NOTES

FROM
TRAINING DISTRICTS.

(T lIIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET.

Our training grounds are in splendid order now, and
most of the Cesarowitcn and Cambridgeshire horses are
rattling along in beautiful style. King Charming and Il
Re Galautuomo went a mile and three-quarters ; Breeze
and Lothario galloped over two miles, the former steadily
and the latter fast. Jollity has bQen beaten in her trial.
Nu and Medina continue in• long work. Peon and Paris
galloped a mile and a quarter. Emigrant went a mile and
three-quarters. Eakring has broken down. The Duke of
York had a rattling mile and a half spin. Saccharometer,
Sultan, Out-and-Outer, and Broomielaw are doing a
mile and half work, fast. Guinivore, Tomahawk,
and Ambition are doing first class ; and Gladiateur
appears to be going on in his old form. Sealskin was can-
tering only. Affidavit is expected here from France in the
course of a day or two, and excellent accounts are given of
his Cambridgshire chance. Oberon, Mazurka, Dr. Syntax,
Miss Harriette, Black Prince, and others engaged this week
are in good form. Claxton is doing well. Julius, The
Rake, Hermit, Knight of the Garter, Hippia, Chapel Royal,
Fridry, &c., continue to do first-class. Fitzroy is worth
a trifling investment for the Derby. Nothing can beat
Achievement for the Middle Park Plate, except it be
Plaudit, who is fresher than Lord Lyon's sister, and of
superior class.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Joseph Bartley, fl young man,
living at No. 21, Oxendon-street, Haymarket, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with cutting and wounding a man
named James Johnson with a knife, with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. James Byrne, breeches-maker, of No. 24, Sherwood-
street, said—Last night, about 11 o'clock, I saw a crowd at
the top of the Haymarket, and on going up found that it
was caused by a fight between the prisoner and another
man. I saw the prisoner, M: hile lying on the top of the
other man, strike him three distinct times on the head. 1
called to the bystanders to take the prisoner off, and when
he was taken away' front the other man the latter called
out, "I'm robbed." The prisoner ran away, but was taken
by the police.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Waa tho other man wounded ?
Witness. - Oh, yes-sir ;he received several wound; and
is in the Charing-cross Hospital. I saw the prisOner strike
the man three times while on the ground, and when he
went away I followed him, being determined not to let
him escape.
Mr. Tyrwhitt.—You acted very well in the matter.
Benjamin Jeffery, 325 A.—Seeing a crowd collected at
the tor of the Haymarket last night I went up and found
a man named Johnson with blood running from wounds
on his head. I took Johnson to the Charing Cross Hospital
when it was found that he had seven ,distinct wounds on
Ms head, and the prisoner was taken into custody. The
constable handed the magistrate a certificate signed by the
house surgeon of the Charing-cross Hospital, stating that
Johnson was unable to leave in consequence of the injuries
ho had received.

The prisoner said he went out to go to church, but
instead of doing so wont to see a friend, and afterwards
met the friend, and a quarrel took place between them and
they got fighting.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner.

FRAUD ON WORKHOUSE AUTHORITIES.—Ann Smith was
charged with obtaining an order for admission to the
workhouse of St. George's, Hanover-square, Mount-street,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

Thomas Gib alm•ivate in the Fusilier Guards, was
• placed at the bar chatgod with stealing a watch.
From the evidence of police-constable Picton, 101 F, it
appeared that the prosecutor and the prisoner were seen
together last night in the Strand, and afterwards to go
down Buckingham-street, with their arms round each
others neck. Shortly after he again mot the prosecutor,
and seeing that he was very drunk, he pointed out to him
that his watch-guard was hanging loose, and then he
found out that his watch had been taken, upon which the
soldier ran away. He was pursued and eventually
taken into custody in Chandos-street. A witness named
Perry said ho was standing at the corner of Buckingham-
street, last night, and saw the soldier running away pur-
sued by two persons. He observed him stoop down and
put something on the ground, after which he (witness)
went to the spot and found the watch, which tho prosecu-
tor identified as his property.
The soldier said he was not the person who had stolen
the watch; that he had not been in the prosecutor's com-
pany at all last evening; and that the whole thing was a
mistake as far as he was concerned. The prosecutor had
been walking about and treating three soldiers, but ho was
not one of them.

