SPORTING INTELIIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S, MKsznAnr.
One of the most fashionable and mmeroue meetings that
have been(witnessed here for many pars 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 appured to be unusually
plentiful, and led to the belief that it had been a drawn
battle between the layers and baczers, the preliminary
settling passing off with the greatest Smoothness and with-
out a whisper of an absentee. Severd of the oldest mem-
bers present expressed their opinon that it was the
greatest settling within their recolleclon. One vi ell-known
speculator had no less than £200,00( to pass through h;s
hands, and appeared delighted with the progress of his
heavy task. This day wiil be devotet to the final winding
up of the outstanding balances, whidt, from present ap-
pearances, give every hope of a satisfa tory conclusion. As
might have been anticipated, not a be.was made during the
afternoon upon future events here : ►ut just prior to our
leaving some betting took place at thi entrance upon the
French event, for which Lord Clifder was in great force,
as tittle as 7 to 4 being taken. La To cques also was in-
quired after and supported at 2 to 1. At the same time
The Ranger and Saceharometer were rentioned, but wet
with little or no favour at the odds, or 4to 1 and 6 to / 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 teen
symbolic of the wealth and power of the English netion.
In addition to the noble buildings
.recently erected there,
two new structures are already d esigned for this ancient
seat of the Lombards—new banking premises for an old and
wealthy firm, and new offices for the Royal Insurance Com
pany. The site of the latter structure is at the western
corner of Clement's-lane, immediately otposite the present
Royal Insurance Buildings, erected only in 1857, and which,
after the lapse of so comparatively short a period, are found
bu gaged pulling down
