SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TAT TE RSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. •
The settling on the Doncaster events took place yes-
terday afternoon, and passed off quietly ; the large
account to which we alluded last week, remains unsettled,
and as no communication has been received by the
creditors, it is looked upon as a desperate case. Another
party is also inquired after, and with several persons
who were present money seemed very scarce; so that,
on the whole, we may repeat the remark made at Don-
caster, that the settling has been the reverse of satisfac-
tory. In the course of the afternoon several animals
were backed for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire,
and for the former, Wood Pigeon, Cawroush, and Ulysses,
were at one time in great request; their friends, however,
became lukewarm towards the close, and the final quota-
tions showed a marked decline on the odds taken early
in the day. Closing prices:—

As a great number of the Cesarewitch horses are also
engaged in the Cambridgeshire Stakes, parties backing
them should be careful to specify the race—the necessity
of " comparing" is obvious.

THE PROTESTANT CHARITABLE ASSOCIATION.--
On Sunday the 179th anniversary of this charity was
celebrated at the Protestant Dissenting Church, Curtain-
road, Shoreditch. The association was originally
rounded in the reign of Charles 11. for the relief of the
Puritans and Primitive Methodists, who at that period
were subject to persecutions. It was stated, that in one
year alone, 1668. 500 preachers were imprisoned, and
2,000,0001. of property confiscated. The funds of the
charity are now used for the relief of the poor and
infirm.

A CHILD SAVED FROM DROWNING BY A DOG.—
On Sunday morning, a child of about five years of aie,
during the absence of a servant to whose care it was
intrusted. fell into the canal from the parapet of the
City-road-bridge. The accident had scarcely been dis-
covered before a large dog, of the Newfoundland breed,
leaped into the stream, and with great exertion saved
the life of the child, by keeping its head above water
until assistance was rendered from the shore.
DEPRECIATION OF RAILWAY PROPERTY. —We
have taken fifty of the principal railway lines, and find
that a most carefully-calculated comparison yields the
subjoined facts:—
Value of fifty lines of railroad, at the £ s. d.
quoted prices of their stock, on the 2d
of January, 1847 ... ... 59 557 000
Total calls on the above since January... 13 529 000

£73 086 000
Value of the same stock, including the
above calls, computed at the share list
prices of Saturday, Sept. 11, 1847 ... 57 884 000

Depreciation
So that the aggregate railway stock in these fifty lines,
which was worth in January last upwards of fitty-nine
millions sterling, is now worth only fifty-seven millions,
although thirteen millions and a half of money has been
added by new calls during the present year to their
paid-up capital. —/ti anchester Times.
THE PLAYERS; OR THE STARE OF LlFE.—This
new work, by Mr. Serle, must come like a perfect god-
send to the circulating libraries, and to the ennuied
frequenters of watering-places, for it is full of life and
spirit, and gives us, from the hand of one " as 'twere to
the manner born," an admirable series of pictures of
stage life. " This work (observes the Britannia) is the
best written romance of modern life we have met with
for a long time, and does more to enhance the reputation
of Mr. Serle as a man of talent, than any of his previous
productions. The plot and incidents of the tale are very
dramatic, and the characters well sustained throughout.
The work is altogether one of great merit."
TEETOTAL TAILORS.—A hundred and sixteen tai-
lors have been members of the Temperance Provident
Institution, some of them nearly seven years, and not a
ingle death has (marred.
