SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY.
One of the most fashionable and numerous meetings that
have been[witnessed here for many years began to assemble
at an early hour, the heavy nature of the transactions de-
cided at Epsom during the week rendering a long afternoon
absolutely necessary. Money appeared to be unusually
plentiful, and led to the belief that it had been a drawn
battle between the layers and backers, the preliminary
settling passing off with the greatest smoothness and with-
out a whisper of an absentee. Several of the oldest mem-
bers present expressf,d their opinion that it was the
greatest settling within their recollection. One well-known
speculator had no less than £200,000 to pass through h's
hands, and appeared delighted with the progress of his
heavy task. This day will be devoted to the final winding
up of the outstanding balances, which, from present ap-
pearances, give every hope of a satisfactory conclusion. As
might have been anticipated, not a bet was made during the
afternoon uptn future events here : but just prior to our
leaving some betting took place at the entrance upon the
French event, for which Lord Clifden was in great force,
as tittle as 7 to 4 being taken. La Toucques also was in-
quired after and supported at 2 to 1. At the same time
The Ranger and Saccharometer were mentioned, but net
with little or no favour at the odds, or 4 to 1 and 6 to 1 re-
spectively.

THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY'S NEW
OFFICES, LOMBARD-STREET.—Lombard-street, for
centuries associated with the banking and monetary inte-
rests of the City, is in a fair way of becoming as distin-
guished for its architectural magnificence as it has long been
symbolic of the wealth and power of the English netion.

In addition to the noble buildings recently erected there,
two new structures are already designed for this ancient
seat of the Lombards—new banking premises for an old and
wealthy firm, and new offices for the Royal Insurance Com•
pane. The site of the latter structure is at the western
ct posite the present

so that the extent of the area to be occupied by the new

pile is apparent to passers-by. The new buildings will have
a frontage in Lombard-street of 54ft., in Clement's-lane of
75ft., and will rank with the best of the modern embellish-
ments of the City. The architect is Mr. Jnhn Belcher, of

tect of the Royal Insurance Buildings erected in 1857.-

WHITS

EtIENTS,

HAYMARKET.
The great success of the last new comedy,
"Finesse ; or, Spy and Counter Spy," with the
Wigans, and the lessee's splendid panorama of the
travels of the Prince of Wales in the Holy Land,
rendered tiny special attraction for Whitsuntide
quite unnecessary here. The audience last evening
enjoyed thoroughly the amusement provided for
them, and rewarded the labours of the lessee and
manager with the most enthusiastic applause. The
array of fashionables in private boxes and stalls
was something extraordinary. The other portions
of the house were all fully attended.

LYCEUM.
" The Duke's Motto," which ever since the open-
ing of the house under Mr. Fechter's auspices has
constituted its chief attraction, was relied on to
attract the public,and the reliance was well founded,
for the house was crowded. It is to the genius of
Mr. Pechter, who performs the principalcharacter,
that the success of the piece is mainly due. He
played Henri de la Garde last night for the 109th
time with his usual grace and freshness.

ADELPHI.
At the Adelphi last night the entertainments
consisted of Mr. Stirling Coyne's drama, " Angel
or Devil," supported by Miss Avonia Jones, Mr.
Toole, and Mr. Billington ; the recently produced
farce of Messrs. W. Brough and Halliday, "The
Wooden Spoonmaker," with Mr. Webster's striking
and powerful impersonation of the old man ; the
capital burlesque of Mr. Byron's, "11l Treated Il
Trovatore," in which Miss Carry and Miss Sara
Nelson appeared as Manrico and Leonora respec-
tively, supported by Mr. Toole as Azucena, Mr.
Paul Bedford as the Kinchin, and Mr. Philips as
the Count di Luna; and Mr. Mark Lemon's extra-
vaganza "Domestic Economy." Never was Whit-
.

suntide audience happier or more merry, and never
did artists exert thetnselvesmore zealously to amuse.
It is needless to say the house was crowded.
