Deceased, who joined the force in 1350, was a quiet, steady man, and has left a widow and six children. The prisoner, when conveyed to the police-office, seemed to be in an excited state through drink. He said he was a weaver, residing in Sohostreet, Bridgeton. He said he had been in the 78th Regiment, has a pension, and that he had drawn Ll 12s of prizemoney for the Indian war on Wednesday afternoon, between 2 and 3 o'clock.

He was remitted from the Central i'olice Court on Aureday to the sheriff,-0901110/4'  buttoned freek-coats and rather made upon the exact model of H.. as he appears in the thousand car traits which he has generously taken—look vi-onderingly at the a change opinions that there is " something the matter with her legs;" to the immense delight of the white-hatted old gentleman standing by, who has lived among horses from his birth, and who knows that those scars and marks are best proofs of Kate's Prowess in the field. Two or three French gentlemen will also probably be found among the crowd, subscribers to .Le Sport, faithful attendants at the Chantilly race-course, carefully membres du .loc7:ey Club, and Auglominiacs, got up in the style prevalent among Englishmen 12 years ago—shaved chins, mutton-chop whiskers, stiff, stand-up collars, almost brimless hats, yet who are utterly impossible to be mistaken for anything but masquerading Frenchmen as they arc. Swells are Caere, too, gorgeous and solemn ; stockbrokers on the look-out for clever trotting mares for their dog-carts ; Rowdy, the banker, wanting a big horse with high action for Mrs. Rowdy's brougham ; a Stole E man with his coltcollar turned up, but looking very suspiciously like a country parson, who is examining with great interest a weight-carrying cob ; and a Paterfamilias urged on by his boy to the acquisition of a grey pony. The sale proceeds . • Ktekine, bgat© falls, at the price of £lBO, to the man who listened to her breathing, who is Rasp, the well-known horsedealer, and who will sell her again in a week for £250. Other lots are brought on, and in an hour or two Lard Stampfoot's creditors are richer by a couple of thousand pounds. The single horses then come to the hammer, and are quickly disposed of ; the stockbrokers get their trotting mares, Rowdy his big brougham horse, and parrus lulus his grey pony; and when business is over, the grooms and helpers betake themselves to a very quaint, old~1, „.‘-10".t.mtke4r4fit,,, fashioned tavern, part of the establishment, situate within the gates, and recruit their strength with unlimited beer.
