AT TATTERSALL'S, MARCH 17. A great number of sporting characters, of the first class. at tended Tattersall's to-day, and a great deal of heavy betting took place, particularly on the Doncaster St. Leger. We never recol lect witnessing more sparring between two horses than for thi call between Sherwood and Tinker; each alternately took the lead through the day, and each at times received money for choice at even ; but Sherwood, at the close of the Room, bad the call, and both left off at equal points. Brother to Violet', far the• Leger, received a heavy check, and went back from 22 to 30 to 1 against him, and no takers. The betting on the other stakes was but triflirg. Moses, for the Claret, fell back a little, and some of the outside ones made a trifling advance. Several of the Pugilistic Fancy attended, but we did not hear of betting In particular either on the battle between Neat and Spring, or any other. 9 to 1 agst Sultana 13 to 1 agst Sorcery filly High odd's agst any other.

Yesterday, three fine bullocks, driven to desperation by a boat of idle miscreants, became at length so exasperated, that the most mischievous results were anticipated. One of them, after upsetting that emblem of industry and civility, poor Blacks, who usually sweeps the crossing at the Obelisk, in Bridge street, Illackfriars, ran into the shop of Mr. Alderman WAITM. WAN, and instantly put to flight the persons employed therein. After reconnoitring a short time, the enraged animal was about to make his exit, but finding no one had the courtesy to open the door for him, he made the best of his way through the window, demolishing everything in his way, and paying no regard to cali coes or Cashmeres. The poor beast, with his head dreadfully torn with the glass, then proceeded in the direction of the'Strand, followed by a multitude of the rabble, who deserve to be well chastised fur their brutal wantonness and inhumanity. STEEPLE CHACE. Friday a steeple chace, over an eight mile circuitous course from Hampstead-heath to Clay-hill, was rode by Lord Clan !morns and Captain Standen of the 3d Guards. The country chosen was extremely close, and the race well contested ; on ap proaching the goal, Lord Cianmorris took a decided lead, and came first in, but having omitted to touch the post as agreed on, the umpires decided in favour of Captain Standon. A sporting dinner being part of the bet, his Lordship entertained at Ste- Stem's, that evening, several Officers of the 3d Guards, 15th Hussars, and Lite Guards, Sir G. Webster, Capt. O'Grady, ALP. EXTRAORDINARY FOX CHACE. Wits mourn, NI mem 14.—Mr. Farquharson's well-known pack of fax-hounds threw off yesterday at Wickland Wood, near this town. Upwards of 100 horsemen, besides many pedestrians, joined in the chace. The day was uncommonly fine, and they unkennelled a'fox at Blazon-hill. Ile went off in gallant style, and, after one of the most severe runs ever experienced in this part of the kingdom, execs ding a space of 30 miles, was killed in a small house attached to a garden of the Piume of Feathers Tavern, in the town of Dorchester, amidst a vast concourse of inhabitants and about 40 horsemen only, that were enabled to be in at the death. Sonic of the horses were so much done up is to render it necessary for the riders to leave them in the fown, their Eve, being despaired of. This glorious day's sport conclu ded with Mr. Petal giving a grand dinner at Forston House tol a parry of Gentkmen of the hunt, and several Officers of the 9th Lancers. GREYHOUND MATCH. A greyhound match, for 20 guineas, was run on Tuesday, in Copmanthorpe fields, between Mr. Cropper's dog, Young Mien ham, and Mr. Creaser's young dog, which was won by the lat ter. The odds before 'running was 6t04 in favour of Ithenharn, but he was beat in grand style, and was so much distressed, as to be oblii,ed to lay down during the race. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE MILES. . - Mr. Abel Andrews, a dealer, undertook yesterday to ride one horde the above dismnee in '_!4 hours. The horse, or rather a stout galloway, under 15 hands and aged, looked a very unlikely one to win, and time was backed at six to four. The start took place from Pepper-row, Essex, over a five-mile piece of ground, at one o'clock yesterday morning, ?Jr. Andrews riding sonic thing more than eleven stone. The horse did the first five miles in .55 minutes, and 15 in one hour and 4.1 minutes, and was baited. Mr. Andrews started again at a quarter past three, and did another 15 milts at half-past five, when he halted an hour. At half-past six he travelled at the rate of about six miles and a half an