SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

MANCHESTER TURF REPORT.—FRIDAY NIGHT.
Very little doing either here or in London; indeed, we
can scarcely hazard a quotation for the Chester Trades-
men's Plate, the experience of past years making the
backers of horses shy until they see the entry ; and pre-
bably the very " safe ones" will wait for the acceptance-
Rattan (advertised for a stallion, to stand at Catterrek
Budge), was backed on Saturday at 1000 to 15 ; and
Lancashire Witch on Tuesday at 100 to 1. During the
week 500 to 7 was offered against Wolf Dog ; and the
same against Winesour, Hope, The Baron, Ould Ireland,
and one or two others. 100 to 1 each have been taken
about Pythia, Prince Royal, Ithuriel, Mickey Flee, The
Era, and Connaught Ranger.
For the Derby betting we refer our readers to the
" doings at the Corner."

A MODERN NIMROD.—The following extract from ae
letter from the Highlands may be interesting to some °`
our sporting readers. Sporting matters there are eon'
ducted on a large scale. The writer, a Sussex man, saYs
—" I have the care of about fifteen couple of deer-
hounds, and six couple of pointers, setters, terriers, &a'
—in all about twenty-two couple. The establishment
consists of eighteen servants, about twenty-two couple clir
dogs, and five horses. The master of it is a son of slr
Ralph Gore, of Brunswick-square, Brighton, and be Is
the finest and boldest sportsman I ever saw. He llas
killed about thirteen stags—four of them royal stags--a
noble class, with peculiar antlers, of which he is deservedly
proud. It is a wild spot (in Rossshire), more than nine
miles from any town, and nothing but mountains and
rivers, and the natives speak nothing but Gaelic. Here
indeed is the right kind of sport, which demands some
privations ; but then ensure! Four royal stags ! Ab'
that is sportt "

DISCOVE RY OF ruE REMAINS OF WILLIAM EARL VS
WARREN, AND GUNDRERA HIS WIFE, DAUGHTER Of
WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR.—On Tuesday week, BS the
workmen employed by the Brighton, Lewes, and Hart:
ings Railway Company were removing the earth in t"
Priory grounds at Lewes, their progress was arrested bY$
stone ; on the removal of which they discovered two CI
or coffers, side by side. On the lid of one was the W.
" Gundreda," perfectly legible, and on the other "
helm." On removing the lids, the remains appeared de
be quite perfect, and the lower jaw of William Earl c,l°
Warren in extraordinary preservation. The cits
which the bodies were deposited were not more than thre;
feet in length, and about two feet wide—and there is
II
doubt that the bodies had been removed from some Piti
and reintered ; and, accordingly, the tradition is, t"':i
William de Warren and Gundreda his wife, were reintere..o
ye
about trio hundred years after decease. The relics f
removed to Southover Church,—in which there is a ,
ancient tablet to the memory of " Gundreda;" and it '
intended to place the remains near this tablet.
