SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK.

The attenuated condition of a list that on its first ap-
pearance in " outline " looked very much like " business,"
is partly ascribed to the unpopularity of the handicap
for the Suffolk Stakes, and partly to the excessive hard-
ness of the ground, which naturally disinclines trainers
to risk horses that already are, or will be, engaged at
Gorhambury, Epsom, or Ascot. A suspicion that the
mighty promise on paper would come to nothing, coupled
with the announcement that Oakley's matches with
Emma and St. Lawrence were off, sufficiently explains
why the attendance on the Heath this afternoon was so
small, and leads us to anticipate that although, a race of
some kind may be knocked up. for Thursday, the meet-
ing, as far as the public are interested, will terminate
to-morrow. The sport this afternoon will speak for
itself.

COLONEL STODDART AND
CAPTAIN CONOLLY.

Captain Grover has received letters from Dr. Wolff,
dated from the 12th to the 15th April, 1844. The first
was written at Mero, which now belongs to Bokhara,
and the last was written in the desert distant only three
clays' journey from the capital.
Dr. Wolff says—" I advance confidently towards
Bokhara, and, if the King does not stop me, in three
days I shall be in the capital."
The Doctor has received great kiticihesii froth the
Khaleefa Abd Arrahmaii, Who is described as the
spiritual guide of the King of Bokhara, and is dig-
nified with the title of Majesty, "He has
me," writes the Doctor, " letters to the King of
Bokhara, and tells me posititiei# that Stoddiirt
'alive, Ctinokt not quite certain. No public exe-
cution had taken place of either of them l I am his
;nest ; he has just now entered my room (this Weis at
Nlore), and showed me a letter he has written to the
King of Bokhara, stating that it is of the highest im-
portance that Stoddart and Conolly should be given uli
to me, and reparation made to England for the insult,
and not to keep me longer than three days, This letter
will be dispatched by an express Tiircoinauti, and will
reach Bokhara before tne, His Majesty also sends with
me one of his own relations to introduce me properly to
the King of Bokhara. His Majesty also desired me to
express to the Queen his ardent desire to become a sin-
cere friend of the British nation,"
. .

Dr. Wolff ekpreSs-WriliTaignation in strong terms
against Colonel Stoddart's confidential agent at Meshed,
who had intercepted the eorreSpondence with Bokhttra,
and is thankittl that Colonel Shiel had forwarded Cap
tain Oro% er's letters by an express messengers He says I
" Had Muhammed Ali fietarify Stodttart't tigent, received
them, the rascal would have kept them." The Doctor
concludes: "I cannot write much for the Turcomauns
sit near me on the ground •-• • you must not expect
long letters, for I write in a stealthylnvntieri"
Sir Robert Peel haqo+ tlit'esteu Captain Grover to
communicate to him " the last accounts that had been
received from Dr:, Wolff; relative to Colonel StOddart
and CaptainCOnolly ;.' the 'move extracts were sent ,in
Thursday last, the day Dr. Wolff's letters arrived ; they
were communicated at the same time to Lord Aberdeen
and to the Military Secretary.
Captain Grover thinks it right to state, in justice to
his absent friend, Colonel Stoddart, that among the nu-
merous letters and journals of Dr. Wolff, there is not the
slightest hint or insinuation that the Colonel had become
a Al ahomedan.

Many changes of stations are about to be made
among the staff officers of pensioners in the United Kingdom.
We believe that in the London district there are to be six
captains and a field officer, and that at all the largestations—
Edinburgh, Dublin, &c.--field•officers will be nominated.
There is now little doubt that Government has determined
on making the pensioners a most effective little army of re-
serve,—Watral azvi Military Gazette.

The King of the French, accompanied by General Duros-
nel, Colonel Dumas, and the Count de Strada, paid a visit to
Saint Cloud on Thursday afternoon, but returned to Neuilly
to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received the
Turkish Ambassador, the Minister of Wurtemburg, the Duke
d'lstrie, General Jacqueminot, and M. de Lahaye Jousselin. •
According to one of the journals, his Majesty will speedily
set out for the Palace of Eu, to examine the works that have
been executed there lately.
The Prince de Joinville, says the Moniteur, being obliged
to proceed to the coast of Morocco, wrote, before his depar-
ture, to Vice-Admiral Leblanc to express his regret at not
being able this year to visit Rochfort a second time, as he
had promised.

