TATTERSALLIL—Mompar.
The gathering in the Subscription Roma was pretty numerous,
and business to a large amount was transacted, although it was
confined to a few hones. The Nottingham Handicap, like 'WO-
ler events of its class, having resolved itself into a post betting
racv• tail.' to attract aught tint the merest notice fu the course
of the afternoon, ..our the three horses mentioned in the quota-
tions being backed for ti Ming amounts. The Grand National
was invested with some little interest, and Shakespeare, who has
been so freely pot about within this last day or two, found sup-
porters at as little as 11 to 1. Neither Columbia nor Stoney
seemed to be greatly fancied, although the former did succeed in-
flecting occasional customer. at WO to 0 ; thaw odds were, how'
ever, freely offered to the close. Mr. carew's " second string,'
Dermot Asthore, was frequently Inquired after, but the price
offered appeared generally to be considered too short. and
the business transacted at this quotation was but limited.
Globule and King Arthur were each supported at the
same price, 1,000 to 30. None others were ineutiourd. For the
Northamptonshire Stakes la "proles" were taken about John
Davis, but the city and suburban and the cheater Cup were
never once brought on the carpet. The letting on the Two
Thousand quickiy elbowed that confidence in the favourite was
once more restored, for as ran, as 4 to 1 was offered against
Plaudit It was snapped up, and backers would have gone on at
the price, but in a very brief interval it was no longer to lie hail.
The supporters of Julies seemed for the than being chary of
their support, the oilers of e to 1 failing to tempt them . but
the concession of a shade of Mile would have brought his friends
to the fore. Two small commissions were executed In favour of
Vauban and Marksman at 100 to 8 each. Both Hermit and
Knight of the Garter were friendless, and a stray puny was
Invested on The General at n to 1. Speculation
on the Derby dial not evoke much solicitude for
the favourites ; it was a long time before the name of
either of them was mentioned, and after the offer of Sto 1 and
9to 1 respectively had been extracted, they Lined to make
any further alp. A bet of 1,400 to 100 was laid against
Dragon, and the horse was backed Pie several smaller amounts at
the same price. An offer of 1,000 to 70 against Plaudit was met
by the preposition to invest £5OO upon him at 15 to 1, but beyond
this expression of intention on each side nothing was done. The
candidate who came in for the greatest share of support was
Hermit, who was supported again and sgslu at 1,000 to 60, and
in the aggregate was backed to win little short of £15.000.
J anus war befrieuded to a limited extent at 25 to 1 ; but Vauban
was another horse in great force, all the I,ooo's to 30 bents( indus-
triously hunted up, and the total outlay upon him must have
readied a very respectshie sum. The big bet of 10,000 to 100 was
laid against Lord Allesbury's Splltvote colt, and at this point
business closed. In the course of the afternoon Admi: al Rona
intimated that the question of the bets on Soiled Dove will be
pane into on Monday next, and the decision of the committee
will, in all probability, be made known on the same day. Ap-
pended are the clueing quotations :

BETTING IN LONDON.—MONDAY Arrnsoos.

This being the first important settling day of the season, $
considerable portion of the afternoon was devoted to the adjust-
ment of accounta. Between whiles, however, some betting took
place, but it was nut to any great amount, nor did it possess
any remarkable feature For the Liverpool Grand National,
Shakspeare, who advanced and receded with such astonishing
rapidity on Saturday, again came in for considerable support
to-day, and was at one time backed at as little as 10 to 1, but
towards the close symptoms of decline were observable, and 100
to 9 was offered without a response. The stable companion of
"The Bard"—Dennit Asthore—was, In the meantime, freely
invested upon at 25 to 1, and these conflicting proceedings
seemed somewhat puzzling. Doctor was in sonic request, and
found friends at 20 to 1, and Columbia was made the medium
of a few investments at 20 to 1 and 100 to 6. Nothing was
done on either the City and Suburban or the Cheater Cup. For
the Two Thousand Plaudit appeared to be in slightly better
odour, 4 to 1 being the highest offer against him, while 9 to 2
would have been accepted freely. The furore about Julius
seemed to have entirely subsided ; 6 to 1 was taken in two or
three quarters, but these odds went begging at the finish. The
offers against Marksman and Vauban were identical, namely,
1000 to SO, and Berndt 1000 to 70—all friendless, Knight of the
Garter was backed for twenty-live ponies," and 1050 to 10 was
laid against the outsider, Dwain Glendwyr. Six fifties were
taken about Marksman and Hermit coupled. For the Derby 9to
I was offered against The Rake, but neither layers nor hackers
seemed desirous to operate, and beyond this offer his name was
not mentkmed. Repeated offers of 1000 to 60 were made against
Berndt without dick ug a noon's.). Julius would have found
supporters at 1000 to 30, but t 5 to 1 was the limit of offers against
him. Vauliau was in considerable request, being backed several
times at 1000 to M. Gerais Glendwyr was also invested upon fur
this event, 1000 to 5 being taken thrice. The elusion quotations

