SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BITTINO.ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, MAT 4.
The betting was to day chiefly on the principal favourites for the
Derby, many of whom were backed to a considerable amount.—
The first three—The General, Panic, and The Moslem—were
speculated on largely, and it would be bard to say which of the lot
was first. We are inclined, however, to give the General the call.
The Moslem has been rising since Monday, and to day 13 to 1 was
taken. at which odds he left off. Truth (Mr. 0. Pewlett's c. by
Canoe) bids fair to become a favourite: he is down at Epsom,
and is said to be a horse of good promise. There was nut moth
said et the Oaks and St.-Leger. The betting on the latter Stakes
will be materially affected by the York Spring Meeting, which
commences on Monday week, and will be very important.
