TATTERSALL'S.—YEsTERDAY.

The betting yesterday was so flat, and agreed so
nearly with the prices quoted on Thursday, that a formal
quotation is uncalled tor. The Flying Dutchman and
Nunnykirk were steady at precisely the same odds as
before, i. e. 2 to 1 and 4 to 1; 7 to 1 was laid once against
Tadmor, but not more than 6 to 1 could be got at the
close. Chatterer rose to 11 to 2, taken to a considerable
amount, but finally offered. 20 to 1 was taken to 2001.
about Vatican, 4,000 to 70 about The Old Fox, and 700
to 400 about Lord Eglinton's lot. The only mares
bucked for the Oaks were Clarissa and Woodlark, the
former rather freely at 6 to 1, and the latter for a pony
at 7 to 1.

The Flying Dutchman and Elthiron were expected to
reach Epsom-last night.

thirty-two, lato a police-force.
The evidence went to show that at about the middle
of the night of the Stt inst., the deceased was on duty in
Thomas-strect, when he observed two females of ques-
tionable character talking to two private soldiers of the
15th infantry, he desired them to disperse. The soldiers
made an attack upon the constable, who was knocked to
the ground, and whilst there was beaten with sticks
until covered with blood by the two soldiers, who made
their escape a short distance but were soon taken into
custody. The prisoners were the next day taken before
the magistrates, but were allowed to join their regiment
upon their sergeant representing that they would be
severely punished for their gross conduct by the military
power. The unfortunate constable expired at about
eight o'clock on Thursday night last. Dr. Barnard
made a post mortem examination of the body of the de-
ceased. There was no doubt that death was caused by
erysepalus produced by the wound in the head.
The CORONER having addressed the jury, a verdict of
" Wilful murder" was returned against Andrew Davey
and John 111‘Farley, the two privates alluded to.
