SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NE WMARKE T CR A VEN MEE TING, 1833.
NEWMARKET, APRIL 7.--This meeting, which com-
mences to-morrow, and marks the commencement of the
regular racing season, promises an abundance of sport ;
the list contains about forty Stakes and Matches, averaging
eight per day, and exceeding in value upwards of twent'
thousand pounds. Ever since its establishment the Rid.-
dlesworth has been a source of very considerable interes•
as well front its intrinsic value and importance, as from
its influence on the Derby ; it occasionally turns out,
however, that the expectation of eliciting some clue ti
that race is disappointed. Such was the case last year,
when the winners of that and the Column Stakes were
never heard of either before or after ; and such will pro-
bably be the case this year, for• we find three horses backed
for the Riddlesworth whose names are not to be heard
in any other speculations, These horses are Lon'
Tavistock's Anglesea, Mr. Wilson's Silvertail colt, ant
Lord Jersey's Joanna ; the latter has been backed
to a large amount, is a nice-looking mare, an
half-sister to the winner of this Stake in 1831 ; Anglese
ran a moderate third for the July Stakes, and in the saw•
Meeting beat Dirce in a match, giving weight ; it is non•
said that he was not up to the mark, and that his present
form betrays a vast improvement. With the exception o•
Anglesea, the field is entirely composed of dark horses.
The Column Stakes is very poor, nor are any of the Pro-
duce Stakes, although valuable, calculated to exercise any
serious influence on the betting ; in fact, we do not expect
any movement in the odds till we have seen something of
Glaucus and Forester, who are engaged in the First Spring
Meting.—(Forester's race on Tuesday is considered huh
short of a certainty.)—lndependent of those for the Three•
Year-Olds, there are some others of great richness, and in
which many of the crack horses of last season will come
out. As a betting race the Oatlands takes the precedence
of all these; the field is unusually large, and the weights,
to all appearance, equitably fixed ; fifteen horses. are in
it, of which Beiram, Consol, Lady Fly, Argent, Hokee
Pokee, Trustee, and the Mouse colt, have been backed
with much spirit. Sarpedon is out of training (in
consequence of having broken down last season),
and Burgomaster is hors de combat. For the Claret
we have Conrad, Minster, Beiratn, Perion, Potshumus,
Fang, Margrave, and Trustee ; all of them, we believe,
are well and at Newmarket. At Doncaster, after the St.
Leger, several heavy bets were made between Margrave
(winner of that race) and Beiram, and, should they both
start, there is no doubt that each will have plenty of sup-
porters. Perion has always been a great favourite with
the gentlemen, who insist that he has never yet been in hi,
right form. If this be the case, and he come well to the
post, Hargrave will find him a troublesome opponent, fee
a horse that can run second for the Derby, when amiss,
must possess racing qualifications of the highest order.
The Port has a brilliant field—St. Giles, winner of the
Galata, winner of the Oaks; Archibald, the conqueror ral
tne winner of the St. Leger; Dryad, Emiliana, Mixbury,
Messenger, Gratis, Olga, Roue, Bsssetlaw (dead), Blythe,
Francesco (not here), and Bysantium ; the betting will of
course be confined to the first three. Glaucus has two
matches this week, one to-morrow with Elvaston at even
weights, not expected to be run ; and another on Wed-
nesday, with the Ada colt, which was sold at Tattersall'•
for a 101. note ;• this will not be run. He is engaged in
the 2,000 gs. stakes and Newmarket stakes. Forester is
in a stake on Tuesday, and in the Newmarket stakes.
Prince Llewellyn and Revenge have nothing before the
Derby. Mount Eagle, Anglesea, and Emmiline have
plenty of engagements in this and the next meeting; the
Moses colt none at all.

During the last three or four days the posting througl,
Epping Place, Stoe.iwell, and Chesterfield has, in conse
quence of the approach of the Meetings, become quite
brisk, considering the general dulness of the times. We
were sorry to find, however, that on this road (de
cidedly the best posting one in the kingdom) the post-
masters have lost a vast number of horses from inAamma-
don of the lungs. The chief sufferers are Messrs. Ed-
wards and Stokes.

There has not yet been any betting to permit quotation.
Anglesea is still the favourite for the Riddlesworth, and
Silvertail next him ; both of them are in great force,
nothing else being mentioned. Nothing done in the Oat-
lands. For the Craven Stakes Sir M. Wood's favourite
mare Camarine is the favourite.

