English Sporting intelligence. Tak Recent Winner oF THE Dersy.—Tue Runsine Rein Casg —The very interesting case, Wood vs Peel, known as the Running Reia case, and which has beea looked forward to with the greatest interest in the sporting world, caine on for trial oa the Ist and 2ad inst., 1a the Court of Ex. chequer, before Baron Alderson and a special jury For some time before the sitting of the Court all its avenues were surrounded by visitors, who filled itimmediately atter the opening of the doors. Se- veral noblemen and gentlemen, many of whom are well known in the sporting circles, sat by his Lord- ship on the bench. ‘Che circumstances are well known. The horse Rusoing Rein, the property of Mr. Wood, came in first in the celebrated Derby race, but the stakes were withheld irom him, and claimed by Col. Peel the owaer of Orlondo, the second horse, upon « statement that Running Rein was not the horse he was represented to be, got by The Saddler, out of Mab, in 1841, butia fact was a colt got by Gladia tor, in 1840; and was, therefore, disqualified, but) by misdescription and superior age. The form of the present action had been decided upon to settle the question, both as to the stakes, and as to al! bets and sweepstakes, depending on the winn of the Derby of 1844 Mr. Cockburn was ti principal counsel for the plaintiff, and the Atiorney General for the defendant On the first days trial an order from the Judge was obtained to have the horse examined, in pur- suaace of which two veterinary surgeons, and s-- vera! persons, for the purpose of identification, pro. ceeded to Epsom with the intent to see and ex.- mine Running Rein, but Mr. A. Wood, theownr, of the horse, was ‘not at home,” and on applica- tion to his trainer, Mr. Smith, he refused to show the horse without an order from the ewner. Oo the following day Mr. Cockburn said it was his duty to produce the horse for the inspection of the jury, andi that opinion his learned friends and the laintift fully concurred; but Mr. Wood assured im, the horse had been taken away without ly sanction, approbation, or knowledge, and that hav ing traced it to the place to which it had been fic. removed, he went there for the purpose of getting possession of the horse, but he was there informe: that it had been again removed to some other place. Shortly after the recerd was withdrawn. Mr. Baron Alderson, addressing the jury, snid-— It is now my duty, gentlemen, to tell you that th verdict must be given for the defendant, aud you will therefore procerd to give a verdict to that e{ fect. | must tell you, gentlemen, that this case h prodaced in my mind a deep feeling of sorrow aa: disgust. Since the opening of the case a most atro ciousfrand has been proved to have been practised and [ have seen with great regret gentlemen asso ciating with persons much below themselves i: stinon. Lfgentlemen would associate with gentle men we should have no such practices. But if gentlemen will condescend to race with others be Yow their station, they must expect to be cheated The jury immediately returned a verdict tor the defendant; and thus ended this case, so interesting and important to the sporting world at large, and which decides the Derby stakes. Tae Learner Case.—On the 2lst ult. a meeting of the Jockey Club was held to consider the ques tioa ot the age of the horse Leander, and having heard evidence, are fully satisfied that Leander was four years old when he ran for the Derby they therefore resolve:—Firat.

The demand for combing wools still con tinues limited, but there is a degree of firmness exhibiter by the holders, seeing they cannot replace their stocks thecountry ut the prices offered by the buyers here. Hupprrsrieip.—There is a more spirited demand for balk pieces, and buyers generally evince an inclination for perches New goods, both of fine and middling qualities, meet with ready sale, and very few pieces suita ble for the autumn trade are left on hand. As the season advances the supply of heavy fabrics becomes both mor+ general and extensive; at the same time every strain i: made oa the ingenuity of the manufacturer to meet the varied tastes of customers. Whilst thia successful com petition is progressing, it behoves manufacturers to have an eye on the commensurate demand for each description, as we perceive the stocks of summer goods, though com. atively light, are gradually increasing, and may serve axacriterion for caution, The business in the ware honses is pretty stationary, and as merchants generally are engaged in taking stock, st is presumed. there will be no decided change for some time hence, when a brisk trade is anticipated. The weol market is steady and pri ces are firm. Leeps.—The supply of goods brought to, our Cloths Halls continues to ailerftban ueval, from the cireum stance that many of the manuiacturers are engaged wi orders,’ Tne markets have been above an average, anv prices are ashade higher; shawls, cloakings in new pat terns, low cloths, and beavers for the winter trade, are tie principal articles in demand, and there is a little more du- ing in fine cloths, the prices of which are without any ai- teration. ‘There has been a little more Veap it the home bnyers, and the foreign trade continues ; on the whole, there is more business doing than has been the case for many years at the same period of the year.

