ings against the bankrupt. The statement, by Messrs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

John Smith, who said he was an officer in the army, was
this morning placed at the bar, on remand, charged with
assaulting a cumber of persons on the false representation
that he was a medical man.

At the last examination Mr. Henry expressed a desire
that a statement of the case should be form arded to the
Home Office, with a view of the Government authorities
taking charge of the prosecution. This having been done,
Mr. Powell attended on behalf of the Solicitor to the
Treasury, and two or three other fresh cases were opened
against the prisoner. At the conclusion of the evidence,
Mr. Henry again remanded the prisoner, it being under-
stood that he would be fully committed for trial on the com-
pletion of the several charges brought against him.
The police have not yet discovered anything relative to
he real position of the prisoner.

MARLBORO-UGH-STREET.
COMMITTAL FOR AN UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON AN
ORGANIST.—Henry Thorney, a rough-looking young man,
described as a shoemaker, of 13, Fitzroy-place, was charged
before Mr. Knox with committing the following unprovoked
assault on Mr. Amos Philips Wheeler, organist and teacher
of music, residing at 39, Sloane-square, Chelsea.
Mr. Wheeler said that about a quarter to 12 the previous
night he was parting with a lady at the corner of Dean-
street, Oxford-street, when the defendant, and one of his
companions passed, and as they did so, either the defendant
or one his friends knocked off his hat, and in his attempting
to pick it up the defendant knocked him down by a violent
blow which, besides hurting his arm, had affected his hear-
ing, a matter of serious consequence to him, as it would
probably prevent him attending to his professional duties.
Mrs. Catherine Howard, of 22, Newberry-terrace, Mal-
don-road, said she had just left the Royalty Theatre, and
was parting with Mr. Wheeler, when she heard one of the
defendant's friends ridiculing Mr. Wheeler's size (Mr.
Wheeler is of rather small stature), The defendant then
knocked off Mr. Wheeler's hat, and gave it to a friend. On
defendant being expostulated with, he knocked Mr. Wheeler
down in a brutal manner. The defendant then abused her
in a most disgraceful manner and went away, but some
gentlemen pursued him and caused him to be taken into
custody.
James, 71 C, said defendant appeared to be sober.
Defendant said he had been drinking.
Mr. Knox said the defendant had committed a most un-
provoked assault on an inoffensive passer by, then insulted
a lady, and wound up his performance by knocking the
complainant down. He should commit the defendant fora
month with hard labour.

THAMES.
ROBBERY IN TOWER-HILL.—Timothy Neale, aged 18,
a strongly-built, and thick-set youth, described as a caster-
monger, of No. 4, Thomas-court, Half Moon-street,
Bishopsgate, was brought up on remand before Mr. Wool-
rych, charged with stealing a watch from a young gentle-
man named Walter Wilder, a clerk residing at 2, Chester-
terrace, Wandsworth-road.

The prosecutor was passing over Tower-hill, and
stopped for a few seconds to look at something going on
there, when the prisoner accosted him, stood alongside of
him, and took his watch from him. The prosecutor found
his chain, to which his watch had been secured, broken, and
hanging loosely before him. The watch was in the pri-
soner's hand. The prosecutor said, " Young fellow," you
have got my watch. The prisoner looked confused, and
handed the watch back to the owner, who collared the pri-
soner and gave him into the custody of a city police, named
Henry Smith, No. 517.

Daniel Davey, a police-constable, No. 169 H, said the
prisoner was convicted at the Bow-street police court on
the 10th of November, 1860, for
The prisoner interupting—ln 1859 that was. It was,
indeed, sir.

Davey (in continuation)—picking pockets and sentenced
to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. Stnce
then the prisoner had been convicted at this court and had
one months' imprisonment.

The prisoner—Not for stealing—unlawful possession,
your workahip.

Davey (continuing;—and hard labour for three months
for unlawful possession of property.
Mr. Woolrych—l shall again sentence the prisoner to
three months' imprisonment and hard labour, for frequent-
ing a public thoroughfare with intent to commit a felony.
There is one more chance for the prisoner. If he is brought
before me again and a case is made out, I shall commit him
for trial and he will be sentenced to a long term of penal
servitude if found guilty.
The prisoner burst out into expressions of gratitude on
hearing the sentence, and exclaimed "Thank you, sir
thank you ; I am much obliged to your worship, thank you.
11 Woolrych—Next time mind, it will be penal eer: vitude.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. Owing to the fineness of the
weather sales progressed Flowly in all descriptions, yet no
change took place in prices, compared a ith Monday.
The supply of foreign wheat was large. Nearly all de-
scriptions met a slow sale, and in some instances the quota-
tions had a downward tendency.

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former
terms.

