SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN.—John
Smith Phillips, aged 52 years, labourer, of No.
144, High-street, Poplar, was charged before Mr.
Paget, with violently assaulting Samuel Pea, a
police-constable, No. 454 K.

The prisoner was drunk and making a disturb-
ance in a house in Poplar, and the constable was
called upon to remove him, which he did, and led
him a few paces from the house, when the prisoner
suddenly turned round upon hiin and struck him a
tremendous blow on the mouth with his clenched
fist.

The prisoner was sentenced to one months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.

NIGIITWORK.—.Tom Moore spoke truly when he
said that the best of all ways to lengthen our days is to
steal a few hours from the night. Only we must steal
for a good purpose, not for pleasure or dissipation, else
we are losers instead of gainers by the theft. Moderate
night- work does no hurt to bodily or mental health,
but rather the contrary, I fancy, and I speak from ex-
perience. Note how well, and to what old age, nocturnal
toilers and watchers retain their strength and faculties.
Look at astronomers, whom in our mind's eye we
always regard as snowy-locked, yet •igorous-minded,
strong-framed men. And are they not, as a rule ? Re-
member Galileo, living to seventy-eight, Hevelius watch-
ing till he was seventy-six, and Copernicus till he
reached seventy. Take our English astronomers royal,
too. There was Flamsteed, who, in spite of a disordered
body, toiled by night and by day, harder, as he
said, than a corn-thrasher, and yet reached seventy-
three ; Bradley, who did as much night- watching,
ran out the allotted period of three-score and ten years; and
his successor, Maskelyne, told four score all but one year.
Then call to mind grand old Herschel, whose daily labours
and night watchings lasted so long, and were performed so
well that he may be said to have done the work of three
lives, and he reached the good ago of eighty-four. And have
we not his son, a giant in science, who stole hour after hour
from the starry nights of his youth, and gives us now spark-
ling essays and sound lessons fraught with the experience
which seventy-six years have gathered to his garner ?
Lastly, learn that Maedlor, who is now seventy-four,
came to the British Association Meeting a few weeks
back, and told the silvans something that proved
his eye—after an operation for cataract—and his intel-
lect to be as good as they were, when, thirty years
ago, he made his noble map of the moon, a work
that must have involved night watchipg enough to send
an ordinary eight-hour sleeper into an everlasting doze.
Whoso wishes to rob the night to the bast advantage, let
him sleep for two or three hours, then get up and work
for two hours, and then sleep out the balance of the night.
During this ho will not feel the loss of the sleep he has
surrendered.—Once a Week.

BEcxliAmPToN.—On Wednesday, after the team had
cantered twice, Stradbroke, Janet Rawcliffe, and Hunts-
man went a nice gallop, the first-named going in his usual
style. Thursday.—Stradbroke galloped two miles and a
half by himself, going fast all the way. Formosa was still
taking things quietly. Eudora, Minna Troil, and Black
Flag were doing some good work, and they appear to me
to be wanted shortly—perhaps at Newmarket in the next
meeting.

