POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CLERKENWELL.

Yesterday Wm. Thomas, a driver in the service of
Messrs. Coulson, the Islington omnibus proprietors,
was charged with manslaughter, in driving over the
body of one Jos. Ellis, and thereby causing his death.
Inspector Thatcher, of the N division, said that in
consequence of information he had received, he ap-
prehended the prisoner on the previous evening, whilst
on the box of the omnibus 3,981, called the Hope, be-
longing to Messrs. Thomas and Wm. Coulson. Wit-
ness informed the prisoner that he wanted him for
running over a man, named Ellis, in the City-road,
on. Monday night, about ten o'clock. Witness knows,
from having received a Coroner's summons to attend
thr.,. inquest, that the man is dead. When witness told
the prisoner what he apprehended him for, he said he
knew nothing about it. He also asked whether bail
would be taken, to which witness answered in the
negative.
Robert Duncan, the conductor of Wilson's omnibus,
3,962, badge 133, said he was with his 'bus in the
City-road on Monday night, about ten o'clock. He
was standing on his footboard looking back, when, as
they got a little lower than the Blue-coat Boy, he saw
the other omnibus about thirty yards behind him,
taking the direction, as he thought, towards Goswell-
street. It was going at the rate of not more than six
or seven miles an hour. Believes the prisoner was
the driver. He had come up to the Blue-coat Boy
before witness had started. Witness did not get off
his footboard at all. Both the omnibuses commenced
their journey from Highgate to the City. Will swear
they were not racing then or at all that night. Wit-
ness saw something lying in the road, which he at
first thought was a great coat, which had fallen from
the box of the prisoner's omnibus. He saw it after
the omnibus had passed. Will swear that he did not
see either the horses or the omnibus pass over it. It
was on the off side.
Mr. COMBS—Did you see them pass it ? Witness—
They went past it. I saw the coachman stop the
omnibus, and the conductor got down from his footboard.
I was then forty yards in advance of them. We went
forward. I continued looking back, and I saw the
conductor run to that which I thought was a great-
coat, and then I saw a number of persons coming to
the spot from the direction of the Angel. I saw no
more. I did say to my coachman "I think there is
somebody run over." What I saw looked like a coat
or a man. I will swear I did not see a man's hat or
a man's head. I will not swear it was not a man. I
did believe it was a man, because I saw people running
to the spot, but it was then dark.
Mr. COMBS closely questioned this witness touch-
ing the identity of the prisoner as the driver, but
could not bring him to say whether he could swear to
him, though he said he had no doubt he was the man.
In consequence of the manner in which the witness
answered these and other questions, Mr. Combe
severely reprimanded him, taking the number of his
badge and of his omnibus, and saying he hoped that
the witness would not answer in the same way at the
Old Bailey, for if he did, he might depend upon it he
would be sent to Newgate.
Inspector Thatcher informed the Magistrate that
this was all the evidence he was at present prepared
with, and requested a remand to a future day, which
was acceded to.

DONCASTER—TUESDAY.
It is beyond dispute that, up to the Warwick week,
the St. Leger, as a betting race, had been incomparably
dull, and then it was only the rumours set afloat, to die
disparagement of the favourite, that infused anything
like spirit into the speculations on it. For this falling
off it is not difficult to account ; the race itself has been
gradually sinking for some years, not in the estimation of
sporting men only, but of the public generally ; the im-
mense preponderance of Scott's stable hastened its decline,
rival meetings sprung up, the Goodwood, Liverpool, New-
castle and Chester events, and a host of handicaps, came in
for their share of attention, the death of some of the most
influential supporters of the turf, and the retirement of
others, made vacancies that have not been filled up; the
ring has been awfully shaken in numbers, wealth and
confidence by two bad Derby settlings, and the attention
of hundreds devotedly attached to the sport has been
distracted, and their means of enjoying it diminished by
the melancholy state of trade in every part of
the kingdom. In exemplification of the last-men-
tioned items, we need only refer to Manchester, where
every second man attests his interest in the sport,
either in the shape of a "Sweep"' or a bet—the recent
disturbances have utterly deprived'them of the where-
withal to indulge their fancies. At Sheffield (one
of the most sporting towns in the North), which
is dependent entirely on the American market,
business is in so deplorable a state, that at
this moment upwards of, five
artificers are on the parish thousand able-bodied
books. There has
been no " turn-out " at The causes
t
we have enumerated have,--81112e1da: sensible
on all kinds of amusements on racing (the
most expensive of them all) in particular, and more
so on the present St. Leger than any other event of the
year. After reading this brief preamble, those who derive
their knowledge of the passing events of the turf from
the columns of a newspaper, will not be surprised to
hear that the St. Leger day, celebrated on Tuesday last,
fell short of the grandeur and excitement that we have
so often witnessed and described in the " olden time ;"
still, in the hacknied sense of the phrase, it was a
" grand day ;" the railroads from the north/ and
south, the Midland and Western Counties, biought
a very large increase to the company mentioned
as having arrived on Monday ; the streets were
thronged at an early hour ; the list promised a good
start for the race, and a sufficiency of running of
a less exciting character. The weather was fine, and
" one or the field " repeated in every variety of dialect,
showed the anxiety that was felt in the approaching
struggle. The betting-rooms were thronged for some
hours before the commencement of the races, and rings,
large and small, being formed in different parts of the
room, business proceeded with considerable activity to
the last moment. Amongst other prominent favourites

