WEDNESDAY NIGHY.
The interest" attached to the Czarovitch Stakes, brought a
considerable accession to thp fashionable company already
collected within the town. The additions comprehended
Counts Potocki and Kalkreutz, Marquis of Waterford, Mar-
quis of Tavistock, Marquis of Normanby, Lord Hardwicke,
Lord Orford, Mr. J. Stanley, &c. The weather was ex-
tremely favourable, and the attendance on the heath very nu-
merous. The following are a few additional particulars of the
races :
The 100 soy. Stakes.—Bosphorus made the running to the
Ab. M. bottom, where Montreal headed him, made the rest of
the play, and won cleverly by half a length. Flambeau was
beaten all the way.
The 10 sovs Stakes.-5 and 6t04 on Hill Coolie, who made
play, followed by Adah and Lord Lichfield's f to the new
ground, where the latter took it up. The Augustus filly waited
on them to the last moment, made her rush, and won in good
style by half a length.
Czarovitch Stakes.—Primefit took the lead at a great pace,
followed by Science and Merrythought, Cruiskeen lying next
them ; these positions and the speed continued to the ditch
mile, where Merrythought and Primefit gave up. Science
went en with the running, seconded by Mickleton Maid,
Cruiskeen lying up with them. At the new ground Science
died away, and Mickleton Maid took her place, followed by
Cruiskeen, Quicksilver, Quo Minus, Science, and Joannina.
In this way they ran to the bushes, where the race was left to
the two fillies. Cruiskeen now took the lead, Mickleton Maid
lying at her side, and Quicksilver next. At the cords Cruis-
keen, although only a neck before 11Lckleton Maid, had clearly
the best of the race; half way up them the lad called on her,
and she won cleverly by half a length. Quicksilver was about
two lengths behind the second, Science was fourth, Joannina
fifth, and Merrythought last; the tailing was very distinct.
The betting sent from the heath was the last before starting.
Science had previously been first favourite at 3 to 1 (taken),
and, in the town, at 2to I and sto 2. Lord Miltown is said
to have won 7,000/. by the race.
Before the race commenced the following blood stock was
sold by Messrs. Tattersall :
Minetta, covered by Ishmael, 59 guineas; a two-yrs-old
filly by Buzzard, d by Saracen, 49 guineas ; a two-yrs-old colt;

Vhat will Barclay and Perkins say when they
hear that at Rhode Island the beer is brewed so strong
that it requires three men to blow the head off a pot of
porter, and they must be tolerably long-winded !
It was decided at the Court held at Bristol for
the revision of the lists of Parliamentary voters, that the
fact of a person having been excused his poor-rates
within the year was not a receipt of alms according to
the meaning of the Act, and did not disqualify the voter.

" Every bill delivered 30 days after the last case of
plague shall be considered clean. The vessel which
carries it shall be immediately admitted to free pratique,
with its passengers, crew, and cargo.
" Every bill delivered 15 days after the last case of
plague shall be considered suspected. The vessel which
carries it shall perform a quarantine of 15 days if it be
laden, and of 10 if in ballast.
" Every bill delivered within less than 15 days since
the last case of plague shall be considered foul. The
vessel which carries it shall perform a quarantine of 20
days if it be laden, and of 15 if it be in ballast.
" Art. 3. The period of quarantine, for laden vessels,
as well suspected as foul, shall commence from the day
on which they shall anchor before the Lazaret of Kou-
leli. Considering, however, on the one hand, that the
weather may sometimes prevent them from proceeding
to that anchorage, and on the other, that at present
there exists no means of towing them thither without
delay, it is agreed that warehouses shall be constructed
with as little delay as possible upon the Point of Feuer-
Baktche, to receive the cargoes of vessels placed in the
above circumstances, the quarantine of which shall in
that case commence from the day of their anchoring at
the said Point of Fener-Baktche.
" It is understood, moreover, that this facility shall
only be granted to vessels evidently prevented by the
weather from proceeding to the Lazaret of Kouleli, and
until the gunatory Board shall have at its disposal suit-
able means for conducting them thither, notwithstanding
the wind.

