WEDNZSDAY EVF.NING, Fivx O'CLOCK.
_el he betting last night was on a limited scale, the cm-
_orisation. turning chiefly on the events of • the day, and
e parncularly on the Two Thousand Guineas' Stakes,
th: lileaalt of which, as we mentioned in our dispatch from
le eath, materially Altered the positions of some of the
13 to 13"13Y favourites. Planet's defeat sent him from
of , to 13 to 1, but must not be looked upon as decisive
in by real merits. He coughed several times before start-
ag' and sweated as much as if he had been running
toZ..re race, in fact, was decidedly " off;" this will ac-
hot his defeat in a very slow run race, and makes his
titee for the Derby a very doubtful one. Conyngham,
•tr was backed for four or five hundred pounds on the
lin at 5 and 6 to 1, was quoted at night at 5 to 1; 30 to
,701,34 against Cossack, 40 to 1 agst Ulysses, and 7 to 2 apt
po''Day's lot ; no others mentioned. Several hundred
Z 1•111,13 were laid on the match between Alarm and thejTra-
ierser, at 6 to 4 on the former ; and 3 or 4 bets on the 1,000
bets Stakes, at 6to 4 agst Slander. The Chester Cup

late gale which visited Scotland on Thursday week, the par-
tial destruction of the ancient obelisk, or standing stone at
Stanwick, pariah of Nigg, which was thrown down and
broken. The obelisk had various hieroglyphic sculpturing,
and was supposed to commemorate the death and burial of
a Danish sea king, who, in the days of the Yikingr, was
Wrecked and drowned off the coast.

..60filiterday Mr. Waklay held an inquest at the University
ahaaet46l,lloopitel, en the body of a female, supposed to be
Tzty years of age, and named Lydia Ann Downes,
Taa""`' "tali toot place under the following circumstances.
Sualla'a Delaney, police-constable 230 S, deposed that on

she benched ill an apparently dying state. The landlord said
bitereame in about ten o'clock, and asked for half a pint of
made hot, which she took with her into the tap-room.
1.0 t 'lois procured assistaace, and brought deceased to that
aPital, where stimulants were administered. She was in-
1. risible at the time, but rallied sufficiently to state that she
juiv,c'd it Johnson-street, Somers-town, but again relapsed
;vl-° a elate of insensibility, and died in au hour after. She
a" ill Coightfully emaciated and filthy condition. Mr.
'raneisOk, of Johnson-street, Somer's Town, said the
IY'euased had occupied one of the top rooms of his house for
nc!ur years, for which she paid 2s. per week quarterly. She
'as a most eccentric character, and no human being ever
eulered her apartment but herself, until since her death, and
from documents he had found, there was no doubt she had
been highly connected. Among them were receipted bills
Made out in the deceived's name, to the amount of 23,000/.
One bill was for post-horses at a guinea per day; another,
1001. for garden seeds • but the meat important were legal
documents, showing.that the deceased had been the defend-
ant in a Chancery suit, and that by an adverse decision of
the court she had been entirely deprived of very
large estates in Northamptonshire. Another bill
showed she had paid four guineas and a half for a
White silk bonnet. Deceased was a remarkably fine
and high-spirited woman, and although she appeared in the
,deepest poyerty, she would never ask a favour. He be-
lieved deceased wawa recipient of some annuity, which she
obtained from the Strand somewhere, but be could not tell
where. It must, however, have been very s-nall. She
41Ways paid her rent punctually, and a quarter was due on
the 27th inst. Deceased left home on Sunday night, about
fn •'clock. On entering her apartment since death a
i'lghtful scene of misery presented itself, the whole of the
all,rulture, consisting of a broken table and chair, and a mat,
gulch served as a bed. The floor was sole deep in filth, and
Pp the mattress being moved, it was one mass of vermin.
A,ll.ere was
thenn propert, ,v or a particle of food, clothing, or,
tarred in place. After some further evidence the jury re.
Cued a verdict, " That deceased died from natural causes,
trlllt whether from exhaustion produced by the want of corn-
aYnnecessaries of life, there was not sufficient evidence to

Qui)e.srl;o, RABLE IGNORANCE.—If the " Education
to 'O4 is allowed to pass, we propose that the first per-
bpi to receive the benefits of the new Act should be Mr..
tielgher and the Irish patriot.l who have bean lately cis
faing their sadwant of education at the Irish Confederation
Pop ablin. It is pitiable to think that persons who have the
Maier of
doing so much mischief should be allowed to re.-
Z 424 in their present hopeless state of ignorance. It is
bounden duty of the Government to teach them better.
