SPORTING NOTES.

A BATCH OF ANTICIPATIONS.
Racing men will quite enjoy their daily ride
through the pleasant glides and over the breezy
downs, to and from the picturesque course at
Stockbridge. The sport will be just sufficient to
excite interest and qualify curiosity, without fa-
tiguing the spectator ; whilst the absence of all
crowd and noise will render the proceedings
doubly pleasant. To morrow will be devoted
to the equestrian exploits of the members of
the Bibury Club, and they wilt agreeably inau-
gurate the sport in the South. The only event on
which I shall " advise," as the Tipotus have it,
shall be the Champagne Stakes, which seems likely
to be won by Marionette.

It has been remarked, with truth, that the list
for the Stockbridge meeting seems like a large slice
cut out of a Goodwood programme. Certes on
Thursday a rare day's sport will be afforded, and
it is a significant proof of the popularity of the
Stockbridge meeting, that horses from the far
North are rent to contest its stakes. On Sunday
morning early I met George Abdale seated on the
van which contained Ignoramus, en route to the
Waterloo Station. Th© Triennial Stakes for four-
year-olds will be won by Anton. Beadsman ought
to carry off the Triennial Stakes for three-year-
olds ; and the Triennial for two-year-olds may go
to either Bouquet or St. Clarence. The Stock-
bridge Derby I shall assign to Eclipse ; and the
Mottisfoat to Actaeon.

The Steward's Plate is likely to afford a most in-
teresting encounter ; and Fisherman will, perhaps,
a second time encounter Sedbury, and he will also
have to try his strength against Ignoramus. Should
Fisherman have Wells up, I shall not be amongst
his opponents.
Northern turfites will have quite a jolly meeting
at Beverley. The sport commences to-morrow,
and will be brought to a conclusion on Thursday.
The list contains 13 items.

A FRESH MAN.

TATTERSALLSI-YESTERDAY.

the early past of the afternoon as usual at this period
of the year, was occupied is settling accounts. Herne
supplanted Underhand as first favourite for the Nor-
thumberland Plate. At first Bto 1 was laid against the
latter, whilst 5 to 1 was offered against Herne ; at last,
however, 6 to 1 was the highest offer against Underhand.
For the Goodwood Stakes, Harry Bluff was at the
close as good a favourite as Rosati, who receded from
100 to Btol4 to 1. Offers were made to back Harry
Bluff for an even 100 against anything.
The horses in most request for the Derby were Mujid,
Ticket-of-Leave, Balnamoon, and Electric. Closing

AQUATICS.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR 60/.—A scullers' race, though
by no means an Exciting one, came off yesterday for the
above amount, over the Metropolitan course. from Put-
ney to Mortlake. The competitors were Thomas Can•
non, of Wapping, and George Wade, of Ratcliffe, both
well known to fame ; and, that the contest might be
witnessed, the Venus had been chartered, and was full.
The conditions were that Cannon should have two
lengths' start, Wade having defeated him a short time
ago ; and the distance having been measured, they took
up their stations at Putney, Cannon winning the Mid-
dlesex side. They presumed the distance for 200 yards,
when Wade began to come up, and soon went by him,
but at the end of a mile Cannon was again ahead, soon
after which they fouled, but, continuing to row, Cannon
went right away, and came in first by a long distance.
No dec;sion with respect to the funds has been come to,
the referee reserving it.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £5O A-SIDE.—The match
between Robert Bain, of Lambeth, and B. Oxlade, of
St. Paul's-wharf, takes place on Thursday, June 24.
B )th men are in excellent condition—Bain being under
the care of George Driver, and Ozlade under H.
Salter. The Vanua steamer is hired for the occasion.
The betting is in favour of Oxiade, the other being a
landsman, and his first appearance as a sculler.

The Marchioness of Waterford, shortly after her lady-
ship arrived in town from the Continent, left to join the
noble marquis at his seat in Ireland.
Baroness Adolphe de Rothschild has arrived at
Claridge's Hotel, from Naples.
Hamburg advices state that money finds more em-
ployment, and tharthere is a tendency to a revival of
commercial activity.
MESMERIC INFIRMARY.—In our report of the meeting
on Saturday last, an error occurred as to the time Jas.
Chi rebid, who was cured of paralysis, was under treat-
ment. It was etated to have been three mouths ; it
should have been one month!
BITE OF A VIPER AT HAMPSTEAD.—Yesterday, Mts.
Hoxwell, of Park-street, Regent's-park, was walking in
the fields in company with some friends at West-end,
Hampstead, when sitting down upon the grass she was
bitten by a viper that lay there concealed. The reptile
was k I:ed. Mrs. Hex Nell was taken with all baste to
the nearest surgeon's, who applied the usual remedies,
and she was removed to her residerice, but is nut ex-
pected to survive.
THE MURDER NEAR NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.—Two
lengthened investigations were held on Wednesday and
Thursday, into the circumstances of the murder of Jane
Kayne, at St. Anthony's, NewcaAle-an-Tyne, on Sun-
day morning, the 30. h ult. The following men were
charged with being concerned in the murder :—Joseph
Johnson, Andrew Bertram, ,Tas. Cameron, and John
Sloane. The magiAratee determined to commit them
all to the town assizes to take their trials upon the
charge of wilful reuider.
ACCIDENT TO MR. WILLIAM COOKE, JUN.—On Thurs-
day evening, in the spectacle entited "The White Pal-
freY,” Mr. Cooke'e steed had to fall wounded at the
report of a pi,tol, when the horse pranced too high, and
fed with the rider's leg under him, the ankla being se-
verely hurt. Mr. Cooke west through the performance
wi:h some difficulty, and, we regret to say, he hrs not
since been able to leave his moue—Era-
FREEDOM OF M.P.'s FROM ARREST.—A bill of Mr.
Hunt, M P., Mr. fie t, M.P., and Mr. Knighilsy,
M.P., ale fishes freedom from arrest or iniprieoninent in
the case of members of Parliament, upon the judgment,
rule, order, or decree of any court of competent jurisdic-
tion. The privilege of freedom from arrest is rather un-
certain in cases of a dissolution of Parliament. An at-
tempt was made at the general election of 1847 to ar-
rest Mr. W. S. B ackstone, the ex-member for Walling
ford, on the hustings ; and in the same year Mr. T. S.
Duncombe, the member for Finsbury, was actually ar-
rested on a judgment debt in Yorkshire, after hie elec-
tion, and temporarily incarcerated in a.debtors' prison,
from which, however, he was released by a judge's order
in chambers, on the strength of a well-known dictum of
Blackstone, which the Court of Queen's Bench, on ap-
peal, declined to disturb or dispute.
