SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

From an interesting report of the Local Board ol
Health for the parochial district of Regent Square
Church, St. Pancras, we learn that the population of the
district is about 9,900, giving an average of nine persor
to each house, there being 1,100 houses included in the
district, disp.sed in the following- manner : 415 of the
higher classes ; 685 of the lower classes (113 dwellings
in mews bein, included in the latter number)—togetlier
snaking 1,1007 which is 1-17th part of the houses in the
parish of St. Pancras, or 1-280th part of the whole num-
ber of inhabited houses of London, according to the re-
turns of the last census. During the past six months
the inspector has made 1,453 personal inspections in va-
rious parts of the district, 130 notices and letters have
been served upon 63 different landlords—requirig the
removal and abatement of nuisances ,existing on their
premises ; 172 separate dwelling houses have been in-
cluded in the above notices, in connectio less n

hich
1,101 visits have been made.
No
639 separate sources of infection have been, or are
about being abolished, by the removal of cessps,
the renew/of drains, the renewal of sinks, and the
re-eel
of
moval of refuse. Taking the average superficial area
each cesspool to be about eight square feet, they have
succeeded in closing, or are now causing to be closed,
1,344 square feet of excrementitious matter (of an ave-
rage depth of 2 feet 6 inches), the exhalations from
which form the most injurious description of infectious
effluvia. Taking the average length of the drains of
y each house to be 30 feet only, they have caused or are
now causing the renewal orC leansing of 5,100 lineal
feet of foul house drains. More than half of the works
required to be done in the district are now completed in
a systematic manner, and the total expenses incurred
by the board, including printing and inspector's salary'
has been less than fifty pounds. This is what has been
effected in a fe,v months in this district, which contains
but the 280th part of the total number of the inhabited
houses of London. Is it, therefore, unreasonable to
assert (adds the report) that 280 times the good might
have been achieved in the same time, had l means
been resorted to, by every district in the
w metroponli is
os ?
Granting the fairness of this assertion,
inter, the conv

abolished, or in course of anihilation ; cres of eva-
porating surface of ccecal matter with an average depth
of 2 feet 6 in.) might have been obliterated; 270 miles
of foul house drains_ might have beech rency.fed,cleansed,
or in co-urso 0f Veing so treated.

TA.TTERSALLTS—YesTenDAY.
There was a full attendance throughout the afternoon,
and, considering all the untoward circumstances which
have for some time past " troubled" the course of specu-
lation, the settling on the Ascot events was comparatively
smooth and harmless.
At intervals the Northumberland Plate and the Derby
received some attention. For the former Aribbas main-
tained his position as first favourite, and 7 and 6 to I
were taken about The Early Bird, notwithstanding some
City shots at 100 to 7 against him in the course of the
forenoon. Grapehot and Kingston were on a par with
him, and a good deal of confidence appeared to be place
in Baalbec.
The Derby betting is already marked by short pricee'
—lO to 1 agst Grreculus Esuriens, 15 to 1 agst Oulstou;
20 to 1 agst the Flatterer, and 25 to 1 each agst Bonnie
Morn and Dirk Hatterick were taken to various sums.
30 to 1 was laid once or twice in ponies agst Bonnie
Morn, but 25 to 1 was the current price at the close.
Dirk Hatterick was backed for about 2001. at the odds
quoted.

SALE OF YEARLINGS FROM THE ROYAL
PADDOCKS.
The undermentioned yearlings from the royal paddoeins
at Hampton Court were sold yesterday at Tattersatree
and realised prices which showed that the selection of
mares had been most judicious; and there is no doub'4
that if the stud was upon the same scale that was ob-
served in the reign of William IV., it would again be-
come not only profitable, but would tend to preserve to
our own country the best blood of our thoroughbred
horses.
A few days before the sale a brother to Voltigeur and
a sister to Grapeshot, two of the finest yearlings in the
stock, unfortunately broke their legs, and were de-
stroyed.

catcher out of Jamaica, bay filly by Bay Middleton, an&