The weather is very fine, the course in pretty good
order, and every thing indicative of a fine week's sport.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)

This morninz the gin.ril quart.•r tiessions for this
county commenced, before 13. Rotel), Erq. AT.P. and a
full bench of Illagistratcs. The list of prisoners confined
in tie new prison, Clerkenwell, amounted to 214, the
gt, a tr portion of whom were for trial at three sessions.

pull at his pocket, and immediately misted his pocke t
handkerchief. On turning round he saw the prisoner
close beside hint, and on seizing hint he found the ham/ker-
chief in his hand. The prisoner struggled very much to
get loose, and struck the prosecutor severe blows, but lie
was eventually given in charge of a policeman.
The jury found him Guilty, and, as it was not known
that he had been convicted before, he was sentenced to
only three months' hard labour.
William Roberts, aged 17, was indicted for stetling a
silver table spoon, the property of Mrs. Ann Sarah Dny'e.
The prisoner was in the service of a Mr. Price. a
grocer in Berkeley-street, in whose house the proseentrix
litei. The spoon in question was missed from the
dinner table, after it had been used at dinner, on the 13th
of March, and was not to be found, although a strict in-
quiry was made of the prisoner, who pretended that lie
knew nothing of it. The following morning Hobbs, a
policeman, saw the prisoner and a Jew in close conver-
sation in the street, and suspecting something was wrong
he followed them, and am them go into a public.hou.e,
where the prisoner had some gin and the Jew some
Porter. Hobbs took them into custody, and when at the
station-house he searched the prisoner, and found the pro-
secutrix's spoon in his coat pocket. He at first said he
found the spoon, but afterwards admitted be took it from
his master's house.

The prisoner, in defence, said he found the spoon in the
dust-hole, and knowing it was not his master's, he thought
ha might take it.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character.
The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to he
imprisoned two months, and to be once whipped—the first
and last weeks to be in solitary confinement.
Mary Andrews and Mari,: Mitchell were indicted for
stealing a tab'e-cloth and several mutton chops, the pro-
perty of 'William Dyall Burnaby.
It appeared that Andrews was taken into the service of
the prosecutor, as cook, and Michell was occasionally em-
ployed there as charwoman. While Andrews was in his
employ, which was only from the bth to the 17th of
February, the prosecutor missed several things. On the
latter day he kept watch, and discovered Mitchell outside
his area, receiving a bundle from Andrews, who was in
the area. They were both taken into custody, and the
bundle was found to be a quantity of mutton chops,
wrapped up in one of the prosecutor's table-cloths.
Andrews, in her defence, said it was only broken-
meat which her mistress had given her permission to give
away.

The prosecutor denied that statement.
Mitchell, in her defence, said she had the meat given
her as broken victuals, which she believed the other pri-
soner had the right to give her.
Several witnesses gave Mitchell a good character.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty, but recommended
Mitchell to mercy on account of her previous good cha-
racter.

The CHAIRMAN sentenced Mitchell to two month hard
labour, and Andrews to be transported for seven years.

THE ITALIAN OPERA.-Mr. LAPORTE iS
making great efforts for the brilliant co:npleiion of the
Opera season. BELLINI, the composer, conics to super-
intend the production of his Opera Norma.

Yesterday being Easter Sunday, the Right
Hon. Sir S. HULSE, the Governor of Chelsea College, gave
orders that the gardens of the hospital are to be open to
the public every Sunday during the summer. These gar-
dens have been closed from the public nearly seven years,
in consequence of some mischievous persons having wdn..
tonly destroyed several of the young trees.
OSTEND, APRIL G.—Yesterday a meeting
took place between Colonel LYSTER. and Lieut. HOARE,
R. N., when Lieutenant HOARE was abut through both
his thighs, and, the arteries being wounded, it is not ex-
pected that be will recover. The meeting took place in
consequence of an insult offered to the Either of Lieutenant
HOARE.

