BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TUESDAY.

As is usual on the days great races are decided there
was a crowd at the rooms, but nearly all the regular sub-
scribers were missing, having gone to Northampton, con-
sequently, there was very little betting, and that little
was confined to the Northamptonshire Handicap. We
beard no future event named except the Derby, for
wbich there were offers to take 25 to 1 about Dirk
Hatteraick.
