BETTING AT MANCHESTER.. FnmAY.

For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, Alvediston was
freely supported at 4 to 1, without making any alteration
in the position of The Marquis, who remained quite as firm
as he was yesterday, and had friends at 9to 2. There was
a little speculation on the One Thousand Guineas, for
which event Bertha, Imperatrice, and Hurricane were
backed against the field at evens, but subsequently the field
had the call, 60 to 50 being laid against them. With the
exception of Simla receding a little, 20 to 1 being laid
against her, there was no change on the Cheater Cup. No
thing was done on the Derby. Closing prices

THE COVENTRY RIBBON TRADE. —W e (Birming-
, ham Daily Post) are glad to notice that the staple trade of
Coventry has recently undergone a very sensible improve-
ment, and even those who have all along entertained the
most gloomy forebodings, aro beginning to admit that they
do not altogether despair of that city being in a highly
prosperous condition once more. It is true that most of the
large factories are not doing very much, and several of them
are still entirely closed, yet a walk through the sheets of
p
the city in which the weavers principally reside will afford
most satisfactory information with regard to the improved
state of trade. In almost every houso where there is a
workshop attached the noise of the shuttle will be heard,
most conclusively testifying to the fact that the weavers
have no longer cause to complain that they have got no work
to cb. It is gratifying to learn that this work is chiefly
being done in execution of orders, and not for the accumu-
lation of stock, a practice which has heretofore been so de-
trimental to the interests of the trade. In short, it is ad-
mitted on all hands that trade is undergoing a real and
substantial revival, and the visits of buyers have of late
been numerous, instead of "few and fat betwcon," which
unhappily has for so long a time been the case. With re-
gard to the Godiva procession, the subscription in aid of the
pageant has been augmented by contributions of £lO from
Sir Joseph Paxton, ALP', and a similar sum from the Earl
Craven.

POLAND.^FLOGGING TO DEATH —The Breslau
Gazette reports that a Jew of Siedlce, Poland, having in-
sulted a soldier, was dragged to the guardhouse, and there
by order of the commanding officer, so dreadfully flogged
that he expired under the blows.—Jewisi Chronicle.
