Lisette filly, North Star, Hydra, Meltonian, Beresina, Palais

Honest John, and L' Huile de Venus colt, went off without being
started by the Clerk of the Course, leaving at the post Caledonian,
Mereandotti, Claude Lorraine, and Etiquette, when the Rosanne
colt came in first, Barefoot second, and Comte d'Artois third. This
was decided by the Stewards and the Gentlemen appointed front
the Club to be a false start, and the race was run over again.
Ettsit START.—Sherwood made very severe play, and kept the
lead up to the Red House, when be was headed by the Comte
d'Artois, and some severe running then took place between the
Comte, larefoot, and Rosanne, the latter winning by only a head.
Tinker was beat early, and Barefoot was shut out In running.—
Run in three minutes, twenty-three seconds.
THI START.—The Comte made severe play until shoot two dis-
tances from home, when Barefoot came alongside of him and won
very easy by two lengths.—Run in three minutes 23.1 seconds.
Beroal TH2,FALSE START.--4 to 1 agar Tinker, 7to 2 agst Sher-
wood, 7 to 1 agst Rosanne, 11 to 1 apt Tancred, IS to 1 agst Palais
Royal, 20 to 1 agst Barefoot, 25 to 1 apt Claude Lorraine, and
20 to 1 agst Comte d'Artois.
ArTZIt Tar FALSZ STA 5e...-2 to 1 apt Rosanne, Sto 1 apt Bare-
foot, 7 to 1 agst Comte d'Artois, 10 to 1 agst Claude Lorraine, and
16 to 1 apt Etiquette. After the false start there was so much
confusion as to render it difficult to give the betting with accuracy.
It will be seen that Tinker did not start for the St. Leger, but
111 r. Watts is supposed to have made more money by this than by
any former race. linker, according to custom, where one person
has two horses entered, was of course announced to wits if he could ;
but the general opinion is that Barefoot was known to have the
speed. Scott, who rode Sherwood, had a large sum on that horse.
to which perhaps may be attributed his over-anxiety—he dashed
off at full speed, but could not maintain that pace.
Bets ran high as ty the number of horses that actually started.
-There were 27 who weighed and mounted ; hat after the fifth start,
only twelve came in to weigh, and those only caw be declared by
the Clerk of the Course as having started. After the fourth lease
start, before Mr. Pelrse would let Rosanne start for the 11th, it Was
understood that if he was not the winger' the case should be re.
**red to the Newmarket Jockey Club. But the Judge has de-
clared that he did not start the horses at the fourth false start. Seeing
them go off, be blew the horn, on hearing which the joekies turned
Chair heads, but none of them pulled up.

Oh, who shall lightly say that Fame
Is nothing but an empty name!
Whilst in that sound there is a charm
The nerves to brace, the heart to warm,
As, thinking of the mighty dead,
The young from slothful couch will start,
And vow, with lifted hands outspread,
Like them to act a noble part?
O ! who shall lightly say that Fame
Is nothing but an empty name
When, but for those, our mighty dead,
All ages past a blank would be.
Sunk in obliviorts Murky bed,—
A desert bare, a shipless sea?
They are the distant objects seen,—
The lofty marks of what bath becn ! -
Oh! who shall lightly say that Fame
Is nothing but an empty name!
When memory of the mighty deal
To earth-worn pilgrims' wistful eye
The brightest rays of cheering shed
That point to immortality?

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.

Yesterday, Henry Barden and John Elder, two young
men of athletic appearance, were capitally indicted for
assaulting on the King's highway, Villiam Thom% and
forcibly taking from his person 13s. 6d. on the evening
of the 13th instant.
The prosecutor, who is a working man, stated, that
on the night mentioned in the indictment, he was walk-
ing in the EJgeware-road, near the Hop Poles public-
Louse. The prisoners passed him, turned back, and
passed him again. Elder then turned round and knocked
tl!e witness down by a violent blew on the head. Bar-
don then. got ,ipon him, and knelt upon his stomach,,
bolding his hand over witness's mouth to prevent his
of

Two pawnbrol,•ers preyed, that a chain and seal were
pawnbd at their shop by the prisoner. These were the
property of the prosecutor.
The prisoner declared his innocence of the charge
laid against him, and called some witnesses to his cha-
racter.—The Jury found a verdict Guilty, withouttrou-
bling the RECORDER to sum up the evidence.
At five o'clock, when the Middlesex gave place to the
London Jury, the foreman of the former addressed the
Court on behalf of himself and his• colleagues, and
begged that they might be excused from further attend-
ance during the present Session, which was likely to
extend considerably beyond the period which the Ses-
sions usually occupied.
The RECORDER, after observing that he was unwilling
to part with so good a Jury, whose merits, he said,
pleaded against them in this instance, complied with
the request, and gave orders for summoning a new Jury.
James Smith and Rebecca Watson were indicted for
stealing a quantity of linen and calico, in value 261. the
property of Mr. Alderman Thorpe.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the 28th of
August the servants of the prosecutor made up a parcel
of goods, which were, according to order, to be sent to
Southampton. Mr. Thorpe's porter carried it to,
the
office of the Southampton waggon, in Friday-street,
Cheapside, and the parcel was put into the waggon on
the evening of the 25th of August. The property was
missed from the waggon on the same night, and was
found 'the next day in the lodgings of the prisoners,
upon whom suspicion had fallen.
The Jury found Smith guilty, and acquitted Watson.
John Smith was indicted for stealing three printed
bound books, the property of Lewis Marks.
It came out in evidence that the prosecutor, suspect-
ing that the prisoner, who was his servant, was in the
habit of robbing him, concealed himself for the pur-
pose of watching him on the 12th of August, and from,
his hiding.place saw the prisoner take three books from]
a shelf, and put them in his pocket. He was imme-
diately secured, and the books found in his possession :
they were a Prayer-book, a collection of songs, and a
book of dotes.
