SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTE RSA LL'S—THURSDAY.
CHESTER CUP.
The appearance of the Handicap baa not as yet liven
much impulse to speculation; indeed in the early part
of the afternoon the conversation turned solely on the
fact of the weights not having been declared in town until
Tuesday. The Manchester market, at least so it is under.
stood thus obtaining a day's wtart. The circumstance way
commented oo in rather strong terms, and it certainly is
to be regretted that the declarations in town and country
were simultaneous. The Handicap is admitted to ba a
good one, and it is supposed that there will be at least
one hundred acceptances; in the face of this, three horses
have already become great " pots;" i. e., Camera Ob-
scura, Antler, and Erin-go-bragh, the advance of the
first two, we should add, having been the result of re,
peateA offers to back them, and not of actual outlay.
One bet of 1,000 to 20 agst Erin-go-bragh was followed
by three or four at 1,000 to 30, LOW to 25 was laid agst
Neweourt, 1,000 to 20 agst Punch, 2,000 to 40 aget

Fossrr, REMAINS OF Mew.—lt—haabeen generally
alleged by geologists that no fossils of the human species
have ever been found among the remains of other animals so
frequently turned up in their researches. But a Dr. Dicke-
son, of Philadelphia, has discovered a bone in the vicinity
of Natohes, which the Philadelphia Academy of Natural
Sciences pronounced to have been the bone of a man. NfAt-
chez is a region which is said to abound with the relics of aft
antediluvian era. It was found with other organic rsdmaina
in a stratum of tenacious blue clay that underlies dilu-
vial drift east of Natchez, and in this diluvial dries
the bone*
of toe Megalonyx were discovered. In the record of the
meeting of the Philadelphia. Academy, Octeber 6th ultimo,
the United States Gazette find the fe,ilowing :—" Dr. Dickeson presented another relic of
yet •
• greater
interest, viz : the fossil os innoininatum of tl2e hu-
man subject, taken from the above-mentioned stras
tam of bltie clay, and about two feet below the skeletons
of the Megalonyx and other extinct genera of quadrupeds.
This ancient relic of our species is that of a young man about
16 years of age, as determined by its size and form, and by
the fact that the epihyses have separated from the tuberosity
of the ischium, and from the crista of ilium. Nearly all the
os pubis is wanting; the upper posterior part of the ilium ir‘
brokerntway, and but half the acetabulum remains. Ths,:t
this bone is strictly in the fossil state is manifest from
ita physical characters, in which it accords in Gym Itspece
of colour, density, &c. &c., with those of the M:egalonyx
and other associated bones. That it could not have drifted
into the position in which it was found is taanifest from
several facts. 1. That the plateau of the 'sane clay is not
appreciably acted on by those causes that produce
ravines in the superincumbent diluvials 2. That the human
bone was found at least two feet, below three associated
skeletons of the Megalonyx, all wisich, judging from the op-
position of proximity of their e-sveral parts, had been quietly
deposited in this locality, independently of any ;wave cur-
rent or other displacing power; and lastly, because there
was no admixture of diluvial drift with the blue clay, which
latter retains its homogeneous character equally in the higher
part, that furnished the extinct quadrupeds, and in its lower
part, that contained the remains of man. Dr. Dickersbn has
announced his intention of returning, at an early period of
the present autumn, to resume his explorations in this pro-
lific and most interesting locality; and it is earnestly hoped
that his researches may lead to a further chicidation of thin important question in science."—New York Evening Post.

the case of an injunction asp_pliedfor by the Blictric Telegreph
Company against Messrs. Nott, who have obtained a:

The telegraphic clock used by Messrs. Nett has a hand, ;Aan

short distance from the centre of the o,:tei plate. Tbe hand

regularity of movement is obtained. ivhen the hand is to
be put in motion, a ke,4-, something similar to the key of is pianoforte, is presses% and the pressure removed when the

where the public can satisfy themselves of its merits by
actual inspection. It is also to be seen in operation at the
office of the patentees, No. 2, Boyal, Exchange-building%

is altogether a most important improvement on the rapidity
