SPORTING INTELLIG ENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTFP,DAY.

The betting this afternoon was slack, but far from unim•
portant, inasmuch us a radical change was brought about
in the positions of the principal favourites. The first bets
laid were 19 to I against Palmmon, and 2,000 to 20 against
Ben Brace ; after these followed 600 to 500 on
Coronation against Paleemon, and offers of 20 to
I against the latter, not more than 18 to 1 being
off red against Coronation, who was first favorite. Another
still more exciting alteration ensued—the Rosalie colt, on
the outlay of a trifle, sprung to 20 to 1, was backed for a small
sum, and then advanced a cuuple of points; and even here
the improvement did not rest, as the final offers were to
bet 1(3 to 1 on the fi-ld, or take 18 to 1, Rosalie being
first favourite. Eringo was in demand, and although not
backed, cannot be quoted at more than 20 to 1 ; we ques-
tion, indeed, if these odds would have been kid. Prince
Caradoc was backed once at 23 to 1, and his backer not
satisfied—.the last offer was only 21 to 1. The Knight of
the Whistle was in favour at 25 to 1, and the same odds'
we suspect, would have been taken about Marshal Soul!.
We have no other changes to point out.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Brighton Gazette.)
Porrssiourn, FEn. 10.—The steamer Lizard, in com-
mand of Lieut. Estcourt, proceeded on Saturday from
this harbour to Plymouth, Falmouth, Gibraltar, and Malta,
taking despatches for Admiral Stopford, and supernume-
raries for the squadron. Commander Cannon, appointed
to the Calcutta, 84, took passage in the Lizard. She is
intended to relieve the Confiance steam-vessel, which is
defective.

Letters from the Sapphire troop-ship, commanded by
Mr. Cole, master, report her arrival at Malta on the 14th
Januhry, from Cork, having on board the st)th regiment
for conveyance to Corfu. The Admiral-in-Chief was daily
expected there from Marmorice Bay, having give❑ up the
command, pro tempore, to Rear-Admiral Sir John Om-
manney. The transport Abercrombie Robinson, was pre-
paring to embark the 47th regiment for conveyance to
Barbadoes. The Wasp, 16, Commander 11.1ansel, was at
Malta, but was to proceed home in about a month, with
the Asia, 84, and the Bellerophon, 78, all to be paid off.
The Endymion frigate, Captain the Hon, F. W. Grey,
has left Plymouth Sound for the East Indies, with de-
spatches for Rear-Admiral Elliot. She is to be attached
to that station.

The brig Pelican, IS, Commander Charles Nap'er, is
still detained at Spithead, awaiting orders. There is a
rumour afloat that Commodore Napier is to have the Lis-
bon station ; but it does not gain credence. Commodore
Lord John Hay, C. 8., is also named for this command.
It is decided that in future a Commodore of the Ist class
shall be stationed in the Tagus.
The ships in Plymouth Sound on Saturday were the
Impregnable, 104, Captain Forrest, and Belleisle, 78, Cap-
tain Nicholas. Both are in want of men to complete, and
awaiting orders. Tho Bombay, 84, and America, 50, are
shortly to be commissioned at Plymouth.
The Tweed corvette, Commander Douglas, will go out
of harbour to Spithead during the week, where she will be
paid advance of wages, and await orders as to destination.
A letter from Malta reports that the Royal Marines are
suffering much from sickness at Beyrout, and that upwards
of 80, out of the detachment of 300, ware in the Hospital.
The Snake, 16, at Chatham, and Bittern, 16, at this
port, will be commissioned shortly.
The brig Rapid, 10, Lieutenant Tryon, is nearly ready
for sea.

Owing to the continued severity of the weather, the
equipment of the ships at the several ports has been ma-
terially retarded, and generally there is now u dearth of
naval news.

At Spithead—Pelican, 16.
In Ihrbour—Queen, Victory, Indus, Excellent, Tweed,
Royal George yacht, Rapid, Echo, Alban, and tenders.

