SPORTING iNTLLUGANCE.

BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S. AUG. 25.
The betting has altered very materially on Cleveland since Mon.
day, about whom, it is said, estremely favourable reports have
been received. In the course of yesterday nue of the leading men
(whose judgment and information are greatly relied or') took 12.000
to 1,000, 1,000 to 100, and 1,000 to 100 about this hor'se, and the
odds, of course, immediately fell, and were quoted as low as 10
to 1. The betting today was very brisk, and Clevelatul settled at
12 to I. Very little was said about Homer, whose backers are
not very numerous. Whisker and Trincido went back. The odds
left off as under:

The Course was much more numerously attended than on-either
of the preceding days, and the sport much better, which is to be
attributed to Mr. kamsbottom, the acting Steward, whose ware-
witting elections in catering for the public amusement, cannot be
too highly praised. The public are also indebted to Mm for the
subscriptions which have already taken place for the Gold Cap,
and Surrey and Middlesex Stakes foe neat year., of .whithpartiee...

the light-hogered gentry, and received the thanks of the Steward

Why linger en this battle heath.
go sterile, wild, and keel? sow
&ranger ! h tells a tale of death.
That well befits he barns brow.
Ns/ rot not ea that swelling sod,
But let us hew: It marks a grave !
Whose verdure is the price of Wood--
The beatesetreans of the vainly brave!
bong Tears ago, from o'er the sea,
A bantded Prince, of Stuart's line.
Came hither, claiming fealty
And succour in his Site's decline.
A triple diadem--a throne—
Ambition's toys—his birthright were :
Of wallies, lakes, and mountains lone.
Of all our country was he heir!
AA there we saw the chequer 'd plaid
Across his bosom proudly cast, •
The tnountairs.bconet on his head.
. Its black plumes streaming in the blast :
And then we heard the gathering cry
Coats blended with the pihroch's strain,
And saw the fire-cross flashing by.
Our warriors ranking on the plain!
In sooth, it was a stirring sight!
To these old eyes, grown din' with tears e
Still. piercing through the after-night,
The past In all its pomp appears.
These sheltered glens and dusky hills.
Yon isles that gem the western wave
Send forth their strength like snountain:rills,
To bleed. to die...but not to save!
Away we rush d, our Chiefs were there :
And where should we, the clansmen, be
But by their side T—the worst to dare,
Aye changeless in fidelity !
And yen young Royal Warrior, too,
So gaily in our tartans &est.
Was in our van; there proudly flew
The heather o'er his dancing crest !
Then came the Southron, hand to band.
And wide and wasting was the fray;
But Victory untied on Scotia's brand.
And swept their trembling ranks away.
We chased them o'er the border.streents:
Dice England hea rd our slogan.shout,
And saw with dread the boreal gleams
Of Highland claymores flashing out !
The foe wail strong ; our Chieftains famed
Is council on each other: then
We basely left our vantage ground,
And turfed us home like beaten men.
Yet England's blue-eyed yeomen bold,
Though vaunting in their long array,
Confess d it was no play to hold,
Or strike the moentain.devr at bay !
At length Culloden's boding heath,
Despairing, saw our clansmen stand,
V bile, flaming like the sword of death.
Before us gleaned the Saxon brand.
I: smote us merciless; it slew
The flower of many a warrior clan,
Till down you bank the crimson dew,
To mingle with the hill-stream, ran!
Our Chieftains sought theirjoadve hips;
Our Prince was hunted Eke the deer ;
The captives pour'd their blood in ;
Nor dared a vassal raise the spear.
Come, come away ! you've now the tale,
That cost our country tears of blood :
The Saxon conqueed, ati4 the Gael

LvSOLVENT DEBTORS' COUR I; AUG. 25.

