DEATH OF MR. MANNING.—The party who took the
bet of 6,000/. to 1,000/. of Mr. Manning against Gre-
cian have agreed to draw their 1,000/. The 6,000/. will
necessarily be given to the legal representative of Mr.
Manning, who, we believe, is Mrs. Manning, left sole
executrix. We understand that notice will be given
next week of the day on which the money will be re-
turned to persons holding tickets.
MR. MANNING'S LIST BETEL—Captain Rolls has
given the following opinion on this subject:—
" When a person dies all his bets become null and
void. Money staked on horses which have not accepted
is money won, and of course will not be returned.

. . .
" 2dly. In double events where one event is actually
decided by the non-acceptance of a horse named, the bet
is equally won, and the btake money is not to be re-
turned.

"It will be imperative on the late Mr. Manning's ex-
ecutors to return all money staked on events which had
not transpired More his death."

ESCAPE OF WILD BEASTS.—The neighbourhood
of St. George's-hall, Liverpool, was alarmed at an early
hour yesterday morning. It seems that two bears, forming
part of Hilton's menagerie, contrived to break from confine-
ment about eight o'clock, and forthwith exhibited their
awkward erratic propensities, to the dismay of a vast num-
ber of persons who were proceeding to business. The car-
men who ply in the vicinity of St. John's-market imme-
diately congregated in great strength, and, headed by the
bears' keepers, gave chase; the animals, however, were not
to be taken without trouble. One "dodged about" up and
down the streets in the neighbourhood, and finally set off at
full speed up Mount-pleasant, but was finally captured in the
Prince's-park. The first exploit of the second bear was
to kill and partially devour an unfortunate dog which he
espied within a few yards of the caravans. The pause in his
career occasioned by this act led to his speedy capture. Be-
yond that of the dog no life was lost, nor have :we heard of
any personal injury having been sustained by this untoward
incident.—Liverpool Standard.
