SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALLS'.—LAsT EVENING.

The hard frost having put a check upon hunting for the
nonce, induced several members who combine a love of the
chase with their racing propensities to pay a visit to Tatter-
sall's this afternoon. But besides, several wended their way
westward in expectation of seeing the complete list of the
Chester Cup entries, in which, however, they were disap-
pointed. For the reasons already mentioned, there was a
better attendance than we have seen for several weeks, but
speculation did not take a wide range, nor were there any
very heavy investments made. For the Two Thousand sto

1 was offered on the field, and 13 to 2 taken about Paris,
half a point more being offered against Cambuscan. Scottish
Chief was decidedly " fishy," as, after 1,000 to 90 had been
laid, there were frequent offers to go on at the price, with
no takers. The only feature of the day's movements was
the advance of Paris, 100 to 8 having been booked in his
favour to £250. Cambuscan did not seen is suffer by hay..
ing been recently the object of so much solicitude in certain
quarterq, 100 to 7 being taken about Captain White's horse,
although, before the close, the same price was obtainable to
any amount. 7,000 to 60 each was accepted about the two
" dark' cracks, Blair Athol and Forager, t.fter 20 to 1 had
been laid against the latter. A few outsiders were intro-
duced, but the transactions in their favour, as well as the
other animals backed, require no comment beyond the 101-1
1 lowing list of quotations. Closing prices :

THE CONVICT SAMUEL WJiIGIIT.—The memorial
on behalf of Samuel Wright, emanating from a meet-
ing of working men held at the Lambeth Baths on Christ-
mas Eve, was yesterday presented at the Home Office.
It contains 2,540 signatures. Other memorials have been
forwarded to the Home Secretary, numerously signed by
housekeepers and others. Several declarations prepared by
Mr. Scott, solicitor, of Staples• inn, containing important
statements with reference to the prisoner and the deceased
woman, were also handed to Sir George Grey yesterday

morning.
hMY MEDICAL SUPPLIES.—The Lancet com-
tinheenltsodoitaint hm9edsiecrailoussercvoickne,polafintthse, by the
medicines, and states that the disasters of the `arm
3CCPCIP:1111; eoa off
though not meeting with an exact parallel in India, are, in
the aggregate, vastly exceeded. The important medicines
which late years hive been introduced into the practical
a
treatment of various familiar diseases—such aspodophyllin
in liver affections, saraconia iu smallpox are completely
unattainable; and others, in constant use in England—
sucti as pepsine and lithia—aro only so in India through
the private purchases of the surgoons. Our contemporary
also points to deficiency in the supply of instruments, and
well asks, why, in a country where opthalmia is so preva-
lent, the opthalmoscope is not available, and why the
microscope, laryngoscope, and the hypodermic syringe are
still withheld P
