POLICE INTELLIGETCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

THE DERBY. —A FEMALE SERIOUSLY INJURED.—Deme-
trius Pankhurst, a cab proprietor, was charged before Mr.
Mansfield with being drunk and incapable, and also with
seriously injuring Mrs. Agnes Golding, wife of Mr. Gold-
ing, 38, Russell-street, Covent-garden.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the defence.

It appears that the prisoner had been employed by Lord
Arthur Clinton, staying at the Cavendish Hotel, Jermyn-
street, to take his servants and some wine down to the
Derby. He returned at night with the servants to the
hotel, and having Ht them, and no doubt havirg, been well
treated by them, was proceeding towards Bedford-row,
when he knocked down Mrs. Golding, who with her hus-
band was crossing Cranbourn- treet, the result being that
she was so much hurt that she was obliged to be taken to
the Charing-cross Hospital, and the prisoner who was
drunk was taken to the Vine-street station.

Mr. Golding deposed to his wife beiJg knocked down
by the prisoner, who was driving with great rapidity.
Arthur Herring, 60 0, handed to the magistrate a cer
tificate signed by the house suigeo❑ of the Charing-cross
Hospital, to the effect that Mrs. Gol ling was so much In-
jured about the head and legs that the was unable to
attend the court.

Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner, and on the appli-
cation of Mr. Lewis, consented to take bail for the pri-
soner in the sum of £lOO.

Bail was tendered and accepted.
THE TAILORS' STRIKE.— A journeyman tailor came into
the court this morning in a hurried manner, and asked for
the magistrate's protection. He stated that ho had brought
some work from Mr. Poole, in Saville-row, and had been
followed by some men to the door of the court, and he
therefore asked for protection.

Mr. Mansfield asked the applicant whether the persons
had laid hands on him, or had done anything to him.
The applicant said they had not.
Mr. Mansfield said that if the men did or said anything
to him he could interfere, but otherwise not.
The applicant then retired.

The British Corn Trade•

(From Bell's IVeekly Messenger.)
There was a short supply of wheat from Essex
and Kent at Mark-lane on Monday, which -met a
slow sale at the prices of the previous week for all
fine fresh-thrashed qualities, but secondary sorts
were dull, although these were not offered on lower
terms, and some portion was left over unsold for
future markets. The demand for foreign was of a
retail character, country buyers wanting to get into
stock on lower terms, which no factors appeared
to accept, anticipating a renewed demand in a very
short time. At Mark-lane on Wednesday there
were scanty fresh arrivals of English, but good im-
ports of foreign. English samples realised Monday's
prices, with a f.tir steady sale. Foreign qualities
were held with firmness on former terms. At Mark-
lane on Friday the fresh arrivals of english were
very limite I, but there was a liberal iinport of
foreign. Home-grown samples in good condition
sold steadily at Monday's prices for fresh-thrashed
samples; foreign qualities were in fair retail de
maud, at the quotations of Monday generally.
The arrivals of English barley coastwise and by
the railways were only 336 qrs., with imports of
foreign amounting to 5,220 qrs. Good heavy qua-
lities were in fair request for feeding purposes at very
full prices, and there was no quotable change in the
value of other descriptions, and very little of choice
malting quality now comes forward, English being
well nigh exhausted ; and very short deliveries are
made in all the agricultural districts, not sufficient
to satisfy the wants for grinding purposes. This de-
ficiency throws the demand on to foreign sorts
wherever they can be obtained. On Friday the
arrivals coastwise were 150 qrs. and the imports of
foreign 130 qrs. The demand continued to be ex-
clusively on grinding qualities, and these supported
former prices steadily. There is a fair quantity on
passage from the United States, but from other
countries not much more can be expected this season
except from the South of Europe later on in the
season. The weekly average for oats was 255. 101
on 3,607 qrs. against 255. 3d. on 3,899 qrs. the pre-
vious week ; the corresponding one of the past year
was 245. 10d. on 1,987 qrs.
There was a short supply of wheat from Essex
and Kent this (Monday) morning ; that of barley,
beans, and peas was limited, with scanty arrivals of
English oats by the railways, and none from Scot.
land or Ireland. The imports of foreign wheat and
oats have been large, with a moderate quantity of
other articles of the trade. English wheat met a
dull sale, at a decline of fully ls. per qr. on the best
qualities, and rather more on secondary sorts. The
demand for foreign wheat was limited, and prices
were Is. per qr. lower on the few sales effected.
Town flour was unaltered. Country marks were
dull, and rather lower. Foreign qualities were held '
on former terms. Barley was in fair request, at
last week's rates for sweet grinding qualities. There
was a moderate extent of business transactedin oats,
at slightly under the quotations of this day
se'nnight.

