MONEY AND CITY NEWS.

From the circulars of the brokers connected with the wool
trade, and from other sources, it may be collected that the
trade in colonial wool is in a progressive state. The series of
sales commenced on the 3d and ended en the 26th inst., the
attendance of buyers having been very numerous throughout.
The quantity of colonial wool offered for sale being greater
than ever was sold at any one preceding period, might have
operated injuriously on prices had the market been in a less
healthy condition. To the advance which took place at the
late German wool fairs this beneficial result is partly attri•
bitted; and it is also observed, that the importation is much
improved, especially from Port Philip. Out of 31,312 bags
of colonial wool there were 10,022 Australian, 7,272 Van Die-
men's Land, 8,673 Port Philip, 1,762 South Australian, and
3,148 Cape of Good Hope ; the quantities from New Zealand
and the East Indies being very trifling.
The Bankers' Magazine furnishes the returns of the cir-
culation of private and joint-stock hanks in England and Wales
for the four weeks ending respectively the 28th of June, the
sth, 12th, and 19th inst., and gives the following as the ave-
rage circulation of these banks for the month ending the 19th
inst., viz. :
Private banks
Joint-stock banks

Average weekly circulation of private notes in
England and Wales during the past month ...••• £7,637,523
On a comparison of the above with the returns for the month
ending the 2lst of June last, it shows—
An increase in the notes of private banks of £79,634
An increase in the notes of joint-stock banks of

Total increase last month
And as compared with the month ending the 20th of July,
1844, it shows—
A decrease in the notes of private banks of ...... £145,415
A decrease in the notes of j]int-stock banks of 181,547

Total decrease as compared with the same
period of last year
On comparing the above returns for the past month with the
total " fixed issues.' of the several banks, as given in the Bank-
ing Almanack for the present year, viz.-
199 private banks allowed to issue ............ £5,011,097
71 joint.stock banks allowed to issue 3,477,321

£i)458,418
It appears that the following is the state of their circula-
tion :

The private banks are below their fixed issue
The joint-stock banks are below their fixed issue

Total below the fixed issue

The above re,urn may perhaps be considered a criterion of
the state of the circulation no less valuable than that which is
afforded by the weekly returns of the Bank of England. The
latter form a correct -barometer of the foreign exchanges, but
the wants of the country are more truly represented by the re-
turns of the local banks. The magazine appends a remark
worth notice:—
_ _ _

In comparing the results which appear in our monthty
summaries of the circulation returns, it is necessary to bear in
mind that the fluctuations which may be noticed are, f,r the
most part, regular in their recurrence, and dependent on the
wants of our manufactures and agriculture at particular seasons.
Thus, we must remember, that in England and \Vales the
circulation is naturally higher in the spring months than in the
autumn—that it is highest about April, and lowest in August;
that in Scotland it is highest La the autumn, or about Novem-
ber, and lowest in March ; and that in Ireland, it is highest
about January, and lowest in September. All these changes
are regular and certain in their recurrence."

