THE GENTLEMEN ot , KENT. —The continuation of this match was re sumed on Wednesday, and until avlcut haltpast two proceeded with as much satisfaction, cons:dering 'he preceding unpleasantness ofthe weather and the consiquent heavint,s of the grouw, as could have been anticipated. The bowling, however, refused to tell, and the whole of the "Kent " wickets were not d own till the side had scored 333 runs, Mr. Whittaker having made up his score to 55 in the srecnd innings. England then entered upon their stcond hands, again putting in Mi. Craven and Mr Haygarth, and at the hour when the ra , n set in apparently for the night, 43 runs had been scored without even the loss of a wicket or even a chance having been elven Ly either batsmen. j he play of course was stopped, anti at (User lime it W., oiggcsted by Mr. Swann, on behalf of t!.e K. in Eteven, that tnere was no prospect of the weather citaring up amt cons , quently no chance of she match b e i ng plated out that day, It wou d be as well that it should be drawn. The matter underw lit considerable di•cussion, which real Ultin;'.:ele terminated by Mr. Kynaston, on the rant of Eng land, saymg that under the pre ss i ng circumstances of the case, the prop•sition of Mr. Swann would be acceded to, although his side felt the utmost confidence as to the result—the more so as the additional nun had made the ground still worse fur the bowlers than at any preceding period of the game. It was accordingly , agreed that the match should be Orawn, without—as the members •t the kg.) mmte,alm, would say-- any prdudice to either party. tber.tnre, upon .be mica will also be drawn.

Lord BROUGHAM then proposed certain resolutions for the regulating the passing of Railway Bills, to be added to the standing orders. The further consideration of these resolutions was, after a short discussion, postponed till to-morrow (this day). The Earl of ABERDEEN brought in the Slave-trade Treaties (Brazil) Bill, which was read a first time. The Irish Banking Bill passed through Committee. On the motion of Lord DENMAN, the Administration of Criminal Justice Bill was read a second time, after A short discussion. Their Lordships then adjourned. The Commons met at Four. Sir G. CLERK, in answer to Mr. FIUTT, stated that it was his ictention to introduce a Bill for continuing the Flour and Biscuit Act. Mr. DIVETT then directed the attention of the House to the case of Mr. PARROTT, against whom an action had been brought for evidence given by him before a Com mittee of the House, and moved that the party bringing the action, and his agents, be summoned to the bar. At the suggestion of Mr. WINN and Sir R. PEEL, AUGUSTUS HENRY MOORE, the attorney to Mr.PARROTT, was called in, and proved that the declaration in the ac. tlon had been served on Mr. PARROTT on the :26th for .Tune, in the name of KETTLE, BAKER, and GRANT, of 34, Lyon-street, for EDWARDS and FRY, solicitors, Totness. On the motion of Mr. DIVETT, Messrs. KETTLE, BARER, and GRANT, were ordered to appear at the bar on Monday. On the motion that the order of the day for the House going into Committee on the Poor Law Amendment (Scotland) Bill be read, a lengthened discussion ensued, but on a division there appeared, for going into Com mittee, 76, against it, 33 ; majority for going into Com mittee, 43. The House then went into Committee, and several clauses were agreed to. After some o.nver;tition a division took place on an amendment proposed by Mr. Fox MAULE tor the omis sion of part of the 18th clause. The amendment was lost by a majority of 34. The numbers being for the amendment, 30 ; against it, 64. Clauses up to 34 were agreed to, when, on the motion of Mr. WATSON, the Chairman reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. Sir T. FREMANTLE brought in the Drainage Acts (Ireland) Amendment Bill, which was read a first time, and the House adjourned at One o'clock. Nothi-g can he of more mischievous cons( quences han that the severity of a law, admirable in its prin ciple, but in its operation, perhaps, inevitably unequal, and occasionally cruel, should be aggravated needlessly, and most offensively, by the heartlessness or stu pidity—or the operation of both these causes—of churl ish officials charged with the duties of its administra tion. The Poor-law Amendment Act has enough to --nswer for, HEAVEN knows, in its sins of omission, which are many—and of commission, which are more. But we should scarcely have credited the fact, hal we not seen i;.bo particularly animunced—that a Statute which, whether its intrinsic