SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TA ITE LISA YESTERDAY.
The only race touched upo. n yesterday afternoon was
the Derby, on which, as our List will show, the betting
took an extensive range. The cbanges in the established
favourites were of no great moment, but some new.ones
were brough t into notice and backed with considerable
spirit, the investments in several instances amounting to
two or three hundred hounds. The horses most pro-
minently in demand were a British Yeoman, Philipd
Sirikol ; offers were made
o
back
the last mentioned
Winesour, Cotherstone, Ch, ra colt, Lucetta colt,
an
horse against anything in the (t jir G. Heatlicote's) stable.

THE ANTIQUARY. _ Cadell.

This part forms the fourteenth of the Abbots-
ford edition of the Waverley novels, now under
re-publication by Mr. Cadell. The abbey scene
of Arbroath, which constitutes so picturesque a
part of the original—Dousterswivel digging for
the treasure—Edie Ochiltree's listening to ti►e
rumour of the swamping of Mucklebackit's boat
—and the humorous interview between the
Antiquary and the Phoca—have been well con-
ceived by the artist, who with these and half-a-
dozen other good designs, has embellished ten
more chapters.

ORDERS BY MAJOR-GENERAL SIR R. SALE.

Camp, Futtiahbad, 16th August.
The Major-General has received a commune''
from the Major-General commanding, to the •e•trect, that
Major-General Nott has marched onapso!:
'nil, and calling
upon officers and men to march.
as I.lght as possible, so as
to render every camel Ps4ihl.e available for ammunition,
grain, &c., to enable th!'s force to meet General Nott at
Caubul. Sir R. tale relies on the strenuous exertions of
officers commanding corps and detachments to carry out
the wishe4 of Major-General Pollock. It. is also a very
mater;.„l point the reduction of camp followers ; those
fravitig families will he directed to send them back to
Jellalabad. An opportunity of sending all spare baggage
into Jellalabad will offer itself to-morrow, of which offi-
cers are requested to avail themselves. •
Camp, Futtialibad, 17th August.
Major-General Sir R. Sale has this day received an-
other communication from General Pollock, which posi-
tively prohibits any women or children accompanying
the advance, as well as camp followers not indispensably
necessary. Officers commanding corps and troops of
Artillery, will attend to this order without delay. The
Major-General gives due warning to the brigade and its
followers, that offenders brought before him for pilfering
or strolling into any village, or molesting its inhabitants,
will bo severely punished.
Camp, Futtiahbad, Aug. 18.
Officers commanding regiments and artillery will be
most particular that the indents far supplies of the Com-
missariat include only those entitled to be provisioned by
the Commissariat.
Camp, Futtiahbad, Aug. 26.
Captain Mainwikring, Assistant Commissary-General,
will make arrangements for sending every disposable
beast of burden to Jellalabad, for the purpose of carrying
grain to this camp. In a communication from Major-
General Pollock to Sir R. Sale, the Major-General thus
expresses himself :—" Perhaps, on such an occasion,
officers would send the carriage they have to assist, for
it must be very evident to all how important it is to pro.
vide provisions this way for the followers."
ORDERS BY MAJOR-GENERAL PPLLQCR, C.B.

Camp, Simla, Aug. 22.
It is to be explained to the camp fulloWers that, after
the advance of the troops from Gundamuck, they wil
not receive rations for eight days. To , enable them to
subsist for that period a supply for eight days will be
served out to each man, which he must carry. This
order is to be made generally known throughout the
brigades, and commanding officers of the regiments are
to be particular in promulgating it through their bazaar
and lines.

BURMAH.

Moulmein papers to the 24th August, contain no-
thing of importance. Cholera was making frightful
ravages on the banks of the Irrawaddy, and some
cases had occurred at Rangoon. There is some dis-
cussion in the papers about the discovery of some tin
mines near Mergui ; but it was doubtful whether the
working of them would be attended with adequate re-
turns. The death of Captain Kinsman, the Master-
Attendant at Moulmein, is announced; as also the
arrival of the Princess Royal and Lord Elphinstone
from Madras, having on board detachments of her
Majesty's 84th Regiment. This regiment left Eng-
land on the Ist of May last, and has been sent here
for the relief of her Majesty's 63d. It is under the
command of Lieut.-Colonel -Macbean ; the detachment
which has arrived being under the command of Major
Franklyn. His Burmese Majesty was very quietly
ensconced in his capital, and very laudably engaged
in keeping his country quiet, and in repairing some of
the damages caused by the late earthquakes, and was
expected at Rangoon in October, for the ostensible
purpose of superintending the casting of a bell, a work
that was either deferred, or attempted and failed
during his last visit. Preparations for his reception,
however, were much more in advance this time last
year; and as no commencement appears to have been
made for erecting a new palace, this may be taken as
an argument against his coming down this year. The
country appears to be perfectly quiet throughout, and
everything in the shape of opposition to the present
Government to have been successfully put down.

