TATTERSAL L'S YESTERDAY.
Paying and receiving on the Chester events occupied
nearly the whole afternoon, and the business appeared
to make satisfactrTy progress.
Speculation on the Derby was very limited, and the
only incidents of importance were the return of Fly-by-
Night into favour and the advancement of Coroner ; at
the commencement of the betting the former was backed
at 12 to 1, at which price he had been well supported in
the city ; towards the close, however, 100 to 7 was laid
against him. The Coroner opened at 20 to 1 taken, but
the closing quotation was 22 to 1 offered, 25 to 1 taken
—the latter odds, however, were not betted "kindly."
1,000 to 10 was taken freely about Sir Tatton.
Tne other transactions do not require comment.

NATTONAL GALLERY.---A picture in tempera, by an
early Florentine master, Sandro Botticelli, has been
placed in the Notional Gallery. It is circular in form,
and represents the Virgin with the child in her arms, and
two youthful adoring figures at the sides ; one appa-
rently St. John the Baptist, the other an angel. The
figures are half length and under life size. This
is one of the pictures purchased last year in Italy for
the national collection, and is described in the direc-
tors' report as having at the back the inscription,
" M. Giuliano da San Ghallo" (in more modern ortho-
graphy San Gallo)---an evidence that it was once in the
possession of the Florentine architect of that name.