before midnight she was backed heavily at 10 to 1 by
the parties who had eagerly supplied the wants of the
Eglinton party, at thousands to twenty-five, twenty, and
so on, up to less than half those odds—in truth they looked
uncommonly " blue ;" the gelding (blaster Thomas)
placed them in just as pleasant a predicament, and thou-
sands to twenty-five were most reluctantly hedged at 10
prophets,
to 1. After the first half-hour a change vastly to the pre-
judice of the gelding occurred. Attila was in great demand
at 6 to 5, and in a very brief space his companion (the
gelding aforesaid) went out of the betting. Beyond
this, and an improvement of two or three points in
Ballinkeele and Eboracum, there was nothing done that
claims particular notice. About one o'clock the books
and the doors were closed ; and in another half hour,
the thousands that had been cooped up within the nar-
row confines of the town, bad changed the venue to the
race course. The scene
there was exceedingly bril-
liant ; the Stands, large and small, were full to over-
flowing ; and an immense
multitude was congregated
on either side of the rails, from the gravel road
above the Starting-post, to considerably below
the Distance. So cheerful and well-ordered an as-
semblage has not been seen on Dsecast?r race-course for
many years ; the only ingredient wanting to make
and make the
picture complete was a better display of beauty
fashion. The first race on the day's list ended in a walk
over ; the second was little better ;these disposed of, the
bell rang for saddling for the St. Leger, of which, and

