SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

FIRST SPRING MEETING.
NEWMARKET, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20.
Attracted by the great number of Stakes and Matches appointed
for the day's amusement, the assemblage was greater than any
other during the week, and the most sanguine expectations were
more than realised, for finer sport has not been witnessed this sea-
son.
His Royal Highness was on the course till the conclusion of the
Races, and afterwards dined with the Duke of Rutland, Sirs J.
Shelley and J. Byng, and a few other gentlemen, at Mr. Douglas's.
In the evening his Royal llighnesa visited the Rooms for whist.
The Dukes of Rutland, Portland, and Grafton, the Marquis of
Exeter, Earls Jersey, Lowther, Orford, horde G. Cavendish, Dun.
vial, G. Bentinck, and most of the gentlemen whose names have
appeared during the week, were also present-
The Marquis of Exeter, who was very fortunate in winning all
his three races, left for town, as did the Earls Lowther and Orford.
The dinner at the Rooms was attended by the Duke of Portland,
Lords Jersey and 0. Bentinck, General Grosvenor, Colonels Udny,
Russell, and Aubrey, Messrs. Lamhton, Wortley, Greville, &c.
When our express left the course, the 50/. race arid the dead heat
were not decided ; we therefore present the running far them, and
the other Stakes, which are of more importance, as moat of etem
were keenly contested.
Match for 100. First half of Ab. M.
This was won by Lord Exeter's Athenian in a common canter,
by two lengthe-6 to 4 on the winner.
Match for 60. First half of Ab. M.
7t04 on Armida. The odds ran so high on her, in consequence
of B'ildwood. being a roarer, it was thought he would have no
chance; however, he agreeably deceived his friends, by winning
his race in a canter by a length.
eepstikes of 10 soya. each. T. Y. C.
S and 6to 4 on Advance. This was a pretty run race ; when
they came within the cords, Mr. Stoneliewer's I. came up and took
the lend, and it was thought there that the Advance colt was going
out, but from the skilful management of Robinson, who took the
whip into his left hand (being on the outside ground), he prevented
it by severe lashes, brought hint straight, went up, and won, like
an Eclipse, by a length.
Match for 200. D. M.
3tol on Spermacetti. This was one of the best contested races
we have seen, either at this or the Craven Meeting, and very large
sums were sported on it. Heads and tails for the last NO yards
who would be the winner, when the palm was triumphantly given
to Palais Royal, by half a neck.
Sweepstakes of 100 each. D. M.
The betting begah at 5 and 6 to 4 on Diviner, and varied to even
betting on him apt the field ; then Mr. Goddard's f. came up, and
a deal of money was laid between the two. Diviner then went hack
to 6to 4 apt him, and even betting the other apt the field—ll to
1 apt Coma f.
This was one of the most sporting races ever beheld, and was
truly run between them all throughout. It was impossible to soy,
during the run, which would Will, as, if they had not been running
wide, a sheet would have covered the four; it at last turned out a
dead hest between Lord Warwick's colt and Mr. NVortley's
(The second heat below.)
Sweepstakes of 100. A. F.
2 to 1 and 5 to 2 on Serab.
This was an interesting race, as a keen eye was kept on Serab
from his having been one of the best horses f.ir the Derby last year.
Carrying light weights, Hajji Baba and Silkworm made the running
to the Bushes, when Serab came up and took the lead, his stride
being superior to the others. In going down hill he began to tell
them out, and, having shook them off, went up and won in gallant
style by half a length.
The seventh race, which was not run, when our account left, was—
Fifty Pounds by subscription ; for 3 yrs old, 7st. Sib ; 4 yes.
Ost. 11111.; 6 yes. yet. 41b. B.C.
Duke of Grafton's ch. f. Pucelle, S yrs - 1
lord G. H. Cavendish's b. c. Furbisher, 3 yrs - 2
3 and 4tol on Pucelle. It was declared at the poet that she
carried 41b. over her weight. Furbisher made running all the way
until past the Duke's Stand, when Pucelle came up and won easy.
Furbisher was tinelyjockeyed by young Dick Boyce.
The Dead Ileat.—lkcision.
The betting began at 6 to 4 on the atilt, at which odds immense
' sums were laid ; at last the mare's friends became so strong that she
got rather the favourite The Crecy colt made severe play, fol-
lowed by the mare till within the cords, when she came to his head.
A tremendous digging and slashing struggle ensued, which termi-
nated in the mare winning by a head. As whipping and tine a race
SS ever was run.
A match is expected to be made to-night foe 600, equal weights,
between Serab and Cedric. to be run across the Flat, and the public
are anxiously looking for it. Should it be made it will be one of
the most interesting matches since Sir Joshua and Filho da Puts.
The betting to-day has not varied except on Redgaundet, who
has got up to 13 to 1 (taken). We refer to our quotation of yeater.
I day for the odds. Tontine is the favourite for the 1,000 p. Stakes
to-moirow (this day).

