Beautiful too in their way are Mrs. Harrison's (No. 179) " Cowslips," and (No. 186) "Primroses." JIONEY MARKET 4ND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The'progress of business during the past week in the manufacturing districts has continued unfavourable, the advices from America having caused an almost suspension of operations in goods suitable to those markets. At Manchester com plaints are generally expressed at the dullness of trade, the few dealings entered into having been chiefly for immediate home requirement. No im provement can be reported in the demand for cloths at Leeds, and several of the mills have been only working short time." At Bradford and Huddersfield the business done hai been of the most limited character, without any change of importance in prices. In the hardware districts the operations have not been extensive. At Birmingham, however, there has been rather more enquiry for rifles for the American States. A moderate amount of business was reported in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were steady. The sales were 8,000 bales. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England on Saturday. The arrivals this morning have been rather ex tensive, including the Kent from Australia with £104,220 ; La Plata from the West Indies, £84,600 Alhambra from the Peninsula, £3,818, and the Niagara from New York, £240. Later advices from Australia report the depar ture of the following vessels with gold for this country, viz., the Boreas, with £41,972 ; the Prince of Wales, with £88,604; the Themis. with £94,376; and the Yorkshire, with £144,500, in addition to those previously announced, with an aggregate of about £500,000 now at sea. A meeting of the Submarine Telegraph Company is being held for the purpose of electing directors, and considering the recent acrimonious and defama tory statements circulated against the management of the company. A protracted discussion is now going on. There is very little alteration in the demand for money, notwithstanding the quietude of trade, and the restricted operations in the manufacturing dis tricts. At the Bank of England the inquiries are very numerous, as the terms asked for accommoda tion in the open market are slightly in excess of the minimum of that establishment. The flow of sovereigns to America naturally tends to impart a firmer tone to the quotations, as its continuance must necessarily stimulate an upward tendency. There has not been much animation in the market for public securities to-day, but a slight improvement has taken place owing to the more favourable tendency of the advices from America, which have induced a few purchases on specula tive account. Consols are 911 y for money, and 92 to 92} for the 6th proximo. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 891 i; ditto 5 per Cent. Indian at 1019, and Exchequer Bills having improved to 4s. and 3s. dis. The dealings in the Foreign Market have been moderate. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 701 71 ; ditto 1858, 551 56; Mexican have improved to p 221 3 ; G rena d a, to 16 ; Portuguese, to 4% ; an d Sardinian, to 81 i ; • Spanish Deferred are steady at 420 ; and Brazilian 41 per Cents., 871.

A nume rously attended public meeting of the working teen of Edinburgh, presided over by the Lord Provost, was held on Fri.lay evening, for the purpose of discussing the ques , ion of Parliamentary reform. A resolution was unanimous) i y passed, express i ve o f regre t and indi g n at i on at th e aban donment of reform by her Majesty's Gov ernment, such abandonment b e i ng regar d e d as a violation of distinct and re peated pledges by th e Mi n i s t r y, and as injurious to the beet interests of the country. It was also declared that no Measure of reform would be satisfactory that does not em brace the £5 burgh and £lO county franchise, vote by ballot, and a re di stribution of members in proportion to tax.tion and pop u l a ti on ; and it was resolved unanimously that Mr. Black, M.P., having in his recent votes and speeches deserted the eause of reform, the meeting had no confidence in hi m as a'r epresentative, and was of opinion that he oug h t to resign.