god or evil preponderate, has certainly received an unusual degree of support from humane and upright men of all parties, could be per verted to so manifestly oppressive an application of the letter of Ls enactments as in the instance we are about to refer to. It is a tale of tho-e social anomalies among us, the horror of which is only blunted by reason of their frequency. It' a foreigner were now, for the first time, to arrive in England, unacquainted with our laws, and the ge nius of our Constitution, with the professed respect her h for the personal rights and privileges of the subject ; but thrown into the midst of that profusion, opulence, and luxury, which are concentrated in such masses in this metropolis ; what would be his first and very natu ral impression of the people and the institutions among which he then found himself ? Surely—that he had come among a people with whom wealth was all but uni versally diffused, or by whom property was univer sally respected, even among the more indigent classes of society. The magnificence of the shops, the bril liancy of the equipages, the sumptuousness of' the enter tainments, the almost careless display of valuable and precious property on all sides—and, above all, the ge neral patience and forbearance of those who had least in respect of those who enjoyed the most of these felicitous conditions of existence—could not fail to impress the foreigner with lofty notions of the humanity which the poorer and more miserable sec tions of the community must receive from the higher, to secure that respect for property wbich its exposed con dition, its abundance, its accessibility, in every direction, would at once lead him to infer that property, in effect, must realise. Without that sort of experience, which only opportunities for nearer observation could afford him, he might be seduced into the dangerous delusion of moralising on the happy influence of equal laws for the rich and for the poor in producing, among the latter, an unlimited respect for the possessions of the former ; in the former, an unbounded interest and sympathy for the condition and feelings of the latter. If this foreigner were told that, from a variety of causes, some of then: inherent, as it were, in our social system, our laws and usages, regarding the descent and distribution of pro perty, and many more identified with, or neces cessarily resulting from the accidents of our commercial relations with foreign states, and the fluctuat ing character of our domestic trade, there was a tendency peuperiem in some classes, cennnensurate with the tendency of the population to numerical increase ; h weuld readily co prebend the beneficence and the polic) of a poor-relief law. But what could be his estimate of the equity of the charity—of the wisdom with which the Legislature rewarded in the indigent and labouring million this respect for the rights of capital and pro pert} in •ither-, this upright abstinence from spol atioe e--r the str. n,.t temptations of appalling want, of squalid sin:i the bitter contrast of their own con. ilition ;shit that of the possessors of lands, money, and lucrative investments ; if he looked into the practical operation of that law of relief, which in the abstract he would riehtlyconclude to be intended for the succour of the " helpless and infirm, the aged, impotent and destitute ?" Would he nest blush with natural indignation at his own siniplieity and credulity in believing that England was a land of Christian charity, of humanity, of mercy ? What would he think of such a case as that which oc curred at the Greenwich Police -court, only a few days ago ? A gentleman was riding, with his father, over the estate of the latter, in a direction from Blackheath towards tie river, and behind a bridge, in a field, detects a human figure, almost in a state of nudity. The wretched object proved to be a female, with a fragment of clothing thrown about her shoulder:. After giving her a piece of money, the gentleman humanely rides to the Greenwich Union Workhouse, and informs the maser of her destitute and perishing co'i dition. This happens on a Sunday afternoon. The master assures the gentleman (in that strain of official slang or pedantry, which seems, to us, never so dis gusting as when employed by poor-law officers,) " that it is not the province (!) of the parishes to interfere. The police should take the woman into custody, and then the magistrate would deal with the case, formally." No doubt, a very proper and delicate technicality. But Gerdes AND WAGERS.

