LATEST BE I'TING AT MANCHESTER.
The 2,000 Guineas Stakes were so far touched upon, that
8 to 1 was accepted to a ten pound note on the Duke of Graf-
ton's horse ; the layer would have adventured more on the same
terms ; 10 to 1 was asked about Crucifix in a good quarter,
but no one ventured a " bid ;" 5 to one was offered on the
field, barring Lord Orford's colt—against him 5 to 2 was
_pro-
posod, but not accepted. Some little chat respecting Grey
&c., but nothir, was done to our knowlege ;
we should
say 5 to 4 would be laid agalnst any two.
TIIE CHESTER Cur.-7 to I was the highest offer against
Cowboy, a point more would willingly have been taken on Liver-
pool account ; 10 to 1 was offered on the field " bar two,"
viz., Lanercost and the Premier ; the former of these two
may be set dawn at 81/2 to one, and Gilbert at 11, Cruiskecn
was not named, but since our last she has been freely backed
at 100 to 7 ; 100 to 6 goes a begging against either King Cole
or any one of I‘lr. Dawson's lot, whilst, as a body, the latter
would be backed at 6 to 1 ; 20 to 1 still remains the price of
St. Bennett, five points more would be taken. Percy has de-
cidedly improved his previous estimate ; 100 to 3 can no longer
be got, 300 to 12 was offered at noon. He would be backed
against George, who has found pretty strong notice at 200 to 7.
Aimwell's price is 100 to 3 accepted ; and the same offered, at
the breaking up of business, versus Bellona. '1 he feather-
weight was not touched upon ; his price we consider close upon 12
to 1. There is no elevation in Pops, Melbourne, the Dean,
Imogene, or Fair Louisa ; their prices must, therefore, be con-
sidered nominal. The colt out of Heron's dam was laid against
at 100 to 1, but it could not be had again.
THE DE ItllY.—Launcelot was backed at 18 to 1, and Mak-
hara, after a good deal of inquiry, obtained 20 to 1, to a little
money ; 1,000 to 5 was offered against Lord Kelburne's Re'
fresher ; t2OO to 1, then 400 to 2, and 300 to 2 was laid against
Sir 11. Bulkelev's colt by Physician ; 27 to 1 was betted against
Ottoman, and lot) to 2 offered freely against his winning the
2,000 Guineas Stakes and the Derby ; 28 to I was the highest
offer v. Black Bess. .

Tine OAKS.—The only engagements we are in possession of
are 4 to 1 (in fifties) against Crucifix, and double that figure to
a small sum against Black Bess.

The Animals' Friend Society last week
caused Edwin Mitchell to be fined 16s. 6(1. at Brighton,
by H. Padder, Esq., for cruelty to a horse ; and Daniel Knight,
5.. and costs, at London, by Alderman Harmer, also for cruelty
to a horse. Several other cases were brought forward by the
agents. The Society complains, with very good reason, that
on having brought an offender before Alderman White, charged,:
with revolting cruelty to an ox, in having conveyed it bound
on a truck with all its legs tied together to one point, and the
head bent back with ropes, in which constrained position it had
been jolted over the stones for fourteen miles, the poor an' °•
groaning piteously ; Alderman White could see no cruelty In
it, and fined the prosecutor in costs, for bringing it forward,
while the charge on the delinquent was dismissed.
