SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
THE DERBY.—No change was observable in the first
favourite, who was backed for 1001., but a disposition to
lay against Chatham was betrayed in three or four quar-
ters; 14 to 1 was taken once, but we suspect that the
layer would have gone on without much pressing. Ro-
bert de Gorham was backed at 20 and 22 to 1, rather
freely; and Lord of Holderness twice at the odds stated
below. Wiseacre and the Dirce colt, and William de
Fortibus, were also in some demand, and 1,000 to 15
(laid once) was offered to be taken repeatedly about Ca-
nadian. The Agreeable colt re-appeared at 1,000 to 15,
which was taken to win 15,000/., without tiring out his
numerous enemies, some of whom even offered 2,000 to
25; at the close no one would take less than 100 to 1.
The afternoon's betting was fiat per se, but quite brisk
compared with the transactions of the last fortnight.

The following extract from a letter written by
en intelligent and most respectable gentleman of Boston,
in the United States, confirms the statements we pub-
lished some time ago respecting the Hunters' Lodges.
The letter is dated the 31st October Webster will
continue in office, and his continuance is an assurance
that peace will be preserved. I sat next to him at
dinner last evening. He has in his possession evidence
of an immense chain of lodges and secret associations
for an invasion of Canada, extending from Cleveland, in
Ohio, to Burlington, in Vermont, bound together by
secret oaths, embracing two or three Members of Con-
gress, and having their head-quarters at Kingston,
Upper Canada. It is supposed that these lodges number
60,000 people. The new Bankrupt-law, passed last
Session, will disperse them, as this will discharge people
who choose to take the benefit of it, from their debts,
and the new patriots are thriftless vagabonds, who take
up their new calling, as they have failed in their legiti-
mate business. A discharge from their debts will enable
them to resume business."—Morning Chronicle.
INCENDIARY FIRE AT CUDDESDON, CLOSE
TO THE BISHOP OF OXFORD'S PALACE.—A most alarm-
ing and destructive fire broke out on Wednesday morn-
ing, the 10th, about five o'clock, on the farm of Mr.
Gale, a large and most respectable farmer at Cuddesdon,
about six miles from Oxford. It destroyed one large
barn, about fifty yards long, twelve piggeries, and a
loose place used for the same purpose, part of a cow-
house, one cart hovel, three hay ricks, one wheat rick
(supposed to have contained forty loads of corn), two
bean-straw ricks, a thrashing machine, two hay-
making machines, five chaff boxes, a great num-
ber of ploughs, four loads of wheat in sacks, six
carts, three or four of them being nearly new, one
waggon, and from two to three thousand sacks of pota-
to f a very fine sort. We understand there is no
doub its being the diabolical act of some incendiary.
The villa church was within a few yards of the fire,
and at times was considered in danger ; had the wind
been in that direction, in all probability the sacred edi-
fiee would now have 'been a mouldering ruin. We were
sorry to see the beastly Stilte7of intoxication which some
of the parties were in, having drVink.,the beer belonging
to others who had been hard at NiOrk. • The drunken
fellows behaved in a very disorderly manner, so much so
that Mr. Ashurst more. than once interfered to put a
stop to such disgraceful fights and conduct. Mr. Gale
bears a most excellent character in the parish as being a
good neighbour and master, and no cause can be as-
signed for the perpetration of so diabolical an act.—
Oxford Chronicle.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—Last evening an in-
quest was held before Mr., Payne, on the body of Robert
Atkinson, aged 38, a carpenter. It appeared in evidence
that the deceased was employed at the New Sun Fire
Office, now being erected in Bartholomew-lane, near the
Royal Exchange. On Friday afternoon last he was on
a scaffold, 50 feet from the ground, holding a brace
which they were fitting into the butments of the build-
ing. The brace slipped from his arms, caught him, and
threw him backwards off the scaffold into the street. He
was immediately after the accident brought to that hos-
pital. Mr. Walton, house surgeon, said deceased was
admitted soon after the accident in a state of great col-
lapse. He died the following morning, from having the
breast-bone broken, and the vessels beneath it torn
through, from having the left hip-bone fractured in two
places, and the right thigh bone removed from its 4rti.
culation, besides rupture of the vessels tbe left kidney.
Verdict:—." Accidental Deqth,"
CHURcH,ItATE QUASHED.—On Thursday a
meeting of the inhabitant householders was summoned
to be held at the parish*Ohurch, Stoke, to levy a Church-
rate. The notice was short, and not extensive] rib-
lished. The people, however, met in PllnThers LI) did
