THAMES.

Mr. Partridge, who has enjoyed a seven weeks' vacation,
returned to the court this day, and commenced business at
ten o'clock. Mr. Paget, his colleague, has presided in the
court every day (Friday last excepted, when Mr. Wool-
rych officiated) since and including the 9th of August, and
has got through an immense quantity of business, com-
mencing regularly at ten o'clock in the 'morning precisely,
and frequently sitting until seven and eight o'clock in the
evening. He has not left a single undisposed case fur the
adjudication of Mr. Partridge. Mr. Paget having
taken his holiday in the early part of the sum-
mer the business of the court will be proceeded with
regularly until next summer, each magistrate presiding
three days in each week. An additional force of clerks is
much wanted in this over-worked court. Two clerks
were appointed when the court was established 75 years
ago, and at that time there were three police courts in the
district, the population of which has increased tenfold.
The business of the Thames police court, now the only
one in the district, has increased in like proportion, but the
number of clerks has not been increased, and the two
gentlemen, Mr. Pyer and Mr. Bowdler, now officiating,
have—even with the able assistance of Mr. Livingston,
the chief usher—more than once broken down under their
heavy labours.
A STRANGE FREAK.—Elizabeth Irving, a smartly-dressed
young woman with hat and feathers, was brought before
Mr. Partridge charged with being drunk and disorderly,
and recklessly and furiously driving a horse and cab in
the East India-dock-road, Limehouse.
Henry Peters, a police constable, No. 185 K, stated that
at 12 o'clock last night he saw the prisoner .on the box
of a cab with the whip in her hand, and flogging
the horse, which was proceeding at a rapid pace
along the road. The cab was full of sailors, who
were shouting and hallooing, while the licensed driver
was running after the horse and cab, and calling
out to the prisoner to stop. She continued driving most
recklessly, first on one side of the road and then on the
other, until she made a dash on the footpath and the cab
was stopped. Ho asked the prisoner what she meant by
such a strange freak, to which she replied, " That is my
business, not yours." She attempted to jump off the cab on
the way to the station-house, and was very noisy and
violent. The owner and driver of the horse and cab had
promised to attend, and had not done so.
The prisoner said she handled the whip like a regular
Jarvey. She assigned too much wine as the reason for
her freak.

Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner 205., and in default 10
days' imprisonment.

MARKETS--This Day.
--
METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Although the supply of beasts in to-day's market was
only moderate, the demand for all breeds was heavy, at a
decline in the quotations compared with Monday of 2d.
per 81bs. The top figure was ss. 4d. per 81bs. We had a
very fair inquiry for sheep, at 2d. per 81bs. less money.
The general top price was 6s. 6d. per 81bs. Calves were
in good request, at enhanced rates. The quotations
ranged at from 4s. 6d. to ss. Bd. per 81bs. There was a
good sale for pigs, on rather higher terms. In milch cows
scarcely any business was doing. The general quality of
the stock was very middling.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
WEDNESDAY. •

A match was made last night which will go far to redeem
a rather dull meeting from a charge of flatness. Archimedes
and The Duke have been matched over tho Rowley Mile,
Bst 101 b each, for 1,000 guineas, to come off to-morrow, and
the event bids fair to be highly interesting and give rise to
a good deal of speculation.

Never was there such a dull time, by the way, as the
layers are now having. The Rooms at night boast a fair
attendance, but- business is very trifling, and that, too,
with the great Autumn Handicaps so soon set for decision.
Post betting is rapidly becoming the new order Of things,
and, wiith•the exception of bookmakers, no ono regrets the
change. .
The heat to-day was intense, the attendance 'small, and
the racing unimportant. Breadalbauc landed the odds laid
on him in the. Seventeenth Triennial in a common canter,
beating, liowever,'nothing more important than Out-and-
Outer, Furze Chat, and -Thalassins. Lady Sophie, at 10
to 1 against her,.!squandered a great favourite in Langhath
for the Granby Stakes.

