POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE TIATMAUKET BASKET WOMEN AND THE POLICE.—
Six women, named Catherine Regan, Elizabeth Maria
Sayers, Elizabeth Miller, Elizabeth Jones, Mary M'Carthy,
and Catherine Ryan, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with obstructing the pathway with baskets containing fruit
and flowers.
Police-constable Laurence Poole, 301 A, said that shortly
before one o'clock that morning he saw tho prisoners be-
tween the Haymarket and the Regent-circus, Piccadilly,
with large baskets containing flowers and fruit. The
baskets, which were on the footway, caused such an ob-
struction that persons had to walk into the road to pass
along. Ho had cautioned the prisoners several times be-
fore, and finding that of no use, ho took them into custody.
Inspector Harrison said that the place was ro infested
with basket women Ott night that personsfound difficulty in
passing along the place.
The constable stated that Ryan, Jones, and M'Carthy
had been fined before for a similar offence—Ryan and
Jones ss. each, and M'Carthy 2s. 6d. Ryan was very
drunk, aul he had great trouble iu getting her to the
station.
Jones said she had a child suffering from disease of the
lungs; some of the other prisoners—for two or three
spoke at a time—said they had children to keep, while
others said they were not causing any obstruction.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was impossible to overlook the
matter. lie would fine them 2s. 6d. each, and if they
came before him again they would be fined 40s. each.
WILFUL DAMAGE THROUGH REVENGE.—JuIia Fletcher,
a young woman, was charged with breaking a window at
the house of Mr. Cook, Great Windmill-street, con-
fectioner and refreshment-house keeper.
The prisoner went to Mr. Cook's yesterday, and said
that ss Mr. Cook had locked up her friend for breaking
his window he should go to the court again, and she then
broke a pane of glass of the value of 125., and was banded
over to Harris, 77 C.
. Mr. '.oyrwhitt ordered her to pay the damage and a fine
of 55., or 14 days.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES—THURSDAY.
It is generally conceded that the Cup Day at Goodwood
attracts the most brilliant company of the whole week, and
to-day was no exception, the attendance, independently of
being the largest of the three days, being decidedly the
most select and aristocratic. The Prince of Wales and
Prince de Teck were again present, as were also the whole
of the distinguished party staying at Goodwood House,
the residence of the Duke of Richmond. The race of the
day was of course for the Cup, but it will be observed that
that valuable prize was contested for by the limited field of
five runners. Soon after assembling on the course it trans-
pired that the pen had been put through the name of
D'Estournel, and that Lecturer, the stable com-
panion of Vauban, would bo au absentee. Consequent
upon these announcements the rac was looked upon in
the light of a " moral" for the Duke of 13,aufort's cult,
and general satisfaction was evinced when it became likey
that the two great events of the meeting would fall to the
noble Master of the IDrse, the Duke-of I.L‘aufort, who had
already won the G Jed wood Stakes with Gomera. Vauban,
it is hardly necessary to say, won the Two Thousand, and'
after being a good favourite, ran third for the Derby. The
partisans of the Danebury stable have always maintained
that staying was the special forte of Vauban, and they
were greatly disappointed that ho did not win the Derby,
contending that ho could not have lost had there been a
good pace for him, Uncas entirely failing to fulfil his
mission to make the pace sufficiently strong to be of ser-
vice to the son of Muscovite. The Cup was set for
decision at the comparatively early hour of two o'clock,
and the appearance of the competitors, who were all
saddled prior to that time, created great interest.
When the flag full, Fordham rushed to the front with Miss
Havelock to " take them along," and, owing to the zeal of
the jockey, the Northamptonshire Stake victress was at one
point of the race leading nearly a hundred yards. Her
stable companion was always at the head of the others,
and took up the running immediately she was in difficul-
ties. Daley called upon Regalia at the entrance into tho
straight, but she died away after making a momentary
effort, and Tyndale was left to do battle with Vauban.
Cameron rods with great determination, but Parry exer-
cised great patience, and the favourite won in almost a park
canter. Regalia was a bad third, and the issue proves,
wh t has long been suspected, that the mare cannot stay.

prior to the start on the day of the race.
Betting-7 to 4on Vauban, 9to 4 agst Regalia, and 100
to 8 agst Tynedale. The preliminary eanters were taken,
and the two favourites were eagerly scanned by their
respective admirers. Vauban, of.course, received the lion's
share of attention ; but Regalia, by her free style of going
and magnificent condition, gave renewed confidence to her
friends. After parading in front of the stand Mr. M'George
conducted the five competitors to the starting-post, and at
once relieved the suspense of the spectators by giving the
word to go. Fordham obeying his mission im, licitly, to
force the pace for the favourite, sent Miss Havelock to the
front, but although she held a long lead she could go no
pace, notwithstanding resolute riding. Vauban lay next,
about three-quarters of a length in advance of Tynedale,
clear of whom came Lord Glasgow's colt, Regalia bringing
up the rear. Beyond the fact that Miss Havelock increased
her lead to nearly 100 yards as they approached the
Clump turn," and that the pace was wretchedly bad, no
variation occurred until they appeared in sight from be-
hind the hill, when the Toxopholite colt was observed to be
in the rear of Regalia. The front rank had also undergone
some change, Vauban now being in close attendance on
Miss Havelock, and as they ascended the hill he took up
the running, closely attended, however, by his stable
companion, who gave way as they came into the straight,
dropping a long way to the rear of everything. Daley
now called upon Regalia, but, after a vain effort, in which
she just succeeded iu getting to Tynedele's quarters, she
died away to nothing, and the northern horse was alone
left to do battle with the formidable Vauban. Most de-
terminedly did Cameron ride to overhaul the favourite, but
all his efforts were in vain, as Parry had but to sit and hold
the Two Thousand winner, who won in a canter by three
parts of a length. Regalia, completely pumped out, was a
bad third, Lord Glasgow's colt and Miss Havelock being
beaten off. The time, as taken by Benson's chronograph,
was as follows: —Start, 2h. 6m. 30s. ; arrival, 211.11 m. 50s.
Duration of race, sm. 20s.

