BROCKLESBY HUNT STEEPLE-CHASE—MO JAY.
This event took place on Monday, and although the club
has suffered by law proceedings, and consequently the amount
given was small in comparison with the now great stakes of
the day, the name of the Brocklesby Hunt Race carried its
weight with it, and there appeared to exist the same ambition
to bear away the palm of that race as when the club was in
its zenith ; mainly, perhaps, on account of its being the nur-
sery of some of the best steeple race-horses in the world,
amongst others, Gay Lad, Peter Simple, and Croxby. The
betting before starting was 2 to 1 against Newcastle Tommy,
3to 1 against La Bat, and 3to 1 against The Miller. The
race was for

comfort and convenience of sportsmen and all connected
with the Turf. Adjoining are refreshment-rooms, the sup-
plying of which will be entrusted to a respectable and com-
petent hotel or innkeeper. The races will take place on the

throw the protection of gocial reiped, iii dclitibh to
the sacredness of legal around the powers
of judgeA and magistrates. We abstract from one
short letter the following catalogue of horrors :
" Mr. Sheppard, late of England, committed suicide
at Saco, Maine, a few days ago. Mrs. Loring French
also committed suicide at the same place, on the sank
day. Mr. Edward O'Connor, late of Ireland, counsellor-
at-law, destroyed himself at Boston, on Monday night.
Monsieur Messemer, player on the cornet-a-piston, from
France, was assassinated at Mobile on the Ist inst., but
is expected to recover from his wounds. Judge Turley,
of Nashville, has been caned by Major Turner, for offer-
ing an insult to a lady; and Mr. Maxsey, Mayor of Nash-
ville, has been caned by Mr. Payne. Mr. R. Polhemus was
murdered near Freehold, New Jersey, on Friday, and a
neighbour of the deceased, Mr. W. Reed, has been ar-
rested on suspicion. Mr. Leech, believed to be from
England, was killed in a quarrel with Messrs. Lawson
and M'Leod, at New Orleans, on the 23d ult."

Texas, it would seem, is learning betimes to emu-
late the " go-a-head " intensity of moral passion
which pervades the model Republic she is so desirous
of joining:—
" At Caddo, Texas, on the 10th ult., Judge Hansford
was barbarously murdered by Mr. Moseley and his son-
in-law, because his judicial view of a law suit was ad-
verse to their interests."

Accounts have been received from Stockholm to the
24th ult., when the KING remained in nearly the same
state. The bulletin of the 23d is as follows :—" His
MAJESTY has again begun to express a desire for
some nourishment, and feels himself rather stronger,
after a very good night. The affection of the foot is
better, as there is an appearance of suppuration."
The Hamburgh papers announce the arrival of the
Stockholm mail of the 27th, but without any account
whatever of the KING'S health.

According to Madrid papers of the Ist instant,
the QUEEN-DOWAGER was to arrive at Barcelona on
the 2d, where she would remain till the sth, then
embark for Valencia, and reach Aranjuez on Tues-
day next. These papers furnish no intelligence from
Alicant or Carthagena.

Most of the Paris papers give long reports of the
trial and conviction of the Abbe COMBALOT at the
Paris assizes, for a libel on the University of France,
in a pamphlet entitled " Memoir addressed to the
Bishops of France and fathers of families, on the war
made against the Church and the community by the
monopolist University." The prosecution, which
was instituted at the instance of the Minister of Public
Instruction, was conducted by the Procureur-General,
and excited much interest. The jury, after delibe-
rating for more than an hour, returned a verdict of
guilty, and the Court sentenced the Abbe to impri-
sonment for fifteen days and a fine of 4,000 francs.
(1601.) This is a significant proof that the middle
classes have no sympathy with those Jesuitical
Churchmen, who have been carrying on a war against
the public schools of France, and using every means
to recoverdominion over the minds of the people. The
Ministry have had another triumph in the Chamber of
Deputies. On Thursday the Committees for examin-
ing the Secret Service Money Bill were appointed,
and out of nine Commissioners eight belonged to the
Ministerial party. The funds continued firm, the
Three per Cents. closing on Thursday at 82f. 50c.
and the Fives, without the Coupons, at 122 f. 40c.

