DONCASTER RACES.

RACECOURSE, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, 4 O'CLOCK.

awls,

The " Great St. Leger," after a series of fluctuations, mys-
tifications, and scratchings almost without parallel, has
at length been brought to an issue, but under circum-
stances that sadly lessened its attractions to those whose
interest in it lacked the impulse of speculation. We al-

luded to • a change of weather in our last ; it became
more decided as the night7advancod, and the promise of
the morning was wretchedly unfavourable ; the rain fell
steadily, and the prospects of the " grand day" were of the
gloomiest description. This, beyond doubt, had an effect upon
the attendance; still those already on the spot, and vast num-
bers who came by the night train from London, York, Liver-
pool, Manchester, Birmingham, and other distant places, and
the: thousands at Sheffield, whom no weather can daunt,
were not to be disappointed, and the streets, long before
midday, were almost blocked up. Of equipages of a higher
class the display was far from " imposing," unless we take

the word with the signification attached by those who may be
ancient enough to remember the golden days of the turf there
were several unpretending carriages and pair, and a few
" fours," but of " display," in its true meaning, the less said
the better. However, this and the badness of the weather
until midday, may have detracted from the " grandness" of
the day, it by no means warrants an inference of failure or
flatness ; on the contrary, the assemblage was immense, re-
minding us of Doncaster in its palmy days, and it must have
gratified those who have been so active in purging the turf
from its impurities, and making it again worthy of patronage
and support from the higher classes, that the proportion of
the aristocracy of both sexes exhibited a very large increase.
Anything like a perfect list of the visitors is out of the ques-
tion ; we can now only make a selection, reserving a more
comprehensive " Court Circular" for a future day:--
His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
Lords—Spencer, Glasgow, Chesterfield, Strafford, Euston,
Edward Russell, George Bentinck, Maidstone, Glammis, John

S. L. Fox, &c.

Business recommenced -between ten and eleven o'clock
this morning, and in_the midst of an almost impenetrable
crowd was kept up with "more cry than wool" for a
couple of hours. The most important item in the proceed-
ings was a declaration by Mr. Gully that Old England would
not start. This was a thunderbolt to those who but ten
minutes before had invested at 15 and 16 to 1. It was also
stated that Red Robin would not ran, but no official an-
nouncement was made. The prices of the favourites varied
in some particulars from those last quoted. Miss Sarah was
backed at 9to 4, Mentor at 9to 2, Weatherbit at 6 and 7
to 1 (plenty of layers), Pantasa at 10 to 1, The Baron at 12
to 1, The Pasha at 10 to 1, Annandale at 12 to% Duc-an-
Durras at 1,000 to 30, and Fitzallan at 25 to 1.

By one o'clock the room was closed, and the scene shifted
to the race-course. Fortunately the weather had now
cleared up, and, to the delight of the thousands congre-
gated on the ground, has been fine up to the closing of our
express.

The Municipal and Selling Stakes got over, the bell rang
for saddling for the only event that possessed any interest—
the St. Leger.

The Municipal and Selling Stakes got over, the bell rang
for saddling for the only event that possessed any interest—
the St. Leger—and shortly after three o'clock the horses
having taken their preliminary canters, were paraded to the
post, and started by Lord George Bentinck. Time will not
permit us to give more than the result—the details must
stand ever.

The horses were started by Lord George Bentinck (the
jockies having previously drawn lots for stations), and after
being paraded up the course to the end of the rails and back
to the post, were got off in beautiful order at the first at-
tempt. After the first fifty yards Twig took a lead of several
lengths, and with Chertsey and Pantasa in his wake, and
Miss Sarah, The Pacha, and Weatherbit laid up with the
latter, made running at a tremendous pace to the mile-post;
here his followers closed with him, and before he reached the
Red House he was beaten. Chertsey, Pantasa, Miss Sarah,
The Pacha, and The Baron went on in a cluster into the
straight course, where Chertsey gave way, and The Baron
took a slight lead, and increasing it up the distance he reached
the chair a gallant and very clever winner by a length ; Miss
Sarah beating Pantasa by half a length. The Pacha was
fourth, and Mentor and Weatherbit fifth and sixth.

