SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ROCHESTER AND CHATHAM RACES.
I.AsT DAY.—FRIDAY, Alla. 6.—At the early part of the
day the weather was gloomy, but before the commencement of
the Races it cleared up, and promised to be propitious to the
sports. The company was numerous and fashionable. Just
as the first Race was beginning. to a heavy shower set in and
greatly impeded it, although it had already been greatly re-
tarded by a deficiency of weights for the jockeys. Notwith-
standing these discouraging circumstances the sports were good,
and gave great satisfaction.

CORK RACES.
rhe, Cork Race Course was opened on Friday, the 30th July,
preparatory to the Meeting on the 6th August, when a very
Interesting handicap Matcia took place with the following

horses :—.--

Air. Terry's b. h. Fencer - - . - 2 ais
Air. Lane's g. h. Wattle . - - bolt.
A fine race in the first heat, but the stirrup leather of Fen-
cer's saddle breaking, his jockey was obliged to pull up, which
caused him to be distanced.

THE GREAT PIGEON MAUI.
Adam Arrowsmith is most decidedly the hest shot in Eng-
land, if we judge by his last public shooting at the 42 birds
with Mr. Chatkley. Ile upon that occasion killed 19 from 21 ;
Mr. Chatkley killed 14 from 21, leaving Adam Arrowsmith 4
birds in advance. The second match at 21 other birds, was
shot yesterday In the fieldi at the back of the King's Mail, in
Stratford, before a full field of the best pigeon-shots in the
kingdom; the match was far 100 guineas. Adam Arrowsmith
killed 18 birds from 21, missing the Bth, 9th, and 10th birds in
succession. Mr. Chatkley killed 15 nut of the 21, having miss-
ed his 2d, 3d, Pith, 7th, 15th, and 20th. Messrs. Arrowsmith
and Ileamont were offered to be backed for 200 sovereigns to
80 against any men in England. The great Essex shot, Mr.
Francis, was not there. After the sports of the day Mr. Arrow-
smith was in the Chair, supported by Mr. Chatkley.

BOXING.
THE TIGHT BETWEEN Alma). HAUB!' AND WANT.
These men, who fought for fifty sovereigns at Hive Com-
mon, Essex, at the beginning of July, met again for a like stun
yesterday morning, at Irealifieltl, Epping Forrest,
adjourn-
ment, from the preceding ;lay. In the tint battle, Want, the
Nottingham butcher, was hit out of time by a chance blow,
after twenty-two minutes desperate fighting. 'I he same seconds
acted for the men as upon the former occasion. The ring was
eighteen feet only.
n the first round, Want was floored at rushing in by a well.
intentioned hit, which told above the mark, and was of but
little use.
2. Both.advanced to each other's heads, and uumuzzled with
much determination. Severe exchanges took place in the rally,
which was put an end to by the Bishop's nabbing a chatter-
cross buttock. Five to four on the butcher.
3. Harris was a bit upon the piping order, but superior fight-
ing kept the butcher for a time away ; but the give and take
game was soon put into action again, until the claret flew most
merrilly. Both went down weak, and the butcher's right ogle
was queered.
4. hero the seconds had a round over a dispute, and the four
were fighting together,. and it was altogether a Welch main.—
The men in real action had a temporary cessation of hostilities
until the butcher's second was bled and floored.
S. The ring was well crimsoned with a general row, and
Harris went down with a heavy round right-handed blow on
the jugular, and it operated like an metic in facing his ad-
versary in the next round.
6. FroM this chance hit, the head and stomach were disor-
dered in the four following rounds, and Want led with much
gaiety until the 11th, when he was floored.
12. A very brave fighting round, and same smashing blows
were exchanged, Hari* was thrown again heavily on the back
of his head, and it was evident nothing but a slice of luck
would avail him. It was a horse to a hen in the three follow-
ing rounds, and in the 17th he got a settler, after 25 minutes of
brave fighting.
This battle wax another instance of a man neglecting hint-
self in training, by which Harris lost this battle in holding an
adversary of superior weight too cheap, and in fancying him-
self a better fighter without reserving his strength to last.

The Loan MAyoa. yesterday sent an order to
the individuals who took the contract for paving the city, and
who has crowded Fleet-street with stones, commanding that the
'
nuisance he immediately removed • and adding, that it the order
be not immediately complied with, the city officers shall have
them removed, and the City bolicitor shall be forthwith direct-
ed to prosecute the Contractor.
The project of a navigable canal from Arbroath
to Forfar, and thence along the Valley of Strath-
more to Perth, is in agitation among the Land-
holders and Magistrates of that part of Forfar-
shire through which it is intended to pass.
in Mincing-lane there is a very great improve-
men; in the demand for sugar, and during the
bat three days upwards of 5,000 has, have been
sotd for- consumption at a small advance in their
former value.

COURT OF CHANCPAT—('ar; DAY.)

DORBENY f. DORDENT:

Mr. HEAL' said, lie had to call the attential
of his Lordship to this case, under circumstances
of rather an extraordinary nature. The case was
originally heard by the Vice-Chancellor, wh.,
decreed that a sum of between two and three
hundred pounds should be paid into Court by
his (Mr. Heald's) client, but behind the back of
that gentleman a fresh motion was made, and an
order obtained for the payment into Court of no
less than 8501. Under that order an execution

had issued, and the parties were now ahout to
carry it into effect. Under these circumstances,
he was instructed to pray his Lordship to grant
an injunction to restrain them.

'l'i►e Lour) CIIANCELLOR said, the Court would.
not allow such proceedings, and granted tt►e
motion.

PrLOSSEIt RICKA

The Lotto CHANCELLOR haviwg been informf.A.
'at the parties in this cause had declined trying:
le issue at law, dismissed the case with fu:l.

costs.

His Lordship, before proceeding with the
Cause Paper, intimated that there were several.
judgment.; now ready, and he would dis-
pose of theta on Monday morning ; after which
he would go on With the Bankrupt Petitions oft
that day and Tuesday, and on Wednesday hear
the cause of Gordon v. Gordon.

Lord GIFFORD, this day, again sat for the
Vice-Chancellor, Who is fast recovering, and
heard motions ; but nothing worthy of public
notice occurred.