KINGSCLERE.—On Wednesday, The Palmer, Xi, and
Nyl Gau cantered steadily up the hollow, followed at an
interval by Satyr, Green Sleeve, Bltie Gown, Siderolite,
Pero Gomez, and King Cophetua, who afterwards repeated
the performance. Some long walking exercise was then
done, when King Cophetua, Pero Gomez, and Sider°lite
galloped three-quarters of a mile. Green Sleeve and
Satyr galloped together a mile and a half. 1 have not
seen Green do so good a gallon for months. Blue (iowu
took his regular two-mile-and-a-half gallop in rare form
led by The Palmer the first mile and a q carter and by
Vabalathus the remaining distance. Thursday.— The
Palmer, Xi, Nyl Gau, and Vabalathus joined the yearlingi,
doing one steady canter up the hollow. Satyr led Blue
Gown, Pero Gomez, and Green Sleeve two steady canters
of a mile each time. King Cophetua and Siderolite can-
tered up the hollow. Satyr then led King Cophetua,
Pero Gomez, and Siderolite a rattling gallop of a mile,
King Cophetua going very well indeed. Green Sleeve
galloped at a nice steady pace a mile and a half by herself,
going freely, and pulling up sound. Blue Gown and The
Palmer, without their hoods, were then sent a fast mile
and a quarter gallop, when Vabalathus stripped and joined
them, taking Blue Gown the remaining distance of two
miles and a half. Blue Gown passed Vabalathus in the
last 50 yards easily, pulling up sound and well. I think
him certain to run a great horse in the Cesarowitch, for
weight is really of no consequence to animals like him.
NEWMARKET.—Hermit goes on regularly with his work,
but I hardly believe he can have any chance over the
Cosarewitch distance with his heavy weight. Friponnier,
who had been looking and going as well as any horse in
England, has been put out of the race. This horse has
galloped two miles a day at least four times a week, and
would have been as ripe as a cherry by the day. Good-
wood goes some long steady gallops, but does not stride
out so well as I should like. Knight Errant I don't be-
lieve can get over this distance, even with his impost.
He is, however, sound and well, and has done regular
good work. Tormentor, from all appearances, would re-
quire a longer time to get fit. Tho mare now does plenty
of good work daily. Restitution has been out twice this
week, but beyond his two races he has not done much.
I shall look well to him, but don't think his chance at all
improved by beating the lot he did here this week, for See
Saw Is by no moans a first-class stayer. St. Ronan is
amiss, and will, I should think, not run. Nemea, Ne-
lusko, and Gondolier I will notice fully in my next. Suf-
folk, a very sound, useful sort of animal, goes his two miles
and a half gallop on the Limekilns daily. In my opinion
ho is sure to beat his stable companion. Blueskin has of
late been only doing long slow canters, but from the
length of time this horse has been in training a little rest
will no doubt do him good. Ho commeneed to do better
work on Tuesday last, and has continued to do so since.
I like his chance, for he is as sound as a boll, and we know
he can stay any distance.

STocxsniDGE.—On Wednesday, Logarithm, Equerry,
Cock of the Walk, Red Rice, Lady Elizabeth, Scottish
Queen, and Crucifixion filly, from Danebury, cantered
about three-quarters of a mile. Blucher, Beata, Minnie
Warren, and Lady Dupplin were trotting about with 13
yearlings. Tom Day had out Mr. Briggs, Boaster, Lady
Raglan, and all cantered—then Logarithm led Equerry,
Mr. Briggs, Lady Raglan, and Hippodamia filly about a
mile and three-quarters. Thursday—The same lots were
out again from both places, but only Cock of the Walk,
Scottish Queen, and the Crucifixion filly cantered of the
Danebury lot. Tom Day cantered and galloped Mr.
Briggs, Lady Raglan, and the Hippodamia filly. Haynes
galloped Duchess a mile and a half, and Miriam about a
mile and a quarter, and both went well. Friday—Tom
Day was out with Mr. Briggs, Lady Raglan, and the Hip-
podamia filly, and all cantered and galloped and went in
as soon as they could, as it was raining nearly all the time.
LAMBOURNE.—On Tuesday, Knight was on White Horse
Hill, and Child of the Islands led Kingsland a canter of
something like three-quarters of a mile. After walking
for some time, Lochiel led him two canters of a little over
three-quarters of a mile, and Blairbuie led the Neville colt
and Scottish Rose three canters. Curfew Bell led Kings-
land one mile, when Lady Ruse joined in, and led him the
remainder of the distance—two miles and a half. The
Russley horses were on their own downs doing steady
work. Bates's, on the Farringdon-road downs, were doing
steady work, and Saxon's, on Weathercock Hill, got
through some good work. Wednesday—The Russley lot
went over to White Horse Hill. Jolly Tar led the
Marsyas, St. Mungo, Miss Croft, the Lady Lurewell
filly, Morgan la Faye filly, and the Rambling Katie
filly a canter of about three-quarters of a mile. Phoebus
and Cawdor cantered the same distance. Miss Hayes
and Sunstroke only walked. Wetherell cantered Lady
Diana, Rahab, and Defender twice briskly. Child
of the Islands led Kingsland two canters, after
which they had a good gallop of over two
miles. I must say that Kiugsland goes in rare good form,
and if ho should have the luck to come fit and well to the
post, and everything is square about him, ho will take
some beating for the Cesarowitch. I am sorry to say that
Child of the Islands pulled up very lame after his gallop
with Kingsland. Thursday—The same lot came out from
Russley as on the previous day.
HEDNESFORD.—I have not seen any programme of
Leicester or Bedford, but at Sutton Park, in the Birming-
ham Autumn Handicap, wo have Barnabo, Success, East
Lancashire, Susan, Life Guardsman, Edinburgh, and Fro-