Non AND SOUTH WENTZEN JUNCTION RAIL-
WAY.—At the half-yearly general meeting held yesterday,
at the company's offices at Euston-station, Mr. Henry
Tootal in the chair, resolutions were passed, adopting the
report, confirming the dividend of 31. per cent. for the
half-year, or at the rate of Gt. per cent. per annum, payable
on the 4th proximo, for increasing the capital by a 1,600/.
for the purpose of paying off the mortgage debt, and au-
thorising the creation of new ordinary shares to that
amount. The chairman congratulated the shareholders on
the dividend which he hoped would be considered satis-
factory. There was a slight increase in the expenses prin-
cipally on renewal account. It wa.
_proposed to make a
new bridge at Acton over the Great Western, and there
would be • slight deviation, but the existing line would be
utilised as aiduigs,fic. Thisimprovement and the extension
of the stations at Kew junction and Acton were necessary
to meet the increased traffic which, when the new line
to Kew and Richmond was completed and the Midland
effected their contemplated junction, would unques-
tionably come upon the line. He explained the advan-
tages of paying off the debentures as they fell in by the
creation of new shares,which would be allotted rateably to
the existing shareholders at par, and the calls would ex-
tend over four years, the last falling due in 1670. It
would be necessary to go to parliament for the deviations
and new works, and a bill would aooordingly be introduced.
The directors and auditors retiring by rotation were re-
elected, and the usual acknowledgment to the chairman
and his colleagues, concluded the business.
QUEENSTOWN, FEB. 25.—The Cunard extra

and proceeded for Liverpool at 9.50 p.m. All well.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

Ihnry Brown, William Newman, and Thomas Charles
Cuthbert surrendered to take their trial fur receiving
quantity of silk, the property of MesstaTaylor and Stokes,
warehousemen, of Friday-street, Cheapaide.
Mr. Bailey and Mr. Collins conducted the prosecution ;
Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C. specially retained, with Mr.
Macrae Moir, defended die prisoner Brown ; Mr. Met.
calfe and Mr. Streight appeared for Newman ; and Mr.
Warner Sleigh appeared for the prisoner Cuthbert.
It will be remembered that this case, which has been a
considerable time under investigation, came on for trial
at the last session, and upon a technical objection taken by
Mr. Straight, that the indictment did not allege that the
property represented to have been feloniously received,
and which, upon the facts, appeared to be the only charge
that could be relied upon, was the same property that had
been stolen, the prisoner, were acquitted. The present in.
dictment, on which the legal defect was cured, was then
preferred against the prisoners, and to that indictment, in
addition to the ordinary plea of not guilty, they also
pleaded one of autrefois acquit.
The facts of the case have been so frequently before
the public that it will not be necewary to do more on the
present occasion than to give a brief narrative
of the circumstance under which the charge was
preferred against the prisoners. The prosecutors
carry on an extensive business an silk warehouse.
men in the City, and they bad in their ser-
vice a young man named Morrell, who admitted that be
had been guilty of robbing his employers to a ve y large
extent, and upon whose evidence the charge against pri
Ropers undoubtedly mainly depended. It appeared that
Newman was the manager of a mablic-houee called the Swan,
in the l'ortland-road, which the witness Morrell was in the
habit of constantly frequenting ; that Brown kept
a marine store dealers shop in the same neighbourhood,
and that Cuthbert was represented to be a commission
agent ; and the rase on the part of the prosecution was
that they bad all been concerned in the purchase of a
quantity of valuable silk dresses, the wholesale price
which was between 80/. and 901., for about DC, and that
they were all aware that the property had been dis-
honestly come by. There was a good deal of confirmation
of the evidence given by the young man Morrell, and it
transpired in the course of the inquiry that he had left a
parcel containing the stolen property at the Golden
Last public-house, in Cannon-street, kept by Mr. (is.
mond, and this gentleman was highly complimented by
I the counsel for the prosecution for the information lie had
given, and the assistance he had afforded to the prosecu-
tors in reference to this matter.

•
Several respectable witnesses were called and gave
excellent characters to the prisoners Brown and Newman.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr summed up the whole of the
evidence to the jury at considerable length.
The jury after an absence of nearly an hour returned
a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, recommend-
ing Brown and Newman to mercy on account of their
good character. A previous conviction for felony was
proved against Cuthbert.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr sentenced Brown and Newman
to 5 years', and Cuthbert to 10 years' penal servitude.
