SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

( From our own Correspondent.)
The admirers of that peculiar delight to the British sportsman,
horse-racing, have every prospect of enjoying a high sporting
treat this week at the Holvweli Hunt meeting, which commenced
yesterday, with an interest attached to it, apparently far greater
than in former years. The entry for the stakes upon which that
class of professionals termed " round betters" snore especially
speculate upon (the Mile) tookplace.last, evening at Holywelt.
There was no possibility of receiving, it prior to the time of pub-
lication, otherwise we should have given it ; no doubt, however,.
is entertained that amongst "the field" will be found the best
horses now in Holy Well, viz. the Chancilor, Perseverance, Bircb.
catcher, Her Highness, Jack Faucett, Diana; and Trepidation.
Perseverance and the Chancellor remain stationary in the odds,
each aspiring for precedence, and equal favourites, but for choice
the
.fortner seems to be fancied, as in several instances he has
been backed at evens, and shillingS given for guineas. From the
faciiity and cheapness ofeonveyauce by steamers, this celebrated
Cambrian course is to Le honoured by a large assemblage
of visitors, as well from Lancashire and Cheshire as N orth Wales.
As early as yesterday morning, several batches of perceptions,
by some called knowing ones, were wending their way to the
well, for the purpose oe gaining thefirsi intelligence oldie entry
and other matters, an:l concerning the health, condition, &c. of
the horses, in order to- disseminate the u-,eful knowledue at the
earliest possible period to Weir friends. at home. After the
races, the sports of the week will be wound up by a grand con=
cert, for which occasion vocal and insirtunental. performers are
engaged both from Cuester and Liverpool, including a portion
of Mr. Stubbs 's Royal Liverpool Herinonic Band, winch so
pleasingly accoinpanied the quadrilles and waltzes in the small
room at the Fancy Ball.

The Epsom October meeting, which opened on Wednesday
concluded on Thursday; the spot is were plentiful, the stakes of an
improvedorder,and the general managcm:.nt appears to have been
of a nature calculated to give complete satisfaction, although we
regret to say that trout some cause or other the attendance was
by no means so great as at former meetings. As the returns have
been so copiously given in the London papers, and every sports-
man being by this time acquainted with the resu,ts to furnish
return would be a mere incutubrance to the reader.
The Newmarket Second October meeting commenced on
Monday, with a good list, and fair sport is anticipated.

STATE OF TRADE.
The demand for woollen clotHs in the Leeds markets con-
tinues steady, and wools have a tendency to advance in price.—
Leeds Intelligencer.
Bradtbid -Market on Thursday was not quite so brisk as last
week. Three-quarter merinos sold well, and at a slight im-
provement. Nulls also obtained an advance. Wool still con-
tinues firm.

Halifax Market last Saturday was brisker than it was on the
Saturday preceiing, and the goods sold in many eases brought
advanced prices. In the price of wow, too, there was a consi-
derable improvement.
Huddersfield Market on Tuesday was rather flatter than
usual; the demand for superfine broad cloths was exceedingly
limited, and prices inerely•nominal. In the lower descriptions
of woollen cloths there was nearly an average quantity of bu-
siness done, though the advance demanded by the manufac-
turers, on account of the rise in wool, operated materially iu
restrictin,, the merchants in buying.
At Rochdale riannal Market on Monday but little business
was done, except in low goods. Middle and fine qualities were
very little asked for. Some of the buyers offered less money;
but the manufacturers teenn determined to stand out rather than
sell at reduced prices. •

THE EGYPTIAN FLEET.—On the 18th of July the Horns, a
ship of 100 guns, was launched at Alexandria. The Pacha,
who was present, expressed the most lively satisfaction at this
new proof of the activity of his chief engineer, Carisy Bey.
The Dacha's fleet now consists of seven ships, seven frig ,
ates
five corvettes, and eight brigs.—Le Moniteur r Egypt.
There are at this moment seven hundred and ninety-five fac-
tories for spinning cotton-yarn in the United States; the amount
of capital employed in them is &bout eight million pounds ster-
ling, and their consumption of raw cotton amounts to seventy-
eight trillions of pounds weight.
MictrAßY Pt Ni lIMaNT.—On Thursday afternoon se'nnight, •
a private, named Thomas Kelly, belonging to the Eighth
Hussars, at present stationed in 'Gloucester, was drummed out
of the regiment with every'mark of ignominy and disgrace.
The regiment having been marched down to the guard-room;
and being there formed into a hollow square, the prisoner was
called forth, and in the presence of his comrades, a long cata-
logue of offences committed by him, commenced in 18.3, and
carried progressively up to the present period, was read over to
him, concluding with the sentence for his last crime (stealing a
pair of trousers from a comrade), which was, after suffering
two months' imprisonment, to be ignominiously expelled the
regiment. He was then ordered to take off his cap and jacket,
for which old habiliments of the same sort, but without facings,
were substituted, and the lace having been torn off-his trowsers,
he was ordered, in custody, into the rear of the troops, and
thus marched beyond the limits of the city on the Bristol road.
Here the troops halted, and forming into two lines, the prisoner
was conducted up the centre, accompanied by six trumpeters,
playing the rogues' march. On reaching the head of the
column the Adjutant gave him his written discharge, and the
guard falling back, he was laft to pursue his course wherever
he chose.

Mit. GALT.—It wit! yield this gentleman's friends in this
quarter—and they are many—much satisfaction to learn, after
the gloomy accounts so recently given of the state of his health,
that it has experienced a most favourable and unlooked-for
change. A letter from Old Brompton, dated on Tuesday last,
and written with his own hand, was received here this evening;
it concludes thus :—" It will give von pleasure to hear that, by
au excursion to the country, I have been so restored to the en•
joyment of health as to be quite a wonder. My infirmities con-
tinue, and I write this srartely able to see; but I am as one
cured by a miracle. You wilt discern the change by this speci-
men."—Greenock Advertiser,
