SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

This bankrupt, the eldest son of the late Lord Chancel-
lor, was described as a barrister-at-law, and was for some
time the chief registrar of the London Court of Bankruptcy.
To-day was appointed for proof of debts. Mr. Chidley is
the solicitor to the bankrupt, who, it may be remembered,
was recently discharged from custody, under an applica-
tion made to Mr. Commissioner Goulburn. No accounts
have yet been filed, as this petition has been filed by a
creditor, but the debts are alleged to be over X 20,000. The
rule in this court is that when a bankrupt files his own
petiti6n he is compelled to put in the proceedings a three
days' statement of his affairs, but when a creditor inter-
feres such an account is not necessary. In the present in-
stance a number of debts were proved, but the full assets
will not be filed until the clay appointed for the examina-
tion and order of discharge.

POLICE INTELLIGENCES—This Day.

- s---

MARLI3OROUGH-STREET.

A GENTLEMAN CHARGED A SECOND TIME WITH ASSAULT-
ING TILE POLICE.-Mr. Wm. Anderton, of 81, Maddox-
street, gentleman, was charged before Mr. Knox, with
assaulting George Wilson, 156 C.
The constable was this morning running to ascertain the
1 case of a female screaming in Regent-street, when the de-
fendant closed against him and stopped him, and in doing
so the constable received a blow on the arm and the chest
from the defendant's umbrella. The constable then went
to take the defendant into custody, when tho defendant
gave him a blow in the face with his fist. The defendant
was then taken to the police-station.
In reply to Mr. Knox, the constable said ho had not
given the slightest provocation, and that the defendant had
been drinking.

The defendant said he was walking quick by, and the
constable came in collision wiih his elbow. If he had hurt
the constable he was sorry.
The constable said the defendant's conduct was inten-
tional.

Mr. Knox said it was asking him to believe a good deal,
when the defendant asked him to believe the constable ran
against him. The defendant was, he said, fined £5 or
a month a few days ago for assaulting a constable,
and he feared that circumstance was operating on the de-
fendant's mind. He should not go to the extent of fining
the defendant £5, but he must pay £3 or 14 days, and ho
would advise the defendant to leave the police alone.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.-FRIDAY.

Another heavy thunderstorm passed over Newmarket
during Thursday night, the rain falling in a perfect deluge,
and the flashes of lightning occurred with a rapid and vivid
intensity,followed by loud and prolonged peals of thunder.
This had the effect of clearing the atmosphere of a blight
which was particularly unpleasant on Thursday afternoon.
The clouds looked very threatening ; and some heavy
showers occurred during the day. Owing to the nature of
the soil, and the herbage on the heath, the course was not
particularly heavy, and the warmth of the sun soon ren-
dered it perfect "going." The meeting has been chiefly
remarkable for the almost total absence of speculation on
future events, and the morning was occupied as heretofore
in settling. Not one bet on the Derby or Goodwood events
came under our notice. The racing was very judiciously
appointed to commence at half-past 11, the last event being
set at 2 30, which enabled all to get off by the afternoon
special and reach London in reasonable time. A Handicap
Plate for all ages, T.Y.C., brought out eight only of the 17
on the card, Saladin being made a hot favourite at 5 to 2,
and he won easily by a length from Guardsman. The
match between Lord Westmoreland's Bavarde, 3 yrs, Bst
101 b, and Sir J. Hawley's Callipolis, 2 yrs, 7st 71b, was
productive of a deal of speculation, level money being
taken to large amounts; but eventually the young one
had the call, and justified the confidence of her sup-
porters by winning cleverly by three-quarters
of a length. Tho Handicap Sweepstakes for three-yr-olds
and upwards was contested by the five "coloured" on the
card. Effie was made a great favourite at 7to 4, Guards-
man being next in demand at 5 to 2, while 7 to 2 could be
had about Juliet ; and the old mare jumping off with the
lead, was never headed, and won by a neck from Guards-
man, whom Fordham brought out with ono of his superb
rushes. Tho Handicap Plato for two-yr-olds, over the
Chesterfield course, brought out twelve runners, the largest
field of the day. Blackthorn was a great pot at 2to 1,
Kinghorn and Miss Roland being supported at their re-
spective prices. The favourite was one of the first to show
in advance, but on breasting the hill he gave way to Miss
Roland, who, challenging Stoic, won easily by a length
and a half. The Queen's Plate brought out eight of the
twelve on the card, Fantail being supported for large sums
of even money. Soon after the start rain fell in torreqs,
entirely shutting out the view of the horses until nearly
home, when Fantail and Diana were seen a long way in
front of Real Jam, who headed the others by some lengths.
Fantail eventually won in a canter by a length ; the others
beaten off. The Plate of £lOO, last six furlongs of R.M.,
was won in a canter by Ambition, defeating the two
favourites Puebla and Ozone; and the Sweepstakes over
the T.Y.C. was carried off by Saffron, who still runs in
Admiral Rous's colours, the Duke of Beaufort having re-
turned the mare to the Admiral after the match yesterday.
We cannot take leave of Newmarket without testifying to
the extreme courtesy of Mr. Heavens, the station-master,
who gives every facility in his power to the members of
the press, enabling them to get off their parcels with
despatch. The following are full details of the running :

