SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

At the early part of the afternoon (although the room
was numerously attended) the betting flagged terribly; in-
stead of talking of this year's Derby, they were descanting
upon last year's St. Leger, the comparative merits; of
Chifney and Scott. One important movement, however,
was made in the St. Leger, which created quite a sensation.
The Cressida colt was brought into notice by some of the
chief speculators, and backed by them with remarkable avi-
dity as low as 14 and 15 to 1 ; he also maintained his
ground fur the Riddlesworth and Derby. This extraordinary
change cannot arise from any other influence than that of
money, for none of the horses have had hard work enough
of late to enable their trainers to try them. As the after-
noon advanced several gentlemen Jropt in, amongst them a
gallant Captain, who was remarkably sweet upon Saw
Chifney's Wrangler colt (an unfashionable sort), named
Snarl. Ile not only took the odds outright, but backed Una
against many others for a thousand each. The Mouse colt
produced a most important feature in the betting ; up to
five o'clock the odds currently offered were 9 to 1, and
these very freely, by a person of considerable influence: At
this time a gentleman connected with the Mouse party
made his appearance in the room, and, by his anxiety to
back the horse, not only stopped the nines to one, bat had
the curious effect of making the offer of them turn round
and back him at even against the other three favourites.
The revulsion was complete, and at the close of the betting
Mouse was at S to 1 only, and nearly as good as Cressida.
The Mummer is tolerably firm at 84 to 1, while Bruns-
wicker is any thing than steady at 10 to 1. The Sal colt
daily gets into greater force. Little was done on the Oaks
beyond taking the odds about Capt. Haffenden's Slipper
filly (by mistake called Spindle last week). The day's
business did not close till after six o'clock, and averaged al
follows :

The leading passion developed in Mr. GOD'
wttes new Novel of " Cloudesley," is worthy of the
powerful genius of that great writer. It is remorse. The
frightful condition of a guilty conscience is said to be
exhibited with awful effect.

It is generally believed that the Speaker will,
about Easter, be called to the House of Peers by the title of
Lord Lxxmcnow. This title, though now extinct, war
about a century ago borne by one of the &mow family-
The alsocia'ions which, some fifty years ago, would hays
made this title not very agreeable, are now almost forgot-
ten ; for who now feels a personal interest in the origins
or progress, or results even of the American war? Ss-

verel candidates for the Speaker's chair are mentioned ;
but it is premature to give the names. We may, how,
ever, have occasion to recur to this subject.

Last Saturday fortnight a rattle-snake made
its escape on the Oxford-road, from one of the caravans
belonging to Mr. WOMBWELL. We have been informed
that this unwelcome visitor has been seen and beard in
the neighbourhood of Hardwick, two miles from Eun-
church, but has not yet been caught.—Cambrian.
