quantity of wool in the market, as well as the fact that
foreign buyers do not, as a rule, purchase extensively at
this series, the biddings, generally speaking, have ruled
somewhat in active; nevertheless, all descriptions of wool
have fully supported the rates current at the close of May.
It will be remembered that the operations of foreign, chiefly
French buyers, last sales were very extensive, 50,000 bales
having during their progress been disposed of for export
purposes; consequently it is not anticipated that any consi-
derable quantity of wool will be taken this series for ship.

All wood—He had.
Mr. John Morley, of 11, Mercer-street, Long-acre, said—
On Saturday night I saw the prisoner indecently place his
hand on about a dozen different females, nearly knocking
one of them down. The prisoner ran into a public-house
in Air-street, a number of persons who had witnessed his
conduct followed, and hooted him. On the prisoner
coming out of the house he again insulted several more
females, at least a dozen, and I then spoke to a constable,
who took the prisoner in charge.

Mr Tyrwhitt—This conduct cannot be suffered to go on
in the streets. You will have to pay 20s or be committed
for 14 days' imprisonment.

of a cafe at 68, Haymarket, was charged with assaulting

peared for the complainants.
Leon Duchesue, a waiter at the cafe, said—Yesterday

Mr Iklafosse ask his son for some money. The son (the
prisoner) ,then struck his fatherand knocked him down and
smashed a iOoking-glass and other articled with his fist.
Mrs. Delafosse c,Ame upstairs, and the prisoner then said,
" There's ono for yon," and struck his mother in her face
and gave her a black eye.
Prisoner—l do not remember striking my mother. My
father asked me for a guinea from a gentleman who came
in with a female. I told him that there was 4s for straw-
berries, 5s for a bedroom, and 12s for a bottle of champagne,
and that I would give it him if he did not strike me, but he
struck me, and I defended myself,
Mrs Adele Delfosse—My son struck me in the face, giv-
ing me a Hack eye.
Mr Lewis—He has frequently Assaulted and abused you?

Mrs Delfoese—He has.
llr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for a month for
assaulting his mother, and fined him lOs or 14 days for
assaulting his father, and ordered to pay the damage and a
fine of £2 or six weeks.

SPORTING NOTES.

