SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING. N WatA MITT, SUNHAT NIGHT. The races this week, which conclude the Spring Meetings here, are not of that value and importance which are found in those de cided in the Craven and First Spring weeks, nor is it likely that t h e att•ndancr will he either so numerous or fashionable; good running, however, we confidently anticipate. The races will be hunted to tour days, in (nth r that sufficient time may be afforded to the vr.rors to get to the Spring Meeting at York, and brings out most of the principal favourites for the Great St. Leger. Many lodgings are already taken here, and some Noblemen and Gentle notewo o r egular viiitors, hare already arrived, but there will be any greet show of company until to morrow. IMTTING. Nu business has been done today, but some changes in the betting up to last night, and the near approach of the Epsom Meet kg, call for a quotation ut the odds. During the last week the first three favourites for the St. Leger have been in great demand, and woof them have risen some points, Velocipede having the call at 7 to t. The Colonel and Sorcery are at evens, so are Lambtonian and Zinganee, the three next being also abreast. The field is rather small, but it is not improbable that it may be extended before the d a y, as it is pretty generally expected that about 16 or 17 will start ; for the Oaks not no many. We give the latest odds— Dit 4i to I agst The Colonel to 1 apt CAland 7 to 1 apt Lambtonian 7 to I apt Zinganee 14 to 1 apt Merchant 14 to 1 ag•t Giraffe 14 to 1 agst Southeote :15 to t agst Scipio 40 to 1 agst Alcastun 7 to 1 agst Rosalie 9 to 1 agst Trampoline Sr. I.rc an. ; to I ass Velocipede (71 to 1 I it to 1 apt Betsy Bedlam,9 tab. taken freely) I 11 to 1 apt The Colonel Mr. ROBSON—From the integrity, seal, and ability displayed by 3lr.

Mr. Shoebridge sad other Gentlemen had a few birds afterwards, and killed seven 07 of eight on an average. Some thousands depend upon the issue of tke grand match between Mr. Oshaldeaton and Captain Ross.- 13pvads of thirty dozen pigeons have already arrived. F‘GHT FOR .0 A-SIDE„ ON SATURDAY AFTER. NOON, NEAR THE SLULCE-HOUSE. Thema combatants were Tom Barnes and Bill Roues, both of them Were m.nutacturers of the staff of life, and occasionalassist acts to motets of the rolls—but they happened to belong to oppo site debt An the bakers in the metropolis were on the move, and many Wes of other descriptions mustered a respectable crowd and a few taiages, at the Sluice House, by five o'clock is the evening. The il ta had been at work until that hour, but by Pia o'clock they were Pitit'd and ready. Barnes, who was the hirourite, had fought kstral by -battles—was attended by Jem 31'Carthy and a fellow erst; his weight was about eleven stone. Rough was taller an I 'd or two, and about a atone heavier. He was attended by two "4"11041t11 TUX TIGHT. On setting-to, a good deal of ceremony ensued,and some decentish hard mond hitting. Barnes stuck well up and jobbed and countered, snd 1411 kept the favourite. till about the fourth round; Rough was Tint idle, but in the third round his left hand beciune puffed—and llottaeted his action ; both their corks were drawn, and Rough's c)erwere fast getting bailie. The succeeding rounds were lo ng and tediously fought. Borneo continually bitting low, and creeping down—he still could job and counter, but he had no love for figiting. Rough gave bim a few I'm% and in spite of Al that kliCanhy could do, Barnes left off in tool condition, at the end of the 49th round, having fought fifty. Ise minutes.

