POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
A young man, of smart address and appearance,
named Elder Stevenson, was summoned by his sister,
Mrs. Rebecca White, a widow, before the Lord
Mayor, for having illegally detained four shares in the
Diamond Steam-packet Company, which she had
intrusted him to sell.
Mrs. 'White stated that about the 9th or June last,
the defendant called upon her, and said he could sell
ten 101. shares which she had is the Company. She
gave him the shares accordingly-, and he promised to
hand h! r over the proceeds in the ensuing week.
Week after week, however, pas'ied, and still no cash
was forthcoming. He, however, returned six of the
shares to her, as she had the assurance of a friend that
he could sell them for her.-: The other four she could
not by any means get the defendant to account for;
and after receiving from him a variety of frivolous
excuses, she was obliged to summon him before his
Lordship.

barmaid at the Railway Inn,
man and woman came to the house about half-past
one o'clock on the above l
day, and ordered ham and
eggs, which she
.cooked for them, and afterwards
waited upon them, which gave her an opportunity of
noticing them. They remained in the house until
half-past three o'clock,' but previously to their depar-
ture the woman went thraugh the kitchen into the
yard, and into the place where the notes were subse-
quently found by Mr. Watson. ,That the man was
also seen by another servant to flillow soon after, and
house at,tl then went away.
In reply to Mr. TRAIL the witness further said that
it was she who gave the description of the suspected
persons, and which appeared
•in the hand-bills that
were circulated.
The witness was here silo •"n a cornelian ear-ring,
which the female prisoner we on the former exami-
nation, and which she appeared so s desirous to conceal
when Mr. Trail desired her to exhibit her side face to
Mr. Marquis, to see if he could,. identify her. On
that occasion she only had on ing in her ear, and
instead of turning that particularside she turned the
did
other, and when asked why sheso, she exhibited
much confusion, but said she had no reason for doing it.
Mr. TRAIL asked the witness Lodge if the ring
produced was like those which she saw in the woman s
ears at Woodside ? The witness replied in the affir-
mative, a fact which was confirmatory of the accuracy
of Bailey's identity.
Mr. Marquis handed in a paper with the numbers

which were two of 500/. each. e_ said that none of

per-

well that the woman was tall, like
Bailey, and having
heard her speak at Preston, the voice exactly resem-
bled. that of the prisoner. He added that Jovell was
not the man in company with the woman atthe • ' time
of the robbery.
Mr. Clarkson said that the case having taken a dif-
ferent turn to that which he was led to anticipate, he
should decline putting any questions to the witness
Lodge ; that previously to the Magistrate deciding on
a committal, or sending down the accused to the place
where the offence was committed, he would grant
another remand, and that the trial, if such was to be
the result,held in
a vast deal of
expense to all parties, as the assizes would not com-
mence until March, and that at the Central Criminal
Court sessions would be on in less than a month.
The _MAGISTRATE acceded to the Learned Cann-
sel's suggestion, and he accordingly remanded the
prisoners until that day fortnight, enlarging j •
ovell s
recognisances to appear on that day to answer the
charge. •
James Perry, a youth in the employment of Messrs.

dding-manufacturers, car , wadding-manufacturers,
ing on business in Norfolk-street, Kennington, was
by
with setting fire to his employers premises,
by which property to a considerable amount was de-
stroyed.
Some evidence was given in support of the charge,
and the prisoner was remanded. ;
THAMES-POLICE.
Yesterday George Kerr, a tall athletic Irishman,
the carpenter of the ship Liverl"l' of Halifax, Nova
Scotia, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, on a
charge of beating his wife, Eliza Kerr, in
a very
savage manner with a poker.
A policeman named Attwood, No. 61 R, stated
that he saw the woman sitting on the steps of a door-
way, at No. 16, Pennyfields Poplar, at seven o'clock
that morning. She was bleeding profusely from two
severe wounds on the head, her arm seemed to he
broken, and she was quite exhausted. She stated
that she had quarrelled with her husband who ,had
been ill-using her all night, and he had beaten' her
with. a poker, which he found in a room in the house
with stains of blood it, and bent from the upon
lence with w • hich one of the blows was inflicted. Ile
found the prisoner at home, and took him into cus-
tody,
andhe said his wife had robbed him of a'sl.
note and
provoked him, and he was very sorry he had
not killed her.