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CI RCUl7'.—Lewes, July 30.
CROWN COURT—( Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.)
John Swinard, 23, was indicted for buglariously and
sacrilegiously breaking into a certain chapel, called St.
Leonard's. Chapel, in the borough of Hastings, and steal.
ing therefrom a quart of wine, some silver monies, and
other articles, the property of the Rev. Charles William
Leslie.
The prisoner pleaded guilty cn Thursday to the charge
and the circumstances of the case appear to be of a most
extraordinary character.
It appeared that on the 21st March, in the present
year, a lady of colour, the wife of a gentleman of fortune
residing at Hastings, was interred in a vault under some
pews on the east side of the chapel i❑ question, and it
seems that a rumour had got abroad that a quantity of
valuable jewels and other costly articles had been
buried in her coffin. The chapel was left safely secured
on the night of the 24th March, but on the sexton going
the next morning a most extraordinary scene pre-
sented itself. The hassocks that were in the chapel had
been pulled to pieces, the coverings and cushions had
been torn off the pews, and the vault in which the body
had been deposited was fotr..d to have been forcibly opened.
Upon going into the vault it was found that the
lids of the leaden and wooden coffin had been
wrenched off and broken to pieces. The body had
been lifted up, and a pillow placed over the face of the
corpse. The clothes were pulled up and turned over the
middle, and the person of the deceased exposed. The
remainder of the appearances that were observed are not
of a nature to be detailed, and it will he sufficient to
state that the conduct cf the depredators appeared to
have been of a most disgusting character. The head-
dress of the deceased, which was a shawl, edged with
lace, was torn from her, and rent in pieces, and was
found lying outside the vault. The prisoner Swinard, it
would appear, was taken into custody with one or two
other persons shortly afterwards, and when before the
magistrates he made a statement admitting that he
and another person who was committed with him for
trial, were guilty of the offence. The Grand Jury,
however, as there was no evidence to corroborate his
testimony, ignored the bill against the other prisoner,
and Swinard was therefore the only person charged.
From his confession it appeared that he had heard that
the " black lady" was buried in her jewels, and a silver
crown and watch, and all the jewels she had got ; and on
the Sunday before the chapel was broken open, he saw
the other prisoner, and they talked about this matter, and
eventually agreed to try if they could not break open the
lady's coffin, and steal the valuables they expected to
find there, and they made arrangements for that pur-
pose ; and on the night the robbery was committed
they proceeded to the chapel, taking with them a pick-
axe and two crow-bars. They got to the chapel about
twelve o'clock at night, and having clambered over
the wall, they proceeded to the side door, and after
some trouble they succeeded in forcing it open, and
made their way into the chapel. They first pulled down
the boxes that were fastened against the walls to
receive contributions from the congregation, and took
out the money that was in them and divided it, and
then went to look for the grave of the black lady. They
pulled up the boards under several pews, but for some
time they were unable to discover the vault, but at
length, seeing some new nails, it gave them a clue to the
spot, and they forced up the entrance into the vault and
jumped in. Before this they had lighted a candle they
found in the chapel, with some lucifers they had brought
with them ; and by the aid of its light they searched
about for the coffin, and having found it, they forced off
the wooden lid and the leaden one, and got to the
corpse. They then searched the coffin for valuables, but
did not discover any, and upon this, according to his state-
ment, they were very sorry for what they had done.
The prisoner then described the beastly acts that were
committed in the chapel, and which are alluded to above.
The prisoner, when arraigned, as is befere stated,
pleaded Guilty, and
Lord Chief Justice TINDAL sentenced him to be trans-
ported for fourteen years.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Durham, July 29.
CROWN SIDE.—( Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
CHAItQZ or MURDER.—Louis Henry Goule, aged thirty
five, was this morning put to thebar to be tried upon the charge
of having murdered Emma Gould, his wife. The case has
caused great excitement in Darham on account of the esteem
in which the prisoner has been held by many people in
the neighbourhood, and the remarkable circumstances at-
tending the alleged crime, it having, as appeared in the evi-
dence, been induced by suspicions entertained by the husband
of his wife's infidelity. The prisoner held, up to the time of
his imprisonment, a high situation in the county police,
being chief superintendent of that body, over which Major
Wemyss is chief constable.
Mr. Matthews and Mr. Warren conducted the case for the
prosecution ; and Mr. Wilkins defended the prisoner.
Mr. MATTHEWS, in stating the case to the jury, detailed to
them the leading facts, the particulars of which appear in the
following evidence :
Mary Jane Giles, examined by Mr. WARREN—IS sister- in-
law of the prisoner's late wife. Had lived for five or six
months with the prisoner and his wife as servant. Was
present when the prisoner's wife died, which was on Monday
the 16th of June. On the Tuesday before (the 10th of June)
witness was present, along with prisoner and his wife. It was
about seven o clock. Prisoner said he could not eat his supper,
which was some cold beef. Witness asked him if he would
have a little ham and an egg. Mrs. Gould said, " Do, dear ;"
to which the prisoner answered to both, " How kind you
are." He sat a few minutes, and then got up and went out
of the house at about half-past seven. He returned again
about nine. As he came back, witness and deceased sat at
the window sewing, when prisoner passed. He appeared to
be in a pet with his wife, and grinned at her. Prisoner
was superintendent of the county police. On returning, he
came into the room where witness and the deceased were
sewing. He seemed flurried, but sat down, and then appeared
more cool. Deceased was sitting in such a position as to see
everybody that might come up the street. Prisoner then sat
opposite to the deceased. Prisoner then said to witness,
" Jane, do you think Emma (meaning deceased) innocent?"
Witness replied, " I do." He said, " Will you take your
oath of that?" She said she would. Deceased said, " Henry,
do you doubt my virtue? You wound my pride." She
arose then, and there were at that moment two gentlemen
