SPORTING MI ELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.—MoNDNy.

The first of eight races was run under a brilliant sun-
shine on the further side of the ditch, where a large con-
course of visitors were assembled at a quarter before ono
o'clock. The success of Lord Glasgow on the occasion was
also a success to the betting men, for only two of the run-
ners Were backed. Immediately after the race his lord-
ship's Stockwell colt received a fillip for the Two Thousand
Guineas Stakes, but did not shake the favourites in the
market. The next event had a somewhat similar effect
upon Nottingham, one of whose trial horses, Rising Sun,
won a match in a canter, although it defeated a very mo-
derate animal. A good day's sport was finished by a dead
heat being run off before five o'clock. Between the different
events the great race of the morrow occupied men's atten-
tion, and the betting upon it when we quitted the course
was as quoted below.

Night Revel made the runniug at a bad pace, followed by
Roesia, the Anxiety filly, and Doglia, the others, headed
by Paste, lying off until they neared the entrance into the
Beacon Course, where Paste drew up, in company with
Arcadia, and the Miss Sarah filly, end came on with a clear
lead, which she held to the foot of the hill, where Lord
Glasgow's filly obtained the second place, and waited upon
Paste to half-way up, then quitted her without an effort,
and won cleverly by a length. Arcadia, who stopped as if
shot, was beaten four lengths for second, the Anxiety filly
was fourth, and the others passed the post as placed by the
judge.

Some little delay occurred through the favourite jumping
round and running towards the ditch. Immediately the
flag was lowered Asteroid jumped away with a clear lead on
the upper ground, followed by Cape Flyaway in the centre,
and the Miss Whip colt. In this way they ran into the

where he was caught by the Frenchman, the pair finishing
a fine race with a dead heat. Erythia was beaten off some
lengths.

compact order, but immediately after Furious rushed to the
front and made the running, followed on the upper ground
by _Cowley, Confectioner. Cock Robin, and Dr. Pusey,
the latter 'tinning extremely green, with the others lying
up. On reaching the Bushes Hill, Cowley held a clear
lead of several lengths, Confectioner going on second, with
Furious, the Physalis colt, and Blackcock lying wide on
the lower side next. In this way they ran into the bottom,
where Lord Glasgow's colt and Furious passed Confec-
tioner, and went on in attendance upon Cowley, the three
finishing a good race home, Cowley winning after some
rousing by the neck; a length and a half between the
second and third. Blackcock was fourth, Confectioner

The following absurd and egotistical paragraph appears
in several of this morning's papers. The writer evidently
imagines that no gentleman in London knows anything
about City betting but himself

" BETTING IN LONDON.
" Our usual reporter wishes it to be understood that he
is in no way responsible for the quotations of " City Bet-
ting," which have been published in some of the papers
without his sanction. Their inaccuracy is so absurd that
this announcement is scarcely necessary."

THE LATE MysT3IRIOUS DEATH 01
SOLICITOR.

Yesterday morning Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the
deputy-coroner for the county of Middlesex, re-
sumed the adjourned inquest at the Town of Rams-
gate Tavern, High-street, Wapping, respecting the
death of Mr. Edward Warren, aged '65 years, a
solicitor, who was found dead in the River Thames
under very mysterious circumstances.
rue roiiowing aodittutio.: ovideuce was adduced

James Hammond, the proprietor of the Oxford.
Arms Inn, Warwick-lane, City, said that the de-
ceased occasionally lodged at his house, and the last
time he engaged a room was on the Bth of April.
He had known him about five years. He left wit-
ness's house on the 14th. He never knew what his
profession was, and he only took two meals with
the family. .de told witness that be had 200 acres
of wheat under water through the late floods. The
deceased expected his wife in London on the 13th.
That day he sat at the coffee Teem window. She
did not come, and he seemed much annoyed. On
the next morning he left to get some snuff, and
never returned; and witness never saw him again.
A letter came afterwards directed to deceased,
which was kept for three days ; and as he did not
return, witness sent the letter by post to his (de-
ceased's) address at Sandwich. The deceased wan
very strange in his manner, and would talk very
much at times.
A letter, of which the following is a verbatim
copy, was produced :
" Police-office, Sandwich, May 5.
" Sir,--I enclose the original letter sent by Mr.
Warren to Mr. West. I have known Mr. Warren
many years. He was an itinerant sham lawyer,
and I believe he was in London for the purpose of
searching the registry at Doctors'-commons for the
will of a gentleman named Morrice. Ire was very
much addicted to drinking, and was hardly ever
sober. Mr. Warren
will attend the inquest on Mon-
day. Warren was a member of one of the City com-
panies and, I think, either the Merchant Tailors'
or the Goldsmiths' Company. He was a
large watchmaker some years ago in the city of
London, and occasionally did receive contributions
from ono of the said companies by way of relief.—
Yours obediently,
"JOAN D. WARMAN, High Constable.
gg To Inspector Cox, Thames Police."
After some further evidence,
The jury returned a verdict, "That the deceased
was found dead in the river Thames, and died from
drowning, caused by his own act, while in a state
of temporary insanity, brought on by pecuniary
difficultie."