" ft would appear," says the Constitutionnel, "that all the
Powers are to have a naval force on the coasts of Morocco.
Orders have been sent from Turin to Cagliari, that the Sar-
dinian squadron should set sail fur Tangiers."
A letter from Toulon, of the 25th, states that no news had
arrived there from Algeria since the dispatches of the 20th.
A communication received at that period contains the intel-
ligence that Abd-el-Kader had been named Khalifat of the
eastern part of the kingdom of Morocco, and that the Arabs
subject to France were busily employed in getting in their
crops, through fear of some razzia.
News has been received at Trieste, from Corfu, stating that
forty Italian refugees, among whom were D. Moro and the
brothers Bandiera, naval officers, embarked in the night of
the 12th, in a Neapolitan or Roman vessel, with the intent
of landing on some point on the coast of Italy. It was be-
lieved that they had steered their course towards the coast of
Calabria.

The Aug.sburgh Gazette states, from Goritz, that the Duke
de Bordeaux has notified to the Courts of Europe his deter-
mination to retain the title of Count de Chambord. This is
said to be tor the purpose of avoiding the alternative of ac-
cepting or refusing the title of King of France, which his
party has given to him since the death of the Duke
d'Angouleme.
At Paris, on Friday, ten condemned criminals were exposed
in the pillory, on the Place du Palais de Justice. Amongst
them was a man named Barrois, who has been sentenced to
imprisonment for life, with hard labour, for the murder of his
wife.

An Amsterdam letter announces tl,e landing of the machine

From Venice we learn that the works on the railroad, be-
tween that city and Milan, are being carried perseveringly on,
and that the Government has just allowed the importation of
400 tons of English iron at half the imposed duty.
So abject is the condition in which the State pensioners of
Spain are left, that an old colonel on the retired list, who
lived at Tarragona, died lately in such destitution, that his
body received the interment of a pauper.

LoNDOV, TUESDAI, JULY 2. 1844.

In the Lords, the Sugars Duties Bill was read a

second time.

In answer to a question from the LORD CHAN-
criLoR, Lord CAMPBELL said he would move the
third reading of the Libel Bill this day.

A discussion took place on the motion for the third
reading of the Bishoprics of St. Asaph and Bangor
Bill, during which the Duke of NEWCASTLE in-
formed the LORD CHANCELLOR that he had been
guilty of an unworthy manoeuvre to get rid of the
Bill.' The third reading was consequently postponed,
and tube Bill was referred to a Select Committee.

-In the Commons, after the presentation of peti-
tions, Mr:. BRIGHT put a question, of which he had
given noti.?.e, to Sir JAMES GRA RAM, whether he had
any objection to lay before the House the corres-
pondence whirl: had taken place between the Lord-
Lieutenant of Lancashire and the Government, re-
lative to raising 8 new corps of yeomanry for the
southern division of that county. Sir JAMES GRAHAM
did.not state whether the correspondence would be
Produced but intimated that the application for
raising a body of yeomanry in the neighbourhood of
Rochdale had been communicated to the Earl of
DERBY,•who had no objection to it, and her MAJESTY
h :d accepted their services.
-In answer to a question from Lord PALMERSTON,
relative to the occurrences which had taken place in
Morocco, Sir ROBERT PEEL said her Majesty's Go-
vernment had given such directions as they thought
necessary to insure full information, independent of
foreign Powers, and to protect British interests.

Mr. Ross gave notice that on Friday next he
would move for all papers and correspondence rela-
tive to the re-appointment of Mr. O'DaiscoLL to the
magistracy in Ireland.

Sir ROBERT PEEL gave an outline of the business
for the remainder of the session, which will be found
briefly stated in the Parliamentary report. It will be
seen, from this, that a vast number of Bills are yet to
be carried, or attempted to be carried, and that the
grouse shooter's- have little chance of being able to
attoncl to their duties in Parliament.
The Irish Registration Bill then formed a subject
for lengthened cwwersation. Sir ROBERT PEEL had
intimated that he would move the second reading,
solely for the purpose of discussing the measure, but
as every E.peaker seemed to be against him, he gave

up the Bill for the session. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE had
the merit of quashing this dastardly attempt, first
broached by Lord STANLEY, to diminish the Irish

PRIVATE BILLS.

