year toward the reduction of the public debt, except the
sum of $586,631 for the purchase from the land fund of
the loan of 1847. With regard to the public debt of the
State, it appears that on the 20th November, 1851, it
amounted to $62,560,395 26c., exclusive of the stock
authorised to be delivered to Texas by act of Congress of
9th September, 1850, amounting to $10,000,000 ; of
which $5,000,000 of certificates were ready and awaiting
the demand of that State at the date of the last annual
report ; that amount has since been delivered to the
authorised agent of the State of Texas, thus increasing
the aggregate registered debt to $67,560,395 26c. The

TROTTING EXPOSURES'.

THE FLYING CLOUD AND JOCKEY MATCH AT NEWTON,

IN 1852.

Some rather startling disclosures relative to this well-
remembered match were made at the Birmingham Dis-
trict Court of Bankruptcy, before Mr. Commissioner
Balguy, on Friday week, the 28th of January, in the
case of James Ford, of Wolverhampton, cattle dealer,
at a meeting for the choice of assignees. Mr. Knight
appeared for the petitioning creditor, and Mr. Solomons
(of the firm of J. and S. Solomons, solicitors, London).
Proof was tendered on behalf of Mr. Levi, clothier,
of London, for 2301., upon two bills of exchange ; but
this gave rise to an objection, on the ground that no con-
sideration had been given for the bills. The bankrupt,
in his examination, said, " The signatures on the two
bills now produces are mine ; one is for 1001., and the
other for 1301. The one dated 4th October is payable
three days after date for 130/., and the other, bearing
date four days after at fourteen days after date, both
drawn in favour of Abraham Simmonds, who is a part-
ner of Levi's. I did not owe him a farthing when I
gave him the bills. Simmonds came to my house
at Wolverhampton in September, and asked me if I
had not got a pony.. I replied in the affirmative ;
upon ' which he observed to me that he had got
a very good horse, and then asked me to !nevi
a sham match with him, which I agreed to; and the
nouncement was made. It was arranged between us
that my pony should win. A day or two before he men-
tioned that he did not know much good of me, and that,
if my pony won, as was agreed upon, I should draw
4601., and he begged that I would give him bills fur
half the amount, which I csnsented to—those now pro-
duced. He afterwards backed my pony, by his friends,
at 10 to 1, and hearing this, I locked my stable door,
and refused to let the pony start. On the night the race
was to have been run I asked for the bills back and
Simmonds said I should have them the next day. I did
not draw one farthing from the pretended race. I would
not let my pony run when I found that the other party
were backing the pony at such outrageous odds." Mr.
Solomons distinctly denied that Simmonds was a part-
ner of Levi's and cross-questioned the bankrupt as to
his furniture, which had been sold immediately preced-

fixed for the last examination, the 19th of the present
month. The case has excited a great deal of interest
amongst all the sporting circles in Warwickshire and
Staffordshire, and the court was crowded throughout
the inquiry.—Racing Times.

A MELANCHOLY CASE.--Winchester has been somei
what excited during the last few days by the miserable
death of an old sailor, upwards of 100 years old, on the
platform of the railway station of this place. The de-
ceased was known by the name of James Bennet Welch.
He represented himself to have been born at New York
in 1750, and to have served under Captain Cook, when
he sailed round the world. Some evenings back he hob-
bled into the tap of a house near the railway. He was
got out, but it would appear that he was injured by some
horse and cart, as his left leg was fractured in two
places, and the limb was bleeding. He was again taken
into the house. The old man said he could not
