SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S—YESTERDAY.
The Wolverhampton Races having attracted at least one-
half of the usual attendants here, business was uncommonly
flat and uninteresting : the little that was transacted was
confined to three or four St. Leger horses, and may be
briefly disposed of. Launcelot varied from 3toltolo to 3,
and 7 to 2, and was backed for one hundred pounds at the
smallest of the three prices shortly before the room closed.—
Crucifix had three or four friends present, and nearly three
hundred pounds were laid out at 8 and 9to 1 ; the layers, how-
ever, were numerous, and 8 to 1 " went begging" towards the
finish. Gibraltar was in favour, and 12 to 1 was taken in
three or four quarters about Maroon. Offers to back Broad-
watt' at 20 to 1, and Alonzo at 1,000 to 15. Galen's price was
nominal—we observed no disposition to back.
LAST PRICES.
3 to 1 agst Marquis of Westminster's Launcelot (taken, and
afterwards offered)
8 to 1 t!gst Gen. Yates's Gibraltar (take 9 to 1).

THE REPORT OF THE LIEUTENANT OF THE PORT OF
BOULOGNE TO THE MAYOR OF THAT TOWN, RELA-
IIVE TO THE MORNING OF AUGUST 6.
" Sir—On the morning of the Gth of August, the
dr:vintners of the National Guards beating to arms, I
proceeded immediately to the post, where I met, about
half-past six, M. Bageret, the Commissary of Police,
and M. Ai qxis CLauveaux, who, being accompanied by
an officer of t:Pe garrison, commanding a detachment of
troops of the linN, were conducting as prisoners, General
Montholon and another superior officer.
" Previous to that I had observed an English steamer,
named the Edinburgh Castle, ,:nchored in the roads be-
fore the harbour. Not being satis:."—.l with that unusual
manoeuvre, I sought information, and N. Gotrot, the
deputy harbour-master, informed me that a report was
spread that that packet had effected a landing of some
armed men, at the head of whom was Prince Louis
Bonaparte.
" Presuming as to the advantage that would result
from taking possession of that vessel in order to inter-
cept every means of retreat, I forthwith repaired to
your residence for instructions. Not having found you,
I went with the like objects to the Sub-Prefect, where I
met you, and I received orders from you to take any
measures that I should deem requisite in order to seize
the steamer, bring it into the harbour, or lay it on the
mast. I went to the port. In passing before the
National Guards that were drawn out on the esplanade,
on your authority I asked the major of the National
Guards to place a piquet at my disposal in order to
maintain order at the port, and, in case of need, to ren-
der me assistance, which he forthwith granted me by
giving me the light infantry company of the second
battalion of the Legion.
" I proceeded to the customs post, where I found
M. Bageret, the comptroller, with his men under arms.
Fores,eeing that those Frenchmen, whether armed or
otherwise, had all landed, and that I should find little
resistance en board the vessel, I only asked M. Ba-
geret for feur men that were armed, in order not to
frighten the captain and crew of the steamer,
who might
have escaped by eating or filing his cable if I had
come with too many persons. Besides, promptitude
was required in erder to obtain the object which I had
in view, and a few resolute men were sufficient. I had,
besides, Wadoux the pilot and eleven men.
" Before I put out I had the muskets concealed that
were in the boat, and I gave orders to M. Gotrot, the
Aeputy-harbour-master on duty on shore, to prepare
immediately another embarkation with his crew, the pilot
