SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
The report forwarded from the Heath contained all
the particulars that a very insignificant day's sport was
worthy of ; it also gave an intimation of the great im-
provement of Bay Momus in the Derby betting, and of
the advance of Lancet to 40 to 1. The evening betting
made nu alteration in the odds against the first, but gave
the other another lift. Orlando was also in force, the
offers against him, after several bets at 25 to 1, having
dropped five points. Offers to take sto 2 about Ratan,
and 9 to 2 about the Ugly Buck, but no business done.
1,000 to 20 was taken about Loadstone, and 1,000 to 15,
twelve times, at least, about Lord G. Bentinck's lot. In
most other respects the odds, which are taken at mid-
night, agree with those quoted in our last.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR.—Is it possible that our landed aristocracy can
read the distressing cases (which are continually appear-
ing in your columns) of the death of shirtmakers and
others by starvation? When we reflect that by our
corn-laws their few miserable pence, gained by the
severest exertions, are still further reduced for the main-
taining in splendour those who ought, and were in-
tended by Providence to be, their natural protectors, we
see, alas! that, instead of the rich feeding and clothing
the hungry and naked, the: poor, in all their heart-
rending poverty, compelled to contribute to those who
are running over with the good things of this life.
Continue, Sir, your exertions for the wiping away
from our country so foul a stain, and I feel convinced
that, ere long, the nation will arise in its strength, and
demand, with a voice not to be resisted, the repeal of a
starving and unjust Corn-law.—Yours, respectfully,
A READER OF " THE SUN."