Mr. Flowers said the evidence was quite sufficient for
him to send the matter for trial at the sessions.

The prisoner was Committed for trial.

Francis Knight and Mary Brennan were charged with
having in their posisession two valuable oil paintings,
which had been stolen from Mr. Thomas Warren, picture-
dealer, of Broker's-alley.
The prosecutor said about three weeks ago, after he had
securely fastened up his shop and retired to bed, ho heard
a loud noise. On getting up he found the shutters had
been forced open and seven paintings stolen. Two of the
paintings had been found in the possession of the pri-
soners, and the only explanation they could give was that
they had been left at their lodgings by a person for safety.
The prisoners were remanded for further inquiry.

Royal Literary Fund.

The annual general meeting of this corporation
took place yesterday at their chambers, Adelphi-
terrace, for the purpose of electing officers and
transacting other business. Among those present
were Earl Stanhope, the president; Lord Houghton,
Anthony Trollope, Esq., Rev. Charles Merivale,
RD., chaplain of the House of Commons, Dr.
Roget, Messrs. Gruneisen, Butterworth, Godwin,
&c. Earl Stanhope presided.
The minutes of the previous meeting having been
read and confirmed,
The TREASURER'S report was read, from which it
appeared that the permanent fund, which at the
date of the last report amounted to £25,500, had
produced in dividends during the past year the sum
of £765. Since the payment of the July dividend
the sum of £3OO stock had been purchased. The,
permanent fund, therefore, now amounts to
£25,800, producing an annual dividend of £774.
The stock of the Newton property consists of
£8,167 15s. 10d., in the Three per Cents. Reduced,
producing an annual dividend of £245.05. Bd. The
Newton estate at Whitechapel had produced during
the year the sum of £203 in rents.
By the deaths of Viscount Palmerston, Professor
Whewell, and others, vacancies had occurred in the
executive, which the meeting was recommended to
fill up. The grants to authors during the year
amounted to £1,682; of these there were 28 males,
24 females, and 13 widows.
The report was received.
On the motion of the noble PRESIDENT, votes of
thanks were successively and unanimously passed to
the registrars, treasurers, and auditors.
Major Gruneisen and Mr. Butterworth were then
appointed scrutineers to examine the votes for the
new officers. As there was no opposition to the
names proposed by the committee, their labours did
not occupy two minutes, and the new list was una-
nimously adopted.
Thanks were then voted to the three honorary
officers of the corporation, accompanied with a re-
quest that they would continue their valuable ser-
vices. Thanks were also given to the secretary and
scrutineers.

The CHAIRMAN then said that no duty remained
for him on this occasion except to announce that they
might look forward with confidence to a successful
anniversary dinner. The services of Lord Houghton
had been secured as chairman. The dinner would
take place on the 2d of May next, and on that occa-
sion he believed the long-established credit of the
society would be well maintained.
On the motion of Mr. TROLLOPE, seconded by
Mr. GODWIN, the thanks of the meeting were unani-
mously accorded to the noble president.
The CHAIRMAN thanked the meeting, and ex-
pressed a hope that as long as he was connected with
the society he would enjoy their esteem and regard.
The proceedings then terminated.

MONMOUTHSHIRE-TUESDAY.

At the various markets the attendance of farmer°,
millers, and dealers continued good, and there was a toler-
able supply of wheat. Home-grown sold well, at full:,
prices, and there was a slight improvement in the dennn'
for secondary sorts and foreign. Barley moved off brisklY'
and prices both for grinding and malting were maintain°d. •
The inquiries for beans were rather limited, and the sup'
ply fell short of last week's; no alteration in prices. Tile
oat trade ruled dull.
The following are the average quotations:—Wheat, red!
5s 6d to 5s 9d per bushel ; inferior ditto, 5s 3d to ss. '
Via'
white, 5s 9d to 6s ; malting barley, 32s to 36s per qr • grin
ing ditto, 24s to 295; beans, 44s ; white oats, 24s 6cl to 20;
black ditto, 23s 6d to 245.

