SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGHAM RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
Another fine day, a list prolific of racing, amateur and
professional, and an attendance that suffered little from
a comparison with Egham in its best days. FaThion was
not wanting to give eclat to the " grand day," the
following noblemen and gentlemen having honoured the
ground with their presence :—The Earl of Suffield, Earl
of Rosslyn, Lord George Bentinck, Lord James Fitzroy,

Booth, Baronet ; Hon. Francis Villiers, Hon. Cecil
Forester, Colonel Knox, Hon. Captain Boyle, Captain
Martyn, Captain Bulkeley, Captain Bastard, Captain
Vyse, Mr. Gregory, Mr. Jaques, besides many others
eminent in the fashionable and spurting world.
The racing commenced at the usual time, and, up to
the Amateur stakes, was run off with punctuality ; the
gentlemen, however, were so deliberate in. their motions
chat it was not until half-past six o'clock that the hurdle
racing was brought to a close.

work, and carried it on to the second gap, where The
Devil went up and they raced head to head to the stand;
here Pine Apple joined them, a brilliant race ensued,

Elysium refused the second hurdle, remained there till
the other horses came back, and then followed them
home. Woodbine and Eleanor were objected to before
starting, on the ground that they are thorough-bred
horses. The objection had not been gone into when we
lea the course.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HOW TO OBTAIN HEALTH
WHEN ',MT.—The wonderful regenerating effects that Hol-
loway's pills produce upon the whole system is truly astonish-
ing. This wonderful medicine perfectly identifies and assimi-
lates itself with the blood and other fluids, while it removes
from them all impurities. It acts upon the stomach, the liver,
the heart, the lungs, and the kidneys, and in its course so surely
cleanses and invigorates those organs as to make the return of
health the immediate consequence of a few doses of this won-
der-working remedy. Persons of weak and debilitated consti-
tutions are sure to regain their healtli and vigour by their use,
even when every other means have failed. Sold by all medi-
cine vendors, likewise at Professor Holloway's establishment,
244, Strand, London.

RELIGION IN THE COLONIES —From a bulky Par-
liamentary return, just published, it appears that, according to
a schedule of the grants, endowments, and appropriations
made for the purpose of religious instruction or of education in
the colonies (the gross total publication of our colonial depen-
dencies amounting in the aggregate to 4,705,739 souls), there
was paid in 1842 a total sum of 226,9021. to the Clergy of the
Churches of England, Scotland, Reme, and the Methodist
and Dissenting Ministers, of which 46,9611. was paid
by the British Treasury, and 176,9381. from Colonial
funds. The grants from the British Treasury
to schools during the same period amounted to 23,117/.,
and that for Colonial funds to 146,2301., snaking a grand
total of 172,407/. Of the sum of 49,694/. granted by the
Treasury to the Clergy, those of the Anglican Establishment
received 44,593/. ; those of the Scotch, 347/. ; and those of
the Romish, 2,024/. Of the sum of 176,938/. granted from
Colonial funds, 118,4431. was received by the Anglican Clergy,
29,645/. by the Scotch, 4,634/. by the Wesleyans and Dissen-
ters, and 24,216/. by the Romish Priests.
A correspondent informs us that the Rev. Doctor
Joseph Wolff has taken up his residence at Malines, and has
accepted the chaplaincy of the English Protestant Chapel
there, where he will perform divine service every Sunday.—
