SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The betting about the two favourites was rendered
more exciting than usual by the efforts of the opposing
parties to obtain the call. For a long time, this was so
near a thing that we should have hesitated to say which
had the best of it, and it was not until near the close
that the feeling became so decidedly favourable to Ratan
that we feel ourselves perfectly justified in returning him
first favourite. It will allay the apprehensions of those
who stand on the horse when we add that Mr. Crockford,
who has been seriously ill for some days past, was an-
nounced to be much better. Tho Orlando movement
turns out to have been a flash iii the pan-7 to 1 taken
on Sunday, and 12 to 1 offered yesterday to no
purpose. Leander again took a wide range, 12
to 1 and 20 to 1 being the two extremes;
we have averaged him at 14 to 1, but do not
pledge ourselves to its being his exact price. Akbaf
and Running Rein as before, and Bay Momus at 18 to
1, an improvement arising out of a considerable outlay,
at 20 to 1. (Mr. Crockford has sent in an objeetion to
Running Rein ; no time has been fixed for going into
the case.) 30 to I was laid once against lonian, 1,000
to 25 agst Dawson's lot, 3,000 to 100 agst Forth's lot,
bar Leader (40 to 1 afterwards off. red), 1,000 to 10 each
agst Mainstay, Telemachus and Campanero, and 1,000
to 25 agst Beaufront, Beaumont, Croton Oil, and
Mainstay.
The following was posted in the Subscription Room:—
" As several remarks have been made relative to my
declaration as to Foig-a-Ballagh not starting for the
Derby, for the satisfaction of his backers I beg to say,
that on Saturday last I went to Mitchell Grove, and
having seen the horse, found him amiss, as stated to me
by Mr. Forth, with whose conduct I am fully satisfied.
" Monday, May 1, 1844." E. J. IRWIN."
We give the date as it appears in the original ; Mr.
Irwin, however, having written the letter, evidently
meant the 20th of May.

Sir James Duke still continues unable to attend
to his Parliamentary duties from severe indisposition,
which confines him to his room at Brighton.
The Earl of Stamford has contributed the sum of
100 guineas towards the fund for improving the Cathedral
Church of the diocese of Chester. The Dean of Chester has
subscribed 1001. for the same purpose.
The General Steam Navigation Company's mail
steam-ship Neptune arrived off the Tower, at eleven o'clock
last night, with the Hamburgh mail, after a rapid passage

THE DISCONTINUANCE OF DIVINE SERVICE AT
ST. PAUL'S.—On Saturday morning the following notice was
placed at the doors of the above cathedral, that " From and
after this day (Saturday, the 18th) Divine service will be dis-
continued (Sundays excepted) until further notice."
THE MURDERER CROUCH.—William Crouch, who
was found guilty at the last sitting of the Central
Criminal Court of murdering h's wife, Elizabeth
Frances Crouch, in Marylebone, and sentenced by Mr.
Baron Alderson to be hanged, will expiate his crime on
the scaffold in front of Newgate, on Monday next, at
eight o'clock should the Sheriffs Rot receive any contrary
directions previous to that day from the Home
Secretary. The wretched man since his conviction has
been watched night and day by two turnkeys, and has
been repeatedly visited by Messrs. Musgrove and Moon,
the Sheriffs, and the chaplain of the gaol, by whom he
has been supplied with religious publications, and has
evinced his consciousness of the enormity of his offence.
Some exertions have been made to obtain a commuta-
tion of the extreme penalty of the law, but up to yes-
terday there was nothing known to the Civic authorities
to justify the remotest hope that the sentence would not
be fully carried into execution.
To INVALIDS.—In cases of indigestion, loss of ap-
petite, and general debility, even where the muscular
power is lost, and it is vain to expect relief from medi-
cine, the highly nutritious essence of turtle cannot be
too strongly recommended; it infuses fresh life to the
body, and thereby affords nature an opportunity of ex-
ercising all her powers to overcome the disease. It also
makes a tureen of mock turtle not distinguishable from
the real, at one-tenth the usual expense; and with game,
poultry, and made dishes, it is infinitely more delicious
than anything that ever yet appeared on an English
table. Prepared solely by M. De 13arre, many years cook
to his late Majesty Louis XVIII., 26, Nassau-street,
Middlesex Hospital, and sold by Mrs. Lawton, 8, Rath-
bone-place, price 4s. 6d., Bs., and 215.; the 51. cases con-
tain six guinea bottles.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]--A WONDERFUL CURE or AN
OLD SEA CAPTAIN'S BAD LEG, BY HOLLOWAY'S OINT-
MENT AND PlLLs.—Captain James, of the brig Amity,
lying at Limehouse, was lately cured of a bad leg of
fifteen years stansling., in which there were twenty ul-
cers. He had previously been laid up at home on
crutches for two years. To make the matter worse, he
was nearly eaten up with scurvy, which the pills, how-
ever, soon eradicated from the blood. Soldiers and
sailors find these medicines the finest remedy in the
world, as they heal all ulcers and wounds, while the pills
remove every scorbutic humour and impurity from the
blood.—Sold at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis); and by
almost all respectable Chemists throughout the civilised
world.
