SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPARRING AT THE ROYAL TENNIS COURT.

Bittoon took his benefit yesterday, and we fear it must have
proved a loss. Hardly any of the top-sawyers attended,
and the sport was so-so. Jack Lyons, Col. Lennox, Ned
Murphy and Sam Foote, Scroggins and H. Jones, Alec
Reid and Paddy O'Rafferty, Jens fawn and Adam Dale, all
passed off without anything worth notice. Harry Jones
then had a turn with " a citizen of the east," and cer-
tainly proved himself anything but a bad one, although he
caught nearly as much as he could carry. When Harry
bad nearly "finished," he said many persons wished
that he should fight Dick Curtis. The Pet, however,
would not fight for less than 1001., and Harry said he
could only muster 501. He thelb made a most eloquent
request for some friend to back him for 50/., as he would
sooner fight Dick Curtis than any man in the world.—
(Cheers. )

After some minor bouts, Bittoon set-to with Jem Ward,
made a speech, and the fancy departed.

In our Chancery Report, inserted in yesterday's
in the cause of WOOD C. Wood," the name of the Solicitor
mentioned in the LORD CHANCELLOR'S judgment should
have been PETER WILLIAMSON DCMTILE--DOI DUMBELL.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 14.—T0-day we had a
good supply of Beef, which was in good demand, and met
ready sale at our last quotation. The supply of :Mutton
was also very good, which article met dull sale, at some-
what lower price; Beef, Sid. to 7d. ; Mutton. 61d. to
71d. per lb., sinking the offal.
STAMMERING.—M. MAJENDIE has lately
made an interesting report to the French Academy, tirom,
a commission appointed to take into consideration an ap-
plication from a M. MALBOUCHE, relative to the cure of
stammering. It appears from the report, that a lady of
the name of LEIGH, an inhabitant of New York, who be-
came a widow at the age of thirty-six, was received with
great kindness into the family of a Dr. YATES in that city.
One of Dr. YATES'S daughters, a girl of 18, was violently
afflicted with stammering. Mrs. LEIGH was anxious to
spew her gratitude by endeavouring to diminish this infir-
mity. After having in vain read all the authors on the
subject, she applied herself diligently to the observation of •
the case, made numerous experiments, and at length de-
vised a system of exercising the organs of speech, which
effected a radical cure in the object of her solicitude. She
afterwards tried her system on other stammerers; and
being uniformly successful, she was encouraged to ope:i an
institution at New York for the cure of stammering. [ato
this institution a hundred and fifty stammere: s have been
admitted since the year 1825, and have left it cured.
The time necessary for a complete cure varies; but
its length depends much levy on the inveteracy of the
complaint, than on the energy and turn of mind of
the patient. The longest course of treatment, however,
does not exceed six weeks ; and it is very common to see
the wished-for result obtained in a few days, or even in a
few hours. The inventress of the system, desirous of ex-
tending it to Europe, confided it to M. MALBOUCHE's
brother. By him it was transported to the Netherlands.
A commission was appointed by the KING to examine it.
By this commission a certain number of stammerers were
placed under the care of the brothers MaLaotrcur. They
were almost all cured, and the King of the NETHER-
LANDS conferred upon the brothers a proportionate re-
ward. The s',cret was afterwards purchased by the Go-
vernment : and a distinguished physician was intrusted
with it. for the purpose of curing pauper-stammerers, on
the soie condition that they should not divulge the means
by which they had recovered the free use of their speech.
AI. MAJENDIE proceeds to state that Mrs. LEIGH'S me-
thod is known in England, where several stammerers have
been cured by Dr. HART, of Pall-mall, London. The
report of the French commission closes by describing va-
rious cases of stammering which, under the eye of the
commission, had been successfully treated by Mrs. LEIGH'S
method ; and by lamenting " that the inventor of the sys-
tem, mistaking her real interest, and not sufficiently valu-
ing the happiness of being useful to her fellow-creatures,
had not thought proper to conform to the honourable prac-
tice established in our days, of rendering public every dis-
covery beneficial to humanity."
PANTHER HUNT.— A few weeks since, Mr.
Jong VLIET, living on the Pocono mountain, Northampton
County, discovered the traces of Panthers in his neighbour-
hood. He started in pursuit, and soon came up with them.
However extraordinary it may seem to some of our readers,
who think it astonishing to kill a score of tom tits per day,
Mr. YLIET destroyed three of these ferocious animals in the
space of half an hour, with no other companion than his
rifle. He received twelve dollars for each scalp, making
the whole SG dollars, which is a pretty good half an hour's
work for a hunter of the Poronn,......_Earton Argus.
