TATTERSAL'S.-MONDAY.

It was hoped that the rapid and general thaw would
give a new aspect of interest to the race meetings adver-
tised to take place this week, and that fresh spirit would
conßequently be infused into speculation. The chances
in favour of the Liverpool meeting being held on Fri-
day next apparently amounted to a certainty ; in the
course of the morning, however, numerous bets—not a
few of which were doubtless made "from signal or in-
dication"—were most industriously laid against it. In
the early part of the afternoon the fact that a further
postponement bad been deemed necessary was announced
at Tattersall's, which we were enabled to announce to
the public in the whole of the impression of The Sun of
yesterday. The " Official Letter," addressed by the
clerk of the course to our reporter, was as follows :
" Liverpool, Sunday, Feb. 25, 1855, 7 P.M.
Dear Sir—Lord Sefto❑ has further postponed the
Liverpool Spring Meeting until Wednesday, the 7th
of Marcb.—Yours truly, E. W. TOPHAM."
By this arrangement all bets made up to the above
date as to the result of the race are void, and all bets
made after the above date as to the meeting taking
place within the current week must also be void, for in
all bets there must be a possibility for both parties to
win when the bet is made, or, in other words, "you
cannot win when you cannot lose." With the new fix-
ture betting on the events begins anew.
The day now fixed upon for holding‘the Liverpool
Meeting will clash most injuriously with the opaning
day of the Nottingham Meeting, more than one-half of
the number of horses having engagements at each place.
The clerk of the course at Liverpool will, therefore,
best consult the interests of this meeting by altering, if
possible, the appointment, to either Monday, the 6th,
or Friday, the 9th.

The pAncipal transactions to-day were with regard to
Rambling Katie for tho City and Suburban, the Yore
for the Great Northern Handicap, and St. Hubert for
the Two Thousand and Derby. Each was strongly sup-
ported, and at the close had an advancing tendency.
It will be seen from the subjoined list of quotations
that, for both the Two Thousand and the Derby, Lord
of the Isles experienced a decline ; at one time as much
as 6 to 1 was laid against him for the former event, and
just before the clos,e of buFiness 13 to 1 was betted to
300/. against him for the latter. Wild Dayrell was in
good demand, and Rambling Katie was backed for up-
wards of 1501., at 50 to 1, 400 to 100 was taken about
Scott's " lot."

POLIO' INTELLIGENCE—Feb. 2G.

GUILDHALL.—Robert Newman, was charged with
being unlawfully in possesSion of a door plate.
It appeared that the prisoner and another man were
observed by a police-officer walking together, and on
Stopping the former to inciiiire what he had in a basket
which be was carrying on his head, his companion ran
away. The prisoner was taken to the station, and in
his basket was found a large brass door-plate, on which
were migraven the words "The Oak Mutual Life Assur-
ance Association." •

Mr. Timms, the accountant to the London and County
Assurance Company, said the plate produced belonged
to the company he represented, as it formed part of the
assets of the late " Oak Society," which they purchased
on that Association becoming defunct-.
The prisoner was then remanded, as it was suspected
that he was connected with a gang who have been in-
strumental in the disappearance of numerous door plates
in the city, some of which have been valued as high as
from 501. to 60i. each.

MARLBOROUGEI-ST ItEET.— Mary Crossley and
William, Sullivan were charged with obta;ning mosey
from Mr. Evelyn, M.P.,: Bennett-street, by false and
fraudulent pretences.
Tho prisoners, wbcrare well known to the IViendicity
Society's officers as members of a gang of begging•letter
impostors, were each committed for three months.

George Melfor was sent to prison for three months,
for going. about collecting alms under the pretence that
he had just come from the Crimea, and had been
wounded in the Terrible.:

Mathilde Vanclerplaae, Cathertne Atolller, and Janet
Moulton, natives of Germany, were charged before Mr.
Yardley with smuggling.

It appeared that on S"atorday the General Navigation
Company's steamer Rhine arrived at Blackwell from
Ostend, and Dean, a tide surveyor, noticing something
unusual about the prisoners' appearance, gave them over
to a female searcher, who found about 401bs. of foreign
anufactured tobacco padded into the petticoats worn by
Hach of the prisoners. The petticoats were fastened to
the body by straps.
The prisoners informed the magistrate that when
they were at Ostend they were accosted by a man who
offered to pay their passage to England and back, tad
give them a small sum of money, if they would carry
over the tobacco in the petticoats, which be showed
them how to put on. The man promised to meet them
on their arrival in London.

Mr. Yardley, who seemed inclined to give credit to
the statement, said that other cases of a similar descrip-
tion had come before him, where foreign women had
been entrapped into the commission of smuggling. There
was reason to believe an extensive and organised system
of smuggling was being carried on. The women, if
there story was true, were to be pitied, but he was
obliged to inflict a penalty in each case of 1001„ or six
months' imprisonment. The whole matter deserved
investigation.
