The betting, taken as a whole, was extremely dull; a
few horses, however, were in good demand, particularly
The Magnet, Sunnyside, Giselle, and Keleshea. Very
'ittle was done on the leading favourites.

afterwards offered
2,000 to 20 agst ilargreaves's Sunnyside—taken
The above quotations, made up to the close of the
betting, show very little alteration. Surplice was in
steady demand at 9 to 1; and some hundreds were in-
vested on Springy Jack at 10 and 11 to 1; not much
done on the other favourites, but a good deal of money
laid out on Besborough and Sponge, at improved prices.
Eagle's Plume, Fern, and Great Western, were also on
the rise; with reference to Sponge, we are enabled to
contradict a rumour that he has changed hands.

LOUIS PHILIPPE IN POVERTY.—The French cor-
respondent of the Patriot states that he has received a
letter from a friend of his, M. Vatout, who is also a
" most familiar and confidential friend of Louis Philippe,
and is now residing with him at Clarement, in which M.
Vatout says—A voluntarily exile, I religiously fulfil my
duty to the most unfortunate of Princes, one who, after
reigning during eighteen years over France, is now left
in real poverty. Thank heaven, I have enough to live
upon, very humbly, indeed; but, with a few old friends,
and the remembrance of some good deeds, I find I am
the least to be pitied among so many unfortunate
exiles."
