living nearly fourteen miles from Lawshall, were passing the barn
of the prosecutor, when the latter observed, with a great oath,
that "he owed Mr. Snell a kindness, fur his son had sent him
to prison, and he would pay him off." Not lone after this
conversation they parted, and the fire having broken out at
half-past four o'clock, the prisoner was seen by two women
walking fast away from it towards his cottage, and past an
orchard. In the evening Ladbroke again fell in with the pri-
soner, and remarked upon the fire, wondering who did it, on
which the prisoner, with great vehemence, said, " B- you,
didn't I tell you I would do for the old After the fire,
the only thing I was afraid of was, lest I might be seen going
away before I reached the orchard." On the day after the
fire an inquiry was made, and all the witnesses now examined
being interrogated, gave the same evidence, which they now
did, except Ladbroke, who then omitted entirely the conversa-
tion after the fire, a course which he now attempted to justify
by repeating several threats of violence made to him at that in-
vestigation, in the event of his telling all the truth. At that
time the prisoner was not taken up, but the additional declara-
tions coming to light, he was recently apprehended, and com-
mitted to take his trial.

Jr.A PRENDERGAST having addressed the jury on behalf of
the prisoner,
The jury, at the close of the summing up, returned a verdict
of Not Guilty.

GOODWOOD RACES.—YESTERDAY.
The Goodwood Stakes, the heaviest betting race, and
to racing men the most important event of the week,
rarely aws so full s company as the more valuable
prizes run for on Tuesday and Thursday. The country,
people and the pleasure seekers from Brighton, South-
ampton, and other distant localities, usually reserve
themselves for the Cup, hence the attendance this after-
noon was composed chiefly of the visitors located within
a circle of ten miles of the course, to the sporting classes,
of whom the muster is invariably a bumper, and a small
accession by the special train from Nine-elms. The as-
semblage would, no doubt, have been greater but for the
wretched state of the weather. The privileged corner
of the Stand was again occupied by the Goodwood and
Molecomb parties ; there were also present, besides many
other persons of rank, the Marquis of Exeter, Marquis
of Waterford, Marquis of Clanricarde, Earl of Orford,
Earl of Middleton, Earl of Southampton, Earl of Suffield,
Lord and Lady Newport, Lord W. Powlett, Lord Ed-
ward Russell, Lord Adolphus Fe zelarence, Lord How th,
Lord Foley, Lord Juhn Fitzroy, Count Batthyany,
Baron Austen, Sir George Houston, Sir Henry
Mildmay, Sir William Codrington, Sir Charles
Cockerell, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Honourable
George Fitzroy, Hon. Henry Forrester, Hon. Frederick
Villiers, Hon. Horace Pitt, Hon. Captain Spencer,
Messrs. Scott, Stonehewer, Sloane, Stanley, John White,
Percy Williams, G. H. Moore, Leslie, John Stanley,
Nevill, Rush, Palmer, Gratwicee, Hawker, Shelley,

Des Vceux, Knatchbull, Brand, Goddard, Ramsbottom,
J. Bayley, &c. &c.
Of the racing this afternoon it is unnecessary to say
much by way of introduction. The engrossing event of
the day was the handicap, for which the field, reduced
by the withdrawals mentioned in our express from the
course on Tuesday, was confined to 23, less by half a
dozen than was calculated upon at the commencement
of the races. The office of starter devolved upon Lord
George Bentinck, and the race, it is almost superfluous
to observe, was brought to an issue without those disap-
pointments which so repeatedly occur at meetings where
the tockeys are not under proper control,—the certainty
of being fined for any infraction of the regulations
has so wonderful an effect on these occasions, that
horses, which, with a weak or incompetent of-
ficial, would be scarcely manageable, become quiet
as lambs when the noble lord undertakes the
direction of their riders. The race was a very
hollow thing—Miss Elis, the property of the noble
starter, winning in a canter by at least six lengths. The
rain, which had previously descended without intermis-
sion, partially ceased during the race, but came down
with renewed vigour immediately after it was decided.
The Queen's Plate created some interest, but for the
purposes of speculation was scarcely mentioned until the
numbers of the starters were put up.
Of these and the other events decided up to half-past
four o'clock, we subjoin such details as the shortness of
the intervals permitted us to collect.

The start took place exactly at the time fixed (half-
past two). Aristides, who had been restive and was led
to the post, jumping off with the lead, followed by
lEgis, Miss Elis, and a ruck of horses, including Board-
ing-school Miss, John o'Gaunt, and Naworth ; the Libel
and Pythia also lying in good places. At the distance,
Aristides fell behind the two fillies, and Agis went on
with the running to the turn round the hill, where
Aristides dropped further into the ruck, and Miss Elis,
passing /Egis, went on with a clear lead. On re-appear-
ing in sight Miss Elis and Egis were in the same posi-
tion, Boarding-school Miss, Giantess, Pythia and Not-
tingham lying up, Roderick and Lothario, who had been
in the rear at the earlier part of the race, having also
good places. They came thus to the last turn, in making
which 1E ;is ran against a post, broke it short to the
bottom, and thus lost too much ground to have any
further chance in the race ; the post fell before Lothario,
but without, as we could learn, touching or disappoint-
ing him. This accident gave Miss Elis a strong lead,
and increasing in every stride she ultimately won by at
least six lengths. Lothario took the second place on /Egis's
diaseppeerance, but was followed by ,Roderick, who
passed him at the distance and maintained his advantage
easily ; Ajax was fourth, Pythia fifth, and Venus sixth.

lowed by Queen of the Gipsies, and Psalmsinger; the
latter then went in front, with Physalis in waiting, was
never caught, and won cleverly by a length. Example,
Pic Nic, and Sir Francis, were close up.
GRATWICKE STAKES.—At the time our report
was forwarded yesterday we were ignorant that Cowl
had broken down badly in the pastern joints of both
hind legs, close to the hoof ; he was pulling hard at
the time.

Oar report of the first day's races was forwarded by
horse express from the Heath, but by some accident or
mismanagement on the road, having been forwarded by
the goods' trains from Guildford, instead of the eight
o'clock train, was not received until Wednesday morning.
The -poople at Nine Elms give a different version of the
affair.

THE Cur.—The Stewards have decided that Win-
chester is entitled to run as a maiden horse; his weight,
therefore, will be 6st 31b.

[ADVERTIAEMENT.]—.A. "RAND AND ARM COVERED
WITH WOUNDS CURED WITM HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
PILLS I—Thomas Main injured his hand two years ago in the
yard at Northfleet, which in a short time began to swell to an
alarming extent, and broke out from the fingers up to the
elbow into several ulcers. Not only was this poor man in-
csplble of doing any thing for eighteen months, but what was
worse he had been discharged as incarable from the hospital
after being there nine weeks. From this hopeless state has
this person been radically cured by Holloway's wonderful
oiqtruent and pills. Sold at Professor Holloway's Establih-
ment, 244, Strand, and by all respectable medicine sellers
throughout the civilized world.
Tun GREAT BRITAIN,-:=QII Sunday morning,
about six o'clock, this leviathan of the deep was seen 'off BeMist
Lough by the Fleetwood steamer Prince of Wales. She had all
her canvass set, and was apparently sailing very fast.