DROWNED BY A POLYPUS.—The Genoese Gazette
says :—" A few days back a person bathing between Cur-
polypus, and the creature so interlaced its numerous
nigliano and Sestri, in the Gulf of Genoa, was seized by a
large
t acles round him, that he was unable, in spite of all his
efforts, to free himself, and was dragged under water and
drowned. None of tlio other bathers ventured to go to his
ItEigatance."

ALPINE ACCIDENTS.

" Who repeats in tones of sorrow the names of
friend or relative that has perished among the soli-
tudes of the lligher Alps? The Junfrau's spotless
snow, the crested summit of the Wetterhorn, Monte
Rasa's craggy peaks, are all guiltless of the travel-
ler's blood. These and many other lofty pinnacles

of Switzerland have welcomed the adventurous
mountaineer, and death or severe accident is un-
known." Thus hardly more than ten years ago wrote
a true-hearted gentleman, a skilled an I dauntless
cragsman, whose early fate, and not his only, stand.'
out the saddest emphasis of contrast to his words.
The Matterhorn catastrophe, in which he perished
with his lamented companions, is far from stand-
ing alone on the black list which has accumulated
since those words were penned. At that time six-
and-thirty years had softened dawn the recollection
of the fatal accident to Ilamel's party on Mont
Blanc, and six-and-twenty that of the loss of two
Englishmen near the (Jul du Bonhomme in a tour-
mente. But only some three years more had passed
when a series of fatal seasons commenced with the
loss of Archdeacon llardwick in descending from
the Pic de Sauvegarde, near the Porte de Venasque
in the Pyrenees, and of M. Grotte on the Findelen
Glacier near . Zermatt. These accidents occurred

in 1859. In the year following we were
again saddened by the fatal accident in descend-
ing from the Col du Geant to Courmayeur, in
which three young Englishmen and a guide perished;
and before the last notes of that mournful in-
telligence had quite died away we hai to mourn
the loss of Mr. Watson in a crevasse on the
Winacher Ferner in the Tyrol. The marvellOus
escape of Mr. Birkbeck, jun., on the northern
glacier of Miage in 1861, after a slide from the Col
to a point a full third of a mile vertically lower, is
well known. In the same year a French lady,
descending the Gemmi on a mule, was thrown over
the edge of the precipice and killed. Mr. Long-
man, juu, also _ had a narrow escape in 1862
on the Aletsch Glacier, where be fell into a deep
crevasse. The same year Bennen and his friend
Professor Tyndall, aided by Sir John Lubbock,
rescued a Porter from a crevasse in the Aletsch
Glacier, in which he had been wedged for more
than an hour, entirely covered up by the snow and
icicles which he had carried with him in his fall.
Then followed a year of respite from fatal acci-
dent. But on the 28th February, 1864, a traveller,
with the famous guide Bennen and a porter,
perished on the Haut de Cry near Sion, in an ava-
lanche, three of the party escaping. The same year
a porter was lost in a crevasse on Mont Blanc,
and Professor Tyndall and two friends, with the
guides Jenni and Walther, had a narrow escape
from worse than bruises on the Morteratsch Glacier.
A still more terrible record belongs to the two fol-
lowing seasons. In the first, the death of Mrs.
Arbuthnot by lightning on the Schilthorn was fol-
lowed by the catastrophe on the Matterhorn, and
that almost immediately by the loss of Mr. Kny-
vett Wilson on the Riffelhorn, while the lapse of
another ten days saw a third fatal accident on
Monte Rosa by an avalanche, from which, however,
all the party escaped except one of the porters.
These three fatal occurrences took place within a
fortnight on ground which might be swept by a
radius of less than five miles. But still three
more deaths were due to that year. In the fol-
lowing month Herr Ilupner, of Dresden, perished
with his guide on the Titlis ; and a student of
Erlangen found a grave in a crevasse, descend-
ing the Gross Venediger Spitz. Last year was
hardly less fatal. Besides the two accidents
on Mont Blanc, which resulted in the loss of
five lives, three ladies, with the carriage and horse
which conveyed them, were precipitated into the
Tamina between Ragatz and Pfeffers, and there
was at least one other loss of life on the borders of
the Lake Lucerne. This is a fearful array of
casualties for only eight seasons, nor can it be
regarded as absolutely complete. But if we set it
down that about 22 travellers and 11 guides or
porters have perished in Alpine expeditions in the
ast eight years we shall not be far from the truth.
