violently assaulting police-constable Amor, 232 A., while

The constable, whose eyes were much swollen and
breitesd,depoted that about half-past nine o'clock on the
previous high/ he vras on duty in Hyde-park, and hbd
, two ?admen in charga' for annoying gentlemen in the
park. When the prisoner came up and attempted to rescue
• • them troth his custody. Complainant resisted, and a;
length the prisoner succeeded in rescuing one of the
women, who ran away. Witness followed her and
took her again, when the prisoner came up
to him :loin and said, ' Oh, d— you, give
fair play,' and attempted 'to kick him on the
lower part of his person. Witness fortunately
d the
avoide contemplated injury, and told the
Prisoner' he was a pAce-constable, and on duty. Pri
eoner.replied he did not care a who he was, and
B,truLk him a fearful blow between the eyes, which felled
'ma to the ground. Prisoner then tried to take off his
belt to strike him, but was prevented by witness knock-
ing him down with his (witness's) staff. Complainant
then sprang his rattle, cud other constables having come
to hisla:sistance, the prisoner, who offered great resist
ant', was lodged in the station.

The meeting has thirty-four fixtures, of which seven
are marked for the first day, nine for the second, eleven
for the Cup day, and seven for Friday.
Tu-sday'a sport commences with the Craven Stakes
of 5 sovs. each, with 50 added, one mile and a quarter,
to close and name by eight o'clock on Monday evening.
The Gratwicke Stakes of 100 sove. each, h ft, one
mile and a half, will, in all probability, attract the fol-
lowing, and those only, to the post:—Father Thames,
B,t 41h; King Pepin, Bst 41b; the Nabob, Bst 101 b;
Longbow, Bst. -7ib; Hesperui, Sit 10Ib, aud Claver-
house, same weight, doubtful. The race, to all intents and
purposes, is a certainty
o Father-Thames,
Lon -bow or Faer_Thames,
and, as the ease stands, I almost feel inclined to take
FATHER 1 HAMES (A. Day)
for choice: mote, however, anon.
The Ham Stakes of 100 soya. each, h ft, three-quarters
of a mile. will probably be contested by May Fair, Bel-
gravia, Incense, Estrella, Pttrygia, Mies Sarah filly.
Taltourd or P. arl, one of the Duke of Richmond's, and
perhaps Venderdecken and Constantine; the last-named
two, however, for various reasons, are extremely dubious.
Public performance at once decides in favour of
BELGRAVIA (A. Day);
it nevertheless strikes me very turc:bly that should Van-
derdeckrn go he must be backed as well as the above.
Estrella and Pnrygia are very good es outside specs; in
tact, it the latter had been and thorouehly prepared,
I should have taken her in preference to Belgravia, espe-
cially as she has a six pound allowance.

• LITERATURE.
ifICHAUD'S BISTORF OF THE CRU-
SADES. Translated from the French by W.
Robson. Vol. 11. .Routledge.
This volume contains accounts of the fourth, fifth,
eiztb, and seventh crusades. It is very desirable for
niftily to possess a history of those important wars in
the English language, and thus these volumes will
doubtless prove very acceptable. It is to be regretted,
however,
as the translator remarks, that tbe cele-
rated author allows petty jealousy to interfere with
the records of universsl history. Notwithstanding
these drawbacks, a very good general idea of the
crusades may be formed from this publication.

LIFE OF MARLBOROUGH. By C. Mac-
f ar. Routledge.
In this little volumla
ene we meet with the account of
the life and deeds of Marlborough, in a condensed
""form. which it is presumed will be acceptable to the
present busy generation. It is advantageous, cer-
tai

!:irnmary, of the career of so distinguished a man. It

Which the railway passes is a complete swamp, present-
ing, in that climate especially, the most formidable diffi-
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 a 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
same time. Above Getup, where the first view of the
river is obtained, the ground becomes of a more solid
description, consisting principally of a clayey red loam,
which is carried down daily in late'. quantities by the
ballast engines for the purpose of filling up the road
between the piles. The worst parts have already been
made good, and in less than a year banks of this earth,
which the heavy rains only render more compact, will
have superseded the pilet, which may be termed the
pioneers of the liue. Farther along the road free-

Tavernilla, the present terminus of the line, the native

being replaced, laid closer together, or lifted without at
all disturbing the road.
