The disputed race for the 1i.,-,:ntingdonshire Stakes was
the great topic of conversation this afternoon. The stew-
ards of the meeting decided that the stakes should be
wthe second horse, it having been
aproavreddeci tothat Claxton, Suspicion,atonoho came in first, had been struck out
of his engagements on the let of August, and consequently
could not legally be considered as in the race.
The question of bets was gone into this afternoon by two
of the committee of Tattersalls', and the following extra-
ordinary decision arrived at :

A VETERAN.—On the 7th inst. an old man, named
Alexander Aitken, died at No. 4, Chalmers'-build-
ings, Edinburgh, after having seen an amount of service and
taken part in a series of important engagements such as
seldom falls to the lot of even the longest-lived and most
distinguished sodiers. Alexander Aitken enlisted in the
42d Highlanders in 1793 (72 years ago), and served with
his regiment in Flanders when the English conquered Hol-
land. He afterwards served under Sir Ralph Abercromby
in Egypt, and was present at Corunna, Fuentes d'Onor,
Pyrenoes, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, Toulouse, the Peninsula,
and at Waterloo. He was also at the taking of the Island
of Minorca, and at the time of his death was supposed to
have been the only non-commissioned officer who .was
present when Aborcromby was carried off the field of battle.

The Attempted Murder at Chatham.

Yesterday the prisoner John Currie, 36th company of
Royal Engineers, who stands charged with having shot
Major Francis Horatio do Vere, with the intention of kill-
ing him, was brought up before the magistrates at the
Chatham Police-court for examination. The magistrates
on the bench were the Rev. J. J. Marsham, chairman, and
Mr. Thomas IL Baker.

The prisoner, as already described, is a very young man,
his age, as given by himself, being 19. During his brief
examination and while before the magistrates he appeared
to treat the matter with the utmost indifference, and was,
apparently, the only unconcerned spectator in the court.
He is about sft. Bin. in height, and has a mild expression
of countenance.

Superintendent Everist said he charged the prisoner with
having, with malice aforethought, fired a loaded rifle at
Major Francis Horatio de Vero, at Brompton barracks, on
Friday afternoon last, with intent to kill and murder him.
Mr. Furrell, clerk to the magistrates, after reading over
the charge to the prisoner, asked him if he had anything to
say why he should not be remanded.
Prisoner—No, sir, I have nothing to say.
Mr. Marshara—Then you are remanded until Wednes-
day next.

The prisoner was then immediately removed, the whole
proceedings occupying but two or three minutes.
Currie continues to display the same dogged demeanour
which he has exhibited ever since the occurrence, and his
only regret, from his frequent remarks to that effect,
would appear to be that he did not succeed in his in-
tention to take Major De Vere's life, the one topic on
which he continues to dilate being that officer's alleged
"tyranny" towards him. The prisoner has been visited
by his father, who occupies a respectable position in the
neighbourhood of London, and in reply to his regrets to
find him guilty of such a crime, he only answered that
Major Do Vere did not deserve to live.

From inquiries made yesterday afternoon it was stated
that Major Do Yore was a trifle better, and from the fact
of his having lingered so long hopes are entertained of 145
ultimate recovery.

THE UNITED STATES.

(From the Times Correspondent.)
PHILADELPHIA, July 31.
The subject engrossing the almost exclusive 4t-
tention of the people of the United States is the
condition of affairs on the Rio Grande. The greatest
uncertainty exists as to the real state of affairs;
for fully nine-tenths of the reports we receive
from that region are manufactured by specula-
tors to affect the gold and corn markets. These
speculators seem to have a complete system in opera-
tion, their agents being widely extended, and each
echoing the other's falsehood, or capping it by a still
greater one. There is no source of news from
Mexico that is not liable to grave suspicion, and it
is almost a hopeless task to attempt extracting the
truth from such a mass of lies. Several reports of
the rast week are now positively contradicted—
among them the stories that Americans in Sinaloa
were maltreated by Maximilian's agents ; that Gene-
ral Brown had promised Federal aid to the Liberals,
and had rent them a regiment of troops ; that an
Imperial army of 35,000 men was to be quartered at
Matamoras to watch the Federal movements on the
Texas side of the river, and that M. Eloin, Maxi-
milian's agent, was in Washington, endeavouring,
without success, to procure a Presidential audience
to urge the recognition of Maximilian's empire. All
these stories are falsehoods, and so many more that
continually arise are dissipated by the next day's
news that it would be idle for me to contradict
them.

