SPORTING INTELLIGENCE
TATTE RS ALL'S.—MoN DAY.
The attendance yesterday was thin, business languid
in the extreme until late in the afternoon, was, at the
hest, flat and unimportant. The principal transactions
on the Derby were 750 to 100 agst Van Tromp (20 to 1
offered once, to a score), 25 to 1, in ponies, agst Planet,
who, for some time past, has been on the totter, 1000 to
35, four or five times, agst Glentilt, 1,500 to 30, 1000 t•
25, and 450 to 10 agst Wanota, 2000 to 40 agst Red
Hart, 1,500 to 25 agst the Liberator, 5000 to 75 agst the
colt out of Calypso, and 1000 to 10 agst the colt
out of Calypso's dam—the Sister to Cobweb colt
we heard, was backed for a small sum at 25 to 1, but
certainly was not in demand, 20 to 1 having been offered
in ♦ain. The Leamington Steeple Chases were men-
tioned occasionally, but to very little purpose ; " weather
permitting," they will take place to-morrow and Thurs-
day. The prices subjoined are made up to the close of
the room :

OAKS.
20 to 1 agst Mr. J. Day's Farmer's Daughter—taken.
The rumour that Mr. Mostyn's horses were about to
be removed to John Scott's stables, turns out to be pre-
mature—at all events no authorised declaration of such
en intention has been made.

ACCIDENTS IN HUNTING.—Lord Gardiner met with
an accident while hunting two or three days since, and
dislocated his collar-bone. His Lordship being thus
"hors de combat," has directed that his hunters shall be
sold at Tattersall's on Monday week.—The Earl of Gran•
Ville also had a fall last Friday in the early part of a run
with the Royal Buck Hounds in the Vale of Aylesbury,
and is reported to have dislocated his ankle.

CHESTER RACES.-1647.
At a meeting of the Committee on Saturday last, the
Spring Races were fixed to commence on Tuesday, the
27th of April, being i❑ the blank week between the
Newmarket First and Second Spring Meetings.

PEDESTRIANISM.
THE SEVEN-3IILE MATCH AT WALWORTIL—The
walking match of seven miles, for a silver watch, yester-
day, brought to the starting point eight competitors.
Of the merits of five of them our pen declines record.
For the first five miles it was decidedly a manly struggle,
and well contested, between J. Morgan and F. Dimond
(of Pimlico). At starting Dimond took the lead, and
held it uatil 4i miles had been covered, when Morgan,
who had been in close and earnest attendance, gave him
the go-by. Di mond still, however, persevered, although
be lost time by a change of shoes. Eventually Morgan
walked in a winner by nearly the circumference of the
ground, which we take to be about 400) ards. The time
was lb. 4m. 2Svecs., which is not bad considering the
season, the ground, and the men. The hurdle race did
not come off, owing to there not being sufficient entries.
GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR 20/.—Yesterday, the
quarter of a mile race between Johnson, of Holloway,
and Mills, of London, came off in the North-road,
Islington. At the start, Mills got the lead, which he
kept for 100 yards. his opponent then came up, and
both men made a struggle for the goal, which Johnson
reached first, and won the match. The quarter of a
mile was covered in fifty-eight seconds.
STAPLETON AND SULLIVAN.—These men ran their
150 yards race yesterday, on Wandsworth-common.
Stapleton, against whom the odds were laid, got the lead,
held it, and ran in a winner by three yards at least.

PROMENADE CONCERTS.
The small prices of admission to these concerts, com-
bined with the talent which M. Jullien, and latterly, Mr.
Alcroft have assembled, have rendered these recrea-
tions of a highly popular nature. Various has been the
talent engaged, which comprise that skilled in wind as
well as string instruments, and is composed of English
as well as foreign. On one evening Koenig might rend
the air with his rich blasts that die away in echo, and on
another, our little countryman, Richardson, may be
heard warbling, bird-like notes, that on reaching the
ear, confirm the mind, that as great a player may be an
Englishman as a person from the sun-burnt soil of
Italy. Fr,sh arrivals are also secured to render these
concert; attractive. One of these appeared for the first
time before an English audience on Friday last. Though
unknown here in person, he bears a name that has long
been before the public, and to that name another laurel
is added by the youthful aspirant to English patronage.
At Covent Garden on Friday evening, Frederick Wilhelm
Kreutzer, nephew of the celebrated composer Rodolphe
Kreutzer, performed a solo on the violin—De Berriot's
seventh air. Although the house was erowded to excess,
and noisy in the extreme, before the young violinist had
completed the first movement, all was still, which still-
ness was only interrupted by repeated bursts of applause.
In rapidity of execution, this artist excels to a great de-
gree, nor is he less remarkable for his fine tone and feel-
ing. For the sake of his uncle, who has earned a name
that will ever be respected by the musical world, we wish
him that success which his talent merits.

ITALIAN OPERA AT COVENT-GARDEN.—After
much indecision and variety of opinion, it has been posi-
tively determined by the managers of this new company
that a ballet shall be added to the operatic performances.
This settles a question which has been a subject of dis-
cussion since the earliest origin of the speculation.
MARRIAGE OF CAPTAIN DALRYMPLE, 111. P.—On
Friday last, a meeting was held in the Town-hall, Stran-
raer, to devise measures for making a public demonstra-
tion in honour of the marriage of Captain Dalrymple to
the daughter of the Duke de Coigny, which is expected
to take place on the 9th proximo. Sir John M‘Taggart,
was in the chair. The meeting unanimously re-
solved that measures should be takenfor the purpose of
making a public demonstration, and a large and influen-
tial committee of the inhabitants of the town, and ot the
tenantry of the Rhins, was chosen for the -purpose of
carrying out the resolutions. At a meeting of the com-
mittee, held on Tuesday last, it was resolved that, on the
day of the marriage, there should be public dinners in
Stranraer, Glenluce, and Kirkcolm, and a grand ball in
the evening, to be held in the spacious apartments of the
Stranraer Academy, where efficient arrangements are in
progress fur the accommodation of the very large com-
pany that is expected to attend.—Dumfries Herald.
DEATH OF SIR G. MACPHERSON GRANT, BART.
—On the 24th ult. this honourable baronet died at Bal-
lindalloch Castle, in the county of Elgin. He was born
Feb. 25, 1781, and married, August 26, 1803, Mary,
eldest daughter of Thomas Carnegy, Esq , of Craigo,
Forfarshire, and has issue three sons and three daugters,
the eldest, John (born 3d August, 1804), succeeds to
the title and estates. Sir Goorge represented the county
of Sutherland in Parliament for 17 years, from 1809.
In 1806 he inherited, as heir of provision to his father's
maternal uncle, GE neral James Grant, the estate of Bal-
lindalloch, and assumed the surname of Grant. He was
created a baronet in 1838. The present baronet mar-
ried, in September, 1536, Marion Helen, eldest daughter
of Mango Nutter Campbell, Esq., of Ballimore, Argyll-
shire, and has a numerous family. He was sometimes
secretary of legation at Lisbon. The Macphersons of
Invereshie are chiefs of a large tribe which for ages has
been distinguished by the designation of " Slioch Gil-
lies," and which is composed of many considerable fami-
lies, not only ot the name of Macpherson, but of others,
as the Gillieses, Gillispies. &c.
