NEW COURT.

Roland Owen, 30, was indicted for embezzling a sum of
3/. 9s. 6d., the property of George Sexton, and another,
his master.

It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution that
the prisoner was in the employment of the prosecutors,
who are worsted manufacturers, and received from Miss
Grant of Oxford-street a sum of IV. 9s. 6d., due to his
employers, but only paid in 10/. The facts were clearly
proved, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
George Slanwin was indicted for stealing a coat, value
11. 10s., the property of Joseph Cloud.
The prosecutor is a Coffee-house keeper in Bishopsgate-
street, and the prisoner slept in his house on the night of
the sth inst. After he had left the following morning the
coat was missed, and the prisoner was found in the shop of
Attenbury, a pawnbroker, offering it in pledge.
It appeared from the c‘idence of some of the witnesses
that the prisoner, who is a hair-dresser, was in great distress.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly re-
commended the prisoner to mercy.

AQUATICS.

NEWEL, ELLISS, AND BYFORD.—ThiS wrangle terminated
yesterday in favour of the man who won it fairly last year, and
who, but for the conduct of the " Sporting Waterman" at
Lambeth, would have received the stakes. It was a sweep-
stakes match of 101. each we believe, and was, w• repeat,
earned by Newel before. There was no umpire, and after
considerable wrangling it was determined to have another turn
at it yesterday, Ines having foolishly withheld, the money.
Byford had the best station and took the lead, but Newel, who
was second best, outrowed him at the Horseferry, and went
through Vauxhall-bridge first by three lengths. At the Red
House Byford tried hard to overhaul 11;s adversary, but Newel
was too good, and when he had got nearly scull and scull
rowed away from him. Newel won by fourteen or sixteen
lengths, Byford was next, and Elliss about three quarters of a
mile astern. The winner rowed in Mr. Wood's boat built for
the scull championship, Byford in Mr. Solly's, and Elliss in
Mr. Julius's.
AMATEUR CUTTER MATCH.—The four-oared cutter match
for a silver cup, given by a publican residing in the neighbour-
hood of the Vauxhall-road, came off yesterday. It was strictly
confined to landsmen, and was to be contested in three heats.
Shortly after five o'clock those entitled to contest the grand
heat started, and came in thus—First, Light Blue—Rowley,
Jones, Ryman, and Brown ; coxswain, Lavender. Second,
Green—Chappell, Green, Eaton, and Baker; coxswain, J.
Baker. Third, Yellow—Sharpe, Gillingham, Cassell, and
Keates ; coxswain, W. Sharpe. Fourth, Purple—Watts,

FREEMASONS' QUARTERLY REVIEW.

An able periodical, hut rather too restricted in its
character. The .‘ Songs of Masonry" are the cle-
verest things in it. They are hit off in a light,
piquant manner, with much tact, and evident rea-
diness.

BRITANA'ICUM.

Two periodicals, devoted to horticultural subjects,
and under the active•superintendence of Mr. Loudon,
one of the most intelligent and indefatigable compilers
of this sort of publications of the day. The engraving
of the famous full-grown ash tree in Studley Park is
very gracefully executed ; and the back=ground, though
it be merely an outline, is not a little picturesque in its
effect.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

A meanly-dressed young man, wearing mustachios, who
had the appearance of having seen better days, presented
himself before Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. HALL, to beg some
temporary assistance. His story was such as to interest
the bench in his favour. His connections, he said, were
of the highest respectability, one being a country magistrate,
and another holding a rank in her Majesty's service. He
(applicant) had been an officer in the East India Company's
service ; but, much against the wishes of his friends, he bad
relinquished his commission. Since that period he had
served in Portugal, Belgium, and lastly under General
Evans, in Spain. While on service in Spain he was attacked
by illness, and was sent home. He procured admission into
Guy's Hospital, and after his discharge, he had attempted,
but in vain, to procure the means of subsistence. Being
very weak, and destitute, he could not reach Chichester on
foot, and, as a last reson.7o, he had resolved upon asking
the Bench to send him down.
Mr. CtiAmnEns—Why do you not ~:pPIY to your friends ?
Applicant— Because an unfortunate misun..2erstanding has
for some time past existed between myself and .7.'Y friends.
If I could only get down to them, I have no doubt ni.:tters
would be arranged. I assure you lam so beaten down by'
illness and want, that it has been with difficulty I hale
been able to maintain existence. _ .

VV
Mr. CHAMBERS—What have you been doing since you
left tks hospital ? Applicant—l know French, Spanish,
and Hindostanee, perfectly, and I have employed myself
as an interpreter.

