SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

Paying and receiving on the last day's racing at
Newmarket did not entirely engage the attention of th 4
subscribers, several of the Derby favourites having been
more or less in request. As most prominent., we ma)
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 consider-
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

ALLEGED IMPROPER REMOVAL OF A HOSPITAL
PATlENT.—Yesterday, Mr. Wakley held an inquest on
the body of a man on whom amputation bad been per-
formed in St. George's Hospital. The stump did not,
however, heal, and his health going back, Mr. Cutler.
the surgeon, suggested that deceased should be removed
from the Fitzwilliam-ward to another ward in which
there were not so many beds, and where he would have
more air, but the deceased preferred being taken home
to his own lodgings at Notting-hill, where he said he
should have plenty of air, and he was conveyed thither
by his wife in a cab on Saturday, the 26th ult. On the
Monday. following he was there visited by Mr. Cutler,
and during the remaining days of his life also by other
medical officers of the hospital ; but be continued to
sink, and died on Thursday last. His wife admitted
that it was at his request that she had removed him
from the hospital, and that he had made no complaint
whatever of the treatment he had received there. Dr.
Barnes, of Notting-hill, who bad, by order of the Co
roner, made a post mortem examination of the body, de-
posed to the death having been the effect of the accident,
and the Coroner and jury declaring that there was no
cause whatever for the allegations that had been made as
to the improper removal from the hospital, a verdict of
" Accidental death " was returned. Mr. Barry, the master
of the decased, who, the widow said, had allowed her
12s. per week for six weeks of the time her husband was
in the hospital, promised before the jury to give her 51.,
and to assist her otherwise as much as lay in his power,
which the Coroner and jury said was most handsome
conduct on his part.
WELSH CATTLE Fem.—Since our last report,
there have been three fairs severally at Newcastle
Emlyn, at Narberth, and Abergwilly, at all of which a
large quantity of cattle was offered, but the buyers
were far from being as numerous as they generally are
at this time of the year. Notwithstanding, however, a
great many two-years-old cattle were sold, but at very
low prices. One of the buyers for the English fairs
(Mr. Thomas Jones, of Tanner's Hall, Landovery)
turned out a splendid lot of three and four-years-old
oxen from the different fairs, at unusually low rates.
Yearling cattle were not much sought for, as our farmers
are, one and all, so badly off for winter fodder. Good
horses were in demand, both for saddle and for drawing,
at fair prices. Colts and inferior horses were not,
neglected. Pigs have advanced in price, from 10 to 12
per cent. since the early part of September last. Yu
sheep, no alteration can be quoted; prime ones, fit for
immediate slaughtering being in good demand, at from
425. to 48s. per cwt., to sink the offal. Very few
butchers from Swansea and Llanelly have attended our
last fairs, consequently the best fat beasts were mostly
driven home unsold.— Washman.

FATAL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.—On Sunday
night a workman had been drinking with some acquaint-
ances until 12 o'clock, when, finding himself much in-
toxicated and incapable of proceeding home, he went to
his employer's residence in Short's-gardens and re-
quested permission to lie down in the workshop& until
morning, which was granted. Next morning one of the
apprentices discovered the unfortunate man lyir‘g at the
foot of the stairs quite dead, from a dislocation of the
neck, he having fallen from the second flight of steps to
the bottom. He has left a widow and family to dc-.lore
thitinelailuholy 'sweat.

Our readers, no doubt, recollect an anecdote which
went the round of the papers, some few weeks since,
of a gentleman who advertised for a respectable
widow as a housekeeper, and who directed personal
application to be made at his residence on a certain
day and at a certain hour. When the hour arrived
the street was crowded with widows of all ages and
descriptions, struggling to gain his door. The tho-
roughfare was impassable. It was in vain that the
unhappy gentleman addressed the sable throng from
the window, and told them he was engaged, and at
length the police was sent for to clear the street
vi et armis. This anecdote has been the foundation
of an exceedingly clever and amusing original
(and we print the word in italics as something re-
markable) dramatic sketch, which was produced at
this theatre last evening with the most complete success.
Frank Mathews represented the unfortunate advertiser.
Mr. Pimony Codlums, an old bachelor, who having
tried boarding-houses and lodging-houses, and been
victimized in all of them, has taken a house, started
an establishment, and, finding himself plundered by
his aerrants, advertises for a widow as housekeeper.
His agony at the consequences of his advertisement
was exceedingly amusing—the street, to use the
words of his servant, was " like the enclosure in Lei-
cester-square, full of weeds," and cabs were conti-
nually setting down fresh shoals of widows round the
corner, when the unfortunate Codlums, after having
in vain attempted to make a speech from the window,
is rescued from his dilemma by his nephew, who in-
troduces to him a widow as his future housekeeper,
and disperses the throng by telling them that his
uncle is engaged. The lady thus introduced
is the nephew's wife, whom he has mar-
ried clandestinely, who so winds herself around
the old bachelor's heart, that he forgives them, and
takes them to live with him, warning others not to
follow their example, which warning he gives as his
advice To Persons about to Marry. Frank Mathews
was exceedingly humorous as the old bachelor, and
Miss Arden, as the niece, looked quite fascinating in
her widow's cap, and acted very gracefully. The dia-
logue is cleverly written, and abounds in excellent
hits. Altogether, this is a very agreeable trifle. It
was received throughout with shouts of laughter, and
at the conclusion the applause was loud and long-con-
tinued. The house was crowded.
