THE - Public is respectfully inf o rmed th a t the COLOSSEUM is now OPEN for inspection for short period, previously to the entire completion of the design. The works consist of the Painting of London a Saloon for the reception of Works of Art and Literature— an extensive range of Conservatories—some idea of the Ciscades and Rock Work, viewed from the Cottage, and a Suite of Rooms for Annual Subscribers, comprising Libraries, Reading Rooms, Refectories, &c.

Eb? *MI - 4 LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 17, 1829. The Debate in the Lords last night, though short, was yet very important. Lord Col,- cilEsTErt, with a modesty, or rather ignorance of generalship, which is quite amusing, wisltsd to know from the Duke of WELLINGTON ghat watt the exact plan laid down with respect to the great measure of Emancipation, in order that the Intolerants might defeat it. The Duke Was too learned for the Noble Lord, and chose rather to assure him that the measure would be brought forward with effect, than satisfy him as to the time and manner of doing it. The opi nion at present is that early next week the Bill of Emancipation will be submitted to Parliament— iMmediately after the passing of the Association Suppression Act. We think Ministers act very wisely in settling the Emancipation measure as soon as possible, for little business can be carried on in Parliament till it is decided. Mock-petitions and false alarms will be daily got up for party purposes While there remains the shadow of hope for the ultra-Brunswickers. But once let the Bill be Passed, and the wonder will be—where is the danger ?—and wherefore our apprehensions ? In the Commons, some spirited remarks were mad e by Dr. LUSHINGTON, on a petition being presented from the .English Catholics—but we have n o room for observation. Mr. PEEL, from the exertions making by the friend s of liberality, has every chance of being re-el ecte d f or t h e U n i vers i ty , of Oxford. His r eturn would be the most patriotic act which t he University has done for the last century. Some of the Intolerants are setting up Sir R. • INaLts—but we hope the Baronet las too much good sense to be made a cat's-paw of by the mutinous tools of subserviency. As the Heads °f th e Church say that the Interests of the Church and State are one, is it not worse than 11 Y to divide them ? We have no doubt that t he University will follow the proper course 41d that in due season. The Paris Papers are barren of political news. They Contain no intelligence from the East, ex cept the reinforcement of the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean, by the addition of one ship of the line and two heavy frigates. We should not be surprised some of these days to hear that the Russian fleet, taking advantage of a favourable mind, should attempt to steal through the Dar danelles into the Black Sea. The Emperor NICHOLAS would thereby insure two objects-- first, the safety of his fleet, should lie persist in the war against the remonstrances of England—. and secondly, his fleet could facilitate the opera tions of the army, both on the European and 4 siatic coasts of the Black Sea. The Earl of BRIDGEWATER died at Paris O n the 13th instant. (From the Moniteur of Saturday.) t i it ztvattit, DEC. 13.—Th e Russian squadron in the Me ,7 tranean Las just been reinforced by a ship of the line of Rims, and two fi igates of th e fi rs t c l ass ; se t h at i t w ill lt -ce consist of nine ship s o f th e li ne , s i x f r i gates, an d a " ti mober of brigs and corvettes.

The Hamburgh Reporter, of the 10th inst., asserts, though the three great Powers are very desirous for peace, yet that Russia has made a very positive declaration respecting the continua tion of the war unless her demands are satisfied. The sole object of Count INlATuscEwwz's journey to this country is said to be to declare to our Government, that unless the PORTE ad mits the free navigation of the Black Sea, and pays large indemnities for the expences of thQ war, that Russia will not listen to any mediation through any other Power, but prosecute the war vigorously. If NICHOLAS persists in his inten tion, which seems very likely, he may reckon on more than Turkish obstinacy before the cam paign is brought to a conclusion, and long be fore his Eagles reach Constantinople. The in terests of England and Russia are clearly at issue in the decision of the next, campaign. If Russia succeed English commerce must suffer,—and can the Duke of WELLINGTON hesitate when the question touches so nearly ?