BETTING AT MANCtIESTER-.FRIDAY.

For the St. Leger 5 to 1 was taken about The Ranger,
and was offered against Lord Clifden. For these few days
past Queen Bertha has been a little on the decline; nine
50's were offered against her without bringing any of her
admirers to the rescue. The feature of the day was the
support given to Golden Pledge and Borealis, who were
each rather freely supported at their respective quotations.

THE TURF AT BADEN.--The races of Baden-
Baden were favoured on Wednesday with splendid
weather. The King of Holland was present. Count de
Lagrange was the successful competitor of the day, winning

doff's Blanchette; the Foret Noire, with Reins Bertha
against Duke de Caderousse's Volta; the Thetzheim, with
Villafranca against Arenjamin, also his own horse; and
the Rastadt, with Semiramis against M. Vazier's Bright.
The Continental, of 10,000 f., was won by M. Delamarre's
Conquete, Count Henckel's Giles the First being second.
The fields were numerous.

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.—Mr. Nelson Lee
will henceforth assume the sole management of
this theatre, with which ho has been so long honourably
connected, the continued illness of his previous coadjutor,
Mr. Johnson, having rendered it necessary to dissolve a
partnership which has lasted unbroken for 26 years. Mr.
Nelson Lee, thus taking the managerial reins in his own
hands, has renewed the lease for a lengthened period, and
is now making extensive preparations for the winter season.
The company will be strengthened by the acquisition of
several great provincial favourites, amongst them a clever
comedian, now to the metropolitan boards, and some im-
portant novelties will be brought forward to sustain the
business until Christmas, when one of the fertile manager's
pantomimes will be produced on a scale of unusual splen-
dour,—Era.

THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS AT KIRXDALE.—
So far as at present appears there will be a quad-
ruple execution at Kirkdalo on Saturday. From inquiries
made at the gaol yesterday, it appears that Alvarez, the
Spanish sailor (condemned for the murder of James
Harrison, in Liverpool) cannot be brought to realise
the terrible fact that his life has been forfeited, and he
resolutely declares that he will not be hung, O'Brien, on
the other hand, who murdered the keeper of a house of ill-
fame, in Preston-street, Liverpool, is preparing himself
devoutly for the change which awaits him, and both
men are diligently attended by clergymen from the
Mount Vernon Catholic Institute. The other con-
demned men, Benjamin Thomas and John Hughes, are
Protestants, and aro ministered to by the Rev. Mr.
Appleton, the gaol chaplain. Hughes (sentenced for the
murder of his wife) appears truly repentant, and pre-
pared, so far as appearances indicate, to meet his fate.
He still declares, however, that ho had no previous in-
Cention of maltreating the deceased. No reply has
yet been received from the petition numerously signed
on his behalf, and praying that his sentence
may be commuted, which has been forwarded
during the week to the Secretary of State. Thomas, who
en his trial, and for some time after, was very violent, has
moderated in his behaviour, but though he pays some at-
tention to what is said to him by the chaplain, he is by no
means in a very desirable state of mind. Benyon, the gill
condemned for the murder of her child, will not be exe-
cuted, though w hat form the commutatioll will take is not
yet kaowa,