There are not any arrivals of the least importance an-
nounced in the City this morning.
The half-yearly General Court of the Proprietors of Bank
Stock, held this morning, was of some interest, but rather
thinly attended. The usual dividend was announced, though
some of the Pproprietors thought it ought to be higher. The
project, some time in embryo, of establishing a Branch of the
Bank of England at the West-end of the town, was casually,
and we may say rather guardedly referred to. The subject
still remains for the decision of the Court of Directors. The
Governor (Mr. B. Heath) was most explicit as to the details
of the affairs of the Corporation, and certainly most satisfac-
tory they were ; as, after paying the half-year's dividend,
which will take' 494,5091. odd, the balance of undivided pro-
fits amounted, on the 31st August last, to 3,094,371.115. 4d.
The income-tax, amounting to 14,8241. 3s. 4c1., is included
in the same sum as the balance, or rest. And,
after all deductions on account of both items,
there was added to the rest a sum of 15,363/. 14s. Bd. Well,
indeed, may the Proprietors be thankful for such good ma-
nagement, especially as our old friend Mr. Clark quaintly
observed, considering the low rate of interest that money has
borne for a long time past. It will be seen that the market
value of Bank Stock has been fully supported to-day. The
Branch Banks of the Corporation are paying very well.
Not much business was transacted in the Consol market
this morning. For the Account the quotations are flat, and
at 98% and 98A, and for Money at 98% 5 ; for Long An-
nuities, from 11 to 11% ' • and for Exchequer-bills, from 465.
to 48s. premium. Bank Stock for the Account has been done
at 213%, and India Bonds at 625. premium.
The only prices for the Foreign Stock to-day have been in
Old Danish, at 90 ; in Mexican Deferred, at 17% 1 ; in
Spanish,lat;27%; in the Three per Cents., at 38% ;in
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 10%; in the Dutch
Two-and-a. Half per Cents., at 61; and in tho Four per
Cents., at 98%. The markets look rather heavy.
The Railway Share Market has not been very animated
to-day, but business to a good extent has been effected. The
settlement can scarcely be said to be entirely over yet, such
is the amount of speculation and of real business that has
been entered upon. The principal alterations have been a
slight fall in Birmingham and Oxford Junction—in Bristol
and Exeter from 85 to 83—a rise in Goole and Doncaster to
6.. The Great Westerns have receded from 170 to 163, the
Half Shares from 96 to 92%; the London and Birmingham
opened at 222%, and are now 221; the Midlands are lower,
so are the Newcastle and Darlington Junction. The Great
Northern'of France are firm at 3 premium,Rosamel's ditto at
13A % premium, and the West Flanders at 3% premium.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under Sheriff Bußcnt.u..)
WHITTENBURY V. WESTROPP.
This was an action for goods sold and delivered and work
and labour done. The claim was 191.25. The defendant
pleaded that he never was indebted beyond the sum of 61.25.,
to which he had a set off.
Mr. CHARNOCK stated the case. The plaintiff was for-
merly a baker in the Whitechapel-road, and the defendant
purchased hisbusine,ss,'after which he engaged the plaintiff to
superintend some repairs, for which he charged 21. a week ;
the rest of the account was for a mainsail, &c. for a smack,
a trough, and other things. He (the Learned Counsel) re-
gretted that the offer he had made to refer the matter to
some competent person, and that defendant should make an
apology for some expressions he had used against the plaintiff
on which an action had been brought, had been refused. The
plaintiff would take 121. and an apology.
Mr. Hmvxmrs, for the defendant, proposed that all matters
should be referred unconditionally, and an apology to be
made on either side ifdeemed proper by the referee this pro-
posal, however, was rejected.
Several witnesses were called, and the main evidence was
as to the value of the sails and their sale to the defendant.
In cross-examination two of the plaintiff's sons, who had
given their evidence in a very evasive manner, admitted that
the plaintiff had deposited the sails with the defendant as
security for flour supplied to him.
Other witnesses spoke to other admissions of their being
left with defendant for 151.
A further sum of 101., claimed for money paid for defen-
dant, was abandoned.
The jury retired for some time, and then gave a verdict for
plaintiff.
In consequence of the vacation in this Court the list was
very heavy.
Mr. HEATON said he was engaged in the last case but four,
and as there did not appear to be any chance of its coming
on, he wished to know whether the Learned Under-Sheriff
would not fix upon a certain number to be taken this sitting ?
In other Courts the Marshal limited the number, but here
great inconvenience arose through so many cases being set
down which could not possibly be heard, although a great
number of persons were kept in waiting.
The UNDER-SITERIFF said that sometimes they got through
twenty or thirty cases in the day. Those to-day, however,
appeared to be heavy; he would, therefore, not take any
beyond No. 17. The above case lasted nearly three hours.
The Learned Under-Sheriff said it could have been settled
out of Court by any competent person in half an hour.

CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
Charles Maynard, aged 47, described in the calendar as an
agent, on being placed at the bar on a charge of felony, for
receiving a desk stolen from the Great Western Railway
Company's station, and on another charge for bigamy,
pleaded Not Guilty to the former charge, but Guilty to the
charge of bigamy.
The COMMON-SERGEANT stated he would not sentence him
on the charge of bigamy until he had been tried on the
charge of felony.
ROBBING LODGINGS.—James Matthews and Mary Anne
Thomas, respectable-looking people, pleaded Guilty to the
charge of stealing a quantity of goods. It appeared that the
Prisoners removed the property at various times, and pawned
the various articles afterwards.
The prisoners were sentenced to be imprisoned for six
months.

STEALING rno3r A SHIP.— George TVebb, aged 15, appren-
tice, was indicted for stealing sixteen sovereigns and other
moneys from the captain of the vessel in which he served.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, that having
occasion to leave the vessel, he found on his return that
the prisoner had absconded. He immediately went to the
mother of the priSoner, where he found him ; and on charg-
ing him with the robbery, he replied he had not taken all the
money from the desk.
As the prisoner was strongly recommended to mercy by
the prosecutor and jury, it being his first offence, the sentence
was limited to three months' imprisonment in the House of
Correction, with hard labour.

(Before Mr. Justice Wicarriumt and Mr. Justice ERLE.)
MANSLAUGHTER.—James Hawkins, aged 37, surgeon, was
indicted for having feloniously caused the death of Mary
Anne Crowder, by wilful neglect on his part in attending her
in childbirth, in his capacity of accoucheur.
Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clark-
son defended the prisoner.
Catharine Thornton deposed that she lived with the de-
ceased Mary Ann Crowder. On the 30th of July last de-
ceased was taken ill, and the prisoner was sent for to attend
her. He arrived a little after nine in the evening. About
half-past eleven deceased was delivered of a living child.
Between four and five the following morning deceased com-
plained of a severe pain in her stomach. This Hawkins ac-
counted for by natural causes. She continued to get worse
until eight o'clock, when she was delivered of a second child.
She shortly afterwards sunk, and died at a quarter past six
in the evening.

Cross-exaniined by Mr. CLARKSON—He had always heard
deceased speak in the highest terms of Mr. Hawkins' care
and skill. Mr. Bartlett and Mr. Thorne, two other surgeons,
were called in. Deceased was assisted in the delivery of her
second child by Mr. Thorne.
Elizabeth Smith, midwife, examined—She was called in
on the morning of the 31st July to attend deceased. She was
then very ill. Deceased said to Hawkins, " I'm sure you have
murdered me, for I know there is another child."
Nicholas Crowder—Was husband of deceased. He went
for Mr. Hawkins at eleven o'clock on the 30th July. Upon
finding deceased so ill he implored him to send for further
assistance, but he replied that twenty doctors could be of no
further use to her. After the delivery of the second child he
reproached Hawkins with his want of skill, but he left with-
out further reply.

