SPORTING IN'T'ELLIGENCE.•

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The betting yesterday afternoon exhibited a alight 101"
provement on Monday, the 4th instant, but was far froo
being important, with the exception of a very
improvement on Marshal Soult ; 20 to 1 was laid by *.t*;
or three parties ; the first class favourite remains at our 10,
quotation ; the Rosalie colt and Paimmon were backe°,
but although mentioned, nothing sufficiently definite w°
said about Eringo, Coronation, or Camelion, to warrant our
affixing prices to their names. Wahab was backed at at
improvement of five points, and enough was said (vll
little was done) about the Knight of the Whistle and og
Duke of Wellington, to give each a lift of several poiotb,
2,000 to 45 (twice), and 1,000 to 20 were laid on airiolett•
colt ; 1,000 to 15, and 1,000 to 10, four or five tigl
against Simoom ; 1,000 to 16, two or three times,
1,000 to 20, and 1,000 to 10, several times, against
Brace.
