SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.
The attention of several of our leading turf gentlemen
seems exclusively given to, the approaching great coursing
Meeting at Chatsworth. The noble patron of the club is
expected to be present : he nominates a dog in the principal
prize. 100 to 11 is offered on the field for,the Chester Cup ;
100 to 8, bar Cowboy. The field will yet be backed against
nine. , , • ,

THE DERBY.—We have not seen• any business since 'our-
last remarks.

TATTERSALL'S-I'n unsnAy.
To report all that was done at " The Corner" to-day will
be a short and easy task, for truly the business transacted
was small enough ; its importance, however, in one material
item was too striking to be passed over. ' We allude to the
Confederate movement, which, slow at first, was so marked
throughout the afternoon, and
.so decisive at the finish, that,
after a bet of 15 to 1 in 50's against him, his friend (we speak
in the singular person) had the satisfaction of unequivocally
seeing him first favourite ; a. rise which no one could possibly
have anticipated a fortnight ago. Angelica, backed for a
trifle at 16 to 1, was head and head with Launcelot, who was
not without supporters. Theon was, nominally, at the same
price, but his partisans were non est. No direct odds were
offered against Bokhara ; but as he was backed for an even
500 against Confederate, and the same against Angelica, we
are entitled to•infer that he can scarcely be a worse favourit:
than the latter. Ottoman, at 24 to 1, was friendless, and an
offer to back Gambia (against whom 25 to 1 was laid) against
him for 500 even met with no response. Grey Milton dropt
several points, and a considerable increase on last quotation
was betted against Chameau. No other change, and nothing
dune on the Oaks.

STATE OF TRADE

TRADE AT BRADFORD.—For the last four or five months
trade has been anything but healthy or vigorous at Bradford ;
we are, however, very glad to be able to report that in cer-
tain quarters symptoms of resuscitation have appeared.—
Several mills have recommenced running longer time ; and
various woolcombers, woolsorters, &c., have in consequence
found employment. We trust the revival will be permanent
and extensive.

BARNSLEY CORN MARKET, JAN. 29,--Notwithstanding
the wetness of the day, the market was moderately attended,
but Wheat was far from being in good condition. Millers,
however, bought freely of prime samples, which realized a
little more in price than on the week previous ; but in inferior
sorts there was no alteration.. In all other kinds of grain no
variation.

Certain votaries of the/
occult sciences, says the Journal
General, have made the following cabalistic calculation. On
adding together the figures 1789, the year in which the first
French revolution commenced, they will make the sum 25,
the exact period of the duration of that revolution, which was
';t an end in 1814. By performing the same operation with
11e 5 the eary in which the counter-revolution was perfected,
theof number 15 will be produced, and give the precise dura-
the restoration. By adding together 1830, the num-
ber will be found ; but it remains to be seer; whether this
ie an equal prognostic.

RAILWAI' INTELLIGENCE.

RAILWAY PROSPECTS.
From a statement which is now before us, it appears that
there are now in England 6823 miles of railway completed
and in operation, and it is expected that in the course of the
present year 6301 miles additional will be completed, making
altogether 1313 miles of railway, which will be brought into
operation before the end of 1840. There will then remain
for subsequent 'completion in England 413 miles, the entire
number of miles for which railway acts have been passed be- •
ing 1726 miles.

The amount to be raised by calls for railway purposes dur-
ing the present year is calculated to be £5,908,500., a sum
considerably less than was called up during the past year of
depression and suffering. The amount remaining to be
called for, after 1840,_ is £3,865,000, which will complete the
capital authorized to be raised for railways in England by
acts of Parliament passed up to the close of last session.
The above statements, which we find to be tolerably accu-
rate, are encouraging to those interested in the prosperity of
railway property. As the present year progresses, the drain
for railway capital' will gradually diminish, and estimating
the cost per mile, of the 6301 miles expected to be completed
this year, at an average of £25,000, (which is beneath the
mark,) it will be perceived that a capital of £15,750,000 will
become productive by their completion. If we add to this
the fact, that in the 6821 miles stated to be completed are in-
cluded portions of Several great lines which, although now in
operation, and some of them working profitably, cannot be
expected to develop their full resources until wholly com-
pleted, we may fairly add an additional £5,000,000 to the
capital which the termination of 1840 will bring into pro-
ductiveness.

We may also mention the fact, that many of those lines
which are expected to be opened this year are junction lines,
or feeders to other great lines, the profitable working of
which will be materially increased by the additional traffic
thus brought upon them, and that upon many.of the lines
already opened the arrangements for merchandize and other
traffic have hitherto been incomplete. It is not, therefore.
too much to anticipate that the dividends upon these lines
for the present year will materially relieve the market, and
afford solid grounds of confidence to the holders of railway
property.

FROM TAMPICO.

