GRAND DEAL.

The Royal Artillery, the Royal Academy, and Bartholo-
mew's, went away together prettily, and the two first having
left their opponent a trifle astern, a very plucky race fol.
lowed, the Artillery having the first place, and keeping, to
our view of the matter, a better course than their opponents.
Within half a mile of the winning post the Royal Artillery"
made a pretty spurt, and won by two lengths.

guineas. Distance as before. In one heat.
Messrs. Dalgleish and Julius—Red 1
Messrs. Bumpstead and Jeffries—Light Blue
Messrs. Lewen and Brown—Green 3
Messrs. Kennedy and Ronayne--Purple
A fine start was effected, when, after about fifty rapid
strokes, Red and Light Blue became abreast of each other, at
a trifling distance in advance of their opponents, and Purple,
who were apprehentive of fouling Green, eased slightly, and
were unable through Out the race to recover it. Red rowed
away in gallant style, and came in two or three lengths
ahead of the secoad pair, but outside the buoys. It was at
first expected that this would be disputed in consequence of
that circumstance, but no objection was made, nor could there
well be.

PENSIONS TO POLICE CONSTABLES. Yesterday,
orders were read to the constables at the various police-sta-
tions, in which the Commissioners had granted a pension of
351. a year for life to Henry Leutchford, 87 L, for injuries re-
ceived in apprehending three desperate burglars. Our readers
may recollect the circumstances, that about a year ago three
desperate housebreakers entered the Old Red Lion, at the
foot of the Surrey side of Westminster-bridge. Leutchford
was stationed at the rear of the house, when he detained two
of the burglars, who were making their escape. One of them
knocked him down, when the other took a knife from his
pocket, and forced the point under his right eye, and drew it
across his nose, nearly severing it from his head. Other
constables coming up at the time saved his life. He lay in a
dangerous state for some months ; when he recovered, he went
to Wales at the time of the disturbances, and the injuries he
had received, the Commissioners have considered, render him
entitled to the above pension. Annetts, 106 L, also bad a
pension of 201. a year, for injuries received in the force. Both
men have been about nine years in the force.

CHILD MURDER. AT LAMBETH.—Yesterday Mr.
Carter held an inquest at the Lambeth workhouse on the
body of a newly-born female child, alleged to be the illegiti-
mate offspring, of Faith Bowerman, aged eighteen, now a
patient in the infirmary of the above workhouse. Short par-
ticulars of this case have already appeared in this journaL
James Moodv, a lad, said that on Monday morning he was
going into kr. Patrick's timber yard in the Belvedere-road,
when he saw the body of deceased lying on the left hand side
of the gate. The body was covered with blood, and showed
signs of life by moving the hands and lips. He informed
some neighbours and ran for a policeman. Sergeant Colli-
son, 12 L, said that from information given him by the last
witness, he went to the shop of Mr. Carruthers, a surgeon..
in the York-road, and saw the child being washed and sur-
gically attended to. It was in a dying condition, had its
back much bruised, and the skull over the left ear beaten in
by violence. He afterwards took the child, still alive, to the
workhouse, and on his return he took Faith Bowerman into
custody. She lodged in a house separated by a ten foot wall
from Mr. Patrick's yard. She was very ill and was taken to
the workhouse on suspicion of being the mother and mur-
derer of the deceased child. Elizabeth Lee, one of the nurses
of the workhouse, deposed to the reception of the child and
to its deatbk shortly afterwards. The Coroner said, that on
account of information he had receive d that the girl Bower-
man had made certain statements which might be used in
evidence against her, he thought it just that she should be
present to hear those statement repeated, and would there-
fore adjourn the inquiry fer three weeks, to enable her to re-
cover and appear Wore him.