MAY 13 5 1861. THIS DArs ZARICETS CORN EXCHANGE. Very moderate supplies of wheat were exhibited in the leading country markets on Saturday. Nearly all kinds moved off steadily, and in some instances prices had an up ward tendency. All other kinds of produce were very firm. The continental markets, almost generally, have been very firm for fine wheats, barley, and oats. In the United States both wheat and flour realised rather more money. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were limited. From abroad we received 17,734 quar ters of wheat, 1,783 barley, 19,721 oats, 761 beans, 1,255 peas, 1,945 tares, 2,668 linseed, 1,385 oilseeds, 920 maze, 40 sundry, and 407 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were very limited, and for the most part in poor condition. All good and fine samples met a steady sale, at quite the rates cur rent on this day se'nnigt ; otherwise, the trade was in a sluggish state, yet no change book place in the quotations. The demand for foreign wheat was by no mean active. However, a fair retail business was transacted in most de criptions, and prices were well suppoatee. The show of samples was tolerably extensive. A fair average business was done in cargoes afloat, and, in some instances, the quotations had an upward tendency. For the time of the year there was considerable activity in the barley trade, especially as regards malting qualities, at very full prices. Malt was firm in value, although :the demanVgenerally speaking, Was rather inactive. All kinds of oats were in steady request, and late rates were well maintained. Beans were held at fully the late advance in their value. The inquiry for peas was by no means active; neverthe. less, prices ruled firm. For most kinds of flour there was a moderate demand. American barrels were held for rather more money. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE. Wheat—Essex and Kent, red, new Ditto, old 598 65.

From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts were large, and, for the most part, in prime condition. For all breeds the demand ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots realised 4s 10d per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and. Cam bridgeshire amounted to 2,900 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from other parts of England 400, various breeds ; and from Scotland 817 Scots and crosses. There was a fair average show of sheep, in somewhat improved quality. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some tendency.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) TRIED DAT. HATCH V. LEWIS AND LEWIS. The hearing of this ease was resumed this morning. Mr. Lewis, sen., was called, and examined by Mr. C. Pollock.--I have been 33 years in profession, and was clerk of indictments for 27 years. On Sunday, the 13th of November, 1859, Mrs. Hatch came to me, at my residence in Euston. square, and she brought little Lucy with her. When Mrs. Hatch intimated to me the nature of the charge against her husband, I suggested the propriety of the child going into another room, which she did. After discussing the matter for a short time, she handed to me a letter which the Plummers had sent to the Bishop of Winches • ter, and she stated that that would give more particularly the facts than she could give them. She, at the same time, handed to me a copy of a letter which contained language implying that her husband was guilty. I said to her, " Surely in writing this letter you never intended to sug- gesi your husband is guilty ?" and she answered, "No." I then asked her if it had been written with her hus band's knowledge, and she said, "No, not with his know ledge." I then said, "The letter is of no consequence." I subsequently saw the child, and told her to tell me the truth, and also to do so on the morrow, when she would be examined by the magistrate. She said she never saw the plaintiff do anything wrong to the little girls. Mrs. Hatch then asked me if I would attend at Wands worth police-court in the morning. I said I had not my list of attendances with me, but, under the circumstances of the case, I would do so, and that my fee would be three guineas. I desired her to have ready a complete statement from her husband, and the attendance of all the witnesses mentioned to me. I went to Wandsworth the next morn ing, and was introduced to Mr. Hatch, and he handed a statement to me. Mr. Cooper, the barrister, made a state ment of the facts against the plaintiff, and called his wit nesses, and cross-examined them, and as the magistrate ated the ease must go for trial, I proposed bail, and in the end Mr. Hatch was admitted to bail in the sum of £5OO himself, and two sureties of £250 each. The defendant then said that he visited the plaintiff in prison on the 15th, 17th, and 21st November, and referred to his diary to prove the dates. On the last occasion he went into all matters very fully during the half hour he remained with bim, and he then partly made a sketch •f the late residence of the plaintiff. 