SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S, AMY 13.

Several of the principal speculator" were here yesterday after-
noon, and some engagements were made on the St. Leger Stakes;
the odds, however, did not vary in any important degree from the
last accounts received from Newmarket. At the sporting houses
in the west some bets have been made on the Preston Cup, but
Doctor Fax:lotus has, .of course
_gone back, in consequence of hav-
ing been beat there on Tuesdi:y. The only bets of consequence
were, S to 1 on the field for the St. Leier (on condition of 1.-iing
9. to 'I apt Bedlaniite), and 3 to '1 agst Lugborough for the
Gloucestershire Stakes at Cheltenham.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.
NEWMARICEP, THURSDAY NIGHT.
The July Meeetiug terminated this afternoon, and we are eon-
strained to admit that it has not afforded no much or such rood
sport as could have been wished.; and that the company has been
less numerous than at past meetings. The state of the weather,
unfavourable for horse-racing, has, in some degree operated against
these, as well as other races ; but many other MMUS may be
quoted for the non-attendance of a great number of our usual vi-
sitors : amongst Which, as the most powerful, we may state the
lamented indisposition of his Royal Highness the Duke of York;
the imperative necessity of attending contested elections, with
their various consequent engagements ; also the occurrence of
Preston and other races at the same times ; besides other causes
which it would be'superfluous to mention.
It would be unjust not to state, that the most liberal spirit has
pervaded all those who were here, the greatest anxiety being ma-
nifested to make the sport as attractive as possible.

From the' meagre appearance of the list this morning, few gave
themselves the trduble to visit the Heath ; so that, in a very short
time after the Sweepstakes were decided, the town was emptied,
as if by magic. Not a strange face is now to be seen, so few are
the inducements to remain here out of race-time ; for, in fact,
Newmarket, taken per as, is the reverse of attractive.
The Noblemen and Gentlemen on the Course were, Lords Low-
ther, Anson, Orford, Cavendish, Bentinck ; General Grosvenor,
Colonel Udny, Captain Hunter, Mr. Greville, and some few
others ; and, of general company, about a tithe of those who at-
tended on Monday and Tuesday.
The betting, both last night and this morning, was that in the
extreme; it was confined to a few homes on the St. Leger, Pres-
ton Cup, and Gloucestershire (Cheltenham) stakes. For the
Cupt !..ongwaist was not backed, as it was said that he would
not start.—The odds stand thus :

GLOIICESTIMSIIIICE STAETS.
5 to 2 agst Lugborough I 7 to 2 apt 81takspiare
6 tot agst Toil and Trouble.

ST. LEGER.
112 to 1 apt Crusader

20 to 1 agst any other.
