SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

NEWMARiET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
NEWMARKET, TUESDAY Nmirr, TEN O'CLOCK.

Our dispatch from the heath communicated the defeat of the
St. Leger winner, a result altogether unexpected, and attri-
buted by many to the physical incapacity of his rider. He
bad previously been backed for the Cesarewitch at 8 and 9
to 1, but immediately after the race 15 to 1 was offered, Tom
Tullock rising to 9 to 1, and the Baron to 10 to 1; Jonathan
Wild, the Montreal colt, and the Terrier, also having many
friends. The betting at the subscription rooms in the even-
ing introduced some new favourites, but did not throw out
any feature of importance. The last quotations were as fol-
lows :

THE LATE EARL OF YARBOROUGII.—At day-
break on Tuesday morning her Majesty's steamer Light-
ning,esl yacht, arrived off the Spurn Light, having in tow the
Kestrel
with the remains of the above lamented
nobleman on board. The yacht was then conveyed up
the river as far as.
White Booth roads, in the Humber,
where the remains were landed preparatory to their in-
terment to-do at Brocklesby.
IlownEß
(JREAT HORSE FAlR.—Thisgreat fair
was held on Friday for the sale of horses. A good
amount of business was transacted, and a large number
of young carriage-horses were purchased by London
horse dealers and job masters at high prices; old hones
made a low price.
DRIED FRUITS.—The season for the importation
of dried fruits has commenced at an unusually early
period, and the supplies now taking place from the south
of Europe are of the most extensive character. The
enumeration of some of the arrivals within these three
days will be sufficient to bear testimony to the correct-
ness of this statement. One vessel, the Fah's, from
Denia, brought 2.641 hexes, and 1,557 half boxes of
raisins, and several of melons ; the Ellen Gilman, from
the same place, 4,000 large boxes, and 2,000 half boxes
of raisins; and another, the Romp, frcm Malaga, a most
extensive cargo of fruits, comprising 3,252 boxes, 2,307
half, and 2,300 quarter boxes of raisins ; 19 cases, 25
barrels, and 100 half barrels of the same kind of fruit,
70 packages of almonds, 14 chests, and 26 boxes of
lemons, 200 barrels, and 75 half barrels of grapes, 8
chests of pomegranates, and 500 melons, the production
of that fruitful place. Another, called the Lady Rebow,
also from Malaga, in addition to 4,971 packages of rai-
sins and other fruits, ti.e large number of 3.000 pome-
granates, with others from the same places with equally
extensive cargoes, which we have not space, neither is
it requisite, to enumerate. The same remark made a
few days since, with respect to the importation of grapes,
and of their excellent quality this season, will equally
apply to the dried fruits now imported to so great an
extent. Owing to the fine summer for the production
and ripening of such articles, they are very abundant,
are of unusually fine quality, and in first-rate condition,
and will probably be obtainable at a reasonable price
throughout the coining season for the consumption of
suck lands of fruit.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, P.ll.—No further accounts
have reached town to-day from the Great Britain. It is
apprehended that the strong winds with which the
Channel was yesterday visited may have occasioned
further injury to the ship. To-day, however, the
weather has again moderated to a gentle breeze from
the north-west, and better anticipations are indulged in.
The catastrophe still remains a subject of wide in-
terest. Inquiries are constantly being made as to the
cause, and the most contradictory statements are cur-
rent. On the one hand, an assertion is made that the
Isle of Man was distinctly seen, and that therefore the
plea of the light of St. John's being mistaken for that of
the Calf of Man is unwarranted; on the other, it is
asserted that the island was not seen. By others the
catastrophe is ascribed to the effects produced upon the
compass when the ship is propelled by a submerged
screw. But these various statements are entirely un-
suliforted by reliable proof; and while we mention them
as the topics of the time and the occasion, we by no
means desire to express an opinion ourselves as to the
causes by which the noble steamer has been stranded.
