THE ARMY.

The regiments of the line are immediately to stop re-
cruiting, until their strength is fifty below their present
-stablishment, by which means a reduction of eight thou-
sand men will be indirectly effected in a few months.
Government have under consideration the expediency
of abolishing the several inspecting field officers and re.
ruiting depots, of which there ate five in England, three
in Ireland, and one in Scotland. It is proposed that the
senior regimental officer at etch station should perform
the duty of inspector, and that non-commissioned officers
from the line could be employed as an escort in conducting
troops to their respective head-quarters.
The officers' mess at St. James's costs six thousand
pounds a year, and the officers' mess at the Castle of
Dublin costs one thousand one hundred pounds. These
are the only two guards where a mess is gratuitously pro-
vided for the officers on duty.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

This being the last betting week previous to the Epsom Races,
the Subscription Room was crowded during the whole of yester-
day afternoon by speculators from all parts of the country. Se-
veral horses were backed, and a good deal was done towards
squaring the books, which have been thrown into some confu-
sion by two or three circumstances. It will be seen that several
great alterations have occurred—Sir Robert fell back to 14 to I ;
and Prince Llewellyn, although quoted at to 1, is actually
more, as both Moses and Cactus were backed against him. No-
thing fresh on the Oaks. Frankenstein was backed freely for
the St. Leger, and settled first favourite. 'the odds at the ter-
mination of the day's business were thus :
