circumstances, is the house of Mr, Charles Hill, of
West Smithfield.

The prosecutor, during the night mentioned in the
indictment, heard a noise as of persons talking, and
searched the house and chimnies without finding any
one. In the morning, the prisoner (a stout lad) was found
wedged in one of the chimnies, the wall of which it was
necessary to open, in order to release him. Nothing

breaking of the chimney pot, in order to admit of the

master, who waited outside the shop for the money.—
She could not get her wages from him, and at that
moment he owed her a half year's wages, which she
could not get from him, Though she was in great die•
tress. When she asked for what was doe to her, the
prosecutor said he would one day send her to the d—l
before he would pay.
Lazarus admitted that he owed the prisoner Ave months' wages,
but denied that he told her to pledge any thing.
The Jury without hesitation found her Net Gni*.

At dinner parties in Holland, soup is served up all
the year round; it is also customary in that country to
drink to unmarried people the health of their intended,
or, in other words, of their sweethearts. It happened
I that at °lie of those parties, on a hot summer's day, an
English Gentleman sat, next a Dutch Lady, who
had an imperfect knowledge of the English language ;
after the soup, the wine, as usual, being handed round,
he helped her to a glass, and drank to her (in English)
the toast alluded to, of Si Madame, yotir Sweetheart ;
when she, understanding him to say, is Madame, you
sweat hard," instantly,rejoined, Si Yes,-Sir, that comes
from the soup," to the no small astonishment of the
Otntlealan.

DONCASTER, Wainewit, sitr. 11

10:.",

In our account of the Sr. Leger yesterday, we omitted to
don that the distance, which is one mile, six furktngstind 136 4.,
(being 61 yards shorter than last year), was rots in three minutes
and 0 seconds. From the best observation we could make, the
flying horse Belzoni came in about the eleventh. As might be ex-
pected, there were many who Were not absolutely delighted with
the event of the race; it was nes sooner over than all the confidence
of the morning vanished from the countenances of those who had
gone on the wrung side of the post ; in its room, •• portentous signs"
of what's to come were too evident. Had a barbet been present
to base shaved some beards, he would have charged double for the
lengthened phiszes of the too confident. Our remarks on the hotses
were, with little exception, borne out by the running, which gives
additional force to the oft•repeated expression that .6 to the field Is
the best horse."•

It is confidently asserted that the Mel of Scarborough, Mho haf
for so many years unsuccessfully tried to add a St. Leger winner to
his valuable stud, was so much delighted with the event of the race
yesterday, that be has promised a settlement of 100 guineas per
annum for life on his fortunate jockey, George Nelsen for she ez-
ertion and ability displayed by him in riding Tarrare. It may here
be remarked, that one of the reaons which has induced many to
bet against Tarrare, was that he is of the Cation breed, against which
a kind of prejudice has existed: " never win," said a very good
judge : "his Lordship will never win with a Cation horse.' The
spell, however, is now broken. atid we have but little doubt that
the Canon stock, which has been improving of late, will, ere long,
be but little inferior to any in the north. It was George Dockeray,
and not Frank Boyce, who rode the Genera'.
The weather today has been very favourable, and the company,
though very inferior to yesterday as to numbers, was highly respect-
able. There were present most of the Nobility apd Gentry men-
tioned in our former accounts; and the Matquisses of Ilertford aad
C.rinarthen, Lord Muncaster, Sir E. Blount, and a few others,
who escaped our observation.
The sport to-day was short, but it was of the first quality for ex-
cellence, and gave infinite satisfaction. The four races came off as
follows :

Lori Milton's Tickhill made the first running at a strong pace,
and kept the lead until near the Grand Stand, with Fanny Davies
close laid in, who, it was evident, had the race in band. At the
Stand they were even, and they ran neck and neck until within
about fifty yards of home, when the filly let loose, and won the
stakes very cleverly by neatly a length, after an admirable race.

slow rate, keeping In front till they get to the top of the hill, where

Such was the anxiety to have a view of the renowned winner or
last year's St. Leger, that the spectators Socked to the rails as if
another St. Leger was about to be run. The rider, Scott, gratified
them as much as possible. Another horse, a hack, who accompanied
him, came in tolerably strong running order, instead of the custo.

and the Chase, with Purity es near as possible, at a good spanking
pace. Purity then came op, and every stride added to the beauty of
the race. In this way they rattled along, until within a few yards
of home, when the filly got a head, and won a fine race, with dial.
