Its perusal is !articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the b^alth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is It la :.bsolutely necessary that all men should know that there are -, incipies of personal management which cannot he violated with ut Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue ,ed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, bow those penalties nay I,e mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, ViattLere is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the, timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The report of the directors just issued expresses the desire of those sent in anticipation of the ordi nary annual meeting, to lay before the shareholders the present position of the company's affairs, and to submit to then the policy of the board in refe tenets to future proceedings. The Atlantic' Tele graph Company was registered under the Limited Liability Act, 1856, on the 21st of October in that year. On the sth of December, in the same year, the whole of the shares had been fully subscribed for, and in a few days afterwards the entire deposit of 2001. per share had been paid up. An act of complete corporation was obtained during the last session. The borrowing powers, however, which had been applied f o r w ere o bj ec t e d t o by ie Com mittee of the House of Lords, and so limited in amount, that, at the present time, th3' company have no borrowing powers whatever. The dire ots relate the progress of the attempt made last year to lay down their telegraph cable, with the history of which the public is acquainted. After quoting the opinions of the commanding officers of the ships composing the telegraphic squadron, the directors state that they "assent to their general principles. They think that the formof the cable is well suited to the object in view, and that with apparatus properly constructed and wel attested previously, there will be comparatively little difficulty in suc cessfully laying it on the next occasion. They also agree that, in the ensuing attempt, it will be de sirable to join the c shies iu mid-ocean, instead of staring from either shore. They are further of opinion that considerable modifications are required in the paying-out machinery before a second attempt-be - made to lay the cable, and especially in that portion of it which relates to the retarding of the egress of the cable. Tue machinery has, there fore, been submitted to a scientific committee, con sisting of Mr. Penn, of G..eenwich, Mr. Joshua Field, of the firm of Maudslay, Sons, and Field, Mr. Lloyd, of the steam department of Her Ma jesty's navy, and Mr. W. Everett, chief engineer of the United States frigate Ni ag tra . The &rectors having solicited the United States govern ment to permit the return of Mr. Everett to this country, for the purpose of aiding this enterprise, are happy to state that their wishes have been complied with, and that Mr. Everett is now in England, de voting his entire attention, in conjunction with Messrs. Easton and Amos, and Mr. Bright, the engineer of the company, in advising upon, and superintending such modifications in the paying -out apparatus, as, after a series of experinieets, added to the practical knowledge gained during the late operations, may in their opinion be th e b es t. Af ter due consideration as to the expediency of again at tempting to lay the cable in the month of October last, the directors concluded that the attempt would be imprudent and hazardous ; and they therefore decided upon discharging the cable from the ships, for the purpose of having it carefully examined and re-coiled, and of housing it until after another sea son. To this end application was made to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, who, with groat kindness, have appropriated to the use of the com pany, at Keyham, a vacant powder magazine, and the surrounding premises, on which the company has erected wooden tanks, properly roofed over, and suitable for receiving the cable. The cable itself has been pasted through a mixture of tar, linseed oil, pitch, and beeswax, previous to its being re coiled in the tanks, in order to its effectual preservation from atmospheric influence during the winter. The premises granted by the Admiralty at Keyham, afford also room for the convenient carrying forward of the general electrical arrange ments, and for pursuing important scientific in vestigations tending to their improved efficiency. The manipulating staff are kept busily engaged in practice upon commercial messages of the same character that would be daily passing if the wire were open for traffic, by which means they will Le come throughly accustomed to the very peculiar mode of signalling adoptedby this company; whose system, owing to the unprecedented length of the Atlantic conductor, necessarily differs from that of any ether telegraph company. The company have accepted an offer made by Mr. John Macintosh, for raising the remainder of the submerged cable ; the basis of the arrangement being, that the com pany incurs no risk or expense in case of failure ; but undertakes to pay a stipulated rate or price per mile for all cable delivered in good order at Devonport. The length of the cable now at Daven port, including the recovered portion, is 2,163 miles. In addition to this the directors have con- tracted with the Gutta Percha Company, and with Messrs. Glass, Elliot and Company, for the manu facture of 400 wiles of new cable, which is now in courses of delivery. The total will thus be restored to 2,563 miles—alengtb, which in the first instance was thought to contain a sufficient margin for " slack," and for all contingencies, but which the directors, acting on subsequent experience, and im pressed with the opinion that no point in the com pany's operations on the next occasion should be left to