SOUTHTVARK.

Sarah Turner Winter, a middle-aged respectable-
looking woman, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged
with having in her possession a box containing 200
sovereivas, a valuable gold watch and chain, two gold
rings, fifteen silk handkerchiefs, and a large quantity of
black spun silk, supposed to have been stolen from one
of the railway companies near the metropolis.
Rebecca Sergeant said she was the wife of one of the
officials connected with the Eastern Counties Railway at
Stratford. Her husband kept a house at West Ham, and
the prisoner's brother, who was employed on the rail-
way, lodged with them. A few days ago the prisoner
came to lodge with him, and on Sunday morning, while
he was absent on duty, the prisoner showed her a hand-
some gold watch and chain, and entered her brother's
room. When she came out she told witness that she
was compelled to leave suddenly, as something had hap-
pened which made her uneasy; that she had left the
watch and other property for her brother, and that as
soon as be came home she hoped witness would send him
after her. She left the house a little after eleven o'clock
in the morning, but her brother did not return home
till eleven at night. As soon as he entered the house
she informed him that his sister had suddenly quitted
the house, but she had left a gold watch and other pro •
perty for him. Har brother scorned astounded, and ex-
claimed, " My sister can have no gold watch to give me,
and whatever property she has left for me v.ou must come
and look at it with me, as I will have nothing to do with
her or her property." Shortly afterwards they entered
his room, and found the gold watch, 200 sovereigns,
and other property, when a police-constable was called
in to take charge of them.
Prisoner—l did not intend to give the watch to my
brother. I said my brother was to keep it in use until
my husband came home. I dare not give it away.
Thomas Haddington, police. constable 189 K, said,
about one o'clock that morning ho was called into the
last witness's house at West Ham. He went up stairs
and found a box, containing two hundred sovereigns,
a gold watch and guard chain, two gold rings, fifteen
silk handkerchiefs, and about a quarter of a hundred
weight of black spun silk. They were all taken out
of a box belonging to a young mane:lamed Lawrence,
the prisoner's brother.
Joseph Benton, police-constable 381 K, said he found
the prisoner that afternoon at No. 80, York-street,
Kingsland-road. She had two children with her, and
when he told her that she was suspected of stealing the
above property, which she had left at her brother's lodg-
ings, she acknowledged taking them there, but declined
to answer how she became possessed of them.

Prisoner—l said I took them to my brother's for
safety.
Benton—She said that her husband was in trouble,
and being afraid that their house would be searched,
she took them there to b 3 out of the way.
Mr. SECKER—What is her husband ? Mrs. Ser-
geant—lle used to be a porter on the South-Western
Railway, but he was discharged some time ago.
Sergeant John William Manning, of the Stratford
police, informed the magistrate that he had been to the
South-Western Railway Company, and had ascertained
that the prisoner's husband was -discharged on account
of an immense quantity of silk being lost on the line,
and suspicion having attached to him, He had every
reason to believe that in a fcw days some further clue
would be obtained, which would show that the property
found was the produce of the plunder, and that ho
should be authorised to apprehend the husband.
Mr. SECKER said that, according to Mrs. Sergeant's
evidence, the case was one for investigation at the Lam-
beth Police-court ; therefore he should remand the pri-
soner to gaol, and order her to be taken before the ma-
gistrates there to-morrow (this) morning.
WESTMINSTER.
Sir James Sutherland M'Kenzie, whose name has of
late been repeatedly before the public, and who was com-
mitted from this court on the 12th of June, in default of
finding sureties for his geed behaviour, and has ever
since been in custody, was brought up from the House of
Detention, Clerkenwell, by direction of the magistrate.
Upon being brought into court,
Mr. BURRELL said—Sir James M'Kenzie, I have con-
sented, upon the application of your solicitor, to discharge
you upon your entering into your own rceognizances of
2001. to keep the peace. At the same time I much regret
that a man in your station of life, who ought to be able
to command bail, is unable to procure it; and I hope
that, on your own account, you will be more on your
guard in future. lam afraid you indulge in drinking to
excess.

Sir James—As it appears in the papers; bat I can
appeal to any of the members of the St. James's, or
other clubs, to prove that I never display any pugnacity
while in their company. I am never annoyed there.
Mr. BURRELL—They know your infirmity.
Sir James—l beg your pardon; I can always take care
of myself there, but it's the annoyance outsi le that ex-
cites me, not inside the clubs.
Mr. BURRELL—I hope you will be morn cautious.
Sir James—Although I may take a great deal in the
clubs, I am never irritated or excited there.
Mr. BURRELL—No, but you may drink a consider-
able quantity there, and then go out and become excited
by any annoyance. You kaow that boys, and the vul-
gar order of people, seeing a man under the influence
of liquor, are too apt to follow and annoy him. People
will insult a drunken man. I hope, for your own sake,
you will for the /attire be on your guard, or you will get
into constant scrapes; and it is my duty to tell you that
if, after what has occurred, you are again brought
before me, or any other magistrate, you will in all pro-
bability be treated with the utmost possible severity of
the law.
Sir James—You will not see me here again.
Mr. BURRELL—I can have no wish, in offering these
remarks, but that you should conduct yourself as a man
of rank and as a gentleman.
The second clerk then proceeded to bind over Sir
James, in his own recognizances of 2001., to keep the
peace and be of good behaviour for the next twelve
months.

