VISIT OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE TO BIRMINGHAM. mense cheering, the whole company him honour. rising to do BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY. The toast, " the Army and Navy," was proposed by Lord Hatherton, and responded to by Sir Harry Smith and the Earl' of Hardwieke. Last evening a grand banquet in honour of the visit of H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge was given by the mayor at the Royal Hotel. About 180 noble men and gentlemen were invited to meet the illus trious guest. The Duke arrived from Wyddrington, the mayor's residence, a few minutes before seven o'elcck, and dinner was shortly afterwards served. The guests at the raised dais were Lord Leigh, the lord-lieutenant of the county, the Earl of Hard wicke, the Earl of Lichfield, the Earl of Shaftes bury, tart Talbot, Lord Hathetton, Lord Cal rhrrpe, and the Bishop of Worcester. Amongst the general company were Lieut.-General Sir Harry Smith, Lord Ingestre, M.P., Mr. Scholefield, M.P., Mr. Spooner, M: P., Mr. Newdegate, M.P., Major the Hon. Somerset Caithorpe, Mr. Adderley, M.P., Mr. Beale, M.P., Mr. C. H. Bracebridge, the Hon. and Rev. Grantham Yorke, the Rev. I. Spooner (rho mayor's chaplain), &c. Aldermen Hodgson, Baldwin, and Ha,wkes, were the vice-presidents. A very magnificent banquet was served by Mr. Dee, and the customary toasts having thereafter Lord Calthorpe next Bishops and Clergy," acknowledged by the Bishop of Wor cester. Mr. SPOONER gave next "the House of Lords." The Emil of SHAFTESBURY responded. The Earl of LICHFIELD, in proposing "the douse of Commons," expressed the great pleasure . with which he had joined in the ceremonial of the day. W. SCHOLEFIELD, Esq., M.P.. replied. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE again rose and said— Gentlemen, I should never forgive myself if I did not once more intrude upon you this evening. After what I have experienced ti-day, both in feeling and sight, I cannot al'ow any other per son to deprive me of the gratification and pleasure of giving a toast which I shall now propose to you. I am persuaded that there is nobody here who will not cordially join with me in honouring it. We have been the guests of my worthy, friend who is in the chair, and who I am sure has as far as I am concerned, received me with liber ality and the greatest possible honour, which I ap preciate most sincerely. (Loud cheers.) His fel low-townsmen will admit that he has recaived my self and the other strangers in a manner which really does him the greatest credit. I should be wanting in my duty—and a mo-t agreeable duty it is—were I not to propose his health. (Hear, hear.) I hope I may be allowed to add to the toast, " Pro sperity to the, great anC4npertant town.of Bir mingham." The toast was drank standing with three times . three. been disposed of, The MAYOR said—l am sure that you will par don• me when I say that I feel some difficulty in introdu&ng the toast I am now about to propose in a manner suitable to the occasion. When we see at my right our illustrious guest who has honoured us this day with his presence—when we think of the planner in whieh the inhabitants of this town hive received him--when we haVe seen the loyalty which has been displayed alike by the artisans, the tradesmen, and the gentry of this town—l must confess I feel unable to say all I could wish to say on this occasion. (Applause.) The display of this day must have shown to his Royal Highness how much we appreciate his presence on this occasion. The objet of his, visit has been one of the gre►test importance—the opening to the inhabitants of a The MAYOR was hailed wiet the heartiest mani festations of respect. He said the inauguration of Calthorpe-park, affording as it bad done pleasure and gratification to thonsands, had caused that day to be to him a day of deep enj' ythent, and one of the proudest days of his life. His royal highness had thanked him (the mayor), but he had to thank his - royal highness fur the great honour he had con ferred upon him (Mr. Ratcliff) and his native town. If there was one object he wished to obtain more than another it was to serve that borough. (Cheers.) He'was highly gratified, as were all who had assisted him in that day's duties, and he sin cerely thanked them for the compliment paid him. At noon to-day his royal highness left the Mayor's residence, and proceeded to inspect some of the principal manufactories, from which he had not re turned at half-past six o'clock. The mayor has invited a large party to lunch with_his royal highness at the Royal Hotel. park which,• I trust, will ever hereafter be open to the public. (Loud cheering.) When we -think of the thousands whom we saw to-day panting for fresh air, and glad to get out into the free sunshine fora few hours, I am sure I only express the opinion of the town at large when I say that the generosity of that nobleman, and the condescension