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The Boston and Halifax Royal Mail steamer Bri-
tannia, arrived in the Mersey this morning at seven
o'clock, having sailed from Boston on the Ist, and
from Halifax on the 3d instant, making the trip from
the latter port in 10i days.
(From the New York American.)
NEW YORK, Two P.M., AUG. 31.—A material
change for the better has come over the prospects of
the country since our last. The ratification of the
British treaty by the Senate, is looked upon as set-
tling the question of enduring and harmonious peace
with England for long years to come. May it be
perpetual ! On this solid basis of confidence and re-
newed hope, comes the Tariff Bill, just passed by
Congress, and signed by the President without delay,
and now therefore the law of the land. We annex
a comparative abstract of the duties it imposes, and
those imposed by the law of 1822. In addition to the
actual amount of duties, is the fact that they are to
be paid in cash, where, heretofore, there was an
average credit of six months.
The valuation of goods is to be ascertained in the
manner heretofore in use, adding only the commis •
sion to the charges before included, before estimating
the duty.
The following list comprises all the important arti-
cles to be admitted duty free :-
1. All articles imported for the use of the United
States.
2. All goods, the product of the United States ex-
ported and brought back, and books, and personal and
household effects of citizens of the United States dy-
ing abroad.
3. Paintings and statuary, the production of Ame-
rican artists residing abroad.
4. Wearing apparel in actual use, and other per-
sonal effects and tools of trade, of persons arriving in
the United States.
5. Philosophical apparatus, instruments, books,
maps, and charts, statues, statuary, busts and casts,
paintings, drawings, engravings, etchings, specimens
of sculpture, cabinets of coins, medals, gems, and all
other collections of antiquities, provided the same he
specially imported in good faith for the use (and by
the order) of any society incorporated or established
for philosophical or literary purposes, or for the use
and by the order of any college, academy, school, or
seminary of learning in the United States.
6. Anatomical preparations, models of machinery,
and or other inventions and improvements in the
arts ; specimens in natural history, mineralogy, and
botany; trees, shrubs, plants, bulbs or roots, and
garden seeds, not otherwise specified ; berries, nuts,
and vegetables, used principally in dying or com-
posing dyes ; all dye-woods in stick, whale, and other
fish oils of American fisheries, and all other articles
the produce of said fisheries; animals imported for
breed ; fish, fresh caught, imported for daily con-
sumption ; fruit, green or ripe, from the West In-
dies, in bulk ; tea and coffee, when imported in Ame-
rican vessels from the places of their growth.
7. Adhesive felt for sheathing vessels, aloes, anti-
mony, crude argol, asafoetida.; ava root, barilla, bark
of cork tree unmanufactured, bells of bell metal, and
chimes of bells ; brass in pigs or bars, and old brass,
Brazil wood, crude brimstone and flour of sulphur,
bullion, burr stones unwrought, c Ichineal, coins and
gold and silver, copper imported in any shape for the
use of the Mint, copper in pigs, or bar, and copper
ore, old copper, cream of tartar, flints, ground flint,
gold bullion, gold epaulettes, grindstones, gum Arabic,
gum Senegal, gum tragacanth, India rubber, oakum,
Inc dye, leeches, madder, mother of pearl, nickel, nux
vomica, palm leaf manufactured, palm oil, Peruvian
bark, plating, ivory, plaster of Paris, ratans and reeds,
saltpetre when crude, sarsaparilla, shellac, silver epau-
lets and wings, stones, stones called rotten.
The duties are imposed by the first nine sections of
the law.
Section 10 enacts that on all enumerated articles
shall he imposed a duty of 20 per cent. ad valorem.
Section 11. An additional 10 per cent. shall be
levied on all goods which shall be imported in vessels
not of the United States—when no specific discrimi-
nation is made by the Bill ; and 10 per cent. additional
on all goods except those brought from beyond the
Cape of Good Hope in foreign vessels—provided no
treaty stipulations be infringed thereby.
Section 12. All duties shall be paid in cash—or the
goods will be sold after 60 days' detention.
Section 13, prescribes the method of selling, and
means for the owner to recover the overplus.
Section 14 allows a drawback on foreign sugar re-
fined in and exported from the United States, equal in
amount to the duty paid on the foreign sugar ; of 5
cents per gallon on spirits distilled from molasses till
1843, when it shall be only 4, and annually reduced
1 cent.
Section 15 enacts that no drawback shall be al-
lowed to goods entitled to debenture, unless exported
within three years after their import.
Section 16 provides the mode of valuation of all
goods paying ad valorem duties, enacting that all
costs, charges, and commissions except insurance, shall
be added to the market value.
Section 17 empowers collectors and appraisers to
take testimony necessary for valuation.
Section 18 provides for cases of disagreement on
appraisal.
Section 19 enacts penalties for attempts to evade
the payment of duties.
Section 20 imposes on non•enumerated articles the
same duties as those enumerated which they most

Section 21 directs the method of appraisal.
Section 22 provides for ports where there are no
appraisers.
Section 23 directs the Secretary of the Treasury to
make necessary rules for faithful appraisals.
Section 24 directs collectors to follow the Secreta-
ry's instructions.
Section 25 provides that the Act shall not apply to
vessels that shall have left their last port east of the
Capes Good Hope and llenlopen, Sept. 1,1842.
Section 26 provides that the penalties of the law of
June 30, 1842, shall be continued.
Section 27 (Land Distribution) omitted.
Section 28, 29, and 30 ( struck out in Senate).
Section 31 requires the Secretary annually to as-
certain and report what articles have paid a duty of
more than 30 per cent. ad valorem.
Section 32 prohibits the importation of indecent
prints and books.
Section 33 establishes a ton at 20 hundred weight,
of 1.12 lbs each.
A new section is added to the Senate, enacting that
while the distribution of the public lands is suspended
the 10 per cent. allowed in the Western States shall
also be suspended.-- Tribune.

Yesterday a poor woman named Briggs, the widow
of a cab-driver, who recently lost his life under very
deplorable circumstances, attended, with her mother,
an aged woman, before Mr. Broughton, to solicit his
,t!ssistance.

