PEDESTRIANISM.
MOUNTJOY AND DANCR.--The snatch between these
youths to pick up fifty stones, one yard apart, was
brought to issue yesterday at Wandsworth, and after a
good race Mountjoy (son of the veteran) was declared
the winner by one stone.
DAY AND WlcnsELL.—These men, the first of Mary-
lebone and the latter of Somers-town, met yesterday on
Wandsworth-common to decide their match of 100
yards, for 51. aside. They appeared at the scratch in
racing gear shortly after four, and, after several false
starts, they got otf, Wigzell with the lead, which he
maintained, and was declared the winner. There was
little betting, owing to a rumour being afloat that it was
to be a " cross."

THE VESTRY CLERESIIIPOPst.e:tIIhEIN.mTuDANES.
--Yesterday, Mr.lsaaeson, Mr.
and Mr. Bisgood, went to the poll as candidates fomrutfilii:
office, rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr. Steel.

up with considerable spirit until four, when Mr. Church-
warden Jaquet declared the numbers to be as follows:
Isaacson, 263; Score, 215 ; M'Murrough, 71; Bisgood, 32.
The vestry was adjourned until this morning, when the
polling will be resumed.
NEW REGISTRATION COURT.--From the report of
the committee, consisting of his Grace the Duke of Ar-
gyll, Right Hon. James Stuart, James Matheson, Esq.,
M.P., Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq.. M.P., and the Chis-
holm, appointed by the Scottish Hos
to inquire into the propriety of erecting a new building
in connexion with that society, it appears that Govern-
ment has determined upon building a new
registration
court, and has intimated to the governors of the Scottish
Hospital that the site of the buildings at present occu-
pied by that corporation will be required for that
purp.ose.
WINTER ASSIZES..--CIIESIIIIII AND LANCASHIRE.
—Yesterday a special commission was issued for holding
a winter assize of oyer and terminer and general gaol
delivery for the counties of Cheater and Lancaster, the
Judges appointed to hold the assizes being the Right
Hon. Mr. Baron Alderson and Hon. Mr. Justice Erie.
The following days have been fixed for holding each of
the assizes, viz., for the city and county of Chester, at
the Castle, at Chester, on Tuesday, the sth of December
next; and for the county of Lancaster, at Liverpool, on
Saturday, the 9th of December. York.—yesterday a
special commission for holding a winter general assize of
oyer and terminer for the county and city of York was
issued; and the Hon. Mr. Justice Maule and the lion.
Mr. Baron Platt, the Judges appointed by order of the
Queen's warrant to proceed and hold such assizes, have
appointed Saturday, the 9th of December next, at the
Castle of York, to open the commission, which applies
only to cases of a criminal nature.
SERIOUS ILLNESS OP LORD MELBOURNE.—It is
feared that his Lordship is dying. At one time the
family at Brocket did not expect on Thursday that he
would live through the day. On Friday he rallied, and
on Saturday morning he still continued rather better.
But the impression is that though he may linger on for a
week, or even longer, he cannot recover.
DEATH OF AIR. CHARLES HEATH, THE ENGRAVER.
—'l his gentleman, whose name has been so long familiar
to the public as an artist of no common genius, died on
Saturday last, after an illness of some duration. He was
the son of Mr. James Heath, a celebrated engraver of
his day.
The Earl of Cardigan, it is understood, has been
induced to tender an apology to Captain Gerard Noel,
of the 11th Hussars, for insulting expressions addressed
to that officer, and upon this apology the last utFair in
that regiment has been arranged. ,
THE MURDER AT ST. LEONARD s.—Yesterday an
investigation into the circumstances connected with this
murder (some particulars of which have already ap-
peared in The Sun) took place before the borough ma-
gistrates of Hastings, the Mayor presiding. From an
apprehension, however, that publicity might tend to
defeat the ends of justice the inquiry was conducted in
private.
