SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, OCT. is.
Tattersall's Subscription Room to-day was open at the usual hour
en betting-days, but very few speculators on the Turf attended; in
fact, no business was done worth notice in the great Stakes. This
can only be attributed to the absence of Gentlemen at the New-
market Second October Meeting, which commenced tidy day with
the Post Stakes. We do not calculate that betting will be brisk un-
til after the Newmarket Houghton Meeting, which takes place the
week after neat, being the of this year's Races ; then the
Derby and Oaks horses will Ada known and appreciated. The
state of odds as in our last.

DISTILLATION.--GLASGOW, OCT. 9.—To-morrow the
Distillery Act takes effect, and which will, we antici-
pate, be attended with the most beneficial consequences
to Scotland: we are certain illicit distillation willre-
ceive a deadly blow. In proof of this we can state, that
there ate already orders received in Glasgow for legally
distilled whiskey from Aberdeen and other ports in the
mortis, formerly supplied wholly by illicit distillation.
