SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

(Written exclusively for the Standard.)
The great attraction in "the sporting world" during the
week, and the only turf matter of much interest was the York
Meeting, which concluded on Smurday last, with that animating
spirit which invariably characterises it. We think it unneces-
sary to give more of the meeting than the result of each race,.
with the exception of a few comments acceptable to sportsmen,
for in the first place we have not space for a column of matter,
which a full return would occupy; and iii the second, all parties
interested, from the publicity given to the return bills, will
have seen those partieuars ; suffice it then to say, that for the
Great Yorkshire Stakes, for which the third favourite for the St.
Leger, Rockingham, was the favoured one, at 6 to 4 on, for
some cause or other did not go, although-the field against him
was rather of an insignificant character. As soon as it became
known that Rockingham was not intended to run, Charmer, an
outside Leger horse became the favourite and 6 to 4 was laid
on her against the field —the prize' however, was taken by Mr.
Houldswoith's Despot by about three-.quarters of a length, and
that gentleman also proved fortunate in taking the Produce
Stakes with Trident, and walking over for the next race, thus
winning three races in one day. His Majesty's Plate was won
.by Physician, beating Tomboy, Ostrich, and President; 2 to 1
against Tomboy, and 5 to 4 againsCrhysician, seven drawn--
won by half a length. The Two Year Old Stakes were taken
by Emigrant, beating the filly by Lottery, Warlaby Barloch,
Lincroft, Mr. Powlett's two colts by Lottery, Col. Cradock's
b. c., Mr. Wynne's b. f., the Duke of Leeds' two colts by Black-
lock, Maid of Lorne, b. f. by Whisker, and Miss Margaret;
betting 2 to 1 against b. f. by Lottery, 3 to 1 against Warlabv
Barloch. and sto 1 against the rest. The One-third of the Sub-
scription of '25 Sovs. was won by Voluna, beating Trustee.
The Corporation Plate was won by Allegro beating live others.
The Thursday's Produce was won by}- the Duke of- Leed's b. c.
Lot, beating b. c. by Lottery, and Frankenstein, fifteen paid;
5t04 ou Frankenstein, 2to 1 against Lot. Mr. Stapleton's
match was off. The One-third of the Great Subscription of
25 Soya. with 20 added, was walked over for by l:
25
The Fridays Subscription was won by Voluna, beating 'I rident
and b. c. by Roiss. The Hornby Stakes were wou by Veloci-
pede, beating
, Velocity, Forrester, and b. c. by Blacklock ; 6 to
4 against Velocipede, 5 to 2 against b. c. by Blacklock, 3 to 1
against Velocity, and 3 to 1 against Forrester; won by a length
easy. The Thirty Guineas' Stake, which excited the grehtest
interest of the whole meeting, in consequence of Rockingham
and Belshazzar being entered, one of whom was expected to
run, was won by the latter, the former did not run, Boscobel
came in a gooa second, Despot third, and b. f. by Lottery
fourth. Belshazzer was ridden by flay, and took the lead
at starting, but near the graVel holes was headed by Boscobel,
who continued in that situation for a few minutes, when Bel-
shazzer again took the lead and won easy'. The Tureen Stakes
were won- by Physician, ridden by Darling, Nitocris second,
Emancipation third; Emancipation was the favourite at evens.
'The Renewed Subscription was won by Voluna, beating Trus-
tee. There was considerable betting upon the course upon the
Great St. Leger, and much business has been done since our
last upon that event, both in Manchester and other betting cir-
cles in the county, but in consequence of the principal men
being at York, very little was effected at Tattersall's on Thurs-
day. Belshazzer remains second favourite, but it does not ap-
pear that he has risen a point since winning the York Stake,
as the field was very common-place. The Wolverhampton
races commenced yesterday (Monday), but little business was
done upon them. The following is the state of the odds in
Manchester this day (Monday), NVolverhampton Stakes, 3 to 1
against Sir John, 5 to 1 against Her Highness. Cleveland
Cup, 2 to 1 against Lady Stafford, 3 to 1 against Independence.
Hoivoake Stakes, 2 to 1 against Independence, 3 to 1 against
Manchester. Great St. Leger, sto 1 against Muley Moloch,
7 to 1 against Belshazzar (freely taken), Bto 1 against Rock-
ingham, 12 to 1 against Marpesse, 13 to 1 against the Mole, 14
to 1 against the Connoisseur, 100 to. 4 against Tim, ltX) to 6
against Revenge, 1000 to 25 against New Fashion, 2000 to 66
against Giaucus, 1000 to 25 against Charmer, 1000 to 30 against
Futer. _ _

ANOTHER COUNTY SW AMFED.---We have more good news for
the .Whigs in the electioneering way. From Perthshire we
hear there is no doubt of the Conservatives- having succeeded in
obtaining • a majority in that county. Upwards of 300 new
claims have been lodged, and of these three-fourths are favour-
able to the Conservative cause. In no county of Scotland, per-
haps has the revulsion of public feeling been more decistre
than in Perthshire, The Whigs are, generally speaking, in
very bad odour; and we have the best grounds for believing
that it a new election were now to take place, Lord Ormelie
would be opposed by the.greater number of his quondam sup-
porters. But, independently of this, the Conservatives have so
largely added to their numbers, that they would be sure to tri-
umph.—Edinburgh Evening l'aq.
CHARGE OF POISONING,—Mr. Hull, a respectable farmer, of
Clackton, Essex, a widower with tour children, has been corn-
mitted: for trial ou a charge. of having.atteuipted to poison Mr.
Pyman, landlord of the 'Queen's-head, Clackton. The parties
