CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAI.)

OLD COLTR

The July ,Sssion o: the Cetor..l Oh:Jinni Court was
opened this mornin4 before the L :rd Mayer, the Com-
mon. Srrjesnt, Aldera:(:n Si': Chapman Marshall and
Balonr-ms, act:off:puled by Mr. Sheriff Finnic and Mr.
Sheriff Goodh:.rt.

The grand jury having bevn imnprnnelled,
The COMMON 61:11JEANT proce,ded to &liver the
charge. Lie said this, in all probability, would be the
last occasion on which a grand jury would be summoned
in this court, a Bill having been introduced into Parlia-
ment for its abolitivn. There was really no c es in the
cal,•rdar that regain d any observation. They were
principally saes of cutting and wounding, and of Petty
)arceny.
The grand jury then retired.

lIIA R LB/1.0"-ST REET— (THIS DAY.)
SHOPLIFTING.—Ann Harris, a dressmaker, who re-
fused to give her address, was brought before Mr. Hard-
wick, charged with having stolen from the shop of
Messrs. Williams and Hatton, silk mercers, 272, Regent-
circus, 14 yards of black silk, value 2/.
John Breakspeare stated that he was assistant to
Messrs. Williams and Hatton, 272, Regent-circus. On
Saturday evening, about six o'cicck, the prisoner came
into his employers' shop to purchase some goods. There
Were several pieces of silk lying on the counter close to
where the prisoner was standing ; and whilst the young
man, who was serving the prisoner, turned round to get
some article which he wanted, he (witness) saw her take
a piece of black silk from off the counter, and conceal it
under her mantle. The young man having given
the prisoner her change, she left the shop; and he im-
mediately went over to the young man and informed him
!hat the prisoner had stolen a piece of silk from his
counter. Witness then went out after the prisoner, and
took the piece of silk from beneath her mantle.
The prisoner said the silk had accidentally hung to her
cloak, and begg d of him to let her go, and not give her
in charge. A constable at that moment came up and
took her into custody.
The prisoner, who denied stealing the silk, was com-
mitted for trial.

Ci IN o'!'E S.

" Newmarket's flat !
There racing stands unrivalled—scarce a blade
Of holder grass exalts its wither'd head,
To mar the velvet turf—no stands are seen,
To court the crowd—'tis business we mean."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR.—Newcastle laces deiLat,d but little comment.
John Cosser, at 7t, has at last come cut *nd rout. d the
" knowing oi.es," by wint.ing the Northumb eland Plate
in a canter! but clef, acing nothing of consequence,
limestone and Distatlina, my unlucky sel,ction, hiving
been withdrawn; and Shy iok not running to win,
Gret n tinet Co. preferring to do the trick, if they
cmild, with Mahon.
Lord E4linton's E!thiron won the Hotspur Stakes in
-a canter, by tau lengths, heating Pelham, Robert de
Eris, awl the Mad, liha colt; at Newcastle, 5 to 2 was
laid on the winner, but at the sportinghouses in town, a
great deal of money was "got on" at evens; this race
cannot affect the Dutchman's position for the St. Leger,
although it brings forward the pretensions of Nunnykirk,
IJriel, flone)cowb, and Lldy Superior to support, in
much clearer light than hitherto has been the case ; it
Is cove "on the cards" that the "'Flyer" may be beaten
at Doncaster, notwithstanding the bold front put on by
his backers at the present time.
The Gold Cup was all but a " walk over" for the
gallant grey, Camphine being the cnly one bold
'enough to put in an appearance, and she was " polished
off" by Chanticleer without an effort.
For the Liverpool Cup, it must be borne in mind, that
-the following have penalties for winning to carry, viz.,
EssEdarics,. John Cosser, and Sylvan, lOibs. extra; and
Canez,m, Mrs. Taft, Borneo, and Westow, slbs. extra ;
of this lot, Sylvan and Canezou will not run, and Mrs.
Taft is very doubtful ; the remaining four, I think,
will start, and it strikes me very furcibly, the winner's
name is included in the quartette.
For the July Stakes at Newmarket, a field of ten, or
thereabouts will run for this half mile scurry ; probably
'the following :—Sisyphus, Sweetheart, Narbonne, c by
St. Francis, Paul, Tordesillas, Impression, Equiris,
Retrospect filly, and one of Loid Exeter's; Humphrey's
running I consider very dubious. With the exception
of Svvectheart and Impression they are all " dark,"
but my impression is that Sisyphus or Sweetheart will
be found to be the " pick of the basket," Narbonne and
Tordesillas being well up.
For the Marches, I prefer Little Isaac to Nutcracker,
Estafette to Scamps Via, Stirabout Co Minto, and Accia
to Ellen Middleton. In the last match Accia receives
forfeit, Ellen Middleton having died a few days since.
The field for the Chests rfield Stakes will be selected
from the following:—Scampia Via, one of Lord
Exeter's, Narbonne, lole, Rebecca filly, Earl of Strath.
snore, Sisyphus, Habet, Sparrowhawk, Little Isaac,
'Cowslip colt, Evelina„ and St. Ives. Not one of the above
lots, have as yet run, consequently their merits for the
next fifty hours are a " doted volume," but I am in-
clined to think that the Earl of Strathmore, Little Isaac,
and Habet, will be found to be the best.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

