SPOICYING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-YESTERDAY.

From the number of subscribers that were present to-
day, the different events that were introduced, and the
many horses that were inquired after, to all appearance a
good stroke of business was likely to be done. Such, how-
ever, was not the case. Anatis, Jealousy, and Bridegroom
had staunch friends for the Liverpool Steeplechase at their
quotations. For the Derby, 1,000 to 15 was taken a
time or two about Blue Ruin, and Sir William was in de-
mand at 40 to 1. For the Chester Cup, Timandra would
have been backed to money at 50 to 1; Longnmge and Bir-
mingham are almost friendless. In other respects the fol-
lowing quotations will suffice :

THE POLL 'E AND THE PUGILISTS.

On Tuesday last Superintendent Everist, the
active and intelligent superintendent of the K.C.C.
for the Chatham district, received information that
a prize fight between Travers, the Black, and
another man named- Mace was to come off that day
within his district, and he at once took measures to
prevent it. The men, he understood,.were to ar-
rive at Southend, in Essex, by the railway, and at
that place the City of Rochester steamer, belong-
ing to Messrs. Boucher and Giles, was to meet them
and convey them to the field of combat, which was
appointed to take place in Kent. The vigilant
superintendent, with an inspector, one sergeant,
and five constables, proceeded in a fast sailing boat,
engaged by the superintendent, against wind and
tide, until they got round Upton, where the wind
was favourable for them, and they sailed on to the
White Horse at the Isle of Grain, off which place
there were no fewer than forty vessels—eight or
ten of them of them of a large class—evidently
laden with spectators of all classes to view the ap-
proaching combat. With the coolness of an expe-
rienced tactician, superintendent Everist lay on and
off with his clipper till he saw the City of Rochester
approaching from Southend across the river Med-
way towards the Kentish shore. She then
steamed up the river towards Sandgate Creek,
having on board the pugilists and about 50
others of equal respectability, although some of
them were of a higher rank than the others. The
police superintendent kept his boat hovering about
the landing-place, thinking it advisable to allow suffi-
cient time to elapse as would prevent the combatants
removing to any other spot in the county to carry on
their pastime. When he saw the ring had been formed,
he landed under a wall near the spot, and was not
observed till he was close to the ring. The stakes
and ropes were immediately pulled up, and the
ruffians kept running away in every direction,
making for the steamers and boats. The tide at
that time was ebbing fast, the superintendent re-
turned to his boat and made chase, the others
having considerably the start of him. All sail
was, however, crowded, and he beat every boat
except the steamers. On coning to Folly Point
they saw the men had landed from the city of
Rochester, and at about half a mile distance the
stakes were pitched, the ring formed, and the
ruffians beginning to fight—on which the superin-
tendent and his men landed and proceeded to the
ring, into whick Everist jumped over the ropes,
when the pugilists and their seconds sprang out
of the ring and made their escape, whilst the spec-
tators ran towards their boats, in attempting to
reach which one of them was nearly drowned.
They again started for a more favourable spot,
but Everist, with his clipper, was in such hot
pursuit that they were compel ed to proceed to
Strood,where they landed, and proceeded to London
by the South Eastern Railwal. They were so
much astonished at the rapidity ind success of his
movements, that several ringleaders assured him,
"upon their honour," that they would not come
into his district any more.—/Codsh Gazette.

2HE NAVY.

The Euryalus, 51, screw, Capt. John W. Tarle-
ton, C. 8., at Spithead, yesterday morning ex-
changed the customary salutes with the Victory,
flagship of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral W.
Bowles, C.B. The Sprightly, paddle-steamer, had
left the harbour for Spithead at daylight to be in
attendance on the ship in the event of her services
being required by Prince Alfred, and the Elfin,
Royal paddle yacht, steamed out soon after 8 a m.
for the purpose of bringing his Royal highness on
shore. It had been blowing a heavy gale all night
from north-west to west, and at the time the Elfin
went out was still blowing very heavily from the
latter point, with occasional rain squalls, but with
much less sea on than at the time when the Eurya-
lus brought up on the previous evening. On the
Elfin's luffing through the Swashway, the little
craft was at times completely hidden from view by
the clouds of foam and spray which flew over her.
Shortly after 10 a.m. his Royal Highness, accom-
panied by Captain Tartleton and his private suite,
embarked on board the Elfin, which steamed into
harbout, when the Prince landed at the dockyard,
and left-for London by the 11 a.m. South-Western
train.

The construction of another gun-vessel is being
proceeded with at Pembroke dockyard. • She is to
be called the Nimble, and is to be built in the same
shed and from the same lines as the Espoir, recently
launched from No. 6 slip. The Nimble will be the
third of these fast despatch vessels built at Pem-
broke, and the,following will be her chief dimen-
sions:—Len gth betweeß. perpendiculars,. 145 ft.;
treffoiTOntiiiie;4o ft ; 1-v44ad-tit-for-
tonnage, 25ft. lin.; breadth, moulded, 24ft. Gin.;
and depth of hold, 13ft. She will be fitted with
engines of 80-horse nominal power, and carry four
broadside guns and one pivot gun.
The naval transport Duck, Mr. Weal master, has '
commenced shipping war stores at Chatham dock-
yard.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty ;—Frederick W. Rea, master,
to the Cumberland; John Wotton, paymaster,
additional, to the Victory ; A. H. Du Borlaz, mid- ,
shipman, to the Centurion ; William Price, inspec-
tor of machinery afloat, to the Victoria and Albert ;

to the Victoria and Albert ; William Brown and '
