BETTING IN MANCHESTER..--FRIDAY EVENING.
In four days more the fiat will be given to another St. Leger
race, and thousands be lost and won. The appearance of the
two cracks is different to what it was; Charles the Twelfth
takes a decided lead. On Tuesday we noticed as low as 65 to
40 accepted, and willingly would a fraction more have been
pencilled down. Bloomsbury was laid against at 3to I with
groat non chalance, by the party who have never done support-
ing the pet of Scott's let. Two hundred at evens were
offered to be laid on Charles against any two. Euclid, at the
same hour, was in considerable force ; 12 to 1 was taken to about
a score, but so eager was the gentleman supporting this son
of Emilius, that he reduced the price two points; however,
during Wednesday and yesterday, we think there would
not have been any difficulty in getting 11 to 1 to a sum.
The Provost, at the opening of the week, appeared nearly
friendless, 100 to 5 was laid, and offered to be repeated. The
most striking feature in the doings is in Commodore being
placed absolutely hors de combat. Since Saturday 3000 to
15, and after 1000 to 10 was laid, thus extinguishing all hope
for his backers. Batman Platoff was backed in an inluential
quarter, at the opening of the week, at 25 to 1, in ponies, but
on Tuesday morning nine points more were laid, and we then
thought he was going " spark out ;" however, since one gentle-
man has booked 900 to 30 : an offer was afterwards made to lay
200 to 8. On Tuesday morning we observed a disposition to
back the Dey of Algiers ; a little was got on at 40 to 1, and
" a bid " made to take 11 score to 1 that either he, Bolus, or
Corsair win; or three points less, throwing Easingwold in.
Several attempts have been made to force the confirmed out-
siders in vain. The prices at a late hour are thus :

THE CiIAMTAGNE STAKES.
3 to 1 asst Mr. Blacklock's filly (taken freely at 70 to 20).
0 to 1 offered freely on the field.

THE ST. LEGER.
7 to 4 agst Charles the Twelfth
3 to 1 agst Bloomsbury—taken
11 to 1 agst Euclid—taken
25 to 1 agst Hetman Platoff—taken
30 to 1 agst Bolus—taken
33 to 1 agst Hyllus
40 to I agst Fitzambo
6to 4 freely offered on two against the field. The opinion is
Charles must win. We think Bloomsbury will be his master,
if all is rig,ht. sto 2 was laid on Tuesday that Templeman
did not ride. Sam Rogers will ride, we think, in the lucky
jacket of " Blue, and white sleeves."

THE HIPPODROME—(SATURDAY.)
The followinc, races took place on Saturday afternoon, be-
tween horses the property of Officers of the 14th Light Dra-
goons, stationed at Hounslow and Kensington, over the Hippo-
drome, at :
