SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The betting did not commence in earnest until four o'clock,
and even then was not remarkable either for its briskness or
for its effects on the prices. We may observe, however, that
11 and 12 to 1 %sere laid outright against Chatham, 10 to 1 in
conjunction with other horses, and that the feeling towards
hint was far from favourable. Wiseacre was also in the shade,
30 and 33 to 1 having been betted three or four times, followed
by offers to go on. Palinurus was in high favour, at 1,000 to
15, taken two or three dozen times, but did not advance.
The Dirce colt, Mr. Batson's Acacia colt, and Mr. Forth's lot
wet e supported with some show of spirit, and may be looked
upon as rising favourites. We have no other changes to record.

DISTRESS IN THE MANUFAC-
TURING DISTRICTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The corn-lords and their supporters deny the exist-
ence of extreme distress in the manufacturing districts. I
only wish that those who doubt the truth of statements of
ruined tradesmen and starving operatives, had to earn their
living in my calling. For many years I have been on the
road, but never did I see and feel so much misery (on trading
accounts) as Ido now. Since the beginning of this year I
have gone through Lancashire and Yorkshire, and find the
prostration of business really " awful." I cannot collet my
accounts, and orders (from those likely to pay) are dwindled to
almost nothing. The chief topic of conversation in this
neighbourhood is the probability of a hearty union between
the middle and lower classes. It is the general belief that Sir
Robert Peel, in the last fortnight, has made more Chartists
than Feargus O'Connor has done in all his life time.
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,

COURT OF COMMON COUNClL.—Yesterday a Court
was held fi r the purpose especially of taking into consideration the
report from the Secondaries and City Courts Committee relative to
the Judges of the Sheriff's Court. The Court was crowded, the sub-
ject having excited great interest and emulation. After the motion
of Mr. Cope, seconded by Sir Peter Laurie, the Hall-keeper was
ordered to pay 101. from the Corporation funds for the
temporary relief of a poor labourer who was injured that
morning by a fall while he was at work in the GuildhalL
Mr. Richard Taylor then moved that the Report of the Committee
appointed to inquire whether two Judges or one should be appointed
for the Sheriff's Court, be confirmed. The Report recommended
that only one Judge be appointed, with a salary of 8001. a year.
A lengthened discussion took place, when the Report was confirmed
by a majority of 27, there being for the motion 80, against it, 53.
