ROOMS.—A grand concert of
Church Music was given here this morning with
much success. The solo singers were Madame Sherring-
ton, Madame Andrea, Madame Weiss, and Messrs. Swift,
Weiss, Bervon, Rigby, Brady, and Kimberley. One of the
most interesting pieces performed was a manuscript double
chorus and duet " Magniflcat et exultravit," by Han-
del, and although it was one of his youthful compositions,
it bore all the beauties of the master hand. The duettists
were Mesdames Sherrington and Andrea, both of whom ren-
puts with the greatest taste.

LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day.

SHERIFF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

AN EXTRAORDINARY ACTION FOR FIVEPENCE THE PRICE

OP rios' CHOPS—AUSTIN V. GAME.

This was an action to recover fivepence, money had and
received, defendant being the well known butcher and pur-
veyor of Cannon-street.
His Honour—Well, plaintiff, what about this fivepence P
Plaintiff—lt is a very extraordinary question. You must
know that one of my mates sent to defendant's shop for a
pig's face—(laughter)—and, indeed, they looked very good.
Well, the messenger put down Is., and took up a pig's jaw
—(great laughter)—besides which he got 9d. change,
That, you see, was 3d. for the jaw. (Renewed laughter.)
Well, that is finished. Now, I saw the jaw, and, thinking
it was very cheap, I sent a man for one for me. I gave
him 6d., and he went in'o the shop and politely de-
manded a pig's jaw. He was asked what he paid for the
other one, and said 3d. Then defendant took up the 6d.,
and gave my man ld. change, but no pig's jaw, as he said,
" that makes it all right."
Plaintiff called a witness possessed of a most laughter-
moving Irish brogue and style, reminding one strongly of
Mr. Brougham in Dennis Brulguiderry. This witness
depicted the following history :—" I went to the shop, sur,
and put down the sixpence. ' It's a pig's jaw that I want,'
says I And what did ye pay for the last ?' says he.
' Threepence, sur,' says I. And shur,' says he, ' did ye P'
With that, by me soul, he took up the sixpence, and gave
me a penny for change, but devil a pig's jaw did I git."
(Roars of laughter, in which his Honour joined, after a
vain attempt to suppress the inclination.) Witness (quite
surprised)—"' That makes it all right,' says he. 'Does it,
by the powers,' says I, but the devil a pig's head I got to
this day.' " (Great laughter.)

_ .
His Honour—Well, ➢ir. Austin, you will recover your
fivepence and half-a-crown costs.

Verdict for plaintiff. This little case will cost defendazr
some Gs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE BURGLARY AT LORD CHESHAM:S —ANOTHER
CHARGE AGAINST THE PRISONERS.—Roderick O'Lochlin,
alias Benjamin Johnson, alias Charles Greyston, but whose
real name is said to be Hart, and George Hewitt, alias
Wallis, alias Bennett, alias Groves, charged with bur-
glariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of
Lord Chesham, 19, Grosvenor-square, and stealing a large
quantity of jewellery, watches; and antiques, of the value of
about £2,000, were again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, a
second charge to-day being preferred against the prisoners
by Insrector Steer, of the D division, of breaking and en-
tering the house of Mr. John Laurie, 10, Hyde-park-place,
and stealing a quantity of property, cons'sting of a gold
cup, a gold snuff-box (the gift of the Emperor Napoleon),
itc., on the night of the 29th April last.

Lord Chesham and his daughter were present, and were
accommodated with seats on the bench.

Mr. Morgan, of Humphreys and Morgan, prosecuted,
and Mr. Dodson defended.

From the fact that the prisoners are known to belong to
a notorious gang, the greatest interest was felt in the pro-
ceedings.

Mr. Morgan said the only additional evidence to-day
would be proof of former convictions.

A constable, named Cook, proved a conviction against
Hewitt for uttering a forged note, when he had four years
penal servitude, and another constable proved a conviction
against O'Lochlin.

The prisoners were then committed for trial.
_ _

Mr. Morgan said that he then charged the prisoners with
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. John
Laurie, of 10, Hyde-park-terrace, on the night of the 29th
April last, and stealing a quantity of valuable property, bu
as that case was not quite complete he must ask for a remand
for a week.

