SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDaY.
The Northamptonshire Stakes betting was confined to
the two favourites and Vasa, each of whom improved on
the previous,quotations. Fernhill was nominally at 9to
1 until near the close of the room, when he receded to
20 to 1. He is said to have met with an accident on the
railroad. Very little was done on the other events; but
it will be seen that Chatterer sprung ten points for the
Derby, and that WestoW was also quoted at an improve-
ment. The betting, on the whole, was uncommonly dull.

THREATENING LETTERS TO
THE QUEEN.
At Windsor, yesterday, John Wardle, remanded from
Monday last, was charged before the Mayor aid two
other magistrates with having seat threatening letters to
her Majesty and other parties.
The prisoner had first written to her Majesty on
January 18, 1848, when he stated that, unless he and his
family obtained their rights, her Majesty should die by
his hands. This letter was sent down to the Stafford-
shire police, within whose jurisdiction the prisoner was
employed when he was taken before the magistrates, and
charged with writing threatening letters to her Majesty.
'The prisoner explained that his reason for doing so was
on obtain 10,0001. left to his family by the late Duke of
Kent. The magistrates sentenced him to three months'
confinement in Stafford gaol, in default of his finding
bail to keep the peace.
On Thursday, the Bth instant, he presented himself at
the residence of the Dean of Windsor, and told the but-
ler he was determined to see the Queen, and get his due,
even if his neck was stretched for it. He was again
given into custody, and the result was that, after two
inquiries, the case was postponed till Monday, the 17th
instant, when the authorities at the Home-office having
had communication with, Mr. Hayward, of the office of
the solicitor to the Treasury, attended to watch the case,
and was about to ask the magistrate to bold the prisoner
to bail for using threatening language, when Mr. Pearl,
a surgeon, of Windsor, who had examined him, ex •
pressed doubts of the prisoner's sanity. Upon this Mr.
Hayward asked for a remand, to obtain further evidence
on that point.
Accordingly the prisoner was again brought up yes-
terday, when the above facts having being deposed to,
Dr. Monro stated that he had had an interviorvdofhemo.e
was
than an hour's duration with the
clearly of opinion that he prisoner,
lunatic,
whom it was not safe to trust"arlarage for a single hour.
Upon this evidence being givcr,. Mr. Hayward ap
plied to have the prisoner committed to the county
lunatic asylum.
The MAYOR, having asked the prisoner if he had
any explanation to give of his conduct, he replied that
it would be useless, as he was like a lamb in a den of
wolves.
After some consideration the Bench adjudged the pri-
soner to be a dangerous lunatic, and sentenced him to be
confined in the county lunatic asylum at Littlemoro near

[PRICE SD.

Oxford, unless his friends could give security for his safe
custody.
The prisoner is evidently very illiterate, no two con•
secntive words being spelt correctly, her Majesty Le'ng
described as Queen " Victorey."