uncertainty, are now disposed to think in adequate. An outlay will consequently be involved for furnishing the further length of cable, now be lieved to be necessary (about 300 miles), which, as it had never been anticipated, was not provided for in the estimate upon which the first issue of shares took place ; and the balance of subscribed capital being therefore inadequate to justify the directors in entering into any further engagements, it will be necessary, in order to meet this originally unfore seen contingency, that au issue of new capital be authorised at the meeting on the 18th February, and provided for without delay in such manner as may be resolved upon. As experience, however, has now fully satisfied the directors that an increased length of cable is one of those points which, on the resumption of operations this year, may materially contribute to the success of the undertaking it is presumed that the shareholders and th e public will readily assist in providing the moderate amount of additional capital required for that purpose, and for leaving in hand a sufficient balance to meet any contingencies that may still be unforeseen. It wll be seen - by the financial statement appended hereto that up to December 31, 1857, the company had received on capital and interest account the sum of 347,398/. 13i. 11d. The expenditure to the same date had been 301,4001. 10s. 10d., leaving a total balance of 49,698/. 3s. id. to meet existing and future engagements. This balm ice consisted of 45,998/. 3s. id. in cash and securities, and 3,700/. calls unpaid at that period. The latter item has been reduced to 1,600/., by payments made subsequently. Deducting from this balance, the liabilities of the company in respect to the new cable now being manufactured, &c., and the ap- proximate eztimate of probable chArges that will occur in carrying forward the operation of laying the cable next season, amounting to 26,0311., there would appear to be a balance of 13,6671. 133. I.d. only available to meet any unexpected expenditure. The value of the cable on hand at Devonport and in course of manufacture is computed at 224,8321. and the stores and miscellaneous property remaining in possession of the company may be estimated at 11,9001. ; making a total of available property iu the hands of the company (inclusive of the balance of unexpended capital) amounting to 286,4301. The costs and expenses attending the manufacture of a further length of 300 miles of cable may be estimated, in round numbers at 30,0001. It will therefore be necessary be necessary, in ordEr to place the financial affairs of the company in a state that would justify the board in entering into this further liability, that an additional amount of ca pital should be raised. And, as the directors feel confident that they will be enabled to conclude an arrangement on fair and equitable terms with the original projectors for the extinction of all the ex tensive privileges seemed to them by an agrefment made between them and the provisional committee on the 29th day of October, 1856, the directors earnestly recommend that further provision may also be made for this purpose ; and they would suggest that the requisite amount may be raised by the issue of new shares of 201. each ; and that authority be taken from the shareholders, at the'' same time, to convert (after the cable shall have been successfully laid) the entire capital into shares of the same nominal amount as the new shares." Reviewing the past the direciors say, " Thee is uo discouragement in the future. No element of failure has - been developed which is not completely within the grasp of science ; no natural obstacle has arisen to forbid the most complete and s Atis factory termination to the work ; on the contrary, every anticipate difficulty has been practically sur mounted. Electric signals bad been sent and re ceived satisfactorily throueli the entire conductor, 2,500 miles in length. The cable had been laid along one of the most difficult pbrtions of the route with the greatest facility. The deep soundings of the Atlantic had been reached, and the psi feet pos sibility of communicating by telegraph with Amp.. rice bad advanced from theory into certainty, whet, the ripening hopes of the first year's labour were suddenly put an end to by a description of accident, which in all human probability would never have occurred had wore taw bees wad e Ayailobio tor, [P.RION 40. STAMPXD 5 u •] the elaboration of the company's arrangements, by postponing its operations until another year." The directors notice the fact that during the late panic the telegraphic cable would have saved more than its cost to both countries. The importance of the communiettion to trade gives indications of a handsome return to the shareholders, especially . wh"n taken together with the annual sub -1(1y of 14,0001. a-year accruing from the English G ivern went, and of an equal amount from that of the Milted States, making a total guaranteed income of 28,0001. per annum, added to the protective pri vileges that have been accorded to this company in Newfoundland and ehewliere. The directors state that they cannot close their observations to the shareholders without bearing their warm and cordial testimony to the untiring zeal, talent, and energy that have been displayed on behalf of this enterprise by Mr. Cyrus W. Mld, of New York, to w h rm mainly belongs the honour of having practically developed the possibility, and of having brought together the material me ins for carrying out the gr eat id ea of connecting Europe and America by a . submarine telegraph. THE LATE ATTE.IIPTED ASSASSI- NATION. We take from yesterday's Moniteur the follow ing remarks made by the Minister of Public In struction, M. Rouland, in the address delivered by him upon the occasion of presenting the prizes to he students of the Philotechuic and Polytechnic