1 received a letter from Mr. Onslow to retain Mr. Sergeant Ballantine on 22d of November. On the the 23d I had a conversation with Mrs. Hatch about re taining Brannan, the detective, to make inquiries relative to the Plummers. He was engaged, and I received com munications from him. Previous to 26th, before the brief was delivered, 1 had a conversation with Sergeant Ballan tine for nearly an hour in Westminster Hall. Mr. Chambers objected to that being received in evi dence, as it was a mere accidental meeting, and would not be considered as a professional appointment. On that ground he should object to any further examination on the subject. Mr. Sergeant Shee contended that it was immaterial whether the conversation or consultation took place in Westminster Hall or its chambers. Witness—l communicated the result of the conversation to Mr. Hatch. Mr. M. Chambers—l altogether object to the opinion of Mr. Ballantine being given as it were incidentally. Witness—l had a long conversation shortly after the meeting of Sergeant Ballantine. I told him, after briefs were delivered, a full consultation would take place. Mt. Hatch said he must be guided by his counsel, but he wished to have witnesses called. I told Mr. Hatch why I thought such a course would not be judicious. 1 stated generally with reference to that which occurred in the bed room that, as be or Mrs. Hatch could not be wit nesses, it must necessarily depend upon the evidence of Lucy, who would confirm the fact that the girl had been in bed with him. There were no witnesses at all as to the assault on Stephanie, that was confined t 3 them two selves. Mr. Pollock—And she has never been contradicted up to the present time. Mr. Chambers—That is matter for argument. Lord Chief Baron thought there was some contradiction relative to her leaving the drawing room. Mr. Sergeant Shee—That does not apply to Stephanie. The Lord Chief Baron—l suppose, brother Shee, you intend to show the precise acts of perjury charged or proved. I consider I am bound to express my own views as to the exculpation of Mr. Hatch. There might have been suffi cient to justify the jury in saying that Eugenia had com mitted perjury without going to the root of another matter. I think that when a pardon is issued it might be taken as an authorised declaration that Mr. Hatch was innocent of the charges made against him. The opinion of the jury was of no value in comparison with it. Mr. Chambers said the learned judge was consulted before the indictment for perjury was proceeded with, and he was of opinion that the indictment of the elder girl was quite sufficient. Lord Chief Baron—l should have been surprised if he had done otherwise, Stephanie was but eight years old. Witness proceeded—l wrote a letter to Mr. Onslow re lative to the expenvs of carrying on the defence, and two ur three letters passed between our firm and Mr, Onslow, who said he would not be responsible for costs beyond £7b. The statement from Brannan was put. into the hands of counsel on the Monday before the trial. I saw Mr. Ainslie once, Mr. Gird wood twice, and Mrs. Hatch, when I told them I would give them the earliest intelligence relative to the finding of the bill of indictment. I continued my inquiries till the 29th of November, and on that day I attended Mrs. Hatch and assisted her in despatching letters to her witnesses, On the morning of the trial I had a con• ultation with coun sel, and the result was that witnesses were not to be called. On the morning of trial I saw Mrs. Hatch's witnesses in attendance, and also witnesses for the prosecution. I have no doubt I might have said to Mrs. Hatch, " Don't tease me, I'm in a hurry." I was present at the trial at the Old Bailey, and received many short communications from Mr. Hatch, which I have in my possession. The trial lasted from ten in the morning till seven in the evening, When the court adjourned for luncheon I had another consulta tion with counsel, and after that I told Mrs Hatch her witnesses would not be wanted. I deny most posi tively that I ever asked Mrs. Hatch whether her husband was innocent or guilty. I was in court by accident during a portion of the trial of Eugenia Plummer, and I then said to Mr. Edwin James that if it would at all assist Mr. Hatch's case he might place me in the witness-box on Mr. Hatch's behalf, and state that wit- nesses were in attendance, and that he (Mr. Hatch) wished the witnesses to be called, but that counsel had decided otherwise. Mr. Chambers—l object N giving evidence relative to a conversation with Mr. Edwin James, who is not present. Lord Chief Baron—That's of no importance. It would Make no difference it he