13ERWICK.

A meeting of the farmers residing in the neigh-
bourhood of Berwick was held in the Corn Ex-
change of that town on Saturday, to consider what
measures i:hould, be adopted to prevent the spread
of the cattle disease. The meeting was largely
attended by farmers—Mr. J. Wilson, of Edington
Mains, occupied the chair.
Mr. GLENDINING reported a conversation he had
had with M. Superintendent List of the Berwick-
shire County Constabulary. Mr. List suggested a
committee should be formed with a paid secretary,
and that its meetings should be held at Dunse; that
small committees should be elected in each parish,
and that the duty of such committees should be to
obtain all the information they could as to cattle
coming into the district, to see they were not dis-
eased, and to watch over them for some time. Mr.
List would order the county police to watch all the
railway stations, and give information to the com-
mittee of cattle coming into the district. He would
ascertain where they had conic from, and for whom
they were consigned. Mr. List also suggested that
a circular should be sent to all the dealers and
breeders of cattle in the neighbourhood, warning
them to see that the cattle they purchased were free

The CHAIRMAN thought that the suggestions of Mr,
List were very valuable, and would prove of great
benefit to the farmers.

Mr. M'GALL suggested that a mutual assurance
society should be formed among the farmers for the
purpose of compensating those who might lose their
cattle through the plague ; but as a meeting had to
be held at Dunse on Tuesday it was thought better
not to discuss the question till then.
A great deal of conversation ensued as to the pro-
priety of taking immediate steps, and the conclusion
come to was that a deputation should attend the
meeting at Dunse on Tuesday, to confer with the
farmers who would there assemble ; and that the
chairman should write to the chairman of the Cham-
ber of Commerce at their meeting in Edinburgh,
suggesting to them the necessity of writing to the
Home Secretary, calling upon him either to prevent
the importation of foreign cattle into the country or
to put a quarantine upon all vessels coming into this
country with cattle. The motion was unanimously
agreed to, and the meeting shortly afterwards sepa-
rated.

There will be a very strong opposition in Newcastle
and the mining and manufacturing districts of
Northumberland and the North to any attempt to
prohibit foreign cattle from being imported into the
Tyne. Considerable numbers are brought in weekly,
and they have had a tendency to check the advance
of prices at the cattle market, which were rapidly
putting it out of the power of large sections of the
working classes of purchasing animal food. Very
great care is being taken by the municipal officers
and the Custom-house authorities that no diseased
cattle be landed, and down to the present time
foreign cattle have been brought to the Tyne free
from disease and in good condition.

ALLEGED ABDUCTION OF A NUN.

Mr. CAVE moved an address for a copy of official cor-
respondence with her Majesty's Government relative to the
abduction of a nun named Mary Ryan.

THE OFFICERS OF THE GREENWICH UNION.
Mr. MAGUIRE asked the President of the Poor-
law Board whether his attention had been drawn
to the acts of illegality brought home to
the paid officers of the Greenwich Union in connection with
the cases of Mary Moriarty, Julia Hannon, and others ;
and, if so, whether any and what official cognisance had
been taken by the Poor-law Board of the conduct of
the officers concerned. And whether the circum-
stances connected with these and similar cases of re-
moval to Ireland do not call for amendment of the law ;
and, if so, whether the Government were prepared to pro-
pose such amendment without delay ?
Mr. VILLIERS said that in 1860 the law on this subject
had beon amended, and instead of Irish paupers being
merely deposited on the coast of Ireland, they were con-
veyed to their native parishes. The cases alluded to arose
from a departure from that amendment, and had formed
the subject of an enquiry.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasirg applications through the
recent storms and less ( f life at sea, and to enable them
even ually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.—Charles Davey, a commission
agent, of 3, Thaves-inn, Holborn, was charged before Mr.
Knox with being drunk, and knocking at several doors in
Titchfield-street and Dean-street, Soho.

