BETTING AT MANCIIESTER.-SATURDAY.

Speculation is remarkably quiet. Even the publication
of tho weights for the Chester Cup has not, so far, found
any employment for the metallics. The general opinion is
in favour of the handicap ; but offers on the field take so
wido a range it would be folly to quote them. There is oc-
casionally a transaction booked on the Derby and Two
Thousand, and any advance upon the odds on the favourites
would find customers, An offer was made to take 9to 2
against Old Calabar, and six and a half fifties were booked
about The Marquis for the latter event. The 'Waterloo Cup
exhibits little change. The books have nearly all been had
upon the favourites, and very few outsiders are touched
upon. Closing prices :

IMPORTANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES. LYTHAM,
Jan. 18.—Yesterday morning, during a gale of wind anal
thick tog, the schooner Chance, of Preston, struck on the
Horsebank. In consequence of the wind and sea increas-
ing her crew, consisting of only two men, failed entirely to
get her off. To save their lives they took to their own
boat, which fortunately safely brought them to Lytham.
As soon as the alarm was given, the lifeboat of the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution was launched, and taking the
shipwrecked men with them, her crew soon reached the
wreck. After considerable labour and difficulty the lifeboat
crew succeeded in getting off the vessel; and as the tide
rose, she was luckily brought safely into port by tbe next
tide. The Lytham lifeboat has, during the last few yeais,
Bkipwrecked crews
been the means of saving the following
—Brought the schooner E. D., of Salcombe, and her crew
of five men, into port; saved six men from thorne the b brigantine
en nßobert and Henry, of Dundalk ;
bri-
gantine Hannah Jane, of London
saved the fiat Turner, of
; nine men from the
gantine Nancy, of Teignmouth ;
Preston, and her crew of four hands.
DUNDALK, Tan. 17.—Last night the schooner
Rook, of Liverpool, struck, during a heavy south-easterly
gale, on Dundalk bar. The lifeboat of the National Life-
boat Institution immediately launched and proceeded to her
assistance. She found the schooner thumping heavily on
tke sands. As soon as a communication had been formed
between the lifeboat and the schooner, two of the lifeboat
crew jumped on board. Renewed exertions was thereupon
made to save the vessel, which fortunately were successful,
and she was got off the banks, and piloted safely into port.
The surf rolled very heavily on the beaks, and in the ab-
sence of the valuable services of the National Institution's
lifeboat, the probability is that, by next morning, a fearful
scene would have been witnessed on these dangerous sands,
by the destruction of the vessel, and the drowning of her
unhappy crew.

DESPATCH OP MAILS.—The British and North
American Royal Mail steamer Africa was despatched from
Liverpool for New York o a Saturday. She took out the
mails for British North America, United States, Bahamas,
and Havana. The next mail despatch to America from
Liverpool will be on Wednesday by the Liverpool, New
York, and Philadelphia Company's steamer City of Balti-