—NICHOLAS must pause if England acts promptly : BRANDENBURG, FEB. 6. While the three great Powers are acting with the great est zeal and unanimity in the pacification of Greece, they are said to differ very much in their views with respect to the pacification of Turkey; and as a fourth great Power has taken up the cause of the Turks, it is very likely that the fifth Power will take part in the negotiations. Russia is said to have made a very positive declaration respecting the continuation of the war, and there is a report that the Emperor Nicholas will come this winter to Berlin. It is said that instead of General Noslitz, Major-General Von Pfuel, will go this year to the Russian head-quarters. MOLDAVIA, JAN. 19. Two Russian military chests, with 140,000 silver rubles, have been lately conveyed through Moldavia under escort. One, it is said, going to Bucharest, the other to Varna. The conveyance of the latter may be attended with some difficulties, as the communication between Varna and the other fortresses is very insecure. The district of Fochschani has been ordered to furnish, in ten days, a certain quantity of biscuit for the army, and the hay, which is still to be found in different places, is to be sent in as soon as possible. STOCKHOLM, JAN. 30. The young Prince has been baptised in the name of Oscar Frederick, and his Majesty has given him the title of Duke of East Gothland. BERLIN, FEB. S. The exchange of couriers between Berlin and Paris, London, Vienna, and St. Petersburgh, has, for some time past, been extremely active. lIANIBURGH, FEB. 10. According to letters of the 23d ult. from Vienna, the sole object of the Count de Matuscewicz's journey to Lon don is to declare to the British Cabinet, that unless the Porte admits the free navigation of the Black Sea, and consents to pay large indemnities for the expences of the war, Russia will not accept the mediation of any Power to treat for peace, and that she is fully prepared to resume hostilities with greater vigour than ever. The Court of Vienna, it is added, has received a communication to that effect. BORSEN-HALLS, FOUR O ' CLOCK. The favourable courses received from London have main tained those of our place. Anglo-Danish and Austrian Metalliques were more particularly in demand. The Po lish Loan has been since at 96k. Letters from St. Peters burgh of the 31st, which arrived to-day, represent the dif ferent exchanges as on the decline. Anglo-Danish Loan, 3 per cent Anglo-Russian Loan 92 Hamburgh-Russian Loan Anglo-Prussian Loan of 1818 99 •y Austrian Bank Shares 1113 Austrian Metalliqucs 97},i The .Allgemeine Zeitung of the 10th inst. contains some news from the lonian Islands, in dicative of some piecaution, if not alarm, as to the approaching campaign in the East. Sir FREDERICK ADAM is said to have received orders to enlarge and put the fortifications of the lonian Isles in the best state of defence. Some apprehension is entertained in Corfu that the Russians may prove more successful ill the next campaign, and that therefore it would be the interest of England either to promote a peace immediately, or if unsuccessful, to send a fleet to restrain the Russians from interrupting the navigation of the Black Sea : ANCONA, JAN. 26. The Greek Government receives from the French troops the places occupied by them in the Morea, and is taking measures to provide them with the necessary stores. Col. Fabvier is to have the command of the troops of the line and the fortresses ; he will make a tour of inspection, and take measures for fortifying the Isthmus of Corinth. Sir Frederick Adam, who maintains an active corres pondence with Londow, is said to have received orders ac curately to survey and to enlarge the fortifications in the lonian Islands, a measure which is calculated to give birth to many reflections on the prosecution of the war in theEist. For, however little value is attached in England to the advan tages gained by the Russians, and however the valiant re sistance of the Turks may be extolled, some apprehensions seem to be entertained of the opening of a second cam paign —because, considering the short distance of Varna from the Ottoman capital, and the advantage which Russia may derive from the co-operation of its fleet in the Black Sea, it cannot be dissembled that Constantinople is easily accessible. , The English nation, however, will not wait with indifference for the result of an operation which it conceives would endanger its dearest interests. The send ing of a powerful fleet, either to induce the Sultan to ac cede, or to support him against the Russians, is accordingly the wish of all the English here, and, as they say, of the majority of the English nation.

The following are the principal contents:— The Collector of his Majesty's Customs at Kingston has received directions from the Lieutenant-Governor to re sume the collection of the duties, imposed by the Act of Geo. IV., sec. 114, so that all articles imported from Great Britain and Ireland, from the Ist ult., will be sub ject to double duties. This measure, on the part of the Executive, is deemed rather ungracious, as it appeared to be generally understood that the collection of these duties ti . is Majesty's 'packet, Francis Freding, haswould be arti, salaries of the Custom-house Officers.

