SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YEsTE RDAY.

Paying and receiving on the last day's ruing at
Newmarket did not entirely engage the attention of the
subscribers, several of the Derby favourites having been
more or less in request. As most prominent, we may
select Ides, on whom large sums were laid out at 30, 28.
and 25 to 1 ; his backers numerous and influential.
Anti-Repealer and Miss Whip colt were also in conaider-
able estimation, and many others were fancied, but on
terms agreeing, in the main, with those last quoted from
Newmarket. The general prices at the finish were as
follows :

over Liverpool Race-course, between. Deerslayer, I2st

PRESENTATION OF COLOUILS TO THI BOIS OP THE
ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, GREENwica.—On Saturday, at
two o'clock, the boys of this institution, comprising the
upper and lower schools, amounting in number to eight
hundred pupils, assembled in front of the building im-
mediately adjacent to the Victoria and Albert ship sloop
of war (which has been erected therein for naval prac-
tice), to receive a splendid set of colours (four in
number) as a reward for good conduct and great pro-
gress in their studies. There were present the Go-
vernor, Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, G.C.8., the
Lieutenant-Governor, Rear-Admiral Sir James Gordon,
K.C.8., Lieutenant Rouse, Captain Superintendent of the
schools, Captains Simpson, Wyell, and Garrett, Lieut.
and Adjutant Rivers, and a party of elegantly attired
ladies, Mr. E. Riddell, head master of the nautical
school, Rev. John Hill, head master of the upper school,
and Mr. E. Hughes, head master of the lower school.
The weather being very wet, the Governor directed
Captain Rouse to march the schools to the Painted
Hall, where they assembled at half-past two, preceded
by the excellent little band of the establishment, in full
military order. The Governor, Sir Robert Stopford,
then presented the colours with a suitable and feeling
address, explaining to them the sacred, and honourable
duty which they imposed, and that, should they be called
upon, on some future day, to defend the honour and in-
terests of their country, they would not bo found want-
ing. The Governor explained to them that the Lords of
the Admiralty had directed the colours to be presented
to them as a reward for good service, and zealous atten-
tion to their studies. After the ceremony of poresenting
the colours, the Admiral handed twenty-four silver
medals to as many boys who had distinguished them
selves in their respective duties in gymnastics and school
acquirements. The medals are nearly the size of a
crown piece ; on one side is a portrait of the immortal
Nelson, and on the obverse is the following inscription :
—" Palmam qui meruit ferat—Greenwich Hospital
School." The successful scholars thanked the Gallant
Admiral for the honour conferred upon them, bowed,
and retired. This is the first set of colours presented to
the schools.
MISS BURDETT COUTTS.—I have to-day heard
piece of intelligence which I think will take the general
readers of newspapers, both here and in the country,
with some degree of surprise. It is said that Miss Bur-
dett Coutts has at length fixed on an individual whom to
bless with possession of her hand and immense wealth,
and that the fortunate winner of the golden lady is a
young surgeon, the junior partner of a house in one of
the Burlington-streets.—Private correspondent of the
Hampshire Independent.
