BETTING EXTRAORDINARY AT WISE'S.
One Tun, Jertnyn-street, last night, 12 o'clock.
Ever anxious to give the most early information to our sport-
ing friends of the popular news of the moment, we proceed to
give an accurate statement of the odds on the Doncaster St.
Leger, which will come to an issue on Monday next, and upon
which so many hundreds of thousand; depend.
Wise's Sporting Room was not so numerously attended as at
the same hour last night, but yet there was a gay and a specu-
lating set present; amongst whom we noticed what we call the
, Princes of the Legs, who de not condescend to travel in the
common jog-trot coach way, but who, as soon as their books are
brought and closed into a South country focus, start, post and
four, to the scene of action.

PARIS RACES—Sm. 7.
The races for the grand prize took place this day. The wea-
ther was superb, and an immense crowd filled the circumference
of the Champ de Mars. Their Royal Highnesses the Comte
d'Artois and the Duchess of Berry honoured the Races with
their presence. Nell, a Cozak filly, won in two heats, being
however closely followed by Rosiere. At the moment when his
Rzeellency the Minister of the Interior was about giving the
prize, the Comte d'Artois ordered both mares to be brought be.
fore his tent, and addressing the Minister, said—* Monsieur,
Nell has won the prize ; but as she cons. torn my son's stud,
the reward concerns me : give the prize to Rosiere."
A white scarf was then fastened to Nell's bridle (she belongs
to the Duke de ()niche), as having won the prize of honour,
and the 6000 francs, of which the prize consists, were paid to
Rosiere's owner.

SAILING MATCH.
The Sailing Match for a Silver Cup and Cover, which re-
mained undecided on Tuesday, was repeated yesterday by the
same pleasure vessels. They started again from Blackfrlars, to
sail to Wandsworth Meadows, and back to Cumberland-gardens.
The Waterloo took the lead going up, but the Spitfire was the
tint boat back, and consequently she won the prize. The For-
titude.was second. The match, on this occasion, was fairly de-
cided, and the Cup given to the winner.

•
A few days ago a woman was put to the bar of the
Police Court, Edinburgh, on a. charge of being drunk
and disorderly. The Magistrate said, if she would
promise to abstain from drinking spirits in future, he
would allow her to go without punishment. To which
she replied with great candour—" Atweel no, I'll
no do that ; I've ay ta'en a drappy whan I could get
it..a.and I'll do sae yet."
Jsiotns Dzraavrer.—Willimpo Stewart and Joust Gibson, both
boys under twelve years of age, were committed, a few days
ago, to the Preston Hesse of Correction, for attempting to set
fire to Mr. Joan Sernmsn's factory, GoOdshaw Mill, Burnley.
They had lighted a quantity of cotton waste, and placed it under
a carding-engine, daring the dinner hour. Meet fmtunateiy the
engineer detected the ire by the smell. • • '

A boat ascending the Ohio river was hailed by another boat,
when the following conversation ensued :—" What bolt is that ?"
" The Cherrysense." " Whence came your 0 Frbm Redstone."
" Where are you bound to?" " Ur:lest:nee." Who Is your

THE XING AT THE pROSSCUTION or LORD GLINT:
WORTH AGAINST CONSTANTINE MAGUIRE, ESQ.
Mr. Maguire was put to the traverser's bar, and
indicted for having on the 30:11 May, in the Four
Courts Marshalsea, violent!), assaulted Lord Gent.
worth. Witnesses on both sides were ordered to re.
tire till called fcr.
Lord Glentworth was the first witness examined.
His Lordship said, that un the 30th May last, while
in the yard of the Four Courts Marshalsea, and in
convenation wit,h a Mr. Boardman, that Gentleman
said, " Here is Captain Maguire coming, don't take
any notice of him ;" Lord Glentworth answered "No,
I am under a promise of honour to Mr. Ormsby not
to do it;' he remained with his hack to the Captain,
and did not turn around ; he heard Captain Maguire
utter a " pish," and shortly after received a blow on
the shoulder, then a second; a third was aimed at his
face, and warded off by Mr. Boardman.
His Lordship was cross-examined by Mr.RICHAIDS,
who addressed the Jury for the defendant.
Lord NOREURY charged the Jury in the following
words:--" Gentlemen, you have only to consider
whether two blows of a stick comes within the mean-
ing of an assault." The Jury returned an immediate
verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Maguire was then sentenced to three months'
imprisonment.

