EARLY WOODCOC KS. —A cloud of woodcocks must
have just passed over Cornwall, judging from the number
of communications we have received testifying to wood-
cocks having been shot here or there. The first of which
we have record this autumn, however, was shot by Mr.
N. Kendall, M.P., near St. Austell, as long ago as the sth

CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE SEINE.—This champion-
ship was contested for on Sunday afternoon, between the
Pont de la Concorde and the Pont d'lena, under the
auspices of the Sport Nautique de la Seine Society. A
great number of persons assembled to witness the race, for
which, however, there were only four competitors entered.
The length of the course was about three-qaarters of a
mile. A good start was effected, but it was soon evident
that the race was in the hands of Mr. Gesling, who gained
ground at every stroke, coming in a winner at
.his own
pace. Mr. Gesling is a young Englishman, who has
already carried off numerous first-class prizes at the French
regattas during the season, and, at this time, in addition to
the honour of the championship of the Seine, he wins a
handsome gold medal and a work of art.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A DRUNKEN DRlVER.—Christian Black, a pork butcher,
carrying on business at Deptford, was charged before Mr.
Alderman Finnis under the following circumstances:—

City-constable 736 said that yesterday about one o'clock
he was on duty in King William-street, and saw the pri-
soner driving a horse and cut in the direction of
Loudon-bridge, and he was at the wrong side of
the road. The cart came in contact with an
omnibus horse, and the shaft entered the horse's breast and
came out at the shoulder. The horse was taken to a
veterinary surgeon, but he believed it was dead. As the
prisoner seemed quite drunk, he took him into custody,
and he was bailed out about half-past six in the afternoon.
He seemed to be quite unconscious of what had occurred.
The proprietor of the omnibus said he valued it at £2O,
and on being informed that the court had not the power
to award more than £lO in a case of loss or damage, he
decided on bringing an action in the County Court.
The prisoner admitted that he was drunk, but said he
was not so far gone as not to be able to take care of the
horse, and that the accident occurred through the slippery
state of the street.

The prisoner was fined 405., which he paid.
ROBBERY BY A FOREIGNER.—Auguste Due; a German,
was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a
portmanteau containing different articles of clothing, the
property of Victor Mahner, a Swiss.
From the evidence it appeared that Mahner and thirteen
other men, who had just arrived from America, went to an
hotel in the Crescent, Minories, bringing their luggage
with them. The portmanteau was placed in the hall, and
on the prisoner, who had been staying
in the house, leav-
ing about an hour after Mahner's arrival, it was missed.
Mahner, who was going to France, declined to prosecute,
but the proprietor of the hotel gave the prisoner into cus-
tody. The prisoner was traced to a lodging-house, kept
by a person named Seers, in slip-alley, Wellclose-square,
where the prisoner had been lodging,
and the portmanteau
was found there. The prisoner was taken into custody at
a public-house on the Bth inst., but he denied any know-
ledge of the portmanteau.
Another charge was preferred against the prisoner this
day of having stolen a pair of gold ear-rings and other
articles from the lodging-house of Seers.
The prisoner was remanded.

NEWMARKET.

This morning we had a large number of horses in real
good work, and amongst them several Cambridgeshire
nags. Ostregor was leading Actrea a mile and a half, and
Broomielaw was galloping a like distance with Out-and-
Outer, Vespasian, and Mineral, the Scheldt and Breadal-
bane doing very little. Saladin and Jollity had a mile and
three-quarters gallop; and Charley Blanton was working
the Duke of York and Harefield freely, Tormen-
tor being quiet. Peeress sweated. The American
string wore in active training, and Paris was
going uncommonly well. Peon's legs are very
" dickey." II Re Galantuomo showed temper. The
Squire galloped about two miles. Regalia worked by her-
self, as usual, and Caithness took Chepstow a mile and a
half at a clipping pace, the latter pulling hard all the way.
Mount Palatine did rather better than a mile, and Cotton
gave Robin Hood half a mile further than that. The senior
Hayhoe sent Dalesman, Guinivere, and Tomahawk a mile
and three-quarters, and they moved beautifully. Green
was exercising Medina, and Nash paying attention to Clax-
ton. Jennings was bowling Sultan, Fleurette, and Puebla
for a mile and a half, and Roland galloped nearly a couple
of miles in the presence of his owner and trainer Charley Ray-
ner, whom we were pleased to find convalescent. Lightning
and Countersign were doing literally nothing ; but young
Hayhoe gave Ambition a rattling mile and a half gallop.
The principal two year olds at work this morning included
the Hermit, D'Estournel, The Rake, Knight of the Garter,
Stradbroke, Dragon, Friponnier, Pericles, Cerf Volante,
and Trocadero ; but of these D'Estournel and The Rake
exercised the least, the others doing about a mile each. We
also saw the following animals getting forward :—Lochaber
Pedagogue, Stolen Kisses, Satyr, Imporator, Sunnylocks
Star of India, Bombastes, Jasper, Jaunts Julius, Falken-
stein, Littleport, and Court Card.

deceased lady was born in 1826, and married in 1850 Mr.
NI, in. Ince Anderton.