Mr. CHAMBERS desired the applicant to retire and write
down a short history of himself and his distress. When
the applicant presented the letter Mr. Chambers told
him he would advance a sovereign to pay coach hire down
to Chichester, and to enable him to have a trifle in his
pocket. If at any time his prospects bettered he might
return the money : but if matters should prove unfortu-
nate he need give himself no trouble on that account.
The applicant expressed his gratitude and withdrew.

MIDDLESEX.

Messrs. COVENTRY and TAMLYN held their respective
courts yesterday at the Court of Requests, Osborne-street,
Whitechapel, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters
for the different parishes and districts of St. Mary, White-
chapel ; Christ Church ; Norton Folgate ; Mile-end New
Town ; St. Botolph-without, Aldgate ; Trinity, Minories ;
The Old Artillery-ground ; Tower-without ; St. George,
Wapping ; and St. John, Wapping.
(Before Mr. COTENTY.)
In the list for the parish of St. Mary, Whitechapel, the
name of Mr. Thomas Craven appeared as claiminr, to be
registered in right of the " land-tax redeemed for freehold
stables."

Mr. COVENTRY said, under the circumstances, he felt
bound to restore the qualification to its original description.
Mr. T. J. Ilsley, who claimed in respect of " land-tax
redeemed upon a leasehold house," was also objected to by
Mr. Davis, on the ground that the claimant being in the
occupation of the house as a leaseholder, thereby acquired
a vote for the borough, and could not be registered for the
county in respect of the same property.
Mr. COVENTRY said that as the value was proved to be
sufficient, he thought he ought to admit the claim.
No other point of any interest arose in this court.
(Before Mr. TAMLYN.)
Mr. Beckett claimed to be registered in right of a free-
hold house and premises in the Tower, Minorics, the joint
property of himself and his partners. The house was not
used as a residence, but it was occupied by the claimant and
all his partners as " a warehouse " or " counting-house."
Mr. T. P. Turner objected to the claim.
Mr. TAMLYN held that though as freehold, it would
give a good claim to each of the joint owners, yet that an
occupation as " a warehouse," "counting-house," and so on,
came within the 24th section of the Act, and as an objection
had been raised in the manner prescribed by the Act, he felt
bound to reject the claim.
The following is the result of yesterday's revision :

PICKWICK PAPERS. No. XVIII.

These clever sketches keep up with unabated spirit.
The present series is quite as good as any of its pre-
decessors—indeed, better than some of them. The
illustrations by Phiz, which are in the best comic
spirit, give us no cause to lament the loss of Seymour.
They are fully equal to any that he ever pourtrayed.

di SIA TIC JOURNAL.

In the notice of the habits and manners of the
" Caucasian Nations"—which, by-the-bye, is drawn
up with much spirit—we find the following anecdote,
which is curiously illustrative of the vindictive cite-
racter of some of these mountain tribes An
IngoOsh robber was taken by the Russians, at the fort
of Wrady-kavkas, on the right bank of the Terek,
made to run the gauntlet and then released ; but he
died of the effects of his punishment. His brother de-
termined on revenge, passed days and nights in tra-
versing the rocky country with his gun in his hand, to
single out his victitA. A young officer inconsiderately
left the place ; the Ingoosh shot him, and cut off his
ears, which he carried to the tomb of his brother, and
offered them, with certain ceremonies, to his manes.
He killed eighteen other victims, and treated them in
like manner, three of whom were officers." " A Day
at Malacca" gives a graphic account of a visit paid to
a Dutch family resident in that colony. Under the
head " Asiatic Intelligence" there is a world of oriental
information, which the Nabobs at Cheltenham, Lea-
mington and elsewhere, will be sure to devour with
avidity.

CABINET CYCLOP-EDIA. No. 93.
Longman, London, 1837.

The volume before us forms the seventh of the
History of England, and is a continuation of Sir
James Mackintosh's unfinished work. It is penned
in an impartial spirit ; displays knowledge of character,
especially in the portrait of Clarendon ; and gives a
full and animated account of the disastrous reign of
Charles the Second.

THE CHURCHES OF LONDON.
A cheap and useful work, neatly got up, and em-
bellished with two engravings.

THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.
Simpkin and Marshall.

