SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The Cambridgeshire betting was more than usually brisk,
taking its character, however, from the number of horses
backed rather than from the actual amount of business
transacted. For instance, out of the twenty-eight horses
quoted underneath. and all inure or less fancied in the course
of the afternoon, the following were not at all in demand. at
the close .—Croton Oil, Cobweb colt, Clumsy, Lothario, Yard-
ley. Needful, Mongrel, Titmouse, Rowena, Everton, Lady
Semiseria, Devil's Dust, Lyons, Secundus, Stamp,
Ironmaster, Young Lochinvar, and Example. The "lions"
were The Baron, Alarm, Wolf-dog, Chertsey,,Ould Ireland,
Flattery, and Best Bower.- The Irish crack, notwithstarding
his owner's declaration on Monday, was backed at 5 to 1,9 to
2, and finally at 4 to 1, eagerly ; Alarm at 10, 9, and 8 to I.in

Flattery and Best Bower.came late in the day at 50 to I, and
left off " great pots" at 33 to 1. Wolf-dog was not backed
for much money, but was steady at 8 to I, layers; he is now
at Newmarket. We give the latest prices.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon an in-
quest was taken by Mr. Baker, at the Prince of Wales,
Tottenham, on view of the body of Mr. W. Glover, aged 54,
coach-builder, Tottenham, who was knocked down by a
horse on Sunday evening last while he was going to church,
by which he received such severe injuries that caused his
death. Verdict—" Accidental death.

HORRIBLE BARBARITY.— Yesterday information
was circulated amongst the metropolitan police, that on the
night of the 12th or 13th instant some monster in human
shape cut out the tongue of a bay mare, the property of J. J.
Wilson, Esq., whilst it was feeding in the Anyham field,
near the Canal-bridge, Kendal. And on the night of the
15th instant some person (probably the same) set fire to a
warp in a loom in a workshop near the Castle-mill Kendal,
and whiCh was also the property of lgr. Wilson, 1001. reward
has been offered for the apprehension of the offender.
THE BI.TER BlT.—Last Tuesday, as some bird•

SMUGGLING.—The party,_ or foreigner, who arrived
a few days since by the Antwerp steamer, and who had his
portmanteau and the whole of its contents seized by the
revenue officers, for having a quantity of tobacco concealed
under a false bottom ingeniously fixed in the package, has
since made an appeal for the restoration of the wearing
apparel, &c., which was contained therein, being in humble
circumstances, and being engaged to work for a considerable
period in this country, which has been refused, on the
ground that an intention of defrauding the revenuewas quite
evident. The package, with the whole of the conter•ts, has,
therefore, been directed to be dealt with according to law,
and the party himself also proceeded against for the penalties
which he has incurred.
ROBBERY OF Two GOLD WATCHES.—On Tues-
day a notorious character, named Anne Bullen, was brought
before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having stolen two gold
watches, of the value of 50/., and four sovereigns, the pro-

. peared that the prosecutor was asleep in a bouse of ques-
tionable character, near Williamsori-square,' Oh" Monday
/tat, and 'while the prisoner, who had entered the bed--
room, was in the act of rifling his pockets of the watches
and money, be awoke and gave the alarm. She threw one

last, in the village of East Waldren, the floor of the Methodist
chapel fell in. There was a meeting for the purpose of con-
sidering the plan of erecting a new chapel, the present build-
ing being in a dilapidated state. During the proceedings a
crash was heard, and a considerable portion of the flooring
suddenly gave way, precipitating a number of persons into
the cellars under. Several were extricated with fractured
limbs and other serious injuries. Unfortunately two persons
were killed, namely, Mr. Joseph Sandon, of Stoke Marsh,
farmer, and a young man named Patterson, an assistant to
Mr. 'William Jones, draper of Waldren. The bodies of the
unfi rtunate men were found jammed between the wood of the
flooring and the brickwork of the cellar, and crushed in a
shocking manner.

CHAIR OF RHETORIC.—W. E. Aytoun, Esq., Ad-
vocate, has been appointed to this professorship, and his in-
duction to the office will take place without delay. Mr. Ay-
toun's talents and acquirements are of no common kind, and

the higher order of periodical literature, which he has culti-
vated with distinguished success.—Ediriburgh Post.
SENTENCE ON JovELL.—Yesterday (Tuesday)
Benjamin Jovell, a well-known blackleg in this town and