' I "They did not think there was sufficient evidence
to enable them to say how deceased met with his death."
An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. Wakley,
M.P., at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of
George Robertson, aged 22, a carman, who was em-
ployed by his uncle, tr. Martin, a pork butcher and
carman, residing in Aldgate.
George Ball, a cab-driver, residing in Shouldham-
street, Marylebone, stated that on Thursday, the Ist
of Sept., about half past seven o'clock in the morning,
he was driving down Oxford-street, near the Pan-
theon, when he heard a loud rattling noise behind him.
On looking round he saw a cart laden with timber, and
the horse galloping at a furious rate. The deceased
was entangled in the harness, and was endeavouring
to seize hold of the pummel of the saddle. In the
course of his efforts he fell over, and the horse kicked
him on his left side. Deceased then turned over on
his face, and the near-wheel went over his neck and
bark. The horse, a high-spirited animal, was stopped
at the corner of Market-street. The deceased, when
picked up, was quite insensible, and he was removed
on a shutter to the above hospital.
Ann Hemmings, a nurse in the hospital, stated that
the deceased told her that he was going to Oxford-
street with a load of deals, and that he was riding on
he shafts at the time the horse took fright, as he sup-
posed, in consequence of the rattling of the dealt.
The sudden start of the horse jerked him off.
Mr. E. B. Tuson, the house-surgeon proved thit
the deceased died of the injuries he had sustained on
Tuesday last. •
The CORONER commented upon the dangerou,
practice of carmen riding upsn the shafts of vehicles
entrusted to their care, and expressed his astonishment
that the police suffered them to do so, when there was
an Act of Parliament that imposed a penalty for the
commission of such offences. It was a common thing
to see brewers' draymen riding on shafts, and the
not involved lythien irjoivlevsedofththee spafuebtiyieofinttnheirrninoewniti

The Jury concurred in the opinion expressed by

Mr. Charles Thorp, of Clifford's Inn, stated that he
made a demand upon the part of Mrs. White of the
defendant by letter, informing him that unless the four
Diamond Steam-packet Company shares were returned,
an application should be made to the Lord Mayor to
compel him to make restitut;on. No answer was re-
turned, and witness afterwards saw the defendant,
who stated that if the case came before the Lord
Mayor he would trump up a lien, which would show
his Lordship that he could do nothing with it.
The LORD MAron—Did he say that he would
trump up a lien ?—Witness declarwd that to the best
of his belief the words were just as he had stated.
Witness then told defendant that without further
notice application should be made to the Lord Mayor.

band of the complainant.
The defendant said that his sister told him some
time ago that she wished to dispose of the shares, and
he said he would sell them for her if he could. Ile
had had them four or five months in his possession,
and, as she had admitted, he had returned six to her.
lle told her also that the four other shares were in
the hands of a gentleman who had gone to Ramsgate
to sell them.

The LORD MAYOR—That was a very unusual
mode of proceeding. Who would think of going to
Ramsgate to sell shares in a Gravesend Steam
Company.
The defendant said that such notwithstanding was
the case. His sister sent to demand the shares, and
he replied that the moment he heard from the gentle-
man she should be satisfied, and at the same time he
was sitting down to write, he received the letter from
Mr. Thorp, which he was sure no gentleman would
write

HAMBURGII MAIL.
POSEN, AUG. 30.—According to private letters
from Kalisch, changes are about to take place favour-
able to the inhabitants of the kingdom of Poland.
The Emperor, it is said, has issued an ukase, whio
directs that in Warsaw, and probably in all Poland,
the Polish language shall be again used as the channel
of instruction in the schools, and that 12,000 Poli'sh
troops shall be organised, commanded by Polish
officers (except the Staff officers, who are to be Rtis•
sians). It is believed that the Poles will be indebted
for this change, if it should take place, to the visit of
the King of Prussia to St. Petersburgh.
()SCHATZ, SEPT. 18.—A third part of this town, in
which are the largest and finest buildings, as well !as
the part inhabited by most of our woollen cloth ma-
nufacturers, is reduced to ashes, together with the
Senate-house, and other public edifices. The number
of houses destroyed is 144, , and that of the person:,
burnt out may be from 1,500 to 2,000.
DRESDEN, AUG. B.—The ravages of the fire which
broke out on the 31st of August, in ,the Saxon and
Bohemian Switzerland, and which still continues,
presented a grand and awful scene, which must make
an indelible impression on every feeling heart. On
almost the whole way from Winterburg to the Pre-
bitscher-bischther, where the noblest pine forests, in-
termixed with the oak and other timber of all kinds,
received the traveller in their refreshing shades, where
flourishing young plantations bounded the path on
each side, all nature seems t a be plunged, into the sleep of
death. On the scorched and ash-coloured ground stand
thousands of leafless trunks of trees, of all ages and
sizes, turned to charcoal from the roots upwards, and
stretching out their branches blackened by the flames
and the smoke ; in the ravine, formerly concealed from
the eye by the thick foliage of the forest, thousands of
them stand witnesses of the dreadful conflagration.
A letter from Dresden of the Bth of Sept. in the
Prussian State Gazette sys—" The fire in the forest
on the frontiers of Saxony and Bohemia is said not
to be yet extinguished, but to continue its ravages' in
the forest of Prince Clevy towards Tetschen."
A remarkable circumstance has been observed
there, that -the fire continues to burn under ground,
wholly destroying the roots, so that the trees which
appear to be uninjured suddenly fall down.—llanz-
burgh Papers, Sept. 13.

