SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S, SEPT. 23.
There was no attendance to-day, the Betting Men not having
yet returned ; a very strong muster is expected to wind up the
St. Leger accounts. The payments, however, after the Northern
Races are not so large at Tattersall's as after Epsom or New-
market, the bets being generally settled at the place where tle-
cided. After Monday the betting will become interesting on
the Derby and Oaks, and the different Stakes for the October
Meetings.
DONCASTER. RACES.—LWEDNEsDAY, SEPT. 22.
The attendance to-day was not so numerous as on the pre-
ceding days, in consequence of many perSonS who had waited
only fbr the determination of the St. Leger having departed,
but still the Course presented an animated and brilliant appear-
ance. Great interest was excited by the bill of fare for the day,
which was very flattering ; and the fact of Canteen and Bru-
tendorf being entered for the Gascoigne Stakes greatly increased
the anxiety of Sporting Men, as it was calculated to afford a
certain criterion of the powers of the two horses. Canteen was
backed to a heavy amount at wide odds. The following is an
accurate statement

PARLIAMENTARY COMMISSION.

(From the Glasgow Courier, Sept: 21.)

Whilst the Parliamentary Commission was at
Glasgow, it was intended by the Merchants and
Manufacturers to express their sense of the
portent services rendered by the Commission to
the Commerce of the Country, and it was deter-
mined to invite them to a Public Dinner. We
have much pleasure in laying before our Readers
the following Correspondence which took place
between Mr. MoNTEurn and the Right Hon,
THOMAS WALLACE, on this occasion :

Glasgow, Sept. 16, 1824.
Sin—The Merchants and Maufacturers of this City, deeply
impressed with a sense of the great sevices rendered to the
country by the Parliamentary Commissioners of Revenue In.
quirt', and entertaining for them the highest personal respect,
are desirous of availing themselves of the present opportunity
of expressing their feelings, and, with that view, they most re•
spectfully solicit you and the other Commissioners to honour
them with your Company at a Public Dinner, on any day that
my suit your convenience.
With sentiments of the highest consideration and regard,
I have honour to be, Sir,
Yonr very humble and faithful servant.

Sir—l yesterday had the honour of receiving your letter, con-
veying the sentiments and intentions of the Merchants and

Commission of Inquiry. •
In their name, as well as my own, I beg to assure you,
that we have received with the highest gratification ex'