Admiralty orders were received on Saturday by.
Mr. Ladd, master shipwright at Woolwich, to com-
mence to-day the removal of the upper deck of her
Majesty's ship Repulse, with a view to her being
converted to an ironcased frigate, after Mr. Read's
newly-adopted system. The Repulse was intended
to carry 81 guns armament, to be of 3,716 tons,
and to have engines of 800 horse power. She has
been lying in an unfinished state upwards of four
years. Nevertheless, her timbers, which are par-
tially of Indian teak, arc said to be as sound as
when laid down.

MURDER OR, SUICIDE IN NORFOLK.

A dreadful incident was revealed at Postwick,
Norfolk, on Sunday. It appears that Mr. Robin-
-8°13) an upholsterer, of Pottergate-street, Nor-
wich, went down to the Great Eastern Railway
Station with his wife at a ver y early hour on
Saturday for the purpose of taking leave of
°lle of their children. On quitting the rail-
way station Mr. Robinson seems to have hur-
riedly left his wife, and he was not seen any more
11Y any of his relatives and friends during Satur-
day. About 11 o'clock on Sunday the dead body
0f a man was found iu a field at Postwick, a village
about four miles from Norwich. The corpse was
'Sting in a little hollow, so that it was not readily
seen, and when it was discovered it was quite cold
and stiff. There were some dreadful wounds at the
back of the head, which appeared to have been in-
flicted by a large flint stone, which was found close
by, and which was covered with blood. Various
Parts of the body were also smeared with blood, but
the clothes of the deceased do not appear to have
been torn, and 3s. 6d. was found in his pockets. It
Was at first supposed that a barbarous murder had
been committed, and great excitement prevailed in
consequence in the neighbourhood.
The intelligence of the occurrence seems to have
been thus received at the parish church, the result
being that at the conclusion of the morning service
dearly the whole of the congregation proceeded to
the spot where the body had been discovered.
In the course of the day Mr. Athill, deputy chief-
Constable of the Norfolk county police, went down
tcithe village and made minute inquiries into the
elreumstances. While he was proceeding with the
,Itivestigatio it transpired that a communication
had been man de about the missing man, and a person
kalne forward and identified the corpse as that of
'lr. Robinson. A few articles found upon the de-
ceased were also shown to Mrs. Robinson, who was
Much affected by them, at once identifying them as
having belonged to her husband.
-A. medical gentleman who was called in to examine
e wounds of the deceased expressed an opinion
that they might have been self-inflicted, so that the
general conclusion now adopted is that the poor
tlati perished by his own hand. It is stated that he
ad for some time past been in a desponding state
cif inind, although there appears to have been no
cause for his depression of spirits.
Airs. Robinson believes that when her husband
left her on Saturday morning he had not his watch
With him, and that he had only a few shillings in
418 pockets.

The
quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On
c°')Paring these rates with the English Mint price of £..
1;
ab. loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
OM the same price in London and Paris.

ORDER O 1 SUICIDE IN NORFOLK

Norfolk,
dreadful incident was revealed at Postwick,
'orfolk, on Sunday. It appears that Mr. Robin-
aoll,• an upholsterer, of Pottergate-street, Nor-
.ichi went down to the Great Eastern Railway
L'ation with his wife at a ver y early hour on
'aturday for the purpose of taking leave of
116 of their children. On quitting the rail-
,.°
1,4 Y station Mr. Robinson seems to have hur-
I :edly left his wife, and he was not seen any more
any of his relatives and friends during Satur-
Y. c 4 About 11 o'clock on Sunday the dead body
-`a Man was found in a field at Postwick, a village
about four miles from NOrwich. The corpse was
filitlg in a little hollow, so that it was not readily
et', and when it was discovered it was quite cold
fland stiff. There were some dreadful wounds at the
ick of the head, which appeared to have been in-
betecl by a large flint stone, which was found clOse
Y.) and which was covered with blood. Various
harts of the body were also smeared with blood, but
bge clothes of the deceased do not appear to have
:ell torn, and 3s. 6d. was found in his pockets. It
beaa at first supposed that a barbarous murder had
,oeti Committed, and great excitement prevailed in
t'sequence in the neighbourhood.
belle intelligence of the occurrence seems to have
a? 4 thus received at the parish church, the result
Itig that at the conclusion of the morning service
the the whole of the congregation proceeded to
e,lBPot where the body had been discovered.
coin the course of the day Mr. Athill, deputy chief-
to listable of the Norfolk county police, went down
ei the village and made minute inquiries into the
flitenmstances. While he was proceeding with the
h,v,estigation it transpired that a communication
;tci been made about the missing man, and a person
iirtle forward and identified the corpse as that of
tea: Robinson. A few articles found upon the de-
)ll,,ecl 'were also shown to Mrs. Robinson, who was
1144e.b affected by them, at once identifying them as
1:41g belonged to her husband.
the tnedical gentleman who was called in to examine
thatlv°unds of the deceased expressed an opinion
they might have been self-inflicted, so that the
t,laleral conclusion now adopted is that the poor
h ti
Perished by his own hand. It is stated that he
ad
Of for some time past been in a desponding state
cauttlilld, although there appears to have been no
:re for his depression of spirits.
1 f 'rB. Robinson believes that when her husband
fit t her on Saturday morning he had not his watch
hia him, and that he had only a few shillings in
Pockets.
