SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

As all the racing influentials will be at Warwick and
Doncaster, the subjoined quotations must be received as
the last that will be published from the Corner on the
Great St. Leger, and, in fact, on any other event, until
after Doncaster races. They will be found to vary in some
respects from those quoted last week ;Tor instance, the fives
to four were laid freely at one time, and at no period of the
day were taken with any spirit. Policy and Fireaway were
at (layers of)10 to 1, and Cabrera at 11 to 1, taken once,
and aft!rwards offered currently. Eboracum and Rosa-
lind were backed for small sums, and 18 to 1 would have
been taken about the Agreeable colt. We did not hear
either of them backed, but the feeling against Seahorse
and Ballinkeele was decidedly hostile. For the Derby
25 to 1 was bet against Philip, 28 and 33 to 1 against 1
Aristides, 1000 to 30 against Napier, and 1000 to 35
against Cotherstone ; offers to take 50 to 1 about A
British Yeoman. The following were the results of a
very dill afternoon :

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

A new zoological dramatic sketch (we copy the
designation from the bills) called The Lion King, was
produced at this theatre last evening, for the express
purpose of introducing the extraordinary performances
of Mr. Carter, with his beautiful collection of lions,
tigers, panthers, and other wild animals. We always
thought the performances of Van Amburgh most ex-
traordinary, but his performances are certainly sur-
passed by those of Mr. Carter. In his first scene,
Mr. Carter is discovered in a reclining attitude on an
elevated platform. The scene represents a forest, and
Mr. Carter personates a sleeping Arab. A tiger
springs upon him they roll together over the platform,
and, when on the stage, after an apparently desperate
struggle, he overcomes the tiger, places a collar round
the animal's neck, attaches a cord to it, forces the
tiger under a tub, and pulls his tail out of the bung-
hole, thus realizing one of the illustrations to Bay-
ley's facetious " Tale of a Tub." He then leads on a
young lion, knocks the tub over, seizes the tiger by
the cord attached to the collar, and leads the two
animals several times round the stage. The docility
of these two animals is quite astonishing. They
jumped upon Carter, fawned upon him, and played
with him as a pet dog plays with his master ; they
seemed quite to enter into the spirit of the per-
formance, and acted their parts admirably. In the
concluding scene Carter enters a cage, in which are a
number of lions, tigers, and panthers. He plays
with them, makes them jump over his
whip, climb the bars of the cage, jump
on his shoulders, lie down with him, roll over
him, and when he leaves the cage leads out the young
lion with him to the front of the stage, where the lion
is bound with garlands by two young ladies, who
each hold one end of this chain of flowers, forming a
tableaux on which the curtain falls. At the conclu-
sion of the piece Carter was loudly called for, and
made his appearance, leading the young lion, the
other hero of the night, to share in the applause.
Thi Lion King was followed by a musical bur-
letta from the pen of Pierce Egan, entitled
Life in Dublin. The dramatis person& of this
piece are our old friends, Tom, Jerry, and Logic,
who have migrated to Dublin in search of fun, frolic,
mirth, whim, and adventure. The Dublin adventures
ace to the full as entertaining as were their London
ones, and as the piece has had a run of three seasons
in Dublin, we conclude that it presents a faithful pic-
ture of life on the banks of the Liffey. The scenery
is excellent, and the Diorama, representing the voyage
to Dublin, is a beautiful work of art. We have, more-
over, a real pony race and a fancy ball, rivalling in
splendour the masqued ball in Gustavus. With such
appliances, it is no wonder that the piece was de-
cidedly successful, and we doubt not but that the
present attractive performances will draw crowded
houses every evening.

PRICE OF BREAD.

