MUSIC.

THE TURF. (0! what a time for a lithe bit of some-
thing.) A Racing Song. By Harry heaver.
Not " The Turf' of Mark Lemon. No ; but a
capital song upon that most suggestive and delightful
theme—a song worthy of being carolled in the petite
comedic by the editor of " Punch." Those who
thoroughly enjoy anything relating to the field sports
of England will remember with pleasure the hunting
song of " The foremost flight," by the same " know-
ing hand" as the present. To say that " The Turf "
is a fit companion to its predecessor is admirable
praise, and is well deserved.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

William Smith alias Long was indicted for stealing a hand-
kerchief, the property of William Capol.
It appeared that the prisoner was observed by a constable
of the division, named West, to whom he was known as a
thief, to pass long Pickett-street, Strand, with a black
handkerchief round his neck, and in about half an hour
afterwards return with one of a different colour, and of a far
more valuable description. He then took him into custody,
and upon inquiries found that the prosecutor, who resided
at Hammond's Hotel, had had hi 9 pocket picked while,pass-
ing through the Strand.
Mr. Capol identified the handkerchief, and
Mr. PAYNE, who appeared on behalf of the prisoner, called
a witness as to character, but his evidence appeared to the
Assistant-Judge of such a contradictory nature that he
ordered him to leave the witness-box with a reprimand.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and several previous
convictions having been recorded against the prisoner, he
was sentenced to ten years' transportation.
The next prisoner, who bore the. same popular cognomen,
was indicted for stealing a pair of boots, the property of
Thomas Steel.

The prisoner was observed by the prosecutor to snatch a
pair of boots, which hung near the shop-door, from a peg,
and run off with them.

A verdict of Guilty was returned, and the Learned As-
SISTANT-JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to three months' im-
prisonment with hard labour.
George Henry Salmon was indicted for stealing a picture,
the property of Richard Lancaster Swallow.
The policeman who had the conduct of the case produced
the picture in court, the subject of which was the "Country
Justice:fr The treatment of it was original in the extreme,
and indicated in the artist's mind no very high ideal of
worshipful grace or beauty. It was taken up and scanned
by a very full bench of county magistrates with an apparent
curiosity, which, by some, perhaps, very remote analogy,
caused a titter in the body of the court.
The prosecutor was the proprietor of a public-house in
Stepney, called the York Minster, in which the 131isotter was
seen on the morning of last Sunday week. On Monday the
painting was missed, and the police succeeded in tracing it
to a person who became possessed of it by purchasing the
duplicate from the prisoner.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was
sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour.
James Black, and his, wife Jane Black, were indicted
for stealing bed clothes from their ready furnished lodging,
under circumstances which showed that it was sheer dis-
tress which induced them to do so. _

A verdict of Guilty was returned against James Black,
and of Acquittal in favour of his wife, who entreated in
piteous terms when the Learned Assistant-Judge was about
to pronounce sentence upon her husband, that " it might be
divided amongst the two."
He was sentenced to a month's imprisonment.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 28, 1847.

was executed to assess the damages, which damages were
laid at 2001.

The plaintiff, whose case was conducted by his attorney,
had resided at Birmingham, and cccasionally slept at a beer-
shop, about two miles from his own residence. The defend-
ant is an Italian, travelling about with a hurdvgurdy, and
the cause of action was alleged to have occurred about four
years ago. The defendant had been thrashed by the plain-
tiff for his alleged criminal conversation, and about two
months back had been served with process in the present
action. Some witnesses were called, and it appeared that in
1843 the defendant played the hurdygurdy in the plaintiffs
house, and dancing took place in the kitchen.
The plaintiff's attorney, in stating his case, claimed a
reasonable compensation for the injury sustained, and as he
was going to the House of Lords for a divorce, their
Lordships would consider the amount the jury had awarded.
Mr. MILLER, on the part of the defendant, stated that he
unfortunately bad not pleaded to the action, or he could have
satisfied the jury that he was not the party liable ; he was,
in fact, a poor Italian, travelling about with a hurdy-
gurdy, and the plaintiff, who had committed an assault
upon him four years ago, now sued him for damages to
enable him to get a divorce from his wife, 110 doubt
wishing to marry another woman. The jury would consider
the loss the plaintiff had sustained, and he confidently anti-
cipated that they would consider that one farthing was more
than compensation for the injury committed on his character
and feelings.

