TATTERSALL'S.-TUESDAY

S.Nurthaniptil 89 €6 ..

A considerable portion of the afternoon was occupied in
settling for the first day's racing at Newmarket.; many spe-
culators, however, did not take the trouble to settle either in
person or by agent, so that their accounts are likely enough
to stand over till the spring; great complaints were made on
this neglect. Several hots ae:e made on the Derby; Acce-
llerator, Erin•go-Bragh, and Zimmerman were in request,
but Epidauris fell back several points, and 4 to 1 was bet
against the whole lot. The only change in the favourites
was in Westonian and Flambeau, against whom there were
plenty of offers.. The room closed as follows:-
4 to 1 against Scott's lot—taken.
10 to 1 Ld Jersey's Brother to Bay Middleton,ofnl
17 to 1 Lord -Jersey's interim—taken.
17 to 1 Mr. Wrenn-$:1'8 Westonian—offered
18 to 1 Duke of Rutland's Flambeau—offered.
25 to 1 Sir G. Heathcote's lot—taken.
30 to 1 Mr. Bowes' Accelerator—taken. •
33 to 1 Lord Chesterfield's Bloomsbury.
3.3 to 1 Colonel Anson's Zimmerman—taken.
33 to 1 . Mr. Allen's Fitz-Ambo—taken.
35 to 1 Mr. Bowes' ltrin-go-Bragh —taken:

503 even on Fitz-Ambo against Eptdaarus—taken.

the Commodore ; and the Caine against Brother to
Bay Middleton, Deception, and The Commodore, for
three events—taken.

CLITHEPoE STEEPLE CHASE.—This chace, from the well-
known celebrity of the horses and the numerical extent of

instant. For the sweepstakes of 5 sous each, for horses. B:c.,

NEW lux .-A Chicago paper states that the fever and
ague is becoming so prevalent out west, that the settlers are
straining their wits to turn its movements to some useful pur-
pose. Among other projects, it has been estimated that the
shaking of twelve men would.propel a boat of ICU tons. •If
this is correct. the days'of steam are numbered.
Disc ItACEFUL Patzi FlGHT.—Another of these disgrace-
ful exhibitions took .place last week on the borders of Buck-
inghamshire and Oxfordshire, between a notorious pagilist
named Flannan, and a novice called Walker. After the
men had knocked each other about for more than an hour
to the infinite gratification of a large crowd of thieves and
other ruffians, the "sport" Was interrupted by the arrival of
two magistrates; but these gentlemen, instead of taking the
offenders into custody, merely compelled them to move into
the adjoining county, where the fight was renewed, and lasted
another hour. Both the blackguards were dreadfully dis-
figured, especially Walker, the loser of the fight; scarce a
feature of his face could be seen from the battering which it
had received.

ANGLESEY REGISTRATION.—The North Wales Chronicle,
in support of the assertion which it made about a week ago,
that Mr. Edward John Stanley's brother bad, like himself,
received notice to quit his seat in parliament, says, " We
have pleasure in presenting our readers with the subjoined
statement of the comparative strength of parties in Anglesey,
the result of the last registration ; and should any constitu-
encies falter in their progress to, or lose sight of, the goal to
which-Conservatism directs their steps, let us point out to
them the bright example of Mona's sons, and bid them go
and do likewise.

THE MunnEa NEAR GLOSSOP.—We noticed in the Gear.
diets of Saturday last, the fact of the apprehension of a man
On suspicion of being concerned in the atrocious murder
committed on Wednesday morning, at Cold Harbour, near
Glossop. The coroner's jury. at the inquest on Friday morn-
ing, returned a verdict of wilful murder against some per-
son or persons un known. Blocksage was theiefore discharged
from custody, together with another man who had been ap-
prehended. The body remained without being identified
until Saturday evening, when three men who came to view
it (having heard the description of the deceased) stated that
they knew the body to be that of a man named Thomas
Manning, or Manain. an Irish labourer, recently employed
on the North Midland Railway. Upon hearing this, Mr.
Sheppard, the constable, on Monday morning, went to Ro-
therham, and found out where the deceased had lodged. He
was informed that the deceased had been persuaded to leave
his work on the railway ; and he would probably have about
twenty-five shillings in his possession. He went off in com-
pany with a man named Michael Mooney, about 40 to 45
Years of age, rive feet six or seven inches high, stout, with a
boil on the right cheek, and a tooth wanting in front. Mooney
wore a black woollen hat, dark ground round jacket, knee
breeches, dark grey stockings, and strong shoes. A public
meeting of the inhabitants of Glossop was covened for Mon-
day evening, for the purpose of offering a suitable reward for
the apprehension and conviction of the party or parties con-
cerned.in the murder. Owing to some negligence, the Man-
chester, police had received no official intelligence of the
murder.- Manning is stated to have been native of Crooken
Hill, near Philip's Town, King's county Ireland.—Mon-
chester Gucirdian.

"Slll,-1 take the liberty of writing to give you an account
of a vessel I saw on the 251 h of Oct., about half way between
the Spurn and the Dudgeon light vessel. At 9 A.m. saw the
vessel's mast and gaff ends, supposed to be a steam-boat, as
the mast was so much smoke-dyed, and the floating wreck
about 20 minutes after. Be so good as to notice this in your
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.
"I remain, yours,
JAS. MOAT, master of the Trent."

We have taken the trouble, whenever an opportunity has
presented itself, of noting, down the actual details, and shall
now offer to our readers a general view of these results, as
far as they are worth reporting.
For there arc many counties and many boroughs, let it be
borne in mind, respecting which there can he ❑othing to re-
port. More than half the counties of England are now no
longer the arenas of political contest. In South Derbyshire,
for instance, South ShrOpshire, East Norfolk, South Essex,
North Lancashire, Westmoreland, Oxfordshire, Notting-
hamshire, Leicestershire, East Kent, and several other
counties, in which the conservatives are in quiet possession,
nothing of the least consequence has been transacted. The
radi s and whigs have resigned themselves to their fate;
and the whole business of the registration has subsided into
mere routine. In one or two other cases they have been
active, but without any important result. They claim in the
county of Huntingdon, an advantage of about 100 by this
registration. They were in a minority at the last election of
nearly 400. In North Shropshire they also claim a small
advantage, without, however, having the smallest chance of
gaining even one seat. In the boroughs they have better
luck; but the drawing on their gains here is, that they merely
triumph in a few select places, which were constructed to be,
and always will be, Whig or Whig-radical preserves. At
ksliton, for instance, and at Manchester and Huddersfield,
they have profited slightly by the registration. At Liverpool
and at Preston neither patty gained anything of the least
consequence. In the great boroughs, such as Birmingham,
Finsbury, Lambeth, the Tower Hamlets, the registration bad
no: results whatever, as far as the character of the consti-
tuency was concerned. Let us now, however, proceed to
state such results as may appear to be worth putting down,
beginning with the