Societies for the instruction of the working classes in Paris : The Imperial family has been true to its noble traditions. Napoleon I. led on the French people in his - own steps to defend his national right, de niad at that time by all the mouarchiedof Europe. He placed that people everywhere, in the camps, coulicils, and admini,tratio►ss. He loved them, wished them to be great and honoured. B. th of Clem, the people and the Emperor, lived with one heart, one and the same thought ; and during their strong halts, when the din of battles slept, they founded together by their manners and laws that new France which has no equal among na qons. Therefore, when the Emperor, exiled from his country, went to die on the rock of St. Helena,, his name continued to live in the depth of men's souls, and his glorious image, hovering over fresh generations, received frora them an ovation of re spect previously unknown to history. Napoleon ll[., in his turn, spurning all vulgar ambitions, and having saved that France which anarchy wanted to sully and enslave, came to offer the people the clasp of a powerful and friendly hand. Consecrated by universal suffrage, he has brought the country hack to a true feeling for great things ; he has invited France to pirtake with him all his ideas of justice and national dig nity. In his hands the flag of France has egsi❑ found its ancient glory, and the astonished world has greeted in our young soldiers the discipline and bravery of the old phalanxes of the army. So many glories and services, so much devotion and intelligence, have assured to the Emperor the love of the people, but they have not been able to avert those savage passions which, disowned by every nation, as they ought to ba by every asylum, attack princes and governments for the purpo,s3 of gratifying some frightful lust of murder and destruction. God has given no name to these infamies and insane appetites of the human mind, and nations only term them by the horror they inspire. Our children will refuse to 'believe in these lameirahle recitals of infernal machines scat tering death amongst a whole mass of collected in dividual that it thus might reach more surely a noble and loyal sovereign and his well-beloved consort, whose grata, confidence, and inexhaus tibe kindness could nut protect her from the implacable hatred of the regicides. But let them at least find, in our annals, the expression of our universal indignation. Gentlemen, the whole mass of the people has risen to brand the assassins. It would have risen likewise to crush their criminal success and to protect toe infant heir of the greatest popular name iu modern times. I bear witness to their loyalty, honour, and patriotism ; and you all will repeat with me, workmen and masters, rich and poor, these words which France has ratified— . _ Contempt and maledictions upon those who dis. Louour humanity." LA TV AMENDMENT SOCIETY. ' A meeting of the members of this society took place lastevening at their rooms, No. 3, Waterloo place ; Mr. W. S. CoorcsoN in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. HASTINGS read a report on a proposed bill for providing an index to the Parochial Registers of Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials in England. It was proposed that the index should commence from 1750, the extracts from the various registers throughout the country from that date to 1837 to be furnished by the ministers of the various parishes, the cost of which to be paid by a rate in each parish. The alphabetical index to be kept at the General Register Office, and searches to be allowed at a moderate charge. The committee were of opinion that such a work, if completely and accurately achieved, would be of considerable bene fit to the public, and would be worth the expense and trouble attending it. It would diminish the expense of tracing pedigrees and making out titles, which at present, there being 12,000 registers in England, was often very considerable, and the difficulty sometimes attending it being ahnost in- surmountable. While they agreed in the necessity for such an index, they on several points dissented from the proposed measure. The provision for a parish rate to deiray the cost of copying the regis ters was calculated to excite much opposition. A more serious objection arose as to the mode of ob tainine, copies of the reg7ster from the labour it would cast upon the clergy, and the inadequate guarantee for the accuracy of the work. The value of the index would entirely depend upon the accu racy of the transcripts, winch could only be ensured by employing careful and intelligent copyists, and a diligent supervision, which could hardly be exer cised on the plan proposed. The opinion of the committee was that a bill ought to be paseed com pelling incumbents to forward to Somerset-house the original registers, to be there copied under the supervision of the authorities, and, when copied, returned to their original depository ; that the transcripts so made shall be properly indexed for the purposes of reference, and made secondary evi deuce in the case of the loss of the originals. The commit*ee see no reition wly the work, if gradually and economically effected, should draw on the re venue of the country to any burdensome extent. The registers would pass free through the Post office, in pursuance of the Registration Aco. On the motion of Mr. BENJAMIN JONES, seconded by Mr. HERBERT BROOME, the report was accepted, and ordered to be printed and circulated. Mr. HasTINGs called attention to the fact of the deficiency in the law relating to legitimacy, there being no provision enabling a man to prove his legitimacy unless on a question of disputed pro perty. He moved the appointment of a committee to consider the matter. Mr. FRANCIS seconded the motion, which was agreed to; and the proceedings terminated. TIER FUGITIVE FEMALES IN CALCUTTA.