coming up the other side of the street. Deceased said,
" There is Mr. Scruten and Mr. Jephson ; I will call them
in, and have this cleared up." Prisoner had often named
Mr. Scruten both to witness and to deceased. He had more
than once told both that deceased and Mr. Scruten
were too familiar. He had said so about two months be-
fore for the first time. It had frequently been mentioned
during that two months. Deceased proposed to call Mr.
Scruten in, and she was quite calm at the time. Witness said
to her, " Do, Emma, if he's a gentleman, he will speak the
truth;" and witness added that if she did not, she (witness)
would call on Mr. Scruten about it. Deceased then made to-
wards the door. Prisoner stood before her, and said, " Don't."
She answered, " I will." He again said " Don't," and de-
ceased replied, " I will, Henry, you know I am firm." De-
ceased went to the door, which was ajar, and went into the pas-
sage, and towards the streer.door. He did not hold her, but
followed her close: He put his right hand behind him, pulled
a pistol out of his pocket, and said, " If you will, take that
then," and fired it at her. She held up her arm, exclaiming,
"Oh God, Henry." She was hit, and said, "Oh God, I'm
shot." She opened the street-door, and ran across the street.
Prisoner followed her as quick as he could, pulled out another
pistol, took an aim, and fired it at her. He appeared to fire it
directly at his wife. Deceased was not struck by that, and ran
into a passage en the opposite side of the street. The pri-
soner immediately ran up the street, towards Mr. Jephson
and Mr. Scruten, who were at a short distance. Witness
saw prisoner fall, with one of these gentlemen. Can't tell
which of them. They appeared to be struggling together.
Followed deceased, and found her in the kitchen of a Mrs. Bur-
linson, who lives opposite. She went up stairs, and her arm
was bleeding very much, then returned to her own house,
where she desired to be attended by Mr. Green, the surgeon.
He not being in the way, she was attended by Mr. Jephson.
Witness knows that prisoner and deceased were on unhappy
terms. It was occasioned by his being jealous of her. The day
before he shot at her, she was making some calico drawers, and
she said to witness, " Put these away, Jane." The prisoner
was present, and said, " I've as many now as ever I shall live
to want." Somebody had mentioned that a raven had been
seen near. Both prisoner and his wife said they had seen it,
and deceased remarked that it was a bad omen. Prisoner had
been taken ill at about two o'clock on the morning of the 10th.
Decased called witness up in consequence. He seemed like a
man in a fit. Witness went for Mr. Stoker, Mr. Green's as-
sistant, and prisoner had some wine, and begot better. Never
saw him in that way before. He lay still and turned his eyes
up. At about three on the same morning, while deceased and
prisoner were both in bed, he said to her, " Emma, con-
fess—confess all you know." She said she had nothing to
confess. He said, " I've a dagger in my heart, either take
it out or push it further in." He said, " I've been a villain
to you ; what would your dead father and mother say if they
were to know that I had driven you to do wrong ?" She said,
" I have not done wrong, Henry. I have neither disgraced
myself nor my family." They were talking a long while in the
same strain. She appeared agitated at his not allowing her to
sleep, and said if he would not allow her to sleep she would go
to another bed. At breakfast he appeared very much better,
and in his usual spirits. He went out shopping with his wife
afterwards. In the evening, between five and six, they talked
of going to walk on " the Slopes," which are the walks on
the side of the river. They all went walking there, witness,
with her little boy, having gone there before, and waited for
them. Prisoner was then in good spirits. All that witness
noticed particular about him was that, as they were returning,
he stopped back, and looked about the banks of the river as if
looking for some one.
Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—On the Monday after-
noon, the 9th, the prisoner complained of being ill ; several
times begged his wife not to leave him, as he could not bear his
own thoughts. He several times expressed a strong affection
for her. His wife several times said, " Henry, you act in a
very curious manner, I cannot think you are in your senses."
Within the last fortnight he had often complained of his head,
and said, feeling his head, " I have it here." The wife had
advised him to be bled, but he said he wanted blood. He
danced about the kitchen, on the Monday, in a wild manner,
and presented a pint pot at witness, and threatened to shoot
her with it. Believes that witness's husband and prisoner are
interested jointly in some property, and that if the prisoner
were removed something might come to her husband. Witness
has not been applying for that property.
Edward,Corne Jephson, examined by Mr. MATTHEWS—Ts a
surgeon. Was with Mr. Scruten on the 10th of June. Had
been with him to the race course, and returned with him, and
they passed the privates's house about nine o'clock in the even-
ing. They had got about fifty yards beyond the house when
witness heard a shot and a scream. He stopped, and then
turned back, and immediately saw a woman, unknown to him
in appearance, rush out of the house. The prisoner followed,
and fired at her. The prisoner then stopped, and rushed, as
witness imagined, upon him (witness) and Mr. Scruten. Wit-
ness made his escape in the best way he could, for the man ap-
peasel to be mad, and witness expected to be shot. After run-
ning a short distance witness looked over his shoulder, and
finding he was not pursuing him, stopped, and then saw him
seize Mr. Scruten and throw him on the ground. Prisoner
then got on Mr. Scruten, and sat astride of him, and attacked
him with the muzzle of the pistol. Witness then seized hold
of the prisoner, and assisted Mr. Scruten to make his escape,
and then wi'ness made his own escape. Prisoner followed Mr.
Scruten through a crowd, and was immediate,y secured. Went
after that to see who might be hurt, and was directed to a
house opposite prisoner's. Helped deceased across the street
home. Then examined her, and found she was wounded in the
left arm. There was a circular wound, with ragged edges, and
deep, and the bone was fractured extensively. Could find no
shot in it. Ordered the wound to be wrapped in a wet cloth
and to be kept wet and cold. Then left, and returned in about
an hour, and found Mr. Green, another surgeon, there. The
wound was :on the fore-arm, between the wrist and elbow.
Witness picked up a pistol in the passage of the prisoner's
house.—[Produced it from his pocket; a small pocket pistol.]
The pistol was unloaded and the cock was down, with a dis-
charged nap under it.

