SPORTING INTELLIGENWL

TAT rE RS ALL'S.—TUESDAY.
THE SETTLING-DAY.
Tuesday has told its own tale, and dispelled the
doubts which were entertained as to the nature of the
settling.
The business of paying and receiving progre.sed
smoothly, and was brought to a satisfactory termination.
The two cases of default which have been moet talked
about will, in all probability, he very shortly arranged
on terms alike honourable to the debtors and their cre-
ditor-. From that section of the Ring generally deno-
minated " little men" several absentees were, as usual,
reported.

The winners on the Derby are principally "gentlemen
sportsmen"—properly so called—and a large body of the
public who placed the strongest confidence in the
prowess of Wild Dayrell, the integrity of his owner, and
the honesty of the trainer and the jockey. It is said
that Mr. Popham backed his horse at 66 to 1 for 3501.,
and allowed many of his friends to " stand in ;" his win-
nings in bets are therefore inconsiderable.
Mr. Davis lost 20,0001. on the race ; had Kingstown
won he would have gained 40,0001. Part of his losses
were recovered on the Oaks, the balance in his favour
on that event being to the extent of 5,000/.
In the course of the afternoon several bets were laid
al, the following prices :

THE NORTH OF ENGLAND v. THE SOUTH

OF ENGLAND.

This match was resumed yesterday at Lord's, where
there was a large gathering of spectators. There was
some beautiful and effective batting on the part of Parr,
on behalf of the North, and by John Lillywhite for the
South. For this they were called up to the Pavilion,
and presented with a new ball as a mark of honour.
At the close of Monday's play the South had lost 7
wickets for 88 runs. This amount yesterday they in-
creased to 144. Adams added 9 more to his previous
score of 5, and John Lillywhite was not disposed of
until he had placed the figures 43 upon the score. Mr.
Drake obtained 21. At the termination of this hand
the South were 41 runs ahead. The North in due time
entered upon their second hands, and yielded 111, to-
wards which total Parr contributed no fewer than 53.
Tinley made an offering of 19. The South were not
able to accumulate more than 52 in their second innings.
Of these Caffyn gave 11, and Adams (not out) 10.
It has not often been that more brilliant play has
been shown. Wisden wag in fine bowling, and as for
Clarke he was scarcely touchable in the second innings.
The South, although they were the headmost side by 41
on the first innings, ultimately lost the match by 18
runs, the gross totals. being 214 and 19G.

Frascati Railway Company, with a capital of 320,0001.,

of raising the value of their stock at least 10 per cent.,

SOUTH-WESTERN. THE PARLIAMENTARY
CASE.
We hear that persons high in authority and position
have had an interview with certain M.P.s who took an
active part on the bill, the result of which has been to
convince them that the committee on the bill had acted
not only unjustly towards the South-Western share-
holder.,, but had encouraged an illegal act in the pledge
which neither directors nor shareholders could legally
give. It is, therefore, contemplated by the dissentients
to memorialise theEouse of Lords against the clauses i
the present bill, which, if it be thrown out, it is intended
to present next year without the clauses, and they believe
it will pass in that shape.—Herapath's Railway Journal.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the _Report of Gee Registrar-General. )

The return for the weak that ended last Saturday does
not discover any decrease in the rather high rate of mor-
tality which has lately prevailed in London, and which
is as great at the end of May as it was in the beginning
of the month, and is even higher than it was in the last
two weeks of April. Last 1,187 deaths were registered.
In the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1845-54,
the average number was 951, which, if raised by a tenth
part for Increase of population, becomes 1,046. It ap-
pears that 141 persons died last week more than would
have died according to the ordinary rate of mortality in
the fourth week of May.

The class of zymotic diseases shows a disposition to in-
crease. The weekly numbers referred to it lately run
thus : 214, 210, 220, and (last week) 246. These 243
cases are distributed under particular heads as follows :
small-pox 29, measles 16, scarlatina 52, hooptng-cough
52, croup 12, thrush 3, diarrhoea 15, dysentery 5, influenza
1, remittent fever 4, typhus 43, metria (puerperal fever)
1, rheumatic fever 1, erysipelas 8, syphilis 3, and noma 1.
Scarlatina, which averaged 40 in some previous weeks,
rose to 52. Three deaths were registered from this dis
ease in each of the following sub-districts :—St. Paul,
Hammersmith ; West London (South) ; and
Poplar. Seventeen, or nearly a half, of the deaths caused
by other fever, occurred in the east districts. Pfithisis is
much more fatal than any other special disease ; it num-
bered 170 cases last week, about 30 more than the usual
number in corresponding weeks.
Last week the births of 855 boys and 767 girls, in all
1,622 children, were registered in London. In the ten
corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average
number was 1,399.

temperature was 55.4 degs., which is 0.9 degs. above
the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean
daily temperature was 8 degs. below the average on Mon-
day, and continued below it on the two following days,
rose 10 (legs, above the average on Saturday. The mean
temperature on Saturday was 65.3 degs. The highest tem-
perature of the week occurred on the same day, and
was 81.5 degs. ; the lowest was 39.5 degs., and occurred.,
on Monday. The mean temperature of the water of tie
Thames in the week was 53 degs. The mean dew-po frit
temperature was 48.5 dep., and the difference bet%feen
that and the mean temperature of the air was 6.9 degs.
The highest reading of a self-registering therrnon-geter in
the sun was 105 degs. on Saturday. The wirr:l, which
on the two previous days had been in the north, blew
on Wednesday, Thureday, and Friday from. the south
and south-east, and on Saturday changed to north-east.
Hardly any rain fell in the week.