These Papers contain no information from Colombia. The Morning Chronicle says that "the Pre mier intends to abolish the office of Privy Seal. Chief Baron ALEXANDER is to be created a Peer, and a considerable portion of the duties connected with that office, at present performed by the LORD CHANCELLOR, are to devolve on Chief Baron ALEXANDER." We think some such step as this indispensable, if the LORD CHANCELLOR hopes to do justice to the numc• rous suitors in his own Court. Chief Baron ALEXANDER is an admirable Equity Judge, and would be an acquisition in the Lords for the disposal of appeals. Accounts from Berlin state that the REIS EFFENDI has declared to M .JAUBERT that the PORTE has agreed to consider the Morea and the Cyclades neutral in future, and had given orders as such to a Commissioner to proceed to Smyrna to treat with the Plenipotentiaries of England and France on the subject. This we do not believe at the present conjuncture. We call the attention of those of our Readers who take a pleasure in dispensing their charity, to the forlorn condition of the Spitalfields' Wea vers, and we beg to recommend their case to compassionate consideration. An Advertise ment in our front page will fully explain the ne cessities of the Silk-weavers. Upwards of 50,000 human beings are said to be in a state of starvation. Can any appeal be stronger than this ? SHIPPING INTELLIGENCEL-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, FEB.

The intelligence received by the Buenos Ayres Mail is to the 26th November, and is not quite so, late as that already received by private vessels, neither is it of material importance; from Buenos Ayres they write that at least one half of the vessels in port must depart without freights. - The Ex change on England was 15 paper dollars, doubloons 50 paper dollars each : much commercial dis tress existed, and considerable talent would be required in the finance of the country; notwith standing which it was confidently stated that with proper care thin State would be able to sur mount all its difficulties.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The House sat on appeals to-day, at one o'clock LEITCH V. SMITH. The LORD CHANCELLOR delivered the judgment of the House on this appeal, the question in which arose on a deed executed by Mr. Leitch, in the year 1804. During the time of the arguments, his Lord ship had expressed the strong opinion he felt, but in consequence of it having been stated by the Judges below to be a question of difficulty, he thought it due that he should read over the papers most care fully ; having done so, the opinion which he then entertained was more strongly corroborated. His Lordship was quite satisfied that Mr. Andrew Leitch took a vested interest during the life of the widow. He thought it impossible to put edifferent construction than that upon the instrument looking at the great authority of the case of " Craw ford," which appeared to govern the present. In the arguments there were two other points made, and as to whether or not it was competent to An drew Leitch to dispose of the property during the life of the widow, and whether the disposition he had made was a valid one; upon - these two points no doubts were entertained by any of the Judges below"; his Lordship was satisfied it was perfectly competent for him to dispose of the property, and that it had passed by the instrument under which it was sold. His Lordship, therefore, recommended the House to confirm the judgment below, which was accordingly done. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The part heard case of Brent v. Fisher was taken first, and was likely to last till the rising of the Court.. PREROGATIVE COURT. SIEPPINGS V. GUNNING AND GUNNING. This was a suit instituted for the purpose of de termining the validity of the will of Mr. William Gunning, a farmer, lately residing near Shrewsbury, who, on the 22d of December last, shot himself. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body, and the Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased shot himself, being at the time in a state of insanity." In consequence of this verdict, the parties that would have beew entitled to his property, if he had died intestate, disputed a will dated in June, 1527. Sir JOHN NICHOLL, this morning, pronounced judgment. The Court were of opinion that probate must be granted to the will of June, 1827. It ap peared from the evidence that the deceased was a very violent and passionate man ; that he used to have frequent quarrels with his wife; but there was no proof of insanity for a length of time previous to his decease. The evidence %vent to show that, at the time he gave directions and executed his will, he was perfectly cool and collected in his manners and conversation. Under these circumstances, the Court therefore would decree probate to the will. of 1827. The Court disposed of a great number of motions during the morning, rione of which (up to the time our Reporter left) were possessed of any public in terest. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.)