Michael Balt'lett, surgeon, of 24, Hatton-garden—He was
called in about nine o'clock on the 30th of July last. He
found the deceased very ill, and one of her intestines very
much inflamed. He then went for Mr. Thorne, and upon
returning, found a third surgeon, a Mr. Gibson, there. Upon
Mr. Thorne examining the woman he found the existence of
a second child in the womb. There was no difficulty gene-
rally in ascertaining whether a second child remainsin the
womb. It was always the surgeon's duty to ascertain that
fact. The second child was delivered by means of instru-
ments. If these instruments had not been used the deceased
would have died undelivered.

Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKsoN—There was a rupture
of the vagina. This might have been occasioned by the birth
of the first child. In his opinion it was imprudent to use in-
struments to accelerate a second delivery under such circum-
stances. He had heard of a late case in which a first-rate
practitioner was unable to detect the discovery of a second
child. He understood Mr. Hawkins to be a very skilful man,
and had sought his assistance in cases of necessity himself
John Thorne, surgeon, Mill-street, Pentonville, examined
—Between nine and ten in the morning of the 31st July be
arrived at the house of the deceased, and found her in a very
prostrate condition. He examined her, and found the pre-
sence of a second child. He immediately informed the other
surgeons of the fact. He delivered the child at once. He
had attended the post mortem examination. The parts were
much swelled, torn, and otherwise injured. Tho deceased, in
his opinion, had died from these injuries. There was not in
any instance the slightest difficulty in ascertaining the exist-
ence of a second child after the delivery of the first.
John Gibson, surgeon, of Holborn-hill—Had attended de-
ceased on the lst of July. He deposed to the same facts as
proved by Mr. Bartlett and Mr. Thorne.
Dr. Davies stated he had made a post mortem examination
on the body of the deceased. He described at length, and
with great minuteness, the appearance which the womb and
the intestines presented after death. The latter protruded
through a rent in the vagina, and the whole presented a
lacerated appearance. He dno doubt that the de-
ceased died from the effect of the injuries in question.
In his opinion these appearances,were not produced by.nature.
It must have taken considerable force to produce the injuries
as he found them on the post mortem examination.
This was the case for the prosecution.
At the desire of Mr. Justice INTIOTITMAN the witness, Ca-
therine Thornton was recalled, who proved in detail the man-
ner in which the prisoner Hawkins delivered deceased of her
first child.
Mr. CLARKSON' here submitted to the Court that there was
no evidence to show that the deceased had come by her death
by any negligence or want of skill on the part of the prisoner,
but solely arose from natural causes.
Mr. Justice WIGHTIVIAN was of opinion that thatwas a case
for the jury.
Mr. CLArucsoN accordingly addressed the jury for the de-
fence. He urged the want of evidence on the part of the
prosecution, to substantiate the present charge, and called
se'ieral witnesses, who proved that Mr. Hawkins'
conduct on the melancholy occasion in question had been
marked with all the skill of a careful practitioner.
A number of ladies, whom the prisoner had attended at
their confinements, spoke in the highest terms of his uniform
skill, care, and attention.
One of these, a Frenchwoman, being unable to speak Eng-
lish, and their being no professional interpreter present, Signor
Pino, a Moor, from Tangiers, who was seated on the bench,
and who seemed to take a great interest in the proceedings
of the Court, politely volunteered his services.
Mr. O'BRIEN replied on the part of the prosecution, after
which
Mr. Justice IVlcinTatAN summed up the evidence, and the
jury returned a vervict of Not Guilty.