Many come to Calcutta with only the rags they have ou, and some ' in men's clothes lent them on their way down. Some of these ladies are in the most deplorable state of health, with constitutions ruined for life from their sufferings. We have had large supplies of beauti ful new clothing sent oat from England for distri bution among them. The ladies and women from Lucknow are daily expected, and we have prepared everything for their comfortable rec*tion. The stories circulating about the garrison duriog their long and terrible trial are most extraordinary. The sense of d anger was so intense that after a time they became callous to death. For 120 days they were constantly under fire, and only 4 days passed without the loss of some of their number. More than half the garrison were killed. The ladies now write down from Allahabad that the reaction and quiet of their present condition is almost as painful as the siege itself. The torpor of death seems to have crept over them, and all are giving way under it. Young brides of a few weeks are grown auto aged, grey-hailed widows, not to be recognised by those who saw them a few months ago. e it seems that some of the men oven, who went through the siege without suffering materially la health, have AILIQQ §11124 freul the motion ", NAVAL AND MILITARY arm Among the names of these officers who i successful struggle to deliver the long laile*4 - garrison of Lucknow occurs tint of William Tail* S Thompson, of the 82d Regiment.

The guard will con sist of 1 captain, 2 sublet-11s, 5 sergeant., and 100 ra.,k and file, toge her ith the baud of the corps. In addi.ion to the above, or lers were likewise issued yesterday f.,,r the Royal Engineers to furnish 1 field officer, 2 captains, 7 subalterns, and 295 non commissioned officers and men, together with 1 field officer, 2 capta . ns, 4 sub &erns, and 220 men of all ranks of the Chatham division of Royal Ma rine Light Infantry, with their hand, to line the streets at Gravesend through which the royal pro ces-ioa will pass from the railway station to the Terrace-pier. The troops sel , ,cted will parade at an early hour this morning at Chatham, and will proceed to Gravesend by special train at 11 o'clock, and ou their arrival will receive their orders for the day from Brigadier-Major C. S. E. Gordon. The Royal Marines will be under the command of Lieut.-Col. J. H. Gascoigne. Yesterday morning the depot companies of the 51st Light Infantry and the 83d Regiment pro- - °ceded from the huts at Prima Henry's Bastion, Chatham, to Waliner, for the purpose of being at tached to the battalion under the command of Col. H. Eyre, to enable them to be put through a regular course of rifle instruction. The 51st depot numbered 160 men of all ranks, and the 83d 276 von-commissioned officers and men with tho bllowing officers :—Captain Henry B. Houson, Ensign Edward D. Oliver, and Ensign P. Llwel lyn Leweg, 51st Light Infantry, and Captain Edward William Bray, 83d Regiment. Lieut. S. T. - Sargent, 43d Light Infantry, wbo has been appointed instructor of musketry to his regiment in India, and .Assistant Staff-Surgeon Symons, have been directed to proceed from Chat ham to Southampton to-morrow morning and em bark on board the steamer Pera for Madras. The following movements took place at Ports mouth yesterday :—The Hanibal, 91, screw two decker, was put in commission by Captain the Hon. George F. Hastings, C. 8., the superintendent of the steam reserve at that port, to which department of the fleet she will act as depot ship, and berth the staff, in lieu of the Blenheim, 60, old two-decker, which was the first of the 74's converted into a screw blockship about 13 years or so ago. This latter ship has been given to Captain Francis Scott, C. 8., fir the duty of Coastguard service between Portland-roads and Spithead, including the South ampton water, in lieu of the sailing-frigate Meander, 44, which has been employed in that service, and which was towed up to Portsmoutil after dark on Sunday by the steam-vessel Alban, 3, Lieutenant the Hon. W. B. de Blaquiere, and the Pigmy, steam-tender, Master-Commander Johnson. The Melpomene ? new 51-gun screw frigate, fitting for comtnission, was taken out of dock, and the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw three-decker, ordered to be taken in to fit for the service of the " ordinary" under Captain H. Eyres, C. 8., in lieu of the old sailing three-decker St. Tincen-, now doing that d ity.