LYNN—TUESDAY.
The weather during the past week has been cold an,
unsettled, with strong north-east winds. At to-dos''
market the attendance was moderate, and there was but
small show of wheat ; the trade ruled steady, at last Tali
day's prices. The supply of malting barley was that
and prices were again in favour of sellers; grinding sot
is per qr dearer. Beans and oats firm.
New wheat, 46s to 48s ; new red, 42s to 44s ; old Whi,t(3l
51s to 52s •, old red, 46s to 48s per 36 stone. Barley '0"
malting, 37s to 40s ; secondary, 33s to 355. Oats, neliV2
24s to 26s per 24 stone. Beans, small, 43s to 46s ; large'
34s to 40s per 28 stone.

NEWCAS T LE—TUESDAY.
At our market to-day there was a good supply of vi'llf°
from the growers, but a small coasting and moderate foreie.
arrivals. A dull business was experienced, and lower
prices had to be submitted to. Malting barley had a fit
sale, at full prices. Grinding was from 6d to is dew'ef:
Malt was firm. Beans and peas were unchanged. Oa'
moved off at fully previous terms.

Haukey, and Mr. Morley, to render legal marriage

marriage or to the celebration thereof, or to the
validity of any licence or certificate under which the
same may have been celebrated.
"2. Provided always, that nothing herein con-
tained shall render valid any marriage with the sis-
ter of a deceased wife where either of the parties has
afterwards, during the life of the other, and before
the passing of this act, lawfully intermarried with
any other person.
"3. Provided also, that this act, so far as it re-
lates to any marriage with the sister of a deceased
wife contracted before the passing of this act, shall
not invalidate or affect any right to any dignity or
title of honour, or any estate, right, title, or interest,

chattels, or effects, vested in any person before the
passing of this act, or any contingent estate or in-
terest, legal or equitable, in any lands, heredita-

ceased wife's sister contracted in Scotland after the

FLORA IN PARIS.

Few things strike the Englishman, travelling in
France for the first time, so forcibly as the absence
of cottage gardens. One may journey for hours in
almost any direction in France without seeing a
single thatch or door covered with roses, honey-
suckles, or clematis, like those which line the road
almost everywhere in Old England. In the towns,
large and small, and even in many villages, it is
almost the same. With few exceptions, the houses
stand by coldly, closely to the edge of the footpath,
without gardens, without even a foot of ground to
call their own, without a fore-court or anything
else to fence them, as it were, from the public way ;
and if any object breaks the dull monotony of their
hard stone walls, it is generally only a single climb-
ing plant, such as a glycine, a rose, or, more cpua-
monly than either, a vine. And yet, in spite of
this apparent neglect of the most charming deco-
ration in the world, France is a land of flowers, and
they flourish there with a luxuriance, and develope
perfunies which are only to be found in our island
in the most favoured spots.
The environs of Paris are about as devoid of
flower gardens as the country towns ; walk out of
the capital by the Arc de Triomphe, by the barrier
of Vincennes, by any road you please, and a cot-
tage standing in its own garden and glorying in its
own flowers, is as rare as an oasis in the desert.
The reason for this is generally obvious ; there are
no houses and no cottages, or but few ; all the world
lives in apartments in barrack-like buildings, which
in the case of the poorer portion of the population
resembles barracks less as regards cleanliness and
wholesomeness than in anything else.

But Paris itself is redolent of flowers. The flower
markets are amongst the sights of the French capi-
tal ; by the side of the beautiful classic Madeleine, on
the quays near the Palais de Justice, and by the
old Morgue—now rebuilt on another site—on the
Boulevards and elsewhere, Flora pours out her
`stores once, twice, or thrice a week with luxurious
profusion, and he must be poor, indeed, who cannot

but in size ; but as it is especially the duty of the
gentleman to provide his fair friends with flowers,