REFORM RACES.

(From the Owl.)

In all probability the present year will bo the last occa-
sion on which any of this generation can hopo to witness
what has for the last fifteen years been an.annual struggle.
It is true the interest attaching to the race has varied con-
siderably. For some years since its first establishment it
has created the smallest excitement, and resulted in a mere
canter for stale second-rate horses. But last year and this
the race has possessed an unusual interest. This has
aris©n partly from the unusual number of good horses
engaged, and partly from the activity during the recess
of many well-known sportsmen, who; by continuous
agitation and an unflagging attendance at country
meetings, have worked upon and prepared the public
mind to witness a struggle which will eclipse all
fOrmer effort,. Thera has also been shown a sincere
desire on the part of the new Stewards to cater more
effectually and liberally than their predecessors for the
amusement cf the public, and thus secure a larger share of
patronage than they have hitherto possessed. We hope
they will not take it amiss if we venture, while admitting
the improvement which has been made lately in the Ladies'
Stand, to suggest the employment of a few more police to
prevent honourable sportsmen's feelings being shocked by
the coarse language which has been lately indulged in by
some members of the Ring who ought to know better.
The following are among the probable starters : _ .

" Bob."—This horse was made a great favourite last
year, and he well deserved it. He is a clever horse, with a
short, quick action, but has never shown himself able to
stay, though often getting a chance. He ran a very good
horse on Monday, but as he ran the course the wrong way,
he has.no chance of success.

" Carnarvon"—a most promising colt, but now unfortu--
nately quite out of the running. The turn at the upper
end 'of the course were too many and too sharp for au
animal whose cnly fault is that he is a little too upright,
and wants elasticity in his pastern joints. His brilliant
trial in the Colonial Stakes showed what might be ex-
pected of him if ever he is found in better company.

" General reel" and " Cranborne" are both scratched.
The course did not quite suit either of these horses. The
,former is, perhaps, a little slow, and the latter occasionally
shows temper, and it is better for his stable companions
that he should bo out of the way when they go round the
sharp turn known as Hodgkinson's.
"The Compound Householder," after going through an
almost • incredible amount of work, suddenly, to the
astonishment of all the touts, trainers, and other pro-
fessionahi, burst a blood-vessel on Friday, when taking one
of his three-day-a-week gallops. The horse was consider-
ably relieved, and we believe the public will share in this
feeling. The result may be that he will bleed freely
before any great race, but he will probably stand prepara-
tion for an ordinary contest with as much equanimity as
formerly. His party, meantime, are said to have lost by
not hedging their money before his accident was made
known.

" The Lodger," whose breeding appears to be doubtful,
is well in.

"Duality," by "Faint Hopes," out of " Ignorance,"
and a two-year-old colt by " Checketring," out of "Resi-
dence," never had any chance, and are now scratched.
"South Lancashire," as our readers know, is a magnifi-
cent horse, with the finest action of any in training. But
we do not think he will win this race, as his shoulders,
though strong, are not sloped enough for such an uneven
course, and the extra weight which he carries is apt to be
displaced when going up hill. He was slightly galled
by cannoning against a horse called "Defiance" in the
race before Easter, which was won by "Seceder," out of
" Tea Room," half brother to " Adullamite ;" but we are
glad to hear he has since quite recovered.
" Walpole" we never thought much of since he was re-
ported to have shown signs of cataract in his near eye after
his accident against the Hyde-park railings at the July
meeting.
" The Erle King" was backed some time ago for a place,
but we do not advise our readers to put any faith in him
