TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY.

This afternoon was certainly one of the busiest therein('
been at Albestigate for some time peat The Subscription-
room was thronged with members, and it WU evident from
the first that some important moves were on the board in
connexion with next week's leviathan handicap. Directly
betting started there was a i ush to get on Jollity, about
whom there had been a perfect furore at the clubs during
the morning. The opening price against this horse was 10
to I. which was accepted with the utmost avidity ; 9 to 1
was afterwards almost as freely taken, and finally backers
were content with a point less. Another new favourite
then appeared in Proainpine, who In a very short space of
time was backed to win some thousands at 1000 to 80. It
is remarkable that both these horses were, on Saturday,
friendless at 50 to 1, and were to all appearence sent to the
right about. Notwithstanding this marked demonstration
Biedamente held her ground, and her supporters, who cal-
culated upon obtaining an extra point or two bout her
through the turn that affairs had taken, were disappointed,
and in the end accepted the old price of 10 to 1. On the
other hand, Lothano gave way slightly—but slightly only
—for the baron's hone was firmly supported throughout
at 1000 to 80. Neither was the position of Dubiety affected
by the new order of things, the daughter of Weatherbit
finding plenty of friends, great and little, ready to swept
1000 to 70 and 100 to 7. Potomao—the inserutahle—ap-
peered to be following " the hand that beck-
oned her away," for although she was occasionally
backed for small sums at 20 to 1, those odds
were persistently offered to the close. Ethelred was
di zidedly shelved for the time being and the intermitent
me-lion of his name produced no effect. Chepstow, who
has been on the decline since Friely, slid another step
downward to-day, and a speculator offering to lay 3to 1
thathe did not start for this race could find no ens to take
up the gauntlet. llama and Zenobia fell into a position
between the front and rear ranks, and met with a mode-
rate amount of support at 1000 to 30. Mathilde and the
Duke of York travelled in the same compel twat at 40 to
1 offered, yrhile Pearl Diver,wbo had so healthy an appear-
ance on'Saturday, receded to 50 to 1. The outside fennel
were few and far between. Mr. Payne's " second string,"
Dulcimer, was backed at 1000 to 20 ; War, at 1000 to 1.5,
and two "chucked "old ones—Gibraltar and Comus—at
500 to 5. &absorbing was the interest in the Cesr-esitah
thatapeculation on the Cambridgeshire was kept at bay;
occasional offers of 8 to 1 on the fieldroet with no resixinse,
and the only two horses we saw backed were Charmette
and Aetna, who were intrusted with small investments at
40 to 1 and 50 to 1 respectively. For the Derby, DRstour-
nel was the nominal favourite, at 1000 to 70 offered, while
the actual transactions were limited to the tau quotations
mentioned below. The closing prices were as follows .

EU'LOsTON AT WOOL wzca ARSENAL. —Last even-
ing, about ten minutes to di o'clock, much excitement pre-
vailed in the town of Woolwich and for a radius of some
two or them miles distant, in consequence of the loud re-
port of what was ern known to be an explosion of some
description at the Royal Arsenal. The workmen in some
departments bad not left the establishment, and, as might'
. be expected, the wildest rumours prevailed, and numbers
rushed to the main gate expecting to hear of a frightful
catastrophe, but, fortunately, this was not the case. It
• appears that a few months since a magazine of immense
strength was built near the canal, and borderin4 on the
Plumatead Marshes, for the sole purpose of stonng that
extremely powerful agent of modern warfare known as Fun
cotton. The walls of this building were of very thick brick-
work, having a vaulted roof, and it was considerably de-
tached from any other structure. Immediately on the re-
port being heard from the direction of the marshes,
Lieutenant-Colonel Boxer, superintendent of the Royal
Laboratories, with other officers, and a number of the
Arsenal police, hastened to the spot, and it was then
found that the gtm-cott..tn magazine had been blown up,
completely deatroyel, and the debris scattered in all di-
rections. A few minutes before the explosion a police-
eonstable was close to the building. At present it ill
iw-
possible to erne at any conclusion as to the cause of the
explosion, as the maguine was seldom open, and in con-
sequence of the well-known combustible nature of the
material, the utmost care was invariably exercised. An
' *miry will be instituted as to the cane of the occur-
rence.