The meetings of last week at Nottingham, Southampton,
and Winchester, were attended with great success, in com-
parison with the suspicious doings at Liverpool in the
previous week. The Nottingham Meeting commenced
with the Trial Stakes, as usual, which was set for half-
past one, so as to accommodate those journeying from North
and South; but in consequence of the numerous " specials"
running, they were scarcely enabled to reesch the course in
sufficient time to witness the result, which but few regretted,
as but a trio out of the seven were induced tie facp The
Clown, who, from the exhibition he made of Mis;s Arm-
strong at Newcastle, giving her a year and a 71b bee Ling,
was made a rattling favourite at 2to 1. He landed withe ut
any difficulty by a neck. Contrary to expectation, a quar-
tette was found sufficiently confident to do battle with Cran-
bury, whose performance at Stockbriitge, Worcester, and
Liverpool at once stamped him a worthy succeesor to such
fliers as Lady Clifden, Nutbush, and Miss Julia; but,
curiously enough, the talent, overlooking his performance
with Hesper at Liverpool, made Dawdle, from a reputed
trial, his equal in the betting. Cranbury had every one in
difficuties a quarter of a mile from home, and won in a can-
ter by three lengths. The fielders had a turn given them
in the Brigade Handicap, Figaro, the selected of the talent,
playing but an indifferent second to Lord Uxbridge's Tyke,
who was friendless in the ring. For the Nottinghamshire
Handicap but five out of 14 coloured on the card were in-
duced to try conclusions with the mysterious Sir Roger,
whose advent and equally sudden disappearance from
the Northumberland Plato quotations are yet fresh
in the recollections of those who " rushed in where
angels fear to tread," and paid .for their temerity.
On this occasion, however, although his owner and
trainer were not present, Sir Roger was reported to re-
present the stable interest. With many his appearance and
style of action did not take, but, notwithstanding, he
speedily assumed the premiership in the betting, but appa-
rently outpaced from the start, he never took any prominent
part in the race, which was reduced to a match between
Welcome and Pearl Diver for the last quarter of a mile, the
former apparently having the best of it to within a few
strides of the chair, when he cracked, which enabled Mr
Brayley's colt to snatch the fiat of the judge by the shortest
of heads, and by so doing saved his owner's anonymous
correspondent any further trouble in carrying out his
threats, The Shorts, with the assistance of Rosebud and
Loates, was placed to the account of Mr Thompson, and 18
soya to the credit of the fund. Four met the starter for the
County Members' Plate, Loafer being made the favourite,
which he fully justified by disposing of his field without an
effort. There was a good race at Winchester for the
Citizen's Plato between North End (the favourite) and
Durham, which the former landed cleverly, the weight
telling on Lord Uxbridge's horse up the hill (and a tre-
mendous pull, by the way, that same hill is) and the weedy
looking son of Autocrat finding his account in that same.
Besides, 2st is something to give. Redcap made such
strong .play in the Hampshire Stakes that it looked at one
time as if Aurelian could not catch him, but he ran out at
the turn, and moreover got into difficulties coming up the
hill, and the question of Aurelian's reaching him was unex-
pectedly dismissed by Manrice unhandsomely coming up and
putting his pipe out as they reached the stand. There was
a great " pot" of Young King's in the winner of the Rail-
way Plate, Bow Bell, about whom fabulous reports were
rife as to his "trial," whatever that was—the said pot not,
fortunately, " boiling over," and the only long faces being
those of the unhappy people who failed to get " on " in the
tremendous rush made by the cognoscenti. The Grange
Park is always considered the bonne bouche of the meeting,
and though only seven appeared for it on this occasion,
which must be attributed to the dry weather and the " nurs-
ing" of those reserved for Goodwood, yet it brought the
Missionary, Shrapnell, and The Grappler among the number,
and promised a race, though Lord Portsmouth's colt was
looked upon as almost a certainty, despite a fear entertained
by some, and in which, we believe, his noble owner shared,
that he would prefer the distance a little longer. He is a
large horse and wants extending, but his jockey managed
him well and brought him away at once ; he was never
headed, and won by two lengths before The Grappler. We
spoke just now of the horse as still belonging to Lord Ports-
mouth, but though he ran in his colours it was his last
appearance in that character, Mr Pardoe having purchased
him two or three weeks since, though Lord Portsmouth, we
believe, had an interest in him until this race was run. So
he scored his first win in the " white and black belt," and
will, we fancy, prove a very good investment to his new
owner. He goes into Joseph Dawson's stable. The Queen's
Guineas only attracted Aurelian and Manrico, odds being
laid on the former, who made all the running until about
the middle of the hill, where Fordham brought
out Maurice and won a fine race by a length.
There were two days' excellent sport at Southampton on