licsome. These are all well. We have Ettrick iu the Sut-
ton Cup, but I have not seen him since Manchester. In the
Nursery we have Knight of the Elms, Masquer, Dalwhin-
nio, Kernel, and Vermicelli, who are all fit. Life Guardsman
is in the Aston Welter Cup, but he would be better for a
little more time. Hurdle Race—Lord Bagot, Stanton, and
Susan are in. The first-named broke down badly at Wal-
sall. Stanton is doing well, but Susan will require a little
more practice. Our Cesarewitch horse, Ilium, is doing
good work, led by Kidderminster. Ye; Torch, Peg
Woffington, Barnabo, colt by Colonist, colt by Tadmor,
and Ottoman are doing good mile work. Stanton, Mig-
nonette, Whinyard, Cawnpore, Beaudesert, and Rescue
are taking steady work. East Lancashire has been doing
strong work. Sidedrum, Arran, and the Sharpshooter
filly are going slow canters. Master Thomas is dead, and
Gordian Knot has broken down.

MALTON.—Things are very slick hero at present, as
most of our trainers are busy with their yearlings, of
which I consider we have a nice lot. T. I'Anson has
Consternation engaged in the Middle Park Plate, and no
horse can be doing batter than he is. 1 would advise
your readers to stand him to win and a place. The fol-
lowing are in strong work to meet their engagements :
Colt by Cramond, Queen of York, George Osbaldeston,
Lady Zatland, Lapidist dam filly, My Lord, Tolson .d'Or,
Merry and Wise, Royal Oak, Barna Bimbo, and Thunder.
R. Peck has taken possession of Spring Cottage, with a
string of seven yearlings and Lyttleton, and is in expec-
tation of six more yearlings.
FIFIELD —Safety, engaged in the Cesarowitch and Cam-
bridgeshire, I don't think has any chance. Boanerges, in
the latter race, is doing some good work of a mile and a
half, led by Skipjack, both going well. Should his owner
back him, I think he will run well.
LEWES. —At Bedford we have Choral in the Bedford-
shire Stakes, but I should think she will not run, as she
has other engagements at Newmarket. Southill Stakes.
—Lietor and Elmira are in, and of the two I think Lictor
the best. Elstow Stakes.—lcicle and Watteau are in, and
I think the first-named is very fairly in, and will be near
winning, as ho is in good form just now.
Ersom.—On Wednesday Beeswing did her work on
Six-mile Hill. She came out with Skirmish and Monitress
about five o'clock, and after following Skirmish two gentle
canters, Monitress led her a good half-speed gallop of two
miles, and no animal could go in better form. She pulled
up fresh and well. Cecil had done his work and gone in
even before this early hour. Aurifera also went a fare
gallop of two miles. Thursday.—Otho led Cecil a nice
gallop of two miles. This horse is going on as well as his
best friends can wish, and I think I scarcely ever saw a
horse take a longer stride than he does. Beeswing went
to Leatherhead, as did Kr. Hughes's lot, all looking in the
pink of condition, especially Planet and Redcap. Aurifera
again did a nice gallop.
