felt at the Canary Islands on the 27th May, at 17 minutes
past two p.m., the oscillation being from north to south.
It was repeated on the 28th, at a quarter before 12 at

A HINT..—It is not generally known that the leaves of

skin is rubbed off, and other wounds of that kind. One

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY

The settling on the Northumberland Plate has been an easy
one for the bookmakers, although some parties laid a
portion of their books against Kingston soon after the weights
were published; and, on the day of the race, he was backed by
a few in Manchester. In other respects he has been little
heard of, and was looked upon as a non-starter; consequently
the public generally are great losers. During the afternoon, a
few investments were made upon the Liverpool Cup and Good-
wood Stakes—Daniel O'Rourke for the former, and Little Harry
for the latter, being most in demand. West Australian was
steady at evens for the ;5.,. Leger. Latest betting
