SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.—TitURSDAY.
The card for this afternoon, barring the Chesterfield
Stakes, which is a species of second edition of the July,
presented a vast contrast to that of yesterday, and it is
clear that the fourth day is a mistake. Still, the desire to
witness the third performance of the quondam Derby
favourite, the Scottish Chief, caused the ;attendance to be
both good and fashionable, and the hotelkeepers declare
they never recollect a better July week. The field for the
Chesterfield Stakes was better than anticipated, and, as the
course was shorter than the July, and involved no 'dip, the
Chief's followers rallied, and laid 6to 4 kindly on him. At
starting Little Gentleman led the lot for some .little way,
when he was passed by Becky Sharpe, Crytheia, and
Washington. These held the lead to the middle of the
plantations, when the crack assumed a more forward posi7
tion, and, shakirg off Crytheia's challenge, won cleverly
enough to satisfy his best friends, and over a flat course we
imagine he will be found more dangerous than he was this
afternoon. When the belting-ring was re-formed he re-
turned to his original price for the Derby, and the only
other movements of note in the market were the upward
tendencies of Anfield for the Goodwood Stakes, and Bar-
chettina for the Liverpool Cup. The Tomato case is con-
sidered as virtually disposed of.

The Supposed Murder in or near Gower-

street,

Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester resumed, at
the Lord Wellington, University-street, the inquiry
as to the death of a man who was previously un-
known, but who has since 'nen identified as Michael
Quinn, a mason's labourer, aged 45, and who was
found in Gower-street, shortly after 12 o'clock on
the night of Saturday, the 27th ult., in a state- of
insensibility, and such frightful injuries inflictod
upon his person as to leave no doubt but that he hack
been the victim of the most frightful ill-usuage.
It will be remembered, that the deceased man was
seen by an omnibus conductor, named Webb, to fall
off the steps of No, 86 or 87, Gower-street, and.
that the police, believing him intoxicated, conveyed
him to the station-house, where he remained till
eight o'clock on Sunday morning ; when being still
insensible he was conveyed to University College
Hospital, where it was found he had a fracture or
the skull at the top, extending five inches, that
most of his front teeth were knocked out, and one
found in his stomach, that he had a contused wound
on his right temple, and a cut over his eye, another
on his chin, a wound on the inside of his right arm,
and another on the inside of his left knee, and that
some of his ribs ware broken. The inquest was
adjourned to ascertain deceased's identity, and en-
able the police, if possib:e, to discover how he came
by his injuries.
Bridget Walsh, of 10, Horace-street, Edgware-
road, with whom the deceased cohabited, said he left
home at four o'clock on Saturday morning, the 27th
ult , and she saw nothing more of him till she iden-
tified his body at St. Pancras workhouse; and

Ellen Quinn, his wife, said she had seen nothing
of him for the last twelve months.

W. Lyne, of 86, Bermondsey-street, said be knee
deceased, who was in the employ of the Bermondsey
vestry as a labourer. On the night in question
deceased, with three or four others, came to his
house, a beershop, and had with them part of
four or five pints of stout. Re left with one
of his mates about nine o'clock. He was
not the worse for liquor, nor had he any of the in-
juries described when he left his place. Seeing the
report of the case in the papers, he came there and
identified him.

Henry Baldwin, porter at University Hospital,
stated that a woman had come there as an out-
patient a few days since,
and said she bad wit-
nessed”the ill usage by
wbich deceased was " mur-
dered, She said she was looking out of window
between 12 and 1 on the Saturday night and she
saw several policemen ill-using him, and that a
soldier and two other men took his part. She gave
her address as Mary Roberts, 10, George-street.
Inspector Garforth, and Murray, the summon-
ing officer, said they had been to all the " George-
streets" they knew, and could not find this woman.
Michael Garvey, deceased's brother-in-law, said
the only persons he suspected was deceased's son,
who was in the 18rh Regiment, and a woman
named Fergusson, who lived with him, and whom
he took away from his father.
The Coroner reiterated his opinion that it:was
utterly impossible this man could have sustained
these injuries, but through the violence of others,
and ultimately theinquiry was again adjourned,
