WORCESTER HERALD.

Combining the quantity with the qUality of the sport at
our Races, we question whether a more successful meeting
than the present has proved has been known on our course
since the first establishment of the races. On the first day
six heats were ran, and on the second as many as eleven;
and barring Dude's fall In the opening race on Tuesday
(happily with no other disagreeable results to the horse or
the rider than the loss of the stakes), each beat was, al-
most without an exception, a severe contest—was run
honestly and closely, and the winners were put to their
best powers to obtain the prise. We need scarcely say,
that diversion of this character gave general satisfaction,
and the delight and gratification it evidently afforded to
goons of the oldest frequenters of the turf, are a test of its
excellence. The betting was animated, some considerable
sums changed bands, and the variance of the results with
the statement of the odds, will show that the " knowing
ones" were, in many instances, not a little out in their
knowledge!
The Anniversary meeting of the subscribers and Mends
of the Worcester Infirmary was held yesterday. The sermon
upon the occasion was preached by the Rev. Matthew Lunn,
M. A. Vicar of Hempoey, before a fall and most respect&
ble congregation, and at the close of the service a collection
was made, as usual, in aid of the funds of the charity,
which amounted to 281. 7s. 64d. In the afternoon, a party
of the governors of the Institution dined together at the
Hop Pole inn, the Hon. T. H. Foley, M. P. the president
for the present year, being in the chair. We are sorry we
cannot state the affairs of the charity to be la that prosperous
and satisfactory condition its merits and great utility would
lead us earnestly to desire. Owing to a considerable dd.
e in the amount of legacies received during the last 12
two s, compared with former periods, the receipts of the
year have fallen far short of the general expenditure of the
hospital (although in such expenditure no material increase
has taken place, notwithstanding, in the words of the re-
port, " increased accommodation has been afforded by an
additional number of beds,") and the consequence is, the
accounts present a heavy balance as due to the treasurer.
The bill empowering the magistrates of this county to
erect new courts of justice, with suitable lodgings for the
judges demise, lee. has passed through its various stages
in the House of Lords, and the House of Commons having
concurred in the amendments made therein, the bill now
awaits only the Royal assent to become law. The bill au-
thorises the magistrates to raise upon the rates of the county
25,0001. in order to carry its objects into effect, and the re-
payment of which, with the interest, is restricted to not lees
than ten or more than twenty years. The amount in
question is about Bd. in the pound on the rental of the
county ; but although 25,11001. is named as the maximum
to be levied, as the county already poetesses a site for the
edifice, it is understood that the sass of secedes will be con-
siderably short of that sum.
The freemen of Worcester, resident in London, have
a petition to the House'ef Commons in favour
of motion of which Mr. Ramon has given notice, vie.
that a clause be inserted in the reform bill to the effect,
• that all the present rights of voting in elections of cite.
sans and burgesses to aft hi Parliament (except such rights
es
appertain to boroughs enumerated in schedule A) may
be permanently preserved?
Hor hrracreence.--Worcester, Aug. 12.—The duty
was up to £145,000 a few days ago, but Is down again to
£140,000, in consequence of the increase of mould in some
districts. In our Oantation the complaint of mould is not
so general as in Kent, &c. but In some yards Are very mach
affeeted, but the duty is consequently lower.
°iron, Ctacerr.—Hereford APSISCS terminated late at
Saturday evening. The calendar contained 48 risonen,
against 20 of whom judgment of death was recorded. h.
eluded in this number war—Thomas Drew, convicted of
stealing two horses from W. Rudge. Esq. at Weston-under-
Penyard. The prisoner occupied a small farm adjoining the
lands of the prosecutor, and is supposed to have been an.
fleeted with a gang of horse-stealers. James Powell, far
picking pockets in the city of Hereford, was ordered to be
transported for 14 years, and three other prisoners to 7
years. Susan Connop and Joseph Pugh, indicted, the
former for the wilful murder of Walter Carwirdies, at
Hereford, on the 116th of March last, and the been as
an accessary, after the fact, were acquitted. Joseph While,
late of Eccleswall's Court, in the parish of Linton, EA.
ler, a bankrupt, arraigned for not surrendering hitsslif
to the Commissioners, was 'also acquitted, but ordered Si
be detained to take his trial at the next assizes for perjury,
in rendering untrue and fictitious accounts of his affairs is
the same Commissioners. In the case of John Davies,
and Ann his wife, indicted for manslaughter, in having,
by a series of ill treatment, caused the death of Sarah W
llama, who had been placed their service by the robe of
Pembridge ; both prisoners were declared not guilty, but the
judge most strongly deprecated their conduct, in having
punished the girl in a most berproper way for some ad&
behaviour' by fastening her to an iron chain whisk me,
suspended to the ceiling ! The prisoners received a psi

This was an indictment for an assault and fktiereuieg 6

Parsons, bad been examined inseggest by Mr.
Whateley, the defendants agreed to pay the peyessetay the
sum of ty pounds. and were discharged. The Learned
Judge, Mr. Justice Patteson, observed that it was a very
serious case, and that if thc,prostcution had gone on, and
the defendants had been found guilty, a severe example
would have been made of them. At•Nist Prise, an melee
for libel was tried, SOUS V. Device, clerk. The
was a shoemaker, at Brecon, and parish clerk of Bt. Mary'
Church, of which the defendant, Archdeacon Dariesotai the
vicar, and the libel was contained in a notice posted en the
church door in January last, by order of the vicar, Inform.
ing the parishioners that he had removed the plaintiff free
his office of clerk, in consequence of his having dammed
that be bad defrauded the parish of money, and otherwise
misconducted himself. The Archdeacon afterwards stewed
this statement at a meeting which was called to investigate
the matter, with the addition that he had defrauded the
parish of the sum of 6001. The Jerry found for this Oahu
tiff—Damages 1501.

Such has been the depreciation of property in
Denmark that, according to a recent traveller in
that country, an estate of 300 acres, with an ele-
gant mansion, built at an expense of 20,0001. has
been recently sold for 1,2001., and the purchaser
accommodated with a delay of two years to pay the
money in.

EITILAORDINAILY PERFORMANCII or Pi-
azoxs.—Our Readers are aware of the grand Antwerp
match, which has given rise to one that some hundreds of
pounds will eventually depend on. Mr. Richard Clarke,
Fish Salesman, of Billingsgate, has reared some pi.
geons for the purpose • and accordingly on Tuesday, four
of them were sent by the Margate Steam-Packet, under the
care of Mr. Brockman, who "threw" them up about the
miles on the western side of Margate. The birds had to
encounter the heavy storm of thunder and lightning, and er.
rived at their, "dormser," (pigeon-house) one minute within 3
hours. Yesterday the pigeons were again sent down by she
Royal Wiliest, and reached home two minutes and a qua%
ter within the limited time, two hours and a half. The pi.
geon house is situated near London-bridge, so that the bird.
must have performed the distance of 71 miles over Iwo
in the time stated. What renders the performance
of the birds the more extraordinary is that the whole
four came home within two minutes of each other. A
meeting of the Fish-salesmen is to be held in the tours,
of the ensuing week, at the house of Mr. Clarke, who na*
offered to bet 100 L the same birds will do the dists.:ce i.,
two hours and 21 minutes.

The 16th Init. aged 55,
enmonger, of Long-acre.