SUGAL—The delivery of Sugar from the West India Docks last week ended, 3000 hhds. and 70 tees., and the stock is reduced to 23,769 hhds. and 1648 tees. The sales last week were' full 3000 casks at full prices. In Mauritius Sugars there is an increase of business, and in the present week some very large public sales are declared. The market this morning is firm. Brown Sugars are much in request by the trade. Good Jamaica is from 625. to 685., and middling from 58s. to 625. per cwt. Good Berbice 555. to 575.; Mauritius yellow 30s. to 355.; Brown ditto 245. to 28s. per cwt. The stock of the last mentioned Sugars only 18,817 bags, but arrivals are soon expected. COFFEE.—The business doing to-day in Coffees is limited, but the market looks firm. Brazils are steady at from 375. to 395. RUM.—The demand is inactive: Leeward Proofs barely realise 2s. 3d.; Jamaica, 30 to 50 over proof, 3s. 9d. to 4s. 4d. ; 15 to 18 ditto, 2s. 10d. to 2s. 1 Id, per gallon. The delivery last week was 855 puns. and 52 hhds., of which 535 puns. were for home consumption. The stock yesterday in the West Indian Docks was 17,843 puncheons, and 1,244 hogsheads. HOPS AND SEEDS.—As the season is advancing when the Seed 'market - becomes animated, the quo tations are sought for with interest. English Red Clover is from 60s. and 655. to 705.; Foreign, 645. to 725.; White Clover, 84s. and 90s. to 100 s.; Trefoil, 30s. and 355. to 40s. per cwt.; Rye Grass, 40s. to 485.; ditto Annual, 30s. to 40s. per quar ter; all being in demand at the above advanced prices. The Hop market is more active, fine pockets are a shade higher. THE OIL TRADE.—Linseed Oils are steadily im proving. The quotations of other Oils are firm, Greenland at 261. 10s. per tun. SALTPETRE.--Since the Company's sale Salt petre has been in fair demand at from 255. Gd. to 265. per cwt. • TOBACCO.—LittIe or nothing is doing in Tobacco, and the demand is not expected to revive until something certain is known relative to the intentions of. Government regarding stemmed Tobacco. De putations from the London as well as the Liverpool Tobacco merchants have had interviews with the Chancellor of the Exchequer within the last four days, and from their report they appear satisfied that the Chancellor will only impose the increased duty of 3d. per pound en stemmed Tobacco im ported since the 10th of October last; but the quantity of this is exceedingly small, not amounting to 500 hhds. in this port. Much anxiety is felt for the official communications, which are expected shortly to be made in Parliament on this subject. COTTON.—In consequence of some heavy arrivals of Swats and other cottons, the market has again become flat, and may be quoted one eighth lower. The accounts to day from the principal manufacturing districts are more favourable, the demand for manu factured goods being on the increase. BALTIC PRODUCE.--The demand for Tallow is very heavy, and the price not higher than 395. Gd. per cwt., principally owing to the abundance of the home produce which realizes 41s. per cwt. Specu lative business is very dull. The delivery of Russia tallow last week was 1,736 casks, and the stack is 22,800 casks. Bristles are dull of sale. Hemp and Flax steady. The letters from St. Petersburgh to 30th ult. quote tallow at 97 rubles; Exchange 10 31-32nds. Mr. O'Connell, it is said, has placed himself wholly in the hands of Mr. Brougham, Sir James Macin tosh, and Sir Francis Burdett, and is guided as to taking, or rather not taking his seat, by their joint advice. • The Primate, Bishops Heath, Derry, and Kildare, are the Representative Bishops of Ireland, in Par liament this Session.— Waterford Chronicle. MATRICIDE.--Jane Jameson, single woman, has been committed for trial at the sessions at Newicastle- on-Tyne, on a charge of having wilfully murdered her own mother, Margaret Jameson, widow, in her room in the Keelman's hospital, by thrusting the small point of an old iron poker, through her breast-bone into her heart, of which mortal wound the poor woman died 12 days after. —Macclesfield Courier.

PARIS, FRB. 14.—Francis Henry Egerton, Earl of Bridgewater, Peer of England, has just sunk under his long infirmities. He died yesterday at his hotel, Rue St. llonore. Ilis Commentary on the " Hippolytus of Eu ripides," and on the little that was left us of " Sappho ;" his valuable Notes on the Literature of the East; his im • portant winks upon history, and on England's navigation —the chief title of glory to the family of Bridgewater, have acquired him a reputation throughout Europe. The good which be has constantly done during his life has pro bably served as the foundation of the premature calculations which have been ventured upon in public respecting his will; now that it is known, it may be affirmed that his fortune has been strangely exaggerated, and that the tes timonies of affection which he has left have beeu likewise exaggerated its the same proportion. The young Queen of Portugal took an airing through Chertsey and Staines, on Tuesday and Thursday. Her Majesty sat for her bust to Turnerelli, who , is also modelling the bust of the Marqu4 Barbacena. The young Queen was slightly indisposed on Friday, but was suffi ciently well on Saturday, to take an airing to Chertsey and its neighbourhood. The Duke of Cumberland had a long confe rence with the