Among the many thousands who have visited
eisited the
Egyptian flail, to view the great geograpaica panorama
which
of the Mississippi, the splendid and varied scenery
skirts its shores, the moving objects floating on its sue-
face, with tile living works of the Creator, on the banks
'of this gigantic river, to none has the sight been so
'wonderad es to the delighted children of the Burlington
Charity School, St. James's parish. They were ad•
mitted gratis last Saturday by Mr. Banvard, the painter
and generous proprietor of this true representation of a
anost interesting part of the western world. While the
British Museum end other institutions have been wisely.
opened to all classes, it is gratifying to see a citizen of
the United States exhibiting his own great work in the
City of London, to a class of poor children whose ideas
at present, perhaps, do not extend much beyond this me-
ttepolis which gave them birth.
CALEDONIAN ASYLUM,.--The children in this ex-
cellent institution were examined on the 27th ult., by the
Rev. F. C. Cooke, her Majesty's Inspector of Schools.
Atter a protracted and searching examination the
!reverend gentleman stated, that the boys had answered
lin a satisfactory manner; and that the reading of the
girls was very good, fluent, and exive, showing
much cultivation— press
their generel rance
great credit on M appe a reflecting
iss Mackenzie, the school mistress. Mr.
Cooke expressed his unqualified approbation of the
juvenile hand.
ST. JAMES'S TIIEATRE.—The operatic perform-
`eances, conducted with so much spirit by Mr. Mitchell,
h to a termination on Saturday morning, when the
eatre was opened for the benefit of M. Hanssens, the
musical director. The performances commenced with
the first act of the Diamans de la Cour onne, in which the
accomplished and agreeable Charten took her leave;
;followed by a vocal and instrumental " intermede,"
"wherein M. Sabatie exhibited some brilliant pianoforte
'attainments in a fantasia on Subjects from the Lucia,
and M. de Munch a similar degree of practical talent in
ri solo on the violonceello, Madile. Le Brun, from the St.
Carlos, and M. Octave relieving the proceedings with
certain Italian and French vocalitics. The programme
closed with Niculo's comic opera Les Rendezvous Sour-
veois, a pleasant specimen of a voluminous composer who
ittourished in Paris at the beginning of the present cen-
tury, but whose works have sunk into the oblivion which
is the inevitable lot of writers of his genre. The sub-
scribers to the Ancient Concerts occasionally met with the
name of this once popular composer in the schemes of
that venerable institution, but nowhere else. The ope-
retta was represented in a very lively manner by Cou•
derv, Zelger, Buguet, and Guichard, who sang what
music there was with their accustomed ability. Although
this morning's entertainment brought the Opera Comique
to an end, the theatre will not close for a fortnight. Mr.
Mitchell originally Promised syseties of dramatic enter
%alpine tits, and though a few vaudevilles have been given
with the operas, they have not assumed an y Prominent
character. This evening the house
will re-open, h
n
it
141. Arnal and Machine Doche, who will during this
the forthcoming wet la go through a series and
of their best
and most diverting personations.
SYMPATHY WITII THE . J. D.
WCOLLETT'S ENTERTAIN3LENT.—This talented gentleman,
e perceive, gives his popular entertainments entitled
Lyrics of Freedom," at the National Hall, this even-
ing, on which occasion he will be assisted by Miss Thorn-
ton, Miss Norman, Mr. Curtain, and Mr. Harper, to•
gether with a well selected chorus, who have each given
their services aratuitoudy on the occasion. The profits
of the evening are to be added to the subscription making
for the widows and orphans of the men slain in defence
of the Raman Republic. The prograrmae is very at•
tractive• and we have net the slightest doubt will draw a
crowded audience.
