POLICE-THIS DAY.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY.

The bustle and excitement that annually attend the ad-
vent of the great racing carnival at Epsom, from one end
of the metropolis to the other, was, on the present oocasion,
more manifest than ever. The Corner was most nume-
rously attended, the room and lawn being extensively pa-
tronised by the leading magnates of the turf. Its avenue
from Grosvenor-place was all but impassable by the dense
throng assembled to gather the latest intelligence and the
final state of the odds. Speculation commenced early, but
made but slow progress for some time. At length a little
spirit was infused into the transactions by the avidity ex-
hib!ted to get on Neptunus and Argonaut; the former
speedily rose 6 to 1, with plenty of backers, and he left off
decidedly second favourite ; and the latter from 25 to 1, his
opening price, to 12 to 1, taken to win some thousands.
The Marquis was in great demand, but layers were ex-
tremely scarce, and at the close of the room we doubt if 3 to
1 could have been obtained. The hostility to Buckstone
was again in force; half a point more than his opening
price was repeatedly offered without meeting with a reply;
at last 7 to 1 in hundreds was laid by a wellknown book-
maker, and offered at the close. 100 to 6 each was taken
and offered about the Stockwell colt and Zetland, the latter
apparently out of favour. Ensign was inquired for, and,
after some fencing as to the price, 100 to 7 was noted down
several times. 40 to 1 each was betted to smaller amounts
against Caractacus, Malek, Lord Burleigh, and Notting-
ham. Several of the outside division were also mentioned,
and backed, but more for hedging purposes than any chance
they may possess; their names will be found in the sub-
joined list of the closing prices. The Oaks was but slightly
noticed, the fillies mentioned being supported but for small
sums.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY.

There was no change in the position of the favourite, who
still remains very firm; neither was there any alteration in
the quotation about Buckatone, but we saw no disposition
evinced to lay more than 6to L Neptunus was in great
force, 7to 1 being booked about him. Argonaut was freely
supported at 20 to 1; and Spite, who on Saturday was at
40 to 1, had friends to-day at 33 to 1. All the money that
could be obtained at 40 to 1 was taken about Malek. For
the Woodcote Stakes, 3 to 1 each was taken about Lord
Clifden and Saccharometer, but towards the close Lord
Clifden was supported at 5 to 2, and finished at 2to 1,
which was the highest offer. Closing prices :

Baily's Magazine for June contains an exquisite portrait
of Lord Stamford, and in the memoir which accompanies it
there is a lengthy exposition of his lordship's virtues and
his prowess ac a sportsman. The " Gentleman in Black"
sketches the crack rides of the Pytchley Hunt with an ease
and truthfulness quite equal to anything of Nimrod's in his
best day. And John Davis contributes a spirited and
scorching ballad on the scratching of Old Celabar for the
Derby, which is certain to be appreciated by the friends of
that great but truly unfortunate horse.

THE SLAVE TRADE. _ _

Lord BROUGHAM regretted the absence of the noble
earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, as the question he
wished to put was so important that not a day nor an hour
ought to elapse before a bill was brought in to prevent ships
being fitted out for the slave trade at Liverrool. He
alluded to the case of the Nightingale,and asked if the Go-
vernment had consulted the law officers of the Crown with
respect to it.
Earl GRANVILLE suggested to the noble and learned.
lord that he should give notice of his question.
