T.Y.C. 200, ft. DEERFCOT, THE INDIAN RUNNER, AT BIRMINGHAM. by electkic telegraph. Monday Evening, Agreat desire to witness the famed Indian runner by tha admirers of pedestrian sports in Birmingham and the neighbourhood having been expresses, a handicap race of four miles was announced to come off this afternoon at the St.

Helena Gardens, Balaall Heath, the first prize being-a handsome silver cup of the value of 2-5 to the winner, and money prizes to the? second and third men. The competitors were handicapped according to their previous "performances, and the following Sve accepted the conditions, v'z, E. Mills, of London (the six mile champion runnei), who was placed at scratch; Deerfoot (the ten mile champion runner), 50 yards' start; S. Barker, of London (the challenger of the ten miles Champion Cup), 50 yards' start; W. Riohards, of Mill-wall, 440 yards' start and J.

Roberts, of Birmioghasa, 440 yards' start. There been tome fear that the Indian would not put in en spfeirance, but all doubts wero dispelled oa tho arrival of the half-past twelve o'clock train from Manchester, whe.i the Indian stepped on to the platform, accompanied by Mr. G. Martin (tho gentleman who attends fo bis interest) and by hia trainer, C. Mower, of Norwich.

The Son of the Forest was loudly cheered, and received a most cordial welcome. Accompanied by an immense crowd, he at once proceeded to tho grounds, his picturesque native costume and tall, commanding figure, now S3 well kiown in London, creating much intereit. Only four competitors appeared, S. Barker not going to the post. The coursa ia a small one, only some f-aw yards over 220, so that they had to run 34 times round to complete four milts, Richards and Roberts, in their 440 yards' advantage, had rather more than two rounds (or laps) start of rather less of the Indian, so that Mills had to pass them three time's; and the Indian twice.

About 3,000 persons paid for admission to the grounds, but every eminence commanding a view waa densely crowded, and at a fey minutes to four, the competitors having taken up their allotted positions, the pistol was fired to start. Ongoing iff the Indian and Mills at enca began to show their superior speed, and it was soon evident that they were gaining on the two with a start of 440 yards, Milka atriving to the utmost to close up the gap of 50 yards betwoea him el? and Deerfoot. The eay alyle of Mills waa muoh admired, and from the commencement of the race the interest was confined to him and the Indian. The latter two dahad on amidst loud cheering, and the excitement was much iocroaeed wh a they each had passed Riohards and Roberts the requisite times to make np the 440 yards start given them but notwithstanding all the effirts of Mills, he oould not overtake the Indian. Riohards ran on mo6t gsmely, but Roberts gave in when he had gone three miles and a.

half. On entering the fourth mile, Djerfoot was leading, Miiis again atrnf gling to oloee np with him, and aa often tha Indian spurted away, Richards bringing up tha rear. When a quarter of a mile from home, Mills raado hie final effort and got within ten yards of the Indian fljer but all his exertions failed, and he fell (jai'o exhausted, wirhiu two laps of the fin'sh. Richards, who went the whole distance, passed the goal twenty yards behind the victor. Deerfoot the four miles (less fifty yards' start) a few seoonde over twen'y minutes.

TEE FEMALE FOUND IN THE REGENTS CANAL. Wo mentioned yesterday that the body of a your woman, unknown, apparently about twenty year3 of age, decently attired, was discovered by a labouring jaan floating in the water of tha Rozont's Canal, New North-road, Hoxton, under very mysterious and shocking circumstances. It now appears thot shortly after nine o'clock an alarm was raised, when two police constables hasteiand on to the towing path, where they could distinctly see the body of a female. The draga were procured, when the deceased waa brought ashore. Tha body had been in the water several days, and presented a eioliemrjg spectacle, the bead being battered in, and tha eyes rt moved from their sockets.