" Art. 4. The quarantine for vessels in ballast, as well
suspected as foul, shall commence to reckon from the
day of their arrival.

Art. 5. Every suspected or foul vessel, whether
laden or in ballast, arriving by the Straits of the Dar-
danelles, shall be bound to take on board a guard of
health either at the Sanatory.office of the Dardanelles
or at that of Gallipoli, according to the captain's choice.
" It the vessel be in ballast, its quarantine shall
count from the day on which the guard goes on board,
upon condition that it be subjected to the measures of
disinfection prescribed by the latter. In this case, if
the vessel shall have completed the quarantine during
the voyage, it shall be received to free pratique at Con-
stantinople.

" If the vessel be laden, its quarantine shall in every
case commence from the day of its anchoring at Kou-
leli or at Fencr-Baktche.

Upon their arrival at Constantinople, vessels with
cargoes, as well as those in ballist, which shall not have
completed their quarantine on the voyage, shall receive an
additional guard, which they shall keep, together with
that taken on board at the Dardanelles or at Gallipoli,
until the expiration of their quarantine.
" It is understood that vessels i.ith a clean bill shall
not be obliged to stop either at the Dardanelles or at
Gallipoli.

" Art. 6. Suspected or foul vessels in ballast may
cast anchor at the entrance of the harbour, or in the
canal at some distance from the shore, under the in-
.sPection of their guards. Vessels arriving with cargoes
'shall enjoy the same privilege, but not until after un-
,l,6ding their cargoes, which they should first discharge
'at Kouleli or at Pener-Baktche.
• " Art. 7. Vessels laden or in ballast coming from the
Mediterranean and bound for the Black Sea, with a
suspected or foul bill, shall be equally bound to take on
board a
guard of health at the Dardanelles or at Galli
poli, whether they intend to complete their quarantine
'at Constantinople or prefer continuing their voyage,
Performing, it en route. On their arrival here they shall
hoist at the mizenmast a flag of two stripes, yellow and
black 'placed vertically, which they shall keep flying
until their departure.

" It shall be lawful for such vessels to perform their
quarantine at Constantinople, submitting to the mea-
sures laid down in the preceding articles for vessels
bound to this port ; but in this case the Captains must
declare their intention at the time of the examination to
which they will be subject.
" If, on the contrary, they prefer continuing their
voyage, performing their quarantine en route, they shall
receive on their arrival an additional guard, which they
shall keep on board until their departure, together with
that received at the Dardanelles, or at Gallipoli, and
before their entry into the Black Sea they shall dis-
embark both at the sanatory port of Kayak. With
respect to merchandise and passengers destined for
Constantinople, they shall be disembarked at the La-
zaret of Kouleli, or shall complete their quarantine
conformably to the sanatory conditions applicable to
the vessel.

" The boat belonging to the Sanatory Board charged
with the duty of examining the bills shall without delay
notify the arrival of the vessels to their respective em-
bassies, in order that they may prepare fcr them, with
the necessary precautions, the customary warrants and
firmans for the Black Sea.

" It is understood that such vessels being in ballast,
and ishing to avail themselves of the facility for com-
mencing their quarantine at the Dardanelles or at
Gallipoli, upon the terms contained in the second pa-
ragraph of the fifth article, shall be entitled to that privi-
lege ; but in this case they must previously declare their
intention at whichever office they take their guard of
health, in order that the latter may subject them
during the voyage to the necessary measures of dis-
infection.

