TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

Although several events were brought under notice,
speculation moved but slowly.
For the Ascot Stakes 6 to 4 was booked to a good
deal of money about the favourite, the layers being the
first to slacken. 100 to 15 was taken three or four

times about Nervous ; 10, 9, and 8 to 1 about King
Pepin, and similar odds to various small sums about
Little Davie. 1001. were laid out in favour of Russ-
borough, at 12 to 1.

Investments at 2 to 1 about Pelion for the Gold Vase
had the effect of sending him out of the market for the
Emperor's Plate ; 5 to 2 and 2 to 1 were taken about
Rataplan, but the outlay was only very moderate.

. -
EMPEROR'S PLATE.-:-"At the Commencement 2 to 1
was taken repeatedly in hundreds about each of the
leading favourites ; towards the close, however, 5 to 2
was laid against each. Finally, Stockwell had decidedly
the call of Teddington, 2 to 1 being taken about him,
and sto 2 laid against the latter. Kingston, reported
en route, advanced from 10 to 8 to 1 taken ; 10 and 9
to 1 taken about Defiance ; and 12 to 1 to "a little"
about Weathergage.
The Derby betting was especially remarkable for the
number of horses backed at so early a period at 25 and
20 to 1 ; the circumstance is, to the best of our remem-
brance, quite unparalleled.
At the conclusion of business the quotations were as

THE ATTEMPT AT MURDER NEAR COWLEY- TXRIDGE.—
The unfortunate Jew pedlar, who was so cruelly treated
near Cowley-bridge, is gradually recovering, ender the
care of the surgeons of the Devon and Exeter Hospital.
His recollection, however, as to recent events is not yet
sufficiently improved to enable him to give any account
of the circumstances under which he was fount 1. Three
parties have given different statements to the pailice, and
each is positive as to his own correctness, so t hat until
the man himself sufficiently recovers to give 'his own
testimony of the affair, the police are unable to •'take any
further steps.—Exeter Gazette.
A petition has been transmitted from the principal
inhabitants of Bombay to the Manchester 01 ,amber of
Commerce, for presentation to the House of ,Commons,
against the inefficient manner in which • the postal
service to that presidency is conducted by t he Indian
navy.