The arms and lege were bruised, and tie body in various parts was contused and the akin abrsEEd from external violence. A messenger waa dispatched for Mr. Edward Waller, the coroner's officer, who proceeded to the spot, ond had the body removed in a shell to the workhouse of Sr. Leonard, Saoreditch, where I5. Clark, tho parochlal'mcdical officer, umdo a minute examination of the body, whioh was that of a fine young woman.

The ekull was extensively fractured, ond tbe brain lacerated. The injuries were no doubt the cause of death. A fall description of the deceased- was at once forwarded round the whole of the metropolitan police-stations, and, at nson yesterday, Mr. Waller received information which loada him to believe that the deceased has met with her death unfairly. Her name ia supposed to be Emma Jones, and her friends reside ia the neighbourhood of the Curtain-road, Shoreditch, from which place she has been missing nearly a lorinignr.

Search had been made for her. by her fathe fnd mother, but at present the cause of the deceased's death is involved in greatobscurity. Mr. Waller, the constable, waited upon Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, yesterday niorninj, rand an inquest will be held oa the body at the Black Horse Taaern, Kingsland-road, this afternoon.

Y. Brooke, on his return from after an absence of eight years, appeared ia the character of1 Othcllj. Mr. Brooke's performance in this and" other tragic parts is so well known to metropolitan play-goera, that it would be matter of surplusoge at this time to enter upon any minute criticism on the present ocoasion. Wo oould not but remark, however, that his voice was falter in body and of better tone than, we had sometimes heard it, whilst his actiag was occasionally more subdued than we had kaown.it to be.

S.ill,- however, there was observable throughout the performance an ap. pearaace at over-effort, a tendency to ex-aggention, whioh, ia a part like this, req-iiiinn) exaggeration, was tb hi regretted. In rcspectof feeling, and of anxiety. to reader every point with the fullest possible' effect; there: could ba no denial of his assiduous eft arts and thus few passages in the dialogne escaped recognition by the audience. A little repose, however, would still have.

been, advisable' as essential to the full breadth of development of.thiastugon-. dous creation. Mr. Brooke was received with lou3 and long-continued plaudits on his first entrance. The address to the Council, that first stalking-horse in the part, was given with a little too much elaboration, bat was, nevertheless, vehominlly applauded.

Ia the third act the gradation of feeling, when uador the influenoe at lago's malignant saggebtims, wis marked with considerable skill. Ia' tho after pats, where the full torrent of passion was to bs displayed, he somewhat' cu'did what the dignity of the oh wacter presoribed. In the fifth act he displiysd rage and the softer impulses in. a mixed manner, but still without that fine heroio tone which th.9 poBhion requires. Oj.

tha whole, however, aa an energetio reading of the part, according to the traditional notions attached to it, the performance waa, success ful, inasmuch as it drew. down frequent burets of tion from the audience. In the other parts the play was but indifferently sup ported. Mr. A.

Young who, we understand, was brought all the way from Australia by Mr. Brooke to act with him, had neither the presence nor the mini required for the im personation of that arch-fiend lago, and, through his failure, much of tha interest attaching to tne poet a tnerae was lost, AnfiWieKowho oould. have been fooled by suoh lago could hardly engage the sympathies of an intelligent audience. Mr. J.

Rogers played tha part of Cnssio very fairly at least he did not overdo what he had to do, and espaoially kept himself under wholesoma restraint in the drunken scene, in whioh silly actors are accustomed to run riot. Mr. R. Roxby made Modcrigo comical throughout, even in his death. MisB Henrietta Simms aoted with considerable delicaoy and' feeling as Dcsdemona, Mrs.

W. Sidney received acknowledgments well duo to her for. not out-rjaring the declamatory passages allotted to Mr. Brooke, and others of the and afterwards Mr. E.

T. Smith, were called before the curtain at the close, of the play. "A new and original farce," from the practised pen of Mr. Stirling Coyne, followed, entitled A Terrible Secret, but it was constructed of suoh alight materials that a fow words will suffice for it. The terrible seoret is an idea; oppressing the mind of a certain worthy gentleman that he has been made a Freemason, which oeoret he is at great trouble to keep from the knowledge of his wife.

