SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TA TTERSALL'S.

A few changes have occurred in the Derby betting since our
last report ; Caleb is on the advance, and now so close upon the
heels of Filagree, that we expect to see him second favourite on
the next betting day. Varennes also advances, and two or three
changes are likewise commencing amongst the outsiders; An-
tiope, Cressida, and Medora, were backed in the course of the
afternoon. As the weather opens we may look for still more
important changes, as the horses will be enabled to take their
customary trials, exercise, &c. Nothing fresh on the Oaks; For
the Ridtllesworth Lord Exeter's colt is in force, and has sprung
three or four points since our last quotation. At the close of the
room the average prices on the great betting races were as under :

On Monday night three boats left Dundalk
to proceed to Cooley, when the snow and wind came on
and drove them all to the southward. Two were put
ashore at the Black-rocks ; but, melancholy to relate, the
other was driven near Annagassan, where she foundered,
and the crew, seven men, with one woman, were loot.
