BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY.

A few of the members who did not attend Chester
mustered at the rooms this morning. Speculation,
however, was below par, and the most part confined to
the Chester Handicap, run for to-morrow. For the
Cesarewitch Muscovite, Rattle, Bracken, and Am-
monia were the only horses backed. For the Cam-
bridge, Early Bird. The Derby was untouched.

the distance, Caliph, with Milkboy in close attendance,
held the lead, Defiance lying third. About the same
time, however, White's stirrup-leathers came out of the
bars, and Defiance became unmanageable ; before
reaching the winning-post, White was twice thrown on
to the horse's neck ; but, despite this mishap, De-
fiance passed the post first by two lengths, Milk-
boy, who was second, being about a length in advance
of Caliph, who was third ; Professor Buck was
fourth, Titterstone fifth. After passing the post,
White fell to the ground, but was fortunately uninjured.
Defiance got loose, and knocked down a man before
he was caught. On returning to scale, the rider
of Caliph lodged an objection against the riders of
Milkboy and Defiance for driving him nearly upon the
rails. Whitehouse, the rider or Milkboy, also preferred
a complaint against Defiance on the same ground. In
the absence of the stewards the case was referred to Mr.
John Trevor, who, after hearing evidence, decided that
Defiance was entitled to the stakes. Mr. Morris, the
owner of Caliph, however, entered a protest against the
decision, on the ground that the referee had no authority
to act in the matter.

LOSS OF FOUR BRITISH SHIPS.
On Monday the following communication was received
by Captain Halsted, R.N., secretary of Lloyd's, from their
agent at Batavia, dated Ang. 4, 1854 :
It is with regret that I have to report the loss of no less
than four British vessels, namely—
The ship Fatima, Captain Hardie, from Melbourne,
wrecked in Torres Straits.
The Thomasine, Captain Holmes, from Sydney, lost in
the same Straits.
The barque Elizabeth, Captain Churchill, from Mel-
bourne, also wrecked in Torres Straits, and
The ship Artol7/11615, Captain Banes, from Now Zealand,
lost in Kangeany.
We enclose for your information a note of the parti-
culars of these unfortunate disasters. The several crews
were picked up by Captain Brocksmit, of the Dutch ship
Bato, of Xtiddleburg, to whom the committee of Lloyd's
may be disposed under the circumstance to address a letter
of thanks, seeing that he has been the means, under Pro-
vidence, of saving the lives of about fifty British seamen.
The ship Fatima, Captain Hardie, was on her passage to
Batavia, and her loss occurred on the 20th of Juno, in a
deep bight of the great detached reef (in Torres Straits) in
lat. 11. 47. S., long. 144. 1. E. ; fain Island beacon bear-
ing N. by W., ten miles distant, wind at the time blowing
strong from the S.E., and current setting in at the rate of
three knots to the N.W. The crew were exposed to great
suffering in their boats for nine days, before they were
picked up by Captain Brocksmit.
The Thomasine, Captain Holmes, was hound to Bata-
via ; her loss took place on the 19th of June, on an un-
discovered reef in the Straits, on the north east coast of
Australia, in lat. 16. 19. S., long. 14S. 5. E. It is about
ten or twelve miles in length, as Captain Holmes Judges,
with a deep bay in the centre, lying E.N.E. to W.N.T.
The captain states that he had a new chart of 1853, but
no such danger is placed. One of the crew, a Manilla,
was lost, the rest 91 the ship's comPenT. inoludias Coptoin
