BETTING IN LONDON.--SATURDAY.

The attendance at the Clubs was limited to-day, and
speculation asserted itself occasionally only in feeble
flickers. Some two or three small books were opened on
the Croydon Steeplechase, and the horses named in the
Luotations were backed for trifling amounts. For the
iverpool Steeplechase 1,000 to 30 was offered on the field.
The Chester Cup was also mentioned bat no actual busi-
ness was transacted. For the Derby 20 ponies were taken
about Blue Gown, and 1,000 to 10 St. Ronan. Quotations

SZTEEE GALE. —A rapid change in the remark-
ably mild and spring-like weather of Thursday and Friday
last took place on Saturday morning at an early hour,
when the wind veered round very suddenly to the east
and north-east, and blowing with the force of a gale, did
considerable damage. During Saturday night and Sunday
morning the wind increased so much that at times it blew
with the force of a hurricane, and in exposed situations its
strength WWI soon apparent. A sudden change had been
anticipated by the Meteorological Department, and on
Friday night it is understood that messages were scat to
all the principal seaports, advising the hoisting of
the caution-signals. This advice was speedily a:ted
upon, and the consequence was the detention of a large
numberof vessels, especially on the east coast,which other-
wise would have proceeded to sea. The captains of vessels
which arrived in the docks yesterday state that
during the whole of Saturday night and yesterday morning
the wind blew with tremendous force round the coast, and
the sea was very high. It was further stated that all the
minor craft at sea had on the first appearance of the gale
sought the shelter of the merest ports, and that several
had sustained great damage. On the north and east coasts
the gale appears to have been the most severely felt. Some
injury has been caused to the small craft un the Thames,
and the damage to house and garden property has not
been slight in all parts of the metropolis and its suburbs.

After our report left on Satnrilay„
Mrs. Pearse cross-examined by the Attorney-General—
The threats and the peculiar ill-usage of which wit-
ness complained were repeated hundreds of times.
Thought her husband either insane or extremely
crueL Hardly knew what to think of him. The
letters produced were written to him by witness. [These
were read, and were such as might have been ex-
pected tope's between wife and a husband who were
MY:1'12;110y theery good tesuble]ct InoflBst2s to'sr'sfatheoenrdusactw.
Could not recollect that she bad told Mr. O'Malley that her
charges &gained her husband were untrue, or that she had
ever admitted to him that she had herself been guilty of
violence to Mr. Pease. If she had made any such state-
ments, which she did not believe she had ever done, they
would be quite untrue. Witness's first child was
prematurely born, in consequence of her hus-
band's cruelty. Had never told Mrs. Hyam that
it was born on the very day it was expected. Had never
beard that Mrs. Sheen, her wet nurse, had married her
brother. Surmised, however, that such had been the ogee
from words which had fallen from her brother's lips Her
brother was now dead.

Dr. Le Bean, physician to the late King of the Belgians,
was called to explain a tumour which Dlr. Pearce had attri-
buted to a kick from his wife. It was, according to wit-
ness, really due to another and a very different cause. Was
also consulted in 1t832 by Mrs. Pears.. She appeared to be
suffering from bruises. Mr. Pearae said that in France
gentlemen were too kind to their wives, and in England
they might beat them as much aathey liked so longs. they
did not kill them. Had seen Mr. Pearse kick his wife.
Had formed an opinion that be was suffering from disease
of the brain, and told the plaintiff that he would end his
days in a lunatic asylum. Mr. Pease was a monomaniac
as regarded his wife, whom he appeared to hate.
The trial was again adjourned.
