SPORTING INT E LLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S- MONDAY.

Subscribers had not many inducements to muster in
large numbers at the corn?r. The past week's accounts
were not very heavy, the wea•her was most unpropitious,
and there was little expectation of the betting being par-
ticularly brisk. Several of the principal turfites, too,
bad betaken themselves to Newmarket, and altogether
the numbers of backers of horses was perceptibly dimi-
nished.

M. Dobler was still in great demand for the Cesare-
witch, but the principal outlay in his favour took place
in the City in the morning, where he was backed at 7 to
1, odds which were currently offered against hi:n this
afternoon.

The operation® on the Cambridgeshire were not very
moortant. After 16 to 1 bad been taken abotft Whist-

ling Willie, 20 to 1 was offered ; and 'from 25 to 1
Madlle. de Chantilly receded to 1,000 to SO,- laid several
times.

The betting on the Eastern Counties Handicap was
unsettled, and the investments wer3 in small sums
only.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A JOCKEY.

MONMOUTH, Sept. 26.—W. Bryan was cha'ged before
the borough magistrates this day, by Mr. Evans, the
owner of Van Eyck, "for that he did maliciously set on
fire the box or stall which contained Van Eyck, for the
purpose of injuring the horse." Bryan rode Blue Bell
for Mr. Evans at the Chippenham Races, at during the
race Lis leg came in con,act with one of the flagstaffs,
which dismounted him, and placed the mare hors decom-
bat. On Bryan applying for bis fee on Friday night, Mr.
Evans, thinking that through the boy's carelessness his
mare hal 100 the race, refused to give him anything, on
which it is alleged that Bryan remarked, "Then I will
do something for you." Bryan, and a lad named Walley,
had had the charge of Mr. Southby's horses Leo and Cira
Fatima, for whom each of them. had ricden in the course
of the meeting. These horses were located at the Angel,
as were Van Eyck and Blue Bell. All four horses were
in adjoining boxes. Mr. Southby's were separated from
Mr. Evans's by a strong partition, with a gangway
through, but which was stopped up by an old nailed-up
door, at the top and bottom, and at the side of which
were apertures. Bryan and Walley got up early on. Sa-
turday morning to prepare their horses for the journey
homewards; they used a candle in the stable, as it was
dark. As \Valley, according to his statement on oath,
was leading Cata Fatima out of the stable, Bryan called
nis attention to a fire in the next box, Van Eyck's, and
he went and looked through the crevices and saw the
stable in flames. The boys did not give any alarm, but
proceeded to make their escape, with their horses, from
the impending danger; immediately afterwards one of the
horseke.epers of the establishment discovered the firer
gave the alarm, broke open the door (Van Eyck',), and
then saw the poor horse in the midst of the fire, which
was raging tearfully around him, from his heels to his
nostrils. The horse was rescued as soon as possible.
Deacon, the man who had charge of Mr. Evans's horses,
was in bed at the tin e ; he had done them up the night
before, and retired to rest, taking the key of the stable
