BETTING E. XTRAORDTNARY ON THE DON-
CASTER ST. LEGER.
Fresh accounts arrive almost every hour relative to the state
of the horses assembled at Doncaster for the great ST• Leger
Stakes of next week, which constitute new arrangements on the
odds. We are induced to give as full particulars as possible
which occurred at Wise's, One 'fun, Jermyn-street, last nigheat
twelve o'clock, being the grand emporium of the grandee specn_
lators on the Turf. We never witnessed, on any former occasion,
prior to so great a Stake as the St. Leger, a greaterassemblage
of sporting men present ; end we may justly add, we never saw
so much spearing and so little fighting before. There wits nothing
but offers which could not be taken; in fact, nothing like betting
took place—all were seemingly at a stand-still. It appears that
Sherwood, last Friday, had a good trial, and on Ida bock was a
first-rate Yorkshire Jockey—it was all right; and whatever the
betting-men may offer or lay, he must most inevitably be the
first favourite at starting, and equally likely to win. Tinker has
had a trial, and it is confidently said, not equal in result to that
of Sherwood. Barefoot is a kind of favourite, and Rosanne
still keeps a favourite, but no betting about them. The other
horses were scarcely noticed or betted upon.

GRAND SAILING MATCH.
Yesterday afternoon, one of the most delightful and gratifying
sights to the admirers of aquatic sports took place on the River
Thames, above Blackfriars-bridge where a number of Gentle-
, men's pleasure-vessels had assembled, fully manned, for the pur-
, pose of sailing for a superb Silver Cup and Cover, the gift of the
Members composing the Thames Yacht Club. The cunditious
were that the vessels should be of unlimited burthen, as annexed;
1. 1)on Giovanni, Captain Davey, of Chelsea, seven tons.
I 2. Antelope, Captain Clementson, Adelphi, six tons.
3. Venus, Captain Groves, Horselyduwn, 13 tons.
4. Mentor, Captain Jones, Stangate, six tons.
5. Spitfire, Captain Bettswortb, Chelsea, five tons.
6. Waterloo, Captain Tom kins, Stangate, eight tons.
7. Fortitude, Captain Martin, Millbauk, seven tons.
8. Swallow, Captain Williams, Paul's Wharf, five tons.
9. Royal Eagle, Captain Stokes, Rotherbithe, four tons.
10. Conclusion, Captain Drew, Old Swan, five tons.
11. Ludlow, Captain Wilks, Arundel Stairs, five torts.
12. Swift, xptain Field, Arundel Stairs, four tons,
13. Seahorse, Captain Capper, Lambeth, eight tons.
Although the above thirteen vessels were placed in Malin.
tion, only ten stationed themselves to contend teethe prise; the
11 Ludlow, Swift, and Mentor, previously declined the match.
I Soon after three o'clock, the Commanders, in their respective
vessels, appeared on the River, and after cruizing about for
some time, took their stations allotted, near the arches of Black-
friars Bridge, preparatory to starting. At this time Father
Thames presented a most animated appearance ; six, eight, and
ten-oared cutters, and boats of various descriptions, were ob-
served floating on the watery element, filled with company, all
anxiously waiting the Commodore's signal, who was seen shortly
after situated in a six-oa red galley, and minutely inspecting than.
On finding their positions correct, the signal was suddenly give%
.when they as suddenly got under weigh, and proceeded to their
destination, which was from Blachfriars Bridge round.. boat
moored off the Powder-house, at Wandsworth Meadows, and
back to Cumberland Gardens, the first vessel being entitled to
the •pr4e.
This match was one of the finest witnessed for maw time
past. It was manfolly conducted by the crews of the respective
vessels. Each was at his station, and each tattered himself
with success. The contest was a most splendid one. Much
skill and dexterity were displayed by the several competitors,
but the palm of victory was finally awarded to the Spitfire, Capt.
