SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
Trtz DERBY.—The weight of the betting `as on Van Am-
burgh, Coronation, and the Rosalie colt, the emnmissions to
back the first of the three being so strong, that, after a few bets
at 10 and I I to 1, he caught Rosalie, and was backed at 9 to 1,
being little more than half the odds laid on the Thursday' be-
fore. Coronation's friends laid out their money freely, 17vst
at 10 to 1, and, on the offers failing, at 9 to 1 ; and as the
latter odds were taken about Rosalie, and several even five
hundreds were laid, we cannot venture to say which of the
three left off first favourite. Ralph was in favour, but the
general feeling was adverse to Eringo, Cameleon, and Pale-
mon, and the Knight of the Whisle, although not mentioned
singly, can scarcely be considered so good a favorite as at the
commencement of the Van Amburgh movement on Monday,
the 22d instant. Very little was done against outsiders, and
on the 0.10 the only bets laid were against Lampoon, who
stands alone in the betting. Closing prices :

FASHIONS FOR APRIL.

(From the 46 London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of
Fashion.")
Small patterns, stripes, and checks, will be fashionable this
season, in mourning dresses; and for the promenaie, poplins
brochees, watered silks, l'armure prairie, in small brochee
flowers, on light green ecru, or lilac grounds ; orientales, you
de soie, fleur de Es ; velvet ailes de mouche, is the prettiest
n)velty, and derives its name from possessing the softness of
velvet, with lightness and variety of its tints ; the armure ro-
caile is also admired. Tight sleeves cannot be considered
very general, in light materials they will not he admitted;
flounces arc not much in favour, skirts continue
to be made long, and the bodies are still pointed. Fancy bead
kuttons are much used on ball dresses, and it is expected they
will be fashionable on redingotes this season. For ball dresses,
crap; 5, gauzes, watered silks, with double and treble skirts,
gnimp trimmings, marabouts, and flowers ornament them, the
corsa,,,•e a la Grecque, and the short sleeves' full trimmed.
Black has been very fashionable in Paris, whether in velvet,
satin, watered silk, crare, or lace dresses ornamented with
diamonds or flowers. Redingotes of silk are trimmed with
folds, edged by a narrow fringe, or with small chicorees.
Scarfs of the same material as the dress are much admired in
Paris, the ends are fringed, and the folds are confined on the
shoulders ; they are worn in silk, mousselines de laine, &c. &c.
Scarfs of shaded silk, orange glacee, with white or blue glacee,
are trimmed with point d'Alaicon • black lace scarfs, as well
as those of point lace, mechlin, muslin, china crape, and foulard,
are all in fashion.
A new shaped berthe has appeared, with four points, one
reaches to the point of the body, the others are on the shoulders
and back.
Berets, toques of black velvet, with marabout turbans re-
sille, round hats a la creole, a la belle poules ; turbans of gauze,
embroidered in gold, with crowns of velvet sprigged with gold,
or of cachemire, with scarfs of point lace and tassels, Alge-
rien. Coiffures Madonna ala Louis XIV., small toquets de
page, hats a la marquise, arc all now in demand.
Straw bonnets are preparing in Paris, a jours, with liserees
of velvet, others with filets of chenille ; also close capotes of
Leghorn and paille de 1 iz. Capotes of crape are very fash-
ionable just now in Paris, in pink, green, lilac, with mara-
bouts of the same coliair, or wreaths of roses, mixed with
heart's-ease and reseda.

THE PRINCESS ItoyAL.—We have received
several letters on the 5111 ject cf a most malicious rumour,
as it corccrns this ila trious personag-. It has beta
stated that her Royal Highness is blind, and of imperfect
intellect; but we can assure our readers, and the public
generally', that the Princess can see quite as well as the
test of them, and th tt, in mental caeacity, she is gifted
beyond her age.—Court .Journal.

THE SPORTSMAN.

Of the class to which this Magazine belongs, it
is by far the cheapest, and certainly by no means
the woist ; for, attracted by a liberality which is
its own reward, the Sportsman has drawn around
him gentlemen whose productions would reflect
credit, and impart character, to any periodical.
As proof we may instance two papers, by
Nimrod, a Biographical Sketch, and " A Visit
to Melton," both of which contain the character
istically pleasing conversation of " the old sports-
man ;" " Sports of the Fancy," a capital song by

T. Dibdin " Tailors and Coats," too, as far as
cut goes, is excellent. The opening fragment, or
" find," by " A Foxhunting Parson," is a spi-
rited compound of fun and pungent irony, sub-
serving, we suspect, in the sequel, to something
worth knowing by all, and by none more than
sportsmen. We anticipate a good deal of pleasure
from the progress of the story. - The other papers,
generally are agreeable reading ; and the engrav-
ings, as usual, arc executed in the first style of art.
The Wisbeach prize hunter, drawn by Davis, and
engraved by Westley, is a gem, alone worth five
times the price of the Magazine. We should
like the original—not Davis's picture—but Rey-
nold's nag—fit " to go," some fine hunting day,
in a good stiff country where foxes are neither fat
nor few.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVEIiPOOI. COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—To-day being
a particular holiday, very little business has been done in
the Cotton Market. The sales Were 2.300 bags, at about
yesterday's quotations.