It appeared from- the statement of the applicant,
that :per deceased husband was formerly in business
as a shoe-manufacturer, from which he was compelled
to retire in consequence of severe losses; but being
much respected he succeeded in borrowing a sufficient
sum to purchase a horse and cab, by means of which
he was in hopes of securing a subsistence for his
numerous family. . He had been six months engaged
in his new occupation, and had good prospects of suc-
ceeding in it, when about five weeks ago his cab was
hired at Islington by three men, who desired him to
drive after a phaeton, which had taken the road to
Highgate. He overtoak the vehicle at Highgate
Archway, where his passengers alighted, and offered
him is., and on his demanding 35., which was his legal
' fare, they commenced abusing him, and one of them
e ventually threw him down with so much violence that
he sustained a severe compound fracture of the leg.
The
.three fellows then drove away in the phwton, and
the poo.v cabman was soon afterwards picked up by the
police, w,.i,„_/ conveyed him to St. Bartholomew s Hos-
pital, where 14.4.5 leg was amputated, but he remained
in a delirious stll'tet and only survived the operation a
few days. Every exertion was made ET the police to
discover the retreat :If isls Assailants without success ;
and the Jury, at the OCriodAer'g inquest that was held
on the deceased, returns t vgaßt of "
Manslaughter
against some person oT
persons onknown." Soon
after her husband's death the
upfortunata apcant
disposed of his horse and gig, pli
tie proceeds Of which
barely sufficed to meet the claims of jis creditors, and
she was now left in a state of utter deofitption, with
six children and an infirm mother, who were all de-
pendent upon her for support, and, to increase her
misery, she was on the eve of again becoming a mo-
they. Under these circumstances she was induced to
taining soh
lay her c:nse before the Magistrate, in the hope of ob-
le trifling pecuniary assistance to place her
in some sma.ll way of
business, whereby she might
procure the me,lng of subsistence for her helpless and
destitute offspring.

felt satisfied that a case more ti •ILIT dese:Ylng of public
commisseration had never been 61.'ought forward. It
was impossible to avoid sympat hisinls- with hexmisfor-

and children reduced in amo silent from comparative
comfort and happiness to a stati3 of destitution and
misery. He had just receiv ed :a contribution of 55.

The poor woman expressed h erself in terms of
heartfelt gratitude to the TMagistrf Ite for his urbanity
and kindness, and left the Court wit h her infirm parent.

pre-
liminary canters ; some minutes after, the other two—
Attila and Master Thomas made their appearance in
company, took a short gallop, and joined in the cus-
tomary parade from the Grand Stand to the starting-
post. After one slight failure an effective start
was accomplished, and the race commenced;
Attila taking the lead at a strong pace, followed
by Soalteen and Eboraeum—Marion, Priscilla Tom-
boy, Fireaway, Happy-go-Lucky, and several
others treading upon their heels, with every
other horse in the race closely laid up, ex-
cept Ballinkeele, Seahorse, and Cattenite. Marion
receded from the front rank in a few strides, and
Priscilla Tomboy, finding the speed too much
for her, was fain to keep company with Seahorse and
Cattonite in the rear. In rising the hill, Scalteen was
passed by Eboracum, who neared the favourite at the
mile post, and forced the running so effectually, that at
the Bed House it was evident, even from the stand, that
Attila was in diffienitY ; in malting the bend this was
placed beyond all doubt, and "The favourite's beaten" was
heard from all parts of the course. Eboracum and Seal-
teen retired with him, and the running was taken up
by Fireaway ; Blue Bonnet, who
had been in the
ruck up to the Red Rouse, showed in front
immediately after with Priscilla 'Tomboy, and at
the two mile post they were close up with him,
Blue Bonnet 1 lying on his left, close to the rails, and
Priscilla Tomboy on his right ; Cabrera was in their
wake, and Seahorse, who had been most conspicuously
in the roar to the turn, having passed the beaten horses
rapidly, was lying in his track at
the distance. About
two hundred yards from homeßlue Bonnet wrested the
lead from Fireaway, was never after caught, and wan
very easily by a length. Priscilla Tomboy went past
Flreaway at the Stand, but was herself challenged by
Seahorse a few atrldea from the chair, and beaten by
half a length. Fireaway turned Ina
e—Y before he reached
home, began kicking, and was a bad fourth; Ballinkeele
made a waiting race of it, and by an effort at the last ran
his compatriot, Fireaway, ton 2!, length. Cabrera was
some lengths behind, and was renewed in b crowd of
a
horses, at the head of which, we understoo,,
were Attila,

condition, and ran as bad as he looked.-he was beaten
off in the first fifty yards.
The race was run in three
minutes eighteen seconds. Value of

That Attila was a different animal to the
Attila-- that won
the Derby cannot be doubted—he was nervous at the post,
and betrayed other unequivocal p',lnePtoras of not being

horse's friends were very annoyed at the position
he occupied from the starting post to the Red House ;
they insist that Chapple laid out of his
ground, and that
his chance was greatly prejudiced

lost a little ground at starting, out that, like' Priscilla
Tomboy, he could not go the pace. The settling seems
