SPORTINGANTELLIGENCE.

Tattersall's, Monday.
THE DEREtt.—A good many. horses were backed, but it will
be seen by the prices that the alterations were few and unim-
portant. Phoenix and Young Rowton stand precisely as they
did on Friday at Newmarket; while Grey Momus, who has
been progressing for the last four or five days, is drawinc, very
closely on them. Bamboo and Nonplus are also at the last
Newmarket odds, the former in much, the other in moderate
request. lon, The Early Bird, Cobham, Bullion, and D'Eg-
ville are at the old prices. Conservator's party is as small and
as sanguine as ever; 30 to 1 was taken in hundreds, and they
would have gone on had the layers of the odds been willing.

fitting out his two whaling ships, the Glenville Bay and Gam-
bier, with sui:h extra stores, both in respect to quantity and
, quality, as iu the event of being unhappily detained in the
ice, there is nu.spr,.;lmbility their crews suffering the horrors
of want. Air. Bateson's conduct is, highly honourable to him,
and must be a source of infinite comfort and satisfaction to the
families of the gallant fellows who have ventured upon the
perils of the whale, fishery in.the Arctic Seas.—Berwick Warder.
DISCOVERY OF THE DUCHESS OF LEINSTER'S JEWELS.—
The jewels of the Duchessof Leinster have been recovered in a
manner quite as singular as the way in which they were stolen.
On the day of the robbery, the caskets had been placed in the
I back drawing-room ofher grace's residence in Dublin, and in a
very different situation to which they were accustomed to be
kept. Her grace returned to town in the evening for the pur-
pose of attending a ball, when about to dress the casket was
sent for, and then the discovery was made that it had been
mysteriously stolen. The Dublin police was instantly apprised
of the fart, but on air inquiry not the least clue could be obtained
of the thief. It was thought advisable to send messengers to
the mettopolitan police, because greater facilities fur disposing
'Of such valuable booty were known to exist in London. From
every division constables were appointed to make inquiry ; and
as the same vigilance was exercised in Dublin the abstractors
of the propel tv, it was presumed-, soou became aware that it was
quite impossible to osims-e of the property without detection.
A few days ago, a Land-box, hooked at the coacb—ace in
Saekville-street, Dublin. .arrived at her grace's residence in
London. It was opened, and the contents were the missing
casket. A female was sent for who formerly lived with her
grace, and oho was presumed to know the jewels of her grace
and the casket was opened. It was fo-und to be in the same
state as when taken from the drawing-room in Dublin. The
.jewels, valued at £15.000, were all there; and it was the general
belief that the casket had not been opened since it was stolen.
'I he recovery of the jewels soon became known to the police,
but with that mystery whiiih usually attends their movements,
through a full possession of all the particulars connected with
this very renrarksble transaction, uothing to be depended upon
can be collected from that quarter. We had, however, obtain-
ed a few particulars from another source. The thief does not
-turn out to belong to that class which *as first suspected. The
party.vt ho took. them moves in a high rank, as reported; he
came to London and proceeded immediately to the continent,
fiere he is expected to remain, in order to avoid the conse-
quence of his misconducL
