SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The three favourites and Paint Brush monopolised nearly
the whole of the business transacted yesterday afternoon ; the
commissions, however, were numerous and hot, and the layers"
so few and timid, that very little money was laid out. Of
the select lot specified, Lord Stradbroke's filly was the least
in demand. Had the odds quoted against either of the others
been offered against either of the others to " a sum," they
would have been taken. A few bets were laid in small
amounts on the Cambridgeshire Stakes, and a couple of bets
on.,,the Derby, at the prices given underneath.

We understand that the race for the -Cesarewitch Stake at
Newmarket, on Tuesday next, will be run not earlier than
half-past one, nor later than half-past two, in order to accom-
modate gentlemen wishing to leave London by the half-past
nine o'clock train and to return to dinner.

We hear that the North Cove-hall estate,situate on
the high road from Beccles to Lowestoffe, consisting of a
mansion and several farms, the whole comprising about 920
acres of land, -which, it will be remembered, was put up to
auction by Mr. W. W. Simpson in August last, has been re-
cently disposed of to the Rev. Thomas Farr for 40,0501., by

private contract.
Tux CRESCENT AND THE CROSS.—We are no
surprised to find that a third edition of Mr. Warburton's
work has already been required by the public. Of recent
books of Eastern travel it is generally allowed to be the best,
and it has met with an unprecedentedly favourable reception
at the hands of the critics, beginning with the Quarterly Re-
view itself. "Nothing but the already overdone topics (ob-
serves the Spectator) prevents Mr. Warburton's Eastern
sketches from rivalling Eothen in variety : in the mixture
of story with anecdote, information, and impression it per-
haps surpasses it. Innumerable passages of force, vivacity,
or humour, are to be found in the volumes." " Mr. Warbur-
ton (says the Britannia) brings to his work an accomplished
mind and well-trained and healthful faculties. We are proud
to claim him as a countryman, and are content that his book
shall go all the world over,' that other countries may derive
a just impression of our national character."
[ADVERTISEMENT.]--Railway Advertisements will
have the greatest publicity in the Observes, they being inserted
in both London and Country Editions at one charge.—Observer
Office,l7o, Strand.
CORK AND DUBLIN DIRECT RAILWAY.—(From a
Correspondent.)--We observe that the directors of the Cork
and Fermoy Direct line are about to extend their operations
towards Clonmel, thus completing, in connexion with other
railways, a direct crow line between the two principal cities
of Ireland, and, by the junction with the Waterford and
Limerick Company's line, opening up at the same time a
rapid communication between Cork and Waterford. Apart
from the grander objects to be accomplishedtby this exten-
sion, and which will involve the transfer of a vast portion
of the trade, both of Waterford and Dublin with Cork to
this railway, the local trade of Clonmel is, perhaps, not ex-
ceeded by that of any interior town in Ireland. The country
from Clogheen, Cahir, and Clonmel, is studded with mills.
There are six powerful mills in and near Clogheen, five power-
ful mills in and near Cahir, and numerous mills in and about
Clonmel. These mills have a good water power, and are
worked by very wealthy men. All the mills are principally
supplied at present from Thurles and Cashel; but it is ob-
vious that the formation of a line between Fermoy and
Clonmel will open up- a new and valuable source of supply •,
and were the line made also to connect Cashel, Cahir, and
Thurles, a still greater development of the immense agricul-
tural resources of the district would ensue.
COUNT RIES AGAIN.—A German, calling himself
Julius Ries, has been several times examined on a charge of
obtaining 11 from Mr. Edlin, landlord of the Bull Hotel, on
false pretences. The fellow, who is of by no means an
imposing appearance, came to the Bull and represented
that his luggage would soon follow him, and that a horse
was also on its way from London for his service, and he
engaged a loose box for the hypothetical animal. He
described Messrs. Robarts and Curtis as his bankers, and
said that in a day or two he should receive a remittance
from them; meantime desired Mr. Edlin to lend him a
sovereign, which was done. In order to deceive the land-
lord, he addressed a blank sheet of paper to Messrs. Robarts,
inclosing a card on which was the address of some Spanish
Marquis. After living at the Bull for a week, and incurring
a debt of nearly M., Mr. Edlin gave him into custody, and in-
quiries were subsequently made respecting him. Of course
all his representations turned out to be entirely false, and it
appeared that lie bad been pursuing a similar course of swin-
dling and plunder in London and elsewhere, for a long time.
In May last the prisoner, who then called himself "Count
Ries," was tried at Windsor on a charge of swindling, in a
similar mariner, Mr. Chater, of the Castle Hotel, and ac-
quitted, through an informality in the indictment. He is a
7g short, sallow-faced individual, about th rty-five years old,
wears a wig, and has very much the appearance of a low ad-
venturer. On Monday last he was again examined before
the magistrates at the police-court, and committed for trial
to the sessions.—Camin•idge Advertiser.
TuE LOCUSTS.—Several vessels which have recently,
arrived report having seen large fields of grasshoppers or lo-
custs off the Western Islands. By comparing the different
accounts, it appears that these insects extended over an area
of 600 mile square. Captain Madignan, of the ship Hercules,
from Odessa, fell in with them in long. 16, lat. 36, and sailed
in the midst of them, from east to west, for 500 or 600 miles,
leaving them only at the distance of 1,000 miles from land.
Mr. J. G. Hurd, a passenger on board the ship Sylvanus
Jenkins, from Trieste, gives the same account to us, and adds
that there were great numbers of the locusts in the air as
well as in the water, and that fa- several days they had many
of them on the masts and sails of the slip. They were drift-
ing about upon the water, sometimes in broad fields, and at
others in long windrows, as seaweed is often seen on the out-
• side of the Gulf Stream. The impression of all the gentlemen
is that they had been blown off from the coast of Africa.—

