POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

THAMES.

A STRANGE CASE—ATTEMPTING TO STRANGLE A
FATHER.—Margaret Fife, a masculine looking woman,
aged 30, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with
being drunk and disorderly, and attempting to strangle
George Fife, her father, with a piece of rope.
The complainant, a respectable and venerable looking
man, who is well connected, is labouring under a defective
vision, and wears front and side glasses. Ho is dwelling at
5, Grove-place, Lady Lake's-grove, Stepney, and his prin-
cipal maintenance is derived from his eldest son, who allows
him £2 per month. The prisoner is by profession a seam-
stress, dwelling with her father, and unfortunately is a
great drunkard. At 10 o'clock last night Mr. Fife was
seated by his fireside and began to smoke his pipe, when
his daughter, who was intoxicated, and very noisy, threw
a rope over his neck, and said " I'll strangle you." She
made the cord tight and twisted it. He struggled and was
choking when a woman who heard the noise came into the
room and released him.
In answer to the magistrate, Mr. Fife said he was choked
a little.
Mrs. Eliza Goldsworthy said the prisoner was choking
her father with the rope, and he was getting black in the
face. The prisoner was very drunk. Mr. Fife was really
in:danger, he could not speak, and would have been strangled
if witness had not gone to his asssistance.
Mr. Fife was recalled and said his daughter had not ill-
used him,before. It was the drink which caused all the
mischief.
A police constable produced a large dagger which he
found in a box uuder a bed.
Mr, Fife—That has been in my house ten years: It
belongs to my son.
Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, asked why the dagger was
imported into the case.
The policeman—lt was iu the house.
Mr, Partridge—Nothing was done with it. You might
as well produce all the knives and forks and the fireirons in
the house.

The !Amer, in defence, said she threw the rope over
her father in joke, without intending to injure him, and she
was very sorry for what she had done.
Mr. Fife—lt was the strong drink which did it,
Mr. Partridge advised the prisoner to abstain from strong
drinks in future, and ordered her to enter into her own re-
cognisances in the sum of £lO to keep the peace sad be of
good behaviour for the next twelve months.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to• day the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate. Both for red and white qua-
lities the demand ruled inactive, and Monday's currency
was with difficulty supported.
With foreign wheat the market was but moderately sup-
plied. Sales, however, progressed slowly in all descriptions,
yet prices were without quotable change from Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at late
rates.
The supply of barley on sale was seasonably good.
Malting qualities were dull, at fully the late decline in the
quotations. Grinding and distilling qualities ruled sta-
tionary in price.
For malt the trade was in a sluggish state, on former
terms.
The supply of oats on sale was moderately good. Gene-
rally ep ,aking, the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a
drooping tendency.
Beans and peas, with which the market was moderately
supplied, were steady in price.
Flour changed hands to a limited extent, at late rates.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
THURSDAY.

There was a better, or, at all events, a fuller, programme
this morning, which, coupled with the same magnificent
weather, gave a rather more crowded appearance to the
Heath than on the three preceding days.
We may mention, apropos of racing matters, that at a
meeting of the Jockey Club held last night his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales was proposed as a member
by Lord Coventry. and we need scarcely add ;elected by
acclamation. This step, in all probability the forerunner
of a greater interest to be taken by the Heir Apparent in
the notional sport, has been received with the warmest
satisfaction here.
Though the card was full, the fields were reduced to twos
and threes, and the several items possessed no particular
features of interest, if we except the Claret Stakes, for
which Lord Clifden was to oho v. There was a very mode-
rate lot for the Biennial, with the exception of Blue Mantle,
whose uncertain temper made him a hez trdous horse to
trust; but Sea King, with the best of the weights, being
elected the favourite, landed the Stakes for the Duke of St.
Albans, Blue Mantle declining it some yards from home.
Lord Coventry's promising 2-yr-old, Tennyson, had no
difficulty in disposing of the very moderate form behind
him, and Wicket, in the Maiden Plate, very cleverly
snatched the race from Sante Ruisseau:on the post. Rapid
Rhone and Woldga were the only competitors with Lord
Clifden in the Claret. The Leger winner looked magnifi•
cent—of a different mould from some we had been lately
eseing, recalling the days of the Flying Dutchman, West
Australian, and other heroes of past years. But the race
on this occasion was not to the swift. He was beaten
after mounting the hill, and Lord Glasgow's colours came
first past the chair, 10 lengths in E Ivance of the favourite,
amid tremendous cheering and excitement.
Second year of the Fifth Newmarket Biennial Stakes of 10
sever each, with 100 added; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 61b,
Winners extra, with certain allowances. The owner of
the secf nd horse to receive a sum equal to 10 per cent. on

Sea King, in the centre, made play, followed by Blue
Mantle, Sweet Willie, and Jarnicoton across the flat, but
as they made the turn of the lands the lot closed up, and
ran nearly in a line to the Duke's Stand,where Blue Mantle
gave way to Sweet Willie, but who shortly after was beaten,
and his place was taken by Jarniooton, who followed the
favourite to the brow of the hill, where Fordham brought up
Blue Mantle, and headed the Frenchman in the next few
strides, but was unable to reach Sea King, who won by six
lengths; bad third.

beaten off.