But little is doing i: wools, our fair being looked up to as a standard for price A better demand exists for noils and clothing sorts. A fair trade is doing in yarns, and the prices are firm with out alteration. Mancuesten —The overland mail has just arrived, and the commercial intelligence which it brings is considered tobe rather unfavorable. There is little change in our market this week. NottincHam—Itcan scarcely be said that there is « change in any branch of the hosiery trade; if anything the wrought cotton hose has a little retrograded in some of the eastern villages, which in some measure may be accounted for by the extension of the cut up system.— The cotton cut up hose branch in almost all its depart ment (and they are many) still keeps very brisk; the quantity of hose made cut up nearly treble those made ‘ull fashioned; the wages, thoug! bea low, rably improved by the efforts made during out, anc the town is reaping the fuli advan drawer branch may be said to have rallie there are a great number of frames standing, and in some instances whole shops; this is heavily felt in many part: of thetown. The cotton glove branch still keeps ine very improvedstate, the hands being fully employed — We are sorry to state that the silk glove trade, as well ir this neighborhood as in Derbyshire, where till lately it has been better than in this county, has again retrogra ded. The plain sitk hose branch still continues in the same deplorable state that it has been in for such a con siderable time. The bobbin net branch still keeps very dull, and many of the machine owners are much dispiri ted in consequence. The warp lace trade still keeps in its improved state, the hands being fully employed. Rocupave.—There has been a very fair bus'ness doin, in flannel at former prices.

The News from England—Its General Fea- tures, : The last news received from England by the Bri- tish steamer is not of an exciting character. But when we come to reflect upon it, it is interesting to all those who look back upon the causes und for- ward to the consequences of the operation of the elements now at work in British society of all de- seriptions. ‘We point particularly to the broad facts of the day,—the increase of the Connell rent—the grow- ing power of O'Connell in prison—the Repeal agita- tion still going on in Ireland—the divisions amongst the Conservatives in England—the distress and pen- ury of the lower classes throughout Great Britain— the contest between the Whigs and the Tories— the position of the “ Leaguers,” or anti-corn-law men—and the general movements, political, reli- gious, and social, in every part of that great empire. tt is very evident that a new combination of parties is at present in process of formation, and that new and mighty influences of regeneration and re-orga- nization are at work in the United Kingdom. The prospects of the down-trodden masses brighten. As for the movements of O’Connell in Ireland, they are more of a religio-political character, than for the amelioration of the condition of the people. The increase of Catholicity in England, and the division of the English church itself into two great sections, one of which, the Puseyites, lean to- wards the old Romish church, show, at no very distant day, there will be a general organization of patties in England, into Catholics on one side, and Protestants on the other. In freland, the Repeal agitation has a similar result. That isa move- ment whose main object is to give political power to the Catholic priesthood. As for the movements of the Whigs and Tories they are of little importance to the great cause of popular freedom. The privileged classes of both these great factions are of course equally unwilling to consent to any modification or reform of exist- ing institutions by which the lower classes could be benefitted. The only means of deliverance rests with the people themselves. They muststrike the blow. And there are evidences that they have not altogether forgotten their duty, The Chartist movement which has been under the shade for some time past, is the only real, practical, common sense movement to elevate and free the masses oj Great Britain and Ireland. Nothing ever can give comfort and freedom to the great masses of the British empire, but the overthrow of the present oppressive institutions. Opintons oN THE PHILADELPHIA RIoTSs ABROAD. The Dublin Freeman’s Journal—the organ of the Repealers—has a very funny article about the Phil- adelphia riots, which it attributes to that “‘most dangerous man in the country,” James Gordon Bennett!