Duke of Wellington, yesterday morning, at the Treasury. Despatches were received by his Majesty, at his Palace, at --Windsor, on Sunday night, which were understood to be the result of the deliberations of the Ca. binet Council, held that day at the Foreign Office. After the breaking up of the Cabinet Council, on Sunday evening, summonses were issued from the Fo reign office for the holding another Council yesterday afternoon. The Ministers accordingly assembled soon after two o'clock at the Foreign Office. There were present the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst and Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord Ellenborough, Mr. Secretary Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, and Mr. Ber ries. The Council broke up at half-past four. Monsieur Bermudez, the Spanish Minister, . bad an interview with the Duke of Wellington yesterday. The Danish Minister and Mr. Baker, Con sul General for the United States, transacted business yes terday, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Duke of Wellington entertained a select party to dinner, on Sunday, at his residence in Downing street. Among the party were the Marquis of Worcester, Earl of Brecknock, 'Sir J. Beresford, Sir 11. Cook, Sir J. York, Mr. Irving. The Duke of Cumberland was last night in the House of Lords. Ile was actively engaged in talking with the Bishops and many Peers ; but his Royal Highness did not address the House. Sir Henry Halford is said to have been clo seted for a considerable time with the Duke of Wellington on Saturday. . The Marquis of Chandos, after presenting nearly one hundred petitions from places in Buckingham shire, against concessions to the Catholics, gave notice that on Thursday, March 5, he should move " the call of the House," a notice that was received with cheering. As the " call" is from the Clerk of the Crown's Roll, and not from the Rolls of the House, Mr. O'Connell's name will be called ! What will the House do if the call be enforced ?••••••• 1 - 11orning Paper. Mr. Secretary Peel has not yet resigned his seat for the University of Oxford. He was in the House last night. Lie has, however, stat e d t o th e h ea d s o f t h e _ University that he.is prepared to resign whenever they shall say it is most convenient for them to proceed to a new election. . It is not the etiquette for candidates to represent the University to appear at elections. LORD HILL'S LEVEE.—General Lor,l Hill, Commanding-in-Chief, will hold a Levee, at two o'clock, on Thursday next, at his Office in the Horse Guards. The Speaker's first Parliamentary Levee for the present Session will be on Saturday next, the 21st February. Mr. Sheriff Booth has removed into a new and splendid mansion in Portland-place. Prince Limn had a grand dinner party on Sunday, at Ashburnham House, Dover-street, among whom were—The Earl and Countess Cowper, Lady Emily Cow per, Marquis Pahnella, Prince Kosloffsky, the Earl of Har rowby, Lord John Russell, Lord Morpetb, Earl Grey, Lord and Lady Holland, Miss Fox, &c.--In the evening the Princess entertained a distinguished party of the haul ton. We have authority to state that the Dean of Christ Church, in the contest which is expected to take place for the representation of the University of Oxford, has declared his resolution to take no part either as Dean or in his individual capacity. Tuesday morning, Lord Plunket left Dublin for London, to take his place in the House of Lords. We underitand it is the intention of his Lordship to remain in London during the entire Session, and to take an active part in the business of the House, particularly on Irish affairs.— }Vaterford Chronicle. The expellees of the. Army for 1829 are esti mated at about six millions and a half ; and the Exchequer fees on such estimated expenditure•are 33,0001. Question—Why should there be Exchequer Feesna the Army Expenditure ? • Are •not such fees something like giving a fee to a banister's clerk when a consultation with a barrister is obtained? Are not fSes in either case most imprudent impositions—and ought they not to be put a stop to ?—Morning Herald. Friday last, a hostile meeting took place at Frankford, near Shinrone, between William Sadlier, of Tipperary, Esq., attended by William Smith, of Bally mony, Esq., and John Doolan, of Shinrone, Esq;, at tended by William M'Donougli, Esq. After an exchange Of shots, without effect, the parties left the ground. The dispute originated at a botse-race; the previous day. Before Mr. M'Donough could retire, a crowd had collected, and, we understand, crmmenced an attack on that gentleman ; he fired, and shot Mr. Davis, of that neighbourhood, through the head, and severely wounded another person. We anxiously await further particulars-of this catastrophe. —Limerick Chronicle.' BATH REPRESENTATION.•.---SINCULAR ELECTION.--Tbe election.ota member for this. City (Lord precknock.having 'vacated his . seat, by accepting office as one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty) being appointed to take place this morning at the Guildhall, his Lordship was proposed by Alderman Anderdon, and the nomination was seconded by Alderman Wiltshire. Gen. Palmer was next proposed by Alderman Crook, and seconded by Sir G. S. Gibbes. On casting up the votes, the slumber being found equal, a doubt e _return was the consequence, a circumstance quite new in the annals of else. Lion.