MURDER OF A POLICEMAN.—A policeman, named
Lyons, aged 23 years, belonging to the Stafford-
shire force, and stationed at Willenhall, dies yesterday
from the results of several dreadful injuries which had been
inflicted upon him by Thomas Lockley and five other men,
who are now in custody. Last Saturday week Lyons was
upon his beat in a low part of the town, when he had occa-
sion to order the prisoners to move on in consequence of
their making a drunken row. Instead of doing so they
assaulted him, and he arrested two of them, but their
comrades rescued them, and knocked him down, kicked
him, and dragged him along the ground by his staff, which
was fastened to his wrist. During the struggle Thomas
Lockley's brother, who is one of the prisoners, was wielding
a large open clasp knife, and a civilian who attempted to
take it from him had his hand cut. Thomas Lockley was
afterwards heard to say, " Come back and let us murder
the —;" and he was seen to go up to the deceased as he
lay on the road, and, having called out, " Stand out of the
way, let me settle the --," he dashed upon the left side
of his head, a little above the ear, a broken brick. The
officer then became insensible, and was carried bleeding
into the residence of a gentleman living near. On Wed-
nesday last delirium set in, and the surgeons deemed it
necessary to take away five pieces of the skull, altogether
about the size of a florin, and also some of the brain. Con-
vulsions came on, however, and he died yesterday morning
at six o'clock, in the presence of his sister, in his room at
the police barracks. The deceased officer was an exceed-
ingly quiet man, and greatly respected by the other mem- 1
bers of the force.

THN NEW EMBANKMENT.—Thank goodness, we
aro going to get rid of the clumsy old dummy and
the rickety stage leading to it, which have so long dis-
graced our noble river. As the embankment will be pro-
jected so far into the river, there will always be sufficient
water close to it, and the flow of the stream will no longer
be impeded by clumsy wooden piers which would disgrace
a fishing village. In their place indentations will be made
in the face of the embankment wall, and the floating stage
will be approached by long flights of stone steps, running
parallel to the wall itself, whilst magnificent blocks of
granite, surmounted with imposing groups of statuary, will
remind us of some of the poetical visions of J, W. 1%.1.
Turner, when depicting the building of Carthage by Queen
Dido, rather than an ordinary Thames steamboat pier of
the present day. The land at that portion of the embank-
ment lying behind Whitehall-gardens is Government pro-
perty : it is impossible, therefore, to say how that portion
of it not occupied by the roadway will be used; but in all
Probability, it will be simply planted, and this portion of
the lino, backed by the existing gardens of Whitehall-place
and of Buccleuch House, and still further on, of the finely-
timbered grounds of Northumberland House, will furnish
a noble background of verdure very attractive to the eye.
We shall see once more Inigo Jones's beautiful water-
gate revived, and no longer standing as a sham at the
bottom of Buckingham-street, but a real gateway for the
living tide making use of the now disused landing-place at
this spot, At Hungerford-bridge, another noble landing.

13A1'11 RACES.-,WEDNEsDAY.

Lacking those sensational movements on the Derby for
which this meeting lons in past years been celebrated, we
should say that the duet and the heat, reminding one of
Goodwood at its brightest, were the features. In the re-
turn from the course yesterday the garments of the tra-
vellers were covered with a powder resembling snow, while
the sun's rays in the enclosure this afternoon were sug-
gestive of sun-strokes, and umbrellas were in great request.
The attendance was very large, the course being thronged
with both carriages and foot people, while the Stand was, as
on the previous day, crowded with a brilliant display of
beauty.
The Somersetshire Stakes is the important item of the
second day, but this year the acceptance was a bad one, and
the field reduced to small dimensions. Teneriffe and Bald-
win were about equal favourites, and they finished first and
second, Sea King, who made the running most of the way,
succumbing to the weight in the last half mile. A large field
(22 in number) came to the post for the Weston Stakes and
of course there was considerable betting on the issue of this
important two-year-old race. Missionary, a very fine
looking colt of Lord Portsmouth's, was made the favourite,
while, next to him, Mongrel, Prosperity, the Moestissima
filly, and Ethelred were, as far as appearance went, the
most reliable of the lot. There was, of course, the usual
delay at the post, which we take as a matter of course in
these two•year-old affairs; end after the flag fell it was
soon evident that there wore but two or three in the race.
The Missionary was soon beaten, and, in company with
Mongrel, the Mootissima filly, prosperity, &c,, dropped
away, leaving the issue to Ethelred and Shrapnel, who
raced home together, the former winning by a neck. A
rather frivolous objection that some of the horses started
before the post was overruled by the stewards.
There was but little DerbY-Ersseulation during the day.
Copenhagen, after the race for the Somersetshire, was
nominally at 20 to 1, though we do not believe ho was
backed at that price. Blair Athol was again sent to " the
cold shade" at 20 to 1, and Iroilyfox was backed for a little
money at his quoted price. The others remain the same as
yesterday.
The Welter Stakes (handicap) of 10 sous each, 6 ft, with
50 sous added ; for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Once round

Betting-7 to 4 agst Lady Clifden, 3to 1 agst Lord Bur-
leigh, 100 to 15 apt Capucine filly, and 7 to 1 each agst
Hesper and Attraction.

The start was delayed upwards of half an hour through
the fractiousness of Black Rock, who repeatedly ;broke
away, and was left at the post when the flig was lowered.
The Capucine filly was the first away, but after running a
few strides she was headed by Attraction and the favourite,
Lcrd Burleigh going on fourth, with Hesper on his right,
to the half-distance, when the two latter were disposed of,
the favourite following suit as they neared the Stand, which
left Mr. Dawson's filly in attendance upon the leader, but
who was never enabled to get up, and was beaten very
easily by three lengths, a neck dividing the second and
third; Lord Burleigh was fourth, close up, and Hesper and
Avondale, close together, fifth and sixth.
The Selling Plate of 3 soya each, with 25 sovs added, for
two-yr-olds and upwards; weights for age. With selling
allowances. Straight half mile. 9 subs.

Sphynx filly.

Tom Ashworth, with the favourite at his girths, made
play, closely attended by Poland and the Sphynx filly to
the distance, where the two former singled themselves out,
and ran locked together to the S;and, where the favourite
got up, and won in the last stride by a short head ; Poland
finished third, fourth lengths in the rear, the Sphynx filly
was fourth, and S weyn fifth. The winner was bought in
for 200 guineas.

The Somersetshiro Stakes of 25 soy& each, 15 ft., and 6 if
declared, with 100 sews added. The second horse to

gave way to Pearl Diver, who came on in waiting upon
the leaders into the straight, where they got upon closer
terms, and ran in straight company to the distance, where
Sea King beat a retreat, leaving Teneriffe with a slight lead
of Baldwin, the pair being joined half way up by Pearl
Diver. At the stand the latter was beaten ; Baldwin at the
same time made his effort, but failed to reach the leader,
who won very easily by a length, Baldwin defeating Pearl
Diver by three parts of a length for second. Deerstalker
and Sea King finished fourth and fifth, close together.
