CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)

A young Ci—rman, names! John Pohl, who stated th al
he had been resident in this country ahmt five years.
was charged beu re Mr. Greenwooq with tukkiti...-; an
attempt to shoot Mr. James Alircd !Lye, tobacconist, td
34, Red Lion street, Holborn.

Mr. III) e stated that last night he saw the prisoner
walking up and down before the tutor of his (Aoness's)
shop, and oaing to the prisoner having on ,weral for-
mer occasions swore that he would take his life, tie be
came al,run d, and pi evious to closing his shop rt quest, d
Lao constables, who were on duty in the nen,libourho, d,
to k'ep a ciose watch upon the prisoner whit, he (Mr.
11..t)e) was putting up his shutters. Before closing the
shop, he stood at the door watching the prisoner, when
he saw him ha:f concealed in the recess of a public-
house door, nod evidently observing; him most intt nsely.
As he (Mr. II Lye) had put up the first shutter, he heard
the click of a I i.toi lick, and upon turning round he saw
the prisoner standing at the other side of the street, with
a pistol directed towards him. The two policemen came
up and took the pistol from him. It was found to be
loaded, and the hammer was down.
In reply to Mr. Greenwood, the prosecutor stated that
about twelve months ago he was compelled to exhibit
articles of the peace against the prisoner at the sessions.
in consequence of which he was kept in prison fur nearly
six months.
Police constable E 35, produced the pistol which he
took from the prisoner ; it was a brass screw barrel,
and had one of the old flint and steel locks. He also
product d the charge which had been drawn from it, and
instead of a bullet a round stone was placed over the
powder. The prisoner aimed the pistol directly at Mr.
Hayes.
The prisoner said with much emphasis and determina-
tion of manner. " I ant sorry I (IA not shoot him long
ago—he knot‘s he has been the ruin of me."
Tin, depositions were then made out, and the prisoner
was fully committed to take his trial on the charge of
feloni,u-ly shooting at Mr. Hayes.

TO THE AD.ITUR OF THE SUN. etyl
SIR,—As I anticipated in my last epistle, the
colt, otherwise Clermont, has found his opponents to
good for him at Bath, he having run a bad third to BIT
Burns and Rosin the Bow. The Handicap was infinite/. '
better than that of Newmarket; here Miss Burns
I must confess I was rather astonished to find the winner)
had to give Clermont a very fair weight, 2st 81b; while .
Rosin the Bow, a half bred son of Venison, only gall
101 b for his sear. After this performance Clerinol34
must res'gri all pretensions to te Chester Cu as Reel
as the Metropolitin StAkes; force latter he will Pr°:
bably run tor,urd, but nothing more. Miss Burns, l'
struck me, lo k d v‘ry blmaning, as she took her Pti,
paratory carver, and ac the time I thought the fielae.-
had a goodly tat,imal in her, with only ist to carry. rk.
On FrOay the bantling of Mr. Keeton and theole
d Victuallers of the metropolis, in the shape °`

TO THE EDI] 01? OF THE SUN- .0g
Sin,—l beg to offer for your acceptance the folloetc
remarks on the Newmarket First Spring Maces, will
commence on Monday.
The first race on the list is a Sweepstakes of 50L ettc;
for which there are twelve subscribers, including Fiancee
and the King of Morreel. Looking to the perform
of the latter, I think he will be found good enough
og
maintain the honours of the stable, especially as FIIIP
has so many other important engagements.
Thenextalthough race I
m pn
muston t alsoes
iearw amradyt to
start,the Ghe oocte4
stable,
for
have had sufficient preparation to compete with Deli'
me-care.
Two matches, to be run for by animals of no merit,
conclude the day's sport.
Tuesday's list contains the all-important Two Thotri
sand Guineas Stakes, for which there will be a field
about six or eight, including Glentilt, or Gabble, Libme
ratter, Zipporah colt, Sister to Cobweb colt, Conyoght;
Christopher, and most likely one of Forth's. I Cell,"his
have the Liberator, notwithstanding the vauntings "-cis
owner. Christopher's public performances are not S.
as to warrant me in selecting him as the winner; hoe
nyngham's merits are as yet a sealed book, but as i"11-0
considerable respect for the judgment of J. Day, f,-thrt
I must caution }our readers not to hold him too lig"' IP
Glentilt is decidedly the best public performed liorietile
the race, and to him and John Day's crack I look for,„
winner. Howevn-, as Ido not profess to be in the "po
creta of the stablo,
e., Kent's, I leave it quite en crt,
creEtion, after the declaration made at- NewoerLet
►
witch of their hors=es will start, remarking, en Pas-
that the betting previously to the declaration Winci
been made indicated very clearly that Planet was 23
intended for t.
The Three
Hundred Sovs. Stakes, for four Yrgia-
as though Scott's stable will win, either vwith,
ford or Mowtrina. tilf'
The Ceffee-ro-m Stakes is a certainty for PM°
should h. be in his right form. the
On Wednesday there are only two races, besid=e if
matches; for the first I select Projectile, if be mine'
not, then Coningshy. foist
Ce.nseiraey will win tho Handicap race for
years old.
The match between Alarm and The Traverser, i4whio the latter receives a stone tier his year, will, if Pilo'
bee a very spurring affair. I don't think Alarm can g-a
the we ght, a shut t length evidently suiting the you
one best.
The other matches will most likely end in forfeits! the
There are only two races also on Thursday, .iitx„
first, a Hundred Sovs. Sweepstakes, has eight n°°:,l
tams, with nothing that can have a chance with 13"103
and Halo. The former, although I do not think i`
good enough for the Derby, must surely be able to
this, though with nothing to spare. hich
The One Thousand Soya. Stiekes, for fillies, is w fat'
the names of Clementina and Slander are found, will
nish a clue to the chance s of th:,se two for the oa,
"
I have a leaning to Clementine, with Slander close 11:,
The first race on Friday looks like a certainty for
Duke of Bedford, with either Bridle or Fistiana. ~01
Reminixence cannot lose 0- e next race; and the tu•
I accord to Sir J. Ilawle}'s Piccinino.
The Newraiirket Stakes will be a race of sonseacit
portance, inasmuch as Epirote, War Eagle, and C°ssheo,
are likely to be ?itteed against each other. To these. t,
I leave the race, and select War Eagle to win, Err

second.
The match will certainly be a forfeit for War Eagl.
I am, Sir, &c.
