LONDON BETTING.-SATURDAY.

There we, but little speculation Co Saturday at " the
Club," although the room received its usual amount of
patronage. The way some of the leading favourites are
" played" with does not augur well for their firmness ; but
the industrious efforts used to obtain money from the "out-
side" division is conclusive evidence that all the good money
has been secured against most of those occupying prominent
poettions in the market. Silkstoro and Hartington were
very firm, as was also Benham Lass. There was a disposi-
tion to tack the American horse Umpire for both the
Ceserewitch and Cambridgeshire, but the oonunksioner ap-
peared to be restricted in price, and the price, therefore,
against the old Derby favourite was consequently nominal.
There were several sparring bouts with reference to both
Chios Arnie and Catch'em Alive, but it was difficult to
sieve the " chaff" from the wheat. After 1,003 to 45 had
been twine taken about Mr. Goddiog's mare. 23 to 1 was
offered at the close. About 25 to 1 was the taking price of
Ostch'ern Alive, notwithstanding an offer from • bookmaker
at the close to accept 22 to 1 in hundreds. The following
were the closing prices :
CFIiA BEWITCH.

IRT RENT (GRAVESEND) VOLUNTEERS ARTILLERY.
—The officers and men of this corps proceeded ea board the
Metis steam vessel to Sheerness on Friday last for shot and
@bell practice at the half mooe battery. The grins mad ware
68 and 32 pounders, and the target was struck four time%
one target being completely shattered and another substi-
tuted which shared the same fate. The shell tiring was also
excellent, and the commandant of Sheerness garrison, who
wile present, warmly complimented the corps upon the pro-
ficiency displayed.
A CONFEDERATE STEAMER RUN DOWN IN THE
CLYDIL—The lose, which bed been sold to the Confederate
governmeot about three weeks ago, was run down and sunk
on Thursday night off Oeorock. On her return trial trip,
the Chanticleer met the lona, which had been getting her
oomposees ndjusted that day, steaming towards her anchor-
age ground in Douro* Bay, when a collision ensued, the
Chanticleer running right into the starboard quarter of the
other vessel, cutting her nearly in two aft the mainmast.
The Chanticleer bacLed out, and the lons sank six minutes
afterwards. The crew, numbering 21, escaped into the
boats of both vewals, and were taken on board the Chanti-
cleer without delay. The lona was built in 1865 for Messrs.
David Hutcheson sad Co., and since that time has bees the
favourite punitive steamboat on the Clyde. She was 290
horse-power, and her tonnage was 325 tons. She ►ad ea
board a full woo of coals and general stores, which together
with the vessel were insured.