were. Mr. Chambers—l think we had better have the short hand writer's notes read of what the witness really did say. After some discussion, the examination of Mr. Lewis was proceeded with. [He handed in a letter received by Mr. P. Edwards, and written by Mr. Hatch, telling him that he was informed that his trial was fixed for the Ist of Decem ber, and asking him to attend as a witness. A number of memoranda made by Mr. Hatch at the trial, and handed over to Mr. Lewis, were also put in and read. j Cross-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—My first visit to Horsemonger lane Gaol was on the 21st of November. I put in my own diary to prove it. You will there find it marked in pencil. The learned counsel was about to put a number of ques- tions relative to the other business transacted by the wit ness on the 21st, as it was stated by Mr. Hatch that Mr. Lewis did not call on him at the gaol as mentioned, but Mr. Sergeant Shee interposed, and objected to names of other parties being mentioned during this trial. The Lord Chief Baron to Mr. Chambers—you can only refer t the book as far as the particular entry upon which you wish to examine the witness. Mr. Lewis then proceeded to explain, by aid of his book, how he was occupied during the whole of the 21st of No vember. Nineteen-twentieths of what he said was devoted to Mr. Hatch's case. I will swear I was not in attendance at a police-court on other business that day. My son transacted the ordinary business while I was en . _ _ gaged in Mr. Hatch's business. I believe it was in the afternoon when I went to see Mr. Hatch, but I cannot speak positively as to the time. My next visit to Horse. monger-lane Gaol was on the 26th—the only two visits I thought it necessary to make. The depositions were ob • " tained by our firm. - We never sent a clerk to tranrac business at Wandsworth. I saw the witness at the trial in Mr. Clark's room in the Oh Bailey. I was not there mere than about half a minute. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine examined by Sergeant Shee—l have been at the bar 25 years. I practised principally at the Central Criminal Court, until I received the coif, when I only attended occasionally. I recollect meeting Mr. Lewis i n 'Westminster-hall, when he explained to me the nature of a case he intended to send to me. I did notsive any opinion. I received the brief. I had a consultation on it . at chambers. The fact of calling wit nesses was fully ' cussed by myself, Mr. Robinson, my r easons and the junior counsel, and others. I expressed a very strong opinion at the time, and I gave Mr. Lewis my reason s f or it. ()Unions I believe still to be Mr. 'latc h ' s property; MA i>< tkat gelitlemq wigbo it, Miro 41Q objection to abate what they were. may stare this much, that from the impression made upon my mind by looking over the brief it would net be advantageous to all witnesses. That was not to be considered a final de cision. I believe I knew all the nature of the evidence to be . iven by the witnesses. I cross-examined the whole of the witnesses at the trial. I consider myself responsible in all cases I am engaged in for the calling or not calling of witnesses. Mr. George C. Lewis -_I ens the brother of the gentle man who has just given his evidenoe. On the 16th of No vember I visited Mr. Hatch in prison. At Horsemonger lane prison it is the practice merely for a solicitor to enter his name in the solicitor's book on his first visit, and not after. At Newgate and other prisons every vi s it i s regu larly entered. I saw Mr. Hatch in what is called the ma gistrate's room. My principal object in visiting was to speak to him relative to his procuring :bail. Mr. Hatch asked me what I thought about the case, and I told him our great difficulty to surmount was to account for a motive for the children making such a charge. the M e r o . l lf iei e t e o n ra e : b g o o o v k er k n e o p r t o a f t H tb o e rs g e a m te o , n i g t :r w - Mr. Lewis appear e d as a v i s it or t o M r . H a tch. i h a i n ch e Ga the ol na p rri ut e ionf Bateman, the keeper of the book at the prison, said that both the Messrs. Lewis visited Mr. Hatch while in confine. went. Cross-examined—Mr. Lewis, jun,, first spoke to me about coming here to-day. He subpconed me on the first trial. James Brannan--I formerly was an inspector of police. I hold a Government appointment as agent to an inspector of gaols and reformatories. I was eagaged by Messrs. Lewis to make inquiries relative to the Plummer family. I sent the report in that has been spoken of to-day. I never made a charge for services I performed, but Messrs. Lewis gave me about L 5. The indictment for perjury against Eugenie Plummer was then put in, and the reading of the evidence given by the children on the first trial occupied the Court up to the time of going to press.

