PI6EON RACE FROIL DOVER TU LONDON.—
Yekerday morning a pigeon-flying match took place, in
which twelve London pigeon fanciers agreed to fly a
pigeon race home from Dover for a sweepetake of one
guinea each. The pigeons were tossed tip at stipulated
periods at intervals of five minutes. and on their fa-rival
home were produced at Southwark-bridge. The bird
found to have accomplished the journey in the least time
was declared to be the winner. The quickest pigeon. a
blue akinum, the property of Mr. H. Brooks. performed
the route in two hours and six minutes. the second pigeon
occupied two hours and eleven minutes, and two other
birds came the distance in two and a quarter hours. The
distance is about eighty miles, and the winning pigeon
must have flown at the rate of one mile in one and a half
minute. The weather was hazy, the air heavy to fly
through, and a drizzling rain impeded the progress of the
Pigeons.

The body of a wan in an advanced stage of
decomposition was found among the trees in Chesnut-
wood, at Borden, Kent, on Tuesdav evening. It was
identified a, the corpse of a shepherd, whose disappear-
ance a few weeks ago caused some excitement in the
neighbourhood. It is thought lie died of exhaustion.

SURREY AND MIDDLESEX v. ENGLAND.
" iustee " 1111113,Tr YAWN.
Nothing could have been more unpropitious than the
weather yesterday morning. Rain fell during the whole
night, and continued mire or low heavily up to about
11 o'clock, when the clouds " lifted" a bit, and a couple
of hours later the sun shone through. The ground was,
however, to wet and slippeiy, and the whiltets were so
"roildraed," that any attempt to play at the advertised
time was entirely out of the qua-tam—so, although the
rain kept of, it was determined not to commence opera-
tions until half-past three, at which time the bell runs/stud
the sti ouud was cleared. Sawdust ad libitand was useilubout
the wickets, the foothold being wretchedly bad. Hum-
yyhtey and Jupp took perversion of the wicket', the former
mg made 2 overnight. Willeher began the bowling
for England, and off the third ball Humpluoy made a
tingle to the on side. He then got two twos and several
Aught', amounting to eleven, while Jupp only booked a
single. Then Humphreys elevated a ball of Mr. Grace's,
which Silcock ran to from mid-on and secured—one for 11.
Jupp, who had been in nearly three-quarters of an hour
for a single, at length got Mr. Grace down to the Press
tent for four, which brought out • cheer, and Pooley made
• couple of threes. It was the pursuit of cricket under
difßculties. A cut for five caused a great clapping of
hands, and 30 were telegraphed. Jupp was shortly after
given out leg before wicket, he having been altogether
an hour at wickets for eleven runs--two for 36. Mr.
I. D. Walker now faced the Surrey wicket-
keeper, who, however, had to retire without
addiug to his more, as Mr. Grace gave him ono a little too
good, bowling down his off stump—three for 36. Another
wicket (Mr. Greets) went with the first ball from
Wilhher—four for 36. Then came Mr. V. E. Walker to
the retcue; the light was again indifferent, Willeher wise
bowling well, as usual, but of amen got no help whatever
from the ground. Mr. I. D. Walker cut Mr. (trace
finely for three, and then he nearly played a hail
"on." Mr. V. •E. Walker placed a ball of Mr.
(lace's well on the slips, and then that gentle-
MD retaliated by bowling his off stun five for 49.
The game was now in an interesting phase, exactly
half the runs for a moiety of the wickets. Her. Stephen-
eon went in and effected an off-drive for 2 from Mr.
Grace. It was Mr. I. D. Walker's fate to dispatch himself.
as an over or two later heplayed a ball of Willsher's on—six
for 51. Hearne drove Willsher bravely to the off, the
ball being finely fielded by Summers, and Southerton just
saved his wicket. He then had a cheer for a good
drive for 3 from Mr. Grace and another for a 4 from
ll Wieher, which he propeLeed to leg. He did all the
batting just now, Ins next effort producing 3 from
• grand crack to square leg ; this, however, was
too hot to lust, for Ileanie in doing Mr. Grace in
his favourite wiry, was very well caught by Silcock, who
was lying deep—even for la; the next man in was Grif-
fith, but after making a couple, Willeher bowled his wicket
" all over " eight for 72. litephenson's defensive quali-
ties were again brought into requisition ; then he drove
Willsher straight for 2, and Southerton drove Mr. Grace
to the off, and the next ball to the on—each for 2. The
game now became exciting, and every hit was cheered;
80 went up. The Sussex man got a 2 bard on the on side
from Mr. (}race. Windier bowled several good overs,
and they were well " played," and six ovens were bowled
for a siugle run. Southerten got a single from Mr. Grace
made with a 2 by an overthrow-90 up. (Cheers.)
Southerton batted admirably, but Mr. Grace got at
Stephenson's leg stump when eight were wanted to win.
Steplienson'a was a most patient innings of 13, for which
he was at wickets an hour and twenty minutes. Hewitt
"cracked " Mr. Grace to long on, but Charlwood, strange
to ray, missed the catch, and two were booked intdeatt ;
he made also a single off the next ball. The shouting
and clapping of hands was tremendous when he got a
two to leg. He then made the winning hit, a very fine
off drive from Mr. Graec; and so the " Counties" won
thin fine match by one wicket, amidst great excitement.
The spectators endeavoured to hoist Southerton arid
Hewitt on their shoulders, and the cheering lasted for
some time. Southertou's not out 11 was a isipital inniugs;
and too much credit cannot be given to Howitt, who
went in "on the pinch" to win the match, and "brought
it off." The bowling reads thus, Wilisher's figures being
remarkable, to wit :-44 overn, 28 maidens, 28 runs,
4 wickets. W. G. Grace : 44 over,, 14 maidens, 67 runs,
5 wickets :