LAIN :Ct.API'L3 LON. The late Captain Clapperton's servant arrived oa Thursday at I' .rtsmouth, in the Esk sloop of str-r. and from him we learn that Captain Clapperton died on the 13. h of April, 1827, at Sockatoo, where he had heel detained for five months, in consequence of the Sultan Bello of So.k .too not permitting him to proceed, on account of the war between hint and Bornou. He had waited there in hopes of ge Ling permission to go on to Tinsbactoo, and lived in a small citculat clay hut be longing to the Sultan's brother, the size of which was about fifty yards each way. He was attacked with dysentery, and lately fell away rapidly, and became much easaciated. Two days before he died he re quested his servant to shave him, as he was too streak to sit op. On its completion he asked for a looking glass, and remarked he was doing better, and should certainly get over it. The morning on which he died, he breathed loud and became testless, and shortly after expired in his servant's arms. He was buried by him at a small village (Jungali). five miles to the S.E . of Sockatoo, and followed to his grave by his faithful attendant and five slaves. The corpse was carried by a camel, and the place of interment marked by a small square house of clay, erected by his servant, •who then got permission from the Sultan to return borne. He accordingly journeyed to Badagry, which occupied him seven months, and was taken off the coast by Captain Laing, of the merchant brig Maria, of London, in January 1828, to whom he expresses himself most grateful for his attentions and the pre:a we:ion of his being. He states that he nearly lost his life while at ,Badagry, from the Portuguese setting the minds of the natives against him, and that they at tempted to administer poison to him in his drink. He' landed at Cape Coast, whence he was brought by' the E,k. Whilst travelling to Badagry he lost four horses and. two asses, from their being exposed to the sun, and fording the livers, which were much swollen by the . rains.— He also confirms the account that Mungo Pink was lost on a teet of rocks which runs from the island of Busa (er Boussa), in the Niger. Park got on the reef acrd was unable to get off. When the natives saw him they came down and fired on him and his party. Three black slaves and two white companions threw them selves in despair in each other's arms into the river, and perished. Captain Clapperton's servant also states, that Park's son died at five days journey in the interior from Accra, in January last.—Literary FURTIIKR PARTICULARS. The («flowing particulars of the death of Captain Clappertosi, lt.N. we have just received from the mouth of Richard Lander, his servant, who attended him in his la.t moments. It ia as on the 13th of April, 1827, at six o'clock in t - e morning, that this intrepid traveller breathed his last, at the city of Sockatoo, about flitted dayejoutney Bons .Tiinhoctoo : his illness lasted 32 days. The com plaint by which he was lost to the world was dysentery. He appears to have been perfectly aware of his ap pro:wiling fate—was quite resigned to it, and died in the arms ot his servant, without a Struggle. The Captain was 38 yeAr, et age. It is con'oling to know, that in the trying eireum stances in which he was placed, oppressed by consum ing dines:, in a foreign land, he did not lose sight of the value et the consolations of religion. Every Sunday morning he caused Lander to read to him the prayers used in the service of the church of England, and fre quently occupied 'himself in other acts of devotion. When the Captain was no more, our informant washed the remains of his master, and wrapped a clean sheet round his body, which he subsequently enclosed in a blanket, and the whole in a piece of matting, coffins not being known in that country. The body was then caned on the back of a camel and conveyed to a grave which had been prepared for its recepti.'n by Lander and some of the Captain's black slaves, in a small gat den in the village of Jaungany, five miles to the south-east of Sockatoo. The camel was led by of eof the slaves. The remains were fol , lowed to their last testing place by four others, and by the faithful domestic from whom we have obtained this account. On lowering the body into the grave, the union jack was waved over it by Lander, and the burial service was then read by the same individual. While I.e remaint.d.at Sockatoo, the natives treated nm with the greatest respect.. Doting his last illness h s waists were but imperlec6y•previded for, owing to the barbarous state of that society is which he was des tined to close his career. Chicken-broth and boiled Milt and rice, were the articles of sustenance which were supplied. Beer or wine was not to be obtained. . 14110 Laing was repotted to have perished in De cember, 18'25. This is fully refuted, as a letter was received by his wife at Tripoli. dated February. 1826, from a village but a short distance from Timbucton—ln that letter the Major apoli gized los its brevity, which, tie adcei, was caused by a severe sabre wound which he had tectived on the back of his right hand. Tie first appeatatice of 41r. SAMS'S fine portrait of the Duke of WaLworrom was very appropriate on the Kim's Birth Day; ag his Grace's toast, with the wine-cup in his band, of •• Health and long life to the King !" was certainly the very senti ment a every loyal bean on the occasion.