The Learned UNDER. SHERIFF told the jury, the defen-
dant by not pleading had admitted that he was the party
liable to damages, and they would, therefore, pay no atten-
tion to what his learned counsel had stated as to his inno-
cence of the charge imputed to him. The question for them
was, the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was en-
titled. It would have been more prudent for the plaintiff
not to have left his home and have slept at a beer-shop, and lit
considering their damages they would take into account
how far he had been a party thereby to his own dishonour.
The defendant was said to be an outcast, a poor foreigner ;
but if he had injured the plaintiff the latter had a right to
claim compensation at the hands of the jury. The jury
would also take into consideration that the action was not
brought for three or four years after the occurrence, and with
respect to the statement about the intention of the plaintiff to
go to the House of Lords for a divorce, they (the jury) had
nothing to do with the matter. They had to assess the
amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled for the
injury complained of, which injury defendant by not plead-
ing had admitted he had committed.
The jury assessed the damages at " One farthing."
London, England, 1847-01-28

PARISH OF LIVERPOOL.

Sir H. DOUGLAS presented a petition from the
mayor, corporation, and select vestries of Liverpool,
stating that for some time past that palish, with its
123,000 inhabitants, had been obliged to afford relief to
2,000 persons in the workhouse, and 4,000 out
of it; that a great additional burden had been imposed
upon the paiish by the Poor Removal Bill of last
session, and representing, that owing to the distressed
condition of Ireland, no less than 288,799 Irish poor
had been thrown, for support upon the rates since No-
vember, and that the number had steadily increased
during the last five weeks, from 102,072 per week to
130,795 last week. They complained of the great bur-
then thus thrown upon a single parish by the distress
existing in Ireland, and submitted that that could be
no reason for throwing so many casual paupers from
Ireland upon them, and praying the House to afford
them some remedy.
' ELECTORAL DIVISIONS.

Mr. WATSON presented a petition, numerously and
respectably signed, from the town of Kinsale, stating
that the system of electoral divisions under the Irish
Poor-law had acted oppressively in forcing the worn-out
poor to go from the rural districts to the towns ; that
it had cast the burden of supporting those poor on the
towns, and were thereby called upon to:pay three or four
times as much as the rural districts. This had caused
70 of theifirst and second-class houses in Kinsale to be
untenanted. Scarcity and famine had filled the work-
hum e with 150 more persons than it was built to accom-
modate. The petition prayed for inquiry and relief.
POOR-LAW REMOVAL.

Mr. BANKES presented petitions from several places
in Cornwall, praying for an immediate amendment or
total repeal of the Poor-law Amendment Act.

TEN HOURS' BILL.

Mr. BANKES also presented a petition from Bury
in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill.

TOBACCO DUTIES.

Dr. BOWRING gave notice that to-morrow it was

MONTPENSIER MARRIAGE.
London, England, 1847-01-28

HER MAJESTY'S STEAM SLOOP

SPHYNX.
Baoox, IsLE or Wpairr, JAN. 25.—The Sphynx remains
in the same position as when last mentioned, hut it was
much feared, when the foul winds Fet in yesterday, that she
would not have withstood the force of both elements; how-
ever, she has, being a new ship.
Lieutenant Marryat succeeded yesterday morning, at low
water, in floating ashore some few casks of provisions from
the wreck ; the wind blowing hard from the south and
south-west, they could not communicate during the day, nor
this morning. The vessel has not altered her position, and is
tuite upright, not making much water. Not having been
pumped- out for some days, she has some feet of water in her
hold. All the dyad lights abaft have been berthed in; the
hatchways have been covered in, and every other precaution
taken to prevent her tilling when the sea flows over her.
Chain cables are about to be got out to keep her bow out to
seaward, as at present. She is going to be lightened by
" camels," upon a plan of Mr. Watts, the assistant master-
shipwright of Portsmouth Dockyard.
Captain Austen, R.N., of Woolwich, and Mr. Murray, chief
engineer of Portsmouth, arrived yesterday, and the crew of
the Sphynx are employed to-day constructing a raft to dis-
embark stores ; should the weather (at present very violent)
moderate, and the wind come to the northward, there is yet
a hope of having her afloat next spring tides (about the3lst);
at least of saving the engine gear.
Mrs. Craggs is improving in health daily, and will soon be
pronounced out of danger. No other casualties have since
occurred. The crew are well, comfortably lodged, and behave
very orderly.
The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Caffin, has em-
barked some Portland surge-boats, for use at the wreck of the
Sphynx, with which she is hourly expected here.
We believe that Commander Caffin, a most experienced
and scientific officer, is of opinion that the Sphynx may yet
be floated, and we are informed, will direct his energies, in
conjunction with the other distinguished officers at the spot,
towards so desirable an end immediately the tides and
weather will permit.

