VATICINATOR, of Sunday Times.

Let me avow my belief that Caterer will carry off the
" blue riband of Newmarket," on Tuesday, and, if beaten,
it will be by either the Marquis or Wingrave. Since writing
the above The Marquis has been supplanted in the betting
by Alvediston, but my opinion remains unaltered.

FLY-13Y-NIGHT, of Weekly Times.

As your readers will have all eady discerned in what
quarter my fancy lays, I will, without further preface, ex-
press my confidence in

CATERER,
with the firm belief that Wingrave will finish one of the
first three.

AUGUR, of Sporting _Life.

confide with every feeling of reliance in the chances of
The Marquis and Caterer, and in standing upon one of the
pair, shall let John Scott and

THE MARQUIS
represent my interest. For a useful place "investment"
let me once more suggest that the outsider, Buckenhare,
may not be found unworthy of the consideration of my
readers.

"Argue," of the Morning Post, has not yet passed his
opinion on the Two Thousand ; but thoue is no doubt he
will give William Day's horse Alvideston.
On Monday I will give my selection.

A FRESH MAN.

CITY BETTING.-THIS DAY.

Speculation in the City to-day appears almost at a
standstill. Old Calabar does not seem to improve his
position in the betting, as 10 to 1 can be easily obtained
against him. Nottingham, about whom 10 to 1 was
taken yesterday, has retrograded a point or two, and 12 to

1 can be now had.—The only noticeable feature in the
Chester Cup is the advance of Lim( flower from 50 to 33 to
1, taken.—The following quotations may be relied upon as
correct :

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FaubAY.

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 ihe Chester Cup. No
thing was done on the Derby. Closing prices :

THE COVENTRY RIBBON TRADE.—We(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, are 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 streets of
the city in which the weavers principally reside will afford
most satisfactory information with regard to the improved
state of trade. In almost every house 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 do. 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 between," which
unhappily has for so long a time been the case. With re-
gard to the Godiva procession, the subscription in rid of the
pageant has been augmented by contributions of £lO from
Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P,, and a similar sum from the Earl
Craven.

POLAND.— FLOGGING TO DEATH.—The Breslau
Gazette reports that a Jew of Sledlee, 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.—lewisli Chronicle.
