SPORTINU INT_ELLIGENG'.I6.

TATTERSALL'S—YEZTEADAY.
Until four o'clock the room was but thinly attended, ,s7rni
betting flat, its only novelty being the re-appearance of Lord
Jersey's non-favourite, Glenorchy, who was backed in four or
five quarters at 30 to 1, in tens and ponies. After this hour
there was a strong influx of subscribers, and business became
unusually animated ; it did not close until half past six. The
difference between the two favourites at the close we.,
very trifling, 14 to 1 having been offered currently against
Theon during the whole of the afternoon ; 14 to 1 taken
aboui Angelica c., and 1,000 even laid betwixt them;
we should not have been surprised had 15 t• 1 been
offered on the field, to have seen Angelica colt taken in
preference to the North Country Nag ; 7 to 1 about the two
would have been accepted. Bokhara was backed early in the
afternoon at 17 to 1, and we are informed that 200() to 120
was also taken ; this bet, however, we were unable to trace.
Launcelot opened at 18 to 1, taken, and at that price he con-
tinued until a considerable number of the subscribers had
left, after which two points more were laid three or fu; ir times.
Confederate's party increased their investment to a considerable
extent at 18 to I, at which quotation it commenced and finished :
we believe that these odds might have been obtained at the close.
Muley Ishmael was backed for a small sum at 20 to 1, and from
the number of inquiries mode, we expect to see him: " go ahead"
ere long. Gambia, after a short reign, abdicated--. 2.5 to 1 was
betted at the beginning, and five'points more at the end; there was
a woful falling off in the number and fondness of his pi rtisans.

A very frightful accident occurred at the rail-
way works at Merstham in the early part of the week. A mall
was about to let a bucket down the shaft formed there, when,
leaning forward, he missed the rape-roller over the mouth of
the shaft, and fell a distance of 270 yards. He was, •f course,
dashed to pieces.—Breghton Herald.
THE TRAGEDY OF MARY STUART.—The
last rehearsal of the forthcoming tragedy of Mary Stuart, will
take place this day, at Drury-lane Theatre. The public per-
formance is fixed for Wednesday. Great pains have been
taken with the scenery, to render it as faithful as possible, and
the last scene will be represented just as it is stated to have
occurred in the accounts given by the most authentic historians.
On Saturday last, Mr. Sidwell, a person occu-
pying a small farm, in part his own, regaled fourteen or fifteen
poor widows belonging to that township, with a pork pie and
a gill of ale each at his own house. This is the second annual
gift of the kind made by Mr. Sidwell, and we hope he will
live many years to repeat his well-timed generosity, and to
enjoy the satisfaction of mind which must ever arise from acts
so disinterested and meritorious.—Doncaster Gazette.
Lord Denman presents his compliments to the
Editor of The Sun, and requests him to state that a letter
bearing his name which appeared this morning in the Observer,
stas not written by him, or in any way known to him, till he
saw a copy of it in print last night.--Jan. 19, 1840.
