PONY RACE AT RENVULEYO—..A. little sporting affair
took place in the neighboulbood of Bewdley, on Monday
afternoon last, which created much interest. Beeswing, a
pony, the property of Mr. James Hooper, landlord of the
Peacock Inn, Bewdley, was backed for fifteen sovereigns to
run against a pony named Mystery, brought forward by Mr.
Muck, residing near Cleobury. The race came off in a field
at the back of Spring Grove plantations, in the presence of
a large concourse of spectators. Mr. Hooper rode hie own
pony, carrying nine stone, and Mystery was viiiden by a boy
carrying eight stone; the latter pony beingillowed one stone.
The distance, two mile heats. After a long interval of sus-
pense the necessary preparations were at length concluded,
and the start took place. Mystery took the lead at starting,
and maintained it throughout the whole of the first heat,
which she won gallantly, les.:ing her opponent far behind.
Much Burp is*" was felt Hooper holding in his pony, and
repressing its speed, The first heat having thus terminated,
after a short time had elapsed it was announced that the
stakes bad been withdrawn ; and all parties retired, rather
disappointed at this unexpected conclusion. Mystery was

WHAT SHOULD PARLIAMENT Do!—A difficulty
exists—from the great number of projects now before Par-•
llament—as to what course should be pursued as regards
them. That difficulty is very easily conquered. Let Par-
liament pass Bills for all the really good lines, and add an
enactment to each that no call should be made on the share-
holders for two years, at least. Money will be scarce for
some time to come. Railways must be made. Pass the
Bills, suspend the carrying them into operation before
money is again plentiful, and all will be well.—Railway

SUSPECTED DEATH BY VIOLENCE.
(From the Plynrouth Jourisal.)

sion on the chest and head. Effusion would arise from
many causes, one of which is violence. Ido not think
the blows of the stick on the mouth would have pro-
duced effusion after a lapse of so long a time.
The foreman here asked the witness whether he did
not think it his duty, as a professional man, in a case of so
serious a nature as this, to make known the circum-
stances of the case in order that an inquiry might be in-
stituted as to the cause of death ?
Mr. Giles—l left it with the family of the deceased,
whose duty I considered it was, if they were not satisfied,
to cause an inquiry to be made.
A juror—Did you suggest anything of the kind?
Mr. Giles —No.
The Foreman—l do confess, Mr. Coroner and gentle-
men, that I think it an exhibition of great remissness on
the part of the medical man, knowing the circumstances
under which the deceased came by her death, not to
make it known to other parties.
The CORONER—I think it is deserving of censure.
Mr. Giles repeated that he considered, it inquiry wis
necessary, the relatives of the deceased party were the
persons who ought to move in the matter.
A juror—I believe that the medical man, who must
be supposed to know more of the human frame than any
body else, is the best judga of the necessity of inquiry
into the cause of death ; and he is guilty of great im-
propriety if he neglects what I conceive to be his duty.
Another juror—I think, Mr. Coroner, this conversa-
tion hardly belongs to the present stage of this inquiry
—hardly in place at this moment. I should like to ask
one question of the witness, and that is, whether in his
opinion there were any symptoms which he observed
about the deceased which would lead him to suppose
that the deceased died from purely natural causes.
Mr. Giles—There were some symptoms certainly.
A juror—Did it never enter into your mind that it
would be desirable that the matter should be investi
gated ? Mr. Giles—l cannot say it did.
Some further questions were then asked of the witness.
which resui!ed in the addition of the following to his
evidence never occurred to me thet any iz:quir::
was necessary to be instituted as to the cause of the
death of the deceased ; if it had I certainly should have
done so.

The Court was then clearefl, and some of the jury
lavicg expressed their disatisfaction t the evidence o
Mr. tides, the coroner slit for Mr. Freeman, who we.
ordered to make a post morlem examination of the bod
and the inquest was adjourned to receive his evidence.

