SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWCASTLE.—MINOR CONSIDERATIONS.
The recent " doings";,in the Turf Market are not of
sufficient significance tp induce me either to alter or
modify the opinions which I yesterday expressed respect-
ing the NorthumberlanitPlate. On the contrary, they
are calculated to confirm and strengthen them.
The Minor Stakes to be decided on Wednesday eliad
Thursday alone, remain for consideration. They are
comparatively unimportant, and, therefore, require but
brief discussion. Indeed, the betting indicates that the
success of certain animals is regarded as a foregone con-
clusion. Recent experience, however, at Stockbridge
and elsewhere, shows how frequently the most seem-
ingly sound calculations may be upset.
Fourteen horses have accepted for the Free Handi-
cap ; the most favourably weighted appear to be Lerry-
wheut, Worcester, and Bold Davie. Should Honey-
wood and Vindex meet for the Produce Stakes, an
interesting race will be afforded, and although the
former's chance is regarded with most partiality by
the public, yet, should he encounter Vindex, his victory
may be jeopardised.
Beauty and Bridesmaid figure most conspicuously in
the betting for the Tyro Stakes ; little is known of the
character of their probable opponents to justify san-
guine expectations of the success of either.
Among the nominations for her Majesty's Plate are
several rses that are engaged in the Northumberland
Plate also ; it is, therefore, almost impossible to ascer-
tain their owners' intentions respecting them. On paper,
the respective chances of Kingston, Chief Justice, and
Honeywood attract favourable notice. Still Kingston
may be reserved to do battle for the Gold Cup on the
subsequent day.
My next " ath:ces" will be dispatched from New-
castle, where, by the time the above remarks are in
type, I shall be located.

A FRESH MAN.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

Subscribers mustered numerously, notwithstanding
the attractions at Newcastle.

NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE.-At the commencement
Red Lion and Cardinal Wiseman were in most demand,
a circumstance chiefly attributable to the spirit with
which they were backed in the course of the morning in
the city. Towards the close, however, Doublethong
was backed to win a largo stake, first at 15 to 1 to 751.;
next at 1,500/. to 90, taken twice ; and afterwards at
intervening odds, to the quotation given below. Gold-
finder was friendless until nearly the last moment, when
a commission to the extent of five " monkeys" to one
was quietly executed ; at the same time a rallying effort
was made for Goorkah, and from 12 to 1 offered, he re-
turned to 10 to 1 taken. Chief Justice was quite
friendless.

GOODWOOD STAKES. —A strong commission was in the
market to back Sextus at 10 1, but only 8 to 1 was ob-
tainable ; at that figure, however, several investments
were made. From 1,000 to 00 Gossip advanced to 12
to 1 ; and the movements respecting Hobbyhorse indi-
cated his attainment of a more prominent position in
public favour.

ST. LEGER.—Tho favourite was firm at "evens," 8 to
1 each agst Reiver and Sittingbourne laid to a small sum,
and 10 to 1 about Cineas.

DERBY.-At one time 13 to 1 was laid agst Autocrat,
but the last bet booked about him was 550 to 50, 2,000
to 100 taken about Prince Arthur, 1,500 to 60 about
Paxton, and 2,000 to 60 Andover.
