SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS,"
'containing the results of the day's Races, is rib-
fished every evening daring the Sporting Season, at
sin o'clock.

TUE first Minister to break the silence of the re.'
cre, and open the series of speeches one expects
from prom;oent public men about this time of
the year, is the PRagrozwr of the BOARD of
TEA ADZ. Mr. H LIM CY hes not many secrets
to tell. His colleagues may poseibly hart been
soothing a rival sr bombartvng en ally, or making
a itches' BM, or fortifying themselves against
a fancied cabal 1 bat of these things be hsa nothing
to say. Behr the late easers wee ended he went

congenial auditory of Oxbrdahire farmers assembled
at Banbury at an agricultural meeting, and with
the iret possible difficulty adjusts himself to the
reel at the erasion.

Reetseed Dace more to his country, Mr. Hrtrtur
ends it is a state of general prosperity. Some Pre-
sidents of the Board of Trade would have sought
the evidence this fact in Downing-street, would
have quoted statistics and compared imports and
exports. Mr. HENLEY gets at the result by
another and more familiar procesa. He went
straight to the county gaol, and found that
the number of prisoner, there was much lower
than it bad been for many years, a fact which,
altlxr..gla it concerns but one out of our fifty-two
sionaties, all will be glad to hear. In the eminently
agricultural shire, then, which Mr. HENLEY repre-
sents, in the county from which the direst predictions
of rain name when we were untaeng the people's
bread, the labouring classes are well off. The gaol
Twister shows it, and the exemplary Squire whom
wailing note wee heard leaden a few years age
to their behalf cashews the fact by his
pmeemsl testimaey. As to their employers, the
hewn, they win them to speak for themselves,
and when they so far dewed their reputed habit and
Maw es to cheer the sesertica that the country is
Meg well, the thew of demeestrition could go se