THE COTTON IMPORTING and MANI:F.IC •
Trill NG COMPANY.

Capital 2,000:t0i01. in.ll'l,ooio Shares of 2001. each.

When human ingenuity has been daily exercised in forming
plans for public attention, it 111, been matter of surprise that the
great staple article of Cotton Wool should have been overlooked,
the weekly consumption of which is estimated at 12,000 hags, equal
to about 200.000/. sterling.
Large and extended as this quantity is, yet the merchants and
manufacturers in the trade are decidedly of opinion that, prospec-
tively viewed, it is merely in its infancy. These points, combined
with the overwhelming riches which have rolled in the treasuries of
those occupied in this branch of commerce, are substantial grounds
for inviting the attention of capi fal ist s. a:11111i tan &c. to participate
in an Establishment, which, from every calculation, must yield a
most anisfactory pxfit.
The distinguished patronage with which many of the great landed
proprietors of Ireland. and the solicitude his Majesty's Govern-
ment have shown to encourage the improvement of that country,
have fixed the attention of the promoters of this Company. The
result of their inquiries has satisfied them that the cheapness of
fuel, the low price of laud, provisions, and the reduced price of
labour, must create a saving of great magnitude, as compared with
Glasgow and Manchester.
Every one is acrainted with the fact that the very celebrated
Establishment of sew Lanark had its origin in the high rate of
provisions and wages in Lancashire ; that it was fomted by a Com-
pany, and that it has flourished in a degree even beyond the most
sanguine expectations of its projectors.
Ireland presents greater advantages, inasmuch as she possesses
good ports and a redundant population, whereas New Lanark was
most expensively colonized.
On these grounds Ireland has been selected, and the operations
I of the Company will be carried on in a part of it ascertained to
I be the most favourable in both a manufacturing and commercial
point of view.
A List of the Directors will shortly appear, comprising a portion
of respectable names connected with the Sister Kingdom.

The late severe losses sustained by the Shipping Interest of this
Kingdom, and the immense field opened to Great Britain for an
extended and increasing Commerce, by the enlightened policy of
our Government, have caused a corresponding and extraordinary
rise in the price of Ship-building.
Such, indeed, is now the demand for Vessels of an descriptions,
that many Persons, desirous of employing their Capital in Ship-
ping, cannot be supplied by the Builders with the tonnage they
require, except at very high prices, or under circumstances of delay,
often defeating the more immediate purpose of their speculations.
Is is therefore proposed to establish a Company, for the purpose
of building Vessels in British North America, on Contract and for
Sale, but it is intended, for the present, to confine the operations of
the Company to Canada only.
Immediate sales will be the object of the Company, but the
Directors shall be empowered to employ their shipping until dis-
posed of, and, in case of need, to purchase wood cargoes for the
purpose of loading their vessels.
The various advantages to be derived by a Company, established
fur the purpose of Ship-building in Canada, will not admit of detail
within the limits of a Prospectus ; but it may briefly be observed,
that. from practical experience, the following results may confi-
dently be anticipated.
Ist. The employment of a numerous anti useful class of persons
in the Settlement ; and by a beneficial diffusion of Capital and
Labour, an increase in the national importance of the Colony.
2dly. An ample remnueration to the Proprietors—who inde.
pendent of the local advantages which will attend their unilertak-
mg, may reasonably look to the favourable Rates of Exchange, and
the Freight in their Ships consigned to this country for Sale, as
sources of considerable and immediate Profit.
It remains only to add, that it is intended to construct Vessels
adapted for all trades and purposes, under the particular inspection
of the Company's Agents, by practised Shipwrights, and with such
due attention to the selection and seasoning 'of the Timber, as,
it is hoped, will materially improve the character of Vessels built
in Canada.
The Capital of the Company is son,opoi., raised in 10,000 Shares,
of 501. eacb, a portion of which will be reserved for Persons in
Canada desirous of becoming Share-holders.
The AtTairs of the Company to be conducted by the Board of
Directors, who shall have the power of insuring their propert
I and of making all necessary Regulations for the management of the
Company.
The property of the Company to be vested in the names of
Trustees.
A Deed of Settlement will be prepared tinder the ablest legal
advice. and the Sharebolders will be required to sign the same.
No Share shall be sold cr transferred until after the payment of
all calls previously made ; and then only with the consent of two or
more of the Directors.
An lost:dolma of rd. per Share, o baid into the hands of the
Bankers to the Company forthwitht, to e p
the account of the Directors.
Due notice to be given of all further Payments ; which shall not
at any one time exceed LI. per share.
All communications to be addressed to the Secretary, to whom
applications for Shares may be made ; but no Tetniers can be re-
ceived after Saturday, the =1 int.W,
