Maidstone, gentlemen riders. (19 Subs.)
The Bcntinck Stakes, of 5 sovs each, with 50 added by Lord
George Bentinck. (25 Subs at present.) To close and
name on Wednesday next.
Two Matches, and the March Stakes, of 10 soya each, h
to be run in heats, unless the acceptances should pro-
duce two classes, in which case the two winners
will have to run for the forfeits ; there are 65 sub-
scribers to it, and the horses must be named on the
second day of the races. The total for this, the con-
cluding day of the meeting, nine races. At a moderate
calculation, atter allowing for forfeits, the prizes for the four
days will net nearly twenty-five thousand pounds! In order
to get through this monster programme, and allow visitors
from a distance to get home in reasonable time, the races
are announced to commence each day at twelve o'clock, and
will thus, we presume, finish_ by five o'clock. The directors
of the Brighton Railway edfer the metropolitans every pos-
sible facility for going to and returning from the races.
Extra trains to Chichester will be started every morning at
half-past six, seven, ei,ght, and half-past eight o'clock, calling
at the Drayton station, three miles and a half from the
course, the two first performing the journey in three hours
and a half, and the latter ones in two hours and three-
quarters ' trains, will also run between Hastings, Brighton,
and Chichester. The accommodation after the races will be
on an equally 'comprehensive scale. Great pains have been
taken by the 'Duke of Richmond to improve the race course,
and it is novx in the best possible condition. The running
ground has 'been widened from the distance in, and the turn
for the Maidstone and Orange courses and the pull up,
thereby
very considerably improved. The Cup course
is also altered the horses will now start 100 yards
west of thee winning post, run out the back way
• of the Graquricke Stakes course, and return home by

the Craven Stakes Course, making a distance of three miles
and three quarters, all in sight from the Grand Stand. The
only objection that we have heard raised against this altera-
tion is, that some of the horses instead of "returning home,"
may possibly find their way to the village of Charlton. The
old weighing stand has disappeared, and the business of the
course will this year be carried on on the ground floor of the
Grand Stand, hitherto used for refreshment rooms, a portion
of which will also be reserved for the accommodation of the
betting fraternity in bad weather. The inclosure has been
extended so as to take in the trees at both ends, and the
comfort of the visitors, and the convenience of those having
business to transact, consulted in a variety of ways without
regard to labour or expense. Mr. Gratwicke will be the
acting steward ; Mr. Clarke of Newmarket, judge ; Mr.
llibburd, clerk of the course and starter; and Mr. Manning,
clerk of the scales.

WICK, JULY 15, 1846.—The herring fishing has com-
menced here earlier than usual. Several hundred boats were
at sea last week, and had from one to ten crans. Yesterday
morning (Tuesday) there was one beat that had twenty-
eight crans. Several had from ten to fifteen crans.
Average, two and a half. There is a dearth of hired
men. Not one-half of the usual number of Highlanders
have come this year. They are getting from 61. to 81. of
wages, and their meat and lodgings during the seven weeks.
A great many boats are ashore for want of men. The boats
whose period of engagement has not, vet commenced, are
selling their fresh fish at fifteen shillings per cran. This
morning (Wednesday) the boats are just returning from sea.
The average will be about two crans.—Ross• alttre Advertiser.
VAGRANTS, ENGLAND AND WALES.—From a return
just laid upon the table of the House of Commons, relative
to the number of vagrants received into union workhouses
of England and Wales during the years 1841, 1842, 1843,
1844, and 1845, it appears that the total number of unions
in the counties of England and Wales amounts to 480.
In 1841 there were received into them 93,985 men, 24,095
women, 43,577 of the males being between 18 and 40.
In 1842, males 162,163 (78,995 between 18 and 40), and
33,889 females. In 1843, males
jiih2e4hll.,i6.,6ieinsnvgiteo(irfalrltolhihe,
18 and 40), and 40,831 females. In 1844, males 252,558
(118,280 of whom were between 18 and 40), and 39,837
females. In 1845, males 247,377 (116,725 between 18 and
40), and 39,539 females.
ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE.—The only prisoner triad
at Windsor Sessions, on Saturday, was a boy, whe had
" broken prison" the night before, and who was found guilty
of picking the pocket of a farmer's wife, and sentenced to
be imprisoned for three months, and privately whipped.
The boy, who is only thirteen years of age, and who belongs
to a London gang of thieves, manifested considerable adroit-
ness in escaping from prison on the night before his trial..
The clothes of the prisoners are invariably taken away 41:nl.

\Windsor to get to town, when he wag captured by the
local police.
SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE.—An inquest was held on
Saturday at the Cumberland Head, City-road, on an infant.
The charge had been already investigated by the magistrate
at Worship-street, who had remanded a woman named
Hughes, in whose possession the child was found. Mrs.
Hughes now stated before the coroner that on Thursday
evening an elderly lady, wearing spectacles, accosted her,
and, after conversation, engaged her at 4s. a week. On ar-
riving at her residence, she took a coffin from under the bed,
and desired her to take it to the sexton's, on arriving at
whose house she found she was too late, and she was unable,
on her return, to discover again the house of the lady. She
50N3ehu'a3irrsdb:ie,tiwcsateleedima
then took the coffin home, and placed it in a closet. On the
following morning she went to William Pratt, the sexton of
St. Luke's, Old-street, to have it buried, and he, being sus-
picious of the circumstances, gave her into custody. Several
witnesses bore testimony to this statement, and described the
dress of theilady whom they had seen speaking to Hughes.
The surgeon having given his evidence, the jury returned a
verdict of " Natural Death."

DUNNING.—PERTHSHIRE.—This village: was thrown
,batb,

into a state of great excitement on Sab. . evening, by a
report that James M'Lellan, merchant, who. had been taken
unwell, and died, notwithstanding every effort to relieve him
that medical skill could devise, had been poisoned.
Various circumstances led to the apprehension of the
wife of the unfortunate man, while a messenger was
sent off to Perth with the necessary information to
the authorities. Mr. M'Lean, Procurator-fiscal, and
Dr. Malcom. immediately proceeded to Dunning, where
the latter opened the body of M'Lellan, and analysed
the contents of his stomach, among which there is said to
have been detected a considerable quantity of arsenic. An
investigation immediately took place, and the result was the
full committal of Mrs. M'Lellan, charged with the murder of
her husband. From what we have been able to lerarn
of this tragic affair, it appears that 11PLellan and
his wife had not, for a considerable time past, been
on the best of terms with each other, arising, it is
alleged, from her partiality for a mason of the name
of Gow, who had been lodging with them for several years.
(It may be here remarked that Gow was also taken into cus-
tody, on suspicion of being connected with the murder ; but
there being no evidence to criminate him, he was liberated on
Monday.) The poison, it is said, was administered to
M'Lelian on Saturday evening, when at his tea, on
a soda scon,' the butter and arsenic being covered
over with currant jelly. The unfortunate man died
the subsequent evening in great agony. The woman
who purchased the arsenic, came voluntarily and gave her
testimony to the authorities, she not having been suspected
as being connected with the affair. It is further alleged Oa*
a previous attempt, in the same way, had been made on the
Friday evening, but not in sufficient quantity to elf ct
fatal purpose. As we have already said, the h
Free 44, weggtrage7
h
caused a deep sensation in Dunning, as well as t
the whole neighbour4oo4l.—Edi" burg i?_-rtoerg:brout
