CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
___ ____

OLD COURT.

The Court sat at half-past nine o'clock this morning.
James Thoracic and George Wood were placed at the bar, charged
with stealing 18 bottles of wine from Mr. George Sloane.
The evideice was somewhat circumstantial, and at the conclusion
of it, when the prisoners were separately asked if they wished to say
anything, they each contradicted the other in the account they gave
of the manner in which they had become possessed of the wine found
with them. They were found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment and hard labour.
John Bosicel pleaded guilty to stealing gold pins, some sovereighs,
and other property, from Edward Harman, ironmonger.—Sentenc,
defined.

James Labor, labourer, aged 18, was charged with a burglary in ilk,
dwelling•house of Elizabeth Turner, of No. 7, Surrey-place, Kenning-
ton, on the night of the 9th of March. It appeared, from the ev!-
dence of the prosecutrix, that on the night in question she heard the
window of her drawing-room raised, upon which she got up, ru.d
called the police, who came, got in at the window, and found the pr:-
loner standing on the side-board, who said he had come there for a
night's lodging.—(Laughter.)
A police-eonstabie produced a lanthorn, a screw-driver, and
some paste and brown paper, which he had found in the chimney.
The paste and brown paper, he said, were for the purpose of ptittin.
up to a pane of glass, to prevent it making a noise if broken,
The prisoner was defended by Mr. PAYNE, who contended that
there was no evidence of an intention to steal.
•

The jury, after having deliberated for ,some time, found the
prisoner Guilty.

The COURT sentenced the prisoner to transportation for ten years.
James Hollywood, aged 24, described as a salesman, stood charged
with stealing a cash-box, value 5.5., eight bank-notes value 6Q, sixty
sovereigns, and otter moneys, the property of dames Sykes, his
master.

It appeared by the evidence of the prosecutor, one of the
vergers of St. Paul's, that the prisoner boarded with him.
On the 26th of last month, after having been absent from
town for some time, on his return he found that a cupboard
in his bed-room had been broken open, and a purse, containing
one 201. note, two 101. notes, and five 51. notes, and 18 sovereigns,
had been abstracted, and also a cash-box, containing 40/. in silver
and gold, and a promissory note for 101. The prisoner was arrested
on the 12th of this month. Ire expressed his sorrow to the policeman
for what he had done. A considerable portion of the money was
found on his person. _ _

The jury said they wouhl not trouble his Lordship to sum up, awl
returned a verdict of Guilty.

The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for ten years.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSAL LS-1: EiTElln AY.'
The attention of a large maker of the subseribers was again
chiefly directed to the rich Handicap to be run for on 'Epsom Downs
on Friday next. • It was obtiofis from the very commencement of
the betting that Peasant was 'to be invested with the premiership.
The 'Commissions were numberless, and a few, fortunately for the
principals, were executed at R and 10- to I ; the Myers, however,
were net slow in taking advantage of the e o.e9ss.,Mgot.ea. and

It and 13 to I, and Satyr at 18 and 20 to 1 ; the other transactions
were not indicative of any decided feeling, either for or against the
horses quoted. With the exception of Miss Bums, who appeared to
be rather on the totter, most of the Chester Cup horses were steady,
at something near the last average ; of the outsiders Crim. Con. was
most in request. The Derby betting was flat, still we should men-
tion that Sting and Brocardo were in constant demand, and that
1,100 to 30 was taken in three or four places about Humdrum; Tib•
thorpe declined to 30 to 1, but left off with backers. We subjoin the
last quotations :

THE GREAT METROPOLITAN STAKES, 1847.—0ne tavern keeper in
the City has already collected 501. towards this race, and we hear
that, besides the parties already mentioned, Mr. Barr, a very exten-
sive drawer of " sweeps," has "pronounced" in favour of appro-
priating his per centage on the coming events to the next bonus.
With so good and so early a beginning, we have not the slightest
doubt that the licensed victuallers of the metropolis will succeed in
establishing the richest Spring handicap of the season.
SPRING'S TESTIMONIAL AT TIIE NATIONAL BATHS.

If ever the National Baths were intended to verify their title by a
fusion of the "too, too, solid flesh" which Hamlet wished to " thaw
and dissolve itself into a dew," they last night made some approach
to the effecting of that consummation. 1 more densely peeked mass
of humanity than the four walls compressed it has never fallen to our
lot to witness. If aught could add force to the sentiments we pen,
the unequivocal and unmistakeable testimony of respect which this
crowded assembly evinced, would be its proof. The men who mus-
tered from remote parts, men whose names are as familiar as house-
hold words, show that the esprit die corps is yet alive: Ould uncle
Ben, Tom Cribb, Ned Neale, and Ned Painter, Spring and Jem Ward,
Tom Oliver, Broome, and Hannan, reminded us of the days that are
gone, or fast going ; while the burly champion, Caunt, who " gloved
it" with Perry the black, and a host of minor stars, shed their
twinkling raps to show the star of &tic science had not yet made its
last dip beneath the horizon of this revolving world. Is a proof of
the respect in which a worthy, deserving man is held, it was a grati-
fying demonstration

PEDESTRIANISM

Edward Smith and John Clark (the Fawn) ran their 150 yards
race, to leap ten hurdles, for a stake of 101., yesterday, at the Bee-
hive ground, Wandsworth. After a race presenting no features worth
recording, Smith was the winner.
ROBERT INNWOOD (of Tooting) and R. RC/BERM—This match for
101. a-side came off yesterday on Wandsworth-common, the distance
140 yards. It was by no means a fast run race, but Innwood, at its
close, came in a clear winner by half-a-dozen yards.

BURFORD'S PANORAMA OF CONSTANTINOPLE.-111
noticing Mr. Burford's admirable new panorama of the city of Con-
stantinople, we stated, through a slight inadvertency, that it was in
the upper, instead of the large circle. We take the earliest oppor•
tunity of correcting this, as the height of ascent to the former might
deter some from visiting this picture, however desirous of seeing it,
whilst the large area of the latter affords ample scope for the display
of the innumerable beauties of the view.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE Mat. LISTON. Yesterday
morning, at a quarter before ten, tile remains of this celebrated co-
median were consigned to earth in the cemetery at Kensal-green.

the first carriage were Durrant, Esq., Charles Taylor, Esq.,
Charles Kemblc, Esq., J. R. Planche, Esq., and Captain Listen, only
son of the deceased artist; the other carriages were occupied by pri-