Whilst he is taking a quiet nap the servant girl diacovers tho horrible eectet of a wig in a band'-bax and her worthy master, on his awaking, fancies that the mystery by which she is perplexed refers to something conneoted with the craft," Of course this little mistake is explained away in duo course, when everybody is satisfied. Messrs. Atkins and Robert Roxby, and Misses Louise Keeley and E. Arden were en: gaged in this little affair, which it would be almost faroical to call 11 a faroe." The greater portion of the audience withdrew quietly during its and those who remained applauded vehemently. Lord Fermoy, M.P., ia about to be entertairied at a publio dinner in tne uuy 01 uorsr.

The adyantage, on the whole, was in favour of Liverpool. Remaskabie Bail-way Accident. An accident happened on the Great Western line near Warwick, on Saturday last, which is psrhsps unprecedented in the annals of railway casualties, nnd is certainly remarkable as to the result.

Two men' named Frederick Allcook and Edward Clarke were employed in repairing tho line near Eingswood, where there is a small station, when the narrow goods train approached from Wolverhampton on the up line." They at onoe did what was natural, under the circumstances, stepped on to tho doavn line." They might, of course, have remained on tho eix foot," between the double rails, and they certainly hava done so had they known a train waa approaching from London. Ae soon as they got on the down line, the Rover" engine, attached to the express train frooi Lundon, which passss Kingswood at 10.27 a.m., knooked them both down. The most curious part of the occurrence remains to be told. The express passed over the bodies of both the men, yet neither waa killed. Clarke was removed to the Birmingham Hospital, and is rapidly recovering tho effepis.

The other man, who was much worse hurt, is now lying the hospital at Leamington. i Supposed Child Mdrder. Casting Bodies into the Thames. Yuaterday. morning Mr, C.

J. Catttar, coroner, held ari inquest at the Garriek'a, Head, Deptford, on the body of female infant, found in ha Thames. The body was discovered tied in a aroel, floating in the river offDeptford, and from the fact of one oi its lege having been cat off, but sf.il! placed in the parcel, and that an incision had been' madn on the left breast, from the neck downwards, the auspicion exoited was that a foul murder had been committed. A post-morlcm examination of the body was accordingly made by Mr. Fisher, Burgeon and assistant to Dr.

Downing, police diviaional Burgeon, who gave it aa his opinion that the ohild was still-born, and that ita body had been obtained by some medical student forthe purpose of operating upon, and afterwards thrown into the river.

On yesterday w5ek Miss Jolly had been exnmiued, and on yesterday week it was that the prisoner was oommitted for trial. In one short week those aotimr on behalf of the aooused for Messrs. ii'z-gerald and Kane had only that time to overreaoh- publio indignation, and prepare to establish tho mnooenoB ot the man at the bar but during that week they were not idle, by dov ond night they toiled on behalf of the manwheBO case thev lal undertaken the charge of, and-if their efl rts were not orowned with euoceFS he would be sadly disappointed. Ames Wyles would not tell the nama of the vfissel that she went to Holt head in.

She would toil, if ehe oould. the name of the captain. She would not tell the name of tho man in whoso company, she was, thim thot his name waa George. She could not, or wotiid not, tell tho no.me of the stewardess, or of any living bein" on board. She would, in fact, give no clue to prove the falsehood of.

her statements. Biid tho police, "never mind Bridget Gilligan Bhe is as bod aa yourself, and there is no use in bringing' her to oor-rohirate vou." Agnes Wvles was brought to the CaBtie-virdby the police, whohadhtr in custody, and for what purpose did they bring her there on tho 10th. of Ootober, but to civeher an opportunitv of seeing Mr. Jolly that eha identify him. She did not know his personal sp-peaYanco, but she made it on that day.

