BETTING AT MANCRESTER.-SATURDAY.

There is little probability of any amount or business
being done on the Chester Cup until the acceptances ar•
published. Agag, without a g. eat outlay of money, has
assumed the position of favourite, and small amounts are
occasionally invested on some (Viers; but caution seems to
be the order of the day both with layers and backers. For
the '2,000 Guineas, Old Calabar is not so firm, 9 to 2 being
offered, but there are plenty of offers to take sto 1. The
Marquis is in great request both for this event (5 to 1
being taken rather freely) and the Derby, for which he had
friends at 12 to 1, but that price was co!Tered at the close.
So little has been done on the Waterloo Cup, that the last
quotations would give as correct an idea of the business
doing as anything we could furnish. Closing prices :

ESSAYS AND REVIEWS.

(From the Weekly Dispatch.)
The Horning Post is anxious not to bias the course of
justice by any untimely remarks upon the case not yet ad-
judged between the Popo of Salisbury and Dr. Williams ;
but that journal considers it to be its duty just to let the
public know, as a piece of news, that the issue is " one of
unspeakable importance, for it involves the question whe-
ther the Bible is or is not inspired." Now we must have
our piece of news too, and that is, that it involves no suck
thing. The question is, whether all and every part of the
Bible is equally inspired, the essential and the unessential ;
whether the list of names in a genealogy is as inspired as
the " two great commandments ;" whether, when two as-
sertions, narratives or principles, contradicting each other,
are read in different books, both are equally inspired, and
both must be equally held sacred ; whether the Bible,
which, reasonably understood, contains in itself the mop t
consummate wisdom the world possesses, is to be the most
uncertain and harmful book in the world by being read with
a want of candour and allowance which it would be consi-
dered shameful to exhibit in tee consideration of any other
work. This is the true issue, which, not polemically, but,
as plain matter of fact, we think it right to iterate in this
column. Moreover, the Morning Post assures us " that
the question now at issue is not whether Baron Bunsen, or
still more his reviewer, were sight or wrong absolutely ;
but, given certain formularies, given a commonly accepted
interpretation of them, is Dr. Williams's view consistent
with the latitude always allowed in relation to them ?"
Well, this may turn out to be the issue decided. But sup-
pose this issue should be decided against Dr. Williams, and
the other issue whether he is right or wrong absolutely"
is given by the public in his favour, we put it to the Morn-
ing Post whether this will not altogether override the
minor question, and leave the Church and its Courts con-
demned by a somewhat higher authority than that by
which they may condemn Dr. Williams. We believe that
it is high time that they should be fully aware of this, and,
humbly act upon the knowledge.

The sum raised in the Stock Exchange for the
widows and families of the miners at Hartley Colliery

lire ( Army and _Navy Gazette) are glad to state
that the War-office has sanctioned an advance of six
months' extraordinary field allowance to the troops lately

ordered to Canada.

Galignani of yesterday has the following
" Died, on the 21st inst., suddenly, from an attack of apo-
plexy, Mrs. W. Galignani, the beloved wife of one of the
proprietors of this journal. Remarkable alike for her
kindness of heart, her enlarged understanding, and her

'harming amenity of manners, the deceased lady was the

centre of a widely- extended circle of friends, who will
long and deeply lament her loss."

IRON SHIPBUILDING IN AMERICA.—The
Ameri-
cans are resolved not•te be behindhand in the race which
the Western Powers are running in inth shipbuilding, :as
we hear upon pod authority that inquiries are now being
made on the part of the Feder et Government in this coun-
try for plans of the most approved character ; and as the
Lords of the Admiralty have decided upon constructing a
vessel on Captain Coles's method, we believe that it is not

unlikely that this may also be adopted by our friends on the
other side of the Atlantic. We have heard 30 gunboats
mentioned as the number likely to be required by Mr. Lin-
coln.—Army and Navy Gazette.

