BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY•

Business is rather quiet on future events. Phantom was
in request for the City and Suburban Handicap, but Nye saw
nothing less than 10 to 1 booked ; and the highest offer at
the close against Sawcutter was 20 to 1, but less than 25
was refused. Bto 1 each was taken about Ducat and Van-
couver, but afterwards offered ; and, although Suburban
and Vest colt did not appear quite ao firm, no higher offers
were made than 10 to 1.—closing prices "--

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

There was a good sprinkling of old university men anti
others at Putney yesterday to view the rowing of the two.
crews who are to contend from Putney to Mortlake next
Saturday. Both crews went oui, and their work was wit-
nessed with much interest and gratii`lcation. Of Oxford,
who were afloat before the others, it beizoves us first to
speak. They went out at half-past three, rowing a very
excellent stroke. Their action is still lofty, and the; defect'
in time so apparent when they first appeared at &One? ig
now cured, and they may fairly be said to be rowing welL
together. They draw their oars well through the water,
and, for a very heavy crew, the stroke is sharp and more
lively than at first; but it is suggested that they would be
improved by having a little weight taken off their crew.
The Cambridge crew went up half an hour later than their
rivals. They row exceedingly well and together in every
respect. It is a very promising emi'indeed--so promising
that we think there is not much to choose between them at
present, although the Cambridge are So much lighter than

in the tides, which are very weak, owing to the enormous
quantity of land water out, which, running out, retards
them considerably ; indeed, it is but little bettor than still

ITALIAN AFFAIRS.

Earl RUSSELL laid on the table certain papers relative
to Italian affairs.

The Marquis of NORMANBY said the papers which
the noble earl had just laid on the table would render un-
necessary one of the questions which he had given
the noble lord private notice of his intention of
putting. The papers which had just been laid on the table
were those moved for on the 17th ult. He would therefore
ask whether there would be any objection to lay on the
table copies of the official despatches from Sir J. Hudson at
Turin and Mr. Bonham at Naples relative to the
Neapolitan proclamations which had been the subject of
debate in both Houses of Parliament. The noble marquis
then entered into the subject of proclamations, and was
understood to say that although Colonel Fantoni had been
removed, there was still some doubt about the suppression
of the inhuman proclamation. He had lately received in-
formation that an order of the day of a very cruel nature
had very recently been issued by another officer.

Earl RUSSELL said, of course a minister would not be
responsible for everything that took place in all the remote
places of the world. (Hear.) He would have no objection to
give the noble marquis such despatches as he had relative
to the subject. With respect to the proclamation of Col.
Fantoni, what he stated was that as soon as it was made
ho certainly had been relieved of his command, and
the noble lord had just as much to do with that re-
moval as he (Earl Russell) had. He had been told
that it was never intended to act on the proclamations,
which had been issued more to terrify than anything else.