of his Royal Highness in coming amongst us, will long live iu the Memory of the teeming multitudes who are to enjoy the benefits resulting; from that generosity and condescension. (Cheers.) lam sure that I speak the sentiments of the whole population of this town— I exetpt none—when I say that his Royal Highness lives in the hearts and affections of every man. (Cheers.) We appreciate the condescension of his Royal Highness, and assure him it will be long re membered and cherished, not ,o n ly by us and cur children, but by our children's children, to the latest day. I feel great pleasure in proposing the health of our noble guest, the Duke of Cambrdge The toast was received with vociferous cheering, and was drunk with " three times three, and one cheer more." BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY, 8.30 P.M. The Duke of Cambridge has left by the Great Western Railway for London. TBE ANTRIPATED .REFORLII BILL. The Duke of Cleveland presided at a Conserva tive dinner at Darlington on Monday, given to Mr. Farrer, the late member for South Durham. About His Royal Highness the Dnke of CAMBRIDGE, on rising to respond, was greeted with enthusiastic cbeeis. He . said—Mr. - Mayor, my Lords, and Gentlemen,—l rise with feelings of the deepest emotion to return you my sincere thanks for the _ _ 450 electors were present. In giving the toast of the day—viz., Health of Mr. Farrer," His GRACE took exception to a statement recently made by Mr. Hutt, M. P., to the effect that until the election of two Liberals this division of the " The honour you have done me in drinking my health. Gentlemen, the Mayor has been good enough to say that he did not exactly know how to bring this toast before you ; but I confess that he has done so in terms more flattering than in my opinion I deserve. If he had not said a word, it needed no more than what I have seen this morning. (Loud cheers.) The Mayor will permit me to say, Birming ham has spoken. (Protracted applause.) Sir, as an individual, I appreciate that compliment, as every man would do'who was in my position. To find one's self respected and honoured in the man ner that I have been, by a great and enlightened botiaugh, is such an honour as any man would be proud of. But, gentlemen, lam not vain enough to suppose that such an honour is only due to my self. You, gentlemen, and all the men of Birming ham, have wished to show in my person a respect for the great institutions of our land, and it is on that account that I doubly appreciate the compli- ment I have had the honour to receive. (Cheers ) Gentlemen, it may in some respects appear strange that I, a soldier, should come among you on such an occasion as that weltsva ibis day witnessed. I venture to think there is nothing very extraordinary in that fact. When my worthy friend, his worship the mayor, and a deputation of yourselves waited upon n e, and inviteame to attend at so interesting a cerem.ny, I did not for one moment hesitate. Why did I not hesitate I Because I conceived that you, gentlemen, and my nob'e friend on my right (Lord Calthorpe)—to whose liberality I know you are much indebted—(loud cheers)--- - were engaged in a good work, and I wanted, in my humble capa city, or in any capacity I could, to bear my testi irony, and the testimony of the many noble friends lam happy to see around me this day, to so useful, advantageous, and excellent an undertaking. (Loud cheers.) We live, thank God, in the greatest com mercial country of the world. To you it is ow ing that this country is the respected and glori ous, and great country which England is at this moment. But to whom, gentlemen, do you look for assistance in carrying out the great projects you have constantly, hourly, and daily in hand.? Why, to these artisans, to those men we saw in the streets to-day by thousands, without whose assistance you would be unable to carry out any of those undertakings which have made England famous in the world, but who at the same time could not live in the comfort and enjoy ment we would wish to see them without the recip rocal assistance and mutual support they receive from you. (Cheers.) A great nation, that is based on such principles, founded on the mutual support of all classes of the community in their proper sphere, a country so circumstanced cannot but thrive. (Cheers.) It is therefore a feeling of great gratification and pleasure to myself, as it is to my noble friends around me, that such undertakings as that to-day inaugurated are becoming more and more general. I trust that in every part of this country we shall see equal efforts made in regard to similar undertakings. I think it reflects the greatest credit and honour upon all of you to have encou raged such a laudable movement. Gentlemen, I have further received great pleasure from coming amongst you, as nave not hitherto had the advan tage of seeing your important town. To-day I have seen your streets crowded with happy idlers, con tented and happy, because you have given them the means of being so. To-morrow, thanks to the care and advice of my worthy friend the mayor, I shall be very happy to enjoy the advantage of see ing those men employed in their various avoca tions, so far as time will permit. (Cheers.) But whether it be frorn the public or happyfestival which I have witnessed to-day; or whether it be from the interesting visits which I shall be able to pay to-morrow, I shall ever look back with pleasure and satisfaction to the two days which, through your kindness, I have been permitted to spend amongst you. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, before LI sit down I perhaps may digress for one moment from a peaceful to what may appear a warlike subject, though I am inclined to think that so far from being warlike it is of all subjects one which may more likely conduce to peace than anything else. It is a mistaken notion to suppose that men who, like myself, are soldiers at heart are the people of all others who are disposed to war. Ido not sup pose. that in this room there is any man more happy to see peace re-established in the world, or at least in Europe, than the person who now addresses you. (Applause.) Letme assure you, as far as my humble judgment goes, that to be at peace, and in order to continue at peace, you must not forget that such a thing as war is possible. This is far more a com mercial question than a military one. (Hear.) We military men have nothing more to do than to parry out to the best of our abilities the important inte rests entrusted to us by our Sovereign and by the countryyoucan for be but ityou, gentlemen, to consider a great co mmerc i a l c o untry whether i s unless you are prepared to carry your commerce 1 into every part of the world ; and in doing so to' feel that that commerce is secure. (Cheers.) The greatness of commerce is its security, and that se curity rests upon the means of backing up your commercial interests wherever and whenever cir cumstances require. For that purpose you have an army and navy, and for no oilier. (Cheers.) We want no aggrandisement. We simply want our commercial interests carried and guarded all over the world. Gentlemen, lam persuaded that that is an important, and if I may so say, a proper view of this great question. (Hear, hear.) No extravagance no absurdities ; but let us keep the great institutions of the country upon such a footing as shall enable England always to retain the proud position which I am proud to think she at this m omen t occu pi es . (Protracted applause.) I hope you will forgive me for having made this di gression. (Hear, hear.) I again thank you for the honour you have done me, which I never can forget, and I beg to return you my most heartfelt thanks. His Royal Rigi l nem te maed his seat amid at the present position of parties. He objected to the old designation of Tories, who, in the ordinary acceptation of th,- term, went out with the intro duction of the Reform Bill in 1832. There were now other denominations-s—Conservatives, Liberal Conservatives, and Conservative-Whigs, and there were also Destructivea and Radicals. But what was the difference between Liberal ConServatives and Liberal Whigs he coulcl.not understand. If a gen tleman who at the close of the late election said that Toryism was dead meant to say that all political principles except those of the Destructives and Radicals were extinct, hewould some of these.days find himself mistaken. The health of the members. for North Durham having been drunk, Lord A VANE TEMPEST responded; and - also al luded to the popular notion of party distinctions. There had long been a misunderstanding on this subject. People were: persuaded that the Liberal was the kindliest,-most conscientiou.s, goodnatured, and generous man in the world, and the Conserva tive the most tyrannical, bigoted, and awful mon ster on the face of the earth. He believed the people would soon opeu their eyes and get rid of th s fal lacy.. There was another idea—viz., that Conserva tism could. not be progressive ; that Conservatives were a species of political millstones, -immoveable ; and that Liberals were the only gentlemen of pro gress. He believed the people would r oon be relieved from this delusion also. AnOthor idea was that Li beral government was the government of the people; and-yet tha present ." Lilieral" Go'vernment was compose' of one duke, one-marquis,.five earls, four viscounts, three lords, and,nine.baranets. He was proud to-see the great families of the country tak ing their share In the Government, Lut in what sense could a luminouspeerage of this sortbe styled the Government of the people ? . The time was com ing when people would no longer believe that there could be no liberty or happiness except under Wh'g oligarchical rule, and when they would see that menj of great Conservative name were as much actuated by love of country as