nisters who came into power through the revolutionary
ruffianism of Sergeant Garcia
and his bayonet re-
formers, and now are patriotically indignant at the
very idea of military insubordination, when they find
that the disgraceful example which they gave the
army and the nation has recoiled upon themselves.
But besides the enormous deficit just mentioned, our
Correspondent states that " the Spanish nation has to
thank the glorious Administration of La Granja for a
further load of debt, in the shape of consolidated and
deferred stock, to the amount of eighteen hundred mil-
lions ofreals,in round numbers eighteen millionssterling."
He adds, " It should be borne in mind that besides
the ordinary revenue of the country, the late Minister
of Finance (Mendizabal) had at his disposal a large
sum, proceeding from the forced loan of two hundred
millions of reals, part of which only was to have
been paid off in the current year." The present
wretched, corrupt, and imbecile Cortes were elected
under the influence of the La Granja revolutionists,
and are the mere creatures of the Calatrava Adminis-
tration. While the Carlist forces, so lately put to
flight, and all but " annihilated" for the thousandth
time, are once more approaching the gates of the
capital, the wretched Cortes seem to have no other
object at heart but to screen the delinquencies of the
late Administration, which the feeble genius of Es-
partero could not have destroyed if it had not. sunk to
the earth of its own rottenness. The explicit state-
ment given by our correspondent of the utterly ruined
and hopeless state of Spanish finances, is, he says, to
put the British public on their guard in case of pro-
posals for a new loan ! But if John Bull again
open his pockets to Spanish " Liberals" he must be
an incurable lender.—Herald.

A few days since, about ten o'clock in the morn-
ing, the steam-boat Fairy, on her passage from Hunger-
ford to Woolwich, called at Slaney's Pier, Greenwich, as

usual, to put out and take in passengers, and afterwards
run out a-head of a brig lying at anchor off Greenwich, for
the purpose of proceeding on her voyage ; but when out-
side the brig, a schooner and another vessel were sailing
down to the northward of her, and there was not room for

the Fairy to turn her head down the river without the
danger of running head-foremost into one of those vessels,
and, perhaps, doing great damage. To avoid this the pad-
dle-wheels of the Fairy were stopped, and she lay athwart
the tide to give the vessels an opportunity of sailing clear of
her, which they had some difficulty in doing. At the same
time, the Diamond, a Gravesend steam-vessel, on her way

to London, came up against the tide in the same line as the
Fairy was drifting, and at first eased her engines, but im-
mediately after set on again, and although Briscoe, the
master of the Fairy, called to the Diamond to ease, as the
Fairy could not back astern without striking the brig at
anchor, no attention was paid to him, and the Diamond
kept on until she struck the Fairy a tremendous blow on
the bow, heaving the passengers of the Fairy down on the
deck, and doing her so much damage that she has not been
able to run since.

In the parish of Ufford, in Essex, the churchwarden
is a female, Miss Ann Crew ; the had last week to press
for punishment on a party, at the Woodbridge Sessions,
for breach of an order of affiliation.
BURGLARY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—The
town of Bolton has of late been distinguished more than
any other for various infractions of the law. Scarcely an
evening passes over without some outrage being committed,
and the week before last, in addition to the usual assaults
and robberies, there were no less than six burglaries. Y es-
terday morning (Sunday), however, the crime of murder
was intended as well as burglary. The following are the
particulars :—James Massey, who keeps a beer-shop, re-
tired to rest as usual about twelve o'clock. About half-

past two on Sunday morning he was awoke by two men,
having a dark lantern and their faces blackened, standing
by his bedside. On looking at them, they instantly doubled
the end of the bolster over his mouth, and inflicted two
severe gashes on his throat. He then fainted, and recol-
lects nothing more until discovered in the morning by some
persons who lodge in his house. It appears, after these
wounds were inflicted, they ransacked his bed-room, and
robbed him of between 131. and 141. in sovereigns and
silver, a new suit of clothes, and some other articles. It
would appear also, the villains entered through a cellar by
opening a bolt, which no one could have done without being
well acquainted with the premises. They then pulled off
their slices, and as one pair was left, and which are now in
possession of the police, it is imagined they were disturbed.
In fact, Massey says, he heard a child cry violently in the
next room at the very moment when they had the holster
over his mouth, and the mother of the chill corroborates
this statement, and says she heard a noise, but thought it
was Massey himself, who was in the habit of going down

frequently in the night attending to the brewing of his
beer ; she therefore thought nothing about it. Massey is
in a dangerous way, but hopes are entertained of his re-
covery. One of his hands is severely cut through defend-
ing himself. The police are on the alert, cud it is hoped
sonic clue will be discovered which may lead to the appre-
hension of the perpetrators of so barbarous an outrage.