Sho was put into tha room with him. but she said that she was not told that it was Mr. Jolly. Of courao no The polica don't on suoti occasions talk to a witness, but they talk at hor. They don talk to the witness, but by a wink, a ihake of the or bv talkinsr ai the witness they eif-'ot the same object.

If was clear that Agnos Wylos and Mr. Jolly were brought tosetheriu order that she might have an opportunity of identifying him, and saying that eha knew him, or in the hnpia that Mr. Jolly, who gave his evidence a most orpdifable manner, might Bay that she was very like the P-i-1 he saw standing in the doorway. But he aaifl he never sw her before. The jury would see what amount of credenoa was.

to be given to her testimony when he told iheoi that there was the most convincing evidence to prove that Aenes Wt les was actually, in Holyhead on the night iaqaeslire. those engaged for the prisoner only learned that faot on Thursday last. As soon as they heard it thr y. made the neoeseary inquiries, and learned the name of the vessel in whioh she went to Holyhead, and also tho names of tha mptain. stewardess, mate, and sailors.

Finding that, tho was almost starting from the North-wall, they to' Mr. Binger, who directed the captain and the other witnesses to remain and give evidence in the case. Thse witness's would bo prodiioed. and they would that Anes Wyles was in Holyhead on-the 27th of. Sep-lombor she swore she was in SioHviIle-straBt that night, and saw the prisoner there.

There were loud minifestationa of applause at this announcement, and Judge BaH said that if there was a-reoe-tition of suoh disorderly oondnot those guilty of it should be removed, Mr. Sidney said he did not wonder that the public should have given expression to the feelinga which such sn attempt to procure the oonviction of an accused man mast oall forth. Thre wore abundant materials to show that Agnes Wsles ought to be placed, in the dock for wilful par-jury. She told them that she went to Holyhead on Thursday, that Bridget Gilligan, who ao-oomDaniod her, had a fainting fit on board, and that she returned to Dublia on the following Saturday. The several witnessea whom he had named, and who'wore on board the vessel, would be produced, and Bridget Gilligan, tho unfortunate companion in vice of Agnes Wyles, be oroduood, and they would give (he jury suoh evidenoe as oould not fait to exoite their horror at suoh a desperate attempt te swear away the liberty of an innocent man.

Heart them to p3ysmueh to the evidence on behalf of the accused as 'they ft. UtBM for tto 0W. HYtoB 498eo-SafcoWtos fairly upon that evidence, he ifearkssM The casa had created an nmount of publio m-ivnion' unparalleled in tho annala of crime, and it was feh to make one's blood run cold to think that in a city hre they had been in the habit oi entrusting their wives, WH, and daughters to thn oare of cab-drivarB, an jpatanoo, vB ffi happy to eay a solitary instance, had ooourrod an outrage by a cabman ovulated to mike them feel apprehensive about the safety of those nearest and dearest to them.

He was happy for the honour of the cjautry that snoh crimes were of rare occurrence, and, ho (tasted that, no matter how log they might live, it would "nerer be the lot of, tray of them to hear again of such a jiabolicil outrage. Sergeant Sullivan stated the case on kbolf of the Crown in an address, magnificent in its Jan-powerful in effeet-an address becoming his 12 position in the profession, and showing how wall-Vd be was to maintain that position. What he said osto8 the oase WA3 Tatb9t t0 UkS "9 'h9 his duty there was to are Justice' doao, and the user in whioh he had conducted the oase spoke trumpot- ued for tho acouraoy of that statement. The learned 'f 'cant told them the timo for speculative discussion hod and in that observation he fully oonosrred. He Hd th'om the esse had excit 3 strong public feeling, and ho ed th8B1) in language as strong as it was eloquent, Lost committing thefatal error of allowing prc-conceived LsrespeotiaE the guilt of the accused to them the jury box.