This wornitte the Cislef Commis►ioner sat to btu motions, &c
Ir the sosuer of Cbules Smith. a primmer foe debt to Bristol Jail.
Mr. CooKa moved, on the insolvents affidavit, that
Hs petition, now on the ales of the Coort, be dismissed.
The circumstances of the case were these:—On the

19. h Auptst, 1823, the insolvent was committed to
the jail of Ilchester, when he petitioned this Coon,
and obtained leave to be heard upon such petition be.
fore the Justices of the Peace for the County of Somer-
set, at the then ensuing Sessions for that county. Upon
bearing the several matters contained in the second
petition, the Magistrates adjudged the insolvent to be
imprisoned for the space of 12 months. Notwithstand-
ing tUs "adjudication, the insolvent, in contravention of
the same, compromised with his detaining creditor
three months berme the expitstion of the term, and
the:eby obtained his liberty. Subsequent to such libe-
ration, he contracted a new debt, upon which he
was arrested in June last, and committed to Bristol

jail. in which he is now a prisoner. The reason he
assigned for not • applying within the time-prescribed
by Act of Parliament was (as the insolvent deposed)
owiug to his ignorance how to proceed, but at length
Le had been advised to pray the Court to dismiss the
lot mer petition.
The CUIZIP Commentates wished to know why the Insolvent
wished his petition to be dismissed ?
Mr. Coots explained, that the insolvent moldered
that he had not received any benefit under the Act,
because be had not undergone the term of imprison-
ment awarded •by the Court.
Tht Crust COMMISSIONZR contider:d 'hit the insol-
vent had the protection of the Act of Parliament, and
thrt no creditor on his former schedule ciuld arrest him.
Jr. Coors said, that great difference of opinion existed on
this paint.
Ones Costansnowsa—l have heard (bat the Learned Judges
are divided is their opinion on the subject; )et, however, it is
one of great importance.
Mr. Comte said, that he apprehended that if in in-
solvent was releised from prison (it mattered not by
what means) before he had continued there for the
period of remand, the adjudication of the Court would
be unavailing ; and that he was, at all events, liable to
be detained by other creditors till the term was complete.
The-Grua COMMISSICNVR said be was aware that
ti.at might be done; but (said he) suppose we were to
remand a man for 12 months, and it should happen
that she detaining creditor should send him his dis-
ci.aige two days before the expiration of the term,
would it not he a case of hardship fur a man so libe-
rated, by unconttoolable Circumstances, to be deprived
of use protection afforded by the Act?
After further discussion, the Court granted a rule to
-;.ew cause why be should not be allowed to file his
father petition; but the Chief Commissioner would
not dismiss bat already on the file.
Ms. Coats igiiterisit the seisestym was, whether the debts on the
firs: scbednie oughts nraught not, to be inserted in the second ?
The ()nose eiiid'tilat was another consideration, and he hoped
the Ligneil Gendeman (Ur. Cooke) would look into the cases
which .bid been Wince the Court above, as the nutter was of an
taproot saiture-

FROM A GLASGOW I'APAP.
The alarm naturally felt by an classes at the opera-
tions of the combined colliers to limit the supply, and
by a forced scarcity to • age the price e4' coals during
next winter, will not be at all allayed by the intelli-
gence that Mr. Dunlop, of Clyde Iron Works, whose
case was so fully detailed last week, has !seen obliged
to comply with the demands of his colliers. Hit Ha-
milton Farm colliery has been stopped 12 weeks, and
tha Iron Wcfrks six weeks. The wages Of his workmen
amounted to about 1,2001. a lot thigh re The i Ile woe k-
men were regularly supported by the rest of the com-
bination, and what must excite surprise, with the excep-
tion of fire of the principal coal works, they readily
found employment in other quarters. This latter cir-
cumstance bad a strong effect in inducing Mr. Dunlop
to give way ; as he had at least expected that none of
the trade would have employed those men.who had so
unjustifiably left him. As long as thii continued, any
attempt to reduce them was considered hopeless. S,
many had thus been enyloyed elsewhere, that oil SA..
turday week, the general combination were only 801. out
of pocket to support the idle men. The loss accruing
from the stoppage of the wot ks was great ; and it was
therefore dce:ned useless to protract a contest single-
handed when the chances were sl much against him.—
'The colliers have partially recommenced work,
and the blast furnaces are putting in order ; but
the population of the village will consume another fort-
night in idleness, befoul the woe ks are fully set going.'
As was to be expected, on the termination of the above.l
dispute, the colliers of another extensive coal-master
struck work on Saturday. Other coal-masters problbly
will next be the object of a strike. The public will soon
feel the consequences ; already at some of the coil-hillsl
,the price is raised, In the meantime the colliers are
going forward with theese alarmitig proceedings un-
checked. On Saturday last there was a secret meeting
of nearly one hundred delegates at Wesunuir.

