BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY.

It is difficult yet to assign to Thormanby his proper place
in the betting ; during the afternoon ho was backed at 4 to
1, but at the close 5 to 1 was freely offered without response.
Sabreur was supported at 9 to 2; 6 to 1 was taken about
The Wizard; and 15 to 2 was taken about Sweetsauce. St.
Albans was inquired after, and 20 to 1 was asked for, but
no one offered more than 100 to 6. There was not much
business done, the races at Warwick occupying the greatest
share of attention. Closing prices :

ST. LEGER,OZORKSHIRE HANDICAP.-YOUITT WM.
GRIT'S advice on the Doncaster Meeting will be issued
daily. A horse at 50 to 1 will be first, second, or third for
the St. Leger. Backing for a place is coining money. He
has discovered a secret that must make a "mint" of money
on three events at Doncaster. Now that the weather is set
in fine he is confident of selecting winners without the
danger of his calculations being upset. Terms for the week,
2s. 6d. ; to the end of the season, 10s. 6d.—Address, 15,
Charing-cross, London.

THE LATE FIRE AT WEST KENT WHARF.—This
tremendous fire, which broke out on Friday fortnight, was
not wholly extinguished last evening, although so many days
have elapsed since the first of the outbreak being discovered.
Since the time the fire was got somewhat under the control
of the firemen, Mr. Hodsoll, the principal assessor of losses
to most of the fire insurance companies, his son William,
and Mr. White, of the County-office, have been actively
engaged looking after and taking charge of the immense
amount of salvage still remaining within the tottering walls
of the warehouse. Over 9,000 quarters of wheat, oats,
seeds, &c., have been recovered from the ruins, some severely
injured and a great amount only slightly injured by fire and
water. A great amount of bacon, hogslard, Indian corn,
and several bales of wool have been rescued owing to the
exertions of Messrs. Hodsoll and White. Unfortunately,
£2,000 worth of feathers, or rather their remains, have
been found, and they.were not insured for a single penny.
In the cellars are an immense number of hides, and owing
to the fury of the fire and the action upon them of the
scalding water the stench has been almost intolerable; in
fact, some of the men employed in removing those articles
have been almost suffocated by the effluvia emitted. The
wool on the premises at the time of the disaster was roughly
estimated at £30,000, but a great amount of that has been
saved. Owing to the hot water that has fallen into the
different floors among the wheat, oats, and seeds, they have
commenced growing, and some of the floors are not less
than six inches deep covered with verdure—to repeat Mr.
Hodsoll's words, "they resemble so many green parks."
Tea, sugar, stationery, writing desks, and fancy articles of
nearly every sort, have been recovered from the wreck, but
of course greatly injured by the action of the fire or the boil-
ing water. The offices which will principally suffer are the
Union, the Liverpool and London, the Royal, the Phoenix,
the Globe, and the Kent. The whole of the front side
nearest St. Saviour's Church has been scaffolded by the
Union Fire,o H ce, in order that the walls may be pulled
down ; and up to the present time four sales of the salvage
have been held by Mr. Hodsoll, the receipts from which
amount to some thousand pounds.
