Betting.—Even and a to 4 against Comus, and 3 to

agst the- winner. Domino toolithe lead at a good pace,
waited upon by Montezuma, with Drama in close at-
tendance on the latter; they maintained these places to the
distance, when Montezuma went to the front, made the
remainder of the running, and won easy by a length. The
Drama was beaten two or three lengths. Zephyr was no-
where; and Jenny Jones bolted right across the course,
when she got into straight running, and, on nearing home,
made so direct a charge at the winning chair, that the
Judge had nearly vacated his scat to make room for her.
Last year this race furnished an avant courier to the
winner of the Derby in the Shape of Tawney O.vl ; this
year Mr. Thornhill's party fancy that Montezuma's triumph
is only anticipatory of a greater one to-day.

The following is a list of the horses expected to run,
with the names of their jockies:-..

Lord Albemarle's Domino
Mr. Sadler's Dart W.
Mr. Bowes's King of Kelton . C. Edwarsis,
Mr. G. Clark's Dragsman
There is very little probability of Camelino's starting,
and it is even doubtful whether King of Kelton will go.
Thcae is some talk of Rory O'More, but from what we
heard it is not likely that he will run.
The betting ring was small, and business net by any
means brisk, and some changes will be found ; but as
they were in almost every instance caused by the running
for the Craven or Shirley Stakes, it will not be necessary
to enter into details.
At five o'clock when we left the Downs, the odds stood
thus : . . _

3 to 1 agst Sleight of Hand
ti to 1 agst Euclid—take 13 to 2

LESSON TO TRAVELLERS. —The following
statement by Mr. Peter Borrie, of the Tay Foundry,
Dundee, is curious : " The Nord, a French steamer,
whose engines were furnished by me, sailed from our
harbour on the 7th instant, at eight A K., and after en.
countering a very rough and boisterous passage, arrived
in the oiling at Dunkirk early on Tuesday forenoon. I
left Dunkirk for Calais at three r. u. on Wednesday_
spent three hours in Calais. Sailed for London, at which
place I arrived at 10 Au. on Thursday. I left London at
half past seven A. M. on Friday per railway for Birmingham,
where I remained three hours. Started fc.r Liverpool—
remained three hours. Left Liverpool for Edinburgh,
via Glasgow—arrired in Edinburgh at three A. Li. 14th
inremained four hours. Started for Dundee, where I
arrived at twelve noon same day. Thus being altogether
seven days, four hours, absent from Dundee—of which
time I only spent four days, eleven hours, in travelling.
The remaining two days, seventeen hours, I devoted to
other purposes. So that, during the space of 107 hours, 1
travelled over a distance of 1.160 miles, being at the
avrrage rate of nearly eleven miles per hour. I was
accompanied in my journey by a very intimate friend, who
seldom leaves home, and never before was hurled along at
such a rate."—Edinburgh Evening Courant.
The Berwick Advertiser says, " A incrlon of
considerable importance is now before our Borough Council,
namely, a recommendation from the Committee of Works
that the Council apply to the Lords of the Treasury for
power to sell so much of the Corporation land as will raise
a fund to pay i.ff all the b,inded debt, and also raise
nu
additional sum of 1,500/ to be expended in improving the
waterworks of the town, and reconstructing the sbatrilJles.
