CITY BETTING-(THIS DIY).

The _Racing Times says :—There was a large attendance
at all the places where bookmakers most do congregate, but
there was very little business done on future events, with
the exception of the Northumberland Plate. The time was
principally occupied in discussing the past Ascot week, and
settling its accounts. The meeting at Hampton was touched,
and so were the races at Newton, but speculation was very
languid.
For the events to be decided at Hampton, the principal
attraction was the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, for
which the Farmer's Daughter colt was to all intents and
purposes the favourite ; as little as 6 to 4 was taken after
two's to one had been greedily taken up. Claire and Kin-
nersley had both supporters, and indeed these were the only
other animals who were trusted with much money.
For the Cramond Stakes 6 to 4 and afterwards 5 to 4 was
laid on Little Lady, and with this exception 4 to 1 was cur-
rently reported.
Newton being the only other meeting in the ensuing
week, and being so far from home, did not engross much
attention.

For the Trial Stakes Ripon was backed at prices varying
from 2 to 1 to 6 to 4.

For the Great Newton Handicap Baronet was the only
animal who seemed to be fancied by the fraternity of
backers. They supported him at 10 to 1; shortly after-
wards 7 to 1 was taken, and he eventually left off at 5 to 1
(offered).
For the Northumberland Plate, Ben Webster was the
favourite at 5 to 1 (t) ; bar Ben Webster, 7 to 1 could hove
been obtained about any other. 8 to 1 was taken about
Butterfly. Gladiolus was backed at the commencement of
the morning at 10 to 1; then 8 to 1 was taken; and at the
break-up of the Rooms 7 to 1 was the highest offer. Wild-
man was the only other in the rate that was backed for any
money, his price being 10 to 1 at the close.
The St. Leger betting was somewhat slack ; 3 to
1 was currently offered on the field, and 4 to
1 would have been takes. about Wizard or Thprmanby.
There were several inquiries after Buccaneer, and 12 to 1,
although offered, was not accepted. The following list of
quotations will be sufficient. .

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Lord De Freyne's Estate, Mersey Docks and Harbour
Board, Cilgwrgan, Bettws, and Tregynon Road Bills were
read a second time.
The Edinburgh Royal College of Surgeons and Cardiff
Water Bills were read a third time and passed.

LAW AND EQUITY.
The 'LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that on Fri-
day, the 22d, he should move that the bill for the fusion of
law and equity should be referred to a select committee.

HARBOURS OF REFUGE.
Lord RAVENSWORTH begged to ask the Govern-
ment whether they intended to take any steps towards carry-
ing out without further delay the recommendations made
in the report of the Royal Commission that had sat on this
subject. The late awful stormy weather had painfully
shown the necessity of something being done immediately.
The Luke of SOMERSET said it was customary to give
notice of any question of importance, as that rule had not
been observed on the present occasion, he was not in a
position to give the noble lord an answer to his question.