• COURT OF CONSCTENM
• CONDON V. CHARLES.
•
Saturday last, there was a very curious hearing in
this Court, before Sir JOHN K. JAMIts, in which
Condon, Esq. was plaintiff; and Mr. Charles, the ce.
lebrated magician, was defendant.
Plaintiff stated, that he sought to recover SOs. the
value of a hat spoiled by defendant ; that going whiz
another Gentleman, a few evenings before, to Mel
Charles's exhibition, in Grafton-street, his ft iend, who
had some knowledge of these matters, puzzled the
magician, and gave him some little annoyance he,
must confess ; on which Mr. Charles gave to each of
them a " fresh egg," keeping another himself; at the
same time saying, that if they would do exactly as he
did, three hot omelets should be produced for the
company ; he then broke the egg, and poured the
captains into his hat, desiring them to do so with their'
hats, which they did (here the gravity of the Magia
grate had to struggle with his risible facuhies) ; and
on turning their hats up, their hands and sleeves were
all bespattered to their great annoyance, while Mr.
Charles suffered no inconvenience, but produced
his omelet.
Sir JONlC—Perhaps, Sir, you would have done well to deJ
mean yourself like other Gentlemen at such an exhibition. M.s
Charles, will you have the goodness to go through the experls
ment here, for the benefit of the company ?
Mr. Charles bowed assent, amidst peals of laughter.
Plaintiff said that this was no treatment for a Gene
tlernan, and that the Public were concerned in such
an outrage asthis of Mr. Charles's, and that he walked
home at night without a hat.
Sir JOHN, with great good humour, then turned to
Mr. Charles, and asked what he had to say to all this
Mr. Charles—My Lor, I am sorry you and I are trouble vith
such a silly ding as dig is; Sir Garret Neville, I am told, dismiss
this worthy jantleman yesterday, saying much laughter, and ad-
vising him to keep de secret, and mind de ;dyke of Sancho Patna,
" The more you, &c." My Lor, in the language of your
greatest Poet—
" The very head and front of my offending bath this extent,
" No mere: pad am I in speech, being a
" Poreigner, and therefore little shall I grace
My cause in speaking for myself. Pet,
" By your leave, I shall a round unvarnish tale relate
" Of all, what drugs, what skarms,
" What conjurations, and what mighty magic,
• " I stain'd dig hat withal!"—(Loudlowester.) •
Dis jantleman have come writ his friend to my exhibition;
they den appear to know every ding as well as myself, and den
I thinks I rill try them; there was a much large' fashionable
company; my performances, either in science or slight of de
band, may be acquired; my tricks are all much easy—anybody
can do dem—dat is, when dey know how—( Much laughter).--a
My Lor, 'tis no laugh; you remember Columbus's egg s he say,
" I rill make dig egg stand on end." He too vas laugh at, bat
he tap de end on de table, and de ding was done ! 'by did
not the jantleman do as I did? Where is de oder jantlensan
He have more sense than because he have vex himself and been
' laugh at, to come and vex at and laugh at me. .
Plaln;lif—This is all nonsense, Sir, you ought to apologize.
Mr. Charles—Apologize, for what? Here is your hat (taking
it out of a handkerchief); you state it is spoil,- you throw it at
me on my stage, and den you say you go home uucovered ;
where is it injured (blowing on the hat) ; dere. HI. Lbr, Where • •
is it injured ?
Sir Jous.—Who knows, Mr. Condon,but the hat Jahr:proved
by this magic : it does not appear to me to be injured ; you should
have got Mr. Charles to blow on the hat before.
Mr. Condon.—Why did he not offer to do so?
Mr. Charles —Let him take his hat—" an egg today Is 'better
than ashicken to- morrow." He thinks, perhaps, your Lordship
and I are thickens ; but the Dutch proverb tell hint- " sobs
reckon dere thickens before dey be hatched."
A friend of Mr. Charles then begged he would rest
his case here. As no injury had been sustained, he
conceived nothing could be recovered* that Court.
Plaintiff.—l have paid 50s. for a new hat foe,dlCsite you made
• .
use spoil, and 1 look for justice.
Mr. Charles.—l make you spoil! Conte, sant, (taking two
full bottles out of his pocket,) here are two bottles .of strong
laudanum, taste them, take your choice, drink one of them on', I
do so; bete goes (swallowing the contents of the bottle amid
murmurs of horror and laughter): there, Sir; ah ! you no drink-,
dat show me you know better than doss a conjuror bid you: take
your hat, or shall we send it to the Mendacity, and be good humor ?
Plaintiff.—Mighty tine, Sir, but
Sir Joux.—Really, Gentlemen, such a cue as this is quite rare
here; I can give no damiges for what plaintiff has felt about hia
hat ; there is, I believe, no harm done, and I must dismiss the
case with costs.
The decision appeared to please the " greasy
rogues" in the Court below, who, like true-Paddies,
forgot for a time their own griefs and animosities to
" see the fun."
The parties left the Court in apparent good hu-
mour, and the beaver was borne by Mr. Charles's
servaatto the lodgings of the plaintiff unhurt.
