the first mile, when the favourite deprived Tadworth of the
lead, who shortly after dropped into the rear, Sycophant at
the same time taking the second place, and Watchfire draw-

Plate at Egham, F. Adams, the rider of Twilight, went di-
rect to Johnny Reeves (who was seated at the time) and
struck him a severe blow in the face, causing blood to fi3W
freely. Adams being a heavier and bigger lad the affair
created much indignation, and on the case being submitted
to the stewards, Admiral Rous and Lord Wm. Powlett, they
gave the following decision :—" Whereas as F. Adams,
jockey, assaulted John Reeves, jockey, and struck him in
the face without any apparent provocation in the weighing
room on the first day at the Egham race meeting, the
stewards order F. Adams to pay a fine of £lO to the Ben-
tinck Benevolent Fund. The stewards of all race meetings
are requested to prevent him riding in public until the said
fine be paid to Messrs. Weatherby.

VALETTA, Aug. 22.—Since sending off my last
letter her Majesty's gunvessel Alacrity, 4, Comman-
der K. E. Baird, arrived in this port on the 18th
inst. from Patras. She had been relieved there by
the paddlewheel sloop Trident, 3, Commander C. J.
Balfour. The screw gunvessel Foxhound, 4, Com-
mander the Hon. A. C. Hobart, also arrived here
yesterday afternoon with despatches from the Com-
mander-in-Chief at Corfu and a mail from that
island. The Foxhound left Corfu at 545 p.m. of
the 19th, leaving at anchor there the Marlborough,
131 (bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir 'W. Fan-
shawe Martin, K..C.8.), Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8.,
and the Algiers, 89, Capt. E. B. Rice. The Queen,
76, Capt. C. F. Hillyar, sailed from Corfu the same
day for the Piraeus, to relieve the Exmouth, 86,
Capt. J. A. Poynter, ordered home to be paid off.
The Algiers, it was expected, would proceed to
Messina, in addition to the Doris, 32, Capt. Sir F.
L. M'Clintock, and the Amphion, 36, Capt. A. G.
Gordon, already on the coast of Sieily watching Gari-
baldi's movements. The Foxhound received orders
to meet the Admiral at Zante, on her return from
Malta with the despatches expected by the
overland mail of the 18th inst. Having, how-
ever, sustained an accident to the coupling bolts of
her abaft at midnight of the 20th; be t--patese
here, she will not be able to go up with the mail
due to-night, and the Alacrity will take her place.
At a Court-martial held on board the Queen, a
Marine, named Francis Glynn, charged with
striking Sergeant Isaac Miller, R.M.A., was found
guilty and sentenced to ten years' penal servitude.
The Foxhound brought to Valetta a Marine, sen-
tenced to three months' imprisonment for prevari-
cating on the trial. I have also to report two cases
of assault by soldiers on non-commissioned officers,
which have occurred in this garrison. John
*Sweeny, a soldier of the 23d Royal Welch Fusi-
leers, was tried last week by general court-martial,
for wounding with his bayonet in the chest in two
places Corporal George Gay, of the same regiment,
against whom he had some grudge. Fortunately,
the wounds did not prove fatal. The prisoner, who
bore an indifferent character, was sentenced to ten
years' penal servitude. The other ease is that of a
soldier of the 25th Regiment, who was to have been
tried on Saturday for striking a sergeant, but,
having been taken ill, the trial has been postponed
until his recovery. The only ships of war in port
are the Hibernia ('oearing the flag of Rear-Admiral
H. J. Codrington, C. 8.), her tenders Growler and
Boxer, and the gnnvessels Alacrity and Foxhound.
His Excellency Sir H. G. Robinson, Governor of
Hongkong, and Lady Robinson arrived yesterday
by the Ceylon, en route from Hongkong to Eng-
land. On the 16th inst. Corfu was visited by a
violent thunderstorm, with heavy rain and strong
wind from the north-west. Here we have had for
the last fortnight very oppressive and sultry
weather. During the whole of that period there
has been nothing but one constant succession of
siroccos. The health of the soldiers and sailors,
nevertheless, continues good, and I hear similar
favourable accounts from Corfu.

A notice has been promulgated at Chatham that
the prize money to the officers and troops engaged in
the capture and sack of Delhi, in 1857, will be paid
on and after the Ist September,
on application at
Chelsea Hospital. The regiments to whom the
prize money will be distributed are the 6th Dragoon
Guards (Carabineers), 9th Dragoons, 52d Light In-
fantry, Ist battalion 60th Rifles, 61st and 75th.
A circular memorandum, addressed to the Royal
Engineers, was yesterday received at Chatham gar-
rison from the Horse Guards, announcing that in
future the period for which officers of the Royal En-
gineers shall be allowed leave of absence from the
corps without forfeiture of pay or servant's allow-
ance, shall be two months, of 62 days, when the
leave is taken for two consecutive months, the rule
being assimilated to that followed in the case of
officers holding staff appointments.
Major-General Stransham, Inspector-General of
the Royal Marine forces, completed his autumnal
visitation of the Woolwich division of the corps on
Tuesday, by witnessing a course of rifle practice in
the Plumstead Marshes, under the superintendence
of Acting Brigade-Major Bruce,
Royal Marine
Light Infantry. Thence the Inspector-General,
accompanied by his staff at Woolwich, proceeded to
'dr the liticittriehpading -duty
Deptford, under the command of Capt. Ellis. This
brought the half-yearly inspection of the division
to a conclusion. The Inspector-General desired the
commandant to notify to the men his satisfaction of
their steadiness under arms and their general move-
ments in the field. He also expressed his gratifica-
tion on the state of the several offices and depart-
ments throughout the division. In testimony of his
satisfactory inspection of the schools, the General
made several presents of money to the most merito-
rious pupils, and ordered them a public holyday.
An order was also issued yesterday by the General's
instructions that to mark his approbation of the
efficiency which he had witnessed all divisional
drills, parades, &c., for three entire days, would be
dispensed with to enable the non-commissioned offi-
cers and men to visit the International Exhibition.
Col. Mitchell, the commandant, was also pleased to
con-
fined to barracks. The Inspector-General will pro-
ceed to the Plymouth division on the Bth proximo.

