SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY•
THE DERBY.—The Rosalie colt was backed singly for
nearly 2001. et 14 to 1, Palmmon for a small sum at 18 to
1, and the odds taken about them jointly to upwards of
300/. ; this betting and the offers subsequently made
against Palm-mon, leave them in the same positions as on
Thursday. the 31st ult. Marshal Souit, Eringo, Corona-
tion, Sir Hans, Ralph, and Prince Caradoc, were men-
tioned, but did not undergo any change ; in fact, little or
nothing was done about either. Cameleon, however,dropped
in one.but to 30 to 1, laid in ponies in conjunction with a bet
of 20 to 1 to the same sum agst Eringo ; the Knight of the
Whistle (Rattle's dam) bad a strong party ; a small sum,we
believe, was got on at a fraction more, but assuredly the
market price did not exceed 33 to 1, and this could no 4
have been obtained to any amount. Wahab was backed
for upwards of 2001. at 35 to 1, Simoom for 1501. at 60 to
1, and a disposition was evinced to invest on " The Duke"
at an improvement on our last quotation. Closing prices:

A report pievails in military circles that Lord
Hill is about to retire from the Horse Guards, and that
the post of Commander-in- Chief will be put in commis-
sion. We have not been able to obtain information by
which to justify our confirming or contradicting the
rumour. Recont circumstances, which have become
matters of public notoriety, and for which Lord Hill has
been severely censured, have been mentioned as grounds
of the report.—Globe.
CANTERBURY ELECTION.— We understand
H. P. Gipps, Esq., has withdrawn a• a candidate for th©

terbury Journal

sury, is expected _ta arrive in town to-morrow, to resume

at Milton House, near Peterborough, the seat of Earl
Fitzwilliam, on Saturday week. We understand her lady-
ship and infant are going on very favourably.
The Duke and Duchess of Buckingham, with
the Marquis of Chandos and Lady Anne Greville, have
arrived at Stowe, near Buckingham, from Wotton, with
the intention of residing there until the meeting of Par-
liament.

ERRATUM.—In the Address of Mr. Acland to
the electors of Walsall, which appeared in The Sun on
the 3d inst., for "to appease and satisfy," read, "to
assure," &c.
Some doubts having been expressed as to the
precise nature of the advice to be offered to the Porte by
the Allies after the submission of Mehemet Ali, we feel
that we shall not be found wrong in stating that the Allies
will advise the Sultan to grant to Mehemet Ali the heredi-
tary possession of Egypt, as the Governor of the Turkish
province of Egypt, and not as vassal Prince, as some
persons have been led to believe. Connected in some
measure with this subject, we cannot avoid bestowing a
few words upon the rhapsodies of the Parisian journals
respecting some communications said to have been made
to the French Government from the Emperor of Russia.
Let our readers give us implicit credit when we assure
them that these boastings about a projected alliance with
Russia against England are merely childish ebullitions of
pique, and silly attempts to sow distrust and disunion
among the Allies. But Austria, Prussia, and England
know the personal character and high sense of honour of
the Emperor Nicholas too well not too laugh at these
little stratagems of the politicians of Paris ; and, more-
over, common sense must suggest to the most ordinary
comprehension, that if there were really any secret under-
standing on foot, or in contemplation, between France and
Russia, the French would endeavour to prevent us from
knowing anything about it, until it was completed, instead
of trump- ting it forth to all Europe before it had even be-
gun.— Observer.
NEW YEAR'S DAY.—New Year's Day was
ushered in here amidst the usual noisy demonstrations of
joy from the idlers upon our streets. It gives us much
plea►ure, however, to add, that the numbers, as well as the
unruliness of that class, appear to be much decreased from
former years. The groups of people that congregated in
the Mei-street, at the Register Office, and other 10.
calitics, mingled great good humour with their
hilarity ; and scarcely a single case of riot called
for the interference of the police. During the day,
numerous parties promenaded the streets, but for the most
part orderly and temperate—even localities whose reputa-
tion for temperance do not stand very high, partook of the
general good order; and an old residenter in the Cowgate
remarked he had never seen so much quiet prevailing as on
the present occasion. As night advanced, cases of intoxi-
cation became more frequent ; but, on the whole, the ge-
neral impression is that a more quiet and orderly New
Year's Day never took place in Edinburgh.—. Edinburgh
