, and was hampered the peseenoe of some few of the
elite, who are usually paced gUOse In • sport so truly English
as the turf.

was appalling, and many, I. seamma with ourselves, sought
the realisation of their wishes to meek Immo by another and

pair of good boon.—We have since learnt, that at the

the accident It was, indeed miraculous that the whole
of the railing was sot forced away by the museum of the
mob.
Arrived on the course, we found all the preparations far
the event of the day perfected. Anxiety wee at its utmost
pitch, and, while the home were saddled and paraded in
" the ring," curiosity, Interest, end admiration, vied for the
supremacy even in the minds of those who, like °armlets (and 1
thff were few), had so monetary titerer. in the (o,„aict.
The race was advertised for ',nylon, two, long bort,e
which hoar the mass of vio`..on had settled into such posi-
tions en their fancies diet:ad, the equestrian locating them-
solves on the hilll.ll order to witness the start, others non-
gragatinti " Tottenham Corner "—an interesting point of
the ramt, at which the winner may usually be selected out of
ionr or five—teat the majority stationing themselves either
in or so near the Grand Stand as possible, thereby obtaining
the two-fold advantage of seeing the preliminaries of the
race and its Bette. The crowd in this quarter was immense ;
and a fair proof of the soundness of the policy that led to the
saddling and other preliminaries on the course, end the re-
moval of the betting-ring from the bill to the Grand Stand
enclosure, was offered by the fact that the receipts at the
different stands were on a greatly increased scale.
In touching on the actual business of the day, and the
chief incidents arising from it, we must retire to the
Spread Eagle at Epsom, where the betting men usually con-
gregate for a couple of hours before they repair to the
Downs. Their number wen immense, and their rallying
point the most inconvenient imaginable—i. e., the area
in front of the inn, which, by some unaccountable caprice,
they prefer to the undisturbed accommo:ation of the sub-
scription room, opened for their special use and convenience.
The general betting wee not by any means heavy, it was re-
markable for the extreme eagerness with which Conyne-
ham wu backed, of course to the prejudice of The Cossack,
who declined to 5 to 1, his rival's closing price being only 4
to I. Between 12 and I the ring dispensed, to re-assemble
soon after within the enclosure of the Grand Stand, where,
amidst the Babel-like din that ever prevails on this occasion,
we collected that Conyngham gradually increased in favour,
and at the close was backed at • shade under 3to 1. dome
confusion arose from en unauthorised announcement having

been made in the ring that Old Port would not start. It was
not contradicted until within half an hour of saddling, mount-
ing, and cantering.
By the time the hones had proceeded to the post,
we had made a peregrination across the Downs to wittier
the "start," with the utmost regularity the eckeys brought
their 32 steeds to the starting-post, and without he slightest
hitch away they went ! For the malt of tlis race we refer

Tae banes reached the poet about twenty minutes before
three o'clock, and in five minutes after—not, as of yore,
after a dozen failures—were started at the 6nPaignal. Gab-
bier was the first to main running, bet in a few strides was
headed by Cossack, who went on with it at a strong pace,
Gabbier waiting on him, followed by Conyngham and Vier
gees; Epirote, Wanota, Mirmillo, and two or three others,
lying next, and in the centre Van Tromp, Limestone, Halo,
Mr. Martin, and Bingham. Minnillo and Gabbier lost
their pieces at the top of the hill, and, at the commence-
ment of the turn, Wanota was beaten, and War Eagle
bad taken his place next Cossack, Conyngham lying
third; Halo, Van Tromp, Limestone, Bingham, and Mr.
Martin were also in the front rank, but not near enough to
the two leaden to flatter their backers with the slightest
eleiene et winning. Oa craning the road Conyngham was
lastsa, sad Van Tromp became third, lying about two
bastlts flora War Eagle, Cossack now leading a eear length ;
they ran than to the half distance, where War Eagle made
• gallant effort and for a moment got to Cossack's shoulder,
but was disposed of opposite the stand, and beaten cleverly
by • length. Van Tromp Et:tailed a very bad third, Mr.
Martin was fourth, followed past the chair by Halo, Lime-
stone, and Conyngham, in what order, from the prevalence
of yellow jackets we dare not attempt to specify. The race
was run in 2 min. 62 sec.

declined to do so, end considered them quite es mis

(penny received.—The Recorder expressed an opinion that
this endorse put an sod to the charge of obtaining the goods
by false pretence'. If the witness was to be believed, no false
pretenses had been made sae of.—Mr. Ballantine admitted
that it was a question for the jury whether this
witness spoke the truth.—The Recorder mid that
the witness was called on behalf of the prosecu-
tion, and the jury ought not to be called upon to be-
lieve one portion of his statement and disbelieve the re-
mainder.—Mr. Solomon, in answer to further questions put
to him, said he had carried on the business of a merchant in
the City of London for twenty years, and that it was a
very common ecosuvenee for money to be advanced upon
goods in this manner, He produced a written agreement
allowing that the goods in question were to have been shipped
to Hamburg by the first vessel, and there disposed of, and
the proceeds, deducting the 651. that had been advanced,
were to have been handed over to the defendants.—The
Recorder expressed his opinion that the case had not been
made me, and under his direction, the jury returned a ver-
dict of Not Guilty.

