BOW-STREET.

CARRIAGE ROBEERY.—William Daley, John Brown,
Philip Sidney, Ann Martin, and Louise Martin, were placed
at the bar, on remand, charged with being concerned in
stealing a leather bag from a carriage, containing property
to the amount of £250, the greaser part of which consisted
of jewellery, the property of Mrs. East, of 7, Curzon-street,
Mair Fair.

The facts of this case were fully reported in The Sun on
Monday last.
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO LADIES SHOPPING—AN OLD ACQUAINT-
ANCE.—An artful looking fellow, named William Hegan,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows :-
304 A, Harris, said—About five o'clock on Saturday
afternoon, I was in Regent•street, and saw the prisoner
standing behind two ladies who were looking in a shop
window. Observing that the prisoner had his hand through
a hole in his pocket, inserted in one of the ladies' pockets,
and as there was a large crowd coming up the street follow-
ing a rifle corps' band, I at once seized the prisoner's hand
while it was in the lady's pocket, which had the effect of
making the lady turn round, I asked her whether she had
lost anything, and she said her purse was quite safe, and as
that was the case she would not charge the prisoner. I
then took him to the station, where he told the inspector
that he was " an old acquaintance of the lady, and that he
was in the habit of carrying things which she could not
carry herself." (Laughter.) On being told that he had
better send to her he said " he had lost his diary—(laugh-
ter)—and did not know where she lived."
Prisoner—Why I was tipsy at the time.
Mr. Tyrwhitt (the prisoner having been at the court
before) committed him for three months with hard labour.

'SPORTING NOTES.

THE NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING,

The first Newmarket meeting commences to-day. Al..
though the racing will
not be remarkable for its abundance,
yet it will be long remembered on account of the great inte-
rests which it involves. Amongst the animals that have
engagements during the week are Old Calabar, the first
favourite for the Two Thousand ; Kettledrum, the winner
of the Derby; and Caller Ou, the St. Leger victrix. Several.
tsio-yr-olds, with whose reputation report has been favour-
ably busy, are also expected to show among the competitors.
The racing, however, will not be the sole attraction to racing
men, for it will occasion certain incidental movements in
connection with coming events, that may divert the current
of, or send into new channels, speculations on the TWO
Thousand, Chester Cup, and Derby. The stewards of the
Jockey Club, too, will not experience an idle week, for their
time and attention will be fully occupied by much routine
business (such as the passing of accounts for the racing year,
&c.), and several important questions which require imme-
diate consideration and a prompt solution. The annual meet-
ing of the Jocky Club will be held after the races on Wed-
nesday, and the result of the evening's deliberations will be
anticipated with much curiosity. TheCroagh Patrick scandal,
which took place at Goodwood last year, will it is expected
be explained by the answer of Mr. Blake to a letter addressed
to him in pursuance of the resolution passed on the Thurs-
day in the Houghton Meeting. An attempt will also be
made to bring the juvenile jockeys under control, by giving
the stewards the power of suspending them for a first
offence for any period not exceeding one year. Count
Batthyany will also bring forward a motion to make " the
stewards' decision final" at all race meetings in the full
acceptation of the word. The very vexed question of the
startership will perhaps be brought under consideration by
Mr. Alexander's very ill-timed notice for a substitute in
the place of Mr. M‘George. A new steward of the Jockey
Club will be elected in place of Admiral nous who retires
nd will be
electedby rotation,as

The Newmarket Handicap will be decided to-tnoarow
The French division will be represented by Gabriel!,
d'Estrees. From the running of Finlande in the Mtropoli-
, tan she must be, if trusted by the stable, difficult to beat.
Mr. Gratwicke won this race last year with Ebony, and
although he has got another favourite inYarra, I must con-
fess that I think very little of his chance. Carbineer last
year run Asteroid to a neck, at even weights, and if Sir
Joseph Hawley's horse was in at Bst. he would be backed
almost against the field. He is certain, if not the actual
winner, to be in the first flight at the finish. Ducat ought
to show to better advantage over this course than he did at

Epsom. If size will win a race he ought to be handy at the
finish, as he is large enough to draw a mail coach. Stan-
ton, 4 yrs, 7st, ran 14 times last year, and won five of his
engagements, but he will meet a very different class of
horses on the present occasion. The race, I expect, will be
carried off by the French confederacy by
GABRIELLE D'E STREE S.

