BETTING AT MANCHESTER-YESTERDAY.

Great changes may very naturally be expected in the
Cesarewitch betting the nearer we approach the time of
running. Yesterday there was a great rush on Barabbas,
Optimist, and Conscript ; to day, they were not in such
great force, and their places were taken by Golden Pippin
and Killigrew ; the former advanced to 15 to 1, and the
latter to 16 to 1 (taken). The business transacted on these
two horses comprise nearly all that was done on any future
event during the day. Closing prices:—

EXTRAORDINARY RACE CESAREWITCII STAKES.—
YOUATT WILLIAM GRAY'S advice on this race reveals all
the mysteries connected with this extraordinary event. No
previous contest for this or any other great event ever mys-
tified the racing public more than the betting on the present
Cesarewitch Stakes. 20 to lon the field nine days before
the race is to many a puzzler. A horse now at 3►to 1
ought, but will be at 8 to 1 before tho word " go," is sure to
win. He has kept an eye on every move while at New-
market, but in spite of all dodging is not to be cheated.
Pitman has already tried one, Tame Deer has gone to try
another, Master Bagot a third, and the fourth, and
very likely the winner. Remember, nothing could stall
me off St. Albans for the St. Leger, and come what may I
shall remain staunch to the helm, with the confidence of
bringing my friend's investments to a profitable and victo-
rious issue. Cambridgeshire Stakes, a horse at 100 to lis
sure to win by half a distance. Terms, to the end of the
season, 7s. 6d ; all races up to and including the Cam-
bridgeshire Stakes, ss. ; the two great events, 2s. 6d. Ad-
dress, 15, Charing-cross. N.B.—A liberal per centage is
expected on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. Take
the double event, £l,OOO to £1 can be obtained. '

A Q VATIC&

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £5O.

One of the finest races ever seen was rowed yesterday
between two novices, and goes further to establish the fact
that the unknowns who row for small sums row the best
races. Ths competitors were Edward Eagers, waterman,
of Chelsea ; and John Tagg, waterman's apprentice, of I
Moulsey, the former being six or seven years his opponent's
senior; but a very much smaller man. The stake was £25
a side, and the distance to be pulled over was Putney to
Mortlake. The Lalla Rookh accompanied the race, and
Mr. Newnham having been appointed referee, and other
preliminaries settled, the men get to their posts, Eagers
with the best place. Eagers dashed away with the lead,
but was immediately caught, and then commenced a splen-
did race. They were level for 100 yards, and then Tagg
began to lead, and had soon got almost clear, but Eagers
kept him there, and so they rowed to beyond the Crabtree,
where Eagers repeatedly came over his opponent's stern
only to be left astern again, and they passed under Ham-
mersmith-bridge with Tagg just clear. Eagers here kept
spurting up, and 200 yards further ao came up that he was
going by, when they fouled. Tagg pulled himself clear,
but Eagers again drew up, and on Tagg rowing across him
a second foul was the result. This went on without any
change right up to the winning post, Tagg, as often as
Eagers attempted to pass him, rowed right across him, and
Tagg came in first with Eagers on to his scull. An appeal
was made by Eagors's umpire to the referee that the race
should be his, as Tagg had caused the fouls, and the referee
at once and very properly declied that Eagers had won.

The bulk of the large amount of dollars brought
by the Mexican packet has been disposed of at 610. per oz.
being a decline of id. on the rate realised for those by the
last mail, and of id. upon the price obtained for late arri-
vals. Considering the magnitude of the amount arrived,
this is thought to be a fair price. The dollars will not be
deliverable at the Bank for nearly a week.
THE GREAT EASTERN STEAMSHIP COMPANY.—
A number of large shareholders in the Great Ship Com-
pany met the directors yesterday by invitation, to consider
and determine on future operations, and a statement of
their decision with the report of tho Board of Trade will
be published in the papers by the directors. The decision,
in brief, was to detain the ship at Milford Haven during
the winter, to lay a new deck, introduce a warming appa-
ratus, and make a thorough and proper completion of the
main screw shaft bearings. The Board of Trade reported
the hull of the ship as perfect. No additional capital is
believed to be required.
WRECK OF THE ROBERT IL DIXEY.—LOSS OF
ALL HANDS.—We regret to chronicle the wreck of the
magnificent Liverpool and New York packet ship Robert
H. Dixey, with the loss of all on board. The melancholy
intelligence is embodied in the following brief telegram, re-
ceived at Liverpool yesterday, from Now Orleans :—" The
Robert H. Dixey, bound from Liverpool to New York, and
thence to Mobile, was blown ashore at the latter place, and
became a total wreck, All on board perished." The date
of the sad catastrophe is not given ; but no doubt the next
mail from the United States will give full particulars.
THE LATE DEATH FROM CHLOROFORM.—In re-
ference to the recent death at the Northampton Infirmary
from chloroform, a physician sta'es that there is a remedy
now in practice to prevent such occurrences, but which is
not generally known. It consists in making the patient
swallow a quantity of ammonia at the time of inhalation.—
Northampton Free Press.
A somewhat stzange incident is at the present
moment serving as the subject of discussion in the Prus-
sian journals. It is stated that Count Perpoucher' the
Prussian Minister to the King of Naples, placed at the
disposal of King Francis, at Gaeta, the Prussian vessel
Loreley, to carry secret despatches to the Commandant of
the fortress of Messina. The National Gazette, and aft the
Liberal press, comment very severely on this act of the
Prussian diplomatist.
THE AFFRAY AT DERRYMACASIL—LITRGAN,
Monday.—The adjourned inquest on the body of Thomas
Murphy, who died from the effects of a gunshot wound re-
ceived at Derrymacash on the 12th of July, was resumed
and concluded this day. The jury returned a verdict to the
effect that deceased died of a gunshot wound inflicted by
some persons unknown. They also added that the peace of
the country would be much promoted by the discontinuance
of party displays of every kind,