Cross-examined by Mr. Wsi.xurs—Had "not the slightest
knowledge of deceased, and knew prisoner only slightly. Con-
siders the lock jaw, or tetanus, to have been the result of the
wound. Has no idea of its being caused by improper treat-
ment. He wrote a note to Mrs. Gould to ask if she desired
his further attendance, because he felt he was rather uneeri-
moniously deprived of the patient, and he thought it better to
write than to run the risk of flurrying her by going to speak
with her about it.
Mr. Stoker, examined by Mr. MATTHEWS—Is assistant to
Mr. Green, the surgeon. Attended Mrs. Gould, and was pre-
sent at a post mortem examination of deceased. Her death was
occasioned by tetanus, arising from the wound. There was a
bullet extracted from the wound. Did not see some violets in
an envelope at Mrs. Gould's. Heard her say she had received
some from Mr. Scruten.
William Green, examined by Mr. WARREN—Has been
thirty-three years a practising surgeon in Durham, and has
been the medical attendant of prisoner and his wife. She was
about thirty years of age. Was sent for to her, and went on
the 10th of June, at about half-past ten at night. Found the
wound wrapped up, and a pistol bullet might have produced
t. Visited her up to the time of her death. She went on
satisfactorily, but was in a very nervous and excited state. On
the next Saturday she complained of having caught a cold,
and of a stiffness about her jaws, from which witness appre-
hended tetanus. The next morning, at about ten, found her
in a decided state of tetanus, which, in the case of wounds, is
generally fatal.
Cross-examined by Mr. WATKINS— Has been the regular
attendant of deceased. Recollects the wound received by pri-
soner during the pitmen's strike—a wound on the head, inflicted
by a frightful weapon, a bar of iron. After that had observed a
difference in the prisoner's wanner. He has been in a very
excited state, and has had a wildness in his eyes. A concussion
of the brain induces great irascibility, and sometimes causes
the person hurt to lose all self-control.
Thomas Metcalf, examined by Mr. MATTHEWS —Witness is
a butcher, and lives near the prisoner's house. On the e►en-
ing of the 10th, he and Sewell, the husband of a former wit-
ness, took the prisoner in the street, just after the shooting.
They took him away to the gaol ; and witness was shortly after
called to return, as it was said that the prisoner had cut his
throat. Witness saw the pocket-book. They found him
bleeding from the left side of the throat. Prisoner said there
was something in the pocket-book which would show what he
had done it for.

