PROPAGATIOIV OF THE GOSPEL.

. .
Yesterday, a very full and highly respectable Meet-
ing of Ladies and Gentlemen, interested in the pro-
motion of the Gospel in every part of the known
world, by the laudable and zealous exertions of the
Ministers in connexion with the late Rev. JOHN
WESLEY, was held at the City-road Chapel ; J. Bur-
TERWORH, Esq. M.P. in the Chair.
A very able and, satisfactory statement of the pro-
gress of the labours of the Missionaries was read to
the fleeting, and the gratifying intelligence that the
receipts of the Society exceeded those of the preceding
year by upwards of 5000/. •
W. WlLDEnFortct, Esq. M.P. W. WH.Liams,Esq.
M.P. and several other Gentlemen, made animated
appeals in behalf of their lellow-ci eatures, in further-
ance of the objects of the Society.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, MAY 5.

This was truly a busy day at Tattersall's, in every sense of the
word; a better sale of horses we seldom have witnessed, and in
respect to the grand business, paying and receiving, after the
First Newmarket Spring Meeting, all was completely alive and
-cheerful, and nothing amiss in any shape or form. Th- exchange
of cash took up so much time as to allow but little t..r specula-
tion on races to come-. The following is the exact state of the odds :