Tuesday night an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs,
at the Feathers, Dean-street, Westminster, on view of the
body of Joseph Nash, E,q., iron-merchant, who was found
drowned in the Thames on .Monday morning. From the
examination of William Butcher, No. 48, Carlisle-place,
Lambeth, it appeared that about a quarter before seven
o'clock on Monday morning, he perceived the arm of a
man above the water, at the second arch of Westminster-
bridge (the Middlesex side), the water was about four feet
in depth at the place. Ho got into a boat and rowed to
the spot, and lifting up the deceased, brought him
ashore into a yard, generally called the " Dog-yard."
Deceased had his clothes on, except his hat. There
was no mark of violence on the body. On searching
his pockets, he found in them only a snuff-box, which
he produced, and sixpence. The eyes and mouth of
deceased were closed. He immediately gave notice to the
parish officers. The widow of the deceased was next ex-
amined—she appeared much agitated. She said that her
husband had been lately hi embarrassed circumstances. He
bad not slept during the last week. Though she did not
think him absolutely deranged, yet he was much agitated.
She saw bins for the last time on Monday morning. On
that morning he went out and said he would take a walk.
She had not seen him since until she saw him in the Dean-
street workhouse last evening.—John M'Donald corrobor-
ated the testimony of Mrs. Nash as to the agitation oNhe
mind of the deceased. After a short deliberation, the Jury
agreed to a verdict, " That the deceased was found di own-
ed, having been for some time previous in a state of mental
derangement."
A mutiny, accompanied with massacre, has taken
place on board the British ship Fanny, Captain M'Kay,
master, formerly sailing from London. The ship left Chu-
nuroo Bay, for Lintin, on the 17th of August, 1836, with
a mixed crew of Europeans, Manilla tunnies, and Lascars.
On the same night the Manilla men, who had entered into a
conspiracy to take the vessel and murder the captain, offi•
cers, and Europeans, rose upon them, and first dispatched
the unfortunrte commander with their knives, and threw his
body overboard. The villains then murdered the Euro-
peans, who were surprised and overpowered. The muti-
neers took possession of the Fanny, and took her to the
north coast of Luconia, and there, after plundering the
vessel, sunk her. Captain M'Kay had spent many years at
sea, and was about to return to this country with upwards
of 50,000/. he had amassed by his own exertions. At the
time the Fanny was cut off there was specie on board to
the amount of 100,000 dollars, and this it is supposed ex-
cited the cupidity of the men to murder the captain and
officers, and seize the ship.
Monday morning, soon after two o'clock, a woman,
who was hurrying through Pitfield-street, Hoxton, without
any shoes on, and with her dress in a disordered state, was
spoken to by a police constable on duty (Kemp, 82 N),
to whom she said that she was going after her husband.
Some time afterwards, however, another constable ( Wilkins,
79 N) saw her near the canal in a state of agitation, and
after some 'questioning by him, she acknowledged that she
had intended to drown herself, alleging that she had been
ill used by her husband, and was tired of her life. The
constable then told her that he could not leave her there
under such circumstances, and must take her to the station-
house ; but on her way thither she became too ill to proceed.
The officer on duty at the station, Sergeant Glibbery, 21,
N, immediately called up Mr. Coward, on• of the sur-
geons of the police force, and that gentleman, without a
moment's delay, rose from his bed, and went to the spot
'Aare the poor woman was lying. Upon his arrival, how-
ever, a child had already been born, and, wrapping the in-
fant up in his dressing-gown, he carried it with him into his
house, and caused the mother to be carried there also by
the police, and put to bed. It happened most opportunely
that the surgeon's lady herself was in her accouchement, so
that alnurse was at hand, and clothes, &c., provided and
liberally supplied. The woman, with her infant, remains
there at present, in the enjoyment of every comfort which
can be derived in such a condition.
The youngest member of the unfortunate Hungarian
family of Belecznai has just increased the melancholy fame
which appears to be its doom. The Count's eldest son is
now expiating in prison an attempt at destroying his brother
—another died on the scaffold—and the younger son re-
cently shot at, but fortunately missed, the fiscal agent of
his property, on the very spot where his brother killed a
man. He was immediately arrested. The head of the
family has alone remained unstained with crime, and lives
to mourn over the tarnished honour of a house formerly
eminent and respected.

DONCASTER RACES.
Doncaster, Tuesday Night.
The Great St. Leger day has passed off with a smaller dis-
play of its characteristics than we recollect to have seen at
any previous meeting. The falling off, indeed, was remark-
able, and must have astonished those who witnessed the
bustle and excitement in Elis's, or the " Caravan" year.
The morning opened favourably as to the weather, but it
was not until nine o'clock that the town assumed any of
those features for which the old frequenters of Doncaster
have been accustomed to look. About that time coaches
began to rattle in from Sheffield, Hull, Bradford, Leeds,
and other places, at a come-at-able distance ; some gentle-
men's carriages also made their appearance, and country
people pouring in from all quarters served to complete an
ensemble which, animating enough of itself, formed but an
humble imitation of bygone scenes. The streets, as usual,
were inconveniently crowded until one o'clock, when a gene-
ral move was made for the course. The grand stand was
speedily filled ; at least it was quite full enough to destroy
the comfort of the inmates, especially the fairer part, who tes-
tified by their looks and gestures that they were not a little
annoyed by the uproar in the betting ring, which here, of
all places in the world, is suffered in the principle floor of
the building. The nuisance is a serious one, and ought to
be removed. The minor stands were filled to overflowing,
and the course, generally, was so well made up that a stran-
ger could not have been otherwise than gratified. The
ball last night, although thinly attended, enables us to give
a more complete list of the fashionables present:—
Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, Duke of Leeds, Duke
of Portland, Marquis of Westminster, Marquis of Exeter,
Prince Charles Lichtenstein, Count Hcngady, Count Wrbris,
Count Bathyany, Baron Reisach, Lord and Lady Lichfield,
Lord Wilton, Lord Suffield, Lord Chesterfield, Lord New-

Scott, M. Milbank, &c. Towards the end of the week we
hope to have a list of the ladies.
The following details of the sport will be found to con-
tain circumstances which, as in Memnon's year, imparted
painful and unexpected interest to the afternoon's proceedings.

