SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

It bas been determina by the Jockey Club at -Newnsarke%
that all Racing-bets madc attar Epsom Races neat year, shall be
in Am**, instead at Guineas.

BOXII4O. ,•.
Monday, an immense concourse of petibbs 4om Bath, Bristol,
and their respective neighbourhoods, enagrEtated at SaWord, to
witness a prize-fight between two pugilists, named Hazel and
Illoredluod. The vigilance of the Magistracy, however, prevented
the consummation of their wishes, wben the win& multitude
moved on to Bitton, where a subscription was collected from
the mobility to make a purse, with the contents of which one of
the heroes slunk away without gratifyiog his patrons with an
exhibition of his science; and the other hero, being detected in
the act of absconding, was roughly handled by the disappointed
and enraged spectators. The sports of the day concluded With
a bull-bait.

On the 27th ult. an Inquest was held at Mildenhall,
on John Harris, who had eaten some honey from the
honey-comb, when a bee concealed in it getting into
his throat; he almost immediately died from suffoca.
tion.—On the 29th, in the same parish, on Mary Ba-
con (an infant), who fell with her face downwards
upon some slacked lime, a particle of which getting
into her windpipe, produced inflainmation of the
lungs, of which she died. Verdkt in each case—
Accidental Death.

Monday an Inquest watt held at Dover, before
HENSHAW LATHAN, Esq. Mayor and Coroner, on
the body of Richard Rowbottom, who, report stated,
had died from blows he received from another boy ;
but after a minute investigation, which included the
evidence of a Surgeon, the Jury returned a verdict—
Died by the Visitation of GOD.
Saturday, an Inquest was held at the Bull's Head,
Dean-street, Soho-square on the body of an elderly
man, named WILD, who, on the preceding day,
called to see his sister, who resides in Swallow-street.
Cln taking leave of her, he said—" I shall call and
see you again next week." He walked a few paces,
then shrieked very loud, and fell on his face. A person
ran up to him, and found him a corpse. Vetdictr-
Died by Me visitation of Goo.
An Inquisition was held on Saturday, at Green-
ford, near Harrow, on the body of a person named
FIELD, who, when in a state of apparent good health,
fell down and expired. Verdict—Died by the visita-
tion of GOD.
Friday, a poor man, out of employment, fell down
dead in Clerkenwell-close, near Clerkenwell-green.
The deceased had been without food two days, and
a humane inhabitant gave him a roll, which he ate
voraciously, and immediately afterwards expired.
Yesterday morning, a Mr. BRIASER was found
dead in a green-house belonging to a Gentleman of
fortune at Hendon. It appeared that the deceased
went into the green-house on Saturday night, and
having made a large fire, he fell asleep, and the
effluvia arising from the embers produced suffocation.
Information of the circumstance was sent to Mr.Svilt•
1.1540 the Coroner, who has appointed an Inquest to
be held on the body to-morrow.

A mcst shocking accident happened on Saturday
seinnight: a little boy, aged nine years, ton of Mr.
Barton, butcher, of Shipbourne, who was carrying a
quart glass bottle of beer to a field a short distance
from home, tripped against a stone, and, falling on
the bottle, it cut open his side, from whence protruded
his bowels, and the poor little sufferer survived only
two hours.

Tuesday night, between five and six o'clock as a
young man, named Alexander Bury, about nineteen
years of age, was engaged in adjusting one of the
straps belonging to the steam-engine in Messrs. Ha-
worth and Pomfret's spinning factory, near Mount-
street Chapel, Leeds, his hand got entangled, and his
body was immediately dragged into the machinery,
and literally crushed to pieces. The mangled corpse
of the unfortunate youth presented a most appalling
sight—not a vestige of wearing apparel was left ou
it but a part of the waistcoat and shirt.

Wednesday, Mr. John Wood, butter-dealer of Leeds,
and Catherine Walmsley, his niece, a young woman
of about 18 years of age, were killed by the over-
turning of a cart in which they were returning from
Knaresborough market. Early on Wednesday morn-
ing they left Leeds, and after transacting their busi-
ness at Knaresborough, quitted that place in the
evening. About ten o'clock at night they were seen
at Halewood, and two hours afterwards a waggoner,
who was travelling from thence to Leeds, observed a
cart overturned on the road, near Atwoodley-gates.
Ills first impression was, that the driver of the cart
had gone to obtain assistance, but hearing nothing of
him, he became alarmed, and called at a house on
the road to beg that they would accompany him to
the place where he had seen the cart. With this re-
quest they readily complied, and on removing the
packages, they beheld with horror Wood and his
niece lying stretched upon the road, and both of them
quite dead ! Four years ago, a cart which he was
striving on the same road was overturned, and a
young woman, who had then the misfortune to be in
his service, was thrown out and killed upon the spot.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—Last Monday afternoon,
a heart-rending accident happened at Leith :—Two
carts, belonging to Mr. CAMPBELL, brewer, in Edin-
burgh, were sent down loaded to Leith, and a porter,
stationed at the }lad of the Canongate, :tamed James
Lamb, was engaged to assist the dtayman. When
passing along the shore, near the new draw-bridge,
Lamb perceived a child in imminent danger of being
rode over by the hindmost cart, and instantly sprung
forward to save it, in doing which the shaft of the
cart struck him, he was thrown down, and the wheel
passed right over his breast : it was at the time
loaded with three hogsheads of porter, weighing
nearly half a ton. The unfortunate man was imme-
diately conveyed to an adjoining house, where he
breathed his last in about ten ;minutes. The only
words ha uttered were, " In saving the life of a child
I have lost my own r On the body being removed
to Edinburgh, and previous to conveying it into the
dwelling of his family, a person went to prepare his
wife for the distressing intelligence; but no sooner
had he intimated that a misfortune had befallen her
husband, than the unhappy woman, rushing out, met
those who were employed in carrying his remains.—
The shock which her feelings sustained it is impos-
sible to describe : she sunk down in a swoon, and it
was long ere she could be recalled to life, and a know-
ledge of the full extent of her misfortune. Lamb was
a very stoat man, above the middle age, and bore a
good character. By his death two children a:e lett
fatherless.
