BETTINGS AT TATTERSALL'S.

January 26, 1843. CHANGES of vast importance to the "backers of horses" have taken place in the Derby betting since we sent out our last report. First and foremost, the admirers of A British Yeoman were panic struck on the 19th, by the extreme anxiety manifested in two or three important quarters to bet against their pet: after 8 to 1 had been betted to some £400 or £500, 9 to 1 in hundreds was laid, and this followed up by offers to bet 12 to 1 to almost any amount! On the 23d, things took a very different turn, for after 8 to 1 had been faid in one or two instances, an "influential” offered to take those odds to a large amount, but no one seemed inclined to go beyond 15 to 2. To-day he was very steady at 8 to 1, and the layers rather cautious.-Murat, as we all along predicted, has come again: two of the leading men have backed him to a large amount during the month, and we quite expect him to be points better when we are called upon to next notice him.-Aristides, thanks to a strong commission from Scotland, has got to 23 to 1 in the betting; we doubt much whether he will keep his position long. He is by no means the animal on which we should be lavish of our Derby money.-Of Scott's lot, Napier alone has been in real request, and at the moment of our writing we cannot place him lower in the odds than 25 to 1. Cotherstone, Dumpling, and Mahomet have been occasionally mentioned, but the Progress colt, Parthian, Baldersdale, Prize Fighter, and Auld Lang Syne have been entirely deserted by their backers. He must be a "lucky Gentleman" who can hit upon "Scott's favorite" at this remote period: we expect great "changes" in the betting amongst this lot during the coming month.-John Day's lot is terribly in the back ground, 30 to 1 being currently offered, and only the Monimia colt backed!-The same mystery continues to prevail respecting Mr. Bell's two we should say "couple them."-A new favorite has started up in Mr. Combe's Fakeaway, an Irisher (in Rogers's Stable at Newmarket), who has been made responsible for a large sum, and will pay his backers if they hedge, as he must see a better position in the odds.-The secret of the Epsom Stable has not transpired; we, however, still lean to Siricol.-Of the outsiders the following have been in the most demand of late:-The Brewer, Cataract (the Oxygen colt), the Languish colt, the Mercy colt, Newcourt, and the Birdlime colt.

We have nothing new to communicate on the Oaks betting, save the introduction of two or three new fillies into the market.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

WE respect highly the motives of J. O. N., but have no room for his paper. We fully believe in the cruelties perpetrated at the yards of certain of the London knackers, and the facilities they afford for horse-stealing. We wish, with our Correspondent, some stringent law were established to enforce humanity where most needed, and that the painful existence of that "noble animal" were, after a fitful and toilsome life, otherwise regulated than by the demand for horse-flesh.

The engraving of the Bedale Hunt shall be noticed in our next.

In May 1810, Major Murray's b. m. Miss Longlegs walked over for a Sweepstakes at the Isla de Leon Races; and several Matches also came off on the same day. This will suit "A Pony," and he may forthwith demand the tin.

Miss Coiner was running in 1806 and afterwards, but if "T. B." want any further information, he can purchase the Number of our Magazine in which her performances appear.

J. T.'s article has been returned to him.

O. P.-"Let every herring hing by its ain head." Surely he would not have us answer for the sins of others! Besides, we disposed of the imputation long ago.

DIARY OF SPORT WITH HER MAJESTY'S HOUNDS.

Jan. 23.-Hillingdon; an immense Field, including the Noble Master, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, several Officers from Windsor Barracks, and a long list of Gentlemen and Yeomen.-Uncarted "Snowdrop" at the back of Hillingdon Park; went across the Park towards Uxbridge Common, then headed back, leaving Mr. Clarke's residence to the right, nearly to Ickenham village, where a short check occurred; then off again for Pole Hill, crossing thence to Westend, leaving the East country to the right, then off direct for Northolt in the direction for Greenford, crossing the Grand Junction Canal, on for Appleton, by Perivale, to Castlebar, across Ealing Haven to the Common, where it was taken after a fast gallop of an hour and three-quarters, the last five-and-thirty minutes without a check. The country was very heavy, and though a goodish number, including the Earl of Rosslyn and Lord Adolphus, were up at the finish, many of their prads had evidently had quite enough.

Jan. 25.-The Golden Ball, Bracknall, and a Field of about 150, including the Noble Master and most of the rig'lars.-Uncarted the deer "Shepherd" near the Shoulder of Mutton Toll-gate; made away for Easthamstead Park, the seat of the Marquis of Downshire, then headed back across the Oakingham and Bracknall road, and over some rough country to Sam Day's, on to the Warren House, then in the direction of Oakingham, leaving the town to the left, on to Arborfield, and thence in the direction of Lodden Bridge; headed back to Hurd, then taking to the right of the Church, on to Billingbear Park, the seat of Lord Braybrooke, making for Sherlock Row, when they came to a short check, to ease both deer and hounds. After a few minutes, made away to Brick-bridge at increased speed, crossing the woods to White Waltham, on the left of the Church to Hare Park, then crossed the Great Western Railroad to Maidenhead Thicket, pointing for the town, and was run in to and secured at Byrne Hill, near Maidenhead, after a most capital run of two hours and twelve minutes, over at least twenty-four miles of very heavy country. The severity of the pace during the early part of the run compelled many to tail off, and considerable weeding took place after the check, so that the party up at the termination was more than usually select, and even they seemed to have had quite enough.

Jan. 27.-Chertsey Bridge, and a strong Field of nearly 200, including several Officers of the 8th Hussars from Hounslow Barracks. Uncarted an untried deer near Laleham, which made direct through the grounds of Colonel Wood at Littleton, crossed the Common, doubled back to Ashford, across Colonel Wood's preserves, on to the Stag and Hounds near Sunbury Common, whence leaving the Prince Albert Inn to the right and Feltham-hill on the left, headed back to the hill, then at a good hunting pace to Hanworth Park palings, passing through the village of Feltham, leaving the Church to the left, on to