S. Adams. On settling into their places The Beaver took a
clear lead, which he retained to the Abingdon mile Vottote,

won easily by Tony Lumpkin, the property of Colonel
Forster, who has long been attached to the Staff
of Lord Carlisle. The Downshire Cup, the cther great
feature of the afternoon, furnished a magnificent contest
between Cameo, Lottery, and Montpelier, there being only
three heads between them. The winner is the property of
Mr. M‘Denongh, the celebrated steeplechase rider of former
days, kind vas steadily ridden by Captain Ricardo, whose
efforts to finish were much warred by his horse's saddle
turning round in the race. The Welter Stakes was another
fine race; but the accident which occurred to Forager and
his jockey, Captain M'Craik, rendered the issue one of the
chances of war. The weather was lovely, the attendance
very great, and the appeal to the local hunts for support so
successful that a great increase will be made to the stakes
for next year, and the programme will be entirely revised.
The company included the Marquis and Marchioness of
Waterford, the Marquis and Marchioness of Drogheda, tht
Marquis of Clanricarde, the Marquis of Conyngham, the
Marquis of Downshire, Lords Dunkellic, CLncurry, Clon-

Betting-6 to 4 agst Signal, 2to 1 agst Topsy, and 4to
1 agst Fairy King.
The Int got away in a cluster, and upon passing the Stand

Miss Forrest held a slight lead, closely waited upon by
Topsy and the favourite. Upon reaching the next fence
Miss Forrest refused, which threw out Topsy. The lead was
then assumed by Signal, who went on with the running to
the wall, whet e Topsy again headed him. The pair, closely
followed by Spider, cleared the three last fences together,
and half way up the distance Murphey called upon the
favourite, who answering very gamely won easily by four
lengths, two lengths between second and third. The win-
ner was bought in fur 110 guineas.

per and Dark Lurker.
. .

- The start was an excellent one, all getting off on terms of
perfect equality. Miss Arthur and Charity Boy were the
first to show in front, having for their neighbours Vesper,
Spatchcock, and Tony Lumpkin. In 'this order they
streamed along the meadows, exciting the admiration of tht
spectators from the admirable manner in which they took
their fences. No alteration of any importance occurred
until going down the far aide of the stand, where Ironsides
went through his horses and led, his immediate followers
being now Tony Lumpkin, Spatchcock, and Vesper. The
brook being safely got over, Ironsides, alter going some dis-
tance; bolted, and Spatchcock went on with the running,
and Tony Lumpkin, who had stopped at the wall, taking it
afterwards, made up his lost ground very quickly. Three
fences from home Stilton had drawn into the front rank,
which closed up, and a slashing race home ensued, Ton)
Lumpkin winning very easily by three lengths; a length
separated second third; Lady Douglas was fourth, and
Spatchcock fifth,

Yellow leaf took a strong lead, Lottery lying second, and
Cameo third The wall was taken in capital style, and nu
change occurred until they came to the back of the Stand,
where Cameo took up the running, followed by Montpelier
to the brook, with Satanella and Con Crgan at their quar-
ters. In this way they reached the double bank, the same
order continuing to the wall, where Wood Bird was beaten.
No change occurred until two fields from home, when
Cameo, Montpelier, and Lottery joined issue, and a magnifi-
cent race resulted in the victory of Cameo by a head, a like
distance separating the other two.

quarters of a mile, where she gave way to Fitzjames, who
then held a commanding lead until within three fences of
home, where he Was collared by Wanderer and The Nigger,
the latter coming with a wet sail halfway up the distance
overhauled the leaders, and won very cleverly by three
lengths, Fitzjames being beaten a like distance for second
place. _ _ _

The Welter Stakes of 4100, added to a Sweepstakes of 6

Forager. _ _

Betting—Even on Forager, 5 to 1 agst Hard Times, 7 to
1 eget Pyrites, and 10 to 1 agst any other.
Immediately the flag fell Hard Times rushed to the front,
but after the first fence he was passed by Sultan, the
favourite lying third. Next to these came Trapper's
Daughter and Vulture, the rest, with the exception of Mus-
well Hill (outpaced), being well np. The lot cleared the
wall in fine style, Gray Plover alone making a mistake, bui
being quickly caught and remounted, he again joined the
body of horses. Passing the Stand, Sultan led, with Trap-
per's Daughter, Hard Times, and Forager at his quarters.
In this order they travelled to the double bank, which was
jumped without any mistake, and the wall was taken equally
well. On entering the straight the race was left to these
four. The contest looked like ending in a match between
Forager and Hard Times, but owing to the crowd closing
in Forager bore down upon Hard Times and drove him over
the ropes, for tunately without causing the rider any injury ;
but Forager fell, and rolling over him, gave him so severe
a fall that great excitement for some time prevailed relative
to his recovery, Pending this mishap Pyrites came with a
rush, and, passing Sultan, won cleverly by a length and a
half, Medical aid was immediately called in to the assist-
ance of Captain M'Craith, who after the delay of an hour
ras removed to his hotel, and pronounced, although
seyfir,:dy shook, to have no bones broken.
