Betting—The confusion which was occasioned by the
very blameable manner in which the numbers of the
starters were put up, caused several vexatious fluctuations
in the betting, and much money was thereby lost. At
the close it was 3 to 1 agst Humphrey, 7 to 2 each agst
Deerhound and Sweetness, 6to 1 agst Bell Tinker. A
very pretty race with the three placed and Deerhound
from the distance, was won by a neck. A neck only

PLYMOUTH, MAY 6.
Her Majesty's frigate Leander, 50, Captain G. St. Vin-
cent King, having been fitted for the reception of Lord
Ellesmere and suite, was towed yesterday by the Avoqand
Confiemee steamers into the Sound, where she took her
powder and shells on board.
The brig Cygnet, Commander R. D. White, which
arrived, on Wednesday from Portsmouth, came into har-
bour yesterday, and was warped to the jetty, where her
crew unbent sails and commenced returning stores. She
will b a paid off on Wednesday.
The' Diligence transport was removed from dock on
Thur aday, and towed to the Jupiter depot to receive coal
prior to sailing for the Arctic regions.
In. consequence of a dispute between the owners and
crews of the trawling sloops belonging to this port, the
vessels have not been to sea during the week.

PEMBROKE.
The Victoria, of 110 guns, now building in this yard, is
very far advanced towards completion, and she could easily
be made ready, if so desired, for launching this season.
Rumour, however, states that before being sent off the
stocks she will bo cut asunder at the midship section, and
lengthened to the extent of 30 feet. This increase of length
she can well bear, as it is at present evident to all who in-
spect her that her size is greater in proportion than her
length. She is a noble vessel, though not nearly of such
fine proportions as the James Watt, just launched, and,
when lengthened, would carry nearly the same armament
as the Duke of Wellington, 131 guns, launched here last
season. She will be fitted with the screw propeller, thus
adding another first-rate to the squadron of screw-propelled
line-of-battle ships.

WOOLWICH, MAY 6.
