SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The betting on the Cesarewitcb, although far from
brisk, had the effect of driving Mokanna back to 11 to
1, Trickatress to 20 to 1, and Confidence to 1,000 to 15,
and of raising The Grand Duke to an equality with the
Goodwood favourite, and Hippolytus from 25 to 1 to
1,000 to 60 (takers). Newminster, who was scratched
for this event at a quarter before eleven in the morning,
became first favourite for the Cambridgeshire, for which
The Prime Minister was also in demand at a marked
improvement on the previous quotation. Closing prices:

upon the 63d clause of the 7th and 8 h Victoria, .a

which gives power to any person, by information and
mary proceeding before any justice or justices of the peace
in or near where the offence has been committed, to recover
penalties, &c., prosecuted several seamen for desertion. Four
of the men pleaded guilty on Friday, but the fifth, Thomas
Walker, having refused to do so, his desertion from the
Montrose at Quebec was clearly proved by Captain W.
Hemsley, the Sunderland shipping master. The magistrate
sentenced one of them to one month's imprisonment, another
to six weeks, and a third to three weeks' imprisonment. The
whole of their wages, amounting to 261. 16s. 11d., was de-
clared forfeited to the owners of the vessels from which they
had deserted, and Mr. Melouin having declared himself the
agent of those gentlemen, the money was handed over to
him to send to them. The men, by false representations,
having procured fresh register tickets at Sunderland on the
arrival of the Sprite, the collector of Customs in that port is
determined to proceed against them at the quarter sessions,
and upon conviction they will be subjected to twelve
months' imprisonment. They are also liable to be proceeded
against on another charge, two of them sailing under as-
sumed names, and the whole of them giving incorrect ac-
counts of themselves.
The Court of Assizes of the Loire Inferieure tried,
three days ago, a band of seven persons for having com-
mitted a number of desperate robberies in that department.
Provided with forged passports they went from place to place
on pretence of exercising the trade of bankers ; and when
opportunities presented themselves they perpetrated all
sorts of robberies. They then placed their booty in light
carts and decamped to a distant part of the depart-
ment. They were accustomed to sleep and live in their
vehicles, and it was some time before they were detected.
They were, it is supposed, in communication with
other bands which infest the southern departments. The
chief of the band was a man named Rivitle, and he attempted
to kill the officers who proceeded to arrest him. He wee
condemned to death. One of his accomplices, named De-
laire, was sentenced to hard labour at the hulks
labour for life;
another, named Junot, to twenty years' hard at the
hulks ; his mother, to imprisonment with hard labour for
life; two women, named Derenne and Guyard, to seven
years' imprisonment with bard labour; and the seventh ac-
cused, a man named Guyard, was acquitted. On hearing
the sentence cf death passed on her son widow Riviere
uttered piercing shrieks. •
PRAISEWORTHY CONDUCT.—On Monday week, as
three young girls were playing on a rock near Marsden, they
were suddenly surrounded by the sea. They were observed
sitting crying by several parties who were walking on the
sands, but none of them were courageous enough to proceed
to the rescue. At length, however, they were seen by
Mr two
gentlemen who happened to be passing. One cf them,
Kewney, solicitor, of Ncrth Shields, immediately stripped
himself of his coat, vest, and boots, and waded to the rocks
the girls were seated on, which was a considerable distance
from the dry land. He succeeded in bringing the one girl
after the other to the shore, amid the plaudits of the specta-
tors.—Sunderland Herald.
The mercantile letters from the continent yester-
day were without any intelligence of importance. The dis-
couraging features of the Austrian loan and of the state of
the currency at Vienna: show little variation. At most of
the principal cities the tendency of the rates of exchange con-
tinues in favour of this country. The accounts from the
various Bourses represent business in public securities as
being extremely limited. At Hamburgh prices, with the
exception of Six per Cent. Anaeri:an Securities, were flat,
sales having Preponderated.