We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers of the
31st of October, but they contain no news of importance.

We have received Jamaica Papers, by the mail, to the
28.,11 of November.

The House of Assembly pregressed considerably, on
Wednesday last, with the Militia Bill, the Committee hav-
ing reported progress on the 70th clause. A great many
clauses, however, were taken from the old Bill, with slight
modifications.

We have received Demerara Papers to the 15th of No-
vemcer.

BARB &DORS.—We perceive that a ptiblic meeting has
been recently held at Barbadoes, by the merchants and
others for the raising of " ways and means" to meet the
expenses of the island, and for which an additional tax of
two per cent. is placed on the goods imported into the
island, and also a duty on the produce of the island ex-
ported.
We learn, by a gentleman who has recently arrived from
Hayti, that provisions of their own growth were very
scarce, and selling at double the usual rates. No doubt
the drought recently experienced in this and other islands,
Lid extended to St. Domingo, and produced the scarcity
alluded to.

The Dutch mail has arrived of the date December 30,
bringing the ptices from Amsterdam of the 29th of De-
cember :—Two-and-a- Half per Cents. 49i; Five per

THE COLONIAL MAGAZINE.

Independently of numerous first-rate business
articles on the present condition and future pros-
pects of our colonies, the Colonial Magazine foi
January, under the superintendence of its able and
judicious editor, Mr. Montgomery Martin, is em-
bellished with a fine view of St. Jean d'Acre, eleven
wood engravings of scenes in India, and six figures
representing the aboriginal tribes of Australasia
and New Zealand. " England in 1841," with
which this number commences, is a cleverly-written
sketch of the policy of Great Britain, Foreign and
domestic, but the writer arrives at conclusions
which, to our thinking, his premises do not altoge-
ther warrant. " Continental India" is a brief but
very interesting review of Mr. Massie's valuable
work on that country. The " Progress of Manu-
factures among Foreign Nations" will convince such
of our law-makers as take the trouble to peruse it
carefully that the final effect of our Corn-laws, and
other restrictive enactments, must be to ruin the
manufacturing industry of this country. The notes
of the month are numerous and well arranged.

ANECDOTE OF ARIOSTO.—The father of the
poet having been displeased with him, reprehended his
conduct with unusual warmth and severity; Ariosto listened
to the reproaches with an abstracted air, but replied not,
and his father left the chamber. Gabrieli, the brother of
Ariosto, who was present, urged the same reprimands that
their father had used ; when Ariosto immediately satisfied
him that the condemnation which he bad incurred was
unmerited, by explaining the misconception of their
parent. " But why not have communicated this fact to
our father, and so have exculpated yourself?" was the na-
tural question of Gabrieli. " Because I was thinking all
the titre he reproached me so angrily, that the scene then
passing might he successfully used in the comedy I am
writing,—the Cassaria ;' in which I have introduced an
old father admonishing his son, and mine furnished an
good a model, that I forgot the actual, in the composition
of the imaginative."—Lady Blessingion's Idler in Italy,

NEWS FROM TURKEY. --

VIENNA, DEO 22.—The accounts from Constantinople
of the Bth inst., which arrived here by express last night,
and appear in the Austrian Observer to-day, stating the
Porte had declared the conventions concluded by Commo-
dore Napior with Mehemet Ali to be null and void, had
the effoct of greatly increasing the apprehensions of our
Exchange, and depressed the funds, so that Bulk Shares
were to be had to-day, 1540, and other stocks in the same
proportion. It may, however, la- justly doubted whether
these apprehensions arc well-founded, since news may be
daily expected that Admiral Stopford has concluded a
similar convention at Alexandria, which may, perhaps,'dif-
fer only in the form from that of Commodore Napier,. as it
is known that the instructions sent to Admiral Stopfurd
contain a clause that the unconditional submission of
Mehemet Ali, and his own application for pardon, is to be
considered as the final condition of his rcinstalment- It is
highly probable that Mehemet Ali will not make any op-
position on this point, since he must he sensible that he bas
no alternative but either to accept the hereditary Pachalie
of Egypt on these terms, or to expose himself to total ruin•

