SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

The Cressida colt was backed freely yesterday, and at
the close of the room bad the call of Brunswicker, although
severally quoted at'S to 1. Neither of Sir Mark Wood's
two were in any request—Cetus, indeed, fell back a couple
of points, 14 to 1 being the last offers refused. Some out-
siders were backed, but the betting generally was limited
in amount, and unproductive of any important results.
Three fresh mares were barked for the Oaks. Mouche
and Maria were also in force, the latter in particular.
In the Riddlesworth 3 to 1 was offered on the field, and
offers to take 4 to I—bar one; Mahmoud and Cressida
are the favouritcs, but it is difficult to say which is first;
ever on the field agst two, and plenty willing 5 to 4 ; 5
to 1 agst any, bar Mahmoud and Cressida. The odds
closed thus

MEETING AT TILE MANSION HOUSE.-
After a long discussion on the state of the country, in
which Messrs. WA ITII NI N, HUNT, and NICHOLSON,
were the chief speakers, a petition praying Parliament to
institute an enquiry into the causes of the present distress
in the country, and to adopt such measures as may best
tend to an effectual and speedy removal of the same, vas
proposed and carried.

Sumburgh-head, in Shetland, during the late
gales, was visited with a kind of sand -flood, which for
days drifted in clouds over Sumburgh-head ; and great
heaps of sand have also been lodged at the Mansion-house
of Sumbmgla (the Jarlshof of the Pirate), and although
the site of the Light-house is SO feet above the level of
the sea, yet the sprays were carried over the house in such
quantities, as to detroy the water collected iu tanks from
the roof, obliging the keepers to supply themselves by
cartage from a distance.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.

HERRING FISIIING.—During the last foul--
ten days the fishing hat been very successful in the Firth
of Forth, especially off Aletliti and Leven. The take Las
generally been front five to fifteen crat-s a ho:!f; and at the
prices have fallen in proportion, the fishermen are now be-
ginning to consider them too Onindant. On Wednesday
last they were sold from the boats at Is. and Is. 6d. a
hundred, and retailed at six a penny. Within the 1a..4
eight days above 30,000 have been sent to Glasgow, and
places in that twighbourhood, and the hawking enables a
number of both women and men to earn a subsisterxe, who
would otherwise be in all likelihood obliged to apply to the
last honest expedient of the wretched, a soup kitchen.—

part of the Serpentine there were not more than twenty
or thirty persons. and no spectators. In St Jiffies's-
park the number was greater ; but the piece !d- water in
ppar:n. enaTdie,:r.aasi
the Regent's-park was crowded with fa,hionzible and re-
spectable people. The