Nothing was said about Lord Exeter's Dardanelles or the Duke of
Cleveland's Henriade.
At the second attempt the horses got away in the most
beautiful style imaginable, Dan Dawson leading, followed by
Dardanelles, behind whom were The Doctor, Mango, Car-
dinal Puff, and Epirus, the others being closely laid up.
They travelled in this order to the gravel road which crosses
the course, about 200 yards from the start, where Dardanelles
and Dan Dawson exchanged places, the rest maintaining the
same position as before. For the information of those not ac-
quainted with the course, we should state here that from the
gravel road till near the Rod House it is skirted in the inside
by a ditch, from which there is no protection whatever. Epi-
rus was lying close to this ditch, and having, perhaps to avoid
collision with others, got nearer than Scott intended, the soil
gave way under his fore feet, and he pitched headlong into the
ditch, a few yards from the bill, Scott falling sideways on the
course. While in the act of rising The Prime Warden came
up, and, not having time to get out of the way, charged the
horses legs, which were now on the course. He cleared
these, but, unluckily, struck Scott on the collar bone, near the
right shoulder, and smashed it so dreadfully that the bones
protruded through the skin. We arc happy to add, how-
ever, that the fracture, although a compound one, is
not likely to be attended w ith any serious consequences.
The Pi irne Warden was very nearly down, and lost all
chance of the race. We left Dardanelres with the lead, which
he kept at a good pace, followed as before, until within a
distance and a half of home, v.hen Dan gave up, and joined
Egeria and The Prime Warden in the rear. The front rank
was now composed of Dardanelles, The Doctor, Abraham
Newlan'i, Cardinal Puff, Troilus, and Henriade, Mango lying
immediately behind, and, to all appearance, so completely shut
out that his backers were apprehensive he would not be able
to fight his way through them. The six kept nearly head
and head to the distance, where The Doctor and Abraham
Newland singled themselves out, Mango taking the same po-
sition behind them that lie had occupied with the six, but having
just space enough to pass between. At the stand he went up,
was half a length before them when he cleared it, and, by the
aid of one cut with the whip, reached the post a gallant win-
ner by three parts of a length, Abraham Newland beating The
Doctor by half a length. After these three had liaised the
distance post a greyhound ran under Dardanelles and was
knocked down by his hind legs. Henriade, following in the
wake of DardanellJs, went over the dog and was thrown, with-
out injury to himself or rider, who retained his seat. Darda-
nelles was fourth, Cardinal Puff and Troilus were next him,
and then Slashing Harry and Henriade, the rear being brought
up by The Prime Warden, Egeria, and Dan Dawson, Ma-
hometan lying between them and the ruck.
Mr. Greville and a noble friend are supposed to win about
twenty thousand pounds in bets; the stakes, after the usual
deductions, are worth 1,675/. We take it for granted that
the Corporation will immediately put up rails from the gravel
road to the Red House, and adopt the Liverpool plan to keep
dogs off the course.
The Cleveland Stakes of 25 sous. each,_ls ft. but 5 only if declared
lie., with 50 sous. added by the Corporation. The second horse
to save his stake. One mile. 9 Subs., three of whom declared.

Mr. Ileseltine'sbr. c. The Bard, by Waverley, 4 yrs, 7st. 121 b. 3
7 to 4 on Bee's-wing, who made all the running, and won easy
by a length.
The Two Year-Old Produce Stakes, of 100 soya. each, h. ft. ;
colts, Bst. 51b ; fillies, Bst. 31b. Red-house in. 7 Subs.
Duke of Leeds's Vertumnus Templeman 1
Lord Chesterfield's b. f. by Priam
Mr. Houldsworth's c. by Sultan
6 to 4 on the Priam filly, who waited on Vertumnus to the stand,
challenged him, and after a punishing race, was defeated by a head.

others were a great distance astern. The nine boats of the
second match were started at ten minutes past throe, and they
all went off together without any difference, save that advan-
tage which station gave them. It was a bard match with two
of the boats, the Price and the Better Friend, but the Price
had the lead all the way, and won by a few minufes. A row-
ing match followed, but it blew so hard that the men could
hardly make a stroke, and most of the company who had stood
the blast on the piers for some hours had retired. The af-
fair was very well managed by a committee of the tradesmen,
but there was no steam-boat to accompany them, and it would
have been a very difficult matter to have seen the match
throughout by any other conveyance. We understand as mach
as 60/. had been collected.