.‘ Art. 8. Vessels coming from the Black Sea with
suspected or foul bills, whether with cargoes or in bal-
last, shall take a guard of health at the Sanatory-office
of Kayak, or of that of Silvi-Bournou irthe weather
shall render it wholly impracticable to stop at the former
place
; but they will not have to undergo an interroga-
tory at either of those places. This formality shall be
executed at the Lazaret of Kouleli, where they also
shall receive their additional guard.;
" All the dispositions of the seventh article relative
to suspected or foul vessels bound to the Black Sea are

" Art. 13. In order to save a considerable expense
to the steam-boats which are making weekly trips, it
shall be lawful for them to keep their guards on board
all the time that the ports with which they are in com-
munication shall be infected or under suspicion.
" Art. 14. Every vessel bearing a clean bill, which shall
have had communication en route with a suspected' or
infected place, shall be subject to the quarantine regu-
lations required by the state of health of that place.
" Art. 15. Passengers arriving in vessels with a sus-
pected or foul bill shall perform their quarantine at
Kouleli. Its duration shall be 15 days for a foul and
ten days for a suspected bill. It is agreed that pas-
sengers arriving from the Mediterranean in vessels in
ballast, whether foul or suspected, shall partake of
the relaxation accorded to vessels in the second para-
graph of the sth article. Those who shall have intended
to perform their quarantine at Constantinople, and shall
be on board of vessels which are prevented by stress of
weather from putting in at Kouleli, shall be trans-
ported thither, together with their baggage, in the boats
of the Lazaret, and their qursantines shall commence
from the day of the arrival of the vessel.
" Art 16. All offences against the quarantine regu-
tions shall be tried according to the laws which prevail
in Europe, and the offender shall be handed over for
punishment to the authority to which he appeals.
" Art. 17. The undersigned having some time ago
come to the resolution that the duties of quarantine can-
not be levied for two months after the conclusion and
signature of the definitive regulations, think it expe-
dient to add here, that this interval shall commence upon
the present day, and that, consequently, the payment of
the duties will become compulsory upon and after
the 10th of August next. The European delegates
take upon themselves to request their respective chiefs
to recommend to the approbation of their Courts the
tariff at that time proposed by the Council of Health
and modified by them, in order that during the interval
of the two months this point also may be definitively
settled.

" Art. 18. It is determined that the maximum dura-
tion of quarantine for merchandise shall be 20 days.
" Art. 19. The present regulation having for its ob-
ject only measures of precaution against objects arriving
by sea, the Council of Health, upon the proposition of
the delegates, undertakes to examine and discuss with
them at an early period the question relative to sana-
tory cordons and local measures of disinfection.
" ADDITIONAL ARTICLE.
" It is expressly agreed that the warehouses to be
erected at Fener-Baktche, according to the stipula-
tions of article 8, shall be constructed of stone. The
delegates allow three months for the erection of
these warehouses. Until that time suspected or
foul vessels which shall arrive with cargoes will
run the chance of contrary weather, if it prevents them
from reaching the Lazaret of Kouleli. But the Coun-
cil of Health pledges itself to employ all the means in
its power to conduct them thither at the earliest possible
moment, their quar.antine commencing to count from the
day on which they shall anchor before that lazaret.
" The present regulation shall be deposited in the
archives of the Council of Health, and shall be of the
same weight as an organic and fundamental Act.
" Done and signed at Constantinople, in the Hall of
the Conferences of the Council of Health, this 10th of
June, 1839."

HE ALLEGED ROBBERY AND
ATTEMPTED MURDER iN HYDE-PARK.

Inspector Partridge, of the A division, who is inves-
tigating the case, was actively engaged during yesterday
in endeavouring to obtain a clue to the perpetrators of
the outrage, or some evidence which might dispel the
mystery which hangs over this transaction, but he did
not, we believe, obtain any information of an important
nature. A communication has been made to the police
from Henry Charman, a private in the Grenadier Guards,
in which he states that he was on duty at the Magazine
adjoining the bridge, on the above evening, and that he
saw a man, answering Godfrey's description, loitering
upon the bridge, and afterwards throw himself into the
water.

Mr. Henbury, the Park-keeper, who has exerted him-
self very much in the case, told our informant that
Godfrey was much better, but not yet considered out
of danger. He had since once or twice repeated the
account of the outrage, and not wavered in the slightest
degree from his original statement. Mr. Henbury made
a report of the transaction yesterday at the Marylebone
Police-office, and it is the intention of Godfrey, as soon
as he can be moved with safety, also to attend at the
office and give an account of this extraordinary oc-
currence.