LOVE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER OF 11
170(Thra WOMAN AND HER BROTHER.

Edward Cramphorn, aged thirty, a labourer, o
Manor-lane, Rotherhithe, was placed in the dock
at the Greenwich Police-court, yesterday, before
Mr. Traill, charged with wilfully stabbing Bridget
Mary Hartnett and Alexander Hartnett.
The parties wounded are now lying in a
dangerous state, the former in a room adjoleiree
the police-court, being unable to be removed, teed
the latter in Gut's Hospital, both suffering iron.'
severe wounds inflicted with a large clasp knife itt
the left side, the wound on the female being immee
diately under the breast, she also suffering from a
similar injury on the right arm.
Mr. Traill having been informed by Mr. Fisher,
surgeon, who was in attendance upon the female,
that she was in such a dangerous state as to render
it necessary at once to take her deposition, Lis
worship, accompanied by Mr. Bonstred, the chief
clerk, proceeded to the bedside of the unfortunate
female when the examination took place in the
hearing of the prisoner.
The female, a young woman of pleasing features,
about 25 years of age, stated that she first knew the
prisoner six years ago, at which time he was a mar-
ried man. She had seen nothing of him from that
time until the second Sunday in July of the present
year, when he sent for her to her sister's house,
having inquired after her among his fellow-work-
men and found out where she was. He then repre-
sented himself as a widower and proposed marriage
to her, the answer given by her being that she
thought it a hasty thing to do, and thatehe would
rather have time to consider over it ; but in con-
sequence of some persons saying if she married the
prisoner she would never have cause to regret it,
she was induced to'have the banns published at the
Roman Catholic church at Greenwich, the prisoner
at the time expressing a desire to the priest to
be received as a member of that Church him-
self. The banns having been twice pub-
lished, a communication was made to her
that the prisoner had greatly ill-treated his
wife, and that if she were married to
him she could only expect to receive simile:- ill-
treatment. She and her brother told the prefeeenar
what they had heard, which the prisoner said we's
not true, and expressed a desire to see his accusers
face to face. The engagement between them was
then broken off, but she afterwards visited at the
prisoner's sister's at Rotherhithe, and was there on
Tuesday evening when the prisoner returned from
his work, and on her leaving to reach her home at
Deptford by nine o'clock, the prisoner expressed
his intention of accompanying her, which she ob-
jected to, reminding him of what she and her
brother had before told him. He,
_however,_ per-
sisted in his intention, and having proceeded some
distance on the road he induced her to ge into a
public-house, where the prisoner met several of his
fellow-workmen, and remained some time, Wheil she
expressed her intention of proceeding home, at the
same time desiring the prisoner not to go farther
with her, as she was afraid of meeting her brother.

her until the morning. She and her brother's wife's
sister then ran in the direction of the latter's home,
to a spot where her brother was engaged on the
Metropolitan Main Drainage Works. Here the
prisoner was again remonstrated with, and was
told by her and her brother that he wouldehear on
the morrow what was intended, and on snbse-
qnently attempting to leave the prisoner he said he,
would have her life, followed her some distance and'
struck her in the breast three or four times, and
also on the right arm; and finding herself stabbed
she screamed " Murder," and "Police," and 'was
afterward removed to where she was then lying.
The prisoner declined putting any questions.
Mr. Matson, omnibus proprietor, Deptford, dee
posed to hearing a female voice fellng the prisorier'4''''' -----
that he might go his way and she would go her
own, and the prisoner replied, " That cuts me to
the heart." Witness then heard the sound of a blow,
and saw the female fall, and afterwards saw pri-
soner and the wounded man scuffling together, and
they fell. The prisoner, who had the knife in his
hand, said he had done what he intended.

This being the whole of the evidence of the wit-
nesses in attendance, the prisoner was conveyed last
evening to the bedside of the wounded man at Guy's
Hospital, whose deposition was then taken, being
the same in substance as that of his sister, given
above.

quite callous, and remained unmoved at the sight of
his injured victims, to Maidstone gaol.

the party so accused.

afterwards his brother came to the door of the toll_
box, and, putting his arm round the shoulders of
the deceased, took up a pistol belonging to the toll-
gate keeper, and saying something to deceased,
fired at her. She fell almost immediately, and was
picked up by witness's brother and the girl Haw-
kins, who was with her at the time. His brother
said he did not know the pistol was loaded, and he
expressed the deepest sorrow for what had occurred,
and gave himself up to the police.
The jury, after some deliberation, returned a ver-
dict of misadventure.