ROYAL NAVAL Scisooz.—A special meeting of the
governors of this institution was held yesterday, on the pre-
mises, New-cross, Deptford, for the purpose of making
various alterations in the rules and by-laws of the corpo-
ration, having reference to the admission of pupils, which
had been approved of by the council, and wero rendered ne-
cessary by the recent Act of Parliament. Admiral Bowles,
C. 8., M.P., took the chair. The following: gentlemen
were also present: —Admiral Sir Watkin Pell, Sir Charle"s
Ogle, Captains Rideout, M'Adams, Stewart, Whish, Clarke,
Gladstone, and Stopford, and Lieutenant Henderson. The
chairman observed, that the resolutions about to be sub-
mitted to the meeting were intended to authorise the ad-
mission into the school of a limited number of the sons of
persons not being officers in the Royal Navy or Marines. He
regretted that he should not be able to continue his atten-
dance during the consideration of the proposed amendments,
as urgent business required his immediate return to London.
The gallagt Admiral accordingly withdrew, and the chair
was taken by Sir W. Pell. The secretary then proceedeel to
read the by-laws, when several, which were incompatible
with the provisions of the Act of Parliament, were rescinded,
and those recommended by the council were, after some dis-
cussion, unanimously adopted in their stead. The meeting
then adjourned.
THE TEA TRADE, JULY 28.—The quantity of tea
delivered in London last week was 640,5711 b., being rather
less than during the previous fortnight.

THE PROBABLE FIELDS, AND WINNERS OF
TO-aORROW'S RACES AT GOODWOOD.

TO THE EDITOR OE THE SUN.
SlR,—Although the value of the stakes run for to-day,
at Goodwood, is by many hundreds greater than each of
the other days, amounting as they will do to somewhere
about six thousand pounds or upwards, yet to-morrow,
on account of the Goodwood Stakes standing then for
decision, is generally considered the day of the meeting,
" the Stakes" being a race on which, for many years past,
immense sums have been betted; in this respect this
year will form no exception to the rule, large sums hav-
ing been invested on several of the competitors, to wit:—
The Grand Duke, Presto, Backbiter, Cariboo, Narcissus
and Harpsichord, and very fair sums on some seven or
eight others. To-morrow's " bill of fare" is headed
with a Handicap Plate, value 50 sovs., which, with
The Stewards' Cup, the Cowdray
Stakes, and a
couple of 10 sovs. Sweepstakes, I have not
at the time of writing, although these stakes closed last
evening, received the entries for. The Drawing Room
Stakes, value 5851. (including the bonus), two miles one
furlong and forty yards, of course rests between IlEssE
HOMBURG' and Lord Exeter's horse, which will, in all
probability, be Phlegethon ; both these animals are bred
for a distance, bur, as Hesse receives 51bs for her sex, I
think it most likely that will turn the scale of victory in
her favour. Nothing else will run, without Sir Rowland
Trenchard should be started for the off-chance. The
mile and a quarter 300 sovs. stakes, for colts, would tall,
I should say, to HERNANDEZ ; Bonnie Dundee or Hip-
polytus obtaining the dubious honour of being
second and last. Neither Croupier, Storm, or
Kakiatos will run. The mile and a quarter
300 Sovs. Stakes for fillies, will be:won by Mr. Grat-
wicke's ANSPACH, and, very possibly without a contest.
The field for the Goodwood Stakes will, by the time of
starting, be run up to about a score, probably the fol-
lowing :—Cariboo, 4 yrs, Bst 81b; Pitsford, 4 yrs, Bst 31b;
Backbiter, 6 yrs, 7st 91b; Windischgratz, 4 yrs, 7st 91b;
Duc-an-Durras, 6 yrs, 7st 51b; Vampire, aged, 6st 111 b;
Clarissa, 5 yrs, Est 41b; Humphrey, 4 yrs, Est 21b; Gla-
dioli, 4 yrs, Est llb; Narcissus, 4 yrs, Est llb; Bacton,
4 yrs, sst 131 b ; Salute, 4 yrs, sst 121 h; Runnymede, 3
yrs, sst 101 b. ; Grand Duke, 3 yrs, sst 51b; Presto,
3 yrs, sst 31b; Cornelius, 3 yrs, sst 101 b, or Ingrati-
tude, 3 yrs, sst; Harry Scurry, 3 yrs, sst, or Girdle,
3 yrs, 4st 121 b; British Boy, 3 yrs, 4st 121 b; Ischia
(D); Harpsichord, 3 yrs, 4st 71b; and Miss Whip colt,
3 yrs, 4st 41b. My opinion with respect to the winner
remains unaltered, THE GRAND DUKE or NARCISSUS to
furnish to-morrow's hero, with Duc-an-Durras, Presto,
and Pitsford in close attendance. The next flight, I
fancy, will consist of Miss Whip colt, the Grand Duke's
schoolmaster—V ampyre, Windischgratz, Backbiter,
Runnymede, and Cariboo. The betting in town this
morning, considering tho great number of the betting
fraternity that have departed for the scene of action in
Sussex is uncommonly brisk; latest prices as followb:
Gratwicke-2 to lon Hernandez. Goodwood Stakes-
-4 to 1 agst Grand Duke, 9 to 2 taken; 8 to 1 agst Nar-
cissus, 8 to 1 agst Backbiter, 10 to 1 agst Cariboo, 10 to
1 agst Dac-an- Durres, taken freely; 100 to 7 agst Pits-
ford. Goodwood Cup-7 to 2 agst Nancy, 4to 1 agst
Clincher, 4 to 1 east Cariboo, 5 to 1 agst Mentes.
Claverhouse and the Cheshire Witch filly are in great
demand for the Ham Stakes, the prices, however; so
variable that I cannot quote any.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
