SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

Although most of the afternoon was spent in paying
and receiving, yet a good deal of business was trans-
acted at intervals on the St. Leger. At first the invest-
ments on King Tom, at 4to 1, exceeded 300/. In the
City, indeed, in the course of the morning, 700 to 200
was taken in one het ; but, notwithstanding such de-
monstrations in his favour, his position was manifestly
unsteady ; at length 5 to 1 was betted, but the layer was
the first to tire ; several persons stepped in to the rescue,
and the King returned to 4to 1. 6 to 1 to 200/. and 11
to 2 in ponies were betted against Dervish ; 6to 1 taken
in the aggregate to 1501. about The Trapper, and 10
to 1 to some money about Scythian, who had an ad-
vancing tendency at the close ; 500 to 25 taken about
Autocrat, 1,000 to 50 The Knight of St. George, 1,000
to 45 Marsyas, and 50 to 1 to a small sum about Cala-
inns. Acrobat was evidently tumbling ; from 20 to 1,
taken at the commencement, he fell to 25 to 1, taken
and offered.

With the exception that 4 to 1 was taken freely about
Heapy for the Ebor Handicap, the rest of the betting
was on a very limited scale.

In the course of the afternoon the following announce.
mentwas posted in the room :

"We, tile undersigned members of the committee of
the room, hereby express our opinion that all persons
indebted to Mr. Arnold for Epsom or previously are
bound to pay Mr. Hughes, who has his account up to
that time. (Signed) "C. GREVILLE.
" August 7, 1854." " H. Rous.
To explain this, it is necessary to state that, owing to
ill-health, Mr. Arnold, on the 25th of June, appointed
Mr. Hughes to settle his Derb✓ account for him ; but in
the exercise of his office, Mr. Hughes met with so ninny
procrastinating excuses that he was at length compelled
to submit the case to the committee of the room, who
delivered their opinion to day in the above form. The
consequence will be that they who persist iu refusing to
settle with Mr. Hughes will be held in the category of
defaulters, and will be liable to the " rules and regula-
tions in that case made and provided."