After running a few strides the lead was taken up by
Pantaloon on the lower ground, folloWed by Filbert, War-
rior, and Jupon into the cords, where they grey was beaten,
leaving the race with the three placed. Pantaloon held his
o tp- within half a dozen strides of the chair, when Storey
brought up Filbert, and, catching the favouritesi the last
stride, finished with a dead heat. Jupon was-a bad third.
Deciding Heat—Betting—a to 4 on Pantaloon, who
waited upon the non-favourite to half-way in the cords,
when he went up and won by a length and a half.

and 6 to 1 agst Willie Sharpe.
Willie Sharpe, lying wide of his horses, 'jumped away
with a clear lead, followed by Pinchbeck and Ilazeldean,
Loaf Sugar, who ran unkindly, bringing up the rear. On
entering the cords Lord Stamford's colt had his horses
beaten, and cantered home the winner by three lengths ; a

lead of Indian Star and Viper to the dip, when she drew
away and won in a canter by a length and a half. There
were two lengths between the second and third ; Madcap
finished a bad fourth. Mr. Porter claimed the winner, and
Captain Machell Indian Star.

Out-and-Outer was the first away, closely attended by
the favourite, Mathilde, and Furze Chat to the Bushes-hill,
where Mathilde dropped back, and as they descended the
hill Breadalbane drew forward, and, assuming the command
as they entered the Abingdon-mile bottom, he came on
with a commanding lead, and won in a canter by ten
lengths. Furze Clint and Thalassius, who headed Out-
and-Outer at the cords, finished a punishing race home for

The lot got away upon equal terms, with the exception
of La Dauphine, who jumped round immediately after the
flag fell, and was left at the post. After settling into their
places, Lady Sophie took a slight lead, closely pressed by
La Germaine, the favourite, and Lothario, to half-way in
the rails, where Goater quitted his horses, and won a fine
race by three parts of a length, La Germaine defeating
Langham by a neck for second, a similar distance separat-

TIIE CHINESE GIANT.—We have received some
cartes de visite, by the London Stereoscopic Com-
pany, of Chang, Laiy Chang, and the comic little dwarf.
They are a series of mast remarkable portraits, and cannot
fail to attract great attention. We understand the giant
left his "chop" on the walls of the studio of the company
some ton feet from the floor.

THE GRAPE-CURE.—Dr. Herpin of Metz gives
some good advice on this subject in his recent work,
"Du Raisin et de sea applications therapeutiques. The
quantity of grapes, to be eaten daily, is by no mear.s arbi-
trary ; it varies according to the object the patient has in
view. If the digestive organs are to be stimulated, the
quantity should be increased and taken fasting. White
grapes, rather watery, not too ripe nor to sweet, are the
best in that case. If only the organs of assimilation are to
be stimulated, and the general constitution gradually im-
proved, then a less quantiy should be eaten daily, and the
cure continued for six or eight weeks. The daily supply may
vary between three and eight pounds, to be taken in three,
four, or five repasts, with some moderate exercise in the
interval. The patient should begin the cure with a
smal
l
quantity, say one or two pounds per diem, and gradually
increase it. The skins and pips should be rejected. Dr.
Curched says that the daily ration should be divided into
three parts, the first, consisting. of a pound and a half or
two pounds, to be taken between half-past 6 and 8 a.m.,
and the other two at least half-an-hour before each meal.
Excess should be avoided, since it may cause nausea,
and make tho patient loathe all kinds of grapes. Per-
sons of delicate constitution should avoid eating grapes
too cold. The lees remaining after the juice has been
pressed out of the grapes are often used as a
dry bath in wine-growing countries. These lees
are nearly dry, but still contain a small quantity of
water and a considerable proportion of sugary matter
which adheres to the inside of the skin. When col
lected in a heap, the lees ferment in the course of two
or three days, heat is developed within, and carbonic
acid is exhaled together with other vapours having an
agreeable smell of alcohol and ether. The inner tem-
perature of the heap is then too high to be easily
borne in thrusting in one's hand. When the tem-
perature is about 35 Centigrade or under, a hole is
made in the heap, and the patient is put in naked and
well covered with lees skp to his neck, taking care to pre-
vent his being inconvenienced by the evolution of car-
bonic acid, which might cause vertigo and even asphyxia.
In this state he may remain from half an hour to two hours,
during which he perspires very copiously. On leaving the
bath he must immediately be taken to a warm bed, where
the perspiration continues. This bath is repeated for se-
veral days, :and is prescribed with success in obstinate
rheumatism, Weakness of limbs, sciatica, and similar affec-
tions.
