TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING.

As might be anticipated on the " off day "—and the
Leicester meeting on—the attendance was small. The
transactions were correspondingly meagre, and, save and
except that the "turf talk" during the afternoon clearly
indicated that Lord Clifden still occupied an equivocal
position in the market, and that The Ranger was rather
" shaky," there was no feature worth recording. Bto 1
was accepted about Lord St. Vincent's horse, although
later OR, when but few were present, there were offers to
take 7to 1. The Avenger was unmistakeably firm, sto 1
being the highest offer, but half a point more would have
been taken kindly. Queen Bertha was very healthy, and
at 6to 1 would have met with support.. A commission was
out in the morning in favour of Golden Pledge, but the
layers got on the scent, and in the City offers of 100 to 12
did not meet the views of the "commissioner," and conse-
quently nothing was done. At Hyde-park Corner he was
even in better odour; and although his City price would
have been readily snatched up, 8 to 1 was the highest offer,
and which was accepted once or twice; £7OO to £2OO was
booked about The Ranger and Lord Clifden coupled; £4OO
to £2OO that The Ranger does not finish one of the first
three, and £lOO to £4O against Lord Clifden being first,
second, or third. One or two animals were " put up " for
the Cesarewitch, but beyond some chaff about the "cripples,"
and offers of 1000 to 30 on the field for the Cesarewitch, the
great autumn handicaps were scarcely touched upon.

BETTING AT MAN CHESTER—VE(3I.MAX.
---
For the St. Leger, Avenger and The Ranger were about
equal favourites, ee 6 to 1 would have been taken about
either of them. The same figure (offered) stood against
Queen Bertha, but less than 13 to 2 was declined. Lord
Clifden seemed firmer to-day, as Bto 1 was booked about
him, and no higher offer than 7 to 1 was
made at the close.
A bet of 3 to 1 was taken during the day that he would be
in the first three, and another of 2 to 1 was offered that he
ran for the St. Leger. Closing prices :

ALLEGED MURDER OF A. BANK CLERK.—Yester-
day morning considerable excitement was created
in the district of Aldgate, by a rumour that a 07 whg gentle-
man, a clerk in the City Bank, had been found murdered in
night of Sept. 3. Mr.
the
gh rivern 0. u

throughout the metropolis walls were placarded with de-
him in every direction. H
--e Could nowhere be found. On
swcreipdtineoendseoyf,
hheiwme,vaenr,dbitshbe p
e d:lice had made inquiries after
as
discovered floating in the
Thames, off the St. Katharine's Neks. ,
It was removed to
the Aldgate dead-house, and upon examination marks of ill-
usage
4nothe beofaecned body. There was no
money or other property found in the pockets, but the de-
ceased was
was foundtated p
to o inleomparatively good cir-
cumstances, and not to have been in the least likely to have
committed self-destruction. It has been ascertained, that
at midnight last Thursday Mr. Itt-
---nrris was in Arthur-street
su
East, near London-hridge, talking to a woman, and he was
never seen alive after. He had been just previously stand-
ing with a man near the same spot, but whether the woman
and the man were connected is not Precisely mown. !,here
appears to
injuriesbe no doubt that the deceased was robbed, and
the fact of t' 'being
indicate that he was robbed with violence. Such an (nit-
rage could hardly have taken place, even at midnight, in so
en a spot, and t
herefore the inference is that the woman
open a spot, and therefore the infe bOfl at mldiiight, in so
must have enticed biro down the steps to the river side,
where the crime might have been accomplished without ob-
servation. Who the woman Was has not as yet been ewer-
' tained. -

The Mina Journal states that a member of the
Fiscal Chamber of Oszmiana, named Suadzki, has just been
shot under sentence of a court-martial; he had belonged to
an insurgent band,
