Pantomime.

The start was delayed by several breakinge away, and
the disinclination of the rider of Maid of Darwent to go
near his horses.. Gulliver led to the mile post, where he
disappeared from the front and rapidly dropped into the
rear ; Mongrel, who had been lying t,rward, then took
up the running, and on entering thestraight Rogerthorpe
became second, and Bashi Bazouk, who was fifth on
rounding the turn, began to draw to the front. Half
way up the distance he headed Rogerthorpe, challenge.]
Mongrel opposite the stand, and won by half a length,
three-quarters of a length separating the second from
the third. About two le, gths behind Rogerthorpe were
Newton-le-Willows fourth, and Janet fifth ; at a wide
interval behind them came Th. Chicken sixth, and Queen
Bess seventh. Grey Pyrrhus, 4amlet, and Pantomime
were the next three. The grey never emerged from the
ruck,
and Moose was outpaced from start to finish.
When Withington, the rider of Bashi Bazouk, re-
turned to " weigh in," Mr. Osborne, the trainer of
Mongrel, requested the clerk of the scales to see if the
lad was over weight. The clerk, however, refused to put
the 21bs-in the re.iale, and, amidst a scene of much noise '
and confusion, allowed Withington to pass. An appeal
was subsequently made to Admiral Runs, who desired
that Withington should again get into the scale. This
desire was immediately complied with, and Withington
cauld scarcely draw Ilb over his proper weight. The
" Mongrd. party" were then satisfied, and the matter
ended lay-the Admiral's informing the clerk of theecales
that it was his bounden duty to respect. the wishes of the
owner of any horse in the race.

TRANSPORTS. —LIvERP OL, Thursday.—An Australian
firm here has tendered a couple of large clippers to the
Government for the conveyance of troops lodia, on
the understanding that they will forfeit 5001. per diem
every day they exceed the steam transports on the
voyage. Toe best mode of conveying
troops has been
much canvassed here, and among those persons competent
to judge the opinion is.general that if full power screw
steamships are obtainable they ought to be employed ;
but, in the absence of these, clipper ships should be
chartered in preference to small power steamers, which

to custodyth,,officers, He asked
when, just
before reaching tbe bottom, he suddenly drew a razor
across his throat with such violence as nearly to sever
the bead from the body, and died before medical aid
could be obtained. •
SINOIDE.—A determined act of suicide was committed
Artetday morning by Mr. George Jones, proprietor
Of the Three Tuna tavern, Great New-street, Fetter-
lane. The deceased, who was a single man, had in his
employ two barrnaids and a potman. Observing with
surprise their master's non-appearance at his accustomed
time that morning, a search was made, and the u, fortu-
nate man was discovered hanging over a tank, quite
dead, and half his body in water. The tank was used
to supply the closets with water, and being on a level
with the first floor some difficulty must have' been expe
rienced in reaching it. The deceased was conversing
rationally up till nearly 12 on Wednesday night, and no
reasonable motive suggests itself as to the cause of the

suicide.
DEATH FROM DRINKING GIN.--Mr. W. Payne hell
an inquest on the body of Charles D. Applebee, a child
four years of age. From the evidence of the mother
of the chill, it appeared that on Sunday morning, at an
some-
thing wet falling on her face. She sat up in bed, and
early hour, she was awakened from her sleep by
saw the deceased with a glass in his band, and he ap-
peared like a person intoxicated. See asked him what
he was doing, and he said be was giving George (his
brother) some gin. She immediately sent for a doctor,
who gave him an emetic, and then advised that he should
be sent to the hospital. The other child was vary bad.
They were both removed to the hospital at 10 o'clock,
and at two the deceased expired. The mother had sent
for 6d. worth of gin on the Saturday night and put it
into a cupboard, and the deceased by means of a chair
must have got at it whilst she was asleep. When found
the bottle was quite empty. Verdict, accidental death.
