MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.
There has been nothing done since Tuesday evening
to require comment. No doubt the return of several in-
fluential partics from the south will nest week give a fresh
impetus to business. The offers of 12 to 1 on the Derby
field have no takers ; tear do we think it likely any parties
will be drawn in at that price. It is the most open Derby
field the writer ever remembers.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
(CONCLUDED.)
(7URTHER PARTICULARS OF FRIDAY'S RACES.)
Handicap—Fitzroy was permitted to lead for the first
mile, when Miss Heathcote went in front, defeated an at-
tempt make by Caution near the chair, and won a pretty
race by half a length. Flambeau was well up, and Fitz-
roy fourth.
First Match—Silistria made strong play, Nicholas being
kept in reserve till the last moment, when he went up with
a rush, but was beaten on the post by a head.
Second Match—Langolee made all the play, and won
very cleverly by half a length.
Nursery—Beyrout, Jessica, and Simoom, the former
with the lead, in close order to the T.Y.C. post, where
Benedetta gave up, Beyrout, the Reveller filly, E. 0., and
Annot Lyle filly following her example at the cords ;
Jessica and Simoom continued in front, and ran head and
head with Y. Quo Minus for fifty gyards, when the latter
gave place to Traffic, who, coming up with a tremendous
rush, made a dead heat with Jessica, and allowed Simoom
to win by a head only. Quo Minus was a good fourth.
Audley End.—l-am-not-aware made play, followed by
Janus and Bosphorus to the Duke's Stand, where Janus
made an unsuccessful effort to get in front ; Rosciva
waited on them to the cords, where he went up, and won
in a canter by three lengths ; only a neck separated the
second and third, and half a length the third and last.

Offers to take 25 to 1 about Caraulcon.

The weather was fine, and the company quite as large
as the quantity and importance of the sport warranted us
in expecting. Many left immediately after the Audlcy
End Stakes, but an announcement that some matches
would be "knocked up" for Saturday, induced the majo-
rity to remain—it will be Peen below that they were grati-
fied with a moderate quantum of racing.
The Ball on Thursday night, for the benefit of the Pro-
vident Club, went off remarkably well, and was attended
by nearly all the nobility and gentry visiting the Houghton
meeting as well as most of the country families and resident
gentry ; there were upwards of 130 persons present, and
the dancing continued with great spirit. The company
did not separate until near four o'clock this morning. The
Duke of Rutland and the Duchess of Beaufort opened the
ball in a contre dance. The Cambridge band attended,
and the whole went off with much eclat.

EVENING EDITION.,

TRIAL OF HENTY.

The Court-martial at Sheerness was brought to a
termination on Saturday. Evidence to character of a
very superior kind was given in favour of Henty, whose
defence in writing was then submitted to the Court, and
read by the Judge-Advocate. The verdict was to the
following effect :
" The Court is of opinion that the first chargTe--
namely, that of a breach of duty, is not proved. hat
the second charge, that of disobedience of orders, is not
proved ; and that the third charge—namely,
that of
having on the said 2d day of October made a false re-
port to his superior officer, Captain Sir J. Hill, of the
extent of a fire v.hich in the afternoon of that day bad
taken place on board the said ship Cifniperdown, and of
the circumstances, is fully proved against the prisoner.
But from the circumstances of his extraordinary good
character for skill, zeal, carefulness, humanity, and
eneral good character as a carpenter of her Majestys
navy, the Court doth adjudge the said John Henty
the
be only severely reprimanded and admonished ; and
said John Henty is hereby severely reprimanded and
admonished accordingly."
The verdict seemed to cause considerable satisfaction
amongst the spectators ; and the prisoner,
on leaving the
state room, was warmly congratulated by all his brother
officers and many respectable inhabitants of the town.