JERROLD'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER.
The universal response made in all parts of the Kingdom to
the efforts of the Proprietor and Editor, has enabled him to enlarge
his Paper to the utmost extent allowed by the stamp law. The
addition of one-third more matter will enable the Debates of the
present most important Session to be fully reported, and all the news
of every kind to be given in the amplest manner, without trenching
on the variety of original artielei on political and social affairs that
secured for the paper so rapid and ex•ensive a circulation on its first
appearance. The enlargement commenced on the 23d of January,
and being eagerly and cordially received, has already doubly extended
the sphere of its influence and circulation. With such encourage-
ment, every department of the paper will be conducted with unabted
zeal and attention. Published in various editions, so that the early
may reach every town of the United Kingdon on the Saturday, and
the last contain all the news up to the latest moment. To be had of

DEFICIENCY of GRAIN and OTHER

_
CROPS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
send herewith an estimate of the deficiency of
grain and other crops in the United Kingdom for the year
ending September 1, 1847.
This estimate is founded chiefly upon the statistical facts
furnished by Mr. Labouchere in his speech of Tuesday even-
ing, the 19th inst. The results are startling, and confirm
the views you have recently expressed in relation to the dan-
gers which menace the commercial and monetary interests
of Great Britain.
If the estimate be essentially erroneous, it will be easy for
some better informed correspondent of the Times to point
out the errors; if substantially correct, the sooner the full
extent of the evil is made public the better. Forewarned is
forearmed.
I enclose my card.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1847.

Tuanz and his colleagues have fallen, and they
have fallen as ignobly and disgracefully as they de-
served. It is well for the maintenance of the spirit
of patriotism that the violators of the national interests
of their country should receive the recompense of
their political crimes—that sowing the wind, they
should reap the whirlwind. The downfal of the
Afrancesado Administration is another example
afforded by history for the guidance and warning of
mankind ; it is another example of the foolishness of
sacrificing the independence of one kingdom, and

hat kingdom one's own, to the avarice and ambition
of another. A more contemptible exit for any Cabi-
net could not well be imagined than the exit of the
once powerful, if not once popular, Ministry of Senor
ISTCRITZ, At the very commencement of the legis-
lative session, before the Government could lay its
statements on the table of the Cortes, before any pre-
liminary step could be taken fur the elucidation of the
opinions of the representatives of the Spanish people
upon the recent proceedings of the Executive, the
Ministers are rebuffed on their first entrance into the
Chambers of the Legislature, the wand of authority
is ignominiously stricken from their grasp. This is
just towards the defeated Cabinet; it is bold and
creditable on the part of the triumphant Cortes.
The mediate cause of the resignation of the Istu-
ritz Ministry was the decision of the Chamber of
Deputies on the election of its President. On the

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Scourge steam sloop,
Commander Caflin, left this morning for Bristol, to load with
meal for Ireland.

The Echo steam-tug will convey Mr. Bellamy, the Assist-
ant Master Attendant of this dockyard, to the neighbour-
hood of the wreck of the Sphynx, this evening or to-mor-
row, to await a favourable opportunity of making another
attempt, in conjunction with other vessels and officers, to
save that vessel, which remains in the same position as when
last specially alluded to.
The Royal Frederick, 110, building in this dockyard, on
the same or very similar lines as the Queen, by Sir William
Symonds, is being rapidly expedited for launching, for which

LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1847.