Mr. BUXTON read the Report, which «numerated the cruelties practised on the Slaves in the West Indies, and recommended that Petitions shoe.d be presented to both Houses of Parliament on their tehal. Mr. Ramos:am congriculated the Meeting on the assurance of success they received from the consumed exertions of the people of Fegland in favour of the victims of oppre s sion and craelty. Mr. WiLII7.RFONCII said, the nil], for the amlliora. tion of Slaves y that had been sent over from this country to Jamaica, to be passed by the loc.sl Legislature, had been generally rejected. Jamaica had thrown down the gage and defied the British Government. lie could I not believe but that Govermaznt would tabe up the gage 1 1 on behalf of the poor Negroes, and they must succeed. Sir JAMES MACINTOM, in addressing the Mectiag, observed, that if Slavery rras net „oradualy a:rolished,it would expire in convulsions, and - the Planters would be victims of their own folly. Mr. Buxton. the Honourable and Reverend Gerard Noel, the Common Sergeant, Mr. Sykes, M P. and the Rev. Mr. Cenningham, also addressed the Meeting. The Repot t was unanimously agreed to. as was also a Resolution to petition both Houses of Parliament Thanks were voted so the Royal Chairman ; ate; which the Meeting separated. ST. KATHARINE DOCKS. On Saturday last, being the anniversary day of laying the first stone, the Directors of the St. Katha tine Dock Company, accompanied by a few private friends, assembled in the Long Room in the Dock House, which room is intended sto a general office for the accommodation of the officers, clerks, &c. &c. and proceeded thence to inspect the warehouses, vaults, quays, and works. Twelve months only have elapsed since the first stone was laid of this really stupendous and useful undertaking, so important to the commercial and shipping interests of the port of Lon don ; since which the site of the western dock, basin, and lock, originally covered with nearly 950 houses, has been cleared. The walls of that portion of the works are thirty-six feet high ; one of the locks is completed, three-fourths of the warehouses, buildings, and vaults to surround them erected, whilst, from the unexampled progress which has been made, no doubt exists, but that the portion of the works named, with the entrance lock, dock-house, and offices, with warehouse and vault room, equal to about 100,000 tons of merchandize, will be ready for the reception of ships and goods in the month of October next, and that the remainder of the buildings anti works will be completed in the course of the ensuing year. The manner in which the buildings and works have been executed reflect the highest credit upon the en. gineer, architect, and contractors. Mote than ordinary attention appears to have been paid to the solidity of construction, durability, and convenience of accom modation. The novel mode of arrangement in the for mation of the warehouses, by which a quay frontage will be provided, equal to 4,600 feet, of from 50 to 120 feet in depth, arid under a c. lonnade 18 feet high, with the care which has apparently been taken to fur nish every liossible accommodation in the landing, housing, and delivery of goods, deservedly excited ad miration. After the goods have been landed on the spays, they will not be exposed to the weather, as provision has bet n made to raise them to the re spective floors, through shafts which have been constructed in the interior of the warehouses. The fosse side stack of warehouses, which is a specimen of the building, is a fine elevation, and, with the vaults, affords prrof of the advancement in architecture. The entrance lock will re 195 feet in length, and 45 feet wide, and at spring tides w ill contain 28 feet depth of water. By the application of hydraul cs, the lock will afford the means of docking ships and craft every half hour, during nearly ever y period of the tide, without wasting any water from the docks or basin; and a ship drawing as much as eighteenleet water, may, by these means, be taken into dock !riarril;bk rivnr with perfect safety, three hours after high water, We understand that arrangements have also ben bribe Dock Company for locking ships and craft in the night time, as well as by day, which will be a great accommodation to shipping. When the Dick buildings and works have been com pleted, they will afford accommodation, within the walls, to from 120 to 140 ships, besides craft, at one time, and of upward. of 200 000 tons of warehouse and vault room. Complaints having, during many years, been made of the rasstructions which exist