Bettsworth,who, arriving first off Cumberland Gardens, reeeived
the most unbounded applause from thg multitude assembled on
Vauxhall-bridge, along the banks of the shore, and those situated
in boats on the river, the sport of which apparently seemed to
give universal satisfaction to all present. •
Capt. Bettsworth, the fortunate winner, wag instantly escorted
into Cumberland Gardens, when the Cup and Cover was prey
sensed to him as his prize, in the presence of a numerova com-
pany assembled, amid loud acclamations.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW.STREZT.
Ktulatawerrirr..—Mr. Pitt, jun. son of Old Mr. Pitt, of the
Meted, was brought before G. R. Mnisstou., Req. yesterday,
on a pesos-warrant, for threatening to stab the servant of a gen-
darnel' who resides in the house of Old Mr. Pitt, who himself
attended for the double purpose of giving his sou the weight of
lie coontenanre, and the Magistrate the benefit of his °dyke.
It appeared that the gentleman occupies a part of Mr. Pitt's
house, with thejoint use of the kite.ben--tbat is to say, he may,
or imaglaes he may, roast a joint there whenever he has a joint to
roast ; and if Mr. Pitt wishes to roast a joint-at the same time,
they most either join their joints upon the self-same spit, or one
joint must wait till the other joint is dished—a very awkward
predicament, whereby Mr. Pitt has often been dished out of his
appetite far want of baying his dinner dished 'up in due time!
Nevertheless, such is what called "joint sue of is kitchen."
Bot to the point. Mr. Pitt and the Gentleman, mutually ir.
rusted by this state of things;have carried on a sort of culinary
warfare, each insisting upon his right to rule the roast—or the
boil, as the case might happen to be; and, at length, Mr. Pitt
ordered his son, young Mr. Pitt, to plant himself perpetually in
the kitchen, . there to Orotect his pots, pipkins, and pattypans,
the use and oboes of all persons 'whatsoever--they not

against
being included in the joint sue agreement. The surveil:asses of
young Mr. Pitt gave great annoyance to the servants of the Gentle-
man—a man and his wife, who officiated as valet and cook. They
did not like to be notched ; they had not !peen used to it. Young
Mr. Pltt did not care whether they liked it or not; and the more
they exclaimed against his watching, the more he watched. High
words arose. Cookey called young Mr. Pitt a puppy; and be
called Cookey a that is to say a dog's sister. Cookers
husband, the valet, could not stand by and heat' his wife called
' to pieces in that manner," and, therefore, be went towards young
Tldr. Pitt—though, as he said, not with any intention of touching
him. However, be that akit may, young Mr. Pitt popped out
his penknife and said—" By jingo /"--or some dreadful oath of
that kind—" I'll disembowel you, if you do !" As he said this,
he drew back his hand as if about to make a lunge at the valet's
bowel-ease; which so alarmed the poor man that, leaving Cookey
to her fate, he scampered out of the house; and, making the best
of his way to this Office, he gate such a horrible account of the
affair, as induced the Magistrate to issue the warrant.
Mr. Pitt now contended that the words " ifyonde" amounted
to proof positive that the valet was about to attempt something,
and in that case bis son would be justified in defending hiniaelt.
Young Mr. Pitt said he was apprehAssive that the valst was
going to strike him ; but the valet said he had not the slightest,
Intention of the kind.
71'he Gentleman produced a document of eighty-nine folios,
which he said was an agreement Wilding him to a part of Mr.
Pitt's house, and " the joint use of the kitchen," for a conside-
ration of £2OO per annum ; and he wished to know how he
could protect his servants from being pestered by Messrs. Pitt?
The Nlogi4trate—after listened to all the panics with
most exemplary patience—tlecidetl, that Mr. Pitt should become
bail for his cwn appearance at the Sessions; that the valet, if
he pleased, might exhibit articles of the peace against Young Mr.
Pitt at the said Sessions; and that the Gentleman might seek
protection against the uncivil pesterings of the Pitts by civil action
- his Solicitor thought it advisable.
" Aye, aye," said Old Mr. Pitt—snuffing the battle afar off;
- Aye, aye, let him apply to his Solicitor, or to Mr. Chitty if
he likes, and they'll soon set matters right." And then they
all went away.
