IN U SIB JOHN ROM

This bankrupt came up to pass his last examination, and was sup-
ported- by Nr. Buchannan, solicitor.
The examination had been adjlurned, as a matter of form, ian
assignee not having been appointed until the last meeting;
.and al-
though he had seen "the accounts, and was perftetTy -satisfied with
them, the Learned Commissioner was of opinion that, as, a point of
practice, a short adjournment should take place.
The bankrupt ncow paid his euzniaatlen.

The attention of a large_ muster of the subscribers was again
chiefly directed to the rich Handicap to be run for on Epsom Downs
on Friday next. It was obvious from the very commencement of
the betting that Peasant was to be invested with the premiership.
The Commissions were numberless, and a few, fortunately for the
principals, were executed at 8 and 10 to 1 ; the layers, however,
were net slow in taking advantage of the eagerness to got on, and
the odds, consequently diminished to 6to 1, takurs. We have reason
to believe that there was still a good deal of money to get on at the
close. Auricula was backed freely at 10, 11, and 12 to 1, Lyons at
12 and 13 to 1, and Satyr at 18 and 20 to 1 ' • the other transactions
were not indicative of any decided feeling, either for or against the
horses quoted. With the exception of Miss Burns, who appeared to
be rather on the totter, most of the Chester Cup horses were steady,
at something near the last average ; of the outsiders Crim. Con. was
most in request. The Derby betting was flat, still we should men-
tion that Sting and Brocardo were in constant demand, and that
1,100 to 30 was taken in three or four places about Humdrum ; Tib-
. _

thorpe declined to 30 to 1, but left off with backers. We subjoin the
last quotations :

TILE GREAT METROPOLITAN STALES, 1847.—0ne tavern keeper in
he City has already collected 501. towards this race, and we hear
that, besides the parties already mentioned, Mr. Barr, a very exten-
sive drawer of " sweets," has "pronounced" in favour of appro-
priating his per tentage on the coming events to the next bonus.
With so good and so early a beginning, we have not the slightest
doubt that the licensed victuallers of the metropolis will succeed in
estahlishing the richest Spring Handicap of the season.