The LORD MAYOR—The letter was a most proper
one, and I wish to know whether you will give them
up ? Defendant—l have them in my pocket now,
but I have a lien on them.

Here the defendant handed in a list of charges for
attending his sister at her residenee at Shepherd's
Bush about the sale of the shares in the Diamond
Steam-packet Company, and other shares, amounting,
inclusive of newspapers, to about 21. 10s., and said
that he could not think of giving up the documents
without payment of the demand.
Mrs. White—He charges for coach-hire for his own
accommodation, when he came out to live upon me,
and when I called at his house he made me pay for
the bread I ate. I am willing to pay the 7s. 6d.
charged for newspapers, biat nothing more.
The LORD Mayon—Certainly not more. I wish to
know at once whether you will hand over the shares
or not ? Defendant—lf your Lordship orders me to
give them up I will, but I shall come down upon her
for what is due to me.
The LORD MAYOR—Hand them over. You may
send in your bill to her afterwards.
Mrs. White—Certainly he may.
The defendant then delivered the shares to his sister,
and upon receiving her receipt for them, left the
police-room amidst contemptuous laughter.
CLERKENWELL.
Henry Morgan, a young man, dre3sed ass a la-
bourer, and apparently about 20 years of age, was
placed at the bar at Clerkenwell Police Court, before
Mr. Bingham, on a charge of having assaulted and
robbed in the streets a number of ladies.
Felicita Smith, a widow, residing in Hemming-
ford-terrace, Islington, stated, that as she was walk-
ing down Amwell-street, opposite Chadwell-street,
a little after ten o'clock last night, the prisoner came
up to her, and laid his hand upon her bag. He told
her she should give it to him. She resisted, and held
it very tight. The prisoner then raised his hand, as
if he wanted to strike her. She removed out of his
way and screamed, upon which several gentlemen
came up, and the prisoner was taken into custody.
Jane 'Whalsby, a young girl, residing in Doughty-
street, stated, that about half-past nine o'clock last
night, the prisoner came up to her in Chadwell-
street, and said that he should have her bag, or else
that he would murder her. She gave it up, and he
walked off with it.

THE QUEEN AND THE KIRK. '
'We give the following extract from the Church and
State Gazette of yesterday, without at all adopting
the views of the writer, respecting her Majesty's rea-
sons for not attending Divine worship in a Scotch
church. We believe there were other causes, which
Dr. Chalmers can explain :--
"The journey of her Majesty through a portion of
her Scottish dominions has been at once agreeable
and satisfactory. It was intended to be one of free-
dom from restraint, and hitherto it has precisely
answered to the original intentions of the Queen. The
reception she has met with has greatly delighted her.
In alluding, however, to her Majesty's visit to Scot-
land, we have a special object in view, to which we
desire to call the attention of our readers—it is the
wise and truly admirable conduct of the Queen with
reference to the subject of religious worship whilst in
that portion of the British empire. If a love of mo-
mentary popularity, which passes away with the
next breeze or the next change of opinion, had
actuated the Queen, she would have charmed
the unreflecting and the irreligious by, attending at
Presbyterian worship, and would have neglected the
Episcopal Church, of which she is the head, for a
mother Church which, however respectable, makes no
such acknowledgment, and is not the religion of the
State. When the Queen was requested to be present
at Presbyterian service, that was a moment of tempta-
tion. 'We cannot but feel that it must have been so.
The General Assembly, the ministers and elders of
hundreds, not to say thousands, of congregations,
would have boasted of the attachment of Royalty to
their form of worship, to their doctrines, and to their
noncomformity to the Episcopal Establishment of
the State. They would have done more than that :
they would have eulogized th^ " magnanimity
of the Queen " and would have praised her
" for shaking off the trammels of education and pre-
judice." They would have gone still further; and the
cry would have been heard from hill to mountain,
and from valley to valley--" Long live the Queen
and the Church of Scotland !" The Queen knew all
this—she must have known it—but she preferred
principle to popularity, and she felt that it was her
duty to show to the intelligent, thoughtful, reflect-
ing, pious Scotch, that as they, in England, would
not seek the Episcopal churches of that country to
worship their I Icavenly Father, neither could she, in
Scotland, set so bad an example of indifference to
religious considerations and principles as an attend-
ance at Presbyterian worship would have implied."