There has been a slight increase under the head of diseases of the organs of respiration, and the number of violent deaths is greatly above the average, being more than double the usual returns. The total number is 52. and of these 11 were suicides, 5 from scalds and burns, and nearly all the rest from accidents. Ten deaths by small-pox occurred under 15 years of age, and the remaining two at the respective ages of 38 and 49 years. The fall of rain in inches was 0.62. DRURY -LANE THEATRE. This establishment closed last night for the season, ;hen Mr. Bunn ddivered the following addri : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—l have the honour of ap pearing before you, on this occasion, with no other sanc tion than that of custom, to return you my acknow ledgements for the patronage you have been pleased to bestow up* our exertions. " The season now closing, one of the longest ever known in this theatre, has been beset with no ordinary difficulties. My old acquaintance, and former rival, Co vent-garden Theatre, has opposed us with every variety of alluremi nt, from a promenade concert to a provincial haz - tar. Most of my principal performers have been ill for a considerable portion of our time, and the elements have been sadly unpropitious ; yet, with all these draw backs, it has been made manifest that the class of enter tainment submitted to your approbation has been the preferable one ; for, under your generous protection, I have brought another a, ason to a favourable issue. " I never presume to enter upon that now hacknied ' question of legitimate or illegitimate performances. I have but one object in view, and that is to please the public; and when I call to mind (with no common degree of satisfaction) that portions of all our per formances are to be found upon the pianofortes of every drawing-room in the empire, I can afford to smile at the malevolence of those who affect to be disappointed. " I take leave to inform you that I shall re-open this theatre, with every degree of attraction I can procure, at the end of next September, and all which now remains for me to do is to thank you most cordially for that liberality which has enabled me to remunerate the many eminent a, tistes who have had the honour of appearing before you."

Now what is the sort of duty which the executive authorities under the New Poor Law are elected, and, in this instance, paid, to perform ? Is it to relieve urgent, instant distress, or not ? or is it meant to be gravely affirmed that a woman in no more decent condition than a famished, hutless, and unclad aboriginal female of Australia, shell not be looked to, until so many intervening forms and cere monies have been gone through, that the Commissioners of the Poor-law themselves can neither wonder nor complain if the indignation of the public should impute to them the having devised so vexatious and barbarous a system of procrastinated relief, with a view to evade the spirit of an Act sanction , d by the nation, if at all, in a feeling of charity for our suf•ring fellow -creatures —by a miserable, quibbling, and a rigid adherence to the letter of it? These things should not be. They are abuses of the noble law of ELIZABETH, and must not disgrace the reign of VICTORIA. It is little consolation to us, in the present instance, that the Greenwich ma gistrate expressed (a strong opinion that an indictment would lie against the master of the Hertfordshire union house for turning the poor woman out of its shelter. The Levant mail brings intelligence from Constantinople to the 17th, Smyrna the 18th, and Athens and Alexandria to the 19th ult. The rejoicings at Constantinoble on the occasion of the marriage of the SULTAN'S sister, the Sultana ADELE, with MEHEMET Au, Pacha of Tophana, lasted for three weeks, and were on a scale of oriental magnificence. The Archduke CONSTANTINE of RUSSIA was to arrive on the 18th. M. DE NESSELRODE, the son of the Russian Minister , had arrived. The a ccoun t s f rom S yr i a are unfavourable. The armistice between the Druses and Maronites had been broken and the civil war renewed. The accounts from Alexandria state that the Druses first broke the truce by pillaging the churches and convents, and murdering the priests, and now both partial are burning each other's mul berry and other trees. The consequence is that thousands of people are starring. The King and Queen of GREECE had returned to Athens from their excursion into the provinces. We have received accounts from Madrid and Barcelona both to the 25th ult. The Government continue to issue denunciations against Don CARLOS and his family. A circular had been issued from the Home-office similar to that addressed by NARVAEZ to the political chiefs, calling upon the authorities to take the most prompt and vigorous mea sures against all attempts that may be made in favour of Don CARLos or his son. The proprietors of the Espectador journal, against whom an action had been brought for libels on the Ministry, were acquitted on the 24th ult., by a jury of tvreve, ten of whom voted for acquittal and two for a con. viction. The verdict was received with loud applause. The Gazette contains an ordonnance for regulating transactions on the Bourse and preventing reckless speculation. It ap pears from this that the stockbrokers are to be liable for all time bargains and are to enter into securities for that pur pose. The Heraldo recommends the speedy return of the QUEEN to Madrid, but the reason is not stated. