BETTING.

Very little has been done either on the standing stakes or those
of the en ,wing week ; the odds, therefore, are indefinite. In the
tan grand stakes (the Duke Michael and Sr. Leger), his Grace the
Duke of Grat nn's nominations are so numerous and (eompara.
good, that few will hazard offers against them. Many of
the Derby and Oaks favourites (but neither of the winners) are en.
tered to run for them ; and as they will be again on their own
ground, their performances will be looked to with great interest.
the General and Panic are in the two stakes before named, but
whether they will run we are not competent to say. Lap-dog (bro-
ther to Twatty). the winner of the Derby, is not named in any
thing. so that the public will not have an opportunity of arriving
at a decisive conclusion as to his merits ; this is to be regretted, for
many gond judges are sceptical on the subject. The Trial Stakes
to.morrow will create considerable interest, and It is expected that
nearly rill entered will run. The race, it is thoaght, will rest be.
twcea Rufus, the Interpreterlfilly, and Mignonette, all of whom
are known to be good horses. The Grand Duke filicHel is also an
important stakes, Problem and brother to Ivanhoe being the fa-
vourites; the former is known, but brother to Ivanhoe, who at
one time was first favourite fur this year's Derby, and did not run
through illness, is expected to try her. As some anxiety exists
relative to the odds, we subjoin the following statement, which is
the most correct we have been able to collect:—
Trial Stakes.

trilling odds taken that they are first and second.

A very valuable vein of copper ore has just been dis-

BRA ,IY.—We lately announced, and with satisfaction,
that a Treasury Order 'hall been received here directing our
Custom House to charge the duties on brandy, taken for
home consumption, according to the quantity and strength,
when taken out of bond. This was a just and proper mea-
sure, but we regret to state that a Treasury Circular has
since been received directing the Custom (louse not to
make any allowance, but to charge by the quantity and
strength imported till further orders. Why this sudden
change we cannot tell.--t .„
TIM sag.—Amongst the articles which are beginnin,, to
feel the impulse of better times, we may reckon timber.
In the Liverpool market this article has advanced 3d. per
foot (present price Is. 9d.), end a corresponding advance will
no doubt immediately take place here. We rejoice at this
improvement in the price of an article of such general
use, and which forms such an important item of export
from our valuable North American coloniet..(iltiSr,le
