SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S (MONDAY,)

The Derby horses were knocked about is a perplexing
manner„ and so sudden and rapid were the changes,
that it was with great difficulty that we are enabled
to compile a correct price current. The most important
incident was the advance of Tournament, who it was re-
ported bail been most satisfactorily tried. Early in the
afternoon 12 to 1 to about 7001. was taken about him ;
after wards a slight reaction set in, and 13 to 1, 14 to 1,
and 15 to 1 were laid ; at the close, however, he was de-
cidedly firm at 11 to 1 taken freely ; 7 to 1 was iffered
against Skirmisher without Effect, but a point higher odds
would have commanded backers ; 9 to 1 was repeatedly
taken about Arsenal, but it was also currently offered
throughout the afternoon ; 11 to 1 was laid against An-
ton to 501.; 10 to 1 might have been obtained without
difficulty. The odds against M.D. fluctuated between
15 to 1 and 100 to 8, the latter price being, perhaps, his
correct quotation. Sprig of Shillelagh was steady ;he
was not, however, backed for a very large sum ; the last
bet about him was 1000 to 80 ; 1000 to 55 was taken
three times about Lady Hawthorn. Birdin-the-Hand
was friendless ; 20 to 1 was currently offered against
him, and, indeed, we believe layers might have been
found who would have accommodated hackers at any
price between 100 to 5 and 100 to 3 -"SO to 1 was laid
once agst Adamas, but subsequently 25 to 1 was taken.
Saunterer made a further retrogression, 20 to 1, 22 to 1,
and finally 25 to 1 were laid against him ; 1000 to 15
was betted five times against Lambourn; 1000 to 4 and
6000 to 30 were laid against Newton-le-Willows. The
other transactions do not require comment.

Suroinne—Yesterday morning Mr. Bedford, coroner
fer Westminster, held a painful inquiry at the Two
Brewers Tavern, Jermyn-street, St. James's into the
circumstances connected with the death of Captain John
Brown, aged 59 years, late of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusi-
tiers, and a member of the Junior United Service Club,
who committed self•destruction by shooting himself with
a revolver at his residence, 8, Charles-street, St. James's-
square, on Friday afternoon last. The jury returned
the following verdict :—" That the deceased destroyed
his own life by shooting himself with a pistol when in a
state of temporary mental derangement?' The proceed.
ings, which were attended by a large number of de-
ceased's friends, including several of his late brother
officers, then terminated.
FIEWING EXTRAORDINARY.—The Perthshire Courier
relates the following :—A party fishing, a few days ago,
hooked with a fly a large trout, which, at the first spring,
went away with a fine gut cast line and three flies in it.
The same individual fishing further up the water on the
afternoon of the same day, with bait, found his hook
come in contact with something unmanageable at the
bottom of the water, and on drawing his line his astonish-
ment was great to see a fine gut line come up with three
trouts attached to it. The tither immediately recogl-
nised the cast off gut he had lost in the morning, and
could only account for three trouts being on it by sup-
posing that the one he hooked in the morning, in
moving through the water, had attracted two of its
brethren ; or, in other words. had gone fishing for them.
Such another instance is perhaps not on record. Never
on the Eden has there been a worse season, the strong
easterly winds off St. Andrews' Bay and the dry weather
preventing good takes.
