SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGHAM RACES (Cosmoses).
The meeting terminated yesterday, having, under several disad
vantages, produced excellent sport and proved highly attractive.
The weather, yesterday, was boisterous, the morning being windy
and the dust intolerable, changing as the day advanced to heavy
showers, and mud ankle deep; notwithstanding this, and although
It was known that his Majesty would not attend, the company was
both numerous and fashiousble; we observed their Graces the

Gibbons, Sir G. Quintin, Gen. Thornton, Colonel Wood, Colonel
Peel, and many other members of the fashionable world. We are

GUILDHALL.
Georg* Gay was brought up again yesterday morals& wheat the
Solicitor to the Excise atteaded.

The prisoner not giving a proper account u to hew be had be.
come possessed of the spirits, was convicted is the mitigated re.
salty of 1151. and in default of payment, committed for 5 mouths.
A respectable-looking girl, between 14 and 15 years of age, was
placed at the bar, charged by her father and mother with having
pledged not only almost every article of wearing apparel which
chanced to be left out, but her own clothes. The mother, will,
tears streaming down her cheeks, stated. that for some time past
her daughter had been in the habit of going from home, and sleep-
ing out for two or three nights together, and on her return laid
bold of any thing she could meet with.
Alderman ANSLEY admonished the girl, and regretted that she
should have brought disgrace upon herself and family, who ap.
peered to be very respectable. He then ordered her to solitary
confinement in Bridewell for one month.

BOW-STREET.
John Beek, a coal meter in the empley of Mr. Telledb, of the
Westminster Land Cad limes 011se, wee smused cm the
complaint of Mr. Thom Bread& deg dping debits certifying
the due measurement of coals, without having been present at the
measurement of the same, for which offence be was liable to a
penalty of ten pounds, and to be dismissed from Mariam.
Mr. Bradford called a witness who sew the cods laded at Huo-
gerford-wharf while the meter was net there, sad followed the
waggon to Colonel Mot's, in Bryanston-square, where the coals
were delivered with the tickets ; but
_ _ _ _

Sir R. Maxis, on looking at the luminous, which cbarged the
meterwith delivering the tickets to Absalom Abraham, the vendor
of the coals, was of opinion that that fact ought to be proved. This
not being done, the case was dismissed.
MARY-LA-BONNE.

The uncertainty of human affairs was strongly exemplified at
this place yesterday morning.
Daniel Ding, a good looking young man, very neatly dreutd,
was brought before Mr. Gamma, and charged under the follow-
ing circumstances, with obtaining goods and money by means of
false pretences. _ _ _

It was represented by Mr. Isaac Morey, of Park-street, Dor-
set-square, grocer, that the prisoner had lived for sometime in the
service of Mr. Robert Todd, of the Alpha-cottages, Regent's_
park, as coachman • and that notwithstanding he was discharged
by his master on Wednesday last, be came on Thursday to the shop
of the witness, and obtained fibs. of tea, 61bs. of sugar, a bottle of
soy, and other articles, in the name of his late mistress. He re-
turned again the same day, and borrowed thirty shillings, under a
pretence that Mr. Todd had sent bins to Piccadilly, for the luggage
of a young lady related to the family, and he had not sufficient
money to pay for it, and no means by which he could obtain any,
unless the witness would advance it, or he (the prisoner) wan
down to his master's country house at Hatchet. He came again
yesterday morning, to borrow five pound in his master's name, but
the witness having heard that he had left his situation, sent for a
constable, and had him secured.

To make the evidence complete, Mrs. Todd's attendance was
necessary, and that Mr. Shurey said could not be obtained for a
day or two, because she was at ligbam races.
Oh ! said the prisoner, they din not send me for the money, I
got it to pay for a coat of my own.
Mr. Gurrrrn—For a coat of your own ?
Prisooer—Yes, for a coat of my own; and I told Mr. Shurey,
If he would wait till I came out u Church at nine o'clock to-
morrow morning, I would make it all right.
Mr. Gairriss—Out of Church, Min ! what do you mean, you
talk nonsense.