WRECK IN CARMARTHEN BAY.—FERRYSIDE,
Jan. 25.—The wreck that occurred in Carmarthen Bay
yesterday appears to be the Diana of Citti, from Cardiff to
Cadiz with coals. The crow were all fortunately saved in
their own boat. Pieces of the wreck are now floating about
the sands in all directions. The gale of Friday was one of
the heaviest ever experienced in Carmarthen Bay. The
crew of the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution
speak in the highest terms of her qualities.
DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK IN CARDIGAN BAY.--,
CARDIGAN, Sunday night.—Yesterday evening a most dis-
tressing shipwreck took place in Cardigan Bay. About
noon a brig was seen near the island with signals of distress
flying. As soon as possible the lifeboat of the National
Lifeboat Institution, manned by 12 men, proceeded off to
her assistance. In the meantime, however, seven out of
eight of the crew of the vessel had taken to their own boat,
which immediately capsized, and drowned the whole of
them. It had fortunately happened that the poor manwho
had been left on board had missed the ship's boat when she
left the vessel. He was afterwards safely put on shore by
the Cardigan lifeboat. The brig, which was dismantled
and waterlogged, was the Pioneer, of Caruarvon, laden with
a cargo of wheat from Galitz. The Aberystwith new life-
boats also belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution,
had put off to the wreck, but was unable, in the fury of the
hurricane, to fetch it,

JUMPING FROM AN EXPRESS TRAIN.—On Satur-
day, as the down express train, which reaches Taunton at
1.37, was passing Durston, a man of gentlemanly appear-
ance was observed to throw himself from the window of
one of the carriages on to the side of the line. Mr. Snow,
landlord of the Railway Inn, and some other persons, hur-
ried to the spot, expecting to find nothing but the lifeless
remains of the unfortunate man. They were, consequently, ,
considerably astonished to find that beyond a few scratches
and bruises he was unhurt. lle was brought on to Taunton
by the next train, and, in answer to the station-master,
said he could assign no reason for the rash act of which to
had been guilty, but suppo-ed he must have gone to sleep
and jumped out of the window while dreaming.—Somerset
Gazette.
The Civil Tribunal of Havre has been recently
called on to decide in an action brought by the commune of
Roserville against M. Paul de Bois-Hebert and Mme. Per-
tuzon, to recover a piece of land planted with 500 apple-trees
on the ground that the property was common land, and had
been unduly appropriated about two centuries since by the
feudal lords of the domain of Orcher. During the trial it
was proved that the land in question formed part of an
estate which had been purchased, but not paid for, by the
celebrated financier Law, and that on his failure it was sold

considered indisputable. After hearing counsel on both
sides, the Tribunal decided that the Government decree
constituted a valid title, and accordingly rejected the de•
mand of the commune with costs.
A SARCASTIC THIEF.—On the night of the 14th
of this month, Mr. Wm. Wood, of Stanningley, near Brad-
ford, left Leeds in a third-class carriage, on the Leeds,
Bradford, and Halifax Junction Railway. He had with
him a small box, containing 24 watches, valued altogether
at about £6O. The box was tied up in a red handkerchief.
Mr. Wood got out of the train at the Stanninglv station,
but his brig of watches had either vanished before he arrived
there or was left in the carriage. Some days afterwards a

train by which the owner travelled. A woman having
given information that she saw a man of indifferent charac-
ter, hying at Pudsey, carrying the lost box away from. the
station, his house was visited and searched by the police,
but without finding any trace of the watches, and nothing
was heard of the property until Friday morning last, when
the box and red handkerchief, enclosed in brown paper,
were found in (ne of the waiting-rooms at the Great
Northern Railway Station, Bradford. The parcel had Upon
it the direction, " Mr. Wood, watch dealer, Stanningley,
going to Leeds." On the box being opened the only thing
found inside was a slip of white paper, with writing upon
it, of which the following is a verbatim et liter atim copy :
" i have sent box back and think on and keep better
