SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY.

As usual at this advanced period of the year, the attend-
ance was but scanty, and only the following bets were

DERBY. •
40 to 1 agst 'Viking (taken)
1000 to 20 agst Ticket of Leave (taken)
2000 to 15 agst Lord of the Manor (taken)
30 to 1 was "wanted" about Rainbow.

It appears that the amount of the Egyptian Loan
desired to be raised is about 52,000,000. The negotiations
on the subject, however, have not yet taken any definite
form. The Government interest in the Suez Railway was
recently among the special securities to be tendered.
A woman named Flamand, of the Rue Fondary,
was yesterday tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police
for homicide by, imprudence. On the 31st of last month,
it appeared, she left her own little girl and another, the
daughter of a neighbour, alone in her room, in which was
a lighted stove and a quantity of chemical matches. The
children began playing with the matches and set their
clothes on fire. The neighbours rushed in and extinguished
the flames ; but both children were a good deal burned, and
the daughter of the neighbour so much so that she died
three days after. The tribunal fined the woman 50fr.
AN OCTOGENARIAN BURNT TO DEATH.—Yes-
terday afternoon on inquiry was held at the Duke of York,
Upper York-place, Portland-town, respecting the death of
Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, an elderly widow lady, nearly 80
years of age, residing at 26, Victoria-terrace, St. John's-
wood, who died on Sunday last from the effects of burns
under the following circumstances :—According to the
statement of deceased herself a short time before her death,
it appears that on the day of the accident she had just re-
turned from a walk, and laid her gloves upon the mantel-
piece, against the mirror, preparatory to divesting herself
of cloak, bonnet, &c. Having done so she placed her hand
again on the mantel-piece to put her gloves in her reticule,
when, the room door being open, the current of air wafted
her clothes against the grate, and in a moment she was
enveloped in flames. She instantly threw herself on the
carpet, and Mary Parsons, a woman who attended on her,
gave the alarm, when the landlord of the house rushed up
stairs, and at considerable personal risk extinguished the
fire. A medical gentleman was called in, and deceased was
removed to bed, but she lingered in great pain for several
days. The principal injuries were about the arms, legs,
and face, and other parts of her person were frightfully
burnt. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the
facts which had been stated in evidence.

THE MURDER AT BISHOP BURTON.—Ten men
have now been apprehended on the charge of being con-
cerned in the minder of Jacques, the gamekeeper, on the
estate of Mr. 'Watts, of Bishop Burton, near Beverley, on
the night of the 18th inst. Six of the prisoners have been
examined by the East Riding magistrates, and five of them
remanded, the other being acquitted. Three men are also
in custody in Hull on the same charge, and Mr. Travis, the
stipendiary magistrate, has intimated his intention of com-
pleting the case against them, and then handing them over
to the county magistrates. The last capture is a man
named William Markham, about 24 years of age, who
was appiehended at the house of his brother at Grassby,
near Brigg, Lincolnshire. He had shot marks in his face,
and his waistcoat, coat, and hat were riddled with shot. He
is well known to the police as being connected with poach-
ing transactions, and passed through Hull on the morning
of the murder. He denies that he is seriously implicated
in this case. He has been forwarded to Beverley, to be
examined with the other prisoners there on Saturday next.
Three other suspected men (including the man who dealt
the fatal blow), all notorious poachers, are still at large, but
the police both of the borough and county are rivalling each
other in their exertions to bring the offenders to justice, and
no doubt is entertained that all of them will be apprehended
before long.
