LATEST CITY BETTING—(Tiers DAY).

The _Racing Times says :—There was considerable bustle
and excitement in both the City and Belgravian districts.
The settling passed off (as we are happy to have to chroni-
cle it has lately) most satisfactorily.
Every one was busy on the forthcoming great events,
and some heavy amounts were invested on various animals.
There was a great desire to back several at the
marked pricer, amongst which we enumerate the July
Stakes at Newmarket, for which Walloon and Dictator
were in strong demand, and the former left off at 5 to 2, and
the latter was backed for same money at 3 to 1. Lupus
was backed at 6 to 1, and although several others were
spoken of, still they were not backed for any money. For
the Stamford Plate, Queen of the Vale was, as might have
ben supposed, made the favourite, and as little as 3 to 1
was taken with avidity. Brown Duchess and Satellite were
each supported at 6 to 1, and both had numerous admirers,
especially the latter, lut no vast amount of money was in-
vested.

For the Cumberland Plate 'Wildman was "all the go ; "
in fact, there was scarcely anything else thought of, much
Less spoken about. 6to 4 was hardly offered before it was
taker, so eager were the backers to get on.

The Worcester Stakes attracted but little attention,
nothing else being mentioned but Crater, the longest price
offered being 6 to 4.

On the Liverpool Cup speculation was very brisk ; in
fact, there was more absolute business done on this than on
any other forthcoming event. Aston was in great demand
from the opening of the rooms, and although at first 6
to 1 was obtainable, at the close 4 to 1 was his really
marketable price. Viatka seemed to be the next in favour,
Bto 1 being taken. Moorcock, Horace, Adam Bede, and
the Druid were each supported in different quarters with
some spirit. For the Goodwood Stakes Gridiron ad-
vanced in favour. At the commencement 6 to 1 was
taken, but after a short interval as little as 5 to 1 was
taken freely, and eventually 4 to 1 was the highest offer.
Rattiebone had no friends to-day, so they " hit him
again." At the finish his knock down was 100 to 8.
Stapleton was backed freely at 12 to 1, and Satellite came
all at once and was backed for money at 20 to 1, and 100 to
6 at last could only have been procured to an infinitessimal
amount.

For the Goodwood Cup 4 to 1 was offered on the field.
Butterfly was the only animal we saw backed, and 8 to 1
was taken about her.

The Doncaster St. Leger betting had no animation, and
will searcely require any comment.
The following quotations show the latest state of the
market :

STANDING ORDERS.
On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the standing
order No 178 was considered and suspended, in order that
the Mid Sussex and Midhurst Junction Railway Deviation
Bill might be proceeded with.
THE ITALIAN PAPERS.

Lord STRATFORDdeHikiiiiE4 wished to ask ail
question of the noble lord the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs. It was, when the Italian papers which
had been moved for in the other house would be laid upon
the table ? Questions of the greatest importance were con-
nected with that correspondence, and it would be a great
convenience if it was known when those papers would be
produced.
Lord WODEHOUSE was understood to say the papers
would be laid on the table on Thursday next.
THE BIBLE IN INDIA.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY appealed to the noble
duke (Marlborough) to postpone the motion which
stood on the paper in his name for that evening.
He heard from the best authority, from persons
connected and residing in India—the peculiar position of
affairs in India at the present moment—the state of distrust
in mens minds—adismasion of that nature would be highly
inexpedient at the present time, and, ho might say, hazard-
ous. (Hear, hear.) If the noble lord took the step he
proposed, the diffusion of Christianity would be imperilled.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH joined in the appeal of
the noble earl who had just sat down. If the noble duke
valued the peace of India he would not proceed with his
motion that evening.
Lord HARRIS said he spoke from some experience, and
he could not but think that there was great danger in going
into such a discussion at the present moment.
The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said he felt the great
difficulty in which he stood after the appeals that had been
made to him, but the subject was one he had not under-
