SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Mattel 20..
There has not beeri any material alteration in the odds ibong
Merchant since Monday, but there is still an inclination manifested
to back him. It is pretty certain that be is ill of the distemper, bed
aides having swelled legs—hopes are entertained that he will come
round before the day, but we do not think this is by any means
sure. In consequence of his falling off' s., Lord Exeter's lbt is
getting up—Zinganee' in particular—be baying run a good wend
to Merchant for the Prendergast; he has been backed to a good
deal of money by some of the best judges, and Is still 9n the ad=
Vance. 'There is little alteration in the other Derby horses. • The
Duke of Graften's Sister to Latimer was backed for the Oaks, by
one of the most infidendal of the betting Gentlemen, and will, net
doubt, be made a prominent favourite for the Oaks—the betting
on this Stakes WAS important. Some business was done on the
2,000g5. Stakes and Riddlesworth ; indeed the day altogether was
important. The odds closed a little after six, as follow—

The Stewards' Ordinary 'at Copp's Royal Hotel. Leamington,
was well attended, and the show of carriages upon the Course was
little inferior to that of the regular Meeting in September.

A horse, the property of Captain O'Hanion, whilst galloping the
other day in the vicinity of Cheltenham, covered. in a single bound,
the enormous distance of thirty.five feet and a half. •
PEDESTRIANISM. •
West and Sutton started on Tuesday last to walk against nth
other, for five successive days, half backwards. Sutton, however,
declined on Wednesday,on account of lameness, but West stillest'.
tinues his task with unabated vigour, as his friends have several
bets on the number of miles be will perform in the five days. He
appears in excellent condition, and feels confident of performing
260 miles In the five days,l2 hours to each day.

rags for the succeeding six months, with a donkey, in every country
town in England. He intends starting from Campden, in Glouces-
tershire.

THE FANCY.

HARRY Joins atm But. SAVAoZ—Allthe money was made good
in this match at 1)obell'3, the Bull's Bead, St. John street,
Smitb-
field, on Wednesday evening.
SCOTCII Rousou aim NT Jexantas—•Wednesday evening, at
PeterCrawicy's, a-aide was put down, for a match of ,B'ts a-side.

During the last week there were exported for Hon-
' Rear, in France, from the port of Shoreham alone, six
thousand pounds worth of British wool.
Last night, about ten o'clock, a lire broke out in the
house of Mr. LEVY, a fishmonger, in Russell-court,
Drury-lane. The fire, it is supposed, first originated in
the kitchen flue. The speedy arrival of the engines,
and the exertions of the firemen, confined the fire to the
house in which it broke out, and in a short time sub-
dued it, but not till the lower part of the premises was
destroyed.
WESTERN SHIP CANAL COMPANY.—A Meeting of
the Subscribers to the plan for cutting a Canal to ctn.
nect the English and Bristol Channels,was held yesterday
at the City of London Coffee house, Ludgate-hill, to
consider the steps necessary to be adopted to obtain in-
demnification for the losses they have sustained by the
original plan not having been carried into effect by the
Directors. Mr. BOOTH was called to the chair. A very
warm and animated discussion ensued as to the proper
course to be adopted, several Shareholders speaking
highly of the Director s, others against them, but ail being
united, however, in the regret that this undertaking had
not been proceeded with. A Committee was ultimately
appointed, and the Meeting adjourned.
