this matter I have something to say which I think
will spare any further investii ation into the charge
before you. The defendants, as you will no doubt
recollect, were charged tivitl L an assault on Mr.
Davis, and after having hilt 1 communication with
my learned friend Mr. Mete a lfe, lam authorised by
all the defendants to say the y sincerely regret they
should have given way to su 3 h an ebullition of tem-
per on account of any matte r c which Mr. Davis had
a right to complain of. Th a y were sorry that any-
thing unfriendly should b .ve taken place, and in
perfect sincer3ty and good f kith. they desire to apolo-
gise for what has occurred. lam instructed to say
that Mr. Wyld, the prop le tor of the Alhambra,
has unlimited confidence in the defendants. The
affray occurred in cons equ atm?, of something believed
to have been said by Mr. Davis. The defendants,
in good faith, retract avyt hing they might have said
against Mr. Davis; ant t I hope that my learned
friend, Mr. Metcalfe, oft the part of Mr. Davis,
will, with equal good faith, withdraw any-
th'ng he may have said against them. I
attend for four of the d e fendants, Messrs. Wyld,
Butcher. and Bartleman, and Mrs. Hart ; and my
friend Mr. Ocridge for t. icy other defendant. He
will no doubt concur in wb .t I have said, and you
will, I trust, feel that this LS' a happy termination
to a case that ought neve r to have come to this
court.
Mr. 0 rridge, for Mr. Lai 'orest, said all that Mr.
Sleigh had alleged on beha' Lf of his clients applied
to the party for whom he appeared. His client,
who felt that he laboured u ender an unjust imputa-
tion, was, in a moment of e. s citement, betrayed into
conduct which he now regr, a tted, and for which he
now tendered an apology to, Mr. Davis.
Mr. Metcalfe, who spoke very indistinctly, was
understood to say that the a pology now made was
quite satisfactory to Mr. D t ivis. Mr. Wyld, sen.,
had interposed, and, acting as a friend to both par-
ties, had accommodated rnt i tters in a way satisfac-
tory to both sides. Of coui,t3e there was an end to
the proceedings.
Mr. Sleigh—Although m learned friend has not
referred to one point, to the personal matters
against the defendants, I to lee it for granted that,
on behalf of his client, My.. Davis, he withdraws
them ?
Mr. Metcalfe—Oh, eertal nly ; the imputations
are quite withdrawn.
Mr. Beadon—Then I dim iss the complaint, and
I heartily wish that all such. squabbles had such an
amicable end.

SPORTING INT ELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALLS'- -YESTERDAY.

The important settling upon the past week's racing at
Newmarket, as was anticipated, ;attracted a large attendance
of subscribers, among whom we noticed many of the prin-
cipal members of the "upper ten thousand;" who, although
fortune favoured the bookmakers', evinced on this occasion a
commendable spirit of punctuali, ty in meeting their engage-
ments, which was justly apprecit kted by all interested. The
business of paying and receivinf ; occupied the attention of
the majority present until a late hour, when speculation for
the Cambridgeshire was occasionally mentioned, but no ,
thing was done, beyond a disposition to follow Mr. Beville's
great success by supporting Ilertham Lass, but layers were
shy, and 0 to 2 we imagine would represent her price. Half
a point more would have found a host of supporters. The
Roo was nominally at 11 to 1, and Asteroid at 12 to 1 was
occasionally backed. The only other movement connected
with the afternoon's performances, so far as the Cambridge-
shire is concerned, was the retrogression of Camerino to 25
to 1 offered, and the retirement of Doefoot from 30 to 1,
frequently taken at the opening of the rooms, to 10 points
more at the close, which was freely advanced by those who,
it appeared, had received an intimation of Colonel Towne •
lay's filly having met with an accident. The transactions
upon the other animals enumerated in our "price current"
must be taken as nominal ; in fact, with the exception of
an eagerness to be on " the favourite," we noticed no dis-
position to invest upon anything in the race.

BETTING AT MANCIIESTER..—MONDAY.
There is but little doing on the Cambridgeshire. The
favourite at one time was rather shaky, as 5 to 1 was very
frPPly offered. Camerino's price was 25 to 1 (taken and
offered), and Doefoot receded to 50 to 1 (offered). The Roe
and Asteroid maintain their former positions. The Wizard,
about whom on Saturday 1,000 to 10 was asked for, was
supported to-day down to 40 to 1, but that price was also
offered, and towards the finish 40 to 1 was asked for against
either Donner and Blitz or Rameses, but the offers stopped
at 33 to 1. For the Roxburgh Handicap Doofoot appeared
likely to be a favourite, but offers against her were so freely
made that it is hardly probable she will put in an appear-
ance. Closing prices :

FOOT RACE BETWEEN DEERFOOT AND JONES.
The inclosed pedestrian ground at Old Brompton was
crowded on Monday afternoon with a vast assemblage of
spectators, who mustered to witness the four miles running
match between Deerfoot, the Seneca Indian, and W. Jones,
of Islington, for a stake of £5O. The successes of Deerfoot
in this country fully entitle him to the pride of place
which he seems destined to hold for some time to come.
W. Jones, who has been before the public these two years,
has run several times during the present year with various
success. From the fact of Jones being a good deal faster
than the old American Deer in his trials, and also that the
first four miles in his late race with Barker were completed
in 20 minutes 23 seconds, which is 39 seconds less than
Deerfoot's time on Monday week, great interest was excited
upon this event, on the result of which large sums of
money were speculated at odds in favour of Deerfoot, as
much as 2to 1 being laid in some instances. At 20 minutes
past four the men made their appearance on the ground,
Deerfoot being attended by C. Mower, and Jones by J.
Cummins. The usual "Are you ready ?" followed im-
mediately by the word " Go," having been given, they
started away at a clipping pace, the Indian at once dash-
ing to the fore and cutting out the running at a fine
pace, but on going round the bottom turn Jones wrested
the lead from him, but did not hold it long, for at the
finish of the first lap Deerfoot was again in the front, lead-
ing by barely a yard. In this position they raced round
the next lap, at the finish of which they were strictly level.
During the next round the Redskin again got the lead, and
maintained it during the sth and 6th laps. Cuuunins now
called on Jones to take the lead, which, on rounding for
the ith time, he held by three yards, and held it till nearly
the 9th lap, when they passed and repassed each other
twice, Deerfoot again getting a slight lead, and so they
continued racing to the 15th lap, each alternately having
a slight lead, and making the pace as severe as he could,
in order to cut down the other. At the end of the
15th lap Jones, who was barely a yard in the rear, fell ex-
hausted in the arms of Mr. Roberts, leaving the Indian to
run the last rituirter of a mile by himself, which ho did at
slightly diminished speed, doing the entire distance in 20
minutes 10 seconds.
