SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—May 24.
An amazing deal of business was done yesterday on the
Derby and Oaks, and some further variations are notice-
lble. In consequence of having had a very favourable
sweat in the morning, Espagnolle was made a better fa-
vourite, and heavy sums laid out upon him. Donna
Clara receded several points, Scheherazade is again first
favourite, at low odds. It is thought that about 20
horses will start for the Derby, as about 20 or 22 horses
are now there.

ANECDOTE.—In the parish of Cockpen,
(near Dalkeith) a poor woman was once em•
ployed to sweep out the church every Saturday,
for a penny a-week. So much was she dissatis-
fied, however, with this remuneration, that she
one `day resolved to put up a prayer within the
church for an enlargement of her income ; and
not receiving an answer, she continued her en-
treaties from week to week, until a wag, having
overheard her, ensconced himself on the next op-
portunity below one of the seats, and while
" Lucky was at her devotions, he called out
" Ye hae eneugh already for what ye do !" when
to this she instantly made response, " If that be
thy will, I maim e'en baud sae; but I think
ye might lute made it tippenee !",--Glasgozy
Herald.
MURDER.—On Thursday evening, a murder
was committed at Wolverhampton, by an Irish-
man named John Mills, upon a woman named
Finn, a native of Birmingham. It appears that
they had long cohabited together, and the woman
was pregnant ; they left Birmingham on Wed-
nesday or Thursday last, under the idea of being
married. However a quarrel ensued between
them ; he knocked her down, and kicked her on
the temple, which caused her instant death.--=
Mills immediately absconded, and returned to
Birmingham on' Friday last. The police are out
in all directions in search of him. He stands
about five feet 10 inches high.—Pottery Mer-
cuq.
