BETTING AT MANCHESTER--TUESDAY.

Judging from the number of influentials that had al-
ready left for York, and others that departed this after.
no ,n, our office here will be a sinecure during the re-
mainder of the week. Importance only will be attached
to the operations at the scene of action. The business
that was transacted at the Post-office Hotel to-day left
u little to dilate upon. 5 to 2 was currently offered
against Vandal ; that figure was, however, taken in one
bet to 100/. Escape was hacked rather freely at any-
thing over 10 to 1. Saucebox was unmistakeably
" by," offers of 8 to 1 being numerous, and what
would have been his taking priCe we are unable to say.
Hospodar and Homily held a very slender footing in
the bitting, and we should may the odds against each are
nearer 20 to 1 than 10 to 1. Mosquito was much in-
quired after for the Doncaster St. Leger, but the only
bet laid against her was 240 to 20. 6to 4 was currently
offered against Oulston. - •
The following are the only qttotations that we deem
necessary to give :

FIRE AT 112 &.:.lifilkßa','l, NEAR WEST-
MINSTER NUDGE.

. . •
Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out the premiPs
of Mr. George Myers, the 'extensive builder, Guildford-.
street, Belvidere-road, Lambeth, which nt one time
threatened the most appalling consequences to. the sur-
rounding neighbourhood. • '
The premises in question were very coromodious, the
workshop in which the catastrophe took place being 40
feet long by 20 wide, and principally filled with sashes
for the huts for our brave soldiers in the East. Imme-
diately adjoining the premisei where the fire occurred
are those of Messrs. Gammon, builders, of Edward-street,
whose workshops were necessarily filed with,combustible
materials, which if once ignited would have communi-
cated with the extensive bnildirigs in the bou
neighrhed.
• Luckily, shortly after the outbreak, the powerfulo en-
gines of the Waterloo.road.- Chandos-street, Southwark-
bridge-road, and West of England brigades reached the.
spot, which speedily got to work in an admirable wan-
ner, having a plentiful supply pf water from the main of
the Lambeth Waterworks, under the direction of Messrs.
Henderson, Fleming, Hamhleton, and Connorton. • The
firemen, with great perseverance, succeeded in-prevent-
ing the flames from spreading across the yard, and the
fire was entirely confined to the building where it
occurred. The London. fire lbs,ting•engine from South• ,
wark Bridge also arrived, under the direction. of engineer
G rrard. but its services were not required.
Great praise is due to Superintendent Event.,
Inspector Cowlen, and Mr. White, of the County Fire
Office, for the very efficient wanner in which they dis-
charged their duties in rendering assistance to , the Lon-
don Fire Brigade.
The following is Mr. Braidwood's official report...—
" Mr. G. Myers, builder, workshop, 20 feet by 40 feet,
; burnt out, on first floor, aid roof destroyed.—lnsured.
" No. 14, Edward-street, Belvidere•road.—E. Gam-
mon, builder, roof "-of workshop very considerably
damaged by fire, and contents by water .and removal.—
; Insured."

FEIOHTPUL ACCIDENT BE FlRE.—Yesterday morning
Mary Croshey, Pomona-place, Fulham, was standing
with her back to the fire, when the wind from the door
wafted her dress against. the .bar ,ef the; grate ; the dress
became ignited, and she was soon enveloped in fire.
The flames were extinguished, and she was taken to St.
George's Hospital ; but she remains in a frightful con-
dition. • .
