NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
LATEST BETTING.—WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
The Derby betting inflicted sore discouragement on
the quondam backers of several horses which had been
• prominent favourites in the market. Some of Scott's
"lot " were all but " drummed out." 1,000 to 10 was
laid against Ortolano, and afterwards offered. 1,000 to
30 offered against Acrobat, and 1,000 to 25 against
Blight. From these movements it was inferred that
Dervish would, after all, be the horse of the stable.
Hesse Cassel, in Butler's stable, had also a downward
tendency. 1,000 to 30 was repeatedly offered, against
him. 1,000 to 20 laid against Lord Clifden s lot, bar
Alembic, about whom 33 and .30 to 1 were taken, odds
which were offered against Marsyas. 1,000 even was
betted between Meteora and First Lord.
Autocrat and King Tom were backed for 1201. in one
bet at 8 to 1 each, and 7 to 2 was taken to upwards of
4001. about them coupled.

SERIOUS CHARGE.—At the Birkenhead Police-court,
the case of a lady of respectability, who was charged
with having cut her child's throat, was brought up on
Saturday. She is a married lady, of prepossessing
appearance, about 24 years of age. The evidence
adduced in, support of this very painful case, was
as follows :—About half-past six on Friday morning,
she was lying in bed with her husband and her in-
fant, about five months old, when she got out of bed
and immediately returned. She then sat up iu her
bed, and, with an open razor, deliberately cut the
little innocent's throat. She then proceeded from
her bed-room to that of the person in whose house
she lodged, rapped at the door, and upon his
coming out she handed him her child, which he
perceived had received a severe cut in the throat. It
was bleeding very much. He thereupon sent for a
surgeon, and upon being asked to describe how she
appeared. when she brought the child to him, he replied
that she appeared to be like a person who had the horrors,
and was completely out of her senses ; then he after-
wards went into her bei-room, and found her husband
there, who had got out of bed, and, upen /peaking to
him, he appeared perfectly bewildered, as if a man
beside himself—not knowing what to do. The sur-
geon proved that two gashes had been inflicted on
the infant's throat with sortie sharp instrument ;
that he had dressed the wounds, and he believed
with proper care that the child would live. And,
in addition, he said, that she had, on a pre-
vious occasion, attempted to take the life of the
child by administering laudanum, which he had ex-
tracted, and saved its life ; and that she had also, on a
previous occasion, inflicted serious injury upon, her
own throat. Upon his being asked what he supposed
to be cause, he stated, that he had been the attendant
upon her family for some years, and that God only knew
what trouble she had gone through. She is of highly
respectable connections, and her husband formerly be-
longed to a very respectable firm in Liverpool, but from his
dissipated habits and other faults, he had brought her
to a very low state, so as to induce her friends to believe
that she Is not now in a sound state of mind. The case
was ultimately remanded until Monday, for the attend-
ance of the surgeon who bad been first called to see the
child. She appeared to feel keenly her situation, and
excited the sympathy of the whole court. Her husband
was present during the investigation, but appeared
somewhat cooler in the matter.—Liverpool Standard.
