SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TOESDAT.
The attendance to-day at the rooms was rather
numerous, and much business was done in the way
of enrolling subscribers for the preent year ; but,
as regards betting, actual transactions were few.
The Chester Cup now begins to be much talked
about, and the entries for it are looked upon as
being good, considering that many horses were dis-
qualified for having ran in Selling Stakes under the
Shrewsbury II egociations.
As we have upon a previous occasion stated, the
majority of the book-makers have, during the pre-
sent winter, refrained from betting upon this event
until the weights are published ; and, with the ex-
ception of them now offering 1,000 to 30 on the
field, they appear detel mined to adhere to their re-
solution. Perhaps it would be as well to mention
the names of those horses that have figured promi-
nently in the little betting that has been done,
which are as follows :—Rocket, Dulcainara, Good
Friday, Yolatore, Physician (by Chanticleer), Ge-
nera]
Bosquet, Tinwold, and Night Ranger.
For the Derby, Ditto was backed to win 5001. at
22 to 1 ; 300 to 20 was taken about Toxopholite,
and 450 to 25 about Sedbury. 25 to 1 was offered
against Longrange, and 100 to 8 against Clydes-
dale. For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes
offers against Clydesdale were numerous at 4 to 1,
and one bet of 100 to 20 against came under our
notice ; but from what we have at present seen we
consider that over the market price. 100 to 15 was
offered against Brother to Marchioness, and 10 to
1 bar two. Closing pricesi:—.

PUGILISM.

THOMAS SAYERS AND WILLIAM BENJAMIN, FOR
2001. A-SIDE AND THE CHA.MPIONSIIIP OF ENGLAND.
—Tom Sayers step by step has fought his way up
to the championship of England. Sayers's last
achievement within the ropes, prior to the present
match, was with the colossal Tipton, whom he de-
feated with ease. At first the challenge of his op-
ponent of yesterday was considered by the friends
of Sayers to be mere braggadocio, but it was soon
plain that Benjamin, novice that he was, meant
business from the ready manner in which he pro-
duced the needful to make the match. Benjamin
is a remarkably fine athletic young fellow, stand-
ing 5 feet 1O inches, and weighing 12 stone, so
that in these respects he possessed considerable ad-
vantage over his opponent, and looked from top to
toe big enough to contend for the championship.
The result, however, proved how ridiculous it is to
bring an untried man, and set him at his first essay
to contest with the best man out. The management
of Benjamin's affairs regarding the match was un-
dertaken by Harry Broome, while Sayers took his
training under the protecting care of John Gideon,
and Lever did this specimen of a British boxer show
in more splendid condition. Yesterday was the day
appointed and the arrangements made were such as
t ) meet general approval. The start took place
from London-bridge by half-past seven o'clock a.m.,
by special train to Stroud, where a steamer was in
readiness to convey the belligerents and their
friends to the scene of action. The prices charged
for first and second class were also " special," and
this kept away many ; so that, as may be ima-
gined, all passed off in an orderly manner. The
weather was piercingly:cold. When the ring ar
ran(remeuts had been completed by ho commissary,
the belligerents enteie.l. Sayers doing so with bin
usual nonchalant air. In hett,ng he was the fawn]
rite, at 7to 4. No time was lost in completing the
toilets of the combatants, and wh-n their seconds
had given them the finishing touch in this respect,
they wore c )nducted to the scratch, and left to
begin this long-talked-of and exciting battle. Those
who had expected to witness a rattling, dashing
mill were doomed to disappointment, for this con-
test was the briefest that bad ever occurred to
decide the championship of England. Not more
than three rounds were fought, but these were quite
sufficient for Benjamin, who in that short space of
time (seven minute) had had quite enough of Tom's
hsndywork. In the third round the gallant Tom
caught " the novice" so severely on the base of the
jaw, that he either could not or would not answer
to the call of " time." The delight of Sayers's
friends was as vociferously expressed as the disap-
pointment of those of Benjamin was visible in their
dismayed countenances. The victor now continues
to hold the belt so fairly won, and has next to meet
the more experienced and more formidable Tom
Paddock, who recently beat Harry Broom, the
monitor of Benjamin upon the present occasion.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK]

(Frona the Report of the Registrar General.)
The total number of deaths registered in London
in the week that ended on Saturday, Jan. 2, was
1,431, of which 755 were deaths of males, 676
ithose of females. In the 10 years 1847-56 the
average number of deaths in the wee!. s correspond-
ing with last week was 1,288 ; and if, for compari-
son with last week's return, the average is raised
in proportion to the increase of population that
has taken place since the deaths in those years
occurred, it will become 1,417. Hence it appe►rs
that the number of deaths in the present retur❑
differs only to a small extent from the estimated
amount.
The increase in the registered deaths of last week,
as compared with these of the earlier weeks of De-
cember, is not due to increased ►mortality, but to
more than the usual number
.of, deaths on which
inquests had been held having been entered in the
registers last week, many of these in point of time
belonging to former weeks. This usually occurs at
the end of the quer, or.
Diseases of the zymotic or epidemic class were
fatal last week in 224 cases?, the corrected average
of corresponding weeks being 289. Whooping-
cough was decidedly the most fats! of the diseases
in this class ; it rose from 48 and 37 in the two pre-
vious weeks to 57 last week. The next in degree
of fatality was me-isles, which caused 45 deaths ;
typhus (including common fever) carried off 42 per-
sons ; scarlatina, 25 children ; croup, 13. Bron-
chitis (the result. of influenza) continued to be un-
usually fatal. No case of small-pox is recorded ;
one of infantile cholera. Eight persons are returned
whose deaths resulted directly from the excessive
use of intoxicating liquors, besiles those who re-
ceived fatal injuries while in a state of intoxication.
The number of cases in the year 1857 in which in-
temperance had a directly fatal effect was 111, or
rather more on the average than two in a week. It
is further to be observed that the deaths in the re-
gisters of the year ascribed to delirium tremens ex
ceed those referred to intemperance. Four deaths
in the week were caused by carbuncle.
Six nonagenarians are included in the present re-
turn ; one was 90 years of age at death, one 92, twe
93, one 96, and one 97 years. Besides these, a man
in Aldgate was registered at the age of 10.) years.
Last week the births of 1,041 boys and 892 girls,
in all 1,933 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-
56 the average number was 1,437.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.357 in.
The mean daily reading rose above 30 iii. on Tues-
day, 22d ult., and continued above it during the 11
days following. The highest rending of the bate
meter last week was 30'45 in. on We inesday. The
mean temperature of the week was 39.1 deg., which
is 2.1 deg. above the average of the same week in
43 years (as determined by Mr. Gleisher). The
mean daily range of temperature was 11 7 dee. The
highest temperature occurred on Friday, and was
48 deg. ; the lowest was 30.8 deg. on T'►ursday.
The mean dew point temperature was 37.4 deg.,
and the difference between this and the mean air
temperature was 1.7 deg. The mean daily degree
of humidity of the air was 93 ; on Tuesday and
Wednesday the humidity was 99, complet ) satura-
tion being equal to 100. Tile wind blew mostly
from the south-west and south east. The me In
temperature of the water of the Thaines was 45.1
deg. No rain was measured by the guage iu the
week.
