PAUL JONES AND STRA.DBROKE

will be first and second.
For the Dee Stakes Uncas ha 3 not much to fear
in See Stw, and the best of his other opponents
being such as Co.:k of the Walk, Black Diamond,
Idalia, lielvelyn, Macsalwch, his Derby backers
need not fear that he will be. defeated.

The Two Year 011 Plate, five furlong; being
worth 200 soy; there should be plenty to oppose
Palmitine, King of the Rover; and Perfume, the
best that have been out yet, although it will be dial-
Cult to tinl one capable of beating both the first-.
named, King of the Rovers having no penalty.

The la ,t day's handicaps are scarcely worth looking
at, all we can observe being that Knight of the
Garter looks threatening for the City Plate, as does
his party for the Steward's' Cup, with Blinkhoolie to
help them. But neither may show at Chester and
then Fervacques or Dalby will have to win the
latter event.

The Badminton Stakes, the last affair requiring
our attention, is also subject to what may previously
transpire, our present fancy being for Perfume and
King of the Robbers.

BARBAROUS ATTEMPT TO MURDER IN
THE CITY.

Intelligence was received to-day at the Man-
sion House that a barbarous attempt at murder
had been made in the City last night, and
Mr. Gore, the assistant clerk to the Lord
Mayor, was forthwith sent to Guy's Hospital
to take the declaration of the victim; who
was alleged by the house surgeon there to be
dying. The circumstances, so far as they have yet
been elicited, appear to have been somewhat similar
to those of the Canon-street murder. The un-
fortunate woman is named Manus, and sho was
the housekeeper at a hour .-3 in Catherine-
court, Seething-lane. The outrage was committed
abort nine o'clock last night, and by two men
who were concealed on the premises of which she
had charge. The house in which it took place is in
the immediate neighbourhopd of the Seething-lane
Police-station. Catherine-court is composed of
what were private residences of a superior kind,
but which are now let out as merchants' offices, and
runs into Tower-hill. The outrage has naturally
produced a great sensation in the immediate neigh-
bourhood.

711 E MURDER AT DOVER.
DOVER, Saturday Morning.
This morning the prisoner was brought up for
examination before the magistrates charged with
the murder of Mr. Edward Alfred Walsh. From
the evidence it appeared that Wells has been
employed at the Priory station for about 18 months,
but his conduct had not given satisfaction, and Mr.
Walsh found it necessary- on several occasions to re-
primand him. His particular misconduct—which
led to such a murderous act of revenge—was prac-
tising with a firearm on the station premises. He
denied that he bad done so in a very barefaced manner,
and was cautioned by the deceased as to the public con-
sequences of his persisting in a foolish denial, which
only aggravated the original offence. This was on
Thursday, and on Friday he was again called into
the office, but as he exhibited no signs of a desire to
admit his misconduct and express regret, Mr. Walsh
threatened to report him. On Thursday Wells
had been heard to threaten to "do for
the —" (meaning the station master), and
after the interview on Friday he appears to have
gone and fetched his gun from the place where
he bad been practising, and then returned to the
station master's °thee. He looked in at the window,
saw that Mr. Walsh was in the office, then went to
the half-opened door, raised the gun to his shoulder,
and fired at Mr. Walsh. That unfortunate gentle-
man, at this moment, was standing with his back to
the fireplace, dictating to Mr. H. Cox, the company's
customs and goods agent, who sat at the office table,
a letter to Mr. Martin, the superintendent of the
Eastern Division of the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway line, reporting the misconduct of
the porter in questi6n. The office is a very small
room, and at the time it was fired the muzzle of
the gun could not haw been more than a
couple of yards from the person at whom it was
directed. Its aiea was only too sure. The bullet,
of what is called the Minie shape, struck Mr.
Walsh in the face, a little to the left of the brkid. ge
of the nose, and passed through the head, st
the wall beyond, taking
tiling on to the
skull of the deceased, and then reboui h