The twenty-second anniversary festival of this institu-
tion, the object of which is to provide pensions for aged
and infirm gardeners, and others connected with horticul-
tural pursuits, was celebrated last evening at the London
Tavern. J. R. Jeffery, Esq., of Woolton Hall, Liverpool,
occupied the chair. Amongst the gentlemen present were
Col. Scott, of the Horticultural Society ; Cul. Burnaby, of
the Grenadier Guards ; Mr. Sergeant Atkinson ; Donald
Nicoll, Esq. ; Col. Jacques ; G. F. Wilson, Esq., of the
Horticultural Society ; George Child, Esq.; G. Lee, Esq. ;
Fraser, Esq. ; Willy, Esq. ; Turner, Esq., and
about 150 other gentlemen.
The large room of the tavern was splendidly adorned
with choice exotics, the great display being made at the
top of the room behind the cross table. Here were some
of the finest foliage plants extant, intermixed with fuschias,
lilies, and geraniums of colossal dimensions. The tables
were profusely decorated with roses of every variety—the
general effect being of the most magnificent description.
The usual loyal and complimentary toasts having been
die posed of in the most telling manner,
The CHAIRMAN rose to give the toast of the evening. He
said ho called upon all to fill their glasses, bumpers, because
upon him devolved the pleasure and privilege of proposing
the toast of the evening—it was " Prosperity to the Gar-
deners' Royal Benevolent Institution." (Cheers.) The
society was of a most unpretending character, because it
had neither to contend with poverty nor riches, yet if
the company ho had the happiness of seeing
before him were to embarass its officers with
riches, he dared say they would not consider it an inflic-
tion. (Laughter.) When he looked upon the luscious
fruit and the beautiful flowers beneath which the tables
groaned, ho felt he need hardly say a word in behalf of
those whose business it was to produce and bring them to
perfection ; but a task had been imposed upon him, and
therefore ho had to endeavour to discover the
hiding place of Aaron's rod which was to strike
therock, viz., the breeches pocket—(laughter)—from which
was to rush that refreshing stream which fructified as it
flowed. (Cheers.) They had that night to take steps to
keep alive some old and valued plants that had nobly done
their work and now required their kind sympathy and
attention. They had 57 of them, viz., 30 females
and 27 males, whose average age was 76. He felt
he should not appeal to them in vain, and in that
P •
leasant belief his task became a light and pleasing
one. Ile asked those who had their corridors filled
with some of the finest specimens of painting and
sculpture, and their gardens with fragrant flowers, which
of those they would rather forego, and he felt that each
one present would willingly yield the former in order
to give themselves up to the gratifying indulgence of the
latter. If that was so it surely became their duty to
think of those who assisted them, and gratitude alone
would render it their duty to see that their latter days
were made peaceful and pleasant. Gardening had its
honours as well as other pursuits, in illustration of ,
which ho pointed to his departed friend Sir Joseph Paxton.
(Cheers.) Ile, from being a gardener in the service of the
Horticultural Society, at 18s. a-week, by his indomitable
perseverance lived to become the associate of a duke, a
member of the British Parliament, to have his name en-
rolled as one of the aristocracy of the British realm.
(Cheers.) The society was founded in 1838, but its pros-
perity commenced in 1842, when they had the happiness
of securing the services of their energetic and untiring
secretary. He found the institution had distributed in the
gross no less a sum than £12,700, and that they had still a
shot in the locker, in the shape of £5,000 of funded stock
—(hear, hear)—and ho felt he spoke the sentiments of
every ono present when he hoped that the institution
might double that amount in half the time they had been
in getting tho £5,000 together. Ho would say no more,
but resume his seat, commending the toast most strenuously
most ardently, and most sincerely, to the kindly considera
tion of every one present.

The toast was responded to with the greatest enthu.
siasm.

Mr. Serjoant ATKINSON said a duty had been imposed
upon him which was of the most pleasing nature—it
. •

was to propose the health of the chairman. More words

than the mere announcement of the simple fact were un

necessary, as all knew him to be one of Nature's noblemen

(Loud cheers.)

This toast was also most enthusiastically responded to.
The CHAIRMAN said, when he was applied to, he felt it
his duty to respond to the request made to him to preside
that evening, but he was quite at a loss adequately to re-

turn thanks for the manner in which his health had been

received. It had been put in such a flattering manner and

received so warmly, that he could only express the hope
that the chair would be filled on future anniversaries by

gentlemen who felt as great an interest as ho did in the

well-being of the institution.
The health of the secretary having been proposed and
warmly responded to,
Mr. CUTLER said he certainly could not convey to them
the feelings he then experienced. He had done his best
for the institution, and it was an inexpressible pleasure to
find those exertions worthy of such special recognition.

It was peculiarly gratifying for him to announce that the
subscriptions received that evening amounted to the
largest sum they had ever received—viz., 380 guinea;
amongst which was the chairman's list, which amounted
to 80 guineas. (Cheers.)

The musical party embraced the names of Miss Poole
(the Queen of English ballad singers), Mr. G Perren,
Mr. L: Thomas, and Mr. Cumming; and a more delightful
selection of pieces we never remember to have listened to.
