SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
NEWMARKET, SUNDAY AFTERNOON,
FOUR O'CLOCK.
Since we published the list of engagements for the
ensuit'- week, the following horses have arrived :
Mr. W. Scott's Sir Tatton Sykes ; Duke of Rich-
mond's Halo, Red Hart, and Vampyre ; Mr. Mostyn's
Planet. King of Morven, Devil-me-care, and Wilder-
ness ; Sir C. Monck's Vanish ; Colonel Anson's Bing-
ham, Don Cmsar, Laz trillo, and Jack Misters ; Mr.
Bowes's Epirote ; Mr. O'Brien's The Traverser ; Mr.
Gully's Pyrrhus the First and Mendicant ; Mr. Wre-
ford's Whirligig and Wild Doe ; Mr. Gregory's Euclid
colt ; Mr. Payne's Sir Francis and Lancer ; Lord Glas-
gow's Discontent and Conspiracy ; Lord Stradbroke's
Marpessa colt and Lycurgus ; and Lord Chesterfield's
Lady Lurewell, Free Lance, Brother to Stich, and
Maid of Saragossa. Forth will have nothing for the
meeting.
The above additions render it probable that all the
engagements on the list will come off except the matches
between Alarm and Paragon, Alarm and The Baron,
and Capt. Phoebus and Ukraine. Alarm receives in the
first two, and the latter is off by consent.
The following horses have been scratched :—Gag,
Outport, Cothen, and Free Gift for the three 50 Sovs.
Sweepstakes to-morrow ; Fladowlagh, Watchdog, Tun-
arogh, Doleful, Refraction, and Corsair, for the New-
market Handicap ; the Matilda colt for her three en-
gagement, the Zulmina filly, Fieldmouse, Billow colt,
and Vencur for the Column ; Pampeluna for his en-
gagements on Wednesday ; and Joy for the Port.
Several others are likely to be struck out in the course
of the day, and the fields, with the exception of the
Newmarket Handicap, for which fifteen or sixteen will
probably show at the post, will be small.
The list contains some races of considerable interest,
amongst them the stakes in which Epirote, Planet, and Red
Hart are engaged, the Newmarket Handicap, the Port,
and the mateh between Pyrrhus the First and Traverser
—but, on the whole, does not promise anything wonder-
ful in the way of sport. Nor does the weather lead us
to expect a full attendance ; for many days past there
has been enough of snow, hail, rain, and fog, to remind
us of the depth of winter, rather than the approach of a
spring campaign, and, to-day, although the temperature
is more genial, the appearance of the atmosphere is
anything but encouraging. It is fortunate that not-
withstanding 'the unwonted duration of winter, the
course is in first-rate condition, and the stables, with
very few excrptions, are healthy.

PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPEND'.
TURE OF IRELAND.
A return, obtained by Mr. Brown, M.P., affords the
following statistical information with regard to Ireland :
It appears that the income and expenditure in Ireland
(the latter exclusive of the charge of the Funded Debt)
amounted, in 1846, to 4,692,4631. and 3,414,4541. re-
spectively, leaving an excess of 1,278,009/. In 1817 the
income was 4,384,8161., and the expenditure 4,209,0161.
There has been a regular annual excess of income since
1817, with the exception of the years 1819, 1820, 1821,
and 1822, when the balance of expenditure preponderated.
The average excess of income each year appears to
have been from 1,700,000/. to 1,800,000 in round num-
bers. The. annual charge of interest on the Funded
Debt of Ireland was in 1846 4,176,4581., and the amount
of the deficiency of income paid into the Exchequer in
Ireland to meet the annual charge of interest on the debt
in the same year was 2,898,449/. The gross total amount
of this deficiency since 1817 is no less than the sum of
101,606,6391.
The total net produce of the revenue of Ireland paid
into the Exchequer in 1846 amounted to 4,692,4631.,
against 4,478,792/. in 1845; of this, 2,258,0431. arose
from Customs, 1,467,060/. from Excise,
Stamps, 29,0001. from the Post-office, 5,8881.

1,143,9804 was appropriated to the army, 105,0001. to
the ordnance, 472,4041. to miscellaneous, 902,8561, to
the charges on the Consolidated Fund, and 790,214/. to
advances for public works. On the Ist of February,
1817, the gross debt of Ireland amounted to 130,561,0371.,
and the annual charge thereon to 6.038,311/. The total
chargefrhe isto

was only 2,925,00(1/. in 1798 ; in 1801 it had risen to
15.315,0001.; in 1310, to 53,694,000/.; and in 1816, to
103,032,750/.
The annual charge, which in 1793 was only 1260.70/.,
had risen iu 1817 to 4,392,9591.

TIIE WEATllER.—Vegetation has suffered a severe,
and it is feared an injurious check, by the variations ill
the temperakve which have been experienced within the
last few days, the principal features of which bad been
sharp frosts and heavy falls of snow. We understand
that the early potatoes have been cut off; and unless
wall trees have been protected a crop of fruit can hardly
be expected from such as have sent forth their blos-
soms. On Monday the hills in several parts of Wales
were covered with snow six inches deep.—Bristol
