TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—Of Major Yarburgie's two dark, or next to dark animals, I
think Red Robin to be decidedlyithe beat, being by Gladiator, out of
Brandy Snap, by Muley Moloch, a parentage which no one can
say anything against. He is a strong, well.made, muscular brute,
rather fine drawn, can beat Little Joh❑ easily, giving him 10Ibs.,
and can likewise beat the famous Miss Sarah a length, giving her
71bs. His qualities are not to be sneered at, for he will most pro.
bably start and read his opponents a severe lesson on Wednesday
next. Little John will not start, or if he should, will not win,
which amounts to the same thing in the end.

Miss Sarah—the public's first favourite—by Gladiator, out of
Easter, by Brutandorf, was raised to that enviable position by
merit, not by money, on the strength of her running at York,
where she beat Miss Elis easily for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and
nearly distanced Annandale, since which period she has been
backed to win a very large stakes. lam inclined to place great
faith in Miss Sarah, and expect to see her or Red Robin one of the
first three.

The Pacha I have never seen, but I understand upon good
authority that he is a smart animal, and that he will beat more
than beat him.

Chertsey, June, and Miss Whip colt will not do at any price.
The once-famed Scott's lot does not look very awful this year.
The winter pet of last year, Kedger, is, I believe, looking and going
well, but after the awful exhibition he has made, I cannot bring
myself to believe that he has the shadow of a chance.
The Baron, by Birdcatcher, out of Echidna, by Economist, on
Irish ground ran very well—in fact, first rate; yet what a brute
he proved to be at Liverpool. Certainly there is one thing to be
said in his favour, he was not in very splendid condition at the
ime, but even with Scott for his trainer, I do not think he will
massage to get placed, much less win. _
The Connaught Ranger is—at least, so says rumour—very queer,
and not expected to be a starter.
There has been some noise about Fitaallen lately, but I imagine
it will all end in puff.
Duc-an-Durras, a son of Birdcatcher, out of Brandy Bet, at his
present odds is well worth backing, being a regular flyer. Lord
Miltewn has great hopes of winning with him.
Ould Ireland, by Young Blacklock or Magpie, out of Miss Bang-
up, by Whalebone, is a splendid colt, a complete flyer ; and of the
Irish lot I should say decidedly the best ; his running at Chester,
taking into consideration that he was out of trim, was superlative.
Ile ran well for the Cup, and beat Semiseria in a mile course. Mr.
Irwin's colours will be in a very prominent position, for this smart
colt is certain to finish in front.

I now come to the last animal of any consequence among the
starters, and he is the stout, muscular, and swift son of Picaroon,
to wit, Pantasa, out of Acanthus, by Teniers. This first-rate spe-
cimen of horse flesh has not an equal among the three-year-olds,
excepting Sweetmeat ; his pace is tremendous, strength prodigious,
and his action beautiful. His race at Liverpool was a false one,
for he was not at that time quite up to the mark, otherwise he
would have won by a length or two. His running as a two-year-
old was very respectable ; in short, pick out a fault if you can.
His master's colour (yellow) will carry an enormous amount of the
metal of that colour; I should say,ot a rough guess, about 50,0001.
is the sum that will have to be paid should he win.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

LONDON SESSIONS.
(Sittings at Guildhall.)
(Before the RECORDER, LORD MAYOR, and Aldermen.)
The grand jury having been sworn, the RECORDER shortly ad-
dressed them.
Thomas Rawlinson, Henry Porcas, 17, William Coffee, 16, and
Henry Key, 16, were indicted for unlawfully assaulting Henry
Thompson, on the !itli of September instant, in the West Kent Union.
_ _

