SPORTING INTELLIGENCE
TAT rERSALL'S—WEDNEsDAY.

The Derby betting, although extremely flat, was not unim-
portant, inasmuch as it brought Planet and Bowstring pro-
minently into notice, and sent Mr. Martin, if not altogether
out of the market, at least out of any:kind of favour; the odds
quoted being quite nominal. Van Tromp also gave way ; and
for the Oaks, as much as 10 to 1 was laid against the Farmer's
Daughter. These were the only movements of any conse-
quence.

EPSOM RACES.—We are glad to state that Sir Gilbert
Heathcote has, with his usual kind feeling, allowed a portion
of his park poles to be removed,which will enable the Derby
horses to be pulled up within his paddock; this will no
doubt prevent a recurrence of the accidents which have
frequently taken place at Epsom at the finish of
a race, and recently on the Metropolitan day, when
two horses ran away down Chalk-lane, only having previ-
ously thrown his rider, who was seriously hurt, and raced
through Epsom town, by the Spread Eagle. (We trust this
permission will not be confined to the Derby). The ground
is in first-rate cond ton, owing to the judicious improve-
ments, made by Mr. Dorling, during the last two winters, at
a great expense to the fund. The Betting-room, at Lumley's
Spread Eagle Inn, will be open as usual. There will be an
Express-train to Epsom from London-fridge, on Fliday,
Saturday, Sunday, and4Monday mornings, at five o'clock.

LITERATURE.
.51,1111101VDS' COLONIAL MAGAZINE.
The number of Simtnonds' f c May contains more than
the average amount of valuable information relating to
our colonial empire.

THE BANKER'S MAGAZINE.
What the opinion of this commercial organ is upon
the notorit .us currency scheme of 1844, upon the impolief
of which we have latterly been so frequently inveighing,
may be gleaned from the subjoined paragraph:—
" Well, the railway mania has subsided, but a fresh cause
of disturbance has supervened. A famine in Ireland has
compelled us to be heavy buyers of foreign grain, and conse-
quent exporters of bullion. A million or two have left the
coffers of the Bank ; ane4, behold, the Act has been trying
its strength upon the exchanges. The first turn of the
screw, under the new principle, drove the first railway cum'
pany in the world into the market, a borrower at five pet
cent., and caused the banks to restrict their advances. The
public funds have sunk in principal value already some
eighty millions sterling; the minimum rate of discount has
been elevated to p -panicoint ; doubt and discredit are spread"
ing from the centre of disturbance, like a circle in Ue.
water; pressure has commenced; and, in the conviction a
thousands, panic is at hand! " Lold
Thti •se are the consequences of the pernicious Peel-Lola
theory; of that theory which the Right lion. Baronet,
the Member for Tamworth, had the cool self-cora;
placency to tell us only the other evening in the 110115 r,
of Commons was our only safeguard against the I:ectiAs
rence of a financial crisis. The only safeguard ?
well might we designate a reef of sunken breakers "
a prevention against shipwreck on the maincoast•

with the aristocracy is the trial of Capt: Goodere, or
the murder of his brother—a trial interesting ill e
itself; and rendered still more interesting from 'the
fact that Sam Foote, the English Aristophanes, wAs

LE PULLET:
Though we are not naturally, disposed to attach much
importance to the ephemeral delineations of the evanioseent
fashions, we cannot but introduce this charming little
magazine des modes among the periodical publications of
a more pretending character. The plates are beautiful!,
drawn and very exquisitely coloured, and they ar°
glimpses into the boudoirs and salons worthy of more
than a casual contemplation.