LIABILITY OF PARISHES AS TO EXPOSED
CHILDREN AND 1)1 ?,AD BODIES.—At an inquisition held
on the Ist ult.., at the Gloucester Arras Tavern,
Gloucester-road, Kensington, before Mr. Wakley,
M. P., Coroner for the western division of Mid-
dlesex, on the body of a male child about twelve
months old, wl (r,ch bad been found exposed on the
night of Friday, t Are 28th Nov., at the gate of the house
No. 14, Maida-li ill West, Paddington, and who died in a
few ohurs after its removal to the workhouse of the
Kensington Uni at 1, a question arose as to the power
of the parish c ,0 kers of the Board of Guardians to
issue advertiscm I ins offering a reward for the dis-
covery of the i ,nhuman parents, which has drawn
from the Poor-lac w Commissioners an opinion that "As
parish officers hat /e no power to blear any expenses for
the prosecution < (f vagrants, and have no duty to
provide for the burial of a corpse found in the parish,
the Commission( to s cons Per that there is no authority for
their incurring c z pence in advertising for the discovery of
the person who , :::posed such child or such corpse. if, in-
deed, upon any sr x h advertisement the party weredisco•.ered,
a prosecution mi ;1-1t be imti tutcd, but the Commissioners do
not know how a ay reimbursement of the expense incurred
could be coypu Iserily obtained from such party." The re-
sult of the corr espondenee from which the abov,A is an ex-
tract, appears t, ► be, that there are no funds whatever appli-
cable to the pa) 'r _rent of expenses incurred in the prosecu-
tion of persons eserting and exposing their children, even
should the offe c 'e amount to murder, as in the above case,
nor to adver.fik\s g a description of the child, &c., or offer-
ing a rewardif v.: the apprehension of the delinquents.
SAVEDtg Y A HALTER.—We have often tpro-
tested against the destruction of human life by the halter,
but it is now ou r pleasant duty to record an instance in
which it was say tcl by that means. Last Saturday, as the
Mariner, of Ply, uouth, was nearing this harbour, the main-
sail jibbed, cart )ring away the run, and threw a young man
overboard. H. t as taken some distance from the ship,
but just as he v tag sinking Captain Clevely cleverly threw
the hitch of a rope round his neck, and in this extraordi-
nary manner rtaicued tlan drowning man from death.—

WOOLWICH-FRIDAY.

THE ARMY.

About ten o'clock- yesterday murnitik, the streets of
Greenwich presented the singular spectacle of upwards of
250 men, one or two from each of the line regiments, from
the let Royals to the 99th inclusive, with the exception of
the Highland regiments and the Rifles, and one or two
others. The singularity consisted in their various-coloured
facings and numb:irs, each biting attired in the costume of
the regiment to which be belonged. They appear to be
all young men who have volunteered to join the regiments
about to proceed to the East Indies, and were on their way
to Chatham fur that purpose. They only left Ireland,
where the depots Li which they were attached are stationed,
on Tuesday, and were conveyed by steam to Euston-square,
in the incredible short space of time of less than two days'.
They appear in excellent health and spirits at the idea of
their intended journey to a foreign land.

LONDON:
SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1841,

Our Tory Contemporaries are again speculating,
as the year begins, on the chances of their friends
climbing, by some bye-path or other, into office.
We, however, can see no more hope for them now
than at the beginning of 1840. They were then to
take office by storm, and Sir JoirN YARDE
BULLER led the assault, but they were shamefully
beaten back and never rallied for another similar
attack. They certainly hovered about, blockaded
the fortress, intercepted supplies, prevented egress,
made a number of feints, but made no other at-

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET-Dm 10.

The resumption of the Philadephia banks, on the 15th
of January, if not sooner, which is now generally an-
nounced and believed, does not seem to give any an:ma-
lion to the markets generally—indeed the reverse is felt.
In the stock market a general fall has taken place, vary-
ing from to 2 per cent. Money is also scarce and
dearer.

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

The ‘lsiotWfor the New Year," afford a brief
sketch of the state of the Army and Navy, mixed
up with not a little grumbling. Indeed the writer
of these notes beats all his Contemporaries in this
respect, and though some of his complaints are
well founded, there are others for which so much
cannot be said ; and instead, therefore, of benefiting
the service by constantly reiterating grievances,
some great, some small, and soma imaginary, may
not the effect on those at the head of the two
Services be somewhat diminished ? It is gratify-
ing, therefore, to find exceptions to this ge-
neral rule, and if praise like the following
were always given m hen due, we are confident
the Journal would be a more efficient advo-
cate for the redress of wrongs. " The results
of the Naval and Military Commission" says the
writer, " which excited an interest so intense and ex-
pectations so overcharged during the last year,
while disappointing many, have yet been productive
of benefit. On the whole we must accept as a
boon the instalments offered by this Commission,
which, though it have not redressed all wrong, has
undoubtedly effected some good present and pro-
spective." In the Editor's Portfolio, an interesting
account is given of the brass gun found on the
walls of Tinghai, in the island of Chusan, in which
it is very satisfactorily made out, that it was sent as a
present by Queen Elizabeth to the Emperor of China
about the beginning of the 17th century. It ap-
pears that the Richard Phillips whose name the
gun beats, was one of the Royal gun-founders
during the reigns of James and Elizabeth, and it
is remarkable that in the year in question, 1601, a
brass gun, answering the description of that cap-
tured at Tinghai, was cast by this gun-founder,
being the only one of the kind cast by him for
one or two years before or after the year 1601, as
the records preserved in the Tower show. The
following is an extract from these records :
"To Richard° Phillips another of her s. d.
Mats. ffoyinders of Brasse Ord naunce for
the castingeand making° of one cannon