The defendants all pleaded Not Guilty.
Mr. I'RENDERGAST stated the case, from which it appeared that
the defendants had been inmates of the West London Union, and the
complainant was the master. It would appear that one of the
rules of the union was, that all the inmates who were in good
health should rise at six o'clock in the morning, and be ready for
breakfast at about twenty minutes past six o'clock. The defendants
would not get up, although they were told that the breakfast would
be put away. They went down a little before seven, when they in-
sisted on having their meal. Rawlinson said if they did not they
would have a row. Rawlinson then struck the complainant a vio-
lent blow on the month with:his fist. Porcas threw a large tin can,
which struck him on the temple, inflicting a wound, and struck him
afterwards on the shoulder such a violent blow that he had been
disabled ever since. Key and Coffee also took some cans and struck
him several times. There were at least three dozen mugs and cans
broken by being flung at the complainant, who had suffered most
grievously front bodily injuries. The board of guardians had con-
sidered it a case which they were bound to take before the magis-
trates, who directed the present prosecution.
Witnesses'were then called, who fully bore out the statement.
The defendants respectively- denied the extent of the violence used,
and said they had themselves been violently assaulted by the master
and yard keeper.
All the defendants were found Guilty,
The RECORDER made inquiries and found that the whole of the
prisoners had been in prison six or seven times for various offences.
Alderman FAREBROTILER—About food—they say they only have
four ounces of bread.
Mr. Thompson said they had 12 ounces a day, with seven ounces
of meat three days a week, soup three days, and pudding four days,
besides other things.
The RECORDER said that the prisoners had been found guilty of a
most violent and outrageous assault. It was a case in which the
magistrates had acted very properly in sending it to a public Court,
where defence, if any, might be substantiated ; the Court felt
bound to mark its sense of the case, and sentenced Rawlinson to
three months' imprisonment with hard labour, and to enter into re-
cognizance in 40/. to keep the peace for three years ; Porcas three
months ; and Coffee and Key, two months' imprisonment each.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.

A crowd of young women (about ten in number) were charged
with being disorderly and creating a disturbance in the Strand.
Policeman F 55 said that be found the prisoners laughing, shouting,
and dancing, in the Strand, at about one o'clock that morning. He
told them to be quiet, and to go away, but they only replied by using
obscene language, and telling him if he took one of them he must take
them all. He took one of them, the most disorderly, in custody, when
the others followed him to the station. The girl he took to the station
gave her name as Eliza Clark.
The levity of the prisoners while in the dock was most disgraceful.
All the efforts of the officer acting as gaoler to maintain order were
unavailing.
Policeman F 142 said that one of the prisoners, who gave her
name as Elizabeth Davis, had said at the station that she had been
in service in Tottenham-court-road, and that she had robbed her
master and ran away.
The inspector said that a shopkeeper in Tottenham-court-road had
beat robbed by a servant, whose name was Jane Davis.
The prisoner said that that was her real name.
Mr. TWYFORD desired that this prisoner. should be put back, in
order that inquiries might be made by the police concerning the
robbery.
The prisoners declined making any defence at all.
Mr. TWYFORD said that as the conduct of the prisoner Clark ap-
peared to have been the most disorderly, he should sentence her to—
Here the worthy magistrate was interrupted by a general exclama-
tion of "Oh no, Sir, she wasn't ; we were all alike, and she was no
worse than the rest of us."
Mr. TWYFORD said, that as none of them appeared to have been
particularly criminal, and as in the case of each this was admitted
to be the first offence, he should let them off this time, reminding
them, however, that they were known at the office, and that this
would weigh against them on any future occasion. They were ac-
cordingly discharged, except the prisoner Davis, who was detained
upon the other charge.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Henry Scrivener, a young man of respectable appearance, was
charged- with assaulting police-constable No. 37, of the E division,
in the execution of his duty.
The complainant stated that about half-past one o'clock this morn-
ing he saw the defendant looking about Great Portland-street, Port-
land-place, and on requesting him to " move on" he refused, alleging
that he lived in the neighbourhood. Witness was at length obliged
to take him into custody, on which he struck him a violent blow on
the mouth, severely cutting his
The defendant said that he lived in the neighbourhood, and con-
ceived that he had a right to walk about the public streets as long as
he pleased without the police interfering with him. He solemnly
denied striking the policeman : he had only put out his hand to
keep him off on his seizing him Oho defendant) by the collar, which
he did in a very rough and insulting manner.
Mr. Ilaanwicx said it must go forth to the public that the police
were nut to be resisted in the execution of their duty, they had a
discretionary power in the execution of it, and any misconduct on
their part the Police Commissioners and the magistrates had ample
power to punish. It could not be tolerated that a party, because he
chose to imagine that a police-constable was acting wrong, was di-
rectly to take the law in his own hands and knock the officer down.
The defendant was then ordered to pay a fine of 20e. or ten days'
imprisonment.