OR:NieleAl CRIMINAL COURT.

•
(Before Mr. Justine Lnsh.)
Asko Bemis, a private in the Soots I Loafs
surrendered to take his trial for manslaughter.
Mr. F. 11. Lewis prntecuted ; Mr. Itibton defended the
prisoner, who, by hie advice, pleaded guilty to the charge.
Mr. Justice Lush raid he had read the depositions, and
it appeared to him that it was not a case that called for
puuudinient. The decciiied appeaied to have okallenged
the prisoner to fight and he declined, and endeavoured to
gut away from Tam, and the deceased went utter him.
Re did not find there was any evidence that the prison.er
had kicked the deceased, and, although the blow he struck
might have aoceleiated his death, he t`..ought that justice
would be satisfied by his ordering the prisoner to be fur-
ther confined for anhour. •
The effect of this sentence, of course, was that the
prisoner was discharged.
Witham C6ok, 21, wan charged with the manslaughter
of Hobeit Blackett.
Mr. E. I'. Wood prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalf Wlll counsel
for the defence. .

The prisoner was the driver of a pleamire van, mid ou
the llith of July be wee on his way home with two other
vehicles of the same description, when, according to the
ewe fur the prosecution, the prisoner attempted to piss
the other two vehicles, and in doing no he ran against the
deceased, who was wheeling a barrow by the side of the
road, and knocked him down and ran over anal killed
him. It waa urged on behalf of the prisoner that he wits
not driving fast at the time of the accident, but that, at
the moment he was paining ono of the other vans, a band
that was in it suddenly commenced playing, end fright-
ened his horses, and that this was the cause of the mis-
chief.

