BETTING IN LONDON.—BATuaDAy.

The proceedings were to-day of a dull and tame character:
there was an evident dearth et commissions in the market, and
several of the most prominent members were not •' in their
places." With the exception of a few stray shots on the Cesare.
witch, the St. Leger monopolised specubiUon. For this event
the partisans of Lord Lyon evinced unabated confidence, in the
first part of the morning brat, g him freely at evens, and subse-
quently laying a shade of odds on. The recent doings on the
Knavesmire have, as a matter of course, influenced the market
considerably. The awkward tale told by Rustic has caused him
to be driven back to double his former odds, while Strathconan
has been advanced from the rear Into the front rank. The form
displayed by Westwlek has also brought him Into make, and as
a place investment he appears to be strongly fancied. The fol-
lowing are the closing prices