The prisoner said something to Alderson, the gaoler, in a low
tent, and the gaoler explained—" he says he is going to be mar-
ried to-morrow morning, your Worship, and the moment he comes
out of Church ►e will pay for the things."
Mr. Giurrmr—l don't believe it.

Prisoner—l assure you it's true. Sir. and the lady lam going
to marry has a fortune of ,1500, and I am not afraid to mention
her name.

I don't want to know her name, said Mr. Giumra, bat I am
certain you will not be married to her to-morrow morning.
Prisoner—l certainly shall.
Mr. Gammas—Yost certainly shall only find instead of going to
Church you are going to prison, and I doubt very much whether
abe will ever marry you at all.
It afterwards came out, that the 50s. were to keep the tailor
quiet about the wedding-coat; the tea and sugar were provided
for the nuptial feast ; the in, if they bad been obtained, were to
pay fora license and discharge the fees; and all was to be made
right with the dowry of the bride.
Mr. Gamma remanded the prisoner without fixing a day for
his re-examination, until it is ascertained when Mrs. Todd can
attend.

QUEEN- SQU A RE.
John Warboy, the driver of one of Mrs, Mary Horoe's branch
Brighten coaches, appeared to an information laid against him by
Byers the informer, for carrying a quaudty of luggage on the roof
of the coach above the height allowed by Act of Parliament.
The informer's witness proved that op the 6th of August the
coach the defendant was driving is Parlament-street had luggage
on the coach dt inches above the height allowed.
The Magistrates convicted the defendant in the mitigated penalty
of 151. and costs, the lowest sum being Ms. per inch.

THAMES POLICE.
Thomas Williams, a man of very wretched appearance, was
charged with committing a burglary on the premises of Messrs.
Shear and Son, founders, ShadwelL
It appeared in evidence that the warehouse of Messrs. Shears'
factory bad been repeatedly entered during tie night time, and
upon each occasion quantities of metal were stolen. Suspiciou fell
upon the workmen, as the robbery could only have been accom-
plished by persons well acquainted with the premises. •No doors
or windows appeared to bare been forced, and every body was
quite at a loss to guess how the thieves got into the house. At
length it was determined by the workmen in the factory that two
of them should conceal themselves in the warehouse and keep
watch. On Wednesday night they concealed themselves in the
warehouse, and between one and two o'clock In the morning they
heard a noise on the root like the removal of the tiles. They re-
mained quiet, and presently seem, of the tiles were taken or, and
they perceived the figure of a man drop from the roof into the
warehouse. The man then proceeded to a forge and provided him-
self with a bar, forced open a door, and entered the room where
the new metal was kept. The two men then rushed from their
place of concealment, and secured the person, who was the pri-
soner. Upon bringing him to the light, they were thunderstruck
at finding they bad secured a former fellow-workman, and a rela-
tive of their employers. The prisoner admitted that be had en-
tered the premises to rob them. Ile said nothing in his defence,
and was committed for trial.

-
The following case may serve to warn people from
catching cold through their own folly, and from delaying the pro-
per remedies :—A young gentleman, residing in Bedford-row, was,
a short time ago, about to be curried to a deserving and afiluent
young lady, be having completed his studies in the law. The wed-
ding-day was fixed, and the happy couple anticipating all the blew-
lags apparently hovering otter their future life, when the lady went
to a ball lightly clad. Neat morning she was attacked with a sore
throat, but paid no attention to it, although her lover waned her
of her danger, and endeavoured to persuade her to submit to take
medicine. She,i however, contented herself with saying it would
soon go off—'l it was only a cold." In three days more she could
not swallow, from the swelling of the internal parts of the throat ;
and, to save bee from suffocation, an operation was immediately
proposed. This was permitted, and was performed by two able
surgeons. When the tumor was penetrated, that accident which
often happens deprived bet of life—the contents of the tumor suf-
focated her.
