DOW-sTatrr.

Yesterday Ninny Kelly, apparently about 40 years of age,
underwent an examination before Thomas Halls, Esq. the
Midair Magistrate, charged with maliciously stabbing Ed.
ward Duffey with a knife, and thereby endangering ►i. life.
It appeared that on Monday night Duffey and his wife
were at the Primmer 's lodgings in Church-street, St. Glee's;
they quarrelled together, and the Primmer desired Duffey to
go out of the room, obreateaisg to slab him if be dbl sot;
Duffey left the room directly. but owing to some aggravat-
lag expression used by the Prisoner be returned, and was
entering the room, wheat the Primate snatched up a clop
knife which was lying on a table, and stabbed ►in is the fore
part of his left shoulder. Daffey's wife immediately gave
the alarm and the Prisoner was taken into custody by Ellis,
one of the conductors of doe patrol belonging to the este.
blishmeat, and by him conveyed to the watchbouse, where
she was secured fur the night.
The poor man, Duffey, was taken to Middlesex Hospital,
wb,,rs eve►y attention that his sitsstion required was ren-
dered him ; he is, however, at present in a very precarious
state, being much weakened by the elation of blood, which
was considerable. The following is a copy of the certificate
from the Hospital, which was produced to the Magistrate:
" I certify that Edward Dudley was brought is here last
eight with a deep stab in the fore port of his left shoulder,
■tad, though it is hoped be may ultimately do well, it is im-
possible at present to give a d.cided opinion on the subject.

" Micidl;sexHiciepital, June 18, 182 t."
The Prisoner appeared quite unconcerned, and when re-
minded by the Magistrate of the serionseees of the charge
substantiated against her, she answered with the realest
indifference, that she did nut stab the man, and they could
not hurt ber.--hhe was remanded until Friday neat.

nem DAY VII t le.
Lim*, Horst this day inhibited a most pletteintslose of
elegantly-dressed females of beauty and fashion, with Wen_
did equipages, but by no means so numerate as we have
noticed no former occasions. The day was particularly (A-
rnim-able, and the scene was greatly enlivened by most of
the •isitors blending with their sporting visit an aquatic ex-
cursion. A Gentleman (alio we are given to understand is
Major Moore, and brother to G I Moore) had his
pocket picked of a valuable gold watch and appendages,
but the rieliaquest being caught in the fact, was lodged in the
cage at Hampton. We are happy to add that no accidents
happened, but lament to state that the sub,criptioo for the
Gold Cup did not fill, consequently an race for it took plate.
The only rate wet for t►e Clarence Makes. which afforded
twp most admirably contested heats. A full detail of each
beat will be found below.

fine meaning between the three when Monk won the first
beet by Iwo lengths is good style. Cardenio opiates the
field ; 2 to 1 eget Legal Tender; 2 to 1 agat Moak ;
and 3in 1 apt Philip. The second best Carelemio
made play, and was followed close to the heels by Legal
Tender, who took the lead, when be was afterwards com-
pelled to surrender li' Philip, but within the last half•mile
it wen very difficult to ascertain to which to give the

digging soil flanking was the order of the day, and Monk,
rude by Snowy, won the stakes, beating Cardeuto, rode by
Dockery. Though Cardeniu lost the first beat, some were
so prepossessed as to bet 2 to 1 on him •pieta the field.
Prior to the second heat the betting even between Munk aid

Very little betting.