Tux Hun.. SAILORS' STRIKE.—EIOTOUS PROCEED-
INGS.—WedueIsday afternoon a disturbance took place, in the
immediate vicinity or the Humber Dock, which originated
through the exiting disputes, respecting- wages, between the
seamen and the shipowners. It appears that the seamen,
who have been some weeks out of empioymeat, owing to their
having struck for au advance of wages, which to a great ex-
tent,has been resisted by the masters, have regularly assem-
bled in large numbers in the neighbourhood of the docks,
a proceeding which created some alarm in the minds of the
authorities, and, accordingly, a strong body of the police
force have been stationed on duty to prevent any broach
of the pea :e. As the sailors connected with the
" strike" nerty did not ruauifest any apparent disposition to
create a disturbance, the number of policemen on duty ie
the locality in question was reduced. 'Ms proceeding seems
to have, been taken - advantage of, and yesterday afternoon
the Bee, cf Glasgow, was leaving the dock when a sirnulta
neous attack was made upon tha crew, in consequence, as
we are informed, of their having entered into an engagement
with the owner or owners at a less salary than the turnouts
had demanded. S:oneS and other missiles were hurled
with fearful rapidity, and the police accordingly interfered,
when a regular affray occurred. An eye-witness informs tea
that there were several hundreds either taking part in or wit-
nesses to the disturbance, and the police having captured one
man, whom they deemed as the most prominent character
in the riot, they proceeded with their charge to the sta-
tion-house in Blanket row, amidst the most execrable
shouts and hootings. Inspector Allison took a very active
part in endeavouring to suppress the disorder that prevailed,
when a large stone was thrown, it is supposed with the in-
tent of in2icting injury upon him, but which caught a by-
stander, named James Wood, residing in Paradise-place, on
the head, and knocked him down. The poor fellow was
severely stunned by the blow, and it was some time before
he rallied from its effects. The police on duty having re-
ceived a considerable acquisition to their numbers, they were
enabled to quell the riotous proceedings, and secure several
of the principal actors in the affray, who were taken to the
station-house, and will undergo examination before the ma-
gistrates this day. Such conduct as that to which we have
here allmyied is highly culpable, and is calculated to injure;
rather than benefit, the object of the parties coruectei with
the strike. Flail Advertiser.
A lady riding on Monday in an omnibus along thr.
Boulevard to the itue de la Chaussea d'Antin, was seated
next a young man of gentlemanly appearance and dress,
who, after; some rather warm compliments, pressed so dose
to her, and at last took such liberties, that she was obliged
to reprove him rather severely. Ile pretended to take the'
rebuke in all humility, modestly acknowledged his error, and
then, desiring the conductor to Stop the omnibus, alighted
and walked away. Some minutes afterwards, the lady
having occasion to refer td Tier pocket-book, found that i was gone, anti with it a bank-note for 500 francs and a rail-
real share.. She immediately 'proclaimed. her loss, and got
out of the omnibus to pursue- her late. fellow passenger, the
real object of whose fiardiliarity was now but too evident. It
is needless to say that 'he was no longer at her tali.—Gully

A - laughable incident occurred at Romsey Abbey
Church, on Sunday morning last. An oat-asked couple, a
" navierand one of the factory ladies, presented themselves
to be united in the indissoluble bond of matrimony. The
ceremony performed, the officials naturally looked for their
fees—the clergyman received hie, but the clerk and sexton
heard with rueful countenance that none were forthcoming
for them, the husband stating that the parson was quite
enough to marry him, " without them other two fellows."
As neither threats nor entre lies could prevain on him to
alter his delseminat ion, it was resolve': to try the effect of a little confinement, so the triopy cotipie anti their at tendall were locked into the v. stry ; 'but here. however, consolation
under trials was not wanting, for being armed with their
pipes and a match: they comtortahfy'enjoved themselves for
more than hour, till the arrival of
people for morning ser-'
vice compelled them to be dismissed, the fumes of the to-
bacco rather offending the olfactory nerves of some of the
more sensitive part of the, congregation.—Brighton Gazette.

