Lord George Bentinck has eighteen colts named for the Derby and eight fillies for the Oaks. The following are the number of subscribers for the last three years sent in : We are sorry to say that another piece of bad business is now in course of investigation before that most secret of all secret tribunalsthe Jockey Club. The story connected with this, which we suppose will come before the world as "the Idas affair," tells of a certain sporting man bribing a tradesman, at Newmarket, to give a poisonpowder, that he would give him, to one of the lads in Lord Strad broke's stable, and the lad give it to the horse just before his starting for Epsom; how that the man of business had the desire to do but not "the soul to dare," and that still on the crack losing the race and his friend winning his money, he yet put in a claim for shares, and, on being refused, made a split of the whole transaction. This is the extent to which the public hitherto have been admitted; but no doubt their worships will proclaim the sentence, &c., in due timeat a more liberal length we trust, however, than they have lately disposed of such evil communications. Mr. Collet has sold his horse, Coranna, to Mr. G. N. Moore for eight hundred; a thousand being the figure at which he came in about this time last year. The rapid succession of Newmarket, Liverpool, Goodwood, and other meetings have been of such great temporary interest to the influentials, as to make the quotations we give on the only two races the disposition of events will justify us in drawing up, nearly as much a record of single or fancy bets as general market prices. Mentor's late running and winning again and again could not be overlooked, no more than the very unassuming performances of the Baron and other Irish pretenders on this side of the water; the whole host of them since Liverpool have scarcely been backed for a sixpence. The heavy week's work now running off at Goodwood will of course, in its consequences, materially increase the speculation on both Leger and Derby; for the latter indeed, looking at the past month as it stands at present, we have not a word to offer in the way of comment; while of Goodwood itself, we judged it-considering the Stake, Cup, and nearly everything else, will be disposed of by the time our magazine appears-a mere waste of time, trouble, and space to recapitulate even the state of the odds.
