BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

MARCH OF QUACKERY.
A man attired in a blue jacket and trousers, with a belt
round his body, in which were a brace of pistols and a cutlass,
was brought before Mr. MINSHULL, the Magistrate, charged
under the following circumstances :

The accused has, for several days past, paraded the Strand,
and other public thoroughfares in the metropolis, dressed as
above described, with the addition of a printed bill in his hat,
upon which was inscribed in large letters, " Preventive
Service." His singular, and to all appearance, dangerous
aspect, caused crowds to follow him, and at intervals he halted,
and declared that he could cure the cholera morbus, or any other
morbus in a short space of time, provided the purchasers of a cer.
Lain preventive attended to his instructions. A description of his
person was communicated to the police station by an individual
who described him to be a dangerous man to be at large, and
this morning he was observed by one of the corps in the Strand,
surrounded by a vast crowd. He was consequently apprehended,
and when brought before the Magistrate, was asked who and
what lie was. Previous to which, however, he was deprived of
his pistols and cutlass, lest he should commence hostilities
against the Bench. On inspection, the pistols turned out
to be two pieces of wood with till locks, similar to childrens'
toys, and his cutlass was made of the same material.
The production of the weapons caused much amusement.
The defendant declared he did not intend to do the slightest
mischief. He had unfortunately become poor, and was till
lately allowed five shillings per week by the parish of St. Mar-
tins-in-the-Fields, but was some short time since recommended
to a quack doctor, who gave him two shillings a day to pro-
pagate his nostrums, and the better to gull the public, he dressed
him in the uniform he then appeared in.
Mr. MINSHULL good humouredly told him to go home and
give the toys to some children, and never be found again in the
streets under similar circumstances.

The defendant having thanked the Magistrate retired.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

The premises were crowded during the whole of yesterday
afternoon, the sale of Mr. Maberly's racing stud having col-
lected together a large number of sporting men of every grade.
On the termination of the sale the betting became pretty brisk.
Beiram and Spencer were alternately first on the list, and odds
were more than once laid on each of them at the close Beiram
had half a point the best of the betting. The Pastille colt was
reported lame--and, as a matter of course, is gone for both
Stakes. Emiliana is still on the decline for the Oaks, but very
little is done on this Stakes. We subjoin the closing prices :
