TATTERS ALL'S-YESTERDAY.

The room . was very well attended for the season,
and some spirit was thrown into the betting on the events
to come off at Liverpool and Goodwood. For the Trade
Cup at the former place the six principal favourites were
backed in several quarters, and each was at one part of
the day at less odds than we have given below as the final
ones. A large field will start, and as nearly all the Lon-
don speculators will be present, it is likely to be a brisk
betting race. Master Tommy and Eat had strong par-
ties for the Goodwood Stakes, and were backed repeat-
edly at 10 and 11 to 1 each, the higher quotation being
the last ; in other respects the betting on this event was
flat. Charles NIL was not quite so good a fa-
vourite for the Goodwood Cup, as at Newmarket last
week, 7, and in three or four instances 8 to 1 having been
laid against him. Nautilus was also less in demand, and
a strong feeling was shown to lay against Scott's two,
Colwick, and Maroon. Pocahontas had several friends,
and nearly 1501. was laid out on Vapour, at the price
mentioned below ; 10 to 1 in fifties was betted against
Vendredi, upon which an advance of two points was
afterwards volunteered. The general prices at the finish
were as follow :

WOMEN D.O ALL THE WORK IN FRANCE.—
In this part of France the women do all the work. Even on
their way to market we see them carrying on their heads
the heaviest burdens, and it is said they can carry as much
as 1501bs. ; while the men go swaggering along with
ndthing but a stick. It would be an easier task to enu-
merate the kinds of labour in which women are not em-
ployed than those in which they are. In the country
they are to be seen every day at this season of the year,
ploughing and harrowing, and spreading and carting
manure ; at other seasons, mowing, reaping, and carrying
the hay home on their heads ; while, in the market, we
find them selling their corn, and every other produce
of their farms. In the towns, besides being em-
ployed in sweeping the streets, and cleaning the
lamps, they act as labourers to the paviors, bricklayers,
and stone-masons, and carry on the work of gla-
ziers, and almost every other duty, both in doors and
out, except] that of serving as soldiers. It may readily
be supposed that the women suffer much in their appear-
ance from such habits of hard labour and constant ex-
posure to the weather. The consequence is, they look
old before middle life, and, in real old age, the loss of
their teeth, their naturally hard features and complexions,
dry, leathern, and all over wrinkles, combine to render
them hideous in the extreme. Still they seem to enjoy
life, especially as they go home from market, munching
their dry bread or roasted chestnuts along the road, and
chattering, in noisy groups, about the business of the
clay. Yet I must confess, when I have seen one of these
old women riding like a man, at a hard launching trot,
I have longed to place her in a comfortable arm-chair by
the fire-side of an English cottage, to put a neat cap
upon her head, and a Bible in her hand, and so leave
her to pass the remainder of her days in peace.—Mrs.
Ellis's Summer and Winter in the Pyrenees.
A picture, by David, representing the coronation
of the Emperor Napoleon, one of two ordered, (this at
the price of 75,000 francs), by the Emperor himself, the
first for the Louvre (which is now at Versailles), and the
second for the Milan Museum, was, last week, brought
to the hammer in Paris, and knocked down at 2,300
francs. The picture in question, not having been paid
for, remained in the artist's possession at his death, and
bears an inscription and signature in his own hand-
writing. We may mention, too, that the picture by our
countrymen, Mr. 'l'. J. Robins, representing the Veloce
in her situation of peril last year, at Dunkirk, with the
King of the French on board, and which the artist ex-
hibited at the Louvre, has been purchased by Louis
Philippe, for the Historical Museum at Versailles.—
