CITY OF LONDON.

Yesterday Mr. T. Y. M`Christie, the barrister ap-
pointed to revise the list of persons entitled to vote for
members of Parliament for the City of London, held his
court at Guildhall. Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. Ledger
attended on behalf of the Liberal interest ; no agent
appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of the
Conservatives.

The number of objections put forward by the Liberals
amounted to 511, and claims to 66 ; no claims or objec-
tions were entered on behalf of the Conservative interest.
The number of names which appear in the new list not
contained in the hat of last sear amounted to 2,451, apd
the number of names contained in last year's list which
are struck out of the new list to 1,968.
The Court was occupied during the whole day in re
vising the list of voters belonging to the different livery
companies, and nothing of interest transpired.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

THE ST. LEGER SETTLING.

Several circumstances combined to give the recent
meeting at Doncaster extraordinary notoriety.
The disgraceful scene which occurred immediately after
the race.for the Doncaster Stakes on Friday can never
be forgotten by those who witnessed it. A severe blow
was inflicted on the vital interests of the turf, and in'
justice to the sporting community it is to be hoped that
the case will be forthwith thoroughly investigated by the
proper authorities.

1 - The business of the settling was resumed to-day, but
the attendance of members was remarkably scanty, and
money was evidently very "tight."
Amongst the written announcements that were posted
over the mantelpiece there was one strikingly signifi-
cant—it was to the effect that an " attempt" would be
made to settle the accounts of some five or six gentle-
men whose names were appended to the notice.
Many balances stand over, but as no important defal-
cations have occurred, hopes are entertained that after
a little breathing time all liabilities will be fully dis-
charged.

The result of the race for the St. Leger was alike un-
favourable to the public and the "gentlemen sports-
men," whose confidence in Scott's lot increased in pro-
portion as the hour of starting drew near. Of course
the large majority of bookmakers have balances on the
right side, but there are very few who may be termed
great winners. The principal are Mr. Davis, who saved
the Knight of St. George to do battle for him against
the favourites ; Mr. Morris, the owner of the Knight ;
Mr. Warrington, "Mr. S. Bell, and two or three others
connected with the stable.

The betting which took place towards the close of the
afternoon requires little comment. The chief outlay was
on Muscovite for the Cesarewitch Stakes. The odds
quoted were tAken, in the aggregate, to 3001. The other
horses named below were backed for only small sums,
