Jereed was backed at three or four hundred pounds, first at
a fraction under, and then freely at, 7 to 1, as little as 13 to 2
being also taken in one or two quarters. At the commence-
ment of the afternoon it was difficult to gay whether Brother
to Bay Middleton would rise or fall, nor was it till near six
o'clock that the doubt was settled by a bet of ten pounds to
one. Subsequently his friends bore up, and, at the close, no
one offered more than 9to 1. Benedict was quoted at 11 to
(outside price), but not backed, nor did we observe any en-
gagement made about Mahometan or Caravan. It was men-
tioned that there had been a trial in Lord Exeter's stable on
Saturday; if so, judging from the betting yesterday, it must
have been inconclusive, as there certainly was no very strongly
marked disposition to back or bet against either of them. It
is reported that Glider is amiss, and, on the other hand, that
Cartoon is again in high force. 700 to 20 and 500 to 15
were betted against Defender, whose party does not appear to
increase either in number or confidence. The following are

State :

and Huanchaco and Paita the principal ports of the depart-
ments of Libertad ; but of these, Callao alone is a free port.

paid in government bonds.

We understand a French gentleman named Rous-
seau has lately secured a patent in this country for his inven-
tion, as first intended for the improvement of Champaigne.
This discovery will solve one of the most important problems
in the art of brewing, namely, that of renderisag ales, cyder, &c.
sparkling, and perfectly clear to the last drop im►isediately after
it is bottled, without the use of any drug or chemical process.

AMERICAN SERVANTS.—" The dislike to being
a servant in America has arisen from the prriudioo created by
our having slaves. The negroes being of a degraded caste,
by insensible means their idea is associated with service ; and
the whites shrink from the condition. This tact is sufficiently
proved by the circumstance that he, who will respectfully and
honestly do your bidding in the field—lsu a farm-servant, in
fact—will not be your domestic servant. There is no parti-
cular dislike in our people to obey, and to be respectful and
attentive to their duties as journeymen, farm-labourers, day-
labourers, seamen, soldiers, or anything else, domestic ser-
vants excepted, which is just the duties they have been accus-
tomed to see discharged by blacks and slaves. This prejudice
is fast weakening—whites taking service more readily than
formerly ; and it is found that, with proper training, they
make capital domestics, and are very faithful. In time
the prejudice will disappear, and men will come to sec it is more
creditable to be trusted about the person and house, than to
be turned into the fields."—Cooper.

PERSIAN TA 1.E.-Sultan Mahinoud (one day) gave
an order to his Ministers to bring him the greatest fool in his
dominions. They were alarmed, for they knew their safety
depended upon their punctual obedience. They lost no time,
therefore, in sending the messengers into every province, and
were soon furnished with examples of every species of folly ;
but they found it difficult to pick out the greatest fool. At
length a man was found in his garden, sitting upon the end of
a branch which he was sawing off, and they all agreed that he
was the man. They led him to the Royal presence, and de-
scribed the situatioa in which he had been found. " And yet
there is a greater fool among us," said the King, casting a
glance at the Prime Minister. The courtiers were surprised,
arid entreated him to be more explicit. Upon which, keep-
ing his eye on the Minister, he replied, " I mean the nno
who would throw the country into confusion, and bring the
Sovereign into contempt, by destroying its best institutions,
which are to the nation what the branches are to the tree."—
Salisbury Guardian.

A. t the late assizes at Rennes, a juryman, probably
disliking the confinement which lie expected to undergo, ap-
plied to the Court to excuse him from serving, but met with
a refusal. During the trial of a criminal which was likely to
last too days he expressed his determination, as they would
not et him off, to condemn all the prisoners ! One of the
Counsel informed the Judges of this humane resolution, but
our juryman protested that he had spoken merely in joke.
The joke, however, was so little satisfactory to the Counsel
for the prisoner that he moved the Court to defer the trial
till the next Session, and to compel the jocose juryman to pay
the costs of the day. The Court complied with the motion so
far as to postpone the trial, but reserved the question of costs
till the final decision of the case.

THE LATE UNFORTUNATE KEARNEY.--About
an hour after the termination of the inquest upon the unfortu-
nate Kearney on Saturday afternoon his relatives removed the
body from the Compter in a hearse. Since the inquiry as to
the cause of death the officers of the prison have used every
exertion to discover the means by which the unhappy deluded
man became possessed of the poison that terminated his mortal
career, but hitherto without success. It is generally and very
fairly conjectured that at the time of his attack upon Mr. Loch
he could not have had it about his person ; consequently a
third party must have supplied him with it, either at the
time of his examination before the Lord Mayor, or subsequently
in the Compter. The son for whom ho solicited a provision
from the East India Company is 14 years of age, and a ycuth
of exceedingly
good promise. Since the unhappy fate of the
parent, the Honourable Company have expressed through Mr.
Lawford, their solicitor, an intention of providing for the poor
boy. Mr. Loch, the object of Kearney's attack, is recovering
from the injuries inflicted upon hint, although it will be some
time before ho is enabled to resume his dutio at the India-house.