Mr. Tyrwhitt granted the application.
It appears that the property at Mr. Laurie's was all safe
at 11 o'clock at night, and the next morning it was
discovered that the premises had been burglariously
entered, an entrance having been gained by forc-
ing the rails of the kitchen window. A tarred
rope and screw-driver were left behind, and from a
cellaret which had been forced open a quantity of valuable
property had been taken. Three men were seen near the
house the previous night as if reconnoitering, and on the
night of the burglary three men were seen sitting on the
steps of the next house by Mr. Laurie's coachman. Ser-
geant White, 1) division, on going to the lodging of Hewitt
found a jemmy, which the woman he (Hewitt) cohabited
with tried to secrete, and on inspector Steer comparing the
jemmy with Mr. Laurie's cellaret he found them to corre-
spond exactly. A noticeable feature in the two cases is,
that a screw was taken from the locks of the kitchen doors
in both houses, so that the burglars might thus gain ad-
mission to the interiors of them, and that tarred ropes were
used in both instances.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,—This Day,

EPSOM RACES-THIS DAY.

The state of the weather this morning must have
been a sad disappointment to thousands who had
made up their minds for a visit to Epsom Downs to
witness the race of all races, viz., the Derby. Not-
withstanding the pitiless rain which had from an
early hour in the morning been falling, those who
had engaged " traps," or had booked places in
"first-class covered vans," had no choice but to make
the pilgrimage or lose their money, which, "to
prevent mistakes," had been paid beforehand.
This being the state in which a large num-
ber of her Majesty's subjects were placed, the
thought with many naturally turned itself
as to the best manner of braving the
soaking rain when falling with the most provoking
regularity at nine a,m. In place of Zephyr coats,
white hats and green veils, in which the lords of
the creation invariably appear on such occasions,
they had to sport Inverness wrappers, oil-skin over-
coats, felt hats and water-tight boots : and the
ladies followed the same example, al►hough many of
them must have resigned the "duck" of a bonnet
bought for the special occasion with very great
regret.

The Elephant and Castle, as usual, was "all
alive," at a very early hour looking more like a
beleagured fortress or the halt of a caravan, so
great at one time was the u umber of vehicles
clustered round to tempt the unwary to try the
perils of the road. The appearance of a great many
of the vehicles might have induced a belief in the
mind of a stranger that, instead of the Londoners
taking their annual holiday, they
were in fact occu-
pied in an extensive movement of furni-
ture, as the great majority of the vans
were entirely covered with a tarpauling upon which
was painted in conspicuous colours the following
announcement :—" Goods carefully removed." At
a few minutes before ten, the rain ceased and a dif-
ference in the scene was soon observable. The
heavy coverings were clewed up, and then instead
of chairs and tables, &c., Bre., men, women, and
children were discovered as the occupants, and from
the good humour( d look that prevailed the
assemblage all seemed bent on making
the best of the day. To say that every
kind of vehicle, in or out of repair, had its
representative in the motley gathering, is only to
express what has been said of every:Derby day since
the origin of sport. The aristocratic four-in-hand,
the humbler brougham, the fast dog-cart, the pon-
derous omnibus, and plebeian barrow of the genuine
costermonger, abounded everywhere; hansom cabs
transformed themselves into perfect bowers, and
hurried along the line ; whilst amongst the inde-
scribable ruck of vehicles there was something that
looked very like a mourning coach, that had either
banished dull care for the day, or become reckless
through excess of grief.

To the great majority of visitors to Epsom the
railway, with its admirably organised arrangements,
has now so completely established its superiority,
that to go by the road would be something like the
Civic procession taking water in the venerable and
time-honoured City barges, when the whole of the
municipal wisdom can be conveyed from Blackfriars
to Westminster so much more rapidly in a penny
steamboat. The secret of " doing" the Derby com-
fortably is to go late and come away early, when
g, the pickpockets, the
confusion,t nw e hol ofnd
nearly
the
everythingn of an unpleasant
nature, may be avoided. The arrivals at
the South-Western, and at the London-bridge
and Victeria Station of the London, Brighton, and
South Coast Railway were immense, and yet owing
to the capital arrangements of the officials, the
trains left with the greatest regularity, the travel-
lers taking their seats (considering the occasion)
with but little, if any, fighting and crowding.

THE NAVY.