Corn is cheap, comparatively, yet bread is dear ;
wheat is down to 555., yet the 41b. loaf costs from
Bd. to 10d., only in some extraordinary cases so
little as 7d. The old indignation against "forestallers
and regraters" is roused.; and the supporters of Peel's
improved Corn-law are especially angry because the
public do not feel how cheap corn is. Everybody says,
something must be done; and those who do not wish
to do anything more to the new Corn-law, wish to do
it all to the bakers. One warm denouncer of their
untimely profits says that we must " ask for the old
paths ;" and hints at an assize of bread. Did that ever
succeed ? Did the imposing of any artificial restraint
on trade ever tend to increase the activity in that
trade, and promote that boundless supply which, in
corn of all things, should be encouraged ? Yet it is
most desirable to secure that the price of the staple ne-
cessary of life should at all times, and without an in-
stant's hindrance, find its natural level. But it is
alleged that the corn-dealers have as much influence
over the retail-trade in bread as the brewers over the
beer-trade; and at all events, the bakers, as in this
instance, hang well together. The price of bread is
consequently too high ; and, proceeding on the com-
mon empirical rule, it is proposed to fix a maximum
price--that is, to lessen the inducements to embark in
the trade, and to neutralize that competition which is
the great public safeguard in our system of commerce.
Common sense dictates an opposite course. If the
trade is obnoxious to certain influences because it
runs in particular channels and is liable to particular
combinations, the way to frustrate such conspiracies
is to break them up by opening it to all. The Corn-
laws are the main reason why the trade is concen-
trated ; all its raw material being collected for cus-
tom-house or registering purposes—gathered into par-
ticular warehouses, and disposed again through cer-
tain channels, by large and easily-managed operations.
The law requires all corn to be brought up to be
reckoned, and the corn-dealers are the agents in that
centralizing operation. Open the trade—let corn
come in on all sides as freely as the sun or the wind
—let it circulate unreckoned and unobserved ; and no
a.ssize of bread would be wanted to fix the price of
the manufactured stuff in a trade divested of all prin-
ciple of centralization.—Spectator.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR—You would greatly oblige me by giving insertion
to the following, or otherwise assist me, as your judg-
ment may suggest.—A young man of the name of James
Nicholson, journeyman tailor, left this place (llebden-
Bridge), about four years ago ; and, notwithstanding
every inquiry, I have not been able to gain any satisfac-
tory intelligence of him. I have just now heard, from a
person in the trade, that a man answering his descrip-
tion, and having two thimbles in his pockets, was found
by two dogs, on the hills between Pontypool and Mei-
thyr-Tydvil, last winter, frozen to death. What gives
_

he statement more weight, he was in the habit of writi-
ng at intervals, when similarly absenting himself. If
to be still living, and should this meet his eye, he need
not be told in what state his relations are on his

aecount. Should you not think proper to insert the
above, by suggesting the means of my ascertaining the
authorities of the place where the individual above re-
ferred to was interred, you will greatly oblige his dis-
consolate brother, E. N.

FUNNELS.—On Sunday night week most of the
vessels lying at the Scotch wharfs on the north side of
the river, in the vicinity of the docks, were boarded by
thieves from the river, and had the copper tops of
their cabin funnels carried oft'. It is reported that no
fewer than fourteen were stolen on the night in question.
It is a matter of considerable surprise that this wholesale
robbery of ships' funnels should have taken place without
the detection of the thieves, and the Thames police are
blamed by the wharfingers and shipmasters for gross
neglect -of duty.

LONDON JOURNAL AND REPERTORY OF

INVENTIONS.

Among the patented inventions of last year,
the most noticeable is that whereby a textile or
fibrous plant, which grows on the coasts of
Spain and the Mediterranean, known to botanists
by the name of " esparto," is to be rendered
convertible into the manufacture of paper, card-
boards, cloth, flax, and cotton. The remaining
patents consist chiefly of improvements rather
than original inventions, and are characterised
by different shades of ability and artisanship.

excess is a fault on the right side, more particu-

ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE,

The emulative and industrious spirit of the Par-
sees is much extolled in the article on "Education
in India." Their seminaries are the best in that
part of the world, and their religious faith fences
them about with none of those restrictive tenets
that beset other Oriental creeds. An account of
four of the leading Arab chiefs, whose territories
skirt the Arabian coast of the present day, forms an
interesting paper; the younger are the warriors,
the elder have subsided into patriarchs. The ex-
traordinary" Formation and Colour of the Clouds"
in India, will remind many a traveller of daz-
zling spectacles beheld in that clime. Abound-

LORD ASHBURTON,

MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY FROM GREAT
BRITAIN, TO THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin—The announcement of the above appointnlent,
or intended appointment, by the present Tory Admi-
nistration, and the cordiality with which it has been ap-
proved by the Morning Chronicle, the Globe, and the
Examiner, the respective organs of the late Whig
Cabinet, have struck with dismay every mind, alive to
the interest of this country and of humanity. It sounds
as the knell of departing freedom. Fur where can we
place our hopes when those on whom we trusted, almost
implicitly, bid us rely—on whom ? On Lord Ash-
burton ! Is he not one of the greatest landowners in
the United States ? Are not his lands, too, exclusively
to be cultivated by negro—that is, by slave labour ?
Was he not, if he be not now, the greatest money jobber
in the world, the largest creditor of American debtors ;
the greatest holder of American securities as they are
falsely called ; the accredited agent (by his dependent
relations) of the Philadelphia United States Bank, of
swindling notoriety ;—in one word, was he not the Bri-
tish Biddle !

