SPOETING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
THE ISUBSCRIPTIOX ROOM AT NIGHT.
MONDAY (CONCLUDED).
Speculation on the Cambridgeshire fluctuated in so
extraordinary a manner that we cannot vouch for the
accuracy of the following statement, maths up front our
list of quotations at the close. We have, however,
no doubt that it will be found ruffimently near the
truth.
Only the leading favourite, Rattle, held a firm posi-
tion-7 to 2 offered, and 4to 1 taken. Orinoco oscil-
lated between 5 and 7, and Heroine, who was third
favourite in the afternoon, was driven front 12 to 1
to 50 to 1.
Scherz, at one. time, receded to 20 to 1, but re•
turned to 100 to G ; he bad, nevertheless, numerous
opponents. Quince and Speed the Plough were alter-
nately up at 25 to 1 each and down to 33 to 1 each.
Offers of 100 to 1 extinguished all lopes of Helena,
and Stonehenge was coupled with Heroine in a bet of
50 to 1.
Whilst these operations were going on, Little Harry
was introduced lay a powerful party, who began by
taking 20 to 1 to some money, and their example had
quickly the effect of advancing him to 15 to 1--the high
est offer at the close was only 12 ts 1. Piiine Minister,
Vindex, and Little David were backed for some small
sums at 25 to 1 each, and 12 to 1 was taken about John
Osborne's lot. •

DERBY.

was at last beaten by a head ; an interval of five lengths
separated the second from the third ; D.O. was fourth,
Litle Harry fifth, and Orinoco about seventh. The others

sional speculator.
The Cambridgeshire was won cleverly by Scherz—a
horse bred in Germany, and, until he ran for the Cesare•
witch, only known in England by the reports which had
occasionally been heard of his continental achievements.
Ho was ridden by Birbeck, a jockey who accompanied
him from Germany, and on returning to scale his suc
cuss was greeted with long and hearty cheers. Spe-
culation, before its close,•was marked by only one new
incident, but it was one that was as extraordinary ov•
unexpected. The Nancy fever again broke out, and
she was supported with so much spirit and confidence
that, from the extreme outside division, she was ad-
vanced to a prominent position amongst the fa-
vourites. Rattle kept firm to the last. The result was
little favourable to the Ring, Schers having been heavily.
backed.
After the race, Mr. Dennett, the owner of Rattle, ob-
jected to the winner on the ground of age. The Messrs.
Barrow were therefore called in to examine the horse's
mouth, and they certified that he is a three-yr-old, and
consequently properly described.

LONDON.—The banks of the Thames above and below the
east and West India Decks being nearly exhausted for
wharfage purposes, the increase of new wharfs on the
River Lee, for some miles up, has been of late years very
remarkable ; and land that was oily a marsh cannot now
be bought under 1,0001. an acre. New towns are
springing up in the direction of Stratford And Bow, every
available field being eagerly sought for, for building ope•
rations. The Conservative Land Society has just acquired
a valuable oritate at Old Ford, in the parish of St. Mai'',
Stratford-le Bow, within the borough of the Tower
Hamlets. The land is within 200 yards of Victoria-park
and Sir Gergi Duckeies "danal, and about a quarter of
a mile fromo the Bow atation of the Eastern CODEtiell