I. the navi gation of the Pool, &c. from coll.ers and other vessels, we understand that the Trinity Corporation, and Cor potation of London, with a view to remove those pie. vous impediments, have determined upon buoying off a clear channel in the middle of the river, of not less than 300 feet wide ; so that ships of from 600 to 700 tons will be able to turd) the St. Katharine Docks with ,perfect security. The Lord Mayor, Deputy Master of the Trinity Corporation, and Harbour Masters, accom panied by. the Port of London Committee, &c. have, within these few drys, marked out the channel, and bye-laws are preparing to enforce an arrangement, of such vital importance to the best interests of the. Por t. The total quantity of foreign goods imported annually into the Port of, London, amounts to upwards of one mill on and a half of tons. The Wes I .dia Docks and London thick: (being the only wet d ck accommoda tion with bonded warehouses on the north side of the river, the former indeed situated at a distance of nearly four miles from the Royal Exchange), afford accom modation only for about 360,000 tons of metchandize. Additional wet dock accommodati nearer the seat of business is, therefore, required on the north side of the Thames, and will, but to a limited degree, as compared with the wants of commerce in that part of the metropolis, be provided by the St. Katharine Docks. The measure has also been productive of great pub lic advantage, as the rates of other dock establishments, and of the East India Company, have in some instances been reduced 50 per cent. since the undertaking received the saoction of Parliament. The East India Dock Company have also lowered their rates from 12s. 6d. to about 2s. per ton Register, and as a proof of the in creasing commerce of the port, it may be observed, that the London Docks and Warehouses have never been so full as they are at present, and that,- notwith standing the great reduction which has taken place in their rates, their income has increased. B •sides, the Directors of that establishment, convinced of the neces sity of still further accommodation, have recently con structed another Dock with Shed Warehouses, and have ~ow a Bill before Parliament to empower them to raise 400,0904 more towards the construction of additional works, &c. WINDSOR, MAY S. AbCOT Heistv.--Thel77f3 Sand is now wider going considerable alterations and improvement•, pre parAtory to the races. An entire wing is about to be added, in order to increase the unift.rmity of the buildings, while the inte rior is to be newly furnished and decorated. A ialfze of stabling for the temporary accommodation • f at least one hundred and sissy hor•es has also been erec ed within these fe.v weeks. It is clear, ineeifd, that in consequence of the novelty of a second meetir g, atit# ,he liist rate hor-es which have been entered to run, that extiaor dinar y interest has oP n ettci•ed. The Giraffe is said to be in a sickle, if not precarious state; the knees, which have been disposed to disease or a long time, have becmsie so had, that this elegant creattne is at present oblige] almost entirely to confine itself to the incumbent po_iti• n, and the knees are con , stantly bathed in salt and water.

The view is taken from the Bay near the Light House on the Molo Nuova, and the prospect of the city rising out of the clear blue waters, surrounded by the barren Appenines rearing their heads under the cloudless sky of Italy, cannot fail to delight the imagination. The Lanterns, the Arsenal, the Palazzo IteJle, or Royal Palace, the University, the Duomo, the Cathedral of Santa Maria dl Carignano, and the various Palaces of the Nobility, arE some of the most striking buildings depicted. The execution of the work Is, like all Mr. Boaroan's performances, highly credit able to him, and we predict a successful run of the Panorama of Genoa. EDWARD QUIN, ESQ. BARRISTER AT LAW.—This highly respected Gentleman died yesterday, at his chambers, in Hare -court, Temple. Mr. Qui tr was called to the Bar some time ago, and for the last two years had devoted himself closely and successfully to his legal duties. He was already fast rising into notice; and his sound judgment, acuteness of perception, and rate io 7 dustry, could not have failed, in a very few years, to place him in the foremost ranks of a profession w hich his talents and his worth so well qualified him to atiora. Mr. QUIN was in his thirty-fourth year. when he fell a victim to consumption, excited and accelerated, there is too much reason to believe, by the ardour with which he pursued his studies.