the few families who had lung held a lethargic monopoly of rule, and a real monopoly of patronage and place. (Cheers.) Mr. MOWBRAX..M.P., in responding to a toast, took up the same subject, and pointed to the great increase of expenditure since 1846 ; the miscella neous estimates having nearly doubled, the depart -ment of law and justice trebled, the stationery dou bled, and so on. This was Liberal progress, and people allowed themselves to be deluded into the belief that the Liberal party of 1857 was identical with that which under Lord Grey, in 1830, in scribed "Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform" on their banners.. The last act of these so-called Libe• rals was an endeavour to relieve themselves at the expense of the county rates from those charges which gentlemen ambitious ofa seat in Parliament had hitherto taken upon themselves—hustings ex penses, &c. The honk gentleman went on to declare his be'ief that no party would be more anxious to help forward a fairtßeforra Bill than his own ; and he hoped the consequence would be that whether Darlington got a member and elec`ed Mr. Pease or not, at any rate Mr. Farrer would be restored to his old place in the county. (Cheers.) A variety of other toasts were drunk, and the company became very jolly and noisy. MR. HARDY'S BEER BILL. Yesterday afternoon a large public meeting of county had been unrepresented, and he contended the beersellers of the metropolis was held at - the that this could with greater propriety be said by London Tavern, for the purpose of taking measures the 2,000 electors, a great part of whom "plumped" to secure the rejection of Mr. Hardy's bill for the for Mr. Ferrer.

(Hear.) Moreover, if a beerseller died, and left a wife, his wife was not to be allowed to sell any beer tilt she- had got a new license. Mr. MASON seconded the resolution. He stated that lie was a member of the deputation that waited on Mr. Hardy—a gentleman who was, he said, cne of those cool,and calm persons who never laughed, but only grinned ; who smiled, and murdered while they smiled. - He then proceeled to speak of the tyraiiny of the licensing system, and condemned the bill of Mr. as tending to reintroduce a monopoly iu the sale of beer. With regard to the 'argument that because men made beasts of them selves a check ought to be put upon them, he con sidered it as unreasonable to put down the sale of beer because men got drunk as it would be to shut up the .butchers' shops because men became glut tons. Mr. Hardy was the crusher of the wives and children of the beersellers, and the course which he was pursuing on this subject made him un worthy of the name of Englishman. Mr. JAMES LOWRY, who stated that he was a cabinet-maker, :ind• lived lieu. the Oxford Market, bore testimony to the improved accommodation which the working classes hal met with under the beur-how.i . o system, and denounced the bill as de- tes'able. The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. DAWES moved, and Mr. WYBROW seconded, a motion for the presentation of a petition to the House of Commons against the bill. Mr. BLUNT in supporting th e reso l u ti on , con tended that die beet sellers should not he contented with opposing Mr. Hardy's bill, but should corn mettce a movement for the total ...lbolition of the Fcen-ing sys.ein. (Hear.) He . did not see why beer and spirits should not be sold as freely as butcher's meat or bread. Mr. Bistro'', the secretary, said, having recently corresponded on this subject with the trade in seve ral large towns, he was sorry to find that great in difference prevailed among them with regard to Mr. Hardy's bll, and that the general feeling was that it would not do the beerseller much injury. It was highly desirable that such a mistaken notion should be removed. The single fact that the bill would prevent a be , n.seller from removing ought to be sufficient to arouse universal opposition. No doubt opposition would be offered to the bill by their friends in the House of Commons ; but its success would depend on the beersellers themselves. If the trade were indifferent and inert, the bill might pass, and they would then find, to their cost, that they had by their inactivity forged fetters for them selves that they could not remove. The resolution was then carried, and the proceed ings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair man. THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. (From the Times.) Certainly the Straits of Dover divide two very different peoples. If the one are very right, the other must be very wrong ; and if either Empire is celestial the other is outer barbarian. Conceive Queen Victoria, immediately after a dissolution of Parliament, transmitting through Sir George Grey a Circular to all the High Sheriffs, Mayors, and other returning officers, with a list of candi dates, charging them to use every exertion to procure their return, on the ground that nearly