The learned judge intimated hie opinion that, upon
the facts before the court, the.cavo aviitmed more the
Perm of an accident than a criminal act, and the jury
(oak the eame view of the matter, and returned a verdict
of Ad

Joke Cravireaua, 49f tailor, was chiogerl with felonionsly
attempting to murder his wife, Mary Crurnmens, by.throw-
ing her out of a window.
Mr. Harris prosecuted.
The prisoner and his wife occupied a back room on the
third floor of a house in James-street, Oxford-street, and
on the night named in the indictment screams were
heard issuing from the prironer's room in a woman's
voice, and also cries of " Murder!" and " For
Clod's sake, don't!" Almost immediately afterwards
the preeeeutrix came out of the window head foremost,
and she fell upon the leads underneath, a distance of 19
feet. Immediately the woman fell the window wan shut,
and an alarm was given,
_and the police went to the pri-
soner's room and knocked at the door. After some time
the prisoner opened the door, and the room was found to
be in great disorder, and there was a great deal of blood
on the floor. The prisoner was thea asked where his wile
was, and he said he did not know. He was then charged
with having thrown his wife out of the window, and he
replied that he was innocent. The effect of the fall
upon the unfortunate woman was to dislocate her left
hip, break keverul of her ribs, and came her other serious
inpiries, and her body was covered with bruise., either by
rough handling or by blows from some blunt instrument.
At first it appeared that she was considered in danger, but
she was now ccnvalereent.

The statement made by the prisoner before the magis-
trate was to the effect that when he went home he found
hie wife drunk, and he locked the door and went to bed,
and he did not know that she was out of the window till
the police came. lie now told the mane story in hie
defence.

The jury found the prisoner Gallfg of committing the
act with intent t& commit murder.

It was stated that on a previous occasion the prisoner
had made another attempt to throw his wife out of the
window.

The priscner wag fientenced to 2.1) year° penal servitude.
(Before the Recorder.)

Francis :Varian, a respectably dressed man, wu indicted
for stealing four sheep.
Mr. Poland and Mr. Besley conducted the prosecution ;
and Mr. Montagu Williams and Mr. Straight were for the
defence.

Upon this charge the jury returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
The prisoner was then indicted for stealing twelve sheep
on the 16th July.
Mr. John Court, a cattle dealer, of Northampton, was
the prosecutor in this case as well as in the last, and it
appeared that on the morning of the 16th of July, at 7
o clock, his shepherd counted fiT sheep, including a
number of white-faced ones, in the field which was hired
from-Mr. Taylor. Next morning, on again counting the
sheep, the shepherd found that twelve were missing. The
evidence connecting the prisoner with the robbery was
to the effect that he-end .his eon were seen in the field
about noon on the 16th July ; that they drove some sheep
towards the gate of the field, and that they were after-
wards seen driving 12 white-faced sheep by a circuitous
route to Southall. It was also proved that the prisoner
requested permission from the landlady of a public-house
to drive the sheep through a field by a private way, but
wee not allowed to do so, and that on the morning of the
17th he sold the carcases of several sheep in Newgate-
market. The prisoner was apprehended on the charge on
the 'Mb of July.
On the part of the defence, two witnesses were called.
The first was the prisoner's son, a boy, who stated that a
week before the 16th, his father bought 30 sheep, that
some of them were killed from time to time, that there
were 16 remaining on the 15th of July, and that they were
turned out to some building-ground at the back of the
house from which they were missed on the morning of the
16th. He proceeded to date that the butcher in his
father's employment went to look for them, but did not
succeed, and that afterwards he and his father went in
search of them. They went, he said, into Taylor's field,
but did not find any of the missing sheep there, and they
did not drive any away ; they then went into a lane
close by, where they did find some of the sheep, and others
they found a little farther on. Among them were some
black-faced ones. This evidence was partly corroborated
and partly contradicted by the butcher who first went
in search of the sheep. He deposed to fifteen sheep
being missed, and to their being brought back by the
prisoner and his son in the afternoon of the 16th July,
but he said that the whole of them were white-faced, and
that they did not form any part of the 30 which had
been bought in the previous week, as these had all been
taken direct to the slaughter-house and killed.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict
of Guilty.
The Recorder, in passing sentence upon the prisoner,
who, it we. stated, had only been in the neighbourhood
for about seven months, said it was impossible to have
come to any other conclusion than that which had been
arrived at by the jury, and the case was aggravated by
the prisoner calling his son to tell a story he knew to be
false. The sentence upon him was that he be kept in
penal servitude for five years.
