SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
MATCH. FOR FIVE HUNDRED GUINEAS.

The great trotting match between Mr. Barnr:;d7s mare, of
the Arabian breed, and Capt. Colston's brown horse, took
place yesterday morning over a two-mile circle, in the Grove
Park, at Rutherford, near Gerrarci's Cross, for the above stake.
It was to trot nine miles against each ether, and to start at dif
ferent ends of the two miles. The persona present were dis-
mounted, to give fair play to the horses, and not cause a bustle,
to induce them vo break from the trot. Each did the two miles
as follows :

It via as fine a race as ever was run, and both were neck and
neck at the seventh mile, when the horse began to fill a little
off his speed, and did not require the mare to be puehod. The
race was won by several lengths at last.

SPARRING.
The Fives Court, in St. Martin's-street, was well attendedyesterday,' for the first'benefit of Cooper, the Gypsey.—Ther e
was some good setting to, and plenty of it. The
.following
were the best gouts:—Spring and Burn (Ben.)—Not ill. the
Championship of England, but for honour alone ; these men had
a famous set-to. Burn set to work with much earnestness, and
kept Spring, who is a careful boxer, on the alert. Some good
exchanges were made, and some strong rallies equal ; but if
best was due to either it was to Burn.—Richmond and Harry
Rattner made a good set-to ; all the points which they had used
to display in the ring were shewn, but With less force.—
Some good ruflianing bouts followed, which afforded much
amusement. The Gypsey and Scroggins wound up the sports in
a very gallant set-to. • Scroggins received a tremendous right-
handed rattler under the listener, which stupified him.—Cooper
returned thanks neatly.

Mr. MORRIS, the Proprietor of the new Hay_
market Theatre, much to the honour of his feel-
ings, means to open the ensuing season for the-
ra-lief of the suffering People of Ireland.—Such
conduct, considering the great expeuce attending
the-re-building of his Theatre, is peculiarly me-
ritorious, and we hope that he will find an ample
reward in a very prosperous season.
TUE DUKE OF SAXE GOTHA.—AUGUSTUS,
Duke of SAXE GOTHA and ALTENBURG, expired
at Gotha on May 17, of an inflammation on the
lungs, in the 50th year of his age, greatly belov-
ed by his subjects, having governed that Duchy
18 years. His Serene Highness was grand nephew
of the Consort of FREDERICK Prince of WALES,
consequently was nearly related to our present
SOVEREIGN. The. Duke was a Prince of great
literary acquirements, and the author of some
Romances ; he was distinguished as a bel esprit
for his bons mots; and among many others
the following may amuse the public. Being in
conversation with a lady, who was so far unac-
quainted with the usual etiquette, as to call his.
Highness Monsieur instead of Mcnseigneur, he
reproved her by this ingenious repartee:—
" Madame, je n'ai pas cet lionneur la, je ne suis
pas Frere du Roi de France, mail seulement
Duc regnant de Saxe-Gotha."

Extract of c letter, dated liarannah, April
26 :--" Several. transports, having on board
1,000. men, from Mexico, have arrived here,
among whom is Colonel MAttouEz. It will
be proper for you to know that there as
a plan formed among the Spanish troops to
create a counter-revolution, in which it was
intended that all the regulars were to act ; but,
as traitors are always to be 'found at a cheap
rate, the whole was discovered. This unfore-
seen event did not, howevex, dishearten 400 men
who were in the secret ; but us this force was
too small, and the opposition party on the alert,
they were defeated. In consequence of this event
the Royalist troops still remaining there have
all been disarmed. The affairs in that .country
are in so confused a state that it was expected
DAvrr.A, the Governor of the Castle of St.
John de Ullua, would recommence hostilities.
Iturbide has lost his popularity so much, since his
secret and ambitious views have bten discovered,
that if he does not succeed in over throwing his
opponents he must himself soon come to the
ground. A very ierions altercation has already
taken place between him and the Congress of
Mexico, and if something is not done to conci-
liate the contending, parties, anarchy must neces-
sarily be the result."

On the 4th and sth inst. there K ere very vio-
lent thunder storms in several parts of Ireland,
but the injury sustained by them was not consi-
derable.

HAT 1-0.11-GARDEIi.-110USE8 OF ILL FABlE.—Yester-
day Mary Thompson and Susan Smith, Nos. 11 and 12,
in Kingsg,ate-street, Holborn, were brought up from Eagle-
street watchhouse, cnarged with being common brothel-keepers.
—lt appeared that, from the number of houses of the above
description in the aforesaid street, the inhabitants were greatly
annoyed. A deputation of the neighbours, therefore, made
a complaint to the overseers and churchwardens of the parish,
and requested parochial interference for the removal of the
disgraceful nuisances. On Monday evening, Mr. Taylor,
the vestry clerk, in company with two respectable inhabitants,
obtained warrants against the two defendants, who were appre-
hended, and lodged m the watchouse for the night. The Ma-
gistrates said they very glad to see the Parish of Saint
Andrew, Holborn above bars, take such a laudable past, and
hoped that all parishes would follow the example. The de-
fendants were held to bail, and the pariah bound over to pro-
secute,