The 29th of last month,- the first stone was laid of
the new Magazine, which is to be built by his Me•
:orris command, in the Square of the Exchange, at
St. Petersburgh. It is to be 96 fathoms in length, 12
in breadth, and as many in height, and will be raised
so high, that the goods deposited will not be reached
by the water, however the rivers may rise.

Letters from Pest. say. that Captain Baowx, an
Englishman, has proposed to the Magistrate. to light
that city with gas, and there is little doubt that his pro-
posals will be accepted. The PALATINg. and some of
the great Nobles residing in Pest and Ofen, have de-
clared their *anion of using portable gas at their
country seats.

Monday week, Sarah Stansard was comm;tted to the
Borough Gaol of Ipswich, a true bill of indictment
baying been found against her. itt the last General Ses-
dons for that borough for murder, at the parish of St.
Nicholas, on the 17th day of July last.

On the 17th his Majesty's cutter BASILISK, Lieut.
HOUGH Commander. arrived off the Tower, from Ire.
land, with twenty-five tons of money from the Bank of
Ireland, consigned to his Majesty's Mint, consisting of
old Irish silver and halfpence, amounting in value to
110,000/. 1111 cut rency. Tiie BASILISK ►aged from
Chatham on the 7th ult. with 100,0004 in English
silver from the Mint, for the Bank of. Ireland, in fur=
ther.tnce of the intention of his Ithjery'e Government
to equalise the currency of Ireland a ith that of Eng-
land. There are 400,0001. more to go from this coun-
try before the sth of January next, by which date th•:
currency is to be equalised. and all the money of chi
United Kingdom to have the same impression. The
BASILISK met with some very blowing weather in the
Irish Channel, and was forced to go into Milford, in
South Wales, to have her damages made good at the
dock-yard there. His Majesty's cutter SURLY, L'eut.
Wootarouott, is ordered to take over 100,0001. and is
hourly expected at Chatham for that purpose.

.Edina rd Jones was charged, at Flintshire Great Ses-
sions, with feloniously k;lling Samuel Thomas, at ibe
parish of Hope, in the county of Flint. It appeared that
the prisoner had been. fighting with the deceased on the
15th June lett, at the Holly Bush, near Hope, and that
during the contest. the deceased met with a severe fall,
and ever since the battle, to the time of his decease, had
complained of his head. The innocence or guilt of the
prisoner entirely depended upon the evidence of Mr.
Griffith, surgeon, Wrexham, who, upon hearing the
symptoms of his disease, (of Thomas) examined his head,
to ascertain whetherthere was anyfracture,but discovered
none. The deceased died on the 10th of August, when
Mr. G. attended to open the head, upon examining
which, he found a quantity of water in the middle of the
left side of the.brain. He was, however. of opinion. that
that was not sufficient to cause his death without some
concur ring circumstances.—Mr. Justice Jeavta said to
the Jury, that there was no evidence to entitle them to
find the prisoner guilty. That it was clear by the tes-
timony of a very respectable surgeon, with which they
could not avoid being satisfied, that the death was nut
directly caused by an injury the deceased might have
reccivtd at the tight. The Jury, consequently, re-
turned a verdict of 44 Not Guilty ," and the pnioner
'was discharged.
DESERTIOM or SE atitsr.—A conviction took place
at the Mansion-house, Hull, on Wednesday, under the
new Act for the regulation of apprentices in British,
vessels. The following is the clause:—
" And whereas the laws now in force for the prevention of the
desertion of persons composing the crews of merchant ships Li
foreign parts have been found ineffectual forkhat object, and fur-
ther provision is therefore necessary; be it enacted, that front and
after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
twenty-four, if any person belonging to the crew of any registered
ship we vessel shall desert from the said ship or vessel during the
absence of such ship or vessel from this kingdom, contrary to the
articles of agreement entered into with the master or other person
having chaise or command of such ship or vessel, every such per-
son so deserting shall not only forfeit whatever wage*, may be due
to him fee his services on board of theohip or vessel .front which
be may have so deserted, but shall *also forfeit whatever wages shall
be due or have been agreed to have been paid to him by or from
the owner or owners, or master or other person having the charge
or command of any ship or vessel in the service whereof such per-
son may base engaged on the voyage back to the country."