The supply of barley was in a great measure confined to
foreign produce. Both grinding and distilling qualities sold
slowly, at late rates.
Malt was in fair average request, at full quotations.

The supply of oats was large. In most descriptions a fair
business was transacted, at the late decline in the currency.
Beans and peas were steady in price, and about an aver-
age business was transacted in both articles.

Flour moved off slowly ; nevertheless, fine marks sup
ported previous rates.

fair amount of business transacted, and good and fine
grocery qualities have fully sustained former rates. In the
refined market there has not been much animation, and
quotations are unaltered.
COFFEE.—A fair demand has seen experienced for colo-
nial descriptions, but in some instances prices have shown
rather less firmness, Plantation and Native Ceylon being
at slightly reduced rates.

NIVERSITT COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—The annual
meeting of the supporters of this charity was held at this
hospital yesterday afternoon, at four p.m., A• W. Jaffray,
Esq., in the chair. From the report, which was unanimously
adopted, it appeared that the pecuniary position of the
hospital is not at all satisfactory. The necessary expendi-
ture exceeds the annual income, and an increase of public
support is greatly needed. It was resolved to bring the
claims of the hospital more prominently before the public,
and in every way to improve its pecuniary position. In
addition to Lord Brougham presiding at the annual dinner
at the Albion Tavern, on Tuesday next, in the latter part of
June there is to be a grand morning entertainment at her
Majesty's Theatre in aid of the funds of the hospital.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER MEETlNG.—Titunspiit.

It is no less remarkable than true that for years past the
Manchester summer races have been somewhat damaged by
wet weather, Yesterday, although chilly and devoid of
sunshine, remained free from rain, and gave promise of a
dry meeting. This morning has dispelled these hopes, for,
although not heavy, a fine rain is descending. The attend..
ance yesterday was remarkably good, particularly in the
stands, which were literally crammed. In consequence of
the dryness of the season, the running ground is very hard,
Full particulars of the afternoon's sport will be found given
below.

Several breaks away took place, occasioned by Rat-
catcher, Jack's Alive, and Lord 1 undreary overpowering
their riders. When the flag descended the first named
rushed to the front, and with Jack's Alive, Dictator, and
Eastern Princess in close attendance, made tha running at
a strong pace. Rounding the top turn Ratcatcher in-
creased his lead, and on fairly entering the back stretch
Eastern Princess took the second place, with the favourite
at her girths, in which way they ran into the straight,
when Dictator went up, and at the quarter of a mile post
got to the leader's quarters, but, stopping under the
weight, he was beaten easily by three lengths ; a length
between the second and third, and a head separating the
third and fourth; the others beaten off.

Sir Watkin, with a slight lead, made play with Loafer,
the favourite, and Persuasion lying athis heels ; the others,
whipped in by Winslow, being lengths in their rear. At the
distance Sir Watkin was beaten, leaving Loafer in posses-
sion of the lead, who was shortly after joined by Persua-
sions and Fisherman's Daughter, the three running locked
together to the stand, where Mr. Phillips's filly obtained a
slight advantage, and won a fine race by a head, a head
separating the second and third, three lengths between the

third and fourth.

and Golden Pledge, 7 to 1 agat Doefoot, 8 to 1 agat Bril-
liant, and 20 to 1 agst any other.

After settling in their places Doefoot rushed to the front,
and at once assumed the command and made play at her
best pace, Fanfaron going on second, with Golden Pledge,
Caledon, and Brilliant lying in her track, the favourite and
Mr. Parr's filly lying off some lengths ; rounding the far
turn the leader considerably fuel eased her advantage, and
as they traversed the far side Golden Pledge appeared to be
in trouble and dropped back, leaving as wide an interval
between her stable companion as that separating the two
leaders, Caledon going in at his side with Brilliant, and the
two favourites together bringing up the rear, At the half
mile post they appeared to get upon closer terms, but on
entering the straight Cel. Towneley's mare came on with a
commanding lead, which she held past the stand, still
waited upon by Fanfaron, Golden Pledge, Caller Ou, Bril-
liant, and Isoline, Caledon, who appeared out-paced, bring-
ing up the rear, With little or no alteration they retained
these positions to the T.Y.C. post, where Caller On ran
into the fourth place, with Isoline at her girths, the two
latter Teeing s de by side round the Broughton turn, where

At a meeting of the Race Committee of the city of Ches-
ter, held the 28th May, 1863—Thomas Dixon, Esq., in the

filled the office of clerk of the course for several years, and
no sufficient cause has been alleged to call upon him for his
resignation, he be continued as heretofore in that office."
At a meeting of the Grand Stand proprietors, held imme-
diately after the above—Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., M.P.
in the chair—it was resolved :
"That the usual sum of money (X 1,200) be granted for
