SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON', 3 O'CLOCK.
In . our report of' Tuesday's racing, tke., we scarcely did
justice to our subject ; indeCd, so immense was the
throng, that it was next to impossible to proceed With
any approach to regularity.. That i‘o large and motley
an assemblage should be drawn to- • this generally
quiet town, is not to be placed solely to the ac-
count of the races—a fight be: wecu the noted English
pugilist, Johnny Broome, and the Australian cham-
pion, Bungaree, was arranged to come off this morn-
ing, within a few miles of the town, and the thou-
sands of high and low degree, that flocked into the
town from all quarters would almost warrant the infer-
ence that the taste fin- this amusement is reviving. his
almost needless to add, that many questionable charac-
ters were in the neighbourhood, and that " pockets to
let" were the natural consequences. The excitement
did not terminate. With the day ; carriages of every' de-
scription rattled into the town in the middle
of the night, kitchens became bed-rooms, and hun-
dreds, lacking even this sorry accommodation, were
feign to put up with perambulating the streets from
dusk till daylight. The bustle continued this morning;
coaches and private carriages, Mile-end omnibuses and
shattery-daps (things never heard of at Newmarket until
now), and horsemen out of number, poured in until ten
o'clock, and then, for the first time for twenty-four
hours, the " peaceable inhabitants" obtained a respite
from their fears (of what nature may be
guessed) and troubles. The trusting place vas
Mildenhall, and thousands of all classes pointed
their horses' heads north, leaving the settling for Tues-
day's races to its fate. • Most of the aristocratic visitors
went with the stream, and the Stewards of the Jockey
Club have very considerately put off this afternoon's
racing until half-past three, by which it is expected their
friends will have returned from the " mill." As it is un-
likely we shall procure a horse to forward our express
of the races, we may. as well state that of the four
in the list two only will be run, viz., a Handicap
of 20 sovs. each, A. F., for which Bellissima, aged,
Bst 91b ; Sir Hans, 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; St. Colomb, 4 yrs,
7st 12Ib ; and Eleus, 3 yrs, 6st 121 b, stand ; and the 100
sovs. Stakes, AM., for which Attila, Paladium, and the
Devil-amongst-the-Tailors are left in. 4to is offered
on Attila. Lord Kelburne's Muley Moloch colt walks
over forthe 50 SOvs. Plate, and Lord Albemarle's Nuncio
receives from Lord Orford's c by Jerry, out of Petulance
(on the coughing list), in the D.M. match for 200, h ft.
The Tuesday has again passed without a challenge fur
the Cup.
The Marquis of Exeter was omitted in our list of
