NEW COURT.

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY

GREAT FOOT RACE BETWEEN
MOORE, OF LEICESTER, AND THE STAG,
FOR ERNI

This match arose out of a previous affair, when these men
were backed to run a quarter of a mile, upon which occasion
the Stag was the victor, winning apparently with great ease,
but not without some suspicion of foul play ; Moore attributing
his defeat to a sudden attack of illness while running, presumed
to have been brought on by something deleterious which had
been administered to him. Whether there was any foundation
for this insinuation it is impossible to say, but the friends of
Moore were not satisfied with the result, and came forward
with alacrity yesterday to support their man. Redmond's, the
Swiss Cottage, Regent's-park, was the appointed rendezvous,
and at an early hour the patrons of pedestrianism were moving
to the spot. It was announced that the race would take place
at three o'clock, but the men did not appear on the ground until
nearly six o'clock. Betting was in favour of the Stag at 5 and
6 to 4, and he did not disappoint the expectations of his sup-
porters, as he again came off victorious, beating his opponent
after a splendidly contested race, by about one yard. 7he
distance (220 yards) was run in 26 seconds. A great con.
course of amateurs attended, and Redmond must have reaped
a good harvest, which he richly deserves for his civil and
obliging deportment on all occasions.

MANCHESTER, APRIL 7.—The following requisi-
tion, agreed to at a public meeting of the electors, held in the
• Town-hall on Friday, has received between three and four
thousand signatures • it is addressed to the Members for
the Borough—" Showeth, That, in the opinion of your
requisitionists, being electors of Manchester, the proposed tax
upon the profits of trade is calculated to aggravate the difficul-
ties under which the cotton manufacturer is labouring. and to
increase the sufferings of the working classes, by diminishing
the fund for their employment, and lowering the wages of la-
bour. That the deficiency of the revenue has been caused by
theol eration of baneful monopolies, especially the Corn-laws,
which are undermining the trade of this district ; and that to
attempt to maintain the national income by taxes upon the
profits of capital, and to leave virtually untouched the chief
source of the present commercial distress, must speedily destroy
the fund from which the revenue of the State, the employment
of the people, and the income of all classes, are mainly drawn.
'1 hat your requisitionists hereby call on you, Mark Philips and
Thomas Milner Gibson, Esqs., Members for the Borough, to
oppose the imposition of any new taxes, until all the mono-
polies on food are abolished ; arid that, in accordance with the
above resolution, a requisition to the Members be prepared for
the signatures of the electors."
• MONEY-MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE.—
Money was very plentiful in the City this morning, and the
man at the crossing near the Bank carried off a large sum at
the clearing. Mohair stock was not very buoyant, but gloves
were easy at Is. 6d. a pair and upwards. Company's tea was
wishy-washy, at a spoonful for each person, and one for the
pot ; but coffee rose rapidly when placed upon a hot fire. Coals
were nominally heavy, but were found much lighter on being
weighed ; and eggs, though they looked promising yesterday,
opened'very badly this morning. In spices there was very little
done; but a party suffered greatly who had been keeping too
close an eye to pepper.—Punch.

Several indictments for uttering iia;e coin were tried this
morning, but the details are of no interest. The following are
the convicts and their sentences ; some of them were found
guilty on their own confession :=-Mary Anne Allen, to be im-
prisoned and kept. at hard labour two years; John Jones, alias
Stone, alias Mahon ; James Regent and William Jones, to be
imprisoned and kept at hard labour one year. William
_Thompson, to be imprisoned and kept at hard labour nine
months. Only one member of the batch, George Leir, was
acquitted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

There was nothing before the Court this morning presenting
any feature of interest, excepting indeed the countenances of
one or two frail fair ones, whose features, we feel bound to say,
as chroniclers of a police- court, were very interesting.
The whole of the night charges were got through by eleven
o'clock this morning.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
There was an unusual paucity of night charges brought this
morning before the Court, and not one of them of the slightest
public interest.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
The sitting of the Court was occupied this morning in the
hearing of charges against four individuals for being found
chunk and incapable of taking care of themselves, and three
disorderly females.

UNION HALL—(THIS DAY.)
John Brummell and Willienn Petty were re-examined,
charged with buaglary.
It appeared that. on Friday night last, the premises of Mr.
Searle, the boat builder, at Lambeth, were broken into and
robbed of a quantity of Clothes belonging to the members of the
Oxford 11 herry Club. On the following morning the prisoners
were taken into custody at a brothel, leading out of the Water-
loo-road, into which they were observed to go at an early hour.
A great portion of the property was found in the house, and
also a large silver medal that had been stolen from the Red
Lion public-house at Lambeth, which had also been broken into
and robbed a few nights previously. As the prisoners are
suspected of having committed other burglaries in the district
they were again remanded.

REVERSIONARY INTEREST SO-
CIETY.-(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of Members this Society was held this day at the
So:iety's Office, 12, King's Arms-yard, Coleman-street. One
of our reporters attended, bet he was informed that the Press
could not be admitted; consequently we are unable to give our
readers any account of the proceedings.
