SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.---Newmarket
has 'attracted man) of our influential sporting gentle-
men since, the close of last week ; notwithstanding
which, the attendance was good this morning,
but no weight of business was gone into. For
the Coltimn Stakes to-morrow, several parties of-
fered to lay 5 to 4 on Lord Orford's horse, or take
100 to 20 he wins this and the important 2,000 Guineas'
Stakes. For the latter event 2 to 1 was offered against
Confederate,' and half a point more was taken on " the
Grew r nothing else was backed, but there were re-
peated proposals.to lay.
THE CHESTER CUP.-Sir Thomas Stanley's horse iS
enthroned the '• sovereign in the bettings. The
business opened with Cruiskeen being offered against
at ti :to 1; and 8 to 1 Was asked about Cowboy ; but
shortly afterwards 6 was• taken on the horse, and of-
fered, to be backed against any other for 100—which,
not being taken, confirms the Baronet with" the call."
We have no doubt ,7. to 1 would have been taken to a
sum on Cowboy, and think few would have accepted
that price on the mare ; 8 to 1 was offered against
Lanercost, and 10 to 1 against Melbourne, whilst King
Coie and the Feather stand at 100 to 6, but not taken.
20 to 1 would be taken on the former ; 100 to 5 was
spiritedly pencilled down v. Bellona and Malvolio ; also
200 to 3 v. Roscius, and 33 to 1 against the Dey of Al-
giers ; 2520 L wasaccepted to a little money on Aimwell,
but the figure would have been repeated ; 100 to 20 is
offered against Mr. Dawson's lot, doubt yet existing
as to which is -to be the horse ; 8 to 1 is offered
against Colonel Peel's lot.; Pops has receded to 20
to 1, accepted at noon by one of his earliest friends.

THE IYERBY.-6 to •1 n&red on the field ; 7i.4 to 1
was laid v. Launcelot ; and 100 to 10 against Angelica ;
100 to 7 offered v. Them). A great desire to lay
against " outsiders." It may be acceptable to state,
that, since the result of yesterday's racing " astonished
the natives," we have seen no bona fide transactions ;
Launcelot has the call, the offer to bet 100 he beats any
other, places him the Derby pretnier.

:SPIRIT of the PUBLIC- JOURNALS.

. . .
FROM TUE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
(From the. Globe.)
Lord Stanley's Bill, and the strenuous efforts of the
Tories to pass it into law again threaten to convulse
Ireland, and O'Connell, as the master-spirit, " rides
n the whirlwind and directs. the storm." The Eas-
-I;er recess has been appropriated by the " great agi-
'tater" to rousing up the spirits which are quiescent or
setive as he waves his hands in token that they
inlay repose in safety, or rouses them to exertion by the
i nuouncement of approaching danger. The tones of his
loiee they have been long accustomed to regard as wise
nd powerful. Strengthened by the success which
has attended his exertions in their cause, and which
tlhey believe to be omnipotent to secure the accom-
iblishment of their hopes, they without hesitation do his
6iddings. He was their leader in the attainment of
emancipation ; 'and having achieved that triumph—
having wrested that splendid trophy from the pha-
Ihnx of prejudice backed by power—with the Throne
liar their support, and the Church to bless with its
p rayers, and to strengthen by its aid—yet against all
this array of commanding influence did they, beaded by
O'Connell, succeed in obtaining the recognition of their
rights. having this event fresh in their recollec-
tion, is it to be regarded as a surprising circumstance
shat the people of Ireland have acquired confidence by
:tuceess, and assemble in crowds to listen to the warning
voice of their devoted leader, who tells them of a new
attempt on their liberties, and who calls upon them to
unite their energies that they may render the insidious
design abortive ?

(From the Courier.).
Never do the Ministertal press exhibit greater satis-
ilaction than when Daniel O'Connell is in the field
:swelling about repeal, or that unintelligible something
tise which is denominated " justice to Ireland." And
:let the same press affect to deprecate repeal and- to
' doubt the power of their all conquering champion to
carry it ; whilst in‘the same breath we arc reminded
that the admission is contingent on " justice" being.
" done to Ireland in-aotno other respects," and that in
fact the might of the Agitator is incalculable unless
bis sword arm he struck down and paralysed by the
surrender of this same invisible, incomprehensible,
phantom of " justice." It is therefore impossible to
lie6ne what all this claim of " justice" may amount to
sit this moment, further than the destruction of the
proposed Bill of Lord Stanley for the prevention of
fraud and perjury in electoral registration, in which as-
sw-edly Papist Ireland is and has been so rife, as to
hate established a sort of vested interest and exclusive
monopoly in the article,

(From the Standard.)
it is the condition, in this respect the hard condi-
tion, of social institutions that arc at once extensive and
liberal, that they must be subject to occasional misre-
presentation from the coadttet of some of their nume-
rous members. It has thus fared with the honoured
University of Oxford, in one case, and it ill not be
the fault of Mr. Baden Powell, a professor of
the University, if that learned and pious body shall not
be equally unfortunate in another. Mr. Powell has, it
seems, written a pamphlet in defence of the Ministerial
scheme of education. We have not seen the pamphlet
in question,but judging from the samples of it published
in the Ministerial journals, we must look upon the Powell-
ite doctrine as no less discreditable than the fantastic
theology of any other set of ites, that from overweening
vanity, or any other prompting, have thrust themselves
' into notice.
