CARCASSONNE RACES.—Nov. 18.

Carcassone is situated in the Department d'Audo, in the
south of France, being distant by rail from Toulouse about
three hours, and about the same distance from Beziers,
from which place several horses which had previously run
there waited to try their luck at this the last meeting of the
season in France. The race-course was the Champ de
Manoeuvre, the ground usually used for the troops to exer-
cise on, which was all ploughed up and arranged by the
soldiers, and was in good going order. The turns were
rather sharp, and the distance round was not quite one
mile. The princilal race was the Prix de la Cit 6, which
Grande Dame, with the top weight, won cleverly, and
thus recompensed her owner for his bad luck at Beziers,
where this mare fell, owing to the dreadful state of
the ground. Mr. Carter has since been offered
1,000 sous. for Grande Dane, which offer has been re-
fused. A Military Steeplechase, for horses the property of
officers quartered in Carcassonne, concluded the day's sport,
and the race committee have every reason to b 3 satisfied
with the results of their first meeting, which gave general
satisfaction. Full particulars are appended below:— 0 _

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.

(Before the Common Sorjeant.

William Henry Taylor, a rospoctably-dressed man, was
indicted with stealing a quantity of kid gloves, the pro-
perty of John Derby Allcroft ; and Simeon Duck, French
polisher, was also indicted for feloniously recoiling the
same, well knowing them to have been stolen.

The detective officer, Bull, said that he went to the shop
of Taylor, Little St. Andrew-street, Seven Dials, on the
3rd Oct., and from certain information he had received he
asked the prisoner whether he had either given or sold
some gloves to a person named Taylor. Taylor said
that ho had, and in answer to other questions he said
that ho had purchased them of a man whom ho had
mot at a public-house in Long Acre, that ho had given
£lO for them, and produced a receipt signed by a person
named Turnbull for that amount. lie (the officer) put
further questions to him when he said ho had them from
a man named Duck, whom he had known for years. Duck
afterwards was sent for, and on his being questioned ho
said ho had sold the gloves to Taylor, and that ho had
them from a man whom ho occasionally- met at the Sun
public-house in Gate-street, Lincoln-inn-fields, who asked
him to sell them for £lO. He said the man told him he
was enabled to sell them cheap as he had got a quantity of
goods which he never intended to pay He asked him to
give a description of the man of whom he had bought
them, bat the police had not been able to meet with any
such person.

The defence set up that the gloves were not a portion
of those stolen from Mosare. Dont, Aleroft, and 00., and
that the defendants came into possession of them in an
open and honest manner.

The case was not concluded when we went to pro,.
