BETTING AT MANCHESTER.--PIIIDAY.
The attendance of subscribers at the rooms to-day was
exceedingly numerous, and a great:quantity of horses
figured in the betting for the Cesarewitch Stakes, but
Prioress and Malacca were the only candidates out of the
front rank that were really in demand, and the mare had
just the call of the horse, 12 to 1 being taken about the
former and 100 to 8 (taken and offered) against the latter
—2O to 1 would have been taken about either Underhand
or Happy Land, and although that figure was taken each.
about Roman Candle and English Rose, that price was
offered frequently during the afternoon against each of
them without a response. Rocket has become almost
friendless. The feature of the day was the advance of
Physician to 30 to 1 taken, and for a time he looked very
healthy, but before the members dispersed 1,000 to 30 was
offered against him, without finding an acceptor. Benefield
was backed in a- good quarter, opening at 1,000 to 15, and
closing at 50 to 1; we should think he was supported to
win upwards of £12,000. Nothing was done upon the
Cambridgeshire Stakes.

EXTENSION OF THE LIVERPOOL

DOCKS.

At the meeting of the Mersey Docks and Har-
bour Board the discussion was resumed on the pro-
position of Mr. Rankin to the effect that it is
desirable to take steps to extend and improve the
dock facilities on the Lancashire side of the Mer-
sey, and that a special committee be appointed to
consider the question. The plans which he pro-
posed embraced improvements north and south ;
but the most urgent requirements were in con-
nexion with the provision of additional water and
quay accommodation for the timber and steam
trades at the north end, where the total area of
works proposed to be completed in five years was
about 95 acres of additional dock space, involving
an outlay of about £403,995, of which £103,995
would be expended in the formation of an embank-
ment, building a river wall, &c., to the extent of
446,200 square yards, the building of a half-tide
basin, with 60 feet entrance, and a passage forming
a junction with the newly opened Canada Dock ;
two canals, 80 feet wide, quays, railways, &c., at a
cost of £165,000; and the building of adock north
of the Canada Dock, with a passage to the half-
tide basin, at a cost of £135,000. The entire esti-
mated cost of providing additional dock space of
95 acres was at the rate of 17s. 6d. per
e yard.
Nothing, he was convinced, had ever been do at
Liverpool, and nothing could be done

Mr. S. . GRAVES, chairman of the Shipowners'
Association, seconded the proposition.
Mr. ARNOLD moved an amendment to the effect
that until the board had met their existing obliga-
tions, and had completed the large works already
in progress, they were not justified in going into
the enormous expenditure contemplated.
Mr. LAIRD said the works on the Birkenhead
side would not be completed under £2,000,000,
entailing a yearly expenditure of £600,000 until
completed, and that it would bring the debt on the
estate up to £12,000,000.
After some observations from Mr. Bushell, the
meeting broke up.

On Monday the Emperor Napoleon will quit the
camp of Chalons, accompanied by Marshal Canrobert as far
as Rheims, where his Majesty will pass the night. The
Emperor will arrive at Rheims in the afternoon, and after
being present at a Te Down in the cathedral, will alight at
the archbishop's palace, where he will pass the night. In
the evening there will be a ball at the Hotel de Vile, and
the next morning the Emperor will leave for Paris.