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA arrived at Barcelona on the 25th. On the previous day M. LESSEPS had given a grand entertainment to Generals NARVAEZ and CONCHA, and several Members of the diplomatic body, including Mr. PEEL. MADRID BOURSE.— Three per Cents., 22%, for cash ; 32 1 , for Account ; Five per Cents., 21 for cash ; 2134 for Account. The French Chamber of Deputies have passed the railway Bills for lines between Tours and Nantes, and between Paris and Strasburg. The lease for the former extends to 35 years and for the latter to 45 years. Both Bills were passed by large majorities. In the Peers the estimates for the year were presented by the Finance Minister, and also the Bill for the suppression of the slave-trade by Admiral Maui - Au. The Bill granting 18,140,000 f. for the improvement of various harbours and fortresses was passed by a majority of 94 to 4; also a grant of 200,000 f. for the celebration of the July fetes. The carpenters' " strike" still continues. On this subject the Journal des Lebats says The Government. has grounds for suspecting that among the 4,000 carpenters who have struck their work, the majority are yielding to the insinuations and even menaces of a comparatively small mi nority. This, in fact, is the secret of nearly all such coali tions. What has followed ? Have they been threatened in their turn—have they been arrested en masse—have any other means of constraint been employed? No. Ifany arrests have been made they have been very few, and only in cases where it was necessary to coerce those who dared to proceed to acts of violence against such of their fellow•workmen as were unwilling to submit to the injunctions of the coali tion, or those whose turbulence led them to pull down scaffolding. There are in the ranks of the army men who had been carpenters. The Ministry has allowed a few hundreds, not more, to be engaged by the builders, and thus the most urgent works have been carried on. By this means, also, the more peaceable carpenters, who had been kept from their work by threats alone, have become as it were under a protection, and the numbers of those who are thus enabled to resume their employments will increase as their fears are lessened. By this means, in fine, the danger of a general interruption of the progress of building will be gradually averted. The men of twenty different trades con nected with these works may then feel themselves at liberty to earn their daily bread by their honest industry. And this is what some people have had the audacity to call tyranny in the Government. The carpenters will, we do not doubt, very quickly be convinced that they have been completely deluded by the declamations of their pretended friends; and, returning to a right understanding of their own interests, they will be grateful to the Government for its long forbear ance." The " strike" has caused a great demand on the savings' banks. The sums invested on the 29th and 30th of June amounted only to 536,120 f., while the amount drawn out was 1,025,000 f. CALCUTTA NEWS. (From the Morning Herald.) The Overland Mail from India, bringing the Government dispatches, has arrived at Marseilles. The intelligence which this mail conveys we were enabled to anticipate on Tuesday last, with the exception of the news from Calcutta, which we have now received by extraordinary express, and hasten to lay it before our readers. The letters from Calcutta come down to the 13th of May, from which we learn that on the 9th a destructive fire broke out in the office buildings of Messrs. Macvicar, Smith, and Co., which, with all they con tained, were entirely destroyed, books, papers, and all. The fire soon seized the premises of Messrs. Sewers and Co , ad joining, which quickly shared the same fate ; here, for tunately, a portion of the books, property, &c., was saved. Messrs. Kilby and Co., also were sufferers, but principally in household furniture. How the fire originated was not known. The loss of Macvicar, Smith, and Co. is estimated at about 2 lacs of rupees. The total loss of all, including the buikl ings, is estimated at about sor 6 lacs. Such a fire, it is be lieved. has not occurred in Calcutta since it, was taken by Sorg-00-dowlah in 1756. (From the Bengal Hurkaru Frits' Current.) CALCUTTA, MAT 10, 1545. EXPORTS. The Precursor, with London dates to the 24th March arrived on the 4th instant, but the advicea received were not such as ma terially to affect our market for country produce. The business transacted has been moderate, though in some of the more bulky articles the reduction in the rates of freight have caused shipments to go forward rather more freely. Prices of all the chief staples of European export remain with hardly any change to notice. Indigo—No intelligence has reached this during the past week of the occurrence in the Mofussil of anything likely to affect the crop unfavourably, nor have we anything new to add to cur last report. Sugar—The new crop of Benares continues to arrive in small quantities, and meets with ready purchasers as it comes to hand. Exports from Ist to Bth instant—Great Britain mds. 48,790. Raw Silk—Demand for this important staple continues to show no