on the other hand, the efforts of the Austrian Govern-
ment, occupied at the same time by a war in another
quarter—in strife with enemies at home and abroad—
nave not yet succeeded in suppressing the revolt; on the
contrary, the insurrection has rather grown stronger,
and increased to an alarming extent, from the influence
of ,tir Polish traitors of 1831, and swarms of deserters
and vagabonds from other lands. In the midst of these
disastrous events, his Majesty the Emperor of
Austria has sddressed himself to us, demanding assist-
at ce a ;ain s'. the common enemy. We shall not refuse
the aid demanded. After having invoked the great
Leader of Battles and the Lord of Armies to protect our
just cause, we have i,sued orders to our army to corn-
/ounce its march to put down the insurrection and anni-
hilate the reckless men who also threaten to disturb the
quiet of our province. If God be with us, none can
resist us. Of this let us be persuaded; let every man iu
our kingdom, which is under God's protection, every
Russian and faithful subject, feel, hope, and speak thus,
and Russia will fulfil its sacred calling.

The Austrian Lloyds states that the whole strength
of the Russian army pa-sing through Gallicia amounts
to 128,000 men and 20,850 horses.
Grneral PUFFEN, who commands the Imperialists
in the Banat has been completely defeated by the
Magyars after an obstinate battle, in which 6,000 of
the Austrians took flight. In consequence of this
victory the Maygars have taken possession of Jubuka.
The Austrians have also been driven out of Som-
merein, and that so precipitately that they have left
the whole of their baggage in the hands of the Mag-
yars.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
So dull a Monday before the races was never known;
the subscribers, it is true, mustered in great numbers;
but, beyond offers to back Nunnykirk and Chatterer,
there was no appearance 9t business until near four
o'clock. The spirit then began to move a little, and to
some purpose, the disposition to lay against the firit
favourite being so decided, that he eventually declined to
9 to 4; a good deal of money was laid against him at
those odds, and at sto 2. Nunnykirk was in if:alveoli
favour; but from tho general disinclination to lay, the
amount got on was not very heavy; from the tone of the
market, it is nut at all improbable that he will take pro-
cedence of the Dutchman before starting. Chatterer
was backed freely at 6 to 1; and Tadmor for a small
sum, at 6 to 1 and 13 to 2; the latter had not many
friends. Vatican and Etthiron were on the decline.
Vanguard and The Knout were friendless. The Oaks
betting was flit, and noticeable only for a great improve-
ment i❑ Imperatrix. A very small field is expected.

SILAKSPIRL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE.

SlR,—During the sixty hours which hare garbed
since I penned my Derby epistle, several important
changes have been brought abi ut materially affecting
the great race of to-morrow. In the first place, the
Dutchma❑ has receded in public favour from 2 to 1 tO
5 to 2 ; while Scott's black-un has advanced from 4, tO
3to 1, taken. It would not surprise me to see Nanny-
kirk in Springy Jack's place, an absolute second and
defeated by a neck ; of one thing I am particularly con-
fident, and that is, that bar an accident he will be first,
second, or third.

Day's horse, Chatterer, is to me a puzzle. His late ad-
vance in the odds from 33 to 6 to 1, the latter price
being taken freely, seem to say most unmistakeably that
the Danebury nag is everything that could be wished;
he certainly wok his trial cleverly enough, but in the
taco of this, and the confidence of his party, I reiterate
my opinion as expressed in my last letter, he cannot win,
although I must award him a better place than the rear.
Is strikes Lae very forcibly, with respect to several of
the " cracks," that

"Many a man ere this day week,
Although no ditcher's tate he'd seek;
Will wish he'd been a hedger!" • •
With respect to Vanish, who is still 'supported upon the
strength of some fancy idea or other, I beg to say tbss
there are

" Within the realm
Five hundred good as he."
As to Honeycomb,
" I am content that he shall take the odds
Of his great name and estimation;"
and that is all I think he will take by his motion to•
morrow. My confidence in my especial favourite, the
" Dumpling" of Newmarket, is unabated, and those who
take shelter under Colonel Peel's Palm-Tree (for such is
the signification of Tadmor in-the original language)
are not likely to rtigret doing so:
The Epsom Four-Year-Old Stakes look very like •
walk over fur Comet.
The Grand Stand Plate teems destined for the Coun-
tess colt, or Swordplayer; Cymilaa third.
The Nonsuch Stakes to Rose Pompon or Miss Lark-
away.
For the Oaks a field of some fifteen or sixteen will
run, probably the following:—Glauca, Clarissa, Wood-
lark, West Country Lass, Emma Donna, Mysticle, Lad,'
Jersey, Industry filly, Highland Fling, Eva, Diata,
Grace, lmperatrix, Plebeia, and Lady Superior; Wet
Nurse and Lady Tryphena may run; to that case West
Country Lass will be withdrawn.
I shall not anal3ze their merits, but at once jump SO
the conclusion by taking Glance and Clarissa as the
most likely to catch the judge's eye first, former for
choice, Day's fillies being close up.
I will conclude by laying before your readers a titbiq
of anticipations of the fate of the principal stakes of
1849, and Derby, 1850.

Off, off !" from the Stand is the general ell,.
See Elthiron leads for the Dutchman the van,

And Nut, on his Tit, gives Tadmor a shake;
While Chatterer, Honeycomb, and Dutchman so bole,
Give work to their Jockies to keep them in hold;
And Vattcan now pushes forward the pace,
And at once becomes forward, e'eu first in the race. -
" Tattenham Corner" they round, where the Dutchman
appears,
'Mid the hopes of his friends, and yet with their (earl,
Followed close in his wake by 4. Touchstone's" bold ebb.
Whilst Nat upon Tadmor goes fearlessly on,
The distance is reached, " Bay Middleton's blood,
Thut never the distance has ever yet stood,
Gets tired, then wearied, then losses first place,
And Tadmor now takes the lead in the race.
The crowd cry out, that Tadmor wins the day,
Not seeing Touchstone's son coming away
From out the ruck, which pent him in so long,
And in earnest makes the pace both fast and strong.
Tadmor and he, now neck and neck they race,
And at the stand the black one takes first place.
The fray is o'er, the race is run;
The son of Beeswing and of Touchstone's won,
Whilst " Sint" on Vatican obtains third place,
And struggling beats the Dutchman in the race.