INDIAN FAMINE RELIEF FUND. —The total amount received in aid of the Indian Famine Fund up to Saturday afternoon was £BB,OOO, of which £1,500 was re ceived during the day, including £l9l 18s. 40d. from New bury. UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGTL—NEW SCHOLAR SHIP.—The committee of the Pitt Club have handed over the sum of £1,480 to found a scholarship in the university to be termed the Pitt Scholarship. It is stated that in order to consider the propriety of selling the Great Eastern, and the price at which she may be sold, the directors of the Great Ship Company have determined to call a special meeting of the shareholders for the 31st of May. The articles of association require at least 14 days' notice, but to avoid loss of time a preliminary meeting will be held on Friday next, at the London Tavern, when the wishes of the proprietors can be ex pressed, the more formal resolutions being deferred till the 31st instant. THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—Rough weather has somewhat interrupted the operations of those engaged is the herring fishery off the eastern coast during the last few days, but the catches made have been pretty good. One boat alone came into Lowestoft with 14,000 fish. Frice, have ranged from 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d. per 100. Some diffi culty having arisen between several fish merchants at Yar mouth and the management of the Eastern Counties Rail way with respect to the rates charged for the carriage of fish, the former threatened to engage two fast steamers to convey their cargoes from the roadstead to London. It is stated, however, that the difference has since been adjusted. Preparations are being made for the commencement of the mackerel fishery. A GRATEFUL OFFERING.—The seamen visiting the port of Blyth, in Northumberland, have sent an addi tional donation of £6, contributed in small sums varying from threepence upwards, to the National Lifeboat Institu tion. Who better than seamen can appreciate the comfort of knowing where t,) run for a lifeboat when on a lee shore and no port of refuge near. When vessels are overtaken by an off-shore gale of wind on our north-east coast, no shelter is often afforded them until they reach Yarmouth Roads, where, alas I too frequently the bodies of their un happy crews are found floating on the outlying sand-banks ; but where, let it be said to the horror of our lifeboat service, the lifeboats of this important institution are often engaged in performing the noblest deeds to sufferiug humanity. The Registrar-General for Scotland, who hes hitherto issued no detailed annual reports, has just commenced the series beginning with his fir s t y ear of o ffi ce, 1855. Taking first the births, the super intendent of statistics calls attention to the circum stance that the proportion of boys born to girls is greater in the rural districts than in the towns, in which, indeed, in that year the illegitimate boys born were absolutely fewer in number than the girls. This is attributed to a residence in towns weakening the physical strength of parents, , and i t is considered a rule so established as to affo r d male progeny." valuable hint to those who desire male _ progeny." With reference to incontinence, the report states t hat it is found most preva lent in those districts in which farm work is done by unmarried young then and women, who sleep in the farmhouse, or sometimes in bothies set apart for that purpose. It is contended that in many of the irregular connexions which too often in Scot land are substituted for marriage, the parties are true to each other, and th a t, indeed, the vice of un chastity seems greatly owing to the excess of a Scottish virtue, for the proportion of illegitimate births is highest where the test of signature of the marriage register indicates the greatest prevalence of education, and where, therefore, it may be sup posed that the prudential check operates most to prevent improvident marriages. It would appear from the year's returns, that though marriages are much fewer in Scotland than in England, yet when Scotchwomen do marry they are more prolific than the English. Some rather curious matrimonial statistics are supplied. It is remarked that widows marrying bachelors, selected, as a general rule, husbands younger than themselves ; "the status which the widow had acquired by her former mar riage presented inducements to the unsettled bachelor, which gave the widow a great advantage over her unmarried sisters; and as power is dear to every heart, a younger member of the opposite sex was selected, as more likely to leave that power in her hand than if the chosen second husband had been her senior in years." The Scotch stand the educational test well ; 88.6 per cent. of the men who married, and 77.2 of the women, signed their names. In . England, in the same year, the proportions were 70.5 and 58.8. The deaths in the year (a year of more than average mortality) were only 206 in 10,000 persons, showing. on Scot laud to be one of the very healthiest coun trieso of the face of the globe. The annual perm A s n eo a tian-, deaths to population is stated thus women died 2.06; England, 2.21 ; France, 2 2.52 ; Holland, 2.76 ; Prussia, 2 - 83; P.

Although the field for the Chester Cup was small, it care tainly proved the correctness of Mr. Topham's judgmen when he allotted such light weights to Chere Arnie, Horace, Herne, and Man-at-Arms. The result showed that it was rot the foregone conclusion for Goddiug's stable that caused such abuse to be heaped on Mr. Topham. Next year the handicap will be submitted t..) the stewards of the meeting for their approval before its publication. The stewards elect are the Marquis of Ailesbury, Lord Courte nay, the Earl of Stamford, the Earl of Chesterfield, Sir Lyd • stone Newman, and R. E. Naylor, Esq., and under the scrutiny of such a competent tribunal errors of judg ment will be pointed out and corrected. Mr. Topham's office is a ;most arduous and disagreeable one, and he is doubtless delighted to be relieved of some of the respond. bility which attaches to it. I may here remark that two of the three I selected to beat the field ran first and seconile piow D iofohin ti nica ri tih n i:ty g sehtrrephe t on hi t t i neeting the Derby betting was occasionally very spirited, and the movements in reference to it wore watched with much interest. Dundee was in great force at 7 to 2, 10 to 3, sto 2, and finally 9 to 4.

