BETTING AT MANCHESTER—YEs TERDIT.

Great changes may very naturally be expected in th•
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 —CESAREIVITCH STARES.—
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 30 to 1
ought, but will be at 8 to 1 before the word " go " is sure to
win. Ho 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, Tamo Deer has gone to try
another, Master Bagot a third, and the fourth, aid
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.

The bulk of the large amount of dollars brought
by the Mexican packet has been disposed of at 611 d. per oz.
being a decline of d. 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 the 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 H. DIXEY.—LOSS OF
ALL HANDS.—We regret to chronicle the meek of the
magnificent Liverpool and New York packet ship Robert
H. Dixey, with the loss of all on board. The melancholy
intelligence is embod'ed in the following brief telegram, re-
ceived at Liverpool yesterday, from New 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 states 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 strange 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 all the
Liberal press, comment very severely on this act of the
Prussian diplomatist.