SEIZURE OF Two ILLICIT STILLS, AT ENFIELD.—
Yesterday, at a Petty Sessions, held before Mr. Williams, jun.
(Chairman), and Mr. 'Williams, sen., at Enfield. James 'Wil-
lie, who described himself as a labourer, was brought up, in
the custody of the police of the N division, on a charge of
having been found in the possession of two illicit stills, which
were at work at the time. The stills were erected in an old
mill, at Turner's end, and which was nearly surrounded by
several moats, being also in a very secluded spot. it ap-
peared from the evidence, that on Monday morning last,
about seven o'clock,- in consequence of information received
by Inspector Mellish, of the N division, from police-constab'e
Hannant, N 325, he went to Turner's-end, accompanied by
sergeants Harrison, Watkins, and Emery, with Peter Mann,
an excise officer. He proceeded to a cottage, adjoining the
mill, having first stationed his men in front and at the back
of the premises. When finding that there was some one at
work inside the mill, he burst open the door with a log of
wood. He rushed in, followed by his assistant, and discovered
the prisoner by a still, in which was a large quantity of mo-
lasses. They then proceeded to search the interior of the
mill, upon which they discovered another still, both being
able to contain 40 gallons each. They also found 500 gallons
of wash, 150 gallons of yeast, between 5 and 6 cwt. of mo •
lasses, 14 tubs, some of them capable of holding 100 gallons, a
quantity of aquafortis, several casks, bladders, &c. ; and the
prisoner stated that the profits from the stills were about 201
a day. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, was fined in a
penalty of 30/., which he paid. The stills were provided with
water from the moat, and there was a running stream into
which the wash was allowed to escape after distillation.
THE PARISH OF ST. .LURE, CHELSEA.—At a
vestry meeting of the ratepayers, recently held in St. Luke's,
Chelsea, for the purpose of laying before them the late order
of the Poor-law Commissioners, for including that parish in
the North-Western Metropolitan Asylum District, against
which very strong resolutions were unanimously come to, a
committee was appointed to draw up memorials to Sir J.
Graham and the Poor-law Commissioners, praying that the
parish might be exemped from the order. Memorials ac-
cordingly have been prepared, and the one to the Home Se-
cretary, in the space of a few days only, was signed by
'1,087 ratepayers, including several of the magistrates, all
the parochial officers, and the most influential inhabitant.
of the parish, and was on Thursday forwarded to the
Home-office.
HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION, &C., BROMPTON.—
On Thursday evening a meeting of governors and directors
this charity took place at the board-room, Chelsea. John
Forbes, Esq., M.D., F.R.S., &c., in the chair. The usual
routine business having been attended to, and resolutions
passed relating to the ventilation of the wards 'of the hos-
pital, it was stated that, among other donations, the Misses
Carbonelle had forwarded the sum of sixty guineas in aid of
the funds of the Institution.
BENEVOLENT FISHMONGERS' AND POULTERERS SO .
CIETY.—A meeting was held last night at Anderton's Hotel,
of the friends and subscribers to this, Institution,- for the pur-
pose of receiving the proposals of the Committee of Manage-
ment with respect to the construction of an asylum, the funds
of the Society being at the present moment sufficiently large
for'the purpose. The Society was instituted in 1835, several
resolutions were proposed to the meeting' and unanimously
adopted. They empowed the Committee to purchase a site
of ,ground at Wood-green, near Tottenham and Hornsey, re-
presented as being perfectly suited with respect to size, price,
&c., for the construction of an asylum for twenty-four aged
an infirm members of the two trades; also to collect plans
and estimates, &c., from which to select several, and lay
them before a subsequent general meeting. The Committee
were also empowered to alter the by-laws of the Institution
as its altered circumstances might render necessary. Thanks
were were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting,
which was numerous and very respectable, was then adjourned.
Francis Brothers, Esq., who for fifty years has
filled the arduous office of collector of the Canterbury Excise
department, has retired from office, and is succeeded by John
Lewis, Esq., of London.

WINDSOR ELECTION.—The voters who are sup-
posed to be likely to be influenced at the forthcoming elec-
tion, by their connexion with the Castle, as royal tradesmen,
have just received an intimation that they are at perfect
liberty to vote as they please, as there is not the most remote
wish, on the part of an illustrious personage, that they should
be in any way interfered with.
DARING BURGLARIES AND ROBBERIRS.—On Thurs-
day information was forwarded to the Metropolitan and City
police of the following daring burglaries and robberies, viz.:
—About midnight, on the 18th inst., three men, disguised in
white masks, &c., and armed with bludgeons, broke into the
dwelling house of John Hall, Esq., of Keeloy, near Caistor,
Lincolnshire, and stole therefrom two 5/. notes of the Old
Lincoln Bank, a 51. note of the Lincoln and Lindsey Bank,
several other local notes, and two silver watches. Mr, Hall
has offered a reward of 50/. for the apprehension and convic-
tion of the offenders. On the night of the 13th instant the
was broken into and a quantity of plate
dwelling-house of Thomas Holloway, Esq., of Midsomer Nor-
tong
stolen.

THE WEATHER, &c.— We regret we can announce
no improvement in the state of the weather since our last,
with the exception of Wednesday, which was a fine breezy
day, and set many to operations in the field; but in the
course of the night rain fell heavily, and has continued since
with but little intermission. A great deal of grain still re-
mains in secure and uncut on high lands, and unless an early
change in the weather occurs, a great quantity will be car-
ried in unfit for use. The fresh winds and cold state of the
air, will, we think, prevent any sprouting in what has been
stacked. Gathering of the stock of potatoes has com-
menced here, and every one is satisfied with the abund-
ance and quality. In Inverness they are now selling at
16s per boll, while here we can report no very material rise.
We think, however, this advance in the price of potatoes is
only temporary, and cannot be maintained unless the reports
are realised of extensive shipments being made to those

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE REGISTRATION.--rThe re-
vision of the list of voters for the Southern Division of the

county of Stafford is now completed, and the results are such
as the most sanguine Free Traders were not prepared to anti.
cipate—such, in fact, as to justify the opinion that should an
election take place on the present register, two Free Traders
would be returned to Parliament by a considerable majority.
The total Free-trade gains 936. For these results the Libe-
ral party are indebted to the Anti-Corn•law Leaguo.— Won,