—ln other cases, when a double return has taken place, a scrutiny of votes has invariably awarded the seat to one of the Members; but in this case such a proceeding is rendered unnecessary, as the validity of every vote is no questionable,--Bath Herald. EXECUTION.--(MIS DAY.) It was not until within an hour...of the. usual. time ap pointee! for the executions in front of Newgate, that any thing like a crowd began to congregate in the usual space before the old Debtors' door, to witness the execution of Joseph Burnhqm and _Benjamin Barrup, on whom the law had been left to take its course. The former was 9 6 years of age, and was during the last Sessions convicted,with a young female named Esther Shaw, of a daring burglary in the house of a gentleman, named Milton, at Hillingdon, near UxbriiNe, but without any circumstances of aggrava tion. The latter, who was very respectably connected, was one year older than his fellow convict, and was con vieted-the same Session, after an acquittal on the charge of murder, of maliciously shooting at and wounding Mary Mortlock, a gi t l 19 years of age. On the trial several witnesses appeared to prove the plea of insanity, and great hopes were entertained by his friends, up to the arrival of the order for his execution, that his sentence would have been commuted. Neither of the. Sheriffs were present, but about a quarter before eight o'clock Under Sheriffs Tilison and Richardson arrived and, with Mr. Worthier, immediately proceeded to the press-room. In a few mi nutes Burnham was led in by the Rev. Mr. Cotton, and without speaking a single word suffred his arms to be pinioned, and then took a seat on the bends with the ut most composure. The Rev. Gentleman then retired, and led in Barrup, who with a light and quick step walked up the press-room, bowing respectfully to the Under- Sheriffs, and without exhibiting the s'ightest sensation of fear or discomposure. A smile played On his features, and when his wrists were being fastened, to which ceremony he paid great attention,' he said, with a quick voice, " Ti e them tighter, if you please." When the ceremony of pinioning, was completed, Barrup advanced to his fellow sufferer, who rose to meet him, and, after shaking hands with him and saluting his cheek, said, " God bless you, and forgive us both—God bless you all." With an air t f impatience he then proceeded towards the door; but after wards took his station behind Burnham, and the melan choly procession proceeded in the usual manner towards the scaffold. About midway, Barrup stopped short, and said to one of the attendants sharply " Have the goodness to take off my neckerchief." This was done; and, on ar riving at the scaffold, Branham first ascended. During this part of the ceremony, Barrup kept a profound silence, and ascended the platform with .the same firmness, which did not for one moment forsake hits. He bowed on each side to the crowd, and then resigned himself to the execu tioner, fervently exclaiming " Lord, pardon me—Christ, receive my soul." At five minutes past eight the drop fell, and the world closed on them for ever. Burnham, who was an athletic and powerful young man, appeared to suffer much, and for several minutes his convulsive throes were apparent. Barrup appeared dead almost instantly. He was a very slim young man, and was dressed in a new suit of mourning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. The betting begins to assume a definite shape, Espagnolle having taken a commanding position in the odds, being the first that has been any thing like a first favourite for the present Derby. Morris Dancer and Luss were backed freely ; the latter in particular -is in very greatilemand for Derby, Oaks, and Riddlesworth, insomuch that scarcely any one can he found courageous enough to bet against her. We have some hesitation in quoting the odds for the Oaks, as it was not quite clear which of Lord Exeter's two had the call. A gentleman present offered to take 2000 to 300 about one of them ; but as no one would be more than 1900 to 300 on the field, he would not name which he wanted to back. We believe, however, that we are not far from the mark in placing Green Mantle first. The odds closed as under : • RIDDLESWORTII. 3 to 1 agst Mr. Batson's Loss filly (taken) 3 to 1 agst Mr. Hunter's Canvass colt DERBY. s to 1 agst Lord G.

The owner of the celebrated American trotting horse re ceived yesterday, at the One Tun in Jermyn-street, 250/. forfeit from the gentleman who betted that he could not find a horse to go four miles in harness in 13 minutes, fur 2501. even; in 121 minutes for 5001. to 2507., and for 7501. to 2501. ; but, since the late extraordinary perform ance on Sunbury Common, the latter party deemed it prudent to decline going on with the match, which it was supposed the horse in question would he fully equal to,— Preparations had been already made for the match coming off next Monday, within 70 miles of London —the' match cart being already packed up, and o❑ the road to the scene of action. The proprietor of Torn Thumb, the American trotter, has another match on hand, in which he stands to wiu 8,2001. It will come off, it is expected!, within a fortnight. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.