F en ao o oT b rft,h e is was the support conceded to the horse that ho advanced incidents connected with speculation on the Derby, for of Surplice's year, when 17 went to the post, and it may not be over that of Wild Dayrell's 12 competitors were mustered. The Stewards' Cup gave Chere Arnie an opportunity of turning the tables on Ben Webster, as she met him on 101 b better terms tha n i n Wednesday's race, and Ben had besides ran a severe race with Cosmopo lite on the previous day. The latter's running in the Gres.. venor Stakes was very bad, for General Hess had no busi ness before him at racing weights, but the excuse that 'he nearly slipped down while running onthe tan laid down at the - last turn was a reasonable one, as the rain rendered it such I dangerous going that all the jockeys were unanimous in the opinion it should be removed. The General himself was beaten by an accident on Thursday, being completely shut in while running for the Marquis of Westminster's Plate, or Duneany would never have beaten him ; and thus the talent was twice at fault with Captain Little's unlucky little horse, which seldom wins when backed for a good stake. The York Spring Meeting commences to-morrow and extends over Wednesday. There are seven races set for decision on the first day, including the Great Yorkshire Handicap. The Zetland Stakes (5 furlongs 44 yards). From the ' dark division I prefer the chance of Zetland, and of the public performers Manrico, who is penalised 71b., will run forward. The Craven Stakes ought to fall to Angelo. The Great Northern Handicap will not produce a large field, to be chosen from the following : PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCKEYS. RIDER. HORSE. Ben Webster .. L. Snowden. - The Wizard .. Ald croft. Crater .. .. F. Adams. Horror .. Lady Trespass .. First Lord .. Syringe .. Millionaire .. York Minster 1 .. . • J. Snowden. The Prophet .. Culvert, Guilder .. .. • • .. Daley. Fisherman .. • • .. Johnson. Ben Webster is penalised 101bs, which puts his chance out. The Wizard will find the distance in the Flying Dutchman's Handicap suit him better. Crater, from his easy defeat of Malta, appears the most formidable in the race. Horror, if he has recovered his last year's form, ought to be very dangerous. Lady Trespass will be John Osborne's representative, and may get a situation. Syringe, First Lord, and Millionaire, will find the distance too far. Yorkminster will improve on his running in the Dee Stakes. The best outsider is The Prophet. The winner I anticipate will be .. Fordham. .. J. Osborne. .. Bullock. .. Madden. CRATER. The Flying Dutchman's Handicap I expect The Wizard or Benbow will secure. The Roweliffe Stakes appears a gift to Jung Frau. In the Londesborough Handicap, Lupellus, Horace, or Spicebox ought to beat the field, and I prefer their chances in the order named. The only event of importance to be decided at Salisbury is the Great Wiltshire Handicap, and, from the light weight of Betts, and the forward position he occupied in the Dee Stakes, he ought to have no difficulty in disposing of the rest of his opponents. A FRESH MAN. London, May 13, 1861. ARRIVALS AT YORK. Angelo, Brassey, The Prophet, Lady Louisa, First Lord, Horace, Lopcatcher, Longshot, Baliverne, and Count 8010. The course is in good order. BETTING AT MANCHESTER---SATuRDAT. There was but little doing on the Derby. sto 2 was laid against Dundee, and 11 to 2 was taken agst Diophantus ; Imaus and Neighbour seemed a little out of favour; but Rouge Dragon, Kildonan, Kettlechum, Klarikoff, and Dic tator had each supporters at any slight advance in the odds. There was some spirited speculation on the Great Northern Handicap, for which Crater was installed favourite at 4 to 1; but there was a fair amount of money gut upon The Wizard, who finished at 6 to 1 (taken). The principal feature of the day was settling upon the Roodee events, which was so far satisfactory, for very few missed laying against the winner of the great race ; but, so far as we could judge, although the winner was a favourite, he may be considered harmless in this market.