ISTURITZ and his colleagues have fallen, and they
have fallen as ignobly and disgracefully as they de-
served. It is well for the maintenance of the spirit
of patriotism that the violators of the national interests
of their country should receive the recompense of
their political crimes—that sowing the wind, they
should reap the whirlwind. The downfal of the
Afrancesado Administration is another example
afforded by history for the guidance and warning of
mankind ; it is another example of the foolishness of
sacrificing the independence of one kingdom, and
that kingdom one's own, to the avarice and ambition
of another. A more contemptible exit for any Cabi-
net could not well be imagined than the exit of the
once powerful, if not once popular, Ministry of Senor
ISTURITZ. At the very commencement of the legis-
lative session, before the Government could lay its
statements on the table of the Cortes, before any pre-
liminary step could be taken for the elucidation of the
opinions of the representatives of the Spanish people
upon the recent proceedings of the Executive, the
Ministers are rebuffed on their first entrance into the
Chambers of the Legislature, the wand of authority
is ignominiously stricken from their grasp. This is
just towards the defeated Cabinet; it is bold and
creditable on the part of the triumphant Cortes.
The mediate cause of the resignation of the Istu-
ritz Ministry was the decision of the Chamber of
Deputies on the election of its President. On the
announcement made by CASTRO Y OROZCO, that he
was not prepared to go " hand-and-glove" with the
Administration in its obnoxious policy, it will
sufficiently be remembered,,b se

but in a minute after the start Red was alongside of

" Contract, No. 2.

" This contract has been let since the last meeting.
It embraces the portion of the railway between the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway,
at Dudley, and the first contract, passing through
Dudley Port, Great Bridge, and Wednesbury. The
contractors are at work wherever the land has been
•btained ; and arrangements have been made with the
Birmingham Canal Company which will greatly
facilitate the progress of the works.

" Contract, No. 3.
" This contract has also been let since the last
meeting. It includes the portion of the line between
Walsall and the Birmingham and Derby Railway,
near the Oakley Station, passing through the city of
Lichfield. The contractors have possession of the
land for eight out of seventeen miles of railway in-
cluded in this contract, and, with one exception, at
places along the line where the greatest exertions on
their part will be required for completing the line.

with rails and chairs, and the latter with sleepers.

total receipts of the company up to the 31st of July,
1847, had been 128,9921., and the expenditure
51,4971., leaving a balance in the bankers' hands of
77,4951.

Mr. JESSON inquired when they thought the whole
line would be completed ?
The CHAIRMAN said, the contracts expired on the
28th of July, 1848 ; and in answer to other questions
put by shareholders, he observed that the balance in
hand stated in the account was up to the 28th of
July, and that in all probability at the pfesent time
it was not more than 40,0001., if so much. The con-
tracts on hand amounted- to nearer 300,0001. than
200,0001.; but after all, with the exception of the
cost of the new projected line to Cannock, he did not .
think that they shbuld require- calls for more than /.

the Birmingham branch, be first completed ? He

Charles Frost, a boy about 16 years of age, in the
service of Mr. James Somerfield, tailor, residing in
Adam-street West, Edgware-road, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Long, on the charge of having robbed
his employer of wearing apparel, jewellery, &c., to the
amount of nearly 151.

Williams, 141-10, deposed that on the same morning,
between six and seven o'clock, as he was on duty in
the Uxbridge-road, he met the prisoner, who inquirEd
of him the way to Bayswater. He was asked what
he had in a bag which he was carrying, and he
replied, " only some coats, which are my own ;" at
he same time opening the bag, and pulling out four,
together with a satin waistcoat, a pair of trousers,
and a pair of boots. WitnEss, perceiving that one of
the coats were not quite finished, and that the rest of
the articles Were nearly new, questioned him further,
and as his answers were altogether of an unsatisfac-
tory nature, he was conveyed to the station-house.
lie was there searched, and in addition to the things
above enumerated, there was found in his-possession a
box, containing five gold pins, some gold rings, and a
purse, which had in it a half-sovereign and 9s. 9d. in

THE HIGHLANDS.

AIANCIIESTER, SEPT. 13.—For several days past
very considerable interest has been created in this
town, in consequence of a report being extensively
circulated that the Queen and her Royal Consort will
return via Fleetwood, and probably through Man-
chester. Up to this hour, however (Monday, four
o'clock), nothing positive is known ; but the indefati-
gable chairman of the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway Company, accompanied by Mr. llawkshaw,
the engineer, are in communication with her Ma-
jesty's functionaries, and positive information is ex-
pected this evening. Mr. Houldsworth is at Fleet-
wood, ready to obey the royal commands, and is
quite prepared to make the necessary arrangements
for the Queen and her suite, should the route via
Fleetwood be determined upon.
