SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YE STEI :DAY.
The declaration of the weignts for the Chester 'Cup,
if it failed to give an impulse to busiaess, had the effect
of driving Haresfoot out of the market, and of giving
the lead in the betting to two animals—Ariosto and
Grand Duke—who had previously been scarcely meia-
tioned; nothing else was backed to any extent. The
andhandicap, although open to some objections, is generally
approved. Some rather heavy transactions; were effected

SERIOUS Loss IN A F p —Mr.
LOCK or SHER-
.
Trickett, farmer, of Hill-top Farm, in the Pariah of Dron-
field, sustained a severe loss late on Saturday evening last,
or early the following morning. He had 25 fine in-lambed
ewes in one of his closes, and some dogs, apparently large
ones by the footmarks left, worried five of them dead. When
opened they were found to contain two lambs each. The
dogs also ran two into a pool of water, in which they were
found drowned. The remainder were dispersed in all direc-
tions—some were found in Barlow-woods, some in Piper-
wood, others on Hill-top, and at various places in the
neighbourhood. All of them were severely bitten about the
head, neck, and legs; many had sustained much loss of
wool, and, what appears strange, there was with them a ram,
and the only sheep that had not received serious damage.--

and the Prince of Wales, by his gift of 250 guineas' had been
constituted a governor, with a presentation for life. The
total receipts (including a balance from last year of 3947. 55.
4d.) had been 2,8081. 4s. 4d., and after all the nece:lsary
expenses had been paid, there was left in the hands or the
treasurer the small sum of 41. Os. Bd. A discussion ensued
as to the propriety of altering rule 2, so ea to enable the
children to remain longer in the institution—the boys till
14, and the girls till 13 years of age; and ultimately a reso-
lution to that effect was carried unanimously. The election
then took place.

atrocious crime was resumed at Banbury yesterday, but was
not brought to a close. Several circumstances, however, of
a suspicious nature were preyed against •

poisoner, who, it
may be remembered, is the nephew of the deceased Mr.
Ralabergo ; and he was again remanded.
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND MIDLAND
RAILWAYS.—The long-pending negotiations between these
two companies are understood to have terminated in an
agreement that neither of them, without consultation, shall
entertain terms with other railways competing with them.
THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH.—This new and large
American steamer has now been out thirty-eight days on her
voyage from Liverpool to Philadelphia. It is thought that
he may have put into the Western Islands.
