SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALLS'—YESTERDAY.
The Houghton settling, which occupied almost exclu-
sively the attention of the members throughout the after-
noon, did not pass over altogether satisfactorily. Many
complaints were heard, and towards the end of the proceed-
lags, offers to sell absent accounts, at prices varying from
15s. to ss. in the pound, according to their respective
merits, were made, and received with an ominous silence.
It is to be hoped, however, that the fears entertained will
ultimately prove to be groundless. There was scarcely
any betting on future events, the subjoined list of quota-
tions constituting all the business transacted :

BETTING ♦T MANCHESTER—MoNuAr.
We had a very fall attendance to-day, many of the sub-
scribers for the purpose of facilitating the settling on the
past week coming home before going to Worcester. There
are not many but are losers on the great event, but so far
everything has gone on very satisfactorily. Speculation
on future events was not very brisk. 4to 1 was offered on
the field for the Worcester Handicap, and a few animals
were backed for the Liverpool Cup, the particulars of which
will be best understood by referring to the quotations.

AQUATICS.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.

The recent defeat of Thomas White, of Bermondsey, by
the renowned James Chambers, of Newcastle upon-Tyne,
while it added one laurel more to the extraordinary achieve-
ments of this great master of the art of rowing, reflected the
greatest credit upon White's indomitable courage and desire
to retrieve the character of London watermen, whe had
hitherto shown themselves superior to the whole world. In
order to testify their respect for White's strenuous endea-
vours to win, and to express their sympathy for his loss,
which, in a pecuniary point of view, was considerable, the
leading members of various gentlemen's clubs have en-
gaged

Astley's Theatre for bis benefit to-morrow (Wednes-
day) night, when, in the course of " The Waterman," all
the great rowing men of the day will appear in their liveries
and badges. Apart from the operatic services of Mr.
Augustus Braham, Mr. Morton, of the Canterbury Hall, a
warm supporter of aquatic sports, has added Miss Russell
and other talented singers of his company, and it is hoped
poor White, who is an exceedingly well-behaved man,
have a bumper.