The Duke of RICHMOND complained of the renewal,
this session, of the practice of canvassing Peers on the
subject af private Bills. He thought they ought to adopt
a resolution upon the subject, condemnatory of the
practice.

Lord BROUGHAM was glad his Noble Friend had
alluded to the subject. He thought it was an insult to a
Peer to be canvassed on a private Bill.
The Elrl of SHAF rEsBURY said he fully concurred
in what had fallen from the Noble Duke.

standing that the. discussion would come on, on the third

After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, the Bill

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As the steamer Duchess of Kent was coming
out of Ramsgate Harbour, yesterday, about one, she ran
foul of the brig Concord, which was entering between
the pier-heads at the moment. The brig's starboard
main-channels were carried away, and, not being able to
come to the wind, she ran stem on the western pier, and
shattered her bowsprit
to splinters. In the first in-
stance the fault !ay with the brig, in not wearing when
she saw the steamer coming out ; but I cannot help
thinking that the collision with the steamer might have
been avoided by reversing the engines, which was not
attempted. The second collision, I think, would have
taken place under any circumstances, from the way the
i brig came n, though the wind was by no means un-
favourable. Those on board the brig appeared quite
paralysed, and thotigh instructions were shouted from the
pier-head, no notice was taker& of them. I was informed
that the vessel, on a former voyage, ran against the
same pier. Your obedient servant,

July 1.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT
(Before the COM.MoN.•SEnGEANT.)
James Neale, aged 13, and Mary Ann Neale, aged 22, were
charged, Mary Ann with stealing a gold watch, value 221.,
the property of Joseph Vivian, and James with receiving the
same, well knowing it to have been stolen.
The prisoners were in the service of the prosecutor. The
watch was lost, and the prisoners were afterwards found
offering it for sale in Petticoat-lane.
The jury found them both Guilty, and they were sentenced,
the boy to three months' imprisonment, and the female to
one years' imprisonment.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Two young men, named Passon and Martin, were charged
with refusing to perform the work assigned them in the 11°1-
born union workhouse.
It appeared from the evidence that, on the previous night,
the prisoners were admitted as casual poor, and, having re-
ceived their bed and breakfast, refused to work four hours at
picking oakum, according to the provisions of the Act of
Parliament, and not only refused, but used the vilest lan-
guage, and threw two bundles of wood at. the taskmaster.
They were likewise most impudent .to Mr. Wilkes, the re-
lieving-officer.
The, prisoners attempted to show that the workhouse-
porter, Barlow, had been insolent towards them, but this ac-
cusation they altogether failed in substantiating.
Martin was sentenced to five days, and Passon to fourteen
days' imprisonment.

THE ESTABLISHED TEA MARKET, upon
Ludgate-bill, No, 8 ; SIDNEY and HALL .Proprietors.—A
further FALL of TWOPENCE to FOURPENCE per Pound upon
TEAS and COFFE • :S.

We have this day lowered Coffees 2d. to 4d. per lb., In consequence
of the reduced duties upon Foreign Coffees corning into operation. In

the sale of the finest qualities ofCoffees, we have long stood pre-emi-
nent as the largest purchasers in the port of London. We are now
enabled to quote the very choicest quality at a price attainable by all
classes of society.
The nobility, families, and large consumers of Teas and Coffees,
are invited to compare the quality and prices of all goods sold at this
Establishment with those of any other house in the metropolis. The
best selected qualities have invariably distinguished Sidney and Hall,
and their present extensive sale enables them to sell at prices which
can only be equalled by the largest wholesale houses.
As merchants and importers of Teas direct from China, and the
proprietors of several extensive businesses in London and the largest
provincial towns, Sidney and Hall flatter themselves that they pos-
sess facilities for really cheap selling, which few can lay claim to,
and enable them to state most confidently that their establishment
shall maintain its character, as being one of the first and cheapest in
London.

The importation of Tea is, this season, of unusually good quality;

the quantity is also considerably larger than for many previous years,
and the anticipation of still larger shipments has had the effect of
lowering prices almost to a level with the lowest period in the history
of the tea market. ildney and Hall have therefore much satisfaction
in announcing a revised scale of prices, and, confident of superior
value, they invite comparison, as tke most :convincing proof of
cheapness and confidence.