ACE BEWEEN A DEER AND A STEAM-EN-
' GINE.--- While the cars were coming down on Wednes-
day, a fine buck made his appearance on the track, and
bad a trial of speed with the locomotive. He kept the
track for two miles, when he was finally run off, or he
would have been run over. The sight must have been
deeply exciting and highly interesting, as the line of
road is perfectly straight, every inch of the contest was
witnessed by the passengers.--( Washington ( N.C.)
Gazette.
CLERICAL DISLOYALTY.--We were Very loth
to believe and give publicity to the following, but we
have it from so many persons whose credibility is be-
yond suspicion, that we have no resource left us but to
state it as we have received it day or two since,
a Clergyman of the Established Church entered the
shop of a confectioner in this town, and made some
trifling purchase, tendering payment in a coin above the
value of the goods. Among the change offered him
was one of the new shillings, bearing, of course, the im-
press of her Majesty Queen Victoria. The Clergy-
man, on heinc, handed this shilling, demanded of the
shopkeeper what it was, and in reply was told that it
was a shilling of the coinage of her present Majesty.
Pooh," said he, " take it back and give me another.
She is little better than an infidel.'" We should men-
tion that although we believe the above fact to be un-
happily beyond dispute, we are not in possession of the
name of the Clergyman in question, the shopkeeper, we
understand, refusing to give it up at present. Cer-
tainly if the name of the parson can be ascertained i
does behove the loyal portion of the public to make a
representation on the subject to the Home Secretary
and the Bishop of the diocese. Wolverhampton ought
not to be disgraced by the utterance of such
,treasonable
speeches within her walls.

It is contemplated in Switzerland to lower the
level of the lakes of Neufchatel, Bienns, and Morat,
by improvements in the rivers Thieile and Aar. Should
this project be realized, more than 30,000 acres of land
will be gained, and the periodical inundations which deco
late the Cantons will be at an end. The project has
existed for some years, but it has been resumed only
within a short period,

