SPURTING INTELLIGENCE,

TATTERSALL' S— YESTRRDI r.
The attendance was again pretty numerous, and business, with-
out being so heavy as we have been accustomed to at this part of
the year, was far from uninteresting. Bamboo was the lion of the
day—the first bet laid against him was 500 to 20—the next 1000
to 50 ; 18 to 1 was then taken freely, and, just as the room closed,
500 to 30, and 800 to 50. The crack maintained his position, and
Alemdar was backed with some spirit towards the close at 14 to 1.
Young Ilowton, lon, and the Early Bird were a shade the worse.
In the early part of the day 18 to 1 was laid against the Nonplus
colt, but, partially recovering, he was quoted at two points less at
the finish. No change in Bullion, D'Egville, or Cobham. Con-
servator, Bretby, Amato, and Beggarrian, will be found to havo
advanced on last weeks prices--each was backed in three or four
quarters. The room did not close until half-past six o'clock, at
which time the average odds were as follow :

NOURMAIIAL, THE LIGHT OF THE HAREM."
—Mr. Ruin's new oriental fiction, under the above title is to
be published, we understand, during the present week. This
gentleman, like Hope and Morier, sojourned a considerable
time in the East, and his intimate acquaintance with the man-
ners and customs of oriental nations is such as to afford every
prospect of his new
work presenting us with a series of pictures
of eastern life, as gorgeous and romantic as any contained in
the popular " Anastatius," or " Hajji Baba."
MEMOIRS OF SIR WILLIAM KNIGHTON,
BAIT., G. C. H.--We are requested to state that the new
work, entitled " Memoirs of Sir William Knighton, Bart.,
G. C. H. , Keeper of the Privy Purse during tile Reign of
George IV. by Lady Knighton," is this day published by Mr.
Bentley, New Burlington-street, (Publisher in Ordinary to
her Majesty). Agents for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Brad-
fute, Edinburgh; for Ireland, Mr. John Cumming, Dublin.
Orders received of all Booksellers.
The success of The Lady of Lyons, which, be it
remembered, was presented by Mr. Bulwer to Mr. Macready
as a tribute to honour, and, if it might be, to aid his great
effort to restore the stage to moral respectability and literary
character, induced Mr. Macready to address a letter of
acknowledgment to the author, and, as an instalment of its
produce, inclose a cheque for two hundred guineas. That
cheque was returned in a letter, which it has been our gratifi-
cation to see, and which is a splendid instance of disinterested-
ness in the individual, and of a just appreciation of higher ob-
jects than pecuniary reward. To estimate Mr. Macready's
exertions and sacrifices is something, but to lay so noble a tes-
timony of that estimation on the altar of personal sympathies
and a public cause is alike honourable to the receiver and the
giver; we know no praise too high for it. With such an ex-
ample, who will doubt the ultimate issue of the struggle to
reclaim the stage and the drama of England ?—Literary