William Hutton, a policeman, No. 60 K, said the
woman had been removed to the London Hospital,
and he received a very unfavourable account of her
from the surgeons, who said they did not think the
would come out of the hospital alive. There was a
frightful wound on the scalp, and 4
nother on the.) c 3 -
head. There was also a contused wound on herrts'l t
arm and other bruises on her persOn.
A certificate was produced, stating that Eliza Kerr
was in a very dangerous condition from the wounds
described, and that she could not be removed.
Mr. BALLANTINE said that he shoujd remand the
prisoner for a week, and if his Wife recovered suffi-
ciently before that time, which was not at all likely,
her husband would be brought before him or his
colleague, before the expiration of the remand, to
hear the woman's evidence. Captain Taylor, the master of' the Liverpool, said he
had attended with another gentleman to bail the pri-
soner, who was his carpenter and, a man of excellent
character, and mild disposition. He never had a
betterman in his ship, hut he regretted to say his wife
was a' person of very dissolute habits, and her mis-
conduct had nearly ruined her husband.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he could not take bail for a
roan who would use a poker upon his wife, and beat
her almost to death. it was a. shocking case of vio-
lence, and no provocation whatever could justify a
man in striking a female about the head and body,
as the prisoner had done, and if the woman died he
should commit him for murder.
A police-sergeant,
O. 16, K, said the prisoner's
wife was a woman of very abandoned habits.
Mr. BALLANTINE--T at.may be ; but we don't
allow people to be killed, however bad their chai•ac-
ters are. The prisoner stands *remanded for a week.

Mrs. Frances Anderson stated that she had also
been robbed last night of her bag and keys under the
same circumstances as the other complainants, and in
the same neighbourhood. She believed the prisoner
was the robber.

Police-constable, 71 G, stated that he had taken the
prisoner into custody, and afterwards searched him.
He had found on his person a number of ladies' bags
and other articles. (The articles were produced, and
a portion of them were identified by the complainants
as their property.) The prisoner said, after his ap •
prehension, that it was distress drove him to commit
the robberies.

The MAGISTRATE said that he. should remand the
prisoner, in order to give the ladies time to come for-
ward. He had never known, since the institution of
the New Police force an instance of conduct so
audacious as that of the prisoner. It reminded one of
those scenes which used to take place 150 years ago.
WORSHIP-S TREE T.
THE CASE OF THE WIDOW BRIGGS.—The follow-
ing donations have been received by Mr. Broughton,
to be applied to the use of Charlotte Briggs, the widow
of the poor cabman, who lately lost his life under the
melancholy circumstances detailed in The Sun of
Thursday, leaving her with an aged mother and six
children in a state of entire destitution :—Mr.
Stephens, 11. ; Major Blmire, 65.; E. R., 10s.; Anony-
mous, 10s; Mr. Pritchard, 1/. ; Anon, I/. ; A lady
Pall-mall East, 10s.; Frederick Pigou, Esq., Travel-
lers' Club, 3/. ; and a checque for Si. upon the bank-
ing-house of Messrs. Gosling and Co., from a benevo-
lent lady, whose name was not permitted to transpire.
Mrs. Briggs attended before the Magistrate in the
course of the afternoon, and expressed herself in suit-
able terms of gratitude towards the generous indivi-
duals who had come forward with such promptitude
and liberality to her assistance.
In answer to a question from the MAGISTRATE re-
specting her former position in society, she said that
previously to her marriage she lived for a considerable
time abroad, having filled the situation of English
governess in different German families of distinction.
The poor woman cordially concurred in the Magis-
trate's proposal to keep the money in his hands until
a favourable opportunity occurred of laying it out to
the best advantage for herself and family.
Wnt. Strange, the driver of Barber's Clapton om-
nibus, No. 4,904, appeared to answer a police sum-
mons charging him with furious driving.
Police constable, No. 233, deposed that about nine
o'clock on the evening of the sth inst. he was on duty
in Hackney-road, when he saw the defendant's omni-
bus and another approaching him at a most furious
rate ; both the drivers were lashing their hones, and
were evidently engaged' in a violent contest for the
lead.—Fined 40s.