symptoms of improvement, and the quantity disposed of during the past week is extremely limited. Silk Piece Goods, Corahs—Our last repert requires but little alteration. Transactions continue large, but all except the very best qualities, which are still scarce, are to be had ou somewhat easier terms. Sales during the week are to a fair amount. Saltpetre—ln our last we noticed a better inquiry for this article, and during the week a large business has been done, both for the home market and America. Shell Lac and Lac Dye—Prices of shell lac have declined, and there is little of good quality now remaining in the bazaar. The dye continues in good demand, though during the past week we have not heard of any large sales having been effected. Hides--There is no change to note in these goods. Superior descriptions are in fair demand, but prices of all the lower qualities are somewhat reduced. E./ports continue large. Jute—Shipments continue to go forward to some extent, chiefly on native account. The value of fair cleaned remains withou alteration. Linseed—Extensive transactions for American account are still in progress, and the high prices now demanded prevent all opera. Hot's for the home market. Safflower—Arrivals of the new crop of Patterghatta continue to be bought up freely rather above our last quotations. Rum—We do not hear of any sales on the spot, but shipments are going forward freely, being from the Ist inst., 33,344 gallons. Cotton—We have to notice a partial resumption of shipments to China and the eastward. New Banda has been sold at Sa. Rs. 11.5 to 11-6. Old ditto at Sa. Rs. 10-2 per maund. Opium—The bazaar has continued in the most excited state, and prices havebeen driven up nearly Co.'s Rs. 100 per chest during the week, and to all appearance are still on the rise. Freights—Tonnage has not varied during the week, and our last quotations are unaltered. To London and Liverpool—Saltpetre, 41. 15s. to 41. I7s. 6d. ; sugar, 41. 17s. 6d. to 51. 2s. 6d. ; rice, W. to Si. ss. per ton of 20 cwt. ; rum, 51. 10s. to 5/. 15s. per tun of 4 hhds.; hides, 51. to Si. 5s ; shell lac and lac dye, 41. 10s. to 41. 155. per tnn of 50 c. feet; hemp and jute, 41. 105. to 41. 15s. per ton of 5 bales; indigo and silk piece goods, 51. per ton of 50 c. feet ; raw silk, 51. per ton of 10 cwt. To Mauritius--Rice, Co.'s rs., 1 10 to I 12 per bag; light freight, Co.'s rs. 25 0 to 30 0 per ton. To China—Cotton, 3 dolls. per bale opium, 8 dolls. per chest. IMPORTS. Cotton Piece Goods—The market continues to improve gradu ally, and prices of nearly all staple goods suited for the season are firm with an upward tendency. Shirtings—Grey are saleable at a shade above last week's prices, while bleached descriptions fully maintain their previous value. Madapollams—Grey of good quality have been sold to a mode rate ext,nt, but low reeds are in but limited request. Jaconets—Fine white have been largely sold at an advance of two to three annas per piece, while inferior descriptions remain without change. Fine grey are also wanted, but of all common qualities the stock is so large that no improvement upon the previous low value can be noted. Lappets—There has been more inquiry for the finer descriptions of these muslin., and prices may be quoted 1 to 2 ans. higher, though the amount of sales is not extensive. In the common kinds there is no change. Lappet Scarfs—Demand for these goods continues very limited, and prices remain without improvement. Book Muslins —ln thtse goods a large amount of business has been done during the wet k, and prices may be quoted 3 to 6 pies per piece higher for the low qualities suited for Rangoon. Mull Mulls—There has not 13. en much done in these goods, and in prices no change can be recorded. Printed Goods—The demand noticed in our last for these fabrics has been continued, and for some styles a further advance of about two annas per piece has been paid. Sales have been considerable, and the market has an upward tendency. Coloured Goods—Turkey red twills are in fair demand, and prices well supported. Good stout Turkey red plain cloth, of 24 inch, are wanted, and would command high rates. Mule Twist—There is no material alteration in the demand for yarn. No. 40 fully maintains its previous value, and though 50 and 60 are rather dull of sale, our quotations of last week require little alteration. Turkey Red Twist—There is no change whatever to record. Orange Twist —A few transactions in this yarn are reported. Woollens—We have heard of no sales of any importance during the bygone week. Metals—Transactions continue on a very limited scale, there being apparently no demand from the Upper Provinces. Copper—There is a moderate demand fur sheathing, a little above our last quotations, for local purposes, but for all other kinds the market is dull. Spelter—A further decline has taken place during the week, 1,500 mds. having sold from Co. Rs. 10-10 to 10-12, and we doubt whether sales to any extent could be made without submitting to a further reduction. There seems no disposition at present among the natives to speculate in this metal, and from the Upper Provinces there is at present almost no demand. Iron—The market for this metal remains in much the same state, there being few sellers except at a much higher rate than speculators (now almost the sole buyers) are willing to give.

