BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FnmA.Y.

A great number of horses were mentioned to-day for
the tbester Cup, but few of them were backed. Sweet
William remains firm at the head of the list, and 11 to 1
was the highest offer against tither Physician or Pal-
mister. Botany was much inquired after, but offers of
40 to 1 against her were refused. Vanity and Princess
Royal remain steady at 20 to 1. Borderer's performance
for the Wiltshire, on Thursday, being only beaten by a
head, has not improved him in the betting for this event,
1,000 to 10 being offered against him to-day. For the
Derby, Fitz-Roland was supported at 7 to 1. and 8 to 1
would bare be en taken about Tozophilite. Any advance
upon 25 to 1 would have been taken about Physician.
In other respects the following quotations will suffice,
which are the closing prices :

THE WAR IN INDIA.—A supplement to last night's
Orzette contains a despatch from Colonel J. K. M`Caus-1
la-d, commanding in Kumaon, dated Camp Huldwanee,
February 12, giving an account of the complete defeat
of the rebels at Churpoorab by the troops under his
command. Colonel M'Causland states tbat the position
,f the enemy was as follows :—" A force of 3,000 in-
fantry, with 800 cavalry, and six guns, commanded by
Fuzul Huq, was encamped at Sunda in a strong posi-
iou on the hanks of the Sookhee River, about 15 miles
trout my camp. Another force, commanded by Khali
Khan, of 4,000 infantry, 800 cavalry, and 4 guns,
was encamped at Bundea, but within the la.it few
days bad advanced in this direction, and formed a
camp at Churporab, on the Paha Nuddee, 16 miles
f. out here." Col. M'Causland then describes the defeat
,)1 the enemy, giving his opinion that they had 300
killed and twice that number wounded. We had 38
fficer, and men killed acid wounded. The Governor-
Gr. n,ral acknowledges tile receipt of the despatch, and
M'Causl .n.l and the officers under him.
',turn of the ordnance and ammunition captured at
Churporah is then given. Some despatches follow
rota Major-General Sir James Outran, describing the
iepulse of an attack made by the enemy upon his posi-
,ion at Alumbagh on the 21st of February. The parti-
culars of this gallant repulse have been published. A
return is given of the casualties in the field and of the
liduance and ammunition captured frorem theireonartze.
