THE GOOD A. 0( )i) MEETING.

3IARLBRCY-SI'REE lIIS DAY.)
ASSAULT BY A SOLDIER.—Juseoli Brown, a private
soldier, belonging to the Scotch Fusileer Guards, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, charged with
violently assaulting pelice-cunstable Amur, 232 A., while
4n the execution of his duty.
The constable, whose eyes were much swollen and
bruised, deposed that abut half- past nine o'clock on the
previous eight he was on divy in Hyue-park, aid bed
two women in charge for annoying gentlemen in the
park, when the prisoner carne up and attempted to rescue
them from his custody. Cenzelsmant resisted, and a.
length the prisoner euccet-ded in rescuing one of the
women, who ran away. Witness foilewed her ID A.
took her again, when the priiotier came up
to him again and said, " Oh, you, give
fa play," and attempted to kick him on the
lower pert of his pers. n, Witness fortunate!,
avoided the contemplated iojury, tied told the
prisoner he was a p dice-constable, and on duty. Pre
Boner replied he did not Care a who he was, and
Truck him a feartul blow betwe..ti M. eyes, which felled

to his ttsistance; the prisoner, who utfered great resist

The sergeant of the company to which prisoner be-
longed, said prisoner was quiet enough when sober, but
when he was drunk he was exc:-edoogly violent. He
(Prisoner) received ten days' imprisonment fur the like
offence a short time since.
Mr. UARDWICK, in congideration of the punishmen

LITERATURE.
MICHAUD'S HISTORY OF THE CRU-
SADES. Translated from the French by W.
Robson. Vol. 11. Routledge.
This volume contains accounts of the fourth, fifth,
sixth, and seventh crusades. It is very desirable for
Many to possess a history of those important wars in
the English language, and thus these volumes will
bdoubtless prove very acceptable. It is to be regretted,
svever, as the tran-lator remarks, that the cele-
rated author allows petty jealousy to interfere with
the records of universal history. No,withstanding
these drawbacks, a very good general idea of the
crusades may be formed from this publication.

.FE OF MARLBOROUGH. By C. Mac-
farlane. Routledge.
In tbis little volume we meet with the account of
the life and deeds of Marlborough, in a condensed

Present bur manysyge generation. It is advantageous, cer-
to gain a knowledge, however
isftimary, of the career of so distinguished a man. It
pfreeseausYt to purchase and to peruse a work like the

The 500 sous Stakes, over the mile and a half course,

culties, and rendering it necessary to pile every foot of
the road. This work was performed by steam pile-
drivers at the rate of 250 feet it day in the easiest parts.
While at other places, where longer piles were required,
not more than 58 or 60 feet forward could be done in the

there :are 26 uutniention, including King Pepin,
Longbow, elaverheiuse, The Nabob, Had Hind,
Houlukin, Father Thanes, and Hesperus. The
Ham Stakes has thirty-eight nenainalons, end is
unusually dark, the public runners -engaged in it
having proved moderate in the txueitne; VaniierdtckTa
and Constentine, both of whom have been backed hea-
vily far- the Derby, are the must formidable on paper.
The great 300 sovs. Stakes, with eleven subscribers, is
hft to Midas, Croupier. Newminster, and Harpsichord;
a 50 sovs. Stake, nine Subs., to Stockwell or Harbinger;
and the Levant Stakes, nineteen Subs., as far as public
running can be taken as a guide, to the Sister to Muun
tain Deer (6lb extra) and Hybla (31b extra).
The principal feature of the seeenrl day •will be the
Goodwood Stakes, the handicap for which produced a
larger 'acceptance than usual anti will ensure a great'
field. The Drawing Reom Stakes, with twelve nomina-
tions, looks like-a mewl between Little Harry and'
Stockwell, and the latter is unlikely to have any other
opponent than Ileulekin far the 300 sovs. •Post Stakes:.