CORONERS' INQuESTS.
...._____
An adjourned inquest was held yesterday even-
ing, at seven o clock, in the Admission-room of St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, before Ntr. Payne, the City
Coroner, and a jury, on the body of Joseph Ellis,
who died in consequence of injuries he received from
road o
having n
Monday evening last. been run over by an omnibus in the City-
The following is the only additional evidence given
last evening :
Henry Clarke, a cabman, stated that be saw the
deceased standing in the middle of the road, while
three omnibuses were coining down rapidly. The
deceased seemed flurried, not knowin
g which way to
turn. The omnibuses were about ten yards app..t—
they were not galloping. One of them knocked down
the deceased, and the other ran Over
him. The man
was driven about five yards by the first omnibus
towards the other, the wheel of which
passed over him.
John O'Neill, time-keeper to the Conveyance Asso-
ciation, at the Blue-coat Boy, stated that the Favorite
stopped at the Blue-coat Boy 7 •A- In.
nutes, being 6 mi-
rages beyond its time. The trope started at its pro-
per time, following the Favourite ; the latter omni-
bus crossed the other on the road. r
-n a few minutes
after, the deceased was brought to witness by the con-
ductor of the Hope, but witness had not seen the acci-
dent. The Favourite started oil like the shot of a gun.
In the opinion of witness, if the, pa..o
v urite had kept
its proper place, the Hope would not have taken the
course it did.

MODEL of ST. PETER'S at ROME.
The model of this splendid temple, now exhibiting
in Pall-mall, conveys a faithful picture of the great
original. The artist is Signor Gambassini, who has
devoted fourteen years to the task. The model itself
is on a scale of one to a hundred, but even on this
limited scale the base is twenty-five feet in length,
and the height twelve feet. Not only are the exterior
features represented, but as the whole is ingeniously
cut in half, and opens at pleasure, the interior is also
shown, with all its chapels, altars, confessionals,
statues, and paintings ; nothing has been omitted,
the very Mosaic marble pavements in patterns and
colours are distinctly shown by different woods ;
whilst the noblest monuments by Angelo, Canova,
and Thorswalden are beautifully carved in ivory.
We would strongly recommend thoSe, whose time
or means will not permit a visit to the "once mistress
of the world," to see this miniature copy of her
noblest temple; and to those who have already seen
the original, .to have their remembrances revived, and
those visions of architectural grandeur renewed,
which may now be perhaps forgotten.

Months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday Elizabeth Bailey, the woman charged on
suspicion with being concerned in robbing Mr. John
Marquis at Preston, of 1,9901., was brought before
Mr. Trail for re-examination, and Wm. Jovell appeared
upon his recognisances as accessory after the fact.
Mr. Clarkson attended on behalf of the prisoner::.
William Watson was then sworn. He stated that
he was landlord of the Railway Inn at Woodside, and
that he recollected the day on which two strangers—
a male and female—came to his house and had re-
freshment. It was on Monday, the sth instant. Ile,
however, did not take sufficient notice of them to be
now in a situation to identify them ; but that after
their departure, he went into the back-yard, and saw
what he at first supposed to be a piece of waste paper,
and on opening it out found it to be a 1001. note,
with a 10/. note wrapped up in it. He proceeded to
Liverpool the following day, gave notice of the cir-
cumstance at the principal police-station, and hills de-
scribing the fact having been circulated, the complain-
ant came forward and identified both the notes as
forming a portion of those of which he had been
robbed, as already described.
The notes referred to were produced before the
M7gistrate, and by certain marks upon them were
satisfactorily identified by the complainant as two of
those of which he had been robbed.