THE FLOOD. —Srlveral hundred acres of land in the
neighbourhood of Gainsborough, and on the Trent side, have
become inundated this week through the almost unpre-
cedented heavy rains. Great fears are entertained that the
wheat crops will suffer considerably. Several parts of Mor-
ton Carr, an area of
Theabout 4,000 acres, present the appear

erected ther, alth. ough.running night and day, cannot keep,

occupiers of land not keeping the rains well cleaned out,
so as to let the water have free access to the engine. It is
hoped the Commissioners will see the necessity of some strin-

characters residing on the Carr to get their dikes in proper

On Wednesday, J. Edmonds, Esq., the coroner of this
borough, and a respectable jury, assembled at the Guild-
hall, fur the purpose of instituting an inquiry into the
cause of the death of Rebecca Wyatt, the wife of a beer-
house keeper in Lower-lane. The death of the deceased
took place about three months ago, when she was in-
terred in ti:e burial ground in Westwill-street ; and it
was in consequence of a representatan made by the
mother and friends of the deceased to the coronae that
that gentleman, with a promptness in the execution of
his duty which has always characterised his proceedings,
and for which he on this occasion justly receivid the
approbation and thanks of the jury, immediately caused
the necessary steps to be taken for the investigation.
The body of the deceased was exhumed, and the jury
having chosen Mr. Thomas llolnaaa as their foreman,
proceeded to view it.
The first witness examined was named Elizabeth
Rowe. She deposed that she had known the deceased
abent three or four years. She remembered Sunday be-
fore Christmas day, she then Heed in Wyatt's house.
About nine o'clock in the morning she heard angry
words between the deceased and her husband, which
lasted for some time, when she saw him strike her with
his fist. She had not then attempted to strike him. She
then saw the deceased heave the ash kettle at him, and
he hove it again at her. This difference continued for
some time, and Wyatt was getting the better of the de•
ceased, when she ran to the wash-house and took up a
piece of wood which was used for stirring the clothes in
the furnace when boiling. Witness did not see any
more then ; but in about a minute the deceased came
out of the wash-house, where she and her husband were.
The piece of wood was then in Wyatt's hand, and the de-
ceased was Weeding from the mouth, and three of her
tee th P. ere knocked out, and her eye was also very much
braised. Witness then went to Wyatt, who was gone
into the bar, and said to him, "Mr. Wyatt, I think you
have broken your wife's jaw." He said, "If I have I
will send for Dr. Giles." He did not deny having
struck her, but said she had attempted to strike him
first. She did not see deceased again until the follow-
ing Monday, when she found her in bed in a most
awful condition, her left eye was still swollen, and she
could scarcely open her mouth. Witness saw her down
stairs on Tuesday morning, the 23d, but she again took
to her bed on Saturday, where she remained until her
death, which took place on the Ist of January. On the
Sunday after Christmas-day, the husband of the de-
ceased said she had been struck by a soldier whist
putting him out of doors, and that the blow was about
the pit of the se mach. The stick now produced b.)
Mr. Harris, the consteble, is the same she had seen in
Wiliiam Wyatt's hand, and previously in the hands of
the deceased.
Other witnesses corroborated the above evidence, and
also gave an account of a quarrel which had taken place
on the Saturday after Christmas-day, about eight o'clock
in the evening, between some soldiers and the deceased,
one of whom struck her on the stomach, which caused
her to fall in a fainting state on the stairs.
An eld woman named Maria Bowden, living in the
workhouse, who was frequently in the habit of visiting
the deceased, deposed to some conversation which she
had had with the deceased on New Year's eve, is which
the latter, who was then in bed, and apparently near her
death, said to her that Wyatt had often told her he
would give her a blow that would send her to her grave;
and now he had done it. The deceased never com-
plained of having been struck by a soldier.
Charles Giles, surgeon, examined, said, I have been
the family surgeon to the deceased seven years ; I was
called to attend her on Sunday, the 28th of December,
about one o'clock. I found her in bed. She had then a
black eye and a great swelling about the mouth. I
found her very ill, complaining of pain in her head and
stomach. She complained of blows received from her
husband, and of having been struck by a soldier. She
died the Ist of January. I gave the usual certificate o
her death, which was to the effect that she died of effu-