Wednesday and Thursday. The Trial Stakes was thought
a good thing at first for The Dodo, as Brother to Isthmian
has been named, but the betting rather veered round after
Fordham had given him a canter.; He moved rather stiffly,
and Knight Templar was installed favourite at evens ; he
made all the running and won in a canter. The Cranbury
Park brought oat The Grappler, Lovelace, and Sydmonton
among the six starters, the first and last being the only two
backed. Sydmonton is a very neat-looking colt, but not
apparently with the action suitable for a hill, for ho could
make noway against Capt. Christie's colt, who beat him
easily. The Innkeepers' Plate saw an instance of a cutting
down of a field by Attraction rarely equalled ; she is always
quick on her legs when in form, we know, and she got off at
such tremendous pace that it was all over before they had
gone 200 yards. She cantered in ten or a dozen lengths ahead
of the string, who tailed off behind her in Indian file fashion
almost ludicrous to behold. The Maiden Two-year-old
Plate saw a great certainty in Birague upset by St. Vincent
a small though strong-lookingyoung one, formerly belong-
ing to George Fordham, who gave him away to Mr. Reid.
Ho is by Muejid out of Emotion, and won his race in gallant
style, Birague not getting near him ; Mr. Samuels claimed
him for Harry Goater. The South Western Stakes witnessed
an exhibition of plating form in the three starters,for two out
of the five coloured bolted when the flag was lowered, the
Parchment colt and Dareful ; and William Day's "pot,"
the Spasm colt, boiling over, the issue was left to Comet
and Knight Templar, the former, with the best of the
weights, winning rather easily. She was sold to Mr King
for 100 guineas. A but indifferent lot of youngsters put in
an appearance for the Nursery Handicap, May the only
winner among them. Ada turned round when the flag fell,
and was 'eft at the post. Rosette and May were alone in
it, and the former won easily; she is under young Ducker's
care, who has lately started as a trainer. On the second day
the Hampshire &takes produced no race,and Innellan walked
over. Much disappeintment was expressed at the walk over,
and there were grumb;ings at no portion of the added money
being given. We confess we think the conditions are rather
stringent. "Ten to acceem:' and four to start, or the public
money will not be added," seems close shaving. The ac-
ceptance has been a bad one of :ate years, and on this occa-
sion there were but four. We Mink the committee would
find it advantageous to relax a little this rather straight-
ened rule ; there would be a chance of a larger field. As
it was, only Pelios and Innellan were on the ground,
though Aunt Judy was expected; and inc Brayley declin-
ing to run his horse, Mr Wyndham and lee divided the
forfeits, and Innellan walked over. A new race got up yes-
terday fared no better. The Welter Handicap, for gentle-
men jockeys, furnished another of those disagreeable items
of racing returns : so it will be seen that we have not much
to tell. One class seemed not at all affected by the dull
aspect of the racing. The many-headed cared not for
walks over, small acceptances, and smaller fields, but enjoyed their annual holiday and the delicious weather in a
most unshackled manner. The Stand Plate brought out
eight runners, of which Gamecock was the favourite,
though Overstons and Deerfoot were backed for some
money ; but the last named got his head in front and kept
it there, despite an effort from Gamecock at the distance;
Overstone " cut it" at the hill, and North End was a de-
cent third, In the Stewards' Plate Eugenie scored her
maiden win without much difficulty against those opposed
to her, though giving them all the weight. She is a racing:
like King Tom, and seems to like a hill. Fordham got all
he could out of Ada, but she failed to reach the winner, who
had the race safe from the start.
Goodwood races commence to-morrow, and will occupy
nearly the whole of the week. The most important event
on the first day is the Stewards' Cup. It is seldom or ever
the best horse wins this race, as there are generally so
many false starts, and some horses getting away lengths in
advance of the others, it is almost unsafe to hazard an
opinion. However, those that strike me as the best in of
the top weights are Lady Clifden, Argonaut, and Queen of
Trumps; Saccharometar, Bertha, and Biondelia from the
middle weights; and Lucky Star, Balornock, and Madcap
' from the light weights; and if compelled to stand on
two it would be SACCHAROMETER and BERTHA, who are
both speedy animals, and the course will just suit them.
Blair Athol will be indulged with a walk over for the
Gratwick Stakes. The Ham Stakes of 100 soya each will
be won by Jack o' Lantern or Mr Merry's representative.
Wednesday's racing will be of more than usual importance,
as the Emden Stakes may bring out another Derby
favourite. Mr Merry has three engaged, viz., Zambesi,
Wild Charley, and Liddington, and whichever he pulls out
will win, unless Plantagenet, who is reported a flyer, should
prove successful.
The betting on the Goodwood Stakes has been completely
spoilt, in consequence of the light weight awarded to
Thalestris. The field will in all probability include the
following :