The verdict was received with marks of great approbatio
by the friends of the prisoner assembled in the Court ; an
the prisoner left the dock surrounded by his friends.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
G:orye.King, aged nine years, was charged as follows :
Mrs. Veincan, a widow with a large family, living in Rath-
bone-place, stated that the prisoner was in the habit of
pla3 ing with her children ; he was the son of a poor widow
living in the neighbourhood. On Friday last he came crying
to witness, and said he could not help doing so, as he was so
very hungry, and that his mother had no food to give. She
in consequence took him into her place, and gave him vic-
tuals, but while there it appeared he broke open the lock of
a drawer with a fork, and stole a silk pocket-handkerchief of
the value of between 4s. and ss. On Sunday afternoon last,
during her absence from home, the prisoner managed to
enter her apartment by forcing open the window, and carried
off four silk handkerchiefs, a sheet, and other property; ho
also regaled himself in the place by eating up a pound of
moist sugar. Since then he had kept out of the way, but last
evening the police succeeded in apprehending him.
Mr. HARDWICK asked the prisoner what he had done with
the stolen property.—He replied that he had pledged it at
different pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's,
and had sold the duplicates afterwards. He was put up to
" do the job" by another boy.
A constable said the prisoner had committed several rob-
beries in the neighbourhood.
He was remanded until Saturday next, in order to allow
time to trace the property.

LERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
John Welch was charged with assaulting a man, named
Connor.
Police-constable, 22 G—There is no complainant.
Mr. GREENWOOD—Why ? Police-constable—I believe
they have settled it.
Mr, GREENWOOD—Why ? Policeman—l believe the pri-
soner gave the complainant something.
Mr. GREENWOOD—This really must not be tolerated. Let
the complainant be brought in.
The complainant and his wife came into Court, when, upon
being interrogated by the magistrate, they admitted having
abandoned the charge, the prisoner promising to give them.
some drink at a public-house near the Court.
Mr. GREENWOOD--Are you in the habit of doing these
things 2—The complainant said he had done so before.
Mr. GREENWOOD said it was a scandalous thing to com-
promise an offence upon such terms ; and the parties might
as well know that they subjected themselves to two years'
imprisonment for so doing.
John Wilson was charged with the following misconduct
at the house of Mr. James Livey, a colleeshop-keeper, resid-
ing in 68, High-street, Camden-town.
The prisoner went into the coffee-shop on the previous
evening, and as his conduct was not decorous, Mr. Livey told
him to walk out ; he refused, and when Mr. Livey insisted
upon his doing so struck him on the head, and, stooping
down, attempted to throw him head over heels. A police-
man came in, and he was apprehended.
The prisoner was, in default of fine, sentenced to five days'
mprisonment.

REGISTRATION COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
The REVISING BARRISTER this day decided that he had
the power of correcting any errors in the description given of
a claimant. This decision will have the effect of placing upon
the register a great number of livery-men who were supposed
to be disqualified.

BANK OF ENGLAND.
(TMS DAY.)
_ _ _

A general Court of Proprietors of the Bank of England
was held this day in the Bank parlour. The attendance of
Proprietors was not numerous. The chair was taken by the
Governor, Mr. Heath, at twelve o'clock precisely.
The SECRETARY read the advertisement convening the
meeting.
The GOVERNOR said he had much pleasure in meeting the
Proprietors on the present occasion, and he was happy to
say, that the Directors, after a careful examination of the
Bank accounts, felt justified in recommending to the Court of
Proprietors that a dividend of three and a half per cent. on
the capital stock of the Company should be declared, deducting
therefrom 7d. in the pound for the income-tax. The accounts, as
the:Proprietors would see were now made up differently from the
system on which they had heretofore been kept. Instead of
calculating by anticipation, as to what the real and profitable
results might be, they were now settled from ascertained
data, and as the Bank books showed them to be on the 28th,of
February, and the 31st of August, respectively. The state of
the accounts for the last half year were in a high degree
satisfactory. After paying a dividend of 3% per cent., and
after deducting the income-tax, which amounted to
14,824/. 3s. 4d., there would be carried to the Rest a balance
of 15,353/. 14s. and Bd., which would make the total amount
of the Rest 3,094,378/. lls. 4d. In making this announce-
ment he begged to remind the Court of Proprietors that
nothing was carried to their account thatewas not absolutely
realized.