hour, and dill 4.20 other miles before nine o'clock, making 50 miles in a few minutes less than nine hours. Ile baited again, and did the next twelve miles and a half, half the distance, by a quarter past eleven, having an hour and three-quarters time on baud. At this time both man and horse were fresh and well, a in good feeding condition. PIGEON SIMOT/NG. A Pigeon Shooting Match, for t:.O sovereigns a-side, at eleven birds each, took place on Saturday, on llounslow-heath,betweet: Messrs. Davenport, Say.bridgeworth, and Mattison, at 18 yards from the trap. i•lr. Davenport missed his second and third birds; Mr. Sawbritigeworth, his fifth, sixth, and eleventh; and Mr. Mattison his first, ninth, and eleventh. Mr. Davenport won by a bird. The gun was backed at five to two each ►hot, and it was a sporting match. BOX E RS. • • Civssot AND Tut Gyrsty.—The stakes of £5O a-side are to be made good at the Castle Tavern, this evening, by the backers of the above pugilists.

PEDESTRIANISM. Maven TO Exx7l3l Ain IBACIC. ;qr. Vivian, an Officer in the Army, completed his task of performing 65 miles a.clay on foot, from London to Exeter and back, yesterday morning. The pe destrian was to accomplish the 65 miles a day, and as much over as be liked. lie reached Down,near Andover, at eight o'clock on the evening of the first day, and started again at twelve. Ile travelled to Silisbury before breakfast, nearly 20 miles, on the second day, refreshed six miles from Blandford, and covered his ground on the second day within two miles of Brldport. On the third day Mr. Vivian touched on Exeter, at five in the af ternoon, and did his 65 miles at nine at night. The fourth day be was a little amiss, but recovered, and reached his destination near Coombe Bisset. The pedestrian started at 12 on Friday night, and reached Shrubs-hill, on the Bagshot road, leaving himself 23 , miles to do in eight hours on the last day. The match was won with great difficulty, with only 20 minutes to span. It was for 200 sovereigns. I ; i .11, i . Ilk FRENCH PAPER& • PILAU, MARCIII,4I • A subscription is raising at Lyons o purchase some testimonial of respect and admiraticui for the conduct Of M. Manuel.—Courier Francais. BAYONNE, MARCH 8. One of our builders, who is to undertake the bridge of boats on the Bidassoa, says, that it will take him a month to complete his work, and that he has not even received ciders to begin, which would lead us to believe that hostilities will not be so prompt as has been said. Other naval builders had been or dered to undertake to build fifty pontoons, of thirty five feet long and three and a half deep, but only ten days were allowed them, and it was consequently im possible for them to undertake the commission. A letter from France announces that Mequinenza (the only fortress in the possession of the Spanish Royalist insurgents) had offered to capitulate on terms which, it is thought, would be accepted. PARIS, MARCH 16. The papers and private letters represent Madrid as exhibiting an alarming spectacle. The silence of the capital is not even interrupted by the vociferation► of the populace, as in the stormy days of February. Se dition herself has lost her train, and appears to he enveloped in darkness. Nothing is heard but the threatening voice of the Cortes—all else is stupor. — The population of Madrid remain mute. At the departure of the Courier, there was mention of a plot to keep the King at Madrid—and we know that in Revolutions it is sufficient to seduce the mul titude, and irritate it against the most faithful, to give their intentions the name of plot, and to present them as conspirators. Attempts have been made to shake the fidelity of our soldiers. A letter from St. Beat, of the 6th, says, that on the 4th, an individual presented himself at the advances posts of Fos, and proposed to'the corporal to pass into Spain, whither he would .conduct him. Indignant at the proposal, the corporal seized and carried him to his Commanding Officer. He declared that he had been sent by the Spanish post of Puntant, to endeavour to seduce the French soldiery to desert. We are assured that a telegraphic dispatch re ceived yesterday announces, that Toulon has just escaped the frightful disaster prepared for it by some wretches, who, spread over our beautiful France, have sworn the ruin of it. The ret penal and powder magazine were set on fire in several places. This was perceived time enough to prevent any accident, and to defeat the infernal hopes of the incendiaries. PRIVATE LETTER. " OI'ORTO, mAncu t. I hasten to address you a few lines relative to the state of this country. In my last I apprised