THE QUEEN v. Hcitt.=----Jiidgirierft having been prayed
upon the defendant this session, he Witg ordered to • appear
in Court this morning, for the purpose of receiOlik The
defendant is at present a prisoner in the Queefi'S
Prison, under a sentence recently passed upon him in the
Court of Queen's Bench, for a libel upon the Duke of Brims-
wick. He was now brought up, in custody, from that
Prison, and placed at the traverser's bar of this Court.
Holt had been found guilty on Monday last, at these ses-
sions, on an indictment preferred against him for a libel
upon Lord William Paget. The libellous matter complained
of had reference to the recent Paget and Cardigan
affair, and asserted that the prosecutor in that case had made
" a plant" upon Lord Cardigan for the purpose of extorting
money from him—in other words that he was guilty of the
two-fold crimes of conniving at his own and his wife's dis-
honour, and of trying by these unmanly means to obtain a
sum of money from the Noble Earl by way of compromise.
After an ineffectual effort on the part of the defendant to
have judgment deferred until next session, the Learned Re-
corder sentenced him to be imprisoned for four calendar
months in the gaol of Newgate—such sentence to date and
to commence from the period at which his present sentence of
twelve months in the Queen's Prison shall have expired.
The defendant was then removed in custody.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Richard Day, an architect, was charged under the sub-
joined circumstances:—
On the preceding night, at a late hour, the prisoner was
seen in Blackfriars-road in the company of a woman, who was
in a helpless state of intoxication. He was observed to take
a cardinal cape off her shoulders, and, when questioned on
the subject, he pretended to be acquainted with the female, and
said that lie was helping her home. It turned out,
however, that he was quite a stranger to her, and threatened
that if he had a knife he would rip up the policeman's guts.
He was taken to the station-house. When brought before
the Magistrate he gave a very vague account of himself,
said that he was a married man, and that his wife Whig 9.b-
-sent he was going to take the drunken woman to his house
for protection.
Mr. CorrusoitAm said that instead of inflicting a fine on
the defendant lie should commit him for seven days to the
House of Correction, and that when he came out he must find
bail for his good behaviour.

CLERKENWELL_(THIS DAY.)
A man named Jones, was charged with an assault "of a very
violent and unprovoked character, on the person of Mr. Night-
ingale, a lodging-house keeper, in Saffron-hill.
Mr. Nightingale was sitting quietly in his parlour on the
previous night, when he heard a great noise in front of the
house ; he ran out, but had not advanced more than a few
paces into his own passage, when he was met by the prisoner,
who struck him a violent blow on the face. He had never
seen the prisoner before, and had not given him the least
provocation. His face was greatly swollen from the blow.
He cried out " police," and a constable came to his assistance.
The prisoner was in liquor.
Police-constable Ware confirmed Mr. Nightingale's testi-
mony, and added that the prisoner's language, when in cus-
tody, was of a most violent and disgusting character.
Waddington, the jailor, said the prisoner was a coster-
monger, and fellow of very bad character.
Mr. GREE:ktwoon-said the assault was violent, and altoge-
ther unprovoked. He would fine the prisoner 30s. •
Prisoner—l have not a farthing.
Mr. GREENwooD—Then you must go to the House of
Correction for a month.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
Wm. Coltman, sen., and Wm. Coltman, jun., were charged
before Mr. Bond with assaulting Mr. Lucy, a tradesman re-
siding in Bermondsey, under the following circumstances :
The complainant stated that he was passing along Mil-
bank yesterday, when he observed sonic boys washing a cart
in the river, and swearing because they could not get it out
of a hole. He remonstrated with them on the impropriety
of their conduct, and, in return, they asked him what busi-
ness it was of his to meddle with them? The younger de-
fendant threw a large stone at him, which struck him on the
arm, and caused him considerable pain. Shortly afterwards
the boy's father came up, and struck him on the head.
The younger defendant stated that the complainant struck
him first. His father said he did not strike the complainant.
Fined 30s. each.
Polly Smith, a prostitute, was charged by John Dixon, a
ragged individual, whose professional pursuit appeared to be
that of a dustman.

He stated, in a voluminous and classical address to the
determinedday

and the remainder, which he limited to 3/. 155., he purposed
devoting to the purchase of a horse, being convinced tkat
for that sum he could procure a " hanimal' suitable to be
the companion of his perambulations for dust. On Thursday
night he met the defendant, whom he had known for many
years as a respectable woman, but who has been several times
charged at this office with offences of a similar nature to the
one we are now detailing. He accompanied her to her
" apartments," and remained with her feasting on roast pork,
for which he appeared to have a passion, and drinking, until
his 5/. was reduced to 1/. 155., which he charged the de-
fendant with stealing from his coat pocket. He admitted
that he was drunk, or nearly so, at the time, and the Magis-
trate dismissed the case, telling the defendant to be careful in
her conduct for the future.