A PROPRIETOR said that, after the satifactory statement
which was made in March last, and the flourishing condition
of the Bank since that time, he had been in hopes—and he
was not the only one that indulged in the expectation—that
they should this day have a dividend of 4 per cent.—(Hear,
hear.)
The GOVERNOR said that it would be very satisfactory to
the Directors if they could announce a dividend of 4, or even
per cent. But it should be recollected that the price of
money in the market was very low. He thought the Pro-
prietors might concur in the satisfaction of the Directors that
they were able to state such a result.
Mr. CLARKE ( a Proprietor) said that although it would be
more agreeable to the Proprietors to receive a larger dividend,
they should bear in mind that the Directors were the best
judges of what might conducive to the interests of the Com-
pany. Leaving everything to their discretion, he was sure
that the Directors would act best for the interests of the Com-
pany in giving them a small dividend.— (Hear and a laugh. )
In answer to a Proprietor,
The GOVERNOR said .that the idea of a western branch in
the metropolis had been spoken of, but nothing determinate
had been resolved on. The Hon. Gentleman made some fur-
ther observations, but in so low a tone that their purport could
not be collected by the reporters.
The Court then rose.

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
DIE HAGUE, SErr. 15.—The disease which has attacked
the potatoes in a great part of the kingdom has attracted the
attention of the Government. It has induced an inquiry into
the causes and the character of the disease, and the means of
preventing a rise in the prices of articles ("subsistence.
The Stoats Courant published a royal ordinance, dated the
14th of September, stating the measures taken by the Govern-
ment for the importation of articles of food :

" We, William IL, &c.'ef,c., seeing Article 2 of the law of
9th June, 1845 ;
. _ _

" Having taken into consideration the unfavourable pros-
pect of the crop of potatoes, which are one of the principal
articles of food for the most numerous class ; and that the
general interest, as well as that of the commerce and manu-
factures of the country, requires that we should prevent by
all possible means a rise in the price of provisions ;
" Having likewise taken into consideration that in thin
respect the Government should take no other measures than
such as may tend to encourage as much as possible the im-
portation of provisions for the working classes ;
" On the report of our Minister of Finance, of the 9th of
September, 1845,

Having consulted with our Minister of the Interior, with
advice of our Council of State,

" Have decreed and decree—.
" ArL 1. From the 15th of_ September, the import duties
on the following articles are :--
"Potatoes, 5 cents. per 10 mudi.
" Barley, 1 cent. per 1001bs.
" Rice, 1 cent. per 1001bs.
" Beans, Peas, and Lentils, 10 cents per last.
" Groats and Pearl Barley, 3 florins per 1001bs.
"Flour, 5 florins per 1001bs.
" This scale is fixed on all parcels of these articles, which
shall be declared on importation on and after the 15th of
September.
Art. 2. We shall propose to the States General in the
next session the necessary measures to give legal validity
to the regulations of Article 1 of the present decree,
and also to fix till the Ist of June, 1846, or later if it
shall be judged necessary, the import duty on Rye and Buck
Wheat, at the rate fixed for the present month of September,
of 15 cents per mudd,' and on Wheat and Rye, for the same
period, at 25 and 10 cents per mudd on the minimum of the
duties fixed on these kinds of grain, by the law of 29th De..
.cember, 1834.

" Our Minister of Finance is charged with the executions
of the present decree, which is to be inserted in the bulletus
of the law, and copies sent to our Minister of the Interior
and to the Council of State."

( • Mudd is about four English bushels. This reduction its
the duties is very considerable. By the tariff now suspendcd
they are on potatoes 5 cents. per mudd ; on barley and ricer
30 cents. per 1001bs. ; on beans 7% florins per last ; on,
groats, &c., 10 flubs jper 100Ibs. ; on wheat, rye, and flour
20 florins per 1001bs, and on potato-flourlo florins per 1001bs.
The Staats Courant has a very long article on the subject ;
it states that the produce in 1843 was 14,662,571 muddy, and.
in 1844, 13,552,030 muddy ; and that from the return
already made, it seems probable that two-thirds, if no 4
three-fourths, of the crop are spoiled by the disease.
It is believed that the crops of rye, wheat, barley, buck..
wheat, beans, and peas, will, on the. whole, not fall short of
those of last year.