AN AUDACIOUS MENDICANT. —A man named Brog• non was three days ago tried by the Tribunal of Cor rectional Police of Charleville for a singular species of what the law calls " mendicity with threats. He pretended to be somewhat of a sorcerer, and used to hawk about for sale among the peasantry a nd and rings, which be said had been blessed in the chapel of St. Hubert, in Belgium, and which had the virtue of curing various maladies, and were in particular a preservative against hydrophobia ; and when people refused to buy them from him he looked at them in a strange way, murmured unintelligible words, and then, with singular gestures, exclaimed, " I condemn you to repeat 25 i 3 they were be. leaving ,the paters and 25 ayes, and may the Lord have mercy on n n de s r ta t l h k e ed i msoplrssio solemnlyy n away, t w itched ; and in their terror they fre quen tl y offered hiss money to annul what he had do te . Tb la 1 you poor I ;eas i a i n e peasants the 9 tr ibu na l una condemned him to a year's imprisonment and five years' surveillance of the police. [ADVERTISIIMENT.]—The di s ti nguishing 0 characteristic of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food is succinctly described by one of the sufferers wh o h ave been relieved by it, as having " done all that medicine failed to effect." Without recourse to clyster or bolus, it affords a perfect cure in the most in veterate and distressing cases of disease connected with the nerves, stomach, liver, kidneys, an d • • intestines, as exhibited in au innumerable variety of malignant form s. The ms. to f those who have taken the trouble to acknowledge personally the benefits they have derived from the Food now consider. ably exceeds Fifty Thousand, and includes persons of all classes, from the peer to the artisan. Honest Sergearit Noels, of H.M.S. Cro - odile, who declares that he has been re. stored to health and life by it, and " wishes every peer creature labouring under disease could become acquainted with the Food ;" is as ex,licit in his thanks as Lord Stuart de Decies, Major-General King, the Ven. Archdeacon Stuart. &c., &c., &c. Mr. J. S. Newton, of Plymouth, declares to the same effect :—" For the last ten years I have been suf fering from dyspepsia, headaches, nervousness, low spirits, , sleep essuess, and delusions, and swallowed an incredible 1 amount of medicine without relief. lam happy to say that your Food has curd me, and I am now enjoying better health than I have bad for many years," Ex uno discs ontnes. In every instance, the report is the same—perfect cure—health, ease, and happiness, after years of vain experi ment, and the outlay of continuous sums of money in physic. At 'no epoch in the history of humanity has such a mass of indisputable, incontrovertible evidence been brought to bear upon a topic involving the most momentous consequences to ,the well-being of all.

Mr. Salmon entered St. Ge orge ' s C hapel at the age of seven years , as a chorister, in which capacity he served for seven years when he was elected one of the lay clerks of the said chapel, and one of the choir of Eton College. Sho rtly afterward s h e was appointed a lay vicar of Westm in ster Abbey, a n d one of the gentle men of her Majesty s Chapel Royal, St. J amea g a ; these appointments be held until the time of his death. Mr. Salmon was a musician of no ordinary talent, and was universally esteemed by the profession. About the commencement of the present centur— y he joined the racks of the Windsor Royal Volunteers. On the occasion of his late Majesty George 111. reviewing the regiment at Bulmarsh Heath, nea r R ea di ng, his com manding stature and seldierly bearing a tt rac t e d th e notice of his sovereign, who calling Colonel Besborougb, desired him to request Mr. Salmon's acceptance of a commission iu a regimen t of the li ne , T h i s honour , however, Le modestly &aimed.