CARDWELL. Whitehall, Tiessury Chambers, July 1, 1845. FRENt H THEATRE, ST. JAMES'S. Theenterprising lesseeof this theatre, Mr„ Mitchell, took his bene t on Wednesday, and we were glad to see that he was reward , d, as he deserved to have been, by a full and fashionable house. Her Majesty and Prince Albert did hint the honour to be present. The Queen and her Consort arrived about half-past eight o'clock, and did not leave till the last piece was over; about half-past eleven. "er Majesty appeared to take the greatest interest in each of the three pieces presented, which consisted of Les Gants Jaime's, L'Homme Blase, and Passe Minna, the second piece being the ex. press choice of her Majesty. The royal party, to all appearance, en. joyed the clever acting of M. Arnal and his associates to the utmost. Besides the illustrious company in t he Royal box there were pre sent—The Duke and Duchess of Montrose, Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Marquis of Douro, Lord de Lisle, Lord George Pager, the Baroness Brunnow, Marquis of Titehtield, Lord and Lady Dinorben, Lord William Graham, Countess of Essex. Lord Duncannon, Countess of Cardigan, Lady Grey, the Belgian Mi. mater and Madame Van de Weyer, Earl and Countess Fer rets, Earl and Countess Craven, the Baron Talleyrand, Lord Giffild, Lady Harriet Bentinck, Marquis Clanricarde, Sir George and Miss Talbot, Sir Henry and Lady ;Wens, Lady Goldsmid, Lady and Miss Quentin, Lord Sidney, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, Sir Edward C :Icbrnoke, Hon. Mr. Percy, Sir Joseph Copley Lord and Lady Mahon, the Baron Ko'. ler, Lord Aylmer, Lord Somerton, Lord Cantalupc, the Earl of Chesterfield, and Sir William and Lady Georginia Codrington. Mr. Alltchell well deserves the patronage of the public, for, undis mayed by the difficulties which surrounded him at the outset of his undertaking, he has succeeded in establishing an annual senes of French performances; thus furnishing art entertainment which has long been wanted. His management is conducted upon the largest scale; and his engagements assume an importance not ink.- in the way of enterprise to ensure exce ll ence of special re. rior to those of the Italian Opera.house. He has o b v i ously spared prase n in t g ation and completeness of general effect; his exertions have consequently not been overlooked, and patronage of the highest kind has been showered upon him.

Ferguson and Taylor, of Manchester, report that— "As respects the staple products of this district, there has been an active business doing throughout the month. Calico printers have been less fully employed at the works, owing, in a great treasure, to the limited extent. of the demand tot the lighter styles expressly prepared for the spring and summer home trade; but during the past month they have bought rather freely of grey cloth, and the stocks of the finer makes, which began to accumulate in May, have been clea r ed ou t. Prices have advanced from I%d. to 3d. per piece, and the business of the month closes with the higher rates firmly maintained, and at the same time exhibiting a further tendency upwards." There are no ship arrivals to-day bringing later news. The very unanimous expression of disapprobation yester day at the meeting of Mexican bondholders against the firm of Lizardi and Co., shows that the view taken of their con duct by the majority of the public press is in accordance with the feeling of most of the bondholders. We will make no remarks at present on this subject so important to vast num • hers in this country, as the question will probably be de • cided without delay' in an English court of law. The Funds are rather firmer to-day. Consols bring 99, and have not been done lower. Exchequer-bills are 555. to 57s_ premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, are 102 to lA. There is nothing particular to notice of the Foreign Bonds. Spanish Actives have been lower again, viz -2718, and the Three per Cents, are flat at 38%. Portuguese Con verted are 65 1 /..

TATTERSAL US.—YESTERDAY. The Goodwood Stakes engrossed nearly the whole business of the afternoon ; it extended over an extensive field, but. in its final results, presented very few altera tions. The chief outlay was on the Libel, Pythia, Warp, Venus, Queen Mah, Glossy, and Extravaganza, the odds against each, with the exception of the last too, agreeing very closely with those quoted on Monday. Queen Mab and Pythia were decidedly most in request. Glossy began at 30 to 1, and at those, and rapidly diminishing odds, was backed to win a large stake. Extravaganza's first price was 50 to 1, the last 35 to 1, layers. lEgis was hacked at 16, 18, and 20 ; Wee Pet at 20 and 25 to 1; and Europa at 1.000 to 30.
