SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TAITERSA.LL'B.—TUESDAY, _
TUB SEMING,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 progressed
smoothly, and was brought to a satisfactory termination.
The two cases of default which have been most talked
about will, in all probability, be 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 150/.)
and allowed many of his friends to " stand in ;" his win-
nings in bets are therAfore inconsiderable.
Mr. Davis lost 20,0001. on the race ; had Kingstown
won he would have gamed 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
at the following prices :

CRICKET.

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 bt-autiful and effective batting on the part of Parr,
on behalf of the North, and by John Lillywhite for the
South. Fit 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 was 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 196.
