BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-SATIIRDAY.

For the Leamington Stakes, Artless was supported at
different times at 5 and 6 to 1; but, ultimately, 7 to 1 was
laid and offered on the field. Romulus, Shipwreck, De-
fender, Prince of Denmark, and Jingling Johnny were
talked about, but no agreement was come to as to the taking
price. For the St. Leger, 2 to 1 was taken very freely
against Kettledrum, but 7 to 4 was declined. 10 to 1
would have been taken to money about Kildonan, but there
was no higher offer than 9to 1. Aurelian was very firm.
Janus had a rather shaky appearance, but his friends
rallied, and 100 to 8 was taken freely. 'malls appears to ,
be the selected one from Lord Stamford's lot ; from the 100
to 3,taken and offered yesterday, he finished to-day at 100
to 8 (taken). Closing prices :

A LADY KILLED ON THE GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY.

An investigation was held on Friday by Mr. G.
S. Brent, the deputy-coroner for West Middlesex,
at the Coach and Horses, Ealing, on the body of a
lady-like person, unknown, about 30 years of age,
who was found dead near the Ealing bridge, on the
Great Western Railway, having apparently been
run over by a train.
It appeared that about eight o'clock on Monday
evening last a policeman at the Ealing station re-
ceived information from the driver of the 6.45 train
from Windsor, that he had run over a woman. He
took a lamp, and on proceeding about 200 or 300
yards down the line he first found a cape, and then
a bonnet, and subsequently the body of a female.
She laid with her head inside the rails, and her
body outside. The left arm was separated from the
body. She was conveyed to the Coach and Horses,
where she was searched, and in her pocket were
two very good Pocket handkerchiefs marked
eA. M. a pair of gloves, and a portemonnaie,
containing 2s. 6d. and smaller money. She was
very respectably attired,
with lace or open work
round her under clothing, and she wore several
articles of jewellery, denoting her to be of respect-
ability. The driver and fireman both saw her
coining down the bank, but it was impossible to
stop the train, The deceased had been seen in a
neighbouring village during Monday, and also be-
tween seven and eight eveningo'acsltocskeetnheshseamapepearedin

study, but there was nothing remarkable in her
appearance. Inquiries had been made at a photo-
graphic artist's in Regent-street, consequent on a
ticket being found on her bearing that address, and
apparently her name, " Miss Davis." The body,
however, could not be identified, as some other per-
son had fetched away the portrait, and no copy had
been taken.
The jury were in doubt as to whether deceased
attempted to cross the rails before the engine could
reoch her, whether the accidentally slipped down,
er whether she had a suicidal ietention, and there-
upon returned an open verdict, with an expression

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE NEAR THE STRAND.
—Yesterday afternoon, as two servant girls belonging to
the Bello Vue Hotel, in Norfolk-street, Strand, were look-
ing over some railings extending from the house, one of
them unfortunately dropped over into the Thames, and the
other girl followed to save her. Boats were put off from
the police ship and shore, when the girls were picked up,
but one was quite dead. The remains of the unfortunate
creature were taken to the house of Mr. Pryor, the Howard
Arms, for a coroner's inquest. Tho deceased, whose name
is King, was about 22 years old, and the principal support
