THE LATE: ATTI,..II4IPTED ASSAS-

SINATION AT LUDLOW.

(FROM A LltitSPONlVijt.)
Ludlow, Aug. 31, 1840.
At eight o'clock thix'morniuguyast numbers were
_anxiously waiting„for the .oneninglof the Court. At
nine.. the prisoner was brought 4; when he exhibited
the same reckless manner which he had on termer occa-
sipns, and his partieularly'dartc.ees, were in, constant
motion:
••• r •
The Magistrards:.!rtlie-Vench.ke;•e Smith,
the Mayor, H. S Ashi, and. J. lilutehinson, Esq..
The proceedings wt • treial.e.dl'uatil ten o'clock terithe
arrival of the Birmingliam mail, as Ilispector ptelihebs,
of the Birmingham ;Police, was expeeteck•to bring fresh
evidence ; but he did not arrive. ) .
Dr. Lloyd. was sworn, and exarninedthy; M. Downes,
the town clerk—Has been in constatii attendanCe on
Mr.llackreth. He is going on very favourably, but
is not in a fit state to,be appear in Court. He is still
at the.Atrel Inn ; but.,..in the course of a week, wit-
ness-.exp4ts he will he able. to attend. He was not
quite-So well last night. Witness has given strict
orders: for no person to see him, except his immediate
.attendants. Cannot say he is wholly out of danger,
and considers that his evidence should be taken at the
Angel, in preference to a crowded Court.
The prisoner did not wish'to ask any questions.
The jacket that the prisoner left at the Unicorn at
Shrewsbury, was here produced by Superintendent '
Lewis, of the Rural Police. • It is of a small check
pattern, and very much the worse for wear.
The MaYou•stated that he could not close the iti-
quiry into this horrible affair without further examina-
tion of the wounded man. He would, therefore, re-
mand the prisoner until Wednesday week, when the
examination would take place at the Angel Inn, and
then adjourn to the Court, when he hoped to be able
to dispose of the case finally.
I have seen the cook of the Angel. She sayi that,
in taking his food this morning, part of it emitted
through the wound. Should anything particular trans-
pire, I will certainly let you know.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTFRSALL'-YESTERDAY.

The muster yesterday afternoon was quite as numerous as
we usually meet at the Corner a fortnight before " the race;"
but we have seldom or ever known business so fiat. Launce-
lot was, as before, the lion of the day ; 6to 4 was taken to
about one hundred, besides other bets, the highest offering
price at the breaking up between that first mentioned. Gib-
raltar was backed at sto 1 in fifties (afterwards offered), and
500 to 200 laid even on the two against the field.
-We have quoted- Crucifix at It) to 1, simply be-
cause three or four parties professed themselves willing to
back her at a point above it ; we suspect, however, that the
disposition to invest was not very strong—an opinion strength.
e- by the bets on two above stated. Maroon and Theon de-
clined; ditto Dr. Caius and the Young-un, and we heard no-
thing of Viceroy or Broadwath. The last betting was even on
two against the field.
6 to 1 agst Launcelot—take 7 to 4
5 to 1 agst Gibraltar—taken, and afterwards offered
10 to 1 agst Crucifix—take 11 to 1
20 to 1 agst Alaroon—offered •
20 to 1 agst Theon —taken and afterwards offered
30 to 1 agst Dr. Caius—taken
40 to 1 agst Trustee—taken and afterwards offered
40 to 1 agst Young-un—taken
40 to 1 agst Calypso—taken, and afterwards offered
DONCASTER CUP.
5 to 1 agst Charles the Twelfth—taken
The backer offered to go on.
LEAMINGTON STAKES-(TO-MORROW.)
20 to 1 agst Hetman Platoff—take 5 to 2
Clarion second favourite, but no odds named.

The Free Handicap of 3 sous. each, with 25 added, once
round and a distance, was won in two heats by Mr. Dixon's
Zeno, beating two others easily.
The Hurdle Race was won in three heats by Mr. Dallimore's
Y. Tamworth, aged, 12st 71b (Mr. Vivian), beating 11r.
Byrne's Juggler, and two others cleverly.
