THE LIVERPOOL. STANbARD.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—THURSDAY.
So much time was occupied in comparing books, that
betting until late in the afternoon was almost at a stand-
still, and when it did commence, so fitful was it, so small
the investments, and so great the crowd, that we had some
difficulty in drawing up a list of market prices. Except in
Pam, who was sent to the right-about by a bet of 1000 to
20, no material change presented itself in the first-class fa-
vourites for the Derby ; we should state, however, that the
Libel opened at 18 to 1. and was in very slight estimation
until six o'clock ; a rush was then made to back him, and
at the closing of the doors he had regained the position as-
signed him on Monday. An improvement in Jinglepot
and the reappearance of Kedger were the only movements
in the outside division. The Oaks doings were confined
to Lady Wildair, Lancashire Witch, and Glee, whose
backers were numerous and fond." The following quo-
tations are made up to 7 o'clock :

DERBY.
7 to 2 agst John Day's lot (taken).
8 1 Forth's lot.
9 4 Lord Stradbroke's Idas.
6 1 Mr. Greville's Alarm.
7 1 Mr. Gully's Weatherbit (taken).
14 1 Mr. A. W. Hill's The Libel (taken).
18 1 Mr. Mostyn's Pantasa (taken).
20 1 Mr. Gratwicke's Doleful.
30 1 Mr. Gully's Old England.
40 1 Mr. Waller's Columbus (taken.)
40 1 Mr. Wyatt's Sister to Laundress colt.
40 1 Col. Anson's Kedger.
40 1 Colonel Cradock's Jinglepot.
40 1 Mr. St. Paul's Mentor
50 1 Mr. Ferguson's Clear-the-way.
50 1 Mr. Ford's Fuzbos (taken).
50 1 Mr. Gratwicke's The Merry Monarch.
1000 —l5 Mr. Gratwicke's Titmouse.
100 1 Mr. Coleman's Young Eclipse
200 1 Col. Peel's Cobweb colt.
OAKS.
5 1 Lord Chesterfield's Lady Vtrildair.
6 1 Mr. Worthington's Lancashire Witch.
9 1 Mr. Gulley's Maid of Orleans.
11 1 Mr. liogers's Glee (taken).
TATTERSALL'S.—FRIDAY.
Although only a by-day, the room was well attended,
and some reasonably brisk business transacted on a few of
the Derby favourites. Idas was backed for several hun-
dred pounds at 5 to 2, and Alarm for nearly a thousand
at 6 to 1, the layers having the pull in the first instance,
and the backers in the other. Weatherbit was in demand
.at 8 to 1, and Winchester at 1000 to 12 and 15, and the
lot (J. Day's) at 4 to 1 ; the investments on the whole not
heavy. Takers of 12 to 1 about The Libel, of 20 to 1
about Doleful, and of 30 to 1 about Mentor, and of 40 to
1 each about Kedger, Pam, the Merry Monarch, and Jin-
glepot Offers to take 1000 to 15 about the Cobweb colt.
Nothing of consequence done on the Oaks.

IRONMASTER DISQUALIFIED.
The adjourned meeting on this case took place on Wednes-
day afternoon, and ended in a disqualification. The fol-
lowing is the decision of the Duke of Beaufort and the
Marquis of Normanby
" It having been established by the evidence of the pre-
sent Mr. Francis Marshall that the nominations of Iron-
master for the Derby and St. Leger, though in his hand-
writing, were written by him as the amanuensis of his fa-
ther, the late Francis Marshall, whom he never knew to
write a letter himself, and were intended by both parties
to be the nominations of the father, we are of opinion that
they can only be considered the nominations of Mr. Mar-
shall, sen., and are void by his death, according to the law
and practice of the turf.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY EVENING.
During the week a very prominent feature in the pro-
ceedings has been comparing books upon the ne plus ultra
of English turf events. The absence of many influentials,
who have taken wing for the South, causes rather a som-
bre market. We give the prices of the horses in force for
THE DERBY—(ro-morrOW.)
9 to 4 agst Idas (offered)
64 1 Alarm.
- 1 - Weatherbit.
16 1 Libel.
18 1 Doleful.
20 1 Pantasa.
27 1 Clear-the-Way.
33 1 ad England.
40 1 Mentor.
40 1 Annandale.
Our humble opinion is, that, if well, and at the post,
Old England or Alarm will win ; being like many others
at sea, we may have to sing out for a life-boat or two, id
eat Doleful or The Libel.

THIS Railway is projected to continue the Line of
communication from the Terminus of the proposed
Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction
Railway at Amber Gate to Nottingham ; which by a
Junction at Nottingham with one of the proposed Eastern
Lines will complete the nearest and most direct route
from Nottingham and the Eastern Counties to Manches-
ter, Liverpool, and Holyhead, and by a junction with the
Midlands Railway, in the Parish of Sawley, by the Ere-
wash Valley, the nearest route from Lancashire and
Yorkshire to the south.
The Town and Environs of Nottingham contain a po-
pulation of upwards of 100,000 persons, extensively em-
ployed in the Cotton, Silk, and Lace Manufacture, and
this Line, by its connexion with the proposed Manchester,
Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway, will
reduce the distance upwards of seventy miles from that
important district to Manchester and Liverpool, as com-
pared with existing routes ; and the same advantage will
also be derived by the Towns of Leicester and Lough-
borough.
Independently of the great traffic which, as part of the
main trunk line from the Agricultural Districts of Not-
tinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, to the
Manufacturing Districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, it
will pass through a very populous, manufacturing, and
rich Mineral District, the local traffic from which will
alone return a fair remuneration for the capital invested.
It will also pass through the extensive Nottinghamshire
and Derbyshire Coal-field ; and by its junction with the
Midlands Railway, at Amber Gate, and its contiguity to
the Limestone and Gritstone Quarries of Derbyshire
afford an unlimited quantity of Coal, Lime, and building
Stone to a large district at present only partially and
expensively supplied with those important products.
In addition to the income to be thus derived from the
local, mineral, and Passenger Traffic, a large revenue will
accrue from the Line, considerably cheapening the transit
of Cattle, Corn, and other produce of the Eastern Agri-
cultural Counties, and also of Cotton, Silk, and other raw
materials, now brought by a circuitous dilatory and ex-
pensive route, from Liverpool and Manchester, to be used
in the staple trades of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and
Leicestershire, and the transmission of valuable manu-
factured goods to Liverpool for exportation.
The Railway will provide an easy and cheap access from
Nottingham and the Eastern part of England to Matlock,
Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth, and Haddon, and the
romantic scenery of the Peak, and by opening objects so
rich in their attraction, will beyond doubt command a
large proportion of that pleasure travelling by which ex-
isting Lines have so much benefitted.
The Proprietors of the Canals in the district through
which the line will traverse, it is confidently believed, will
amalgamate their interests upon such equitable terms as
will prove advantageous to the Shareholders in this Com-
pany.

A: preliminary survey of the Country has been made,
and it has been ascertained that the gradients are remark-
ably good, and the cost of construction not expensive.
Prospectuses, with forms of application, may be ob-
tained from Mr. SPENCER, Nottingham ; Mr. PEET,
Nottingham ; Messrs. EARP and Sox, Derby ; Mr.
ETRE, Derby ; Messrs. LEEDS and Sox, Manchester ;