THIRD COURT.—Before Mr. Commissioner itallock.

quently attacked her with a table-knife, and in warding off
the blow aimed at her breast she received lent across the band,
and she received other injuries from the effects of which she
was confined in the hospital a fortnight.—The prisoner ex-
pressed deep contrition for the offence, end urged the drink
as having occasioned it.—The mother said that when sober

, breed the prisoner to abstain from drink, as by it many a

MARYLEBONE.—A eat.ofttous 01.71131.—Ami Roberts
was charged with having assaulted end robbed Mrs Ellen
kl• Donald, of Great Chesterfteld.street, Marylebone. On
the previous night, as prosecutriz, who had been with seine
friends, and was not quite sober, was returning home, she
missed her way, and meeting with the prisoner, inquired of
her the proper road to her residence. Prisoner accompanied
her a short distance and then knocked her down, when she
snatched bee silk scarf from her shoulders, and ran off. A
cry of stop thief"' was raised, and she (prisoner) was al-
most immediately afterwards captured by Thornton, 1091)
with the stolen article in her poesesion ; she had it malted
under her shawl. She was committed for trial.

C LE MEER W ELL —C RlTe.—Yesterday a letter was
forwarded to this court containing 21, for the poor-box from
M. F. ;" the beoevoleot donor requesting en acknowledg-
ment of its receipt in the newspapers.
WORSHIP-STREBT.—D ter sus TN n Canes.—Yesterday
the Rev. Mr. De Grouchy, minister ef St. Philip's Church,
Bethnal-green, accompanied by another district clergyman,
waited upon Mr. Broughton, upon behalf of • poor man
named Cooper, to prefer a complaint of neglect and inatten-
tioo against the poor-law authorities of that parish. Mr.
Christey, the relieving-overseer of Bethnal-green,also attended
to meet the charge. The cue was first brought under the
magistrate's notice by the rev, gentleman a few days since,
who then stated that, in the exercise of his ministerial tune-
tins, he had been called to attend the sick bed of the man
Cooper, whom he found not only labouring under extreme
physical suffering, but in a state of utter wretchedness and
destitution. The only persons in attendance upon him were
one of his daughters, a perfect ideot, who was squatting down
by the aids of his bed, and a poor women living in the house,
who, though herself in great distress, had neglected her
own family in order to afford them what little service the
could. Finding that no mei/canes whatever had been given
by the with, he addressed a letter to the chairman of the
board of guardians, calling his attention to the case, but no
notice had been taken of his communication, and, as the poor
man was evidently in a dangerous state, he felt it his imps.
reties duty te lay the matter before the magistrate fur his
consideration. Mr. Broughton thereupon directed Rowland,
the warrant off:me, to make immediate inquiries into the
subject, and report to him the result; and Rowland now
stated that his inquiries had entirely confirmed the descrip.
tion given by the rev. complainant, and that upon visiting
the fismily, be found the man Cooper in such want, wretched-
neu, and illness, that he did not appear likely to survive the
day. He immediately weal to Mr. Christey, the relieving
ffi c oer, and estimated his speedy attention to the case, when
that person informed him that he had received expras di-
rections from the union board on no account to attend to
any case that was brought under his notiee by the district
clergy ; but that if any member of a distressed fatally
thought proper to make a demand for relief it should,
he promptly attended to. He (Rowland) in consequence re-
towed to Cooper's house, and directed one of his relatives
to call upon Mr. Chriatey, and he accordingly made the ne-
cessary application on the preceding evening, and was told
by the relieving-officer that he would visit them forthwith ;
but, although this promise had been given, he found, upon
going there again that morning, that the overseer had not
Miled, and nothing had yet been done for them. Elisabeth
Butler, the poor woman above alluded to, mid that
Cooper and his unfortunate daughter had been for the
last eleven weeks under her charge, and that, although
the parish had been several times applied to during
that time, they had murdered no assistance to the family, who
were suffering frost enema want end illness, and tar whose
support she had Mimi* the habit of receiving eisig3:=

