BETTING AT MANCHESTER-THURSDAY.

For the Chester Cup Wild Rose who, a short time ago,
was reported under the doctor's hands, and went to any
price (offered), came with a rush, 100 to 5 being booked.
Chere Amie, hitherto an outsider, was supported at 25 to 1.
100 to 3 was offered against Sappho prior to the return of
the One Thousand; after which there were many offers to
back her, but there was no disposition to lay. There was
not much business done on the future, the day's events
occupying the attention of the members present. Closing

THE WINNER OF THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS
STAKES OF 1862.—Mr. John Scott has r ealised a felicitous
union of circumstance in being the trainer of both The
Marquis and Hurricane ; and as we noticed the victories
of the former horse, we append a few particulars anent the
performances of Hurricane. The winner of the One Thou-
sand Guineas Stakes is the property of Mr. T. Valentine,
and is a bay filly by Wild Dayrell, out of Midia. Her first
public performance wag af a moot unpromising character,
as, in the Chesterfield Stakes, run for at Newmarket July
Meeting, she did not even get placed. Her second ap-
pearance was at the York August Meeting, where she car-
ried off a produce stakes from Piccador and Lord Albert.
The third time of her presenting herself was in connection
with the First October, when, in the Fourteenth
triennial Produce Stakes, she ran third to Old Cala-
bar, Lorelei being second, and five other horses taking
part in the race. Hurricane's final appearance as a two-
year-old was at the past Newmarket Houghton Meet-
ing, when she beat Emily de Lona in a sweepstakes of 60
sous. by a length. There remains only two other events
to record in connection with her for this year, the first of
which is when she succumbed to Buckenham in the Aske
Produce Stakes, at the late Newmarket Craven Meeting;
and the second her victory of yesterday, by which she
places £2,800 as stakes at the disposal of her owner. Her
nominations for this year include the Derby, the Oaks,
Great Northern St. Leger (Stockton), St. Leger and Park
Hill Stakes (Doneaster), the Prince of Wales's Stakes
(Ascot), and two other minor events, As we have men-
tioned the probable value of the One Thousand Guineas
Stakes, it may not be out of place to state here, that Mr,
Hawke received as the value of the stakes, £4,150 by The
Marquis's performance last Tuesday.

A DESCENT UPON LIVERPOOL BETTING MEN.
—Yesterday a number of betting men were apprehended
in Liverpool under the 3d section of the act, charged with
keeping betting lists, &c., and resorting to certain houses
for the purpose of gambling. The apprehensions were by
warrant, and the prisoners were brought before Mr.
Raffles, the Liverpool stipendiary magistrate. For the
prosecution it was stated that the keeping of these betting
lists offered a great temptation to young men from offices,
shopkeepers' assistants, &c., and led to a good deal of dissi-
pation and fraud. The prisoners were each fined in the
full penalty of £lOO. Mr. Cobb, the solicitor for the de-
fence, pleaded that his clients had done neither less nor
more harm than the Earl of Derby and other sporting
noblemen, in whose houses similar lists and documents
might be procured if the police were sent to enter them.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE, OXFORD.—ELECTION OF A
PROVOST.—In consequence of the resignation of the Pro-
vostship of this college by the Right Rev. Dr. William
Thomson, now Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, the Fel.
lows assembled yesterday morning for the purpose of electing
a successor. Their choice fell upon the Venerable William
Jackson, D.D., Archdeacon of Carlisle, who was educated
at Queen's College, and graduated in 1811, when he took a
second class in classics. He was afterwards fellow, tutor,
and bursar of Queen's. In 1827 he was appointed by the
Bishop of London to be one of her Majesty's preachers at
Whitehall. In 1828 be was appointed by the Earl of Lons-
dale, to whom he is domestic chaplain, to the rectory of
Lowther, near Veurith, and holds that benefice at the pre-
opt time.