Mr. ARNOLD, the proprietor of the English
Opera House, has appointed Mr. PLANCHE manager of
his establishment at the Adelphi Theatre. The profession
nd the amateurs congratulate Mr. ARNOLD on his selection.
At the Petty Sessions, held on Saturday, at
the Guildhall in this city (Canterbury), application was
made by Mr. GIBBON, from Mr. HARMER'S office, to ad-
mit Sir W. COURTENAY to bail. It was urged, amongst
other things, that the Magistrates not having a Quarterly
Sessions, he would have to lie in gaol till next July, in..
stead of being brought to trial next week, in the ordinary
course. It was admitted by the Bench that this was a
great hardship, but the application was negatived after
much discussion.—Kentish Gazette.

SPRING.—No sooner does warm weather ap-
proach than it recedes again. On Sa.urday, the thermo-
meter, in a sheltered situation, fell below 40.

- - ---
The convict ship Waterloo, under the super-
intendence of Mr. STEPHENSON, surgeon, R.N., arrived
it the Motherbank on Sunday last. This ship embarked
her convicts at Chatham and Sheerness, and in a few
days the cholera made its appearance on board of her.
The worst cases were immediately removed to an hospital
ship, and eight of them died. As the remainder were
presumed to be well, the ship was ordered to the Mother-
hank on the 29th, to see if change of situation would
insure a continuance of health ; in her two days' passage,
however, one man died, and one man has died since her
arrival here; she has now only one ease of cholera, and
that is a convalescent one. The ship is in the strictest
quarantine.—Hampshire Telegraph.
An inquest was held at the King and Queen
Inn, Brighton, on Friday last, on the body of Mr. JOHN
PARK, who resided on the Grand Parade, and was found
lead in his bed on the morning of that day. It appeared
chat the deceased had long been in a declining state, and
medical evidence having been adduced to show that apo-
plexy was the immediate cause of his death, a verdict was
returned in accordance—Died by the Visitation of God.
AN ABSENTEE RECTOR.—At the County
Down Assizes, a person, named ARIWTHNOT, brought an
tetion against the Rev. EDWARD LKSLIE, rector of the
parish of Drornore, for damages sustained by the non-
residence of the defendant. It appeared that be had not
heen in his parish at any time during the year 1831.
Fee jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—. Damages.
594/. 103. 6d, and 6d. costs.

SCALE OF MARRIAGES.--A calculator has
made out the following estimate of the chances of matri-
mony a girl has at the different periods of bet life. Out
of 1,000 women, 32 are married between 14 and 15 ;
101 between 16 and 17; 219 between 18 and 19; 233
b.tween 20 and 21; 165 between 22 and 23 ; 102 be-
between 24 and 25; 60 between 26 and 27 ; 45 between
•28 and 29; 18 between 30 and 31 ; 14 between 32 and
33; 8 between 81 and 35 ; 2 between 36 and 37 ; and
1 between 38 and 39. To judge by this table, a lady of
30 years would have only 28 chances of getting married
gut of 1,000; when passed 40, the chances are far less.—
Liverpool Chronicle.

PARISIAN DRANIA.—.The grant made this
year in support of the Theatres of Paris, including a pro-
vision for pensioning members of the French Opera and
the " Conservatoire de Musique," amounts to 52,000/.
The appropriations out of this grant are—to the Opera
31,920/. ; the Theatre Francais, 6,240/. ; the Opera,
Comique, 6,000/. ; the Italian Opera, 2,9201. ; ihn
"Odeon," 1,1201. ; and the pensions attached to the
French Opera, 1,2001, ; as well as those appertaining to
'he Conservatoire, 2001.

At a recent meeting of the Westmunster
Medical Society, Mr. DELAFONS, the well-known dentist,
in reply to a member, said that the various " anodyne
cements," " mineral suocedanes," and " destruction of
the nerve," so extensively advertised, were all trash. " I
saw," said Mr. DELAFoNs, "a person the other day, in
whom the interval between two teeth bad actually been
plugged up with " anodyne cement," under the impres-
sion that the se aW was a dental decay which required
stopping. licles in the teeth, in fact, are repeatedly

Flo destroy all sensation in the tooth itself ; hut then the
levitalied l o.ie will still give pain, in the !Arne manner
,hat a common splinter would irritate the surrounding
parts. Mr. CHINNOCa mentioned a case in which a
noted advertising dentist took out a tooth from a lady, and
having produced great hemorrhage, removed two more
teeth, one after the other, to stop it, and finally filled the
hole made with melted wax, to arrest the bleeding. In
the middle of the night the lady sent for Mr. Cnititioot;,
in consequence of the wax failing; ano, alter she had