The Rev. Blackthorn M'Flail's Autobiography is
continued in this Number, and for genuine humour is
by far the best article contained in it. An Irish
christening is a ceremony to which the genius of a
Milesian M'Fun could alone do ample justice.
We speak from happy experience. The story of
eastern life bears too close a resemblance to Byron's
" Giaour," to be considered original in any respect.
The " Classical Illustrations of Modern Opinions and
Usages in Ireland" are curious and interesting. We
wish to see them continued. The other articles are
on subjects to which we can only passingly refer, as
" The Battle of the Diamond," the ". War in
Spain," Lockhart's Life of Scott," and some others
of less general interest. Making due allowance for
Tory politics, they are ail very ably treated in these
pages.

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday .lohn Fancourt and Edwin Fancourt, father
and son, residing at St. John's Wood, were brought up in
custody, charged with a ruffianly assault on their next-
door neighbours, William and Mary Ann Cooper, the latter
of whom, from the injury inflicted on her, is considered in
great danger.

The prisoners, who alleged that the complainant was
the aggressor, were ordered to find bail to meet the charge
at the sessions.

JIM CROW IN TROIJBLE.—A remarkably funny-looking
man, who at the station-house gave his name Jim Crow,
was --
charged under the following circumstances :
Turner, 26 D, on Saturday night, about eight o'clock,
found the prisoner drunk and incapable of taking care of
himself in Ulster-terrace, Regent's Park, and in conse-
quence thereof lie (witness) took him into custody.
Mr. RAWLINSON (to Jim Crow)—Well, Sir, why do
you get drunk ? Jim (with a graceful bow)—l don't often
do so, Sir, but the other night I couldn't help it.
Mr. RAwLINsoN—Why couldn't you ?—Jim---Lord
bless you, Sir, I'd kept myself sober for upwards of three
weeks before, but it wz.s quite impossible I could hold out
any longer. I and a friend of mine had a quarters or two
between us.
Mr. RAWLINSON—You are a very foolish fellow, Mr.
Crow, but don't do so any more ; you are now discharged.
Jim Crow returned his best thanks and " wheeled" out of
the office.

HATTON GARDEN.

Yesterday Henry Gates, aged 13, and George Green,
aged 14, were brought to this office in the custody of a po-
lice officer of the N division, charged with loitering about
the neighbourhood of Islington, with intent to commit a
felony.
The prisoners, who were dirty-looking fellows, made up
in the style of the bone-picking fraternity, made the most
horrid faces, and affected to cry, but neither of them could
squeeze out a tear ; they denied the charge, saying they
never committed no robbery in all their lives, and they never
picked up nothing votsumdever but bones, rags, and other
things o' that ere kind.
MAGISTRATE—Had the prisoners any bones or rags in
their bags when you took them ? Constable—None what-
ever.

Several questions were put to the prisoners in order to
ascertain who and what they were, but they hesitated and
contradicted themselves, yet they adhered positively to their
assurances to his Worship that they were honest bone-
pickers. Green, however, who had the House of Correc-
tion depicted in his countenance. was identified as having
been more than once a familiar inmate of that well-known
establishment.

Green—Lor, I vos niver there in all my life.
He denied knowing anything of Gates until yesterday.
How did you meet with him ? Green (hesitatingly, and
scratching his head)—How did I meet vith him ? Vy, I
met vith him happrepo.—(A laugh.)
What do you mean by happrepo? Green (looking
askew)—Vot do I mean ? Vy, I means that I met him
by chance, and ye vorked together ; but vo vere not lookin'
arter anythink vot the purleeceinun as said.—(lncreased
laughter.)
The MAGISTRATE said the happrepo meeting was an un-
fortunate affair, and the chance now was that they would go
to the House of Correction.

Green—l hopes not, Sir ;ve shall sartenly lose our .cha-
racter.—(Laughter.)
The MAGISTAATE having no doubt as to the fact of
their being thieves, and that they were loitering about with
intent to commit felony, committed them to the House of
Correction for six weeks, with hard labour ; on which they
left the bar, and swaggered out with bravado.

THE SPORTSMAN.