The schooner George W. Wetter, Captain Delaville, ar-
rived from Tampico, which place she left Dec. 20th. We
have learnt, by verbal information, that 3000 government
soldiers were marching from the interior to Rio Grande,

Prom La Plata our latest news goes up to the 28th ult. and
we fear that the settlement of affairs there is far distant, as
nothing decisive had occurred. The market was full of im-
ports, for which there is no outlet, as almost all communica-
tion with the country was cut off. The blockade of Buenos
Ayres was not so strict, as the attention of the FrenCh had
been called off to Monte Video.

(From the Louisiana Courier of Dec. 27.)

FROM Rio JANEIRO.—By the brig Leander, which ar-
rived here yesterday, in the remarkable short passage of 42
days from Rio Janeiro, we learn the following particulars of
the state of things in the Brazils.
In Rio Grande, the rebels had been repeatedly beaten by
the imperial troops, acid it was thought they would soon he
forced to submit.

In the northern, or cotton growing provinces, order was
about to be restored. The city of Canis had been retaken
from the rebels.

The occupation of Oyapocko by the French, had made
quite a sensation at the Court of Rio Janeiro, and it was said
the Imperial Government was determined to resist such an
usurpation of the Brazilian territory.

The debate on Sir J. Y. Buller's motion has been
brought to a conclusion, and the division shows the
degree of estimation in which the present Ministry are
held by the House of Commons. We are " quite
satisfied" with the result. It is better even than we
ventured to anticipate, knowing as we did the desper-
ate expedients to which the Ministry had resorted for
the sake of securing a majority. The pitiable situa-
tion in which they are placed will abundantly appear
from the analysis of the division which we proceed to give.
It is with no small degree of pride that we refer to the
subjoined statements, in proof of the preponderating
strength of the Conservative interest in England and
Wales. Of the. number who voted on Friday the fol-
lowing will be found a correct analysis : •

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 31.

The market opened on Saturday with an improved demand from
the Trade and Speculators, and an advance of 4d to -I'd per lb was
obtained on American descriptions. Since Tuesday, however, the
inquiry having fallen off, and holders showing a greater disposition
to realize, prices have given way, and closed barely kd per lb higher
than last week. Brazil and Egyptian haye declined :id per lb ; East
India remain as last quoted, but heavy of sale. Speculators have
taken 3500 American, and Exporters 800 American. There have
been forwarded into the country unsold, during the month, 2000
American, 80 Pernambuco, 80 Maranharn, 100 Bahia, and 300

was a few day's since, and the price is is per cwt. lower. Belfast

MEXICO-IMPORTANT RUMOUR.

- -
. New Orleans, Dec. 25.—There is a rumour in the city that
the Texans and Federalists, under Colonel Ross, have taken
Metamoras. The Mexican strength is said to have been 3000
men—that of the invaders a thousand less,—consisting of
5000 Texans and about 1500 Mexicans of the Federal party.
The loss of the garrison of Metamoras is represented as con-
siderable. Though this is just such news as we were to ex-
pect, we have a doubt of its truth; for it is founded upon
the arrival at Mobile of the schr Chippole, on Saturday last,
from Vera Cruz ; while the Chronicle of that day, the even-
ing paper, does not contain a line of rumour, report, or as-
sertion, upon matters relating to Mexico.

FALL OF METAMORAS, CONFIRMED !
(From the N. 0. Bee, Dec. 31.)
By the arrival of the brig Samuel, Houston, from Mata-
gorda, which port she left the 27th inst. certain intelligence
of the capture of the town of Matamoros, by the Federalists
and volunteers from Texas, had been received. The siege
commenced on the 12th inst. and lasted three days, during
which there is said to have been great slaughter on both
sides-60 to 90 of the Texians, alone, being killed.
After the place had surrendered, the officers of the Cen-
tralist party were permitted to depart for the interior withou
molestation—private property, in all cases, being respected'
when the government troops and the inhabitants of the town
proclaimed in favour of the Federalists, greeting the raising
in the city of their flag with long, loud and defening cheers.

