FRACAS AT NEWMARKET.—RACE COURSE,
APRIL 1 morning Mr. Georg, Hawkins rode up
to the carriage window of Lord Wharnciiffe, on the course,
and in a loud voice, before all the ring, addressed the no-
ble Lord in the following terms :—" My Lord Wharneliffe,
I have this day come on the course purposely to tell you,
that your conduct towards me has been oppressive, arbi-
trary, and ungentlemanlike ; and that I shall take every
opportunity, and at all times, to tell you that you are
no gentleman." Mr. Hawkins was subsequently ar-
rested on a peace-warrant, at the suit of Lord Wharn-
cliffs. He was required to find bail in the sum of 1:0001.
himeelf, and two sureties of 1,0001. each. The Marquis
of Blandford, and the Hon. George Charles Agar, became
his sureties, and Mr. Hawkins was released.

A splendid instance of public spirit has re-
cently occurred at Calcutta, in the case of the two sons of
the late Maharaja Sookmoy. These gentlemen have, with
a munificence which does them infinite credit, presented a
Lac and Four Thousand Rupees for distribution amongst
several of the principal Institutions of Calcutta, founded
for the purpose of Charity or Education.

The leader of the Tartar rebellion against the
Chinese throne is, in the Peking Gazette, called Chang-

SURREY REFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE...-.
The Committee of management of this laudable Institution,
reported their accounts, this morning to a public Meeting.
Sir Robert Inglis in the Chair. Present—Mr. Denison,
M.P., the Rev. Mr. Burt, Mr. Striven, Mr. Hedger, and
a great many county magistrates.
THE HAYMARKET THEATRE.--This

Mr. Crook, an English phrenologist, has dis-
covered a new organ, which he denominates quotativeness ;
it is situated immediately anterior to the organ of destruc-
tiveness. This organ is a diagnostic of the love of eating,
and we presume that it is pretty generally developed in all
mankind. Perhaps by hammering down this organ, the
dyspepsia may be cured.

A PROVIDENT.—On Saturday last, James
Boot, convicted of putting off forged M. Bank of England
notes, suffered the sentence of the law in front of the county
gaol at Warwick. On the morning of his execution he
particularly requested that a clean shirt might be well aired
for him, and that he might be allowed to go to the place of
execution with a silk handkerchief tied round his head, as
he was so liable to take cold !—Lincoln Paper.
IMPERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY. A
most extraordinary proceeding has been adopted by some
persons who have claims against this Company. Instead
of proceeding against some few persons of known property,
for the recovery of the sums due to them, they have threat-
ened every person who was a Shareholder, amounting to
some hundreds, with legal proceedings, if the sums be not
paid before Monday. A meeting has been convened for to-
morrow, at Batson's Coffee-house, to consider what steps
it will be advisable to adopt for the arrangement of the
claims.

MA T RIM ONY.—A number of gentlemen have
of late, improving on the example of Neddy Bray, of
X.Y.Z. celebrity, been advertising in a London Paper, of-
fering, on accommodating terms, to share the sweets of
matrimony, with one, no doubt expected to he selected
front a crowd of fair applicants. Would it not be advisa-
ble for some man of speculation to open a Human Tatter-
sall's, where the creatures might be trotted out and shown
off in all their paces to advantage ? England is considered
a mercantile country, and it is all fair that the metropolis
should afford a Mart where honourable and tender affec-
tions may be bought and sold, for the better accommoda-
tion of those lonely swains.—Lcinster .Journal.
The following story appears in one of the
books of the Hindoos :—A Brahmin, who had been guilty
of the
greatest crimes, was devoured by wild beasts—his
bones only remaining. A crow took up one of these bones,
and was carrying it over Ganga, when another bird dart-
ing upon it, the crow let the bone fall. As soon as the
bone touched Ganga, the Brahmin sprang to life, and was
ascending to heaven, when the messenger of Yama, the
judge of the dead, seized him as a great Pinner. At this
time Narayana's messengers interfered, and pleaded that
the sins of this man, since one of his bones had touched
Gangs, were all done away. Appeal was made to Vishnoo,
who decided in the Brahmin's favour.

The lady of the late General Gouras, a most
beautiful woman, was killed in a sortie which the garrison
of the Acropolis made after the engagement in the Piraeus.
After Gouras' death she kept a large party of Palicares,
who had been much attached to her husband, with her ;
she performed all the duties of a brave and experienced
officer, and defended the post confided to I.er in the citadel,
most gallantly ; but she fell a victim to her courage and
hatred of the enemy, whom she beheld with indignation in
her native town. Bearing her husband's arms, she preci-
pitated herself impetuously into the midst of the enemy's
columns ; her Palicares pushed forward twice to retain her,
and to protect her from the danger to which she was ex-
posing herself; but unable to prevail upon her to return,
they surrounded her, endeavouring to afford all the protec-
tion in their power. They fell in with an enemy's detach-
ment in some part of the town of Athens, and attacked it.
But the Turks seeing a brilliant armour, charged simulta-
neously this heroine ; she received a sabre wound in the
right shoulder, and in this manner she followed her hus-
band. After the Turks were driven away, her body was
carried into the Acropolis, where she received the last
honours, and was deposited alongside of her husband.