SOUTHWAHIL—AhutOsti Amur TO )(DROSS.—
J. Morrie was brought before Mr. Cottingham for re-exemina-
den, charged with firing a loaded pistol at Francis Mary
Morris, tie wife, with intent to kill her.—Mrs. Mary
Modell stated that she lives in Albiomplace, Walworth,
and that un Friday evening last, while engaged in her
back parlour, she heard a loud scream, and in a moment
afterwards the complainant rushed into the passage, the
street doer being open, and exclaimed that she had been fired
at by her husband. She was very much agitated, and the
prisoner entered the house a minute afterwards, and on
bearing what his wife mentioned said he did not do anything
of the kind, but merely snapped his fingers. He tried to
prevail upon his wife to leave the house, and threatened
to have • policeman if she did not, but she refused,
saying that she was afraid he would murder her,
and be then left the place. Afterwards a policeman
did come into the house, and the complainant then went
away. The witness added that she also saw Mn. Staples,
who was with the complainant, and she also seemed very
much alarmed, and spoke of the prisoner having fired • pis-
tol at his wife. In answer to Mr. Cottinghme, the witness
said she heard no report of • pistol previously to the scream
—the her street door was open, and that she thought see
should have heard the report a pistol had been discharged.
A crowd soon collected near her house, and the prisoner sud-
denly disappeared in the midstof the confusion that occurred;
the prisoner wore a white blouse. She did not see any
weapon in his possession. The prisoner here exclaimed that
on hearing his wife scream he went into the house to see
what was the matter with her, and never imagined that she
would have accused him of attempting to shoot her—
that he n thought of perpetrating such an act.—
Policeman 37 P stated that he was called off his beat on
the evening in question, and on entering Mrs. Übsdell's
house, he saw the complainant, who seemed very much
frightened; she told him that her husband had fired • pistol
at her, that he bad run away, and she implored him to see
her home, in case he should make another attempt to injure
her. He accompanied the complainant and Mrs. Staples,
both of whom appeared alarmed and agitated all the way,
and kept looking behind every motnern., as if they dreaded
some injury. He did not see the prisoner at all on that oc-
cation, nor did he hear the report of any tire-arms, although
he was not far off when the alleged firing took place. The
magistrate called the complainant forward, and said that,
having heard the witnesses, none of whom heard the report
of a pistol, he wished to know whether she still persisted in her
statement that her husband had discharged a pistol at her
head. The complainant answered in tke affirmative; and, in
reply to further questions, she said that she thought it must
be a pistol he fired at her, but she did not see it; she low a
flash, and did not think it was produced by the sudden igni-
tion of lucifer-matches. She did not go to the station-house
to make known the occurrence, she was se agitated, but she
mentioned it to her father when he returned home the same
, eight —Mrs. Staples wee examined, and said she heard the
, report of the pistol and saw the flash, and that she pre-
, viously saw the pri.orter pull forth something, which she be-
. tiered to be a weapon of that description.—Mr. Gardner
stated that the complainant was his daughter, and that when
; he returned home on Friday night she immediately informed
him that she had been shot at by her !unbend, and he lost
, no time in giving the necessary information of the filets at
the station-house.—Mr. Cottingbam said the prisoner was at
liberty to say anything he wished in answer to the charge.—
The prisoner: Mr. Gardner, my father-in-law, has often
threatened not to stop until he contrived to have me put
in prison. This charge is trumped up for that purpose. I
never fired • pistol at my wife. I snapped my fingers at
her, and that is all, and she and Mrs. Staples have magnified
it into an attempt to shoot her. If I had fired at her I should
have attempted to escape after the act, but I did no such
thing. I followed my wife to the house where she and her
companion ran, and the same night I passed up end down
Newington-causewsy ; and, therefore, if I was guilty of such
an offence, it is not likely I should have acted in that way.—
Mr. Cottingham: It is given in evidence that you did run
away when you saw matters becoming serious, snd people
beginning to collect near the spot. —The prisoner: There
, was • warrant issued against me previously on the com-
plaint of my wife's father, and not wishing to be taken
into custody on that proems, that was the reason I ran
away, fearing they would give me in chiviee to a
• policeman. I also wrote a letter to my wife on Saturday
, (the day after the alleged offence), deemthing that I had not
attempted such an act as she accused me of, and it is not
probable I should have written to her at all if I was a guilty
man. The complainant admitted that she bad received a
note from the prisoner on the day mentioned, and that he
did not mention in it where be lived ; but the bearer of it
being followed, by that means his plate of residence was
, ascertained, which led to his being taken into custody.—Mr.
Cottingham said that it was vary extraordinary no person
I had come forward who had heard the report of • pistol on
the night in question, although several people were about at
the time. Mr. Cottingham, after commenting on the eri-
, denee at ooeaiderable length, said, under all the dream-
. stance., be should remand the prisoner in order to give
further time to collect evidence.
