SPORTING IN TELLIGEN OR—This Day,

•
VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—Tins DAY.
The heavy settling on the past Newmarket events
principally occupied the attention of members, who as-
sembled in strong force. Some little speculation took
place on the Cambridgeshire, for which event Honesty re-
mained first, finishing in fair request at 8 to 1, accepted in
hundreds. Julius, Friponnier, Wroughton, and Actioa,
were each in good request, while despite Knight of the
Garter being supported to win some thousands, Blink-
hoolie, his stable companion, found a backer who accepted
1000 to 30, and would have gone on at the price. The
prices are appended.

MR. CHARLES DICKENS is spoken of, we observe,
in the London Review, as "still rather lame from
his accident"—he having had no accident whatever, and
being about as vigorous and light of foot as a chamois
hunter in perfectly sound condition. Our contemporary
adds—a little more correctly, however, when speaking of
Mr. Dickens's proposed voyage to America—that " he does
not sail from our shores till the 9th of next month." Tho
London Review adding thereupon "Those who know
.America prophesy that he will have a great reception In
the southern and eastern cities, and also in the Athens of
America—Boston. But in New York it may be that the
Yankee-Irish press may get up some little anti-Eng-
lish demonstration, basing it upon the too truthful re-
presentations of Scadder, Pogram, the war correspon-
dent of the New York Stabber, and other characters in
' Martin Chuzzlewit,' and certain representations n
American Notes.' However, it is but fair to say tha
true Americans thank the great author for the lesson h
gave them; and the utter truth to nature—American
nature that is—of the portraits drawn. Surely liberty
must be a mockery if he who paints so truly be blamed for
his truth. The Americans are fond of talking about
General Washington. Let them imitate a greater general
and a more ardent Republican—General Cromwell, who
dared to say, `Paint me as I am; paint me with my warts.'
It was not a hero but a woman who desired to be drawn
without a shadow to her face."

FARADAY'S WIDOW.—We are glad to hear (says
the Athenasum) that her Majesty, of her own proper motion,
has written to Lord Derby, suggesting that a fitting pro-
vision should be made for the widow of Professor Faraday.
Nothing has yet been done in the way of fixing tho sum
to be secured to the bereaved lady; but our readers may
bo sure it will be such as England should propose to the
relict of her foremost man of science.

duty at the lioneurablo Artillery Company's head-quarters
