LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING--TUESDAY.

The Liverpool Grand National week is one of the most
interesting to the generality of the public in the racing
calendor, and with the amalgamation this year of the Grand
Military with the Spring Meeting at Aintree, additional
interest was attached to it, and a fourth day added to the
programme. Although there was a "meeting" at the Albion
on Mon-lay night, very little speculation took place upor
the great race of Wednesday, aid the only feature of the
evening was the scratching of Columbia, which took place
at 4.55 the same afternoon. A good many of the specula-
tors had not arrived, having delayed the journey until to-
day, but those who were present had no opprtun:ty of
plying their vocation, and scarcely a but was laid. This
morning was fine, but at Aintree there was a cold biting
wind, which datracted somewhat from the pleasure of the
day's sport. The various events do not call for any par-
ticular remark beyond the following details :
The Annual Hurdle Handicap of 5 soya each, 2 ft (to the
fund), with 50 added ; winner of any race after Fob. 2

hurdles, immediately ou landing over which Charlemagne
took up the running, and led passing the stand, having for
his attendants Balham, Tennyson, Fortunatus, and Maid
of Perth, Gazza Ladra heading Yarrow, Pearl Diver, and
Helen, Messmato bringing up the rear. Rounding the
back stretch Charlemagne increased his lead, no change
taking place in the respective positions of the remainder,
ezcept that Yarrow joined Messmate in the rear. Passing
the White House Charlemagne still led, followed by Gazza
Ladra, next to whom, side by side, were Fortunatus and
Tennyson, Helen being slightly in their rear, while at a
wide interval came Pearl Diver, who appeared to take his
hurdles badly. The others were beaten off. As they
were coming to the straight Charlemagne was headed by
Fortunatus, Helen, and Tennyson, the three Blearing the
hurdles almost abreast, and although Helen swerved a
good deal she won easily by a couple of lengths ; a similar
distance separated second and third ; Charlemagne was

lent start, Ashtead, on the rails, showing in advance of
Clifton and Sedella, Substance lying wide of her horses on
the right. After going about 150 yards, Carlos drew
slightly in advance, Maude Neville being in difficulties be-
fore half the distance had been traversed. It was ap-
parent, however, from the commencement of the en-
closure that the race was a match between the three

ALLEGED MURDER OF A WIFE.—At the Clerken-
well Police Court, yesterday, Henry George Snel-
ling, aged 57, who described himself as a printer, residing
at 13, Verulmam-street, Gray's-inn-road, was charged with
being drunk and causing the death of his wife, by beating
her on the head with stones, and thereby fracturing her
skull. The principal evidence affecting the case was that
of Charles Francis Hawkins, nine years old, son of the
prisoner's landlord. /le said—On Saturday, a little before
my mother came home, I saw Mrs. Snelling coming down-
stairs, and she fell to the bottom. She did not scream or
say a word. She was drunk. I went up and told the pri-
soner, who was on the second-floor stairs. He came down,
picked her up by Iho shoulders, and knocked her head on
the'stones. Ho did it wilfully ;he was drunk. lam quite
certain that I saw him strike her head three or four times
on the stone. I saw tho prisoner's wife iu the yard about
three o'clock, and she was then sober. My reason for say-
ing she was drunk was because I had heard that she had
been at the Goat public house drinking gin. The prisoner
denied that his wife was drunk, or that she was oven the
worse for liquor. It was also shown that the boy's mother
and a lodger carried the poor woman upstairs. Police-
constable 182 G deposed that about half-past nine on Sa-
turday night he was sent for to the prisoner's lodging.
When he got there he went up to the second floor front
room, and saw the prisoner sitting on the side of the bed,
and his wife lying upon it apparently dead. Witness sent
for a dootor, who came, and after examining the woman
said she had been dead some time. The prisoner was
drunk. Mr. Cooke remanded the prisoner for a week, and
directed that the medical man should be in attendance at
the next examination.

Mr. Forceythe Wilson, who was among the
most promising of the young American poets who
have recently made
,their appearance—of wh9sc
pocmi " The Old Sergeant" was probably the most
popular—died at Alfred centre, New York, on the
2d inst.