A correspondent, writing from Valetta, May 15,
says,Vice-Admiral SirW. Fanshawe Martin, K.C.8.,
struck his flag yesterday on board her Majesty's
ship Marlborough (Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8.),
and Vice-Admiral Smart, K.H., assumed the com-
mand of the Mediterranean fleet, under the custo-
mary salutes. Vice-Admiral Martin has since
hoisted his flag on the Magicienne, 16, Capt. Wil-
liam Armytage, it being his intention to embark on
board that vessel this evening for Marseilles en route
to England. Rear-Admiral H. R. Yelverton, C. 8.,
will embark on board the Msgicienne at Marseilles
for Malta, to replace Rear-Admiral S. C. Decree,
C.B. Rear-Admiral H. J. Codrington, C. 8., with
his family, flag-lieutenant, and secretary, took his
departure from Malta on Tuesday afternoon last, on
board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamship Poonah. Admiral Codrington will spend
a week at Gibraltar with his brother, Sir William
Codrington, Governor of that fortress, and proceed
in the following packet of the same company to
England, to report himself to the Admiralty. There
have been no movements of men-of-war since the de-
parture of the last mail of the 11th in st., but we are
shortly expecting the return of the Malacca, 17,
Capt. G. Napier, from the Coast of Syria. She has
orders to call at the different islands of theArohipe•
lago and the Piraeus, which will somewhat delay
her arrival. Her Majesty's ships in Malta harbour
are the Marlborough, 131; the Revenge, 73; the
Trafalgar, 70; the Meeanee, 60; the Magicienne,
16; the Medina, 4; the Icarus, 11; the Alacrity,
4; the Wanderer, 4 ; the Cockatrice, 2 ; the Hiber-
nia, receiving ship, and her tenders Boxer and
Growler. The former of these tenders is to be fitted
as tender to the Hydra, which is to replace the Me-
dina for the surveying service in the Mediterranean.
The ship Middlesex, 1,200 tons register, Com
Carmel!, R.N.R., whose arrival in the Channel
with troops from India was announced in The Sun
of Monday, arrived at Spithead at 11 p.m. on Sun-
day. The troops on board consisted of the head-
quarters of the 92d (Gordon Highlanders) Regiment
in the following strength :—Col. Archibald Inglis
Lockhart, C. 8., in command ; Capts. A. W. Came-
ron and G. H. Parker; Lieuts. R. W. M. Lockhart,
R. B. M•Ewen, M.Barnett, R. J. S. Carruthers,
A. R. A. Boyd, D. M. Crichton, and G. Thom lin-
son ; Lieut. and Adjutant John Cursland Hay;
Ensigns G. K. M. Callum and C. C. Ross; Quarter-
master J. Dew.-r, Surgeon J. B. Reid, Assist.-Surg.
J. Langdale, M.D., 6 staff sergeants, 1 Scripture
reader, 24 sergeants, 24 corporals, 14 drummers, 262
privates, 20 women, and 48 children.
The Curagoa, screw frigate, Capt. Sir William
Wiseman, made her official speed trial, on commis-
sion,:on Monday, at the measured mile in Stokes
Bay, near Portsmouth, under the superintendence
of Capt. H. Broadhead and staff, comprising Mr. J.
Ward, assistant to the Chief Engineer of her Ma.
jesty's dockyard, and Mr. W. Eames, Acting In-
spector of Machinery afloat. Six runs were made
at the mile with full boiler power, the mean speed
of the ship being 10.750 knots. Four runs at half
boiler power gave the ship a mean speed of 8.670
knots. Circles were also made with the following
results—With full power—Port helm—The halt
circle was made in 3m. 31s. and the full circle in
6m. 465., the angle of rudder being 16 deg., the
turns of wheel 2/, and the revolutions of engine
69/.. Starboard helm—The half circle was made
in 3 minutes 8 seconds, and the full circle in 6
minutes 15 seconds, the angle of rudder being
15 degrees, the turn of wheel, and the revolu-
tions of engines, 68. With half power--Port
helm—The half circle was made in 4 min. 6
sec; the full circle in 8 min. 22 sec., the angle of
rudder being 19/ deg. and, the revolutions of en-
gines 51. With half power :—Starboard helm—The
half circle 3 min. 52 sec., and the full circle 7 min.
29 sec., the angle of rudder being 19* deg. and the
revolutions of engines 61. The machinery, 350
horse power, by Mandalay, Field, and Son, gave
every satisfaction to the officials on board by its
working. It is not expected that the Curacoa wil.
sail from England for some days to come.