•
Abel Dickins, 306 A, said he resided at No. 1, Titchfield-
street, Soho, and about half-past 12 that morning he was
awoke by loud knocking at his door. Thinking there was
a fire he began dressing himself, but before he could do so
eight or ten more loud knocks were given at the door. He
then went down and opened the street door, and saw the
prisoner with some others a short distance off. The pri-
soner came to the door and asked him if Mr. Phipps lived
there, and he told him he did not, and the prisoner then,
with his companions, went and knocked at several doors
in Dean-street, the prisoner saying to. the others, "Let's
have our spree out." He (Dickins) then went after the
prisoner, and he was taken into custody.
Sergeant Cooke, 7 C, said the prisoner was drunk.
Mrs. Isabella Borst, of No. 98, Dean-street, Soho, whose
husband is an invalid, said she was awoke, as were all the
the persons in the house, by hard knocking at the door a
little before one that morning, the impression being that
the house was on fire.

Mr. Knox told the prisoner he ought to be ashamed of
himself. He should fine him 20s. or fourteen day.
RIOTOUS CONDUCT IN A WORM:MUM—Five young
women, named Ellen Andrews, Ellen Mears, Sarah Smith,
Elizabeth Phillips, and Eliza Geering, were brought before
Mr. Knox charged with refractory conduct in St. Martin's
Workhouse.

Randell, the porter of the workhouse, said that on the
previous night the prisoners were admitted into the
casual ward, and some time after they created a great dis-
turbance.

A nurse in the sick casual ward said the prisoners made
a great noise, screamed out Fire," and pulled the tables

THE PEABODY GIFT.

The TOWN CLERK, when the public were re-admitted,
read a letter from Mr. P. Cazenove, of Threadneedle-street,
accompanying a full length portrait of Mr. George Pea-
body, whose magnificent gift of £150,000 for the benefit of
the poor of the metropolis will be in the recollection of the
public. The letter prayed the Court to accept the portrait,
and to place it in some appropriate position in the Guildhall.

Alderman J. C. LANVIIENCE then moved the following
resolution :—" That this Court accepts with much satisfac-
tion the portrait of George Peabody, Esq., and refers it to
the City Lands Committee to hang the picture in some com-
manding position, and that the Town Clerk be requested to
convey in suitable terms the thanks of the Court to Mr.
Cazenove for his magnificent present."

s--. Mr. MAYNARD seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.

TILE METROPOLITAN SEWAGE.
Mr. H. A. ISAACS moved that "Tho thanks of the Court
be presented to Baron Liebig, President of the Royal
Academy of Science of Munich, for his very valuable and
elaborate communication upon the subject of the utilisation
of sewage, and that the same be ornamentally written on
vellum, framed and glazed, at au expense not exceeding
twenty guineas, and transmitted to Baron Liebig."
Mr. LAwLEY seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously.

Mr. LoNODEN presented a petition from the commanding
officer of the Ist City of London Artillery Volunteer Corps,
asking for the use of the Guildhall occasionally for the
purpose of drilling.

The petition was referred to the City Lands Committee.
ACCOMMODATION FOR SPECIAL JURYMEN AT GUILDHALL.
Mr. BURKE moved that it be referred to the City Lands
Committee to consider whether any steps can be taken to
provide accommodation for the gentlemen summoned to
serve on special juries while in attendance at Guildhall.
He characterised the present want of proper accommodation
as most disgraceful. _ _

A short discussion took place upon this motion, during
which Mr. H. L. TAYLOR expressed his opinion that it
would be useless to refer the matter to the City Lands Com-
mittee, as they had no space at their disposal that could be
appropriated to such a purpose as the one referred to. He
also urged that as there would soon be new courts of law
erected, it was quite unnecessary to take any steps in the
matter at present.
A division eventually took place, when the motion was
carried by a majority of two.