On him ! we are told to rely for the equitable adjust-
ment of all our differences with the United States, and
for the effectual suppression of that slave trade by which
alone can immense tracts of lands in Texas and Louisi-
ana, said to belong to him, be brought into immediate
culture ; or the immense claims, public and private,
which he, and those for whom he acts, have on the slave
holding States of America, be redeemed. And is it
come to this, Messrs. of the Morning Chronicle, of the
Globe, and of the Examiner ? Are we to seek for
trustworthy men in the class of renegades to which
Lord Ashburton belongs ? And is it you who advise
us to do this ? Foh, how it stinks ! " Go, Counsellor!
—you and my bosom henceforth shall be twain."
For a set of Tory fundholders who have, at the in-
stance of a wily old fox, been cajoled into lending
money to American planters, to be laid out on the im-
provement of lands, some of which are held by Lord
Ashburton, it is quite natural for them to call upon
him to go and look after his and their interests,
perhaps to save them and himself from bank-
ruptcy. That is a thing to surprise no one,
nor can it be reasonably objected to by any
one who helped to force the present Cabinet into the
counsels of the Queen. The reports of the loans made to
the Americans by the leaders of the Tory faction were
too rife, and too generally believed, to leave to such any
ground of complaint upon this occasion. They knew
their men, and promoted them accordingly. But for
any man, or any set of men professing to feel fur the
distresses of this nation, and affecting to defend to the-
last the cause of justice and of freedom, for them to
join in eulogizing such an appointment, was surely re-
sented for the last extremity of British self-degradation.
From the remarks made in The Sun of last Saturday,

REVENUE RETURNS.

We learn on good authority that the Revenue
returns, to be made up this evening, will show
no inconsideratle increase on the quarter.
s!iould rejoice with all our heart if
we could conceive that this circumstance
was . an indication that the law - caused
sufferings of the people were at an end;
but while they are undiminished, the increase
in the amount of the money levied on them,
only indicates, we fear, the severe manner in
,which the system is carried out.

We have recently publis'acd some communi-.
cations between the Short Time Committee
and two of the Ministers, on the condition of
ouir factory labourers, and the means of hnprov-
inr, it, which must, we think, have commanded
the attention of the public.. However much the
statements of the Committee as to the con-
dition of the factory labourers may be relied
on, no person will suppose that their suggestions
of.legislatie, measures, which will affect not
only thetxln.,i t oke capitalists, who have a con-
flitting interestand the whole of the corn-
-trinity, 'are' 'tVs66ring of 'Elie same confidence.
'Tar be j.t: frvm ~to say that these hard-
working, ,and, we believe, much injured people,
whci:feel eltepieSs4reOf bad laws, do not take as
..,Oear and comprehensive .a: View of the national
interest as .the-. ntonopoli.st Ministers they at-
'tetnpted in vain to' enlighten. Far be it from us
to suppose, that their opinions are not as states-
ruanlikn :anl,,pairbitic as those of the selfish
laufflordsi... but they are not at present in a
pottion to be honoured and obeyed,
their suggestions - are treated as
c'tinttrical by thy MiniSters, and will be treated
iippr wticable. by the community. '' How," it
will lie at ,said, " can such purblind
mortals as those •who have all their lives

armed steam-vessels, constructed on the most scientific
and approVed principles, for active sea-service. To
man this extensive fleet in time of peace there are 23,000
able bodied seamen, 2,000 lads, and 14,000 Royal
Marines. - This number will, however, be greatly aug-
mented, as the-vessels ordered to he put into commission
for China, &c., are to have their full complement of able

NEW YEA R'S-DAY.