Our blithe and manly friend looks hale and well
this month : the shooting of September does not ap-
pear to have weakened the energies or diminished the
quality of the right good articles with which he
monthly furnishes his guests, the readers of " The
Sportsman." Without detracting from his great and
universally acknowledged merits, as one who has long
occupied the very 'best place with hounds, as well as in
all the other varied accomplishments which go to make
up the " Good old English Gentleman"—without
wishing, we say, to find fault or be hypercritical, we
must say, apart from Art, that the engraving of the
Colonel is certainly not a good likeness of that
beautiful animal, which, it will be recollected, was
purchased by his late Majesty George the Fourth for
the sum of 4,000 guineas. Nor do we think highly
of the other engraving of the Antelope in India.
There is a certain stiffness,in the animal occupying the
foreground—a want of vitality in it, which it is retire
justice to the clever artist, Beckwith, to admit is not
characteristic of his general style of execution. The
paper on the same subject, " Field Sports in Southern
India," unfolds perhaps one of the most pleasing
pages that we can open in this or any other pe-
riodical. With the observations on the " Exac-
tions of Strength and Speed" we fully concur. The
anecdotes of " Poor Jack Mytton:' more gene-
rally and perhaps appropriately spoken of as Mad
Mytton, are neither without interest or a valu-
able moral. He appears to have been the original
of which a certain Irish Marquis, notorious for rows,
is a vulgar copy. If poor Jack had kept pounds only,
he would have been a country squire of respectable
degree ; but much wealth and not a little consequent
license maddened the man, as it may perhaps, if it
have not already, the Marquis. In conclusion, we
recommend the present Number as a capital companion,
especially on a rainy day, to all our sporting friends—
to all who eques canesque gaudent.

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday John Mowbray and Lipman Isaac Milhauscn
were finally examined on the charge of uttering a forged
check, with intent to defraud Messrs. Praed and Co., the
bankers, of the sum of 61. 17s. The case was fully sub-
stantiated, and papers prosiaced on which attempts had been
made at imitating the handwriting of Mr. H. Samuels, by
whom the prisoner, Lipman Isaac Milhausen, had formerly
been employed as warehouseman. Both prisoners were
fully committed.

Majesty has been graciously pleased to appoint the Earl of
Albemarle steward of the Egham races for next year, and to
signify her intention to continue the Plate of 100 guineas as
usual. The announcement has given great pleasure in the

THE MINES.

" There's danger in the mines old man," I asked of an
aged miner who, with his arms bent, leaned against the sides
of the immense vault absorbed in meditation—" it must be
a fearful life."
The old man looked at me with a stedfast but somewhat
vacant stare, and then in half broken sentences he mut-
tered " Danger—where is there not—on the earth or be-
neath it—on the mountain or in the valley—on the ocean
or in the quiet of nature's most hidden spot—where is there
not danger ? where hath not death left some token of his
presence ?" " True," I replied, " but the vicissitudes of
life are various : the sailor seeks his living on the waters,
and he knows each moment that they may engulph
hire—
the hunter seeks death in the wild woods—the soldier in
the battle field—and the miner knows not but that the spot
where he now stands to-morrow may be his tomb." "It
is so, indeed," replied the old man—" we find death in the
means we seek to perpetuate life—'tis a strange riddle—
who shall solve it ?"

" Have you long followed this occupation ?" I asked,
somewhat struck with the old man's manner.

" From a boy—l drew my first breath in the mines—l
shall yield it up in their gloom."
" You have seen some of those vicissitudes," I said, " to
which you just now alluded."
" Yes," he replied, with a faultering voice, " I have.
There was a time that three tall boys looked up to me and
called me father. They were sturdy striplings ! How it
seems but yesterday they stood before me so proud in their
strength—and I filled too with a father's vanity. But the
Lord ehasteneth the proud heart. 'Where are they now ?
I saw the youngest—he was the dearest of the flock—his
mother's spirit seemed to have settled on him—crushed at
say feet a bleeding mass. We were together—so near that
his hot blood sprung up into my face. Molten lead had
been lass lasting than those fearful drops. One moment
and his light laugh was in my ears—the next, and the large
mass came :--there was no cry—no look of terror—bat the
transition to eternity was as the lightning's flash—and my
poor boy lay crushed beneath the fearful load. It was an
awful moment—but time that changeth all things brought
relief—and I had still two sons. But my cup of affliction
was not yet full. They, too, were taken from me. Side
by side they died—not as their brother—but the fire damp
caught their breath, and left them scorched and lifeless,
They brought them home to the old man—his fair jewels—
than whom earth's richest treasures in his- sight had no
price—and told him he was childless and alone. It is a
strange decree that the old plant should thus survive the
stripling things it shaded, and for whom it would have died
a thousand times. Is it surprising that I-should wish to die
here in the mines ?" " You have indeed," I replied,
" drunk of affliction. Whence did you derive consolation ?"
The old man looked up—" from heaven—God gave and
ho hath taken away—blessed be his name." I bowed my
head to the miner's pious, prayer—and the old man passed
on.—Cal dif Chronicle.

TATTERSALL' S—YESTIZI{DdY.