the Honourable Charles' ClLiffror7,.e—ldeTsthseon of
MAURIAGE IN H
ormarriagedlifforodf,
_ of Chudleigh, with the Honourable Agnes Petre, daughter of Lord
_ and Lady Petre, was celebrated on the 30th ult., at Thorndou
- Hall, by the Rev. Joseph Lidden, private chaplain to Lord Petre.
- The bride was accompanied to she altar by her sister, the Hon.
- Charlotte Petry, arid the Hon. Miss Clifford, who acted as bride-
- maids. There were present at the ceremony, besides the parent
of tho bride, Lord Clifford, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thomas
Clifford and Miss L. Clifford, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Petre, the
Hon. Charles and Francis Petre, Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Douglas,
- the Honourables Frederick, Arthur, Edmund, and Albert Petre,
the Hon. Mr. and the Misses Neave, and Sheffield Neave, Esq.,
and a select circle of the noble families of Petre and Clifford. After
the ceremony a magnificent dejeuner was served in the grand
- saloon, of which Viscountess Maynard, Sir Ralph Howard, Mr.
- and the Hon. Mrs. Neave, and a distinguished party of upwards of
' 60 persons partook.—Ssiffelk Herald.
A SCENE IN COURT.—" I call on you," said the
counsellor, " to state distinctly upon what authority you are pre-
- pared to swear to the mare's age ?"—" Upon what authority?" said
- the other, interrogatively.—" You are to reply, and not to repeat
the questions put to you."—" I doesn't consider a man's bound
to answer a question afore he's time to turn it into his mind."—
- " Nothing can be more simple, sir, than the question put.
animall again
- repeat it. Upon what authority do you swear to the 's
- age ?"--" The best authority," responded the witness gruffly."—
- " Then why such evasion ? Why not state it at once ?"—" Well,
- then, if you must have it."—" Must I I will have it," vociferated
the counsellor, interrupting the witness."—" Well, then, if you
- must and will have it," rejoined the ostler, with im-
- perurbable gravity," why, then, I had it myself from the mare's
- own mouth." A simultaneous burst of laughter rang through the
Court.—Land Sharks and Sea Gulls.
A BOY KILLED BY A HORSE.—On Wednesday
- -
evening last a shocking accident occurred to a poor boy named
- Williams. Between five and six o'clock he was sent on an errand,
- and while passing along Worcester. street the Wonder coach drove
- by. He ran after it, and in the eagerness of his efforts to over-
_
take it he came in contact with a horse that was drawing one of Mr.
2 Shipton's waggons, and was knocked down, the horse treading
- upon his head, and inflicting some dreadful fractures, before he
- could be rescued. From the frightful nature of the injuries he
received, little hopes were entertained of his recovery, and he
died on Sunday night.— Wolverhampton Chronicle.
THE WROUGHT NAIL TRADE.—The workmen of
this trade, upwards of fifteen thousand, made a stand last week for
an advance of ten per cent. upon their wages. Messrs. Caddick,
of Coseley, at once told their workmen they would give it them,
and that they must not stand a single hour. Messrs. Caddick paid
them the advance cos Saturday last ; and stated they hoped in a
short time to be able to give a further advance. The whole of
the workmen were highly pleased with the kind spirit in which
this prompt concession was made.—Wolverhampton Chronicle.
It is a curious fact that there are now einployed in
the establishment of Mr. Cubitt, the engineer, persons of the
name of Inch, Yard-ly, Furlong, and Miles, and they are all sup-
porters of the " League" to a certain degree.—Liverpool Journal,
One of the manufacturing firms of Sheffield, apolo-,
glsing to a customer for not having completed an order, attributes
it to the injurious effects which he affirms are resulting to the trade
from the railway pleasure trips and •
now so frequently
indulged in. gspsy parties