Mr. Arnold stated his own case, and in the course
of his cross-examination by Mr. Cockburn, the fol-
lowing questions and answers took place.
Mr. Cockburn.—For what purpose did you re-
quire a warehouse ?
Mr. Arnold.--I was inconvenienced from ha-
ving goods at my house in my office, and I required,
the warehouse for samples of sail cloth.—(Great
surprise manifested.)
Mr. Cockburn.—Pray were was the said cloth
prior to taking the warehouse ?
Mr. Arnold..ln the office with the corporation
papers, which accumulated so that I found it in-
convenient.
Mr. Cockburn.—Will you venture to swear that
the purpose of taking the warehouse was not to get
a vote for the Northwest Ward.
Mr. Arnold.--I will not swear it.
On further cross-examination, it was admitted by
Mr. Arnold that the store was part of premises let
by him to a Mr. Allen ; that the store could not
be entered without first going through the house of
Mr. Allen, who kept the key, and that he thought
the abatement would be about 3/. per annum from
Allen's rent.
Notwithstanding Mr. Cockburn argued the oc-
cupation to be colourable and mala fide, and not-
withstanding it was admitted by Mr. Arnold that
he was never rated for the store ; that the Overseers
did not know of the existence of such a store, and not-
withstanding no claim had been made to have th.e
same rated—
Held—(Mr. Durant dissentina)—Ciaittigood!!
Another case was that of Stephen Adey, who
holds a situation under the present Town-Council
of some 501. per annum.
The claim was also for " a warehouse ;" the
evidence was that it was taken from Bloomfield
(one of the Aldermen of the borough) at, he be-
lieved, 4/. per annum. On his cross-examination
it appeared that the claimant and Mr. Lander (an-
other paid servant of the Council) took the store
and were to pay 4/. together, and that they were to
keep the warehouse as long as the claimant liked.
The only articles the claimant could recollect to
have placed there were some miserable casks, which
he had previously kept at his own house.
It was in vain Mr. Cockburn urged that Ad
not being omitted from the Burgess Roll, had no
right to claim at all ; that a joint occupation was
insufficient ; that he had not occupied for three
years ; that he had neither been rated, nor claimed
to be rated for the store.
Held, as before—(Durant dissenting)—Claim
eacrood ! !
•
We shall continue to give some further speci-
mens of this Poole revision, which was terminated
by the Court at 25 minutes after 5 on Tuesday,
leaving a great number of cases undisposed of and
the lists unrevised. The greatest public indigna-
tion is excited, and a public meeting, attended by
upwards of 500 persons, took place the same even-
ing, of which further particulars will hereafter
appear.
ALLOWANCE 01=7' DEBTORS.--By
the 118th clause of the new Act, it is enacted, after
stating that the expenses of an insolvent •applying to be
discharged under the Act may be paid out of his estate
and effects, " that if the same shall not be sufficient for
that purpose, then that such expenses, or any art
thereof, may and shall, where the said Court shall be
satisfied that the prisoner has not the means of paying
the same, be paid and advanced out of the interest and
profit arising from any Government securities upon
which any unclaimed money produced by the estate and
effects of insolvent debtors may be invested, and in,
every such last-mentioned case the estate and effects of
such prisoner, which may then or may thereafter come
to the hands and be vested in the provisional or other
assignee or assignees, shall be liable in the first place to
repay the money so advanced and paid." It is under-
stood that a considerable sum, about 10,0001., has ac-
cumulated, but the Court have held that the section
has a prospective construction. An application was
made a few days since by an inmate of Whitecross-
street prison, named John Payne, to obtain an allow-
ance. He set forth in his affidavit a case of great
distress, and stated that his attorney would not file his
schedule unless he was paid 2/.los. The Court re-
quested corroborative proof; and Mr. Barrett, the
Govdnor, gave a certificate, whereupon the Court
ordered the sum of .51. to be paid out of the " interest
arising from unclaimed money." The Court will be
enabled, under this provision, to assist destitute insol-
vents, as no inconsiderable sum will be available arising
from the large sum now invested of unclaimed money
and dividends.

No WHEAT FROM IRELAND.---We lament to
learn from the Dublin Evening Post of last Tuesday,
that the deficiency in wheat is even worse than hag
before been believed, and that not a single grain will be
exported from Ireland during the ensuing twelve months.
" Wheat is about half a crop—that is to say, half a crop
already consigned to the maltster. In ordinary years
fit for the miller, for there have been
elan\rtg\f",
the export of wheat and flour to England averaged abotit
seven hundred thousand quarters. Had this season
turned out propitious, we should have exported 'i
from

whether the statement be erroneous—but of this we
quite certain, that not a single grain more will go from
this country to England for the next tw I

from Dublin state that
the rain was falling abundantly.
HANOVERIANS NOT ALIENS.— etitio was some time ago presented to the Court of Aldermennf rem .
Hermann
Christopher Bose, alleging that he was a ra-
tural born subject of this
country, • and claiming to be
admitted to the
efreedom of the City, having been born
in Hanover in the reign of George the Third, England
and Hanover being at that time under the dominion of
the same monarch. Upon that occasion, the petition was referred to the Police Committee, before whom Mr.
Laurie
appeared as Counsel for the petitioner, and was
heard at considerable length ; after which the Com-
mittee directed the City Solicitor to take the opinion of
the Recorder and the Common Sergeant upon the sub-
ject
of the petitioner's claim. Mr. Brand, of the City Soliciter's office, reported to the Committee the opinion I
of the Recorder and the Common Sergeant, which was 1
to the effect, that the Court of Aldermen might, in
their discretion, admit the petitioner to the freedom of
the City. It was moved and carried that the Committee I
should recommend to the Court of Aldermen to grant
the freedom of the City to Mr. Bose. Sir James Shaw, 1
the Chamberlain of London, through whose office the
freedoms pass, begged most earnestly that care would be I
taken in the Court of Aldermen, not to decide upon a
question of such moment without taking the opinions of
the Law-officers of the Crow
