SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

MANCHESTER,-TUESDAY EVENING

Several departures for Warwick reduced both the extent
and the importance of the usual morning meeting •, and those
present did not appear disposed to transact much business.
THE LEAMINGTON STAKES.—We saw 6 to 4 taken on
Iletman Platoff ; 5 to 1 on Clarion, afterwards 4 to 1 became
the top offer. A desire was evinced to lay against any other.
THE DONCASTER ST. LEGER.-5 to 4 might be considered
the outside price against Launcelot.—certainly 60 to 40 was
taken yesterday to a good sum. 54 to 1 was booked freely
on Gibraltar. 9 and then 10 to 1 has been laid, in the course
of the day, against Crucifix,—the latter figure is offered. 20
to 1 was laid against Broadwath ; the same was offered against
Maroon. 27 to 1 was offered against Dr. Caius ;• and 33 to
1 against the Young one.
THE DONCASTER CUP.--4 to 1 was offered on the field in
a very substantial quarter. Charles XII. was offered to be
taken at 5 to 4 against any other.

HINTS FOR THE RADICALS.—CoIoneI Thomson has writ-
ten a letter to the radicals, in which, after. alluding to that
profound ignorance so general amongst the working classes,
which renders them liable to be imposed upon by the specious
sophistries of self-styled " liberals" and " reformers," who
vainly imagine themselves more enlightened than their neigh-
bours, and therefore best calculated to be the great political
regenerators of the age, he advises the chartists to look keenly
after every man who ever called himself a " good reforier, '
or uttered the word tory-radical." " Depend upon it," says
the colonel, " he was one that helped to steal your pig."

GREAT WESTERN RAILW,AY.—The tenth half-yearly
meeting of this undertaking was held on Thursday week, at
the Merchants' Hall, Bristol. Mr. Charles Russell took the
chair, and congratulated the town of Bristol that, by the be-
ginning of November, they would be able to open the line as
far as Swindon, which was earlier than was expected, and
would complete ninety out of the entire length of one hundred
and eighteen miles. The report was then read. The state-
ment of the coacbing revenue to the 30th June, comprised
receipts during the three first months of the year, from 31
miles of railway, to Twyford ; during the two next months,
from 36 miles to Reading ; and during one month, from 56
miles to Steventon. The gross amount received is £89,937
9s. The number of passengers conveyed has been 378,736 ;
the aggregate number of miles travelled 7,888,293; furnishing
an average result of 1171 persons daily travelling the whole
distance. The result of the half-year showed a profit of
£46,188 Is 7d. The directors regretted the losses which
had been sustained by fire, and promised a settlement at
the
earliest possible period. The company had determined upon
leasing the Cheltenham and Great Western,the Bristol
and Exeter lines, by which they were of opinion and
inion that many
and important advantages might be ensured o this company.
The directors proposed to create 37,500 new shares of £2O
each, which would raise £750,000, offering to each proprietor
one new share at par in respect of an original share of £lOO,
or two half-shares of £5O each. Upon these shares it was
recommended that a call of £4 per share should be made, and
paying £150,000 so saised applied to
of the mortgage deben-
tures of the company,
resolution
was
oalso recommended that power
should be given, by a
fit Ate company,-to borrow
£600,000 on loan notes, Under the cowpany's seal, at interest
of five per cent. per annum, pa abli a half y rl With a cove-
nant to discharge the said loan' notes at-fiexedYperiods, either
in cash or new mortgage debentures at the option of the hold-
ers. On the motion that the report be adoped, Mr. Hcyworth
moved as an amendment, that a dividend of £3 per share be
declared, which was seconded; but on the chairman explain-
ing that the directors had thonght it more consistent with
the spirit of their act, and the good name of the company, to
apply their profits in the first instance to the payment of the
interest on their debt, that zentleman withdrew his amend-
ment, and the report was adopted. The report stated the
probability of a dividend being declared in February next. A
resolution for the creation of the new £2O shares was also
abopted. It was stated in the course of the day that the ex-
pense of working this line is at present nearly 48 per cent on
the gross revenue of the company.