This is not at all unlikely. There’s no knowing what uses this ‘‘ most dangerous man” may make of his “ deplorable extent of power.” What with his “unparalleled boldness” and ‘diabolical ma- lignity,” to use the impressive language of the repeal organ, he may, by and by, play at nine-pims with the crowned heads of Christendom, using his Holiness as {the knock-down projectile, and Dan O’Connell as the ‘‘set-’em-up-again-boy.” Tae Pope’s Buut 1x Enciann.—The ridiculous and insane bull of the Pope, denunciatory of the Bible and the religious operations of the Protest- tention in England.

On the contrary, we are informed on the best’authority that there ir nothing exclusive in the organization of this highly respectable company, and that a majority of the members are Native Americans. Their constitu tion and byelaws especially prohibits any interfer- ence with the religious or political opinions of applicants for membership, and their is nothing whatever objectionable in the organization or rela- tions of the company. Mapame Cintt Damorzav.—We have received a communication in French from Madame Cinti, written immediately before her departure, in which she states that the paragraph respecting negotiations between her and Ole Bull, in relation to giving concerts together, and which appeared in our paper some days since, was incorrect, no such negotia- tions having been entered into. Da. Larpver’s Lyceum.—This place of intel- lectual entertainment and amusement has been at- tended by very crowded audiences since the first night.

A great num- ber of insects, sections of diflerent kinds of wood, the animalcula in a globule of water, and the process of crystalization were exhibited. followed a series of telescopic illus'rations of eclipses, and pictorial views of remarkable locali- ies. The Drummond light was also exhibited— and, altogether, the entertainments were of a very attractive nature. Navat.—The U.S. F, Constitution was at Fayal on the 18th June. All well. NEW YORK HERALD.! ‘Texas Question in Enauanp.— ard and Morning Herald—the organs of the British Government are, it will be seen from the extracts in another column, still very furious against annex- ation, The argument is characteristic and amus- ing. Because kugland possesses Canada and the West Indies, forsooth, the United States must not dare extend its territorial jurisdiction, so as to em- brace those regions which nature herself has des- tined to raake part and parcel of the North Ameri- ean Republic. This reasoning admits of quite an opposite and natural application. These journals are, however, quite mistaken in aseribing to hatred of England, tke irrepressible desire of the people of this country to extend the limits of their empire. It is with nations as with individuals, the acqui tion of increased possessions is a pussion which cannot be subdued, and ought not, so long as in this case, it is governed by justice. Unlike Great Britain the people of this country, seek increase of territory, not by plunder and intrigue, but in an open, fair, and just mode, they are prepared to an- nex an independent territory which naturally be- longs to them, and annex it they will, fer nothing can impede the progress of thefemancipated Anglo- Saxon race on this Continent.

Cireuit Court. Before Judge Kent. Suny 18 —Alonzo B. Lane and George N. Crawford vs. Sylvester S Robinsonand Grand P. Robinson.—This was an action brought to recover the amount of e judgment for $761 21, obtained against defendants on 34 June, 1841, in the Court of Common Pleas, for the county of Erie, State of Ohio. The judgment was obtained for non pay- ment of a note of defendants held by plaintiff. The de- tence put in was that a compromise was entered into by the parties, on defendants paying $544 86 with coats. ft appeared, however, on the part of the plaintiffs, thet the ag:e-ment was violate ',in as much aa the costs were with- held by the defendants. The plaintiffs sued for the full amount of the bond, which they allege remained in fuil force in consequence of the non-fulfilment of the agree- ment. The Court charged in favor of the validity of the judgment, which remained in full force in ete of the non payment of the costs, but intimated the finding to make the allowance for $544 86. The jury did not agree, and were discharged. ‘The People vs. Seth Thayer.—'This is one of the cases re- ferred to yesterday, There are several causes against different defendants, in all of which verdicts were found for the plainti bject to the opinion of the Supreme Court upon cases to be made out.