John Clarke, the conductor of the Hope, stated
that on the.evening in.question. William Thomas was
the driver of that omnibus. They had not started far
when the driver said to witnessthat there was some-
thing lying on the road. Witness told Min to pull
up; he did so; when witness went back and found
the deceased lying down in the road towards the
middle of it. Witness had not been anything. what-
ever of the man until he found him in the road. The
omnibus of witness was
goinggi .at the time at a very
the track of the
gentle pace. The man lying in
omnibus as far as witness could
judge but he had
not felt the slightest motion which could induce him
to thmk they-had passed over anything.
Sarah Ellis said that she was the wife of the de-
ceased, Joseph Ellis. He • was a labouring man, 40
years of age.

IL Burmesan, house-surgeon to the Hospital, stated
that he had seen the deceased immediately after he had
been brought to the Hospital on Monday night.. The
man had been drinking, and had not been quite sober.

MRS. lIOFLAND'S NEW. HtsTonicAr. ROMANCE,
" TIRE CZARINA."—The curiosity and interest excited
by the announcement of an historical romance, by so po-
pular and gifted a writer as Mrs. Ilofland, and on ft suh-
pet 81 fraught with excitement as that of the Court of
Russia at its most stirring period, the reign of Catherine
the First, has been amply`
justified by the work itself,
which has just nfade its:appt;ftrance. The extraordinary
state of Russian society at the period in question, and the
leading characters which figured in it, are drawn to the
life in one continued succession of vivid pictnres. The
Menzikoffi, the Dolgoroukis, the Woronzows, and all the
array of Russian nobles, from whom the existing aristo-
cracy have sprung, are here exhibited in their "habits as
they lived," and the drama they enact is as novel as it is,
striking. The pastry-cook, Prince, and Prime Minister,
Alexander Menzikoff, plays a principal character through-
out ; and his gentle but unfortunate daughter, at one pe-
riod a sovereign Czarina, and at another a Siberian exile,
is the heroine of the tale. The extraordinary nature of-I

ST. LEGER DAY.
Miracles never cease. The winner of the St. Leger
was never backed by Any individual soul for one
copper until the day before the race. No compliment
to the gentlemen of the Press, not one newspaper ever
included Blue Bonnet in the number of starters. I
will not, like some gentlemen who make a
boast of propheeying what will not. win, take
the slightest credit to myself for • declaring
my opinion last week about Attila ; I opposed him
on principle, and it now seems really as if the
same horSe was never again to win the Derby and St.
Leger. My letter, however, of Saturday last, will--
well bear a re-perusal. I said I would not hear. of
Fireaway, beRiTSF—EF•lll:lWered horse; some.
argue that he would have won if he had not (as he did
at Goodwood) stopped and kicked when the jockey
called upon him ! I said, Fireaway was sure to heat
Ballinkeele ; he (lid ! I said, if Seahorse had not run
at Wolverhampton, I should have selected him to
win. Many argue that, if he had never gone there,.
he would have won; there is no doubt in the world
that he was amiss on Sunday, and yet he runs se-
cond ! I said also, Eboracum must have deceived his
party amazingly if he was a good horse ; he was no-
where ! I named Rosalind to win. lam fairly beat ;
I confess it, and am nowise ashamed of myself. I
should have said thesameaftel the Derby, but I should
have told an untruth; Rosalind looked well at the
distance. It is rather fortunate for my reputation I
had never heard of the winner.- By Touchstone, sire
of Rosalind, my prediction might have been otherwise.
Who shall say ? My predilection for the blood is
well known. The pace was terrific, and I can only
presume Mr. W. Scott thought he was mounted on a
Don John. I said the Derby was a slow run. race,
and now who can doubt it ? Master Thomas, the horse
backed so much at the eleventh hour, was heat early
in the race. Overwhelming success has made you
over-confident, therefore careless, Mr. John Scott. The
immediate Scott party are heavy losers. They
backed their horses like men—like sportsmen—and
deserved to win. Mr. Dawson has now won Oaks
and St. Leger; Mr. Scott Derby. All the good
things this year have gone to the North. Lord Eglinton
is a large winner. Colonel Peel's luck is terrible,
always running second in great races.
It struck me that the attendance was not on a par
with former years. Certain there were not half the
number of ladies in the grand stand I have seen.

NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

NORWICH, SEPT. li.—The excitement exhibited
this morning in this quiet and peaceful town was quite
extraordinary. Every street was thronged with equi-
pages, and parties hastening towards St. Andrew :s-
-hall, and with crowds Of people .assembled to gOc on
the brilliant scene. Within ten minutes of the opening
eifThe doors, every part of the spacious hall was com-
pletely filled, and those who came aftern-ards' found
admission Out of the question. Before the perforMance
began, Professor Taylor addressed the audience, and
said, in thefname of the committee, that they had,oc-.
casion, for the first time, to regret that the Size of the
hail was insufficient for the company who wished to
be present, and that those who found themselves nn-
pleasantly crowded, if they chose to leave the hall,
should twelve tickets of admission to either of the
subsequent performances they might prefer. Besides.
the two thousand persons who filled the hall, „five
hundred at least could not obtain admission. •
The first part of this day's performances consisted
.of several fine specimens of ecclesiastical music.. First
of all, there was the chorus from Joshua, 4, ye
Sons of Israel," one of Handel's most sublime efforts.
Nothiug- can be more magnificent than the musical
phrase given to the above words, which is reVLT-
berated, and " tossed about from side to side,"
in the true antiphonal style of harmony. The fugal,
subject at the words, " Gilgal ant olls
banks," was taken up by the different parts in it Plan-
ner which should send the Exeter-hall chorister; to
school again. Miss Hawes then sang, in a beaut Val
manner,- the air "On the dwellings of thy children,''
from Schneider's Oratorio, the Deluge.. 'lt is aecom- •
panted throughout by the violoncello obligato, and.
nothing could be more charming than the union of
Miss Ilawes's deep contralto tones, with those of
Lindley's instrument: There was then a trio from
Battishell's anthem, "Behold how good a thing it is,"
admirably sung by Young, Hobbs, and Bradbury. ,
No person who had ever heard the inimitable.round„
" I lov'd thee, beautiful and kind," could fail to recog-
nise the composer of this exquisite trio. The organ
accompaniment was plaed by Mr. Turk, with the
utmost delicacy • and this beautiful anthem is one of
those "gems OF purest ray serene," which " the dark
unfathom'd caves of ocean' would soon bear, were it
not for the taste and judgment:of the conductor of the
Norwich Festival. Handers air, " 0 magnify the
Lord," \\*as-very beautifulky sung. by Miss,Bassano, a
young lady of great promise, but she must strive to
accomplish a better shake. Lastly came Dr.. Croft's
anthem, " Sing unto God."
Now came the great object of expectation, The Fall
of Babylon, an oratorio, by Louis Spohr, Maestro di'
Capello to his Serene Highness the
.Eleeter-Of„llesse
'Cassel, which same Elector, exercising his sovereign
will and pleasure, has been graciously pleased :to_re-
fuse- permission to the illustrious composer to super-
intend the performance of his work. It has fortu-
nately happened that this superintendence :has been
• committed to able hands ' • and Spohr's confidence in
his friend and coadjutor, Professor Taylor, .has been
amply justified by the result, for a more perfect per-
formance, and a more enthusiastic reception, could
not have been witnesssed. Both as a dramatic poem
and as a musical composition, this oratorio is entitled
to high consideration. The poem is, in the Strictest
acceptation of the word, an oratorio, or second musical
drama. Its subject is of the grandest 'description--
the destruction of the Assyrian power, and the resto-
ration of the Hebrew people from their long and,
seemingly hopeless captivity. Its incidents are few,
simple, and striking, such as can he rendered intelli-
-gible without the aid of theatrical exhibition and
action ; and its poetry is of,,a much higher class that'
is generally to be met with in the librelti of musical
compositions.
At present a short account of the subject of the
poem must suffice. At its commencement the scene
lies on the banks of the Euphrates, pear Babylon. A •
chorus of JeWs are bewailing their .captivity, and
crying to Jehovah for deliverance. Tie prophet
Daniel joins in their prayers, and predicts their ap-
proaching restoration. The scene changes,to . the
Persian camp ; and, amid the most animated'strahis
of martial music, the soldiers of CyrUs invoke tie
vengeance of Heaven on the criminal and devoted
city. Within the city, a Jewish mother is repre-
sented watching her sleeping chill, and weeping over
the unconscious innocent, doomed to a life of bondage
ina strange land. Herhusband enters, bringing jyyfid
tidings. Their inspired prophet has seen, in a fision,'
the long-delayed redemption of the Ilehrewi
race. In the second act, the zcene is laid in
the banquet-hall, in the palace of Belshazzar. The
Assyrian monarch is Isasting amid the magnificence of
his voluptous court, when the joyous strains of the
festive groups are interrupted by the dark and boding
murmurs of the Jewish captives, assembled, 'we may
suppose, round the doors of the hall. The King ad-
dresses them in terms of anger and contempt; and,
by way of insult, commands the rich .and sacred,
vessels, which once adorned the Temple, to bebrought*
before him and emploTed in their unholy festivitims
While he is exulting in fancied power end security,
the terrible hand-writing appears on the wall. •The
revellers fly in terror and dismay. The King calls*
for his soothsayers to explain the portentous prodigyk
and, on confessing their inability, Daniel, the Jewisli
captive, is called tor. While he is speaking, the:dis-.
tant march of the Persians is heard, and a.soldier,:
with breathless haste, announces to Belshazzar that •
the foe is upon him. Cyrus, by turning the course
of the Euphrates, has been enabled to enter the city;
the Babylonian empire is destroyed ; and t4e
verance of the chosen people is celebrated in songs of
devout and pious rejoicing.
Such, in tow words, is the subject of this sublime
work. Its music is characterised by all. the greatness
of Spohr's genius, and by his peculiarities of manner.
'But the traits of genius, as well as the peculiarities of
manner, must be reserved till another opportunity ;
in the meantime it must be allowed that The Fall qf
Babylon is the greatest work of' its class that has ap-
peared
since the days of Handel.
Its performance .was admirable. The dramati* per-
sow were cast thus :—Daniel, Mr. Hobbs z Cyrus,
Mr. Phillips; Belshazzar, Air. lialfe;' Israelitisli
Man, Mr. Young ; Soothsayer, Mr. Walton ; Persian
Soldiers, Messrs. Perring and Bradbury; lsraelitish
Women, Mad. Caradori and Miss Itainforth ; Nico-
tris (Mother of Belshazzar), Miss Rases. The
chorus consisted of Israelites, Persian, and Balsylp.
nian 3oldiers, and priests of Bel.
The performance was wonderfia Listening to it
with the score in your hands, not a single error could
be detected. By the regulations, no applause was-
permitted, but everybody accustomed to observe the
demeanour of large audiences knows thheenle• the
vulgar demonstration of clapping of hands, there are
many signs by which the general feeling can be 4s-
covered. The universal impre§sion is, that The FaR
of Babylon is the greatest work which its Liustriotti
author has yet produced, and the tidin''s of its success will console him for having been
deprived of the gratification of witnessing