TO ELIZA M. N

(For the Liverpool Standard)
I ride on the curl of the dancing spray ;
I ride on the foam, where the waterfowl play ;
I ride on the surge of the swelling sea ;
And my home is the ocean—the home of the free !
The laugh of the tempest, and roar of the gale,
That sweep with destruction the bill and the dale,
But serve to enhance with a holier zest
The excitement that glows in the mariner's breast.
Though short-lived and empty our pleasures may seem,
As the waves of a lake 'neath the summer sun's beam ;
Yet, sweet in exist pee. and rapt'rous in birth,
They more than ornalance the pleasures of earth.
When clouds with their blackness o'ershadow the sky,
And nought but a wild foaming waste meets the eye;
When over the top of the storm-riven flood,
Our bark with her airy wings chases the scud ;
To stand 'mid the hurricane's roar on the deck,
And calmly command 'mid the waters' white wreck ;
0 ! where upon earth is there any such bliss ?
0 ! where is the happiness equal to this?
There is yet a joy beyond all I have told,
Worth oceans of coral-grotes, pearl-beds, and gold,
In the kiss and the smile, and the glowing embrace,
That welcome the rover's return from the chase.
Then wake thee, Eliza! 0 wake thee, my love!
And speed from your bow'r, dear, swift as the dove ;
For e'en ere the morning dawn, courting the breeze,
Your lover must hasten to roam o'er the seas.
I woo not like landsmen, with words fair and sweet,
Whose promises, light as the driving scud, fleet ;
But I woo with that ardour a mariner knows,
Whose soul with attachment and interest glows.
Then awake thee, Eliza! and hasten with me,
And to-morrow we'll roam o'er the boundless sea;
Where apart from this world, and apart from its guile,
We'll live in affection and love's beaming smile.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Nov. 16.
Our Butter market continues in a very unsatisfactory state as to
demand, but we do not quote prices any lower than on Friday.
Holders of pickled Butter permit the currency of that article still
to remain nominally at 925. There are no transactions worthy of
notice in Beef and Pork ; and if anything, we should say that
Bacon is again the turn cheaper.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 16.
The supply of the best Beef and Mutton has to-day been smaller
than on this day week, the demand good, and in some instances
higher prices were obtained, the supply of meat of the second
and lower qualities were much the same in number as on this day
week, the prices firm, and in some instances a trifling advance was
obtained. Prime Beef fid, middling Sid, inferior 5d to aid. The
best Wether sheep made tild, fair 6ad ; good Ewes 6d, middling and
interior Sid to sd. Number of Beasts, 1448 ; Sheep, 4561.

THE COTTON TRADE.

There is very little doing in cotton at any of the leading
ports. In the Atlantic ports the purchasers are waiting for
the further accumulation of the stock before operating. In
the southern ports, the orders from abroad, particularly from
France, are limited at prices below the views of holders, who
pretend to place great reliance on the shortness of the grow-
ing crop. At Mobile the prices are one cent higher than at
other ports, and the speculators throughout the south seem to
be actuated by the same fallacious ideas that led to the dis-
astrous speculations of 1839. The mere fact that the crop of
1839 was less than that of 1838 was made the basis of a rise,
without considering that the crop of 1838 might have been
superabundant, as turned out to be the fact. The crop of
1840 was 2,173,000 bales, and it is generally allowed that the
growing crop will be 1,900,000 bales, or 100,000 bales larger
than the immense crop of 1838 ; and yet because it will be
300,000 bales less than last year, dealers are speculating for
a rise. Their hopes are based, in a great measure, upon the
large quantities taken for consumption in Liverpool this year.
The probability is, that spinners laid in their stocks when
prices were low, in anticipation of a return of activity. This
has not taken place. The exports of yarns and goods from
England have been unusually small, an indication of which
is the low state of exchange on the continent. If, therefore,
there is a continuance of peace, and the crop does not go
above the lowest estimates, there is but little probability of a
rise in prices. The following is a comparative table of the
two last crops, with an estimate on the most accurate data of
the growing crop.

CORN TRADE.
Within the past week flour has advanced fully a shilling a
barrel. Sales of Western brands take place at 5 dollars to 5
dollars 42 cents. Small shipments only are making. The
receipts are fair, and the stock in the city is accumulating for
the winter wants, but not very rapidly. From present indi-
cations the arrivals from the west and north, for the re-
mainder of the season, will not be very great—not much
larger than last year.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY

The appeal of Madame Laffarge is to come on before the
Court of Cassation next Friday week. The grounds of ap-
peal to be urged by her counsel are seventeen in number.—

Galiyitani

The Comnzerce states, that a few days after the installa-
tion of the present cabinet, Marshal Soult sent an officer to
Alexandria for the purpose of impressing on the mind of the
Pacha of Egypt the necessity of not exceeding the limits of
simple defence, if he desires that France should interfere in
his favour to induce the other tour great powers to grant to
him the hereditary government of Egypt; and, informing
him, that in the event of his assuming the offensive, the
French government will abandon him to his fate. The same
officer, adds the Manterce, takes with him the letters of re-
call for Mr. WalewskY.

We quote the following from the 2Tcho of Luxemburg :
" An able chemist of Luxemburg. who is at the same time a
distinguished physician, with whom we have conversed on
the affair of Madame Laffarge, has made us acquainted with
a fact which we think it right to make public. He has sub-
mitted to chemical analysis different qualities of paper, and
has found in pieces, not larger than the palm of the hand, a
quantity of arsenic as great as that extracted from the body
of M. Laffarge. Hence it results, that any person who has
the habit of masticating paper, or one who may only chew a
piece occasionally, must absorb a certain quantity of arsenic.
The presence of arsenic in paper is thus accounted for.
Nearly all kinds of paper are in part made of coloured rags,
the dyes of which arc, for the most part, produced by pre-
parations into which much arsenic is introduced, and a por-
tion of which must remain in the composition of the paper."