Robert Booth, examined by Mr. WARREN—Is a gunsmith
in Durham. Recollects prisoner coming, on a Tuesday in
June, about a pair of pistols. He came into the shop about six
o'clock in the evening. He said on that evening that he had
had notice to be out that night—that he had had notice of some
smugglers, and that they were not good characters to meet
with. He asked witness to load them for him, which was ac-
cordingly done, and the prisoner received them so loaded. He
was not at all excited, but quite cool. Thera was a bullet put
in each pistol, as well as powder, and they were capped.
On cross-examination, Mr. Booth gave the prisoner a very
good character in every respect.
Several other witnesses having been examined for the prose-
cution to confirm the evidence already given,
Mr. WinKir•is addressed the jury for the prisoner, which he
did in a speech of about an hour and a quarter in duration.
The jury retired for about half-an-hour, and on their return
pronounced a verdict of Not Guilty, finding that the prisoner
was not of sound mind at the time he did the act.
This verdict was received with applause from a very crowded
Court. The prisoner immediately extended his hand to his
counsel, and to other gentlemen of his acquaintance around,
all of whom shook hands with him in congratulation on the
termination of the trial, which lasted from nine in the morn-
ing till near seven in the evening.
Lord Sandys, Commander of the Scotch Greys, in which
regiment the prisoner formerly was • Major Wemyss, chiet
constable of the county police ; Colonel Stephenson, and Ralph
T. Pemberton, Esq., a magistrate, were all called to speak to
the prisoner's character, and testified to his having been of
most respectable demeanour, and of a high reputation for hu-
manity and goodness of disposition.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Bodmin, July 29.
The Commission for holding the assizes for the county of
Cornwall was opened here on Saturday evening by Mr. Justice
Erle, hut Mr. Baron Platt did not arrive till Sunday evening,
he having been detained at Exeter by the trial of the pirates.
The business. as regards criminals, is rather heavier than usual.
There are charges of murder, arson, and sacrilege, and there are
twenty prisoners for trial. The cause list for this county is
very light, there being only five causes entered, and not one to
be tried by a special jury. On Sunday morning, Mr. Justice
Erie attended D►vine service in the church, and on Monday
morning the business commenced—Mr. Justice Erle presiding
in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Platt sitting at Nisi Prins.