The absence of several at Heaton Park Races, and of some
from motives pretty well understood, prevented those who at-
tended for the purpose from closing their St. Leger accounts.
So much latitude, indeed, is taken in this necessary sequitur
to racing that, in order to put an end to receiving in hard cash
and paying in promises, it is proposed that a large black board
shall be placed outside the door, on which the sufferers by such
parties shall be at liberty to put up their bets for sale, specify-
ing the name of the non-payer, the amount and nature of the
bet, and the sum required as purchase money. We make
this proposal without intending any personal application, and
simply from a conviction that the plan, if carried into effect,
will be the means of restoring the market to a healthy state.
The only bets made yesterday were 200 to 100 on Mango agst
Citron for their match in the October Meeting, 1,600 to 300
agst Cobweb colt for the Derby, and 18 to 1 to 75/. agst Non-
plus's dam for the same race.

PEDESTRIANISM.

EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.—The great pedestrian match for a
bet to a large amount, to pick up 300 stones at one yard apart,
between those celebrated peripatetics, the veteran Townsend
and Mountjoy, was decided yesterday at Lord's Cricket-
ground, St. John's Wood, Marylebone. Among the company
were many of the elite of the fashionable world, and a number
of sporting men. From the terms of the agreement entered
into between the parties it seemed that Townsend was to un-
dertake to pick his 300 stones from the ground with his mouth
(as he did in his first match with Drinkwater), whilst his op-
ponent, Mountjoy, was to pick his 300 stones with his hands.
Townsend was attired in a light flannel jacket, nankeen
drawers, cotton socks, light shoes, and a linen cap ; and
around his loins was girded a yellow silk handkerchief. Mount.
joy was similarly dressed. Townsend appeared to be of Her-
culean cast. His weight is 11 stone ;heis 5 feet f,-) inches in
height, and he is 45 years of age. His more youthful compe-
titor is 35 years old, about 5 feet 6 inches in height, and
neighed about 10 stone slbs. At 26 minutes to ten the start
took place, Mountjoy darting off like a young deer, whilst
Townsend went at a more cool and regular pace. They thus
continued till about half-past one, when Mountjoy was de
Glared to be dead beat, and no wonder either, when it is consi-
dered that in this short time (three hours 56 minutes), he had
accomplished about 27 miles, and picked up 136 stones, and
was said to be four miles in advance of his more experienced
opponent. The announcement to Townsend of his success
gave him greater vigour, and pursuant to the terms of the
match he was obliged to complete the undertaking, although
the winner by Mountjoy's failure. The veteran kept on, with-
out distressing himself, till about seven o'clock in the even-
ing, when it was declared b► the umpires he had performed
this arduous undertaking, he having thrown Isis last stone into
the basket. This announcement was received with loud cheers
by the company. The distance was 51 miles and 440 yards.
Bets to a large amount depended on the performance.

DR. JOHN ARMSTRONG'S LIVER PILLS

" I care not how I ani physicked, so it be met by the adventure of a
Quack, kut advice of a physician, wive I am sure will prescribe no more
for me than may consist with my safety, and need d .th require."— Old
THESE LIVER PILLS are now very generally
recommended by the Faculty as the best FAMILY
APERIENT, a certain remedy for an INACTIVE LIVER, a
safe and effectual Destroyer of Worms in Children, and as the Best
Friend of the DYSPEPTIC or BILIOUS SUFFERER, whose
usual symptoms are (some or all of) these—sick head-ache, giddi-
ness, flatulence, palpitation of the heart (when arising, as it often
does, from INDIGESTION), pain in the Side and under the
shoulder blades, distressing sensation of choking, oppression after
meals, depression of spirits, and a yellow skin. The very first two
pills generally afford such relief—such ease from every distressing
pain that the patient is at once surprised and delighted. The medi-
cine is gentle, though certain in its benign effects. It contains no
Aloes, Gamboge, or Colocynth ; occasioning no Piles, nor any
pain in its operation. Obstinate Sores heal under a course of it,
and Eruptions of the Skin disappear. Taken a few alternate nights
before a voyage, it greatly prevents sea-sickness.
Dr. ARMSTRONG gave his unique prescription to the Pro-
prietor (a cousin of Mrs. Armstrong) in 1827, fur his wife, who
was apparently dying of Liver Complaint, but has been ever since,
with the occasional use of the Pills, in perfect health.
N.B. Ask for " Dr. JOHN ARMSTRONG'S LIVER
PILLS," and observe that " John 'l'. Eddy, Chemist, Bishop
Stortford," is ENGRAVED IN WAITE LETTERS on the Stamp,
