SPORTING INTELLIGRNOR.

TATTERSALLI3—MoIrmaY.
The interval between the Ascot and Goodwood meetings
is marked by a wonderful dimiaution in the atavisms on
the regular days, those on sporting intent evidently pre-
ferring the rod or the yacht, or even a quiet saunter along
the lea shore, to the wearing and tearing bummer of the
racecourse and its neoessary sequel at Knightebriallo on the
Monday following. The greater portion of the after-
noon was devoted to settling on the mint of
feet week, all of which went off, we believe,
without any semblance of uopleasantnem. Betting oom-
minced with the Northumberland Plate, Caller Cu being
in great demand at anything over 2 to 1, while Brown
Bread wee also in tremendous force at 5 to 1, the latter
odds, however, being offered at the close of business.
Revival was fitm at the lame priee-6 to I—as that at
which she left off in the morning. A great outcry,
and justly so, was raised agamet the unseemly
policy pursued in connesion with La Touoquee,
who after being first quoted at 7 to 1 taken at Knights-
bridge, receded step by step, until she reached 100 to 7
(offered). Later on, however, favourable symptoms pre-
sented themselves, and, efts; a good deal of haggling, a
gentleman offered to take 100 to 10 about Fobert's repro-
mutative. The other transaatioos on the name event
were small and unimportant. King Hal was a great
" pot" for the Derby, one gentleman having taken 25,
"monkeys," about the Marquis of Haetinp'e representative.

NATIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE.

The annual meeting of this league, which has for
its object the opening of the National Museum, galleries,
libraries, and gardens to the people on Sundays, was held
last evening in St. Martin's-hall ; Mr. 11. J. Brace presided.
The report stated that the working of the committee had
been attended with • great deal of emcees. The enlightened
views expressed by the Bishop of London on the working of
the league had advaueed its objects to a great extent, aid at
a conference held between the members sad the representa-
tives elected by forty trade societies in Loudon, a 'wham
expressing satisfaction at his lordship's remake was carried
without a disseutient. Great @access bad attended the
bands in the parks, and while every encesesive year bad
shown an improvement in the numbers which had atteoded,
the amount collected to meet the expenses had been found
ample, and the tenth season of the music bad
The distribution of the League papers had bad the hem

enlisting many warm supporter', and as an illuetratioe of
this fact, a branch society had been established at Oaford,
where the subject had been under public discussion.
The motion made to close the Crystal Palace to
its shareholders on Sunday had been successfully
opposed by the members of the Largos present at the annual
meeting of the company, and cc two Sundays, owing to
the liberality of the directors, 13,000 MUSA= with their
families enjoyed themselves in the national edifice and its
The opening on Sunday of the Irith National
gran b,; and the Botanic Gardens at Dublin, was a proof of
the advasosment of the League. The committee bad always
courted public discussion ; and although the opposition bad
accepted the challenge, they had withdrawn from the con-
test after a series of meetings. The committee had brought
their objects under the notice of several members of the
House of Commons, in deference to whose opinions they
had postponed urging attention in parliament, until after
the general election, when they hoped to bring the labour
of ten years against error and prejudice to a successful
issue and final settlement by act of parliament, to the
satisfaction of all parties. The chairman, in moving the
adoption of the report, referred to a letter written by the
Bishop of London, and in which his lordship said that the
study of blames science may be sanctified by religion. He

tingaished prelate's word., and hoped that he would
be induced to make further concessions to their
cause in addition to those which had been already
extracted from him. In regard to the question of eleetions,
he considered it was one which seriously effected them.
He thought it was time they should expose the rank
hypocrisy of those who, while they condemned any effort
made to promote the social and morel enjoyment of the
working mee, lost so opportunity to make every revi-
sion for their own amusement on the Sabbath. Mr. Mac-
donnell briefly seconded the motion, and it was %lanai.
monsly agreed to. The fallowing were elected viee-prosi-
dents :air Cr Lyell, Sir John Bowring, ohn Stuart
Mill, and Dr. J. Watts, of Mitooltester. Mr. Baxter
Langley moved, " That the members of the Lawns be in-
vited to earnestly soups with the oommittee tsar
the
trades delegates in settee dentoestratioos, before sad
daring the ensuing session of parliament, and to me their
influence in the coming elections." He said the present
parliament had been dying for some time, and they could
not have expected anything from it. However, be thought
it was now time to adopt ao aggressive policy, and the beet
time to commence their efforts would be at the general
elections. Candidates who would he is favour of a large
extension of the franchise, and who would be philosophic
radicals in their principles, would be sure to embratm the
views promulgated by the League, and it would be therefore
desirable to give every &mistime* towards the menra of
each persons. He would &leo sugeast that a public meeting
should beheld in Trafalgar-square in favour of the casein
of the National Gallery, and b• saw nothing anseend
calling one is the Pekoe-yard or in frost at
Baekhegaaa
Palma. The resolution was pat and adopted. Mr. Litegley
announced that • pahlte demonstration would take pion at
Kew-ordain on the 30th July.