all of them !had given her the utmost satisfaction in the late Parliament, and with a few new and carefully picked men, ought to be trusted to do the same in the next. Conceive her dwelling on the support they had given to her dynasty, on their sense of the glory and the misfortunes connected with her name, and on their loyal belief in the name of Guelph, or what ever name was taken for the purpose, as the watchword and safegard of France. Conceive all this done in the most delightful confidence that the appeal would be responded to, —only just a little apprehension betrayed that the people would take it too quietly, too much as a matter of course, and let the Queen's candidates be elected by ex cessive and indolent unanimity. But go to Dover, look across the Channel, an.' there you may see the very cornfields and dwellinghouses of the people who like this style of things, who are governed in this way, who are proud of it, who indignantly spurn any other, and who are most acutely sensible of our own political absurdities. Is it possible to imagine ourselves coming to such a pass ? What if Charles I. had carried the day, with the assistance of his Holiness, his most Christian Majesty, and his faithful Irish subjects ? The name of Stuart would then have been the palladium of British order and British glory. Her Majesty would have found in the member for Buckinghamshire a zealous, en lightened, and eloquent champion of her dynasty, her prerogative, her estates, and her policy ; and she would accordingly recommend him to the par- ticular attention of the electors of Bucks. She would tell them that sho would take it very ill of them if they passed him by for some other less tried person : still more, if they used the opportu nity for factious disturbance by returning some bidy who was positively disagreeable to her Ma jesty. It is remarkable that Charles I, did this, not through Secretaries of the Treasury, or any other quiet agency, but openly ! and even then it was thought highly unoonstitutional. Napoleon 111. does it. lie says, with courageous logic, " Others recommend candidates, why should not I ? These are good men and title, why should not I recom mend them ? They have done their duty, and de serve to be kept on. You need not return them unless you like : but, take my word for it, you cannot do better." It would be very little to the purpose to main tain that our way is better, for the plain fact is that we have our way and the French have theirs ; and we might as well propose that cat and dog should interchange their respective habits or adopt a common model, as that either of us should fol low the example of the other. It is almost useless to discuss such a style of politics on this side the Channel. No Frenchmen would pay the slightest attention to what we had to say on the subject, and to oor English readers argument is super fluous. Any attempt of the sort would bring on a revolution. Every candidate branded with the Royal approbation would be obliged to retire, not only from the field, but from public life,—from the sight of man. The most indifferent or most mer cenary would redden with indignation if the candi date asked for his vote on so damning a plea. We have our own way, and it is the only right one in our own eyes. Instead of a name or a dynasty we take a policy, not always the distinctest and clearest, but embodied in men or in measures, generally in both. The measures refer to certain changes de sired, or otherwise, in our Parliamentary and other national institutions. No doubt, as a fact, the critical questions on which elections have turned fora whole generation have related to rather im portant changes, constituting, in the whole, a great social revolution. On abstract grounds it might be col inrably maintained that this continual and rather feverish agita' ion of serious changes affecting the relations of Church and State, the composition of the Legislature, the Courts of Law, the Colonies, and other imporant matters, was not much better, or, indeed, very different, from the standing ques tion of this or that dynasty in France • and that the sort of dictation which the mass of die electors submit to from the chiefs of party and opinion is substantially much the same thing as the Imperial rescript in favour of a list of 260 candidates, all proved friends of the reigning dynasty. But this is not an abstract question. The British people and their Sovereigns have long come to an under standing with one another, and there can be no mistake. So, as the old saying has it ' We 'b n b e e . longer remember that the Sovereign is re f sp , o e n t s s r it. to the people, and the Sovereign n We all feel a moral certaMty that Veviecrteonrecira:.s But pos terity will sit en her throne centuries h we are loyal on we are a nation of politicians, an ce in the the condition that we may hav con tinual reconstruction of our political eave s stem, and in out ou y r views.