you of the soulerement' in Tras os Moines, and that the par tizans of the Conde d'Amarante were numerous and important, but from the activity of the Authorities in Oporto, the general conclusion was, that there would be nu difficulty experienced in quelling the factious adherents of (apparently) so wild a cause. The face of things has, however,. undergone a most alarming change. Nothing but dismay, trepi dation, and despair, reign among those in rffice—all .the inhabitants also that are attached to the present system, and have made themselves comuictious as Constitutionalists, display the utmost anxiety and con sternation. You may naturally conjecture our situa tion; although we have every reason to anticipate that the personal security of any English families will not be endangered, still who can foresee—who can venture to say now, what may be the effect of a colli sion that must be tremendous and obstinate on both sides ? At present no immediate danger threatens this place. At Villa Real they have 111031 enthusiastically declared in favour of the old Government; here the soldiers had very little sway ; the inhibitants them selves unanimously met at the Camera, declared their abhorrence of the present system, and proclaimed an absolute monarchy. At ChaYes, the spirit of the people has, if possible, been more decisive : numbers of the inhabitants flocked to welcome the Conde, and anxiously anticipated his arrival. Two regiments of cavalry greeted him With loud cheers. A small de tachment of infantry, also stationed at Chaves, unhe sitatingly espoused his cause. At both these places the principal and most weighty inhabitants headed thi cause. The movements of the Conde have been made with the utmost rapidity. lie is now marching upon Valmen and Braganza, and as he proceeds acquires strength and popularity. His forces are not known ; his regular troops are calculated (perhaps vaguely) at nearly five thousand men, the principal part of which is cavalry ; he has, however, a most hardy, numerous, and desperate band of Trasmontanos under his com mand. The peasantry of the province of Tras os Monies are preferred to that of all the others for sol diers—they are robust and invincible. The Cnnde's Proclamations have been handed about amongst us with the greatest freedom. " All the force that could be with safety dispensed ; with has been sent against him, but the troops are not firm ; they would not go•before they were paid ; and it has been stated, that numbers of the common soldiers have declared that they will not fight against their countrymen. _ The COnde de Balsamano, his son, Domingos Pedro, Joze Joaquim de Carvalho, and Joao. Rib. Viamia, are sent seven leagues beyond the Douro, to the South." Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated the 15th March-5 P. M. " The Duke d'Angouleme starts to- morrow for the army ; his Staff, who accompanies him, does not con tain one name calculated to inspire either confidence or courage in the soldier. The report of the Duke Decazes coming into the Ministry is totally un founded : there is not one of the present Members of the Administration that could remain one moment under the Duke's system, which is that of the Chan: ter, and nothing but the Charter. The Ex-Minister resides on his estate of Gibeaur, near Libourne, where he is introducing the English system of Agriculture, which he studied with much attention during his re sidence-in England. Should the French armies meet with reverses in Spain, it is then probable that M. Decazes might be called on to stop the progress of the danger ; but we apprehend that he would decline coming into oMce to repair the evils his enemies had produced : indeed, it is more than probable that the evil would be beyond remedy; for when once re verses assail the House of Bourbon, they will be like the torrent, that having broken down the banks, no thing can impede its progress.' , VittIAMENTARI' . 121 s • •-- -, 4 ' HOUSE OF I.OIRD3OKARCH 17. Sir Totowa' Actrun, and oeveral:Mensisers from the C 4 ,111- mOtti. brought up the Turnpike Act Amendment Bill. Mr. WIGIXA HAM also brought up the Irish Yeomanry Corps EilL—Both were read the first time. A Person from the Office of the Chief Secretary of Ireland, presented certain Returns, pursuant to an order of the House. Mr. AUDI, from the Superintending Committee of the Gene ral Penitentiary, Millbank, presented a Report of the 4ccounts and state of that Institution.—Laid on the table. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Petition froyn the Mayor and Corporation of Oxford, praying fur a rept:A - of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. ------- ----- Lord RILENBOROUGH presented a Petition from John Smith, a Baker, in Rugby, in the County of Warwick, against the Insolvent Debtors Act. The Noble Lord expressed a hope that the Noble and Learned Lord, who was supposed to have given his name to the Bill, would direct his attention to it with a view of amendment. He was, however, persuaded that Noble Lotd had little to do with the 13111 as it then stood. Ile was most desirous to advance the prayer of the Petitioner, as he was convinced no Bill had done more mischief. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the Noble and Learned Lord would nut admit the Bill had received his sanction. That Noble and L'arned Lord never gave his name to the existing Act. The original Bill was spoiled by improvements elsewhere. Both Petitions were read and laid on the table. The Portman-square Improvement Bill, and several other Private Bills, were read the second time. The -Irish Assessed Taxes Repeal Bilk and the Irish Arms Bill, were read the second time, and committed fur to-morrow.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. BY \G presented Petitions from the Parish of St. George in the East, 'Middlesex, against the Insolvent Debtors' Act.— Ordered to be printed. The London Bridge Rebuilding BiU was read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee. The Sheriffs of the City of London presented Petitions, pray ing for leave to bring in rills to enable the Lord Mayor and Common Council to make certain alterations in the City.—Re ferred to S...lect Committees. Sir T. A CL AN I/presented a Petition from Ilfracombe, pray ing for a remission of th... Duty on Coals.—Laid on the table. Lord BEI. GRA VE presented a Petition from Chester against the Insolvent Debtors' Act.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. \V. WHITMORE postponed his motion relative to the equalization of the Duties on East and West India Sugar, from Wednesday next to the 21st of April. Sir J Ol I N NEWPORT presented a Petition from the Cham ber of Commerce, Dublin,against the proposed measure for equa lising the Duties on East and West India Sugar. Laid on the table. . . Arr. V. FITZGERALD presented a ►imilar Petition from Cork, and observed, that the postponement of the lion. Mem ber's motion would afford time for similar prayers from every commercial town in Irehnd.—Laid on the table. The Report of the Committee on the &ate of the Penitentiary at BlB!bank, was presented at the bar.—Lald on the table. The Lime Exemption Bill from Tull was read a third time, and passed. Dr. PHILLI MORE rose to postpone the order of the day for a Committee on the Marriage Act Amendment Bill. He took that opportunity to state, that the object of this Bill was to exclude all from the Marriage .Act of last year which had been introduced into it by the other House of Parliament, and to re insert all that had been expunged by that House, which had originated in the House to which be had the honour to belong. The reason of his now wishing to .postpone the present stage of the Bill was, because the Lords had appointed a Committee upon this very subject, the result of which he thought it advisable to wait for, before proceeding any farther. lie then moved, that the Bill be committed this day IV nnight. Sir M. W. RIDLEY hoped, that on a subject on which it was so important to settle the real state of the law, no unneces gat y delay would be permitted.—The motion was agreed to. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE proposed the second read ing of the Division of Counties Bill, the object of which was to define in a more explicit manner than at present, the authority of the Divisional Justices. ------- Mr. STUA IVORTLEY was not aware of the necessity of such a Bill. Sir M. W. It IDL P.Y thought it unnecessary, nd would there-' fore propose as an Amendment, that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. STURGES BOURNE was anxious that the nature of the Rll should be better understood : the Amendment was, he thought, premature. Sir LETHBRIDGE said,that ample time would be given for that purpose before the committal of the Bill. Sir M. W. It I DLEY consented to withdraw bis Amendment, and the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be commit ted on the s'h of April. On the motion of Mr. Secretary Pm. the King's Property Bill was read a third time, and passed. Mr. HUME gave notice, that be should to-morrow move for Returns respecting the Revenue and Expenditure of Ireland for the last three years, and for the whole period since the Union. THE NATIONAL DEBT REDUCTION BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCH EQUER moved the third reading of the National Debt Reduction Bill. Mr. BENNET could not suffer the House to come to the last vote on this important Bill without offer. ing his opinion upon it. • The question was merely whether it was fitting or not to have a Sinking Fund at all ; and if it was, whether the proposed Sinking Fund was one which was beneficial to the Public ? The House ought also to consider whether they would retain this excess of £5,000,000, or whether they would comply with the call of the people, and con fine the Supply within the absolute wants of the year, giving to the country the fullest possible relief from taxation, a relief which they stood so much in need of. He contended, that no Sinking Fund ought to be kept up, but that the House should comply with the call of the country, and repeal taxes to the utmost; such was the course which the House ought to adopt, and as to the plan itself, he could see no advantages which could result from it. .He considered it only as a• plan intended to make a parse for the Minister.— Tr had been done with former Sinking Funds, and Would be done with this, unless the House put it out of the power of the Government to do so. He con sidered, that if there was a surplus of Revenue it ought to be applied to the reduction of taxation ; to apply it in any other way was monstrous. When Gentlemen considered what was the state of their te nants, and what was their own state—when they considered• the burdens 'which pressed on the landed interest, he coulff.noi have believed it, had he not seen it, that any :Gentleman could be found to vote for keeping up £3,000,000 of unnecessary taxes to make a Sinking Fund, and; as it was called, to keep up public credit. Under these circumstances, he should propose, as an Amendment, that the Bill be read a third time this day six months. Mr. WHITMORE was decidedly in favour of keep ing up a Sinking Fund, though he would rather it had been confined to real surplus. The annuity scheme he called nothing more nor less than a juggle, and he had hoped that Ministers, for their own credit, would have abandoned it. He would now propose the aban donment of it, but it was too late, and he must sup port the Bill ai it was because he did not consider Ithe distress of the country at present so great as to require that we should reduce out Revenue precisely to what our expenditure was. Mr. HUME strongly condemned the attempt to keep *ura Sinking kund as a delusion; it had been so for the list six years at least, .for'in 1817 our re venue was 57:000,0001. OUP eapeaditure 5 . 5,0900001 so that ih:that'year there urips,iustead of surplus, an ; excess of expenditure of 1,000,60V1. In the next four Lyears there certainly was a surplus; bat it Nfts trifling indeed; for the six years last past, the reve nii had been 373,000,0001. and the ekpenditure co me . • thing more than 372,000,0001. leaving a real surpl us on six years of 738,0001. to this he would add th e loan of 1815, of 5,900,0001. and a further sum of 2,000,0001. which by error of account, in 1816, v ial charged above the expendithiei the - whiile excess - would take in five years at 7400,0001. Yet..wil l this sum of seven millions and a half, aad the sha ft ' system which had existed, it was stated that fifty. eight millions seven hundred and thirty-two thus. sands pounds of debt had been paid off; it migh t have been so, but look at the other side, and it would be seen :hat by the process of this sinking Fund - 1b less a sum than 57,000,0001. had been added to th, debt. The Honourable Gentleman contended dui I the whole system of the present Bill, like the las, was to establish a sham Sinking Fund. He eon:awful that the further proceedings in this Bill should lti postponed till after the holidays, to give the Hoto full time to c'pnsider its provisions. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said i it would be unnecessary for him to repeat all his fat. mer arguments in favour of this Bill ; he would only I repeat one of his statements—he had stated, that c the sth of January; 1816, when our debt was at in highest, the amount of funded and unfunded dell was no less than 864,000,0001. and on the sth January it was no more than 840,000,0001. here wi t a reduction of 24,000,0001. and by that reduction, a further saving to the Public of •3,000,000/..thio, he contended, was performed by the operation of the Sinking Fund. Mr. TIERNEY rather regretted that his Honour able Friend's Amendment had not been for a delay , of six weeks instead of six months; this would have afforded him time for full