The cases tried to-day have been of a most trilling descrip-
tion, the only one at all to be noticed is that of
John Pascoe, who was indicted for assaulting, cutting, and
beating John Cock, with intent to disable him, or to do him
some grievous bodily harm.
It appeared that on the night of the 12th of July, Pert, Cock,
and Edwards, who were gamekeeperr in the service of Lady
Bassett, were out on the watch for poachers. About three
o'clock in the morning they heard two guns fired; they then
separated, and went in two different parties in the direction of
the spot whence the reports had proceeded. On their arrival
at a place called Dry-grounds, adjoining her ladyship's park,
they saw the prisoner and a man named Trefoun with guns.
As soon as the poachers saw them they walked towards the
keepers pointing their guns at them. On coming up to them,
finding the keepers did not give way they began beating them
with their guns, and broke one of them upon the breast of one
of the men. Trefoun picked up Pascoe's gun, which he had
dropped, and fired at the keepers but missed them. Pert then
fired his gun at Trefoun's legs, but the shot took effect much
higher, and he was seriously injured. A dead rabbit was found
in the prisoner's pocket.
For the defence it was urged that the men were out
shooting rabbits on the sea shore, and they did not know that
the other men were game-keepers.
The Learned Judge having summed up,
The jury acquitted the prisoner of the felony, but found him
Guilty of a common assault, and he was sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment with hard labour.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Shrewsbury, Jul?, 29.
- - CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord DasissAis.)
The following case occupied the Court for many hours yes-
terday evening, and excited considerable interest.
Cornelius Evans, aged 26, and Richard Purcell, aged 21,
young men of decent exterior and deportment, and up to this
occasion bearing excellent characters, were placed in the dock,
charged with having, on the 23d of June last, feloniously made
an assault upon one Ellen Gough, and stolen from her person
a pocket of small value, and with having at the time of such
robbery inflicted blows upon the said Ellen Gough.
The prosecutrix, with some effort, informed the jury that
she was in the employ of a firm of dressmakers in Shrews-
bury, that her hours in the shop were from eight o'clock in
the morning till nine o'clock in the evening. That for
some time past she had suffered much from ill health;
that the medical gentleman who attended her had
stated, that it was absolutely necessary she should take
exercise in the open air; that this she had been in the habit
of doing every evening, after work, for some weeks past,
her companion and guardian upon those occasions being her
mother. Upon the day in question, however, it happened,
from some unexplained reason, that on her return home her
mother was absent. She left her father sitting in the house
and proceeded for her walk alone. When just outside the old
walls she observed two men, one in a smockfreck, the other
dressed in black. One of them appeared intoxicated, and tot-
tered to wards the side of the footpath. Feeling alarmed she
turned back in the direction of the town ; the two men fol-
lowed. These men were the prisoners. One of them (Pur-
cell) she had known by sight before; Evans she had never
seen to her knowledge before that day. Purcell caught hold
of her by the shoulder, saying, "We want some money." The
prosecutrix answered, " Indeed, but I have none for you."
Upon which the same prisoner remarked, " Oh, d— you, we
will see." The other prisoner (Evans) then seized hold of her
pocket and tore it from her side. Purcell, too, searched, it but
found nothing. The prosecutrix gave an alarm. Purcell said
to his companion, " D— her, let us kill her ;" to which the
other answered, " No; she will not know us if she sees us
again." Then Purcell began to take indecent liberties with
her person, and upon resisting struck her a revere blow
with his fist upon the left side of the forehead, which
felled her, without sense or motion, to the earth. After a
lapse of time, she could not say how long, she found herself
alone, cold and stiff, lying upon the path, the torn pocket by
her side. She crept to her father's house, relieved the anxiety
of her parents by her arrival, and then related to them the
cruel ussge she had received, described the persons and dresses
of the assailants, and on the day following she observed the
prisoner Purcell, at six o'clock in the morning, in New-street,
nearly opposite her father's door. The other prisoner (Evans)
she subsequently identified.
A great number of witnesses were called to show the pre-
secutrix was mistaken in the identity of the prisoners, and
several respectable people gave them both a good character.
Lord DENMAN summed up, and the jury, after a long con-
sultation, acquitted the prisoners.
His Lordship then disposed of two other trifling cases, which
finished the criminal business at about a quarter past nine.
Mr. Justice PATTESON had previously retired from the Nisi
Prius Court, having brought the civil business to a close at
half-past seven.
The Commission will be opened this evening at Hereford.

NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—lpswich, Julu 29.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
Frederick Holmes, aged 21, and William Wright, aged 29,
were charged with having burglariously entered the dwelling-
house of Joseph Gibbs, at Bilderton, and stolen therein a
quantity of sugar, tobacco, and currants.
Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr.
Power defended Holmes. _

' The prosecutor is a grocer, carrying on a large business at
Bilderton, about six miles from Hadleigh, where both the
prisoners live. For some time past Mr. Gibbs' premises have
been robbed to a considerable extent, and yet no clue has been
gained to the thief, whoever he might be ; while the ser-
vants and family of the prosecutor were each and all beyond
suspicion, he was utterly unable to divine how access was gained
to his property, as his premises never presented any marks of
violence. Being bent on doing his best to clear up the mystery,
Mr. Gibbs on each night made particular note of his shop and
its contents, and at last, en the morning of the 20th of April,
he was aroused at six o'clock by two policemen, who asked
whether his house had been robbed in the night. On getting
up he found that a quantity of sugar, currants, and tobacco
had been removed in the night time, but he was for some time
utterly at a loss to divine how the burglars had effected an
entrance to his house, till a searching examination having been
made on the premises, it was ascertained that the back house
door might very easily be opened by the introduction of a bent
wire through a hole which happened to lie most conveniently
under a wooden bar, its only safeguard. By turning the in-
strument round, any one from the outside could lift up the bar
from its socket, and on retreating from the house with his
plunder, he could as easily replace the bar, and so cut off all
traces of his proceedings. In order to connect the two pri-
soners at the bar with the commission of this offence it ap-
peared, on the testimony of a po iceman and a constable be-
longing to Hadleigh, that as they were on the look out on
Hadleigh-heath on ~the night in question, they saw the two
prisoners cross it at one o'clock in a cart, and go four miles
along the road to Bilderton, after which they lost sight of them.
Towards three o'clock, however, they saw the same cart and
men returning, and deeming that the time for their intervention
had arrived, they ordered the driver Holmes to pull up and
let them see what he had got in the cart. As he refused to
comply with this request, the constable laid hold of the horse's
head, while his companion proceeded to examine his cart.
This, as might have been expected, led to a skirmish, which
resulted in the escape of Holmes, while the other prisoner and
the cart, with its contents, fell into the hands of the assail-
ants, who, finding among the latter a sack of sugar, and several
pounds weight of currants and tobacco, drove on to Bilderton,
and alighted on the true owner before he was aware of his lose.
Both the prisoners, having been found Guilty, were trans-
ported for ten years.
A asoN. —Elward Albon, aged 25, was charged with setting
fire to a barn in the occupation of John Snell, at LawAtall, on
the 28th November, 1842._

Mr. Gunning conducted the cafe for the prosecution ; Mr.
Prendergast defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Snell, that his barn
had undoubtedly been maliciously fired on the day in question,
and the evi fence mainly relied on for the purpose of affixing its
guilt on the prisoner arose from the testimony of one Lad-
broke and others, to whom he was alleged to, have made certain
statements admitting of but that interpretation. According to
Latlbroke it seemed that he and the prisoner, who had been
charged in 1840 with some offence by Mr. Snell's son, a farmer,

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, for his son had sent him
to prison, and be would pay him off." Not long 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 1 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 vi.:lence 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.

Mr. 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.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.—YESTERDAY.
The Goodwood Stakes, the heaviest betting race, and
to racing men the most important event of the week,
rarely draws so full a company as the more valuable
prizes run for on Tuesday and 'Thursday. The count"y
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 donbt, 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 Clanricardo, Earl of Orford,
Earl of Middleton, Earl of Southampton, Earl of Suffield,
Lord and Lady Newport, Lord W. Powlett, Lerd Ed-
ward Russell, Lord Adolphus Fi.zetarence, Lord Howth,
Lord Foley, Lord John Fitzroy, Count Batthyany,
Baron Austen, Sir George Houston, Sir Henry
Mildmay, Sir William Codrington, Sir Charles
Cockerel], Sir Gilbert Heatheote, Honourable
George Fitzroy, Hon. Henry Forrester, lion. Frederick
Villiers, Hon. Horace Pitt, Hon. Captain Spencsr,
Messrs. Scott, Stonehewer, Sloane, Stanley, John White,
Percy Williams, G. H Moore, Leslie, John Stanley,
Nevill, Rush, Palmer, Gratwicse, Hawker, Shelley,
011iyer, P. Booth, Eaton, Delme, Ratcliffe, Osbaldeston,
Des Vceux, Knatclibull, 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 jockeys 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 lEgis went on
with the running to the turn round the bill, where
Aristides dropped further into the ruck, and Miss Elis,
passing Agis, went on with a clear lead. On re-appear-
ing in sight Miss Elis and lEgis 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 Agis 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 p ,st fell before Lothario,
but without, as we could earn, 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 lEgis's
diasappe,ranee, but was followed by Roderick, who
passed him at the distance and main tamed his advantage
easily ; Ajax was fourth, Pythia fifth, and Venus sixth.

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.
THE, GRATWICHE 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.
Our 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 people at Nine Elms give a different version of the
affair.
THE COP.—The Stewards have decided that Win-
chester is entitled to run as a maiden horse; his weight,
therefore, will be Est 31b.

worse he had been discharged as incurable from the hospital
after being there nine weeks. From this hopeless state has
