SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.

Betting was flat, and the changes few and of little import.
It is only necessary to point out a slight improvement in Bro-
to Euclid, Ottoman, and Glenorchy, and the decline of a
point in Muley Ishmael, whose friends refused to take less than
20 to 1. Nothing fresh on the Oaks.

THE DEVIL'S LAWS.—That the landed interest
will not yield to the just demands of the people, a long,
experience too amply testifies of them. But it re-
mains to be seen whether they may not yet be glad to
quail before a stomach plague, and to yield to the (la-
mends of gaunt and desperate famine. It is scarcely
.50 years since a neighbouring people made the country
too hot to hold their aristocracy ; and the present con-
duct of our own is going far towards provoking a re-
tribution of ano less fearful description. A few of the
more rational Aristocrats, Whig as well as Tory, seem
to be a little apprehensive of this, and it is hinted in
their organs of the Press, that a modification of the
existing system may be agreed to by way of compro-
mise. We earnestly hope, however, that the League
will never listen for a moment to so insidious a proposal.
But the question now, we think, is not for the League,
but the people to determine. After being pillaged (lur-
ing eleven years of '2O millions annually, will they sub-
mit to be robbed of half as much more perhaps under a
new system of spoliation ? Most assuredly they never
will.—Scots Times.
WRIT OF MANDAMUS AGAINST THE ST.
PANCRAS VESTRY.—Wednesday, at a meeting of the
vestry of the parish of St. Pancras, a gentleman named
Boddy entered the room, and, advancing toward the
chairman and vestry clerk, stated that he held in his
hand a writ of mandamus from the Court of Queen's
Bench, calling upon the vestry forthwith to proceed to a
new election of vestrymen and auditors of accounts, and
his object in attending there was to serve the writ in ques-
tion upon the vestry clerk, as the official organ of the
vestry. Mr. Boddy added that copies of the writ had
already been served on the churchwardens and several
of the vestrymen, and having handed the writ to Mr.
M'Gahey, the vestry clerk, retired. Mr. M`Gahey read
the writ, which, after alluding to the various circum-
stances upon which it was applied for and granted, con-
cluded by commanding the vestry to proceed forthwith
to a new election of 46 vestrymen and five auditors of
accounts, or make a return to the said writ on or be-
fore the 11th of January, IS4O. After some discussion
the writ was referred to a Committee, to inquire into
the best course to be adopted, and to report to the
vestry forthwith.
CAPTAIN CHAMIER'S NEW NOVEL " TIIE
SPITFIRE."—The new work of this highly entertaining
and truthful writer is now published, and it more than
answers to the anticipations which its announcement
excited. Though not strictly a naval novel—for half
its incidents occur on shore—it will, doubtless, prove
the more, rather than less, successful' on that account,
as it appeals to a larger variety of tastes, and developes
a more extensive range of character. Its story, which
is highly wrought up, turns on that inexhaustible source
of ro:nantic interest—a disputed inheritance ; and the
force and spirit with which many of the darker lines of
character are traced, present a striking contrast to the
lighter and more fashionable" fictions of the day.
" The Spitfire- is decidedly one of Captain Chainier's
moat Successful productions.