consideration. The-00. .nion of the House was evidently for a Sinking Fund, and therefore he would not is! ess on the HOlise any motion against that point; but he most again protest against the Annuity plan. If there was a Sinking Fund, he contended it should be coil fined to real nu plus, and the two millions taken on the Annuity plae was a fallacy. The Right Honourable Geotleinin then entered into a review of the operation of die As. nuity scheme, which he said in its effect h.,u only to create two millions irredeemable Annuity, for the plip pose of giving to the Chancellor of the Exchequer I sum of - two millions to go to the Minket with to buy up redeemable Annuities. He considered this as 4 fallacy, by which all the money given to lawiersani for stamps was throWn away. There was also ano. ther absurdity attending this plan. A Sinkiiig-Fund had for its object to relieve posterity, by imposing a burthen on the present generation, whilstthe Annuity plan was to relieve the existing generation by law ing a burthen on posterity. Ile could not suffer this Bill to pass without protesting agaimt its absurdity. He called on the House to alter this Biil, and if they did pass it, pass it without its containing such anah. surdity, by confining the operation to three million; the real surplus; and should he receive any encou ragement, he would propose to postpone the tune deration of the third reading for six weeks. Mr. HUSKISSON was highly satisfied to heir from his Right Honourable Friend who had last ads dressed the House, and also from the Hvnourabb Member loc Fortallington, the fact, that ( they corn` dered a real Sinking Fund as necessary; They had said a Sinking Fund was necessary tot the-relief at posterity; but he would also contend that it was no cessary for the support of our present credit, and that we could not give it up ilAgss sye were cunteat to acknowledge our extreme -weakness and exhatts. tion. He proceeded to defend-. the Annuity plan, which, he said, was a plan to convert Annuities fa life into Annuities terminable in forty-five years; and also by this plan to lessen expenditure at least two millions annually, which might be applied either to a Sinking Fund, or the reduction of taxation. Lord A. H ANIILTOIs) denied that a Sinking Fund of five millions could be established, when the Right Honourable Gentleman himself admitted that the clear surplus was only three millions. The Right Honourable Gentleman had assumed that the present Sinking Fund would not be diverted fr..sn its ob)ject, though that was the case with all former Sinking Funds. It was a known fact that 300 millions h been taken from the Sinking Fund. The applica,tioa of this Sinking Fund should be taken away tioni di House and from Ministers, else the same effect 1414 . take place as before. . ,•• Mr. BARING said, it was now admitted shit tired • was a Sinking Fund of three millions, and•hot gfita It was a clumsy contrivance to exaggeiare'the, sum above its real amount. The present plan was a r legarr of the late Chancellor .of the Exchequer ; and the Right Hon. Gentleman, from delicacy, might-not be inclined to deal with it as he other Wise would do.' IT not for the reduction of debt, a sum of three millions was necessary to support the steadiness of the 'Trento; it was highly necessary that there should be some se curity against a defalcation in the public revenne.— , He could not see the propriety of selling an annuity of 45 years for the purpose of buying Stock, as the bargain must be disadvantageous. He saw no possible advantage from postponing the reading of the Bill Should the motion of the Member for Aberdeen be rejected, he (Mr. Baring) should move that the sum be reduced to three millions. That would render tbk whole of the process simple and satisfactory. It wall' also to be considered, that the country had a benefici* interest in the extinction of.the annuities spread over a space of 45 years. Sir H. PARNELL said, that the plan was only raise two millions by way of loan. - Mr. RICA RDO observed, that the plan of zl Chancellor of the Exchequer was to change a life a!' nuity into one for 4.5 years. The surplus revenue wag only three millions, and the money that fell in frog the extinction of annuities might be•applie'd to dd redemption of debt. There were thi Long-Annuitim in the market, and these afforded a test for the par' chase of annuities ; and by a proper arrangement Of annuities, instead of being made terminable e years, might be shortened to 37 years. The smog. of the charge that had been got rid of was very I indeed, though there bad been a tednetioa of lions of debt.- . ~ 21./t!. • - .