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
DONCASTER RACES —THURSDAY.
Beeswing has been so long associated with the Cup at
Doncaster, that without her the race would lose its
chief attraction. For seven years in succession has she
competed with the best horses of the day. Com-
mencing in 1836, then three yrs old, she ran fourth for
it, Touchstone first, Carew second, Venison third, Gene-
ral Chasse fifth, and Flying Billy sixth •, in 1837
she won it, beatine. Cardinal Puff, Abraham New-
land, Egeria, and ° Dan Dawson ; in 1838 she
ran second to Don John ; in 1839 - she was
third, Charles the Twelfth being the winner, and Laner-
cost second; in 1840 she again won it, beating The
Provost, Charles the Twelfth, Maroon, Sampson, and
Vermillion ; in 1841 she also won it, having only
the Shadow to beat. From this enumeration it will be
seen that she has won it three times, and that in the
other three she was defeated by first-rate horses, all St.
Leger winners. The result of her seventh appearance
for it will be found below. The rak_e, it is almost un-
necessary to add, excited very considerable interest, and
the St. Leger settling having terminated comfortably,
the books were opened on Wednesday, and business to a
large amount transacted. A report having got into cir-
culation that the mare was lame, the odds changed from
6 to 4 on her to 5 to 4 on the field ; the offers agst Charles
the Twelfth falling from 4 to 1 to 5 to 2. These were the
opening prices on Wednesday after dinner, when, judging
from the betting, the lameness, if ever it existed,. must
have disappeared ; for, in the course.of an hour, a large '
outlay caused the odds to rise to 7 to 4 on Charles the
Twelfth, going back to 4 and 5 to 1 ; half an hour after,
the anti-favourite party came out in strength, and the
betting closed at evens on the mare, 9 to 4 on the horse,'
5 to 1 against all the three years old, and 7 to 1 against
the Shadow, who was backed for 2001. at 6 and 8 to 1 ;
Attila was mentioned, but had no separate price. These
fluctuations imparted greater interest to the race, and as it
was preceded by a two years old race, that brought out the
first favourite for the Derby, and several others engaged in
it or in the Oaks or St. Leger ; the company, which was
much larger than on the St. Leger day, seemed to care
little about the deficiency ct the list in other respects.
We subjoin the usual details of the sport :
