GRAND TROTTING MATCH.

Captain Crawford's b. in. started at Bourne-Lees, I.eiceste!•
shire, on Thursday, to trot in harness, 28 miles in two hours, for
1.000 guineas. This is the same mare (Berthas) that did la miles
in one hour (saddle) a few weeks since upon the trot. The ground
upon this occasion was two miles of turf and road, and betting was
six to four on time, the task Dever having been performed but upon
two occasions. The .catch was done as follows :

The King of NAPLILS is proceeding in his popular
course. He made his public entry into the capital on
the S.h of March, after issuing a general amnesty tothe
inhabitants elCaltanisetta for the part they took in resist-
ing the invasion of the Antrians in 1821. His M&JrsTt
has restored to the city the title of Most Fai•hful,
which it enjoyed previous to the disgrace it suffered
for defending itself against the Austrians. Trtis mea-
sure seems to be of a very marked character, especially
when we couple it with the KING'S refusal to meet the
Emperor of AUSTRIA at Milan.
JEWISH Swounza.—Bills of indictment for a grand
larceny, to be tried at the next Commission at the Old
Bailey, were on Wednesday last found against Hatrig
Brandion, the Russian Jew, who at present stands
charged in three cases of swindling. One of the
Bow-street patrol endeavoured last night to apprehend
him, (for the former charges only amounting to a mis-
demeanour, he was admitted to bail), but did not suc-
ceed in his caption. However, as the rfficers are now
on the alert, little doubt is entertained of his being
brought to justice.
Seamen are uncommonly scarce in this port at present.
Many vessels have been obliged to put to sea short of
their full complement of men. Wages have in conse-
quence risen considerably within the last week. We
understand that Si. 10s. per month has, in marry cases,
been given for able-bodied seamen.—Liverpool Paper.
Some daring thieves on Wednesday night effected
an entrance into the house of Mr. BRAIIAII, the singer,
in Baker-street, Portman-square, by forcing open a
window of the laundry, which they plundered of a
quantity of wet lines.
The horse shoes of Newcastle on Tyne, on S tturday
last, struck for an advance of Ss. per week, which the
masters have complied with. The masons have de-
manded an advance of 4s. per week.
A FILIIIALI CONSTABLE.—The established usage at
Hatton-Garden Office, of hearing warrants only during
the day, was interrupted, through the active exertions
and powerful appeal to justice, from Molly Toomey,
who, about a week ago, under the title of a warrant,
kindly procured an order for adm;ssion for her hus-
band, Mr. Larry Toomey, into his Worship's presence.
It appeared that the execution of this warrant was en.
trusted to Thisselton, the Officer, but Larry having
been employed at work in Highgate, he found, besides
the advantages of good air, many other com'orts to in-
duce him to sleep in the country rather than at home.
Of course the Officer got no trace of him; but Molly,
with becoming vigilance, p tunced upon her sr use on
Thursday night, and taking upon herself the duty of a
peace-officer, she dragged Larry to the Office. When
the parties were introduced to the Magistrate, the col.
lowing dialogue took place ;
Magistrate: What is your complaint, my good woman?—.
Molly : There's no living with him, your Honour, for he's always
killing me day after day.—Magistrate: When did be strike you
last?—Motly : The day before Wednesday, your lionour.—
Magistrate: And when did he strike you before that?—bloily:
The day after; Wednesday, your Honour.—klagistrate: Have
you any witnesses?—Molly : Eggs, I have, in truth.—Magistrate:
'llse produce your witness.—Molly : Loan, there he is to the
i Larry himself is my witness.
—Here the case for the prosecution closed.. Larry,
when called on for his defence, assured his Worship
there WAS no killing his wife, or doing any other goo.t
with her, she was such a devil. She had •• sourd or
popp'd " all his clothes, and the garments on him were
borrowed from Nick Flaherty, to look genteel before
his Honour. In proof, it was stated that Molly popp'd
Larry's Sunday coat to pay the law expenses.—The
Magis rate cautioned Molly in future neither to near
nor pop the breeches, upon which she withdrew, with no
evident intention of profiting by such counsel.
SINGULAR Cuoaoa.--The following extraordinary
letter appeared in the Dublin Morniag Post of Wed-
nesday last :
