NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
NEWMARKET, Wednesday Afternoon.
The Jockey Club-rooms yard was erowdeal this morning,
and after the settling for yesterday's races, seine heavy en-
ragements were made on the Column etakee and Derby.
For the former the offers were 7 to 4 on Priam (Cressida)
Lget the field, 2 to 1 being taken with aridity. The Mum-
suer was backed at 19 to 2 to 3001. to 400/. ; his advance
being attributed to the running of Mr. Gully's Red Rover,
who run second to him at Ascot last year. Priam well at
1, to I ; Mouche and Brunswicker at 10 to 1 each ; Mah-
mood and Augustus each at 20 to 1 ; and Zueharelli at
SO to 1 ; 500 even was laid on the field agst
Mummer, Mouse, Brunswicker, Zucharel,i, and Grampus ;
1,000 to 10 being betted agst the latter in return.
Some surprise has been expressed that Zinganee was not
started for the Oatlands, which many think he would have
won easy. To remedy as much as possible a great evil the
Club have issued the following notice:—
" In order to prevent all doubts whether a start is fair
or a false start, the Jockeys are desired to take notice, that
if the starter does not consider it a fair start, he will ring a
bell, upon which they are to return, but not otherwise."
Lord Chesterfield left late last night, in consequence of
an express from London. His Lordship is expected te re-
turn in the course of the day.

home, when Augustus went in front, Middleton being here
beat off; about 100 yards from the *hair Augustus mended'

Yesterday morning the following lamentable
accident occurred at the corner of Stephen-street, Liston-
grove. A waggoner, in the employ of Mr. Wk. WA I,
Tans, of Southwark-wharf, Dank-side, was driving his
employer's cart at a moderate rate, when an elderly female
named Can°, liring in the carries of Mr. Gar, landlord
of the Globe public-house, Lisson-greve, in the capacity
of nurse, attempted to cross the road, with her master's
son in her arms, a beautiful little boy, two years of age,
and, it is supposed, accidentally ran against the wheels of
the cart, which went over them before the an scold pos-
sibly arrest its progress. Scnormo, an offiees of Marl-
borough-street, who was passing near the spot, promptly
rendered assistance, and helped to convey the chi'd to the'
nearest surgeon ; who, however, pronounced it to ha quite
dead. The wheel passed over the head of the unfortunate
infant, whose brains were scattered in the carriage-way.
The woman was also dangerously injured, and she remains
:it Nutford-place infirmary, with slight hopes of recovery.
The driver of the cart immediately surrendered himself to
the policeman, who accordingly secured him ; and the
body of the child remains at Nutford-places Infirmary, to
await the result of a corone►'s inquest.

DISPATCH SCHOONER.---On the r•reck of
this vessel being towed into Largo Bay, Alderney, it was
found that her cargo consisted of 66 pipes and 71 hoes-
heads of cognac brandy, some spoilt clover seed, and other
trifles being loose in her hold. On examination she did
not appear to have been on shore, her bottom being, as far
as could be ascertained, sound, with ftte exception of a few
leaks in her butt-ends : the rudder was loose. and the
deck scuttled in several places, patticulatly immediately
over the Captain's cabin, and probably the act o those by
whom she had been boarded while drifting. The masts
were clean out of her, bowsprit standing but stript, no
rigging, except three main shrouds, nor %alit. In the
cabin was found the outside of a pocket-book, -narked in
gilt letters, " Dispatch schooner, Ttroat.►s BAaaETT,
Exeter, Topsham ;" in the bottom of the hold W.ll a waist-
coat, with anchor buttons, in the pocket of wl,ich was a
purse, containing nine sovereigns, 17s. and 10d., and
about the cabin floor severs] foreign silver mud copper
coins, but no person or beast on board. Whet.. joined by
the Alderney boatmen her batches were off, Lull the water
about two feet above deck.