THE WILL OF MIL JAMES WOOD

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, at the sitting of the Judi-
cial Committee of the Privy Council yesterday, said he
was instructed by Sir M. Wood and the other appal-
!ants in this case to ask their Lordships to name an
early day fur hearing the arguments against the decision
of Sir Herbert Jenner. Their Lordships would recol-
lect that on a former day he waR about to commence his
address in support of the appeal, when an objection was
taken by his Learned Friend, Sir F. Pollock, against
the constitution of the Court, which objection was al-
lowed. It was, however, of the greatest possible im-
portance to all parties that the cause should be brought
to a final hearing ; and he believed his Learned Friend,
Mr. Cresswell, who appeared for Mrs. Goodlake, joined
him in the present application for the appointment of a❑
early day.
Mr. CRESSWELL joined the Attorney-General in so•
liciting an early day to be named for hearing the appeal.
Lord BRouGunm—Are all the parties interested in
the cause anxious that it should be heard here, before
the issue which is set down for trial at the next Glou-
cester Assizes has been decided ?

Mr. CUESSWELL—They are. The result of the issue
at Gloucester has no bearing upon the appeal before
your Lordships.
Tho ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I think the issue is
of very little consequence, and will have no effect on
guiding your Lordships' decision on the appeal. The
decision in one case can by no means affect the other.
Lord Buoucitiot—We will consider the application,
Mr. Attorney-General.
Mr. Justice BosANQuET—I do not see how we can
appoint a time for hearing the appeal. The Circuits
are about to commence, and bow could an attendance
be insured on consecutive days ?
Lord BROUGHAM—No, it is impossible to appoint a
day now. At any rate, we cannot say anything about
it until we see what turn the trial of Lord Cardigan in
the House of Lords next week will take.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL again pressed for an
early day to be named.

Lord ihtouomAm—We cannot say anything about it
until alter next week.

DEATH OF JUDGE DAY.—We regret to an-
nounco tha decease of the venerable ex-Judge Day, which
took place on the Bth instant, after a short illness, at Lis
seat, Loughlinstown Ilouse, in his ninety-fifth year. Iu
1819 the venerable Judge resigned his station in the Court
of Queen's Bench, which he had honourably filled during
a period of twenty-one years.—Dublin Evening Post.
Loss OF LIFE IN NAVAL ACTIONS.—The
naval actions of the English have been always remarkable
for the comparative small loss of life with which they
have been gained ; and in the estimation of the country
this has always formed a principal feature of the public
triumph. The loss
.at Acre was the smallest ever known
in an affair of such magnitude; and, decisive as the vic-
tory was, wa should regard it with increased congratula-
tion, from its offering a hope that war (if such must come)
may yet be carried on with diminished Faerificcs to huma-
nity. On this important subject see shall give a glance
at the losses in the great principal actions since the
beginning of the great war of the French Re-
volution. In Lord llowe's action of the let of June.
1794, there were twenty-six sail of the line engaged,
with 17,000 men ; the total of the kiPed and
wounded amounted to 1,078. In Lord Bridport's action
of the 231 of June, 1795, there were 14 sail of the line.
with 10,000 men ; the killed and wounded were 144. In
Lord St. Vincent's action there were 15 sail of the line,
with 10,000 men ; the killed and wounded were 300. In
Lord Duncan's action. October, 1797, there were 16 sail (in-
cluding two 50's), with 8,000 men; the killed and wounded
were 751. In Lord Nelson's battle of the Nile, August Ist,
1793, there were 14 sail, and 8 000 men; the killed and
wounded were 895. In Lord Nelson's attack on Copen-
hagen, 2d of April, 1801, there were 11 sail of the line
and 5 frigates with 17,000 men; the killed and wounded
were 1,524. In Lord Nelson's battle of Trafalgar, 21st
of October, 1865, there were 27 sail, with 17,000 men ;
the killed and wounded were 1,52.1. In Lord Exmouth's
attack on Algiers there were live sail of the line and five
frigates, with 5,000 men ; the killed were 818. The dif-
ferences of losses in those engagements is to be accounted
for in general by the circumstances of the conflicts. But
the attack on the Algerine batteries inflicted the severest
loss cf the whole, in proportion to the number of men
engaged : it was little less than a fifth .--B/ack woo( s
