BETTING AT MANCHESTER, SATURDAY.

The Metropolitan Stakes remain without change. The
only animal supported was Danae, and all the 4's to 1 that
could be got were taken freely. For the City and Suburban
Handicap Physician, First Lord, Thunderbolt, and Gab-
rielle d'Estrees were very fairly supported at their respec-
tive prices. East Sheen seemed a little on tie wane, for
although 100 to 7 was booked, 100 to 6 was afterwards
offered. Pancake commenced the downward process, and
was stopped at 25 to 1 (taken), but 20 to 1 was offered with-
out response. Lady Clare was much inquired after, but
we saw nothing less than 25