SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—Fga. 19.

Very little definite betting took place yesterday afternoon, the
principal part of it being on double events and between horses.
The unfavourab;e state of the Turf precludes the possibility of
the horses taking their regular exercise, trials, &c., and to thi,i
we may attribute the flatness of the betting for the last few days.
A change in the weather will have a corresponding effect in the
betting, and will, no doubt, occasion a revolution in the odds.—
The Riddlesworth is the grand criterion, but the same reason
prevents its being speculated on. We give the odds :

Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said, that so much
was said respecting the distress of the agriculturists as a'reason
why no change should. be made in the Corn. Laws, he felt it his
duty to state a:feW facts to the House, forthe purpose of slinwitig
that the distress of which the agriculturists complained was-pot •
peculiar to them, but that it had extended. in a 'fearful degree to
the trading interests. In one parish in the City of Loudon, eon.,
sisting of 800 houses, thirty housekeepers were last year excused
from paying their poor-rates, 175 others were summoned, 94d, on
being heard, two-thirdS of them were discharged on payintsvpart,
and the rest were allowed further time: • -In that parislaAltere
were 820 persons in the poor-house, and 850 out-peosioners,
.many of whom had large families. The Hon.. Alderman then re-
ferred to the great number of bankruptcies last year, exceeding
by 1,000 the number of any preceding year, as additional evidence
of the much depressed condition of the trading interest. Under
such circumstances there, could be no doubt that they were entitled
to all the relief that could be afforded them.

Mr. Alderman-THOMPSON also bore testimony

The petition was read at length, amidst loud cries of " read it
short." It was laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