Ho (Mr. Sidney) earnestly implore! of that warning them. It was open have sought an adjournment of the tho nest commission, and he might fairly have ft havin" regard to the short time that had.elapsed Shis Stand tfa state of public feeling. But Vs of his innocence ho did not fear a epeeay trial, nSfl-d that, when they hoard his with attention, walk forth from the dook a free man, and his 8 nXimed to the world. He could assure them St ore his case closed they be atnd and would show that a double crime had been committed.

LCs much mistaken if he did not demonstrate that riarv wilful, diabolical, ar.d soandaloua neriury, bad ffatatrodacod intothiso.se by the most import wit-2 nroduwd for tho Crown, he meant Agnes Wyles. If dld no? pro that conclusively ho would ask them to no attention to what ho said on the subjsct. Heknit Sat iuo, because he know that her evidence woe the very Sivorkof tho prosecution; for, if it was true, John Sran would bo the guHty man. As for Miss Jolly a identification was of the most shadowy hS and therefore he had the means within own power of falsifying the very groundwork of the case. HeVs sure he was addressing men who would, os far as Vy ooald, banish from their minds all they had read aid heard, or might have believed about tb case Wore thev came into the box, and if they funded Zr vordidt on the evidence, he was fearless about the ratft They might have tho baBt iatentionB to banish from th.ir minds notions formed before, but impressions once formed ware not easily got rid of, audit was possible that, as honeat and truthful men, they might have unoonsoiously allowed their better judgment to be warped.

That was all he feared, for he kaewthat he had the rest in his own tads. On tho night of the 27th last-a niKht wet, dark, and stormy, a cab ohwge of a driver was employes, and a eoandalous, diabotical outrage was ownatrated. Ho aeked them to apply their ladgmsnts to the facte, and soo if they did not establish the innooenco of tho prisoner. It was no part of his (Mr. Sidney a oase) that tho outrage was not ODmmitted.

It was their duty to sympathisswith tho youh; lady, and she had the sympathy of all those oonneotod with the defence in the case, and 'in his anxiety to spare her as much as possible a protracted cross-examination in court, ho had adopted the ctoho of oross-sxamining Mr. Jolly at an unusual length for the purpose shattering her evi-dente. In doing so ho hoped he had not aoted inconsistently with his duty to his client, and he hiped he had oocompliehed the obieot for whioh he took this course. What wore the facts? It was five minutes to ten when Mies Jolly left the tea meeting in Inmbard-street, Mr. Jolly told them that he was euro the oab was not standing in SacMle-street when he passed up towards the PoBt-offl'e, He asked them to disbelieve the evidenoeof Agues Wjlss.

She told thera it wis four minutes after tin clock vlM iheeibmau drove over the bridge and joined hor at at the doorway. He asked them to mark the discrepancy that was involved in these two statements. It was a common foot that there was a cab standing that portion of the Btroet on that night, and that the cob was tntau from opposite the house, e'ther 8 or 9, Lower Siekvilie-ftsot, on that nigh. was common faot that Mr. W.lv observed a girl standing ia a doorwiy, and thit It raw a cabman oomirjg out from the doorway, nnd eajaseii him, and thit the cab went in the direction teeribed.

He aaked were they not all as well acquainted with the facts of th3 case through the medium of the public journals on the Moadav aftBr the outrage as they werenow, mi, it eo, did Acnas Wyles know that young Mr. 'lly soaH prove that there was a girl standing in the doorway S'ie knew that as well as any of them. This girl ij that the doorway in whiah: she was standing at the time eho observed the lady and gentleman coming to the cab was'a doorway between the cab and tho bridge. Mr. Mly proved that the girl he sow standing in the doorway fisraet by him bafsre ha oame up to the oab, oonaequentl? tbegirl he mot was standing in the doorway bstwem thp (ab and the pillar.

Agnes Wyles know that she Bhould etatothat she had mesios of closely seeing the oabman so a toidentifyhimonBuohadark.wotnight; and accordingly shB stated that the cabman oarae to her and spoke to hor, and tba'shs, indignant at bsing addressed by a man (without an atrolnoiion), moved away to another doorway.