ADELPHL

A new farce, from the French, entitled Antony and
Cleopatra, and a musical extravaganza, or ballet,
called Alma, constituted the two new attractions at this
theatre last night. In the latter, which is a burlesque
of the successful ballet which had so long a run last
season at the Opera-house, Mr. Bedford's mock
heroic and bravuras, with Mr. Wieland's comic dances,
elicited considerable applause from a crowded house.
The new farce, called Antony and Cleopatra, was pro-
duced immediately after Mr. Stirling s adaptation of
the lifiser's Daughter, which promises to be for some
indefinite length of time the leading attraction at this
littl*theatre. In this Wright's acting was inimita-
ble, and would alone have insured the success of the
farce, . while Miss Murray proved herself a capital
actress. Mr. Gladstanes continues to enjoy that
nightly pleasure—the sight of an overflowing house.
As regards the last piece, Mr. Wright and Miss
Murray kept the house in a roar for the brief dura-
tion of one act, without the assistance of any other
performer.

SCIENCE.

_ ELECTRO-DEPOSITION OF METALS.—The rapid pro-
gress which has been made in this important branch of
science has naturally created great astonishment in the
public mind by reason of the many useful applications to
which the discovery has already been directed. Amongst
other for which patents have been granted, and large
establishments raised, is one in Birmingham for the
plating of all descriptions of manufactured metals, such
as table services, candelabra, and indeed anything how-
ever large or small made in metal. The house alluded
to is that of Elkington and Company, and has already a
branch establishment in Moorgate-street, in this city,
and another, it is said, is about to be opened in Regent-
street, upon a scale of magnitude. The advantages of
this new and simple process are very many ; amongst
others may be named that the goods are manufactured in
the same manner as silver, the ornamental part being
chased in solid metal, and where joints are necessary
none but hard solder is used. The base is composed of a
purified white nickel metal of great durability, and of
the same colour as the exterior. The union of the sur-
face and base is perfect, forming one body. The plating
on the more prominent parts is, from the nature of the
process, stronger than on those parts less exposed to
wear. Every description of style, however elaborate,
and whether embossed or engraven, is plated witn the
same facility as a plain surface ; and with moderate
care such goods will last for many years, and can be re-
plated when injured, which under the old process could
not be done.

In the Aberdeen Journal of Wednesday last, the
following paragraph appears :--•" At Nether Fornet
of Skene, may be seen a potatoe, of the round species,
40f oz. in weight, and 22 inches in circumference.
Match that if you can 1" But at Mains of Kin-
mundy, New Machar, may be seen a potato, of the
round species, 43 oz. in weight Match that if you

OLYMPIC.

Sunshine and Shade, an effective drama, from the
pen of Mr. W. L. Rede, was last night produced at this
theatre, and was exceedingly well received by a
crowded house. The situations in the drama are
striking and effective, and the very excellent acting
of Miss L. Melville and Mr. Fitzjanies; as Jane and
Graves, tended materially to its success. Mr. Wild,
in the character of Lysimachus Dobbs, did much to
delight the audience. Ills comic song, " The Ad-
ventures of a Vagabond," (extracted from " The Ad-
, rentnres of a Gentleman"), is irresistibly droll. The
evening's performance consisted further of My Valet
and I, Norval (burlesqued), and Which is Which?

HENRY CLINTON BADDELEY.

