SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENIN6.
There was nothing done to-day requiring any particular
remark. From 33 to 40 to 1 was laid against Van Am-
burgh, and something like similar odds pencilled down
against the colt out of Rattle's dam : both seem gaining
popularity. The London quotations were considered this
forenoon as " made up," and no cot fidence placed upon the
figures attached. 500 to 30 twice over was offered v.
Marshal Soult at noon.
The Oaks, &c., were only named, but not betted upon.

OLivErt CROMWELL, an Historical Romance,
Edited by Horace Smith, Esq . Author of " Brambletye
House." 3 vols. Colburn.—The author of this work
has chosen a stirring period, and the most daring and suc-
cessful of regicides for the subject and hero of his histo-
rical romance—a period when fierce passions, Lnd the most
adverse principles, political and reli,cious, were roused into
bitter collision—a hero, whose hypocrisy, fanaticism, ob-
durate courage, and ambition, not unaccompanied at times
by a certain magnanimity of spirit, combined to form a
character which it is almost impossible to analyse, but
which, in its strangely blended qualities, seems of all histo-
rical personages the most fitted for the purposes of modern
romance. History supplies the author with turbulent and
daring spirits, clashing in a hurricane of passions, a wide
kingdom for his scene, its throne the prize of contest—and
well has he availed himself of these advantages. All the
distinguished actors in the great rebellion, its contests and
its intrigues, arc recalled to life ; the gallant but often li-
centious cavalier—the obdurate and fanatic roundhead—
their respective leaders, the unfortunate Charles and his
conqueror, contrasted in almost every personal and menta
Thu
l
quality, fight their fierce contest upon his pages.
work is vividly interesting, and must afford the reader a
high degree of pleasure.—Argus.
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—
Wonderful Cure of a Bad Leg.--
Mr. Hutchings, of
No. 20, Merrow-street, Walwortb, had af'cen ulcers on
his leg ; he was discharged from two hospital; as incur-
able, and for more than five years he could scarcely bear
his foot to the ground. He, for the:first time, used Hol-
loway's ointment in August last ; every night he took four
of Holloway's Pills, by which means alone his leg was
perfectly cured. These pills, in cases of wounds and
ul-
cers, must always be used with the ointment. These me-
dicines arc always to be obtained at 244,
Strand, the
Proprietor's Nevi Establishment, and of every respectable
chemist throughout the kingdom.