But tlris is the very q uestion which the French wish to keep always o p e n. Their question, is not measures or men, but the ma n and the famil y . It must be admitted that the exaggeration is common to both countries. France thrives with a despotism, and we thrive with a very "anomalous" Legislature. Purists and theorists want a thousand reforms not only in the Commons, but in the Lords, and far more in the latter than in the for mer ; yet we have attained to great material pro sperity and social happiness. It is a question whe ther we shall get on better with a House of Com mons reformed into the most plausible and symme trical representation of the people—quite as much a question as whether our neighbours would get on better with any other form of government.

The sphere of the Mission is in a filthy town lately built and ra pidly extending, in an undrained swamp adjoining the Thames, seven feet below high water mark. The poor inhabitants have con tributed most liberally of their penury, and it is earnestly de ired to enlist the sym Cathy of the rich West towards this attempt to raise. the spiritual, sccial, and physical condition of their brethren in this poor and negiected district, in the extreme East of London. The Bishop is to select the Clergy. Full particulars of the Mission will thankfully be given (on appli cation) by the Rev. R. W. B. Marsh, Incumbent of Plaistow; the Bev. Alfred W.

With suc h a p ower a t work, showing itself stronger and stronger every day, it is not so ea to see why some politicians confine their attention to this or that scheme of Parliamentary reform. Throwing aside every other question for this seems of a piece with the great French question of this or that dynasty. Who can tell how the measure or the man will work when he or it comes ? Mean while, there are numberless other: questions less vast, less comprehensive, less fundarrtental, but, from their respective subjects and in their propor tion, also very important. Do they not lose by our political stargazing ? We need not risk all on the question of Radical Parliamentary Reform, any more than our neighbours on the question f this or that dynasty. Sporting Intelligence. TATTERSALLS'-TUESDAY. THE DERBY SETTLING. They who placed confidence in the satisfactory nature of the settling did not over-estimate the pecuniary strength of the Ring. The supply of money seemed fully equal to the demand, and the complaints which wore now and then heard were only those which might have been uttered o❑ an ordinary occasion. Still it must be confessed that the doubts which had been entertained in certain quarters had some foundation on truth and experience. Throughout the winter months, down to the period of her defeat for The One Thousand, Blink Bonny had, with the exception of a brief interval of depression, been the leading favourite, for both the Derby and Oaks, and in addition to being backed outright for her Epsom engagements, she had been taken in many heavy double event bets which have " come off," and which, owing to the mare's retrogression, the takers had little opportunity of hedging. The cause of Blink Bonny's losing her pride of place in the turf market has been traced to the suspicion under which she was placed at the beginning of the year, and naturally to the disgrace• ful defeat which she sustained at Newmarket. The in genious explanations, however, which have been fur nished respecting both circumstances, have scarcely sa tisfied those persons who regulate their investments in accordance with the publicly tried merits of horses, and who now shake their heads incredulously when the " unfitness" of Blink Bonny for The One Thousand is talked about, and who state, with a good show of reason, that 6 to 4 is not generally laid upon horses that ate " dead amiss" for a race in which they are likely to be opposed by any animal that has the recommendai i ms of health and soundness. Pelple, however, who are dis appointed, and lose their money, will say hard things, which may not be justifiable. The absentees this afternoon were not numerous. The " Sussex Gentleman" to whom we referred yesterday caused a notice to be posted to the effect that he will be ready to settle on the Monday after Ascot races, but this announcement did not seemingly lessen the desire to " sell out" on the part of his creditors. An Italian, who earned much notoriety last year by some peculiarly sharp practice with respect to Fazzoletto for the Two Thousand, and who was also distinguished by his inabi lity to write even sufficiently to book his bets, was amongst the first to show in what Mr. Dickens calls the " outer set of betting men." After receiving about 6001. he suddenly disappeared, and, if report be true, be is not likely to be soon heard of again. Strange stories are told of this man. Last year, when Fazz )lotto came sud denly into the betting on The Two Thousand, " the Ita lian" went down by express train to Worthing, where he knew a gentleman had " a book," and backed the horse at treble its market price. The bet was disputed, but was ultimately decided in favour of the taker. After that occurrence the man betted more heavily, and, de spite his ignorance, his word was accepted more freely than many other men's bond. Altogether some kind of romance attaches to the " distinguished foreigner," as he was called on the turf ; for it is said that he was ori ginally an organ grinder, and that a boarding-school Miss fell in love with him whilst in that capacity, and married him, and that ultimately a separation was effected, and the friends of the young lady make him an annual allowance of a sum of money. Such are the canards which are flying about, and they, " feathers and all," are readily swallowed by those persons who ought to be well acquainted with the facts. Amonst the legitimate members of the Ring very few are reported " wounded," and they will recover in time. Mr. H., of Arundel, and Mr. C., of York, are at present the principal absentees. The "outer set" has had its numbers mach diminished. Mr. Thorpe, who recently figured at the police-court, as a proprietor of a betting house in Jermyn-street, and against whom a sentence of two months hard labour was recorded, has not put in an appearance at all since the Epsom meeting. It may be remembered that be gave notice of appeal against his conviction, and that be was liberated on bail. Mr. Thorpe's creditors, and they are many, seem rather anxious to ascertain when the re hearing of his case will come on, and will sloubtleas be glad to meet him on his acquittal. As several persons at present in default have pro mised to make speedy arrangements, it would be unjust to refer particularly to them until the required time be expired. The approaches to the subscription room were, of course, occupied by a miscellaneous crowd of persons. Although the police were on the alert, we regret to state that one gentleman had his pocket picked of above 5001. The following list comprises the only bets which came under our notice : ASCOT STAKES. 8 to 1 apt Cerva (taken) 10 to 1 aget Winkfield (taken) ASCOT CUP. 5 to 1 agst Lance (taken freely) 6to 1 aget Skirmisher (taken) 7to 1 agst Pole Star (taken and offered) 10 to 1 agst Adaroas (taken) 12 to 1 aget Tasmania (taken freely) ST. LEGER. 2 to 1 agst Blink Bonny (taken to 1001.) MANCHESTER BETTING-YESTERDAY. The rooms were well attended to-day, and the settling upon the Epsom events was with briskness continued, with every prospect of it coming to a satisfactory issue. A few accounts were unrepresented, but the stability of the temporary absentees is beyond question ; and we may with every confidence pronounce the settling here as having been attended with no material disappoint ments. At intervals a little speculation took place upon future events. For the Union Cup (Manchester) sto 1 was taken and offered agst Stork, and Cedric advanced from 10 to 1 to 7 to 1 ; Bel Eperanza, Courtenay, and Bourgeois closed at 9 to 1 each—taken. For the Ascot Gold Cup 100 to 20 was taken, and afterwards offered about Lance. sto 2 was offered to money aget Blink Bonny for the Doncaster St. Leger, and 4 to 1 on the field, bar one.
