SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YEsTERDAY.
A very thin attendance, and scarcely any business
doing. Tho only horses in favour were The Tartar and
Westow for the Northamptonshire Stakes, Dacia for the
Metropolitan Handicap, and Westow for the Derby. Tim
odds returned against the first named horse were at one
time taken freely, but at the close were offered-currently.
Nothing was done on either of the three Derby favourites;
in fact, the quotations on this event, with the exception
of Westow, are nominal. Closing prices:—

OXFORD AND CAMRIDOE BOAT RACE.—The great
University eight-oared race, appointed for Tnursday
next, is looked forward to with considerable anxiety.
We have much pleasure in placing before our readers a
list with which we have been favoured of those in train-
ing for the event:—Oxford—Messrs. Wonolope, Tyrell,
Tremayne, Chilly, Steward, Mansfield, Sykes, and'llich,
jun. (stroke). Cambridge—Messrs. Proby, Jones, De. Reu-
zen, Holden, Bagshawe, Waddington, Hodgson, and Wray
(stroke). The distance to be contested is the usual
course for such events, from Putney-bridge to Mortlake,
and much diversity of opinion exists with respect to the
rival crews, of which Oxford is slightly the favourite.

LYCEUM THEATRE.
Last evening one of those sparkling little pieces for
the production of which the Vestris management is so
remarkable, was represented at this elegant theatre
with the most decided success. It is entitled Hold your
Tongue. The plot rests on the indiscretion of Lady
Ryder (Miss IL Gilbert), who is fresh from the country,
and who ventures to go to a masquerade unknown to ber
husband (Mr. Selby). Here, without any ill intentions, she
contrives to make a kind of assignation with Capt. Vernon,
(Mr. Parselle), who, in the dress of of a magician, has
assisted her w hile fainting. This captain is a harmless
personage, but one Lord Lurewell (Mr. Mathews), who
is a sort of Lovlace, hearing of the adventure, boldly
introduces himself to the laity by declaring that he is
the magician. Ile meets his match in her confidential
friend, Mrs. Lovejoy (Madame Vestris). one. of those
gay reidona endowed with a good heart and a 1-eri
perception of the world; who are so frequent in the old
comedies. Mrs. L9vejoy soon perceives that Captain
Vernon, whim she loves, is the real tnapi-
,;ian, and she relieves her friend froth all tho
embarrassment of her situation, by declaring that
-he herself was the lady who made the assigna-
tion, and bestowing her hand upon the Captain.
Phis outline of the plot will give a very faint notion of
the ingenuity with which the details of the intrigue are
managed. The dialogue is elegant and pointed—just
what is required for this class of drama—and does great
credit to the author, Mr. Planehi. Of the acting it
Mr. C. Mathews and Madame Vestris it is impoasible to
.peak too highly, and the talented author as indeed
fortunate that he has had the services of two such an.
complished artists to sustain the leading parts. We
must also notice the performance of a very talented
young actress—Miss J. Coleman—who sustained the
hart of Slipper, a lady's maid, to admiration; there wan
a vivacity and a pertness ahout this young lady's acting
that was exceedingly amusing. Miss 11. Gilbert ac-
quitted herself with her usual ability. Mr. Selby and
Mr. Parson() were each in their respective parts excel-
lent. Altogether it is one of the most successful bits of
the season. The dresses were beautiful, and the stage
appointments, it is needless to say, were appropriate.
The piece was given out for repetition every evening
amidst the applause of a crowded and fashionable
audience.

MR. HUDSON AND THE YORK, NEWCASTIS,, AND
BERWICK RAILWAY CODIPANY.—We are informed, On
what we believe to be the most undoubted authority,
that the committee which was appointed at the last halt
yearly meeting to inquire into the purchase of the shares
of the Great North of England Railway by this com-
pany have completed their inquiry, and come to the
conclusion that Mr. Hudson is entirely guiltless of the
(barges which have been so unsparingly made against
him with regard to that purchase. We are informed,
however, that there was a mistake of 2,5004 in the
amount paid to Mr. Hudson for the shares sold by bim,
owing to the parties who were employed to calculate
what that gentleman ought to receive having added, in-
stead of subtracted, the rebate of interest on the prin-
cipal sum; but there is no reason to suppose that Mr.
Hudson was at all aware of the mistake having been
made until after his attention was called to the particular
circumstances attending the sale by what occurred at
the meeting at which the committee of shareholders
was appointed.
ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROOK.—Yesterday a vestry
of this parish was held, for the purpose of nominating
trustees of the legal estate of the parish, in the room of
Mr. Aldetman Gibbs. The Rev. Dr. Croly presided,
and Mr. Rock proposed the following gentlemen as
trustees:—The Rev. Dr. Croly, Mr. Roger Cunliffe, Mr.
Benjamin Wilson, Mr. W. George Harrison, Mr. Edwin
Davie, Mr. Jacob Unwin, and Mr. Henry Bock, his
brother. fie himself and Mr. Flight had been 50 much

the Court of Chancery, by which the pariah estates
are placed in possession of, and under the control of the
parishioners.' A silver cup was suggested by one of the
parishioners as a more substantial acknowledgment of
Mr. Rock's services, but the chairman objected to the
parish being cupped as she had already. lost blood
enough. The resolution having been carried and re-
sponded to by Mr. Rock, the proceedings terminated
with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman, and the
expression of a hope, on his part, that things should
henceforth go on quietly in the parish.
pre FOREIGN ICE.—The vessel Oscar, off
the pe
Norway,

h 350
tons weight of ice, the production of the place. This
the first importation of ice from Norway during

since from Prussia, the first from any of the foreign
states.

At Shrewsbury on Wednesday, Joseph Sewell, a

ment for having embezzled 387 five pound notev,the

named Eliza \Foghorn was yesterday com.
'flitted from Worship-street, charged with attempting to
murder Charles Gibson. She had been fighting with
another woman, and was worsted in the conflict, where.
upon she seized a knife, and rushing at the prosecutor,
with whom she had had a previous quarrel, stabbed him
in the throat.