The close approach of the racing season was Mani fested by the large attendance Of speculators in the Subscription-room. Still the betting was .ve ry limited, and on the , N - 740eigiftrits' were 4nital4-inttiretly ani.ieriad: --- They will, how eVer, be resumed in earnest in the course of a few days, when the acceptances will be placedi before the public. An announcement that the revised laws of bet ting would be read to the members was, perhaps, the main inducement to many persons to assemble at the Corner. These rules, which are given be low, seemed to meet with cordial approbation, and are likely to work with the most beneficial effect. Several important alterations have been intro duced, especially those which relt:' e to the covering of bets and the time allowed to defb niters to satisfy the claims of their creditors. Lard Derby's motion, to make void all bets on handicaps prior to the pub. lication of the weights, is, it will be seen, also adopted. _ _ A: rough draught of the new rules has already been placed before the sporting public, but Rule 4 has been re-amended, and in the rule referring to the scratching of horses an additional clause has been inserted. The task of revision has been accom plished by General Peel, Admiral Rous, and Mr. Greville. Brother to Marchioness and Clyde3dale were head and head in the betting for the Two Thousand, 4 to 1 being taken to 751. about tho former, and the same ( dds to a baga'elle about Mr. Howard's horse. Layers would have gone on at the same price. 1,000 to 50 was booked once nb.mt Blink Bonny for the Chester Cup ; but throughout the afternoon 20 to 1 on the field could have been obtained with out difficulty. Blackthorn, who is really the first favourite, would have found backers at any odds over 20 to 1. The only horse in demand for the Derby was the Hadji, who was advanced five points, and iu whose favour the investments amounted to about 4001.

In all bets there must be a possibility to win when the bet is made ; " you cannot win when you cannot lose." _ 2. The interests of the bets are inseparable with ;he interest of the stake - 4, except when the winning iorse is disqualified owing to a default in making stakes. 3. All double bets must be considered " play or pay." 4. Confirmed bets cannot be off except by mutual consent, or by cases hereafter-mentioned. Either of the betters may demand stakes to be made 14 days before the lace is run, upon proving it to the committee of the rooms that ho has just cause for so doing ; if ordered, bets must be cor, , red on the comparing day, or sufficient security offered, and the persons refusing to make stake shall be ejected the rooms of Tatters dl's and Newm irk , t. If a bettor be absent on the day of the running, and there is just cause to presume that he intends to evade his engagement 9, a public declaration must be made in the ring, and the same pest .d up in the usual place, and in the event of no person be coming responsible for the same a written notice must be given to the clerk of the course declaring the bet void. 5. All bets on matches and private sweepstakes depending between an y t wo h o rses shall be void if those horses bec,:me the property of the same per pon or of bis avowed confederate subsequently to the bets being made. 6. All bets between particular horses shall be void if neither of them win, unless agreed by the prties to th- c ntra y. 7. If any bet shall be made from signal or indi cation after the race has been determ'ned, such bat shall be considered fraudulent and void. 8. The person who lays the odds has a right to choose a horse or the field ; when a person has chosen a horse the field is what starts against him. 9. If odds are laid without ment'oning the horse before the race is over, the bet must be determined by the state of the odds at the time of making it. 10. If a match or sweep takes be made for any particular day in any race week, and the parties agree to change the day to any other in the same week, all bets must stand, but if the parties agree to run the race in a different week, or to make the slightest difference in the terms of the engagemen t, all bets made before the alteration are void. 11. Bets made en horses winning any number within the year shall be understood as meaning be tween the Ist of Jan. and the 31st Dec. 12. If a bet is made between two horses in a match or sweepstakes, say 1001., half forfeit, and both horses start, either party may dechie forfeit, and the person making such a declaration would pay 501. if the other horse won, but would rec,ive nothing in the event of his horse winning the race. 13. Bets are determined, though the horse doffs not start, when the words ,4 absoltrely run or pay," or " play or pay," are made use of i❑ betting. 14. Money given to have a bet laid shall not be returned, though the race be not run. 15. When the riders of any horses brought out to run for any race are called upon by the st ar t er to take their places all bets respecting such horses must be play or pay. 16. When horses run a dead heat for a plate or sweepstakes, and the owners agree to divide, all bets between such horses or between either of them and the field, must be settled by the money betted being put together and divided between the parties in the same proportion as the stakes. If a bet be made on one of the horses that ran the dead heat against a beaten horse he who backed the horse that ran the dead heat wins half his bet if his horse received half the prize ; if the dead heat be the first event of a double bet. The bet is void unless one horse received above a moiety which would constitute him a winner in a double event. 17. The following races shall be considered "play or pay" :—The Derby and Oaks, at Epsom ; the St. Leger, at Doncaster ; the Two Thousand Guineas ; the One Thousand Guineas ; the Ce. oarewitch and Cambridge§bire, at NOYGIIPACt