The disorder and dissipation consequent upon the ce-
lebration of New Year's-day have, on this occasion,
been of a much more aggravated kind than we had any
reason to expect, both from the reputed growth of
temperance in a large mass of the lower orders, and
also from the want of employment caused by the long-
continued depression in trade. By the stroke of twelve,
however, on Saturday morning the streets were as much
crowded as formerly by parties running on first-footing
errands with bottles and cake. All went on smoothly,
though noisily, till two, when a large body of Irish-
men, principally railway labourers, and amounting, it is
computed, to about three hundred in number, sallied
from the purlieus of the Bridgegate and Saitmarket,
and, with wild bowls, swept the streets like a torrent.
They careered up High-street, knocking down almost
bli they met, and taking the whisky bottles from those
engaged in first-footing, and in the majority of
instances dashing them to the ground. The watchmen
did not expect such a band of barbarians, and isoltved
as the former were in knots of not more than two or
three, any effort to check them at the outset, would
have been as bootless as Dame Partirgton's attempt to
sweep out the Atlantic Ocean. The police immediately
gathered in same strength, and, taking up a position at
Stirling-street made a dash at the Irishmen as they
came thundering along, and captured the ring-leaders.
The others were soon afterwards dispersed. Oa Sa-
turday morning the rioters were placed at the bar of
the Police Court, and punished ; a man named Francis
M'Kennan, being sent to Bridewell for 60 days, and a
nam named Pat. 111`Csbe, for 30 days. The worst
feature in this outrage is, that the great majority of the
Irishmen were what is called tee-totally sober, and must
have proceeded about this unlawful work in a deliberate
spirit of reckless malice.—Glasgow Paper.

Here the hunte; '.hem with their

As the King e: ;ports to eery
anger, lie expe, Look pa. _hem to do the
same. When the dogs had seized the game, the most
resolute of the hunters would hold the hog fast by the
ears till the King came up and despatched it. No boar-
hunt took place without some narrow escapes. One of
the most singular of these adventures befel Major Hank,
of the Grenadier Guard. At one of the hunts in Po-
merania, he had attacked a large boar, when his spear
broke off short in his hand. The enragel beast ran
furiously at him, and Haak escaped the sharp tusks of
the boar only by spreading out his legs like the Colossus
of Rhodes, and letting the nssailant run beta een them.
This rnanwatire was but partially successful ; the boar
fairly carried oil" the Major upon his back, and, immi-
nently dangerous as was his situation, seated with l.is
face towards the brute's tail, and holding fast by the
latter, :till the company couid not refrain from a burst
of laughter. The boar, with his rider bawling for help,
made straight towards Lieutenant Colonel Munehow.
This officer, hastening to the relief of his friend, aimed
a thrust with his spear at the animal's side, and hit the
Major in the calf of the kg. Dogs and huntsmen at
last came up, and dtl.vered the rider from his dangerous
position. The King also'hastened to the spot, and, as
Haak was a great favourite with him, it was agreed not
to say a word to him about Munchow's awkwardness,—.

Forty convicts for a penal colony, as also those for
Van Diemen's Land, were embarked on board the Isa-

LAW AND POLICE.
At the Thames Police Court Archibald Leslie, a
Scotchman, about thirty years of age, of respectable ap-
pearance and good address, was committed to take his
trial for defrauding Michael Henry Hart, a Jew slop-
seller, of 201. in goods and cash, by means of a forged
order, partly written and partly printed, purporting. to
be an award in favour of William Bouch, by the British
and Portuguese Mixed Commission, for his services
during the war of liberation in Portugal.
William Robinson was also committed to Newgate, on
the charge of administering oxalic acid to his wife in the
town of Greenwich on Christmas eve. It did not appear
that the unfortunate woman had taken any of the poison,
but as she was dying of consumption her deposition was
taken' by the Magistrate.
• At Union-hall on Monday William Yates, a man ad-
vanced inyears, was brought before Mr. Traill, charged
with obtaining various sums of money by means of forged
cheques, from several charitable institutions, amongst
which were those of the Magdalen Hospital, the London
Asylum for the Protection of Young Females, the Found-
ling Hospital, and the Seamen's Hospital. He was soon
recognized by Mr. Knevit, the Secretary to the Mendi-
city Society, as a notorious begging letter-writer, who
had been discharged from gaol only about a week before
he changed his made of doing basiness." After one
case had been proved against him, [he forging of the
name of Sir H. Fletcher, of Ashley Park, Walton-on-
Thames, he was. remanded for a week.