. The above individual died on the 3d instant, at the
Longbottom Stockade, Sydney, of consumption. Ht
was the son of Major-General Baddeley, of the Benga
army, an officer distinguished for his gallantry, who
in his younger days,. on more than one occasion, led
on the " forlorn hope." His son possessed the same
fearless and undaunted spirit ; and there are circum-
stances connected with his short but eventful life,
which, if collected together, would form au interest-
ing romance. At an early period he entered the mi-
litary service of the Honourable East India Company,
and fir sonic time was attached to the Irregular Ca-
valry, where he acquired such skill in the use of his
sword and spear, as well as in the management of his
horse, that he -was considered a match for the best
" Sowalir" in the far-famed " Skinner's Horse." In
fact, he was reckoned one of the best swordsmen in
India. His wild and enterprising spirit led him to
enter the Persian service at the period of the Rus-
sian war, and he soon attained the rank of Major
and the command of a regiment. During his stay in
Persia he had the honour of dining at the same table
with the present Emperor of Russia, after a nar-
row escape from being shot for fighting against the
Russians. He quitted the Persian service, and was
employed by the British Envoy at the Courtof Persia
to convey despatches of great importance to Lord
Ponsonby, at Constantinople, a journey of 2,000 miles,
which he performed on horseback in an incredibly
short time, and suffered the greatest fatigue and
printions. Lord Ponsonby sent him with the same
despaches to London, and he delivered them in safety
to Lord Palmerston, who received him with the
greatest kindness and made him many promises of
support and protection, not one of which he ever ful-
filled. During his short stay in England he moved
in the highest circles, and was a welcome guest. in
the families of several of the British nobility—Lord
Brougham's, amongst otherS,—and he resided dur-
ing several weeks with the Marquis of Waterford,
at his family residence in Ireland. He was presented
by Lord Palmerston to Queen Victoria, on which
occasion he was dressed in the full uniform of a field
officer in the Persian army, and decorated with the
splendid order of the Sun. He came to this colony
with letters to his Excellency the Governor, which
procured for him the miserable situation of an as-
sistant at the convict stockade at Longbottom—a
situation altogether unworthy of his birth and con-
nexions, but there he lingered for many months, and
there he was left to die. He died without any of the
comforts required by an invalid, without medical at-
tendance, with the exception of an occasional visit
from a benevolent gentleman unconnected with the
Government, without a friend or relative near him,
and no one but a convict to administer to his wants,
and to perform the last melancholy office of closing
his eyes in death.—Sydney Herald, March 12.

James's Powders; &e., which is frequently prescribed by the

of the LONDON RESTORATIVE am thereby classed with
those .pretenders, who can show no medical guarantee for the
safety cf the public, nor the genuiness of their medicine. I
beg leave, therefore, respectfully to inform you, that the com•
position of the London Restorative is from the Recipe of Dr.
Thomas Buchanan,- of Bull,- Graduate, member of several
learned societies, author of several iurgieal works, papers, &c.,
and whose publications are quoted by the most celebrated pro-
fessional writers of the day.
It was owing to the repeated failures of the best medical
piactitioners in Britain, in the treatment of ' several di!ea9es,
that led to the discovery of the medicine sold by me as the
London Restorative. Owing to the great eXpence incurred by
experiments &e., during upwards of twenty years, Di. Bucha-
nan consulted a physician of the first talent in London, on the
subject, who advised him—" To dispose of the Medicine in
this form, until his expenses were reimbursed, and then to
throw it open to the profession."
Front the acknowledged talent and genius of Dr. Buchanan,
who, by his publications and practice, placed acoustic surgery
in
.the high station it now holds in Britain, the public may
safely rely on the properties of any recipe of that very able
practitioner.—l remain, sir, yours most respectfully,

STOURBRID GE.

You may form some idea of the state of Stourbridge
from the following—there is not one pit at work. In
!"act, throughout the whole division of the country there
is nothing, to be seen for miles but idle works, groups of
men, women, and children begging, and encamped in'
fields cooking whatever provision they can procure.
The country is altogether in the most extraordinary
position ever known in the memory of the oldest man
living. There never was anything like the combination,
v.nd no prospect of a settlement.

HAGLEY.

On Wednesday 'evening last, alter dark, considerable
lam was excited in the village of Ilagley from the fact
that about thirty colliers were-strolling about begging in
no very respectful language. They, however, proceeded
on their way towardS Bromsgrove, and on finding a barn
suitable to their purpose, disposed of themselves for the
night. - In the morning they robbed a carter who was
.proceeding •towards Stourbridge, for coal, of 155., and
t.nother of 21, and went on their wayc On the same day
three men made their way through a window into the
dwelling-house of Mrs. Crump, at Broom, and refused to
depart till they
.were supplied with food, &c. Their
wants being satisfied, they left without further 'annoy.

RIRKMAN V. ANDREWS.

Lord LANGDALE gave judgment this morning in this case, the
facts of which have already appeared in The Sun To the bill
filed by the plaintiff in the cause, the defendants had set
up a plea to the effect, that the plaintiff having become
bankrupt and obtained his certificate, had a second time
become bankrupt, and had not, as they were informed and believed,
paid 15s. in the pound ; and therefore that he was not in a position
entitling him to make any claim against the defendants, without
making his assignees parties to the suit, which he had not done.
It had been contended for the plaintiff that the words " they were
informed and believed" in the plea were not sufficient. His Lord_
was of opinion that these words were sufficient, and gave the parties
leave to amend their bill.

near the town, notorious for being the usual scene of these
single combats..
