CITY BETTING-YESTERDAY.

There was not a large attendance at the Club, which,
perhaps, may be due to the glorious weather. The feature
of the morning was the silent force, if we ►nay use the ex-
pression, of Scottish Chief, who bids fair to resume his old
quotation very soon.

Betting-7 to 4on Fille do l'Air, sto 1 agst Poudriere, 6
to 1 agst Perle, and 8 to 1 agst Gueule de Loup.
Mlle. de Rcsay and Somo Sierra, who had been started
to make the running for their stable companions, went
away at a dashing pace, with Gueule de Loup and the
favourite following, Fantasia coming last of all. No change
took place until after passing the stables, when the two
leading horses, who had been running a long distance in
advance, fell back, and Fille de l'Air and Poudriere who
had passed Scrupule and had been running fourth, placed
themselves in the van. From this moment the race was re-
duced to a match between those two. They ran alongside
of each other as far as the distance post, when Fille de l'Air
went away and won in a canter by half a dozen lengths.
The same interval separated Poudriere and Fantasia ;
Civility was fourth, Scrupule fifth, Perle next, while Mlle.
de Rosay and Somo Sierra tailed off and did not pass the
post.

HEATS OF SCOTLAND.--The Registrar-General of
Scotland has issued his usual monthly return for
R ffice,
the eight principal towns. It shows that since the establish-
meat of the Register-c
nine years ago, there never were
so many marriages or so many births in any April as in that
of 1864, and only once (in the cold April of 1860) so many
deaths. Births, marriages, and deaths have all been above
the average; life seems to be going on at rather a fast rate.
Greenock, Aberdeen, and Glasgow continue to suffer from
typhus ; and throughout the town populations one death in
evet y four was caused by the zymotic (epidemic and con-
tagious) class of diseases. The month was characterised
by a high mean temperature, 474, which is 2.8 above the
average; and the temperature was nearly uniform over the
country. The humidity was above, though the amount of
rain (varying from 1.2 to 3 inches) was below the average.
The barometric pressure was high throughout the month,
and in general free from any' sudden fluctuations. East
winds were below their usual frequency in April.

An exciting chase occuried two days since in the
streets of Bordeallr. Two stags, brought from
Pondichery by Captain Joubert, as a present for the Bor-
deaux Garden of Acclimatization, had just been landed from
the steamer, when one of them escaped from its keepers
and started along the quays at full speed, followed by a
crowd of people. The terrified animal at last took refug
in a cafe, to the great alarm of the customers present, and
was secured without injury to itself or its captors.