CARBINEER may be second, and DUCAT third.
The Fourth Newmarket Biennial Stakes a race
scarcely second in importance to the Two Thousand
Guineas Stakes, exhibits a falling off in the number of
horses entered to the extent of twenty-one, corn-
pared with last year ; nevertheless, the sixty nomina-
tions are likely to furnish a pretty numerous field at the
starting post, and should Hubert, Express, Earl of Surrey,
Ashford, Duke Rollo, Brother to King of Diamonds, the
colt by Windhound out of Splitvote, Knight of the Bath,
Citadel, Gemse, Tolurno, and Caractacus all meet, the con-
test will be watched with immense interest. With the
capabilities of Citadel and Gemse we have yet to be made
acquainted, both being " dark." They may be all their
owners seem to fancy from the manner in which they have
been backed for the Derby; but as it is best to trust to
public running, Caractacus, Tolurne, and Hubert aze, so
far as it is possible for any one not behind the scenes to see,
alone worthy of public confidence. Tolurno's two year old
performances were more than respectable, and his running
this year no good judge can ignore, as he stayed the St.
Leger course well at Doncaster for the Spring Handicap,
though pitted against Conundrum at only 41b for the year.
Caracracus's performance, it must be admitted, is not so
good as that of Virago, who, in 1854, baat Muscovite, 5 yrs
at 211 b ; but it eclipsed that of Fandango and Canobie in
the two following years, as no good old horse was opposed
to either. With public running as a guide, Mr. Snewing's
colt can scarcely lose even should the Derby crack Hubert
be brought out to do battle for Colonel Townley. Costa
will win the Twenty-sixth Riddlesworth Stakes, Old Cala-
bar the 100 Says Sweepstakes, Ensign or Q. E. D. the
Sale Stakes, Farfalla the 50 Sovs Sweepstakes, and the
Coalition filly the Free Handicap.
The Derby Trial Stakes has an entry of 36, and is likely
to become one of the most popular races at Newmarket.
The conditions are that the four year olds must give the
three year olds 241 b, mares and geldings being allowed 51b,
while Derby and St. Leger winners are penalised 101 b;
winners of 1,000 sovs 71b, of 500 401 b ; the allowances
being to maiden three year olds 41b, maiden four year olds

71b, maiden four year olds having started three times and
never having received 50 sous as second 101 b, last mile and
a half of the Beacon Course. The race being thus a species
of handicap the weights stand thus :

Wingrave and Asteroid are the most worthy of support.
The latter will like the distance, but if Baron Rothschild
brings Wingrave out, I shall stand on him alone. In his
absence, Asteroid, if he has sufficiently recovered from his
accident, may pay his respects to the judge. The Column
Stakes will fall to Lorelei, the 60 Soya Sweepstakes to
Queen Elizabeth, and the Free Handicap on the Ditch
Mile to Sagittarius. The principal item on Thursday is the
Four Year Old Biennial, the entry for which, numerous
though it be, contains only one great name, and as that is
Caller Ou, the race requires to be analysed no further, Mr.
I'Anson's filly being fit and intended. The Three Year
Old Sweepstakes, of which there are no fewer than six,
may be dismissed in equally few words. The Aske seems
likely to go to Aske by the aid of Piccador, or at all events
to the North, as Hurricane is also engaged; Old Calabar
and Lorelei may renew their last`year's antagonism for the
100 Sovs Sweepstakes on the Ditch Mile; while the others
seem likely to fall respectively to Brother to King of Dia-
monds, Xnrullo, Farfalla, and the Knave. The Claret will,
very likely, be walked over for by Fairwater. unless op-
posed by The Drake ; Rouge Dragon and Dundee being
the only other horses engaged. The Two Year Old Stakes
must go to Lord Stamford by the aid of Livingstone, and
Hesper's recent running entitles him to most favour for
the Selling Stakes on the last half of the Abingdon Mile.
The only race of importance on Friday is the Port Stakes, in
which Kettledrum is engaged, and as he is likely to be only
opposed by Lord Glasgow's Clarissa colt, the contest is not
likely to be very interesting, nor one of any great duration.
—The Bennington, although it has only nine subscriptions
of 50 soya each, half forfeit, may be worth Old Calabar's
looking after, who, if he defeats Lorelei on the day pre-
vious, will in all probability be permitted to walk over.—
King of Hearts should win the Sweepstakes on the Ditch
Mile, and the Handicap on the T.Y.C. ought to fall to the
Babette filly.

The Marquis is again out of favour for the Two Thou-
sand, although he finds supporters for the Derby at 20 to 1,
but I expect he will see a much shorter price before the
day of the race. The same game was played with The
Wizard two years ago from a reported trial with Tom Bow.
line. My advice at present is to leave both Old Calabar
and The Marquis alone. If the former is wanted he will win
in a walk, but with the present mysterious movements in,
the market I would sooner trust to Alvediston, the
winner
last year of the New Stakes at Ascot.
