SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

Several subscribers who have been staying in the country since
the Newmarket Meeting were in attendance yesterday, and busi-
ness, without being of any great interest, was brisker than for
the last three or four weeks. Margrave went back a point or
two for the Derby, but will no doubt be in his old station next
betting-day ; no other changes of importance. The odds closed
as follow :

THE DERBY, 1832.
9 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Beiram
11 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Non Compos
11 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Dulcinta colt
12 to 1 agst Mr. Dilly's MargraVe
20 to 1 agst Duke of Grafton's Pastille colt
1000 to 20 agst Colt by Muley—Eliza (taken)
OAKS.

400 to 00 apt Mr. Chifney's Emiliana (taken)
9 to 1 agst Captain Byng's Dryad (offered)
1000 to 25 agst Margrave winning the Derby and Emiliana the
Oaks (taken):
Amongst the recent tales of racers are the Hon. E. Petre's
Rowton (winner of the St. Leger, in 1829), to Mr. Chifney for
1000 guineas, and Captain Rous's Crutch, to Lord Mountcharies,
for 600 guineas. Rowton is now at Newmarket.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--Mr.MACREADY
appeared last night as Richard the Third, for the first
time, we believe, for seven years. He went through the
part with spirit and discrimination, and was much ap-
plauded.
At Brighton, the other day, Dr. HYDE being
asked by a lady what the cholera morbus was, that seemed
to distract all the world ? instantly replied, "My dear
Madam, it is an invention that has been well advertised."

The Public (especially the Ladies) are re-
quested to notice the following :
To Messrs. C. and A. OLDRIDOE, 1, Wellington-street, Strand.
51R5,...-1 take the liberty of addressing my thanks to you for
the great benefit received by my daughter from the application of
your truly valuable Balm of Columbia. The hair of my youngest
girl completely came off different parts of the head, and there
was also a total loss of hair from the eyebrows. She was induced,
at the instance of a friend, to try your Balm, and after using two
bottles the efli'cts were most surprising, for in a very short space
of time the hair grew in a regular healthy state. 1 think it but
justice to yourselves and the public to add my testimony to the
virtues of your truly inestimable Balm, and you have my full
permission to give this letter that publicity which you think
proper.—l am yours, &c.
(Signed) HENRY HAWKES.
Pen-street, Boston, Lincolnshire, June I, 1829.
OLDRIDGE'S Balm prevents the hair from turning grey,
and the first application makes it curl beautifully, frees it
from scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abundance of
certificates of the first respectability are shown by the Pro-
prietors, C. and A. OLDRIDGE, 1, Wellington-street,
Strand, where the Balm is sold, ;lad by all respectable
Perfumers and Medicine Venders. Price Ss. 6d., 68., and
I Is. per Bottle.
CALCULATIONS RESPECTING FEMALES.--
That the ladies ars peculiarly attached to watering-places
is attested by the following facts
Females. Males.
Population of Brighton 2',418 18,216
Cheltenham 12,889 10,05.3
Bath 22,476 15,587
Hastings
Southampton 10,679 8,645
It is very curious, but it seems to be substantially true,
that the rotten boroughs have been all nearly deserted by
the fair sex. There is nothing like the same proportion of
ladies in them as compared with the males, that we observe
in most other places. We take a few examples:—
Males. Females.
Boroughbridge
&amber llO 8
Heytesbury 776 769
St. Germains 995 919
We think that the ladies also exhibit, in the choice of their
places of residence, a very natural preference for the de-
lights of a town. It is quite remarkable, for instance,
that in Durham town the number of females should be
5,152 to 4,117 males ; whereas, if we proceed to its
suv,urbs, we find that the number is nearly the same as
that of the men. In the town of Windsor the females are
3,213, the males 2,916 ; but in the delightful suburbs we
find the ladies amounting to no more than 1,297, whilst
the gentlemen are 1,235. In Montgomery and Great
Yarmouth there is a perfect equality between the numbers
of each sex.—Monthly Review.

LAUGHABLE ESCAPE.--We are assured
that the following laughable affair is an absolute fact :—A
corporal and two privates, having in their custody a de-
serter,
were enjoying themselves at the Shakspeare Inn,
Ardwick, on Tuesday last. The deserter amused his mi-
litary guardians with several entertaining sleight-of-hand
tricks, but, being encumbered with the steel ruffles, com-
plained he could not display his skill to advantage, and re-
quested to have his hands at liberty whilst he exhibited a
favourite trick, which he described. This being agreed
to, he proceeded to tie the bands of the three soldiers and
his own together with a handkerchief, which he was
wholly to loose with a gentle stroke. The magic knots
were tied, but, on being shook, the knots all remained firm
except the one which held the deserter. This fell asunder
with a touch ; and, quick as an arrow, he lifted up the
sash, and darted head-foremost through the window, leav-
ing his keepers raging at each otter, and tugging like ill-
coupled hounds, before they thought of cutting asunder
their bonds, which having effected, they commenced a warm
chace ; but the game having got the start, reedered their
present efforts ineffectual.—Manchester Advertiser.
