SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
For the first. half hour, a majority of the subscribers congre-
gated within the yard, and, forgetful of the .uperior accommo-
da!i‘m of the room, opened on Thursday last, commenced bet.
ting on the Derby, amidst the noise and codusion of the sale ;
in this vicinity, Jack and the Agreeable colt, were backed at
16 and 18 to 1, and 'eaherselreely at 30 to I. An adjourn-
ment was then moved and carried, and the business of the day
proceeded with comfort and regularity. Our notice of the odds
t n yesterday's paper. placed AAila at the head of the list, Cold-
renick setood, and Canadian with the call of Auckland.
The betti .g this afternoon completely reversed these
positions ;—the Danebury party came out with a ven-
geance, and after a large outlay at 3 to 1 and 5 to '2,
closed by taking 2to 1 eagerly ; many of the bets, we should
add, having been taken by individuals who stood heavily against
him. Attila, we believe, had the call at the commencement,
and was backed in several places at 3 to 1, but what with the
rush to get en Coldrenick, and the avidity with which the four-
teens, the twelves, and, in some quarters, elevens to one were
snapped up about Jack, he gave way to 7 to 2, taken once or
twice, but offered currently at the close. Auckland was backed
to a large amount at 6,7, and 8 to I, the larger odds being
granted to those only who sought to hedge ; the lona fide price
was 13 to 2 (taken). If we were to give credence to the
ridiculous reports in circulation about this horse, Lord
Westminster will have as much trouble to prevent his
being made " safe," as YIN Rawlieson had last year with
Coronation. Canadian relapsed to 8 to 1 (taken), but not
with much spirit. The Agreeable colt had a strong party, at
an improved quotation (14 to 1 taken fieely); and a feW scores
and ponies were laid out on Seahorse, at Z;0, 28, and finally
26 to 1. Forth's lut—Policy, Comberinere, and Hydaspes—
were the only outsiders in any favour. The field is not ex-
pected to exceed three or four-and-twenty, at the outside:
THE OAKS.—Scarcely anything doing, and nothing worth
notice, but an offer of 1,000 to 30 against Dark Susan.

THE RETORT COURTEOUS.—BetheI, an Irish bar-
rister, was the opposing counsel in a case in which
DM•Nully, the ct.lebrated witty barrister, was employed.
Bethel made several rude personal observations on
M'Nally, who on that account interrupted his opponent
in his speech. Bethel, vexed at this, at last exclaimed,
"Brother M‘Nally, you have taken :he liberty of forcing
your remarks in the middle of my statements, and have
several times broken the thread of my discourse." " Bro-
ther Bethel," said "ss by (:idn't ou wax it
better ?" Bethel's father had been a shoemaker, and his
sou was ashamed of him.
