Thirteen started, but only three were placed: —2 to 1 agst the
winner ; sto 1 agst Jock ; 6to 1 agst ; 7to 1 agst
Tressill;wt ; and 100 to 4 agst Northwester. Every inch of the
gtound was run at speed ; Reginald, rode by Buckle, made the
play, and when within half a mile of home Gustavus passed hint
and the race became a severe one, between the three placed and
Lord FAILEMONT'S Octavius colt, out of Truth's darn ; but Gus-
tavus, rode by Dan, kept the lead, and won by half a length.
It was a. near the public running of the same horses at the late
Newmarket Meeting as the best judges anticipated. Jock be-
came a favourite because Sam Chiffney rode him, and Reginald
kept his place because Buckle steered him ; but Gustavus is the
best horse. _ _ _ _

The Downs never were better attended, and the brilliancy of
the assemblage never was exceeded. The QUSEX arrived on the
ground before one o'clock, in a carriage and tour, and she took
her station on the rise of the bill during the Derby race. On
her M argrrv's arriving on the Course, and on quitting it, she
was loudly cheered.
The rain deluged the company on their return home ; and
some accidents happened, from the immense assemblage of car-
riages, but none of a very serious nature.
Betting on the Oaks-7 to 4 against My Lady-3 to 1 against
Ibla-6 to 1 against Zeal—lS to 1 against Augusta.

COIN RIC/USG/4 MARICA.ANZ, Julia B.—Our market continues
abundantly supplied with Wheat, for which there is but little de-
mand; and although a few samples of superior quality obtaintd
Monday's prices, all other descriptions were offered at an abate-
ment of so. per quarter, without being able to effect sales. The
Oat trade was heavy, but not cheaper than on Alontlay. Fine
hard Beans are ls. per quarter dearer, having but few at mar-
ket. In other articles no alteration.

OLD BAILEY-THIS DAY.

The following prisoners pleaded Guilty to the
minor offence of having Forged Bank Notes in their
possession :

John Smith, Jane Carter, Charles Peelc, John Dark, George
Kemp, Robert Hitebmore, Gi.orge Pike, George Baker, Tho-
mas Stevens, Edward Smith, Elizabeth Smith, Fllribeth Web-
ster, Thomas Clare, Richard Lynch, Sarah Stewart, Sarah
Reading, Sarah Appleton, Frances Gray, Elizabeth Pascoe, Ca-
therine Taylor, Charlotte Thorne, Elizabeth Rutin, and John
Shelton. Joseph Smith and John Low remain for trial—the
former on the capital, and the latter on the minor offence.

Elisabeth Hyde was tried for the murder of her
infant child, on the morning of the 6th April.
According to the evidence of Mrs. Taylor, in whose
service the prisoner lived, the latter was delivered of
a child on the morning of the 6th of April, but from
the circumstances adduced in evidence, there ap-
peared no reason to infer the crime charged.
The Jury returned a verdict of—Nut Guilty.
Algernon Disney, Esq. and Prier George Patynrr,
Esq. were severally arraigned, the first for v.olcirly
beating and maltreating Anne Banting, spinster, of
which said ill usage she died in the month of October
last ; and the second, for the wilful murder of John
Scott, Esq. who was killed in a duel at Chalk Farm
on the 16th of February last.
Mr. Baron GARROW, on looking over the list of
the witnesses in Captain Disney's case, discovered
that several of them were not in attendance, of which
he strongly complained, and said that justice to the
Public as well as the prisoner required the fullest in-
vestigation of this case.

The constable in attendance, who had been exa-
mined before the Coroner, said some of the witnesses
were here. ,

Mr. Baron GARROW remarked, that they ought to
have been all in attendance.

Mr. ALLEY said that he was Counsel for the pri.
saner, who had taken all the pains in his power to
have in attendance the witnesses who were examined...,
before the Coroner. The Court would recollect that
the Grand Jury had ignored the Bill, and that it was
upon the Coroner's Inquisition the present case came
for trial.

The first witness examined was Robert Coates, the
Mary-la-bonne constable, who merely proved the
summoning of the Coroner's Jury, the apprehension
of the prisoner, and the removal to an hospital of the
deceased.

Hannah Coles, the midwife of the Hospital, proved
the death of the deceased, as she thought at the time,
of labour after-pains.
Susannah Dawson deposed to the ill-treatment
which the deceased described to witness she had re-
ceived from the prisoner, by blows from a stick on
various parts of her body. This was a fortnight be.
fore she was taken to the Hospital.
Mr. Guddeyer, who was a surgeon and apothe-
cary to the Hospital, said that the deceased had been
admitted as a patient laboui ing under a common
cold. At the time of her admission, ho. had no idea
she was pregnant, and immediately before her death,
she appeared to have a great accession of fever, St.
Anthony's fire, and a constipation of the bowels; the
last two symptoms did not necessarily follow de.
livery ; but in this case they led to mortification,
which caused her death.
Verdict— Not Guilty.
Mr. Baron GARROW condemned the impropriety
of sending such a case as this from the Coroner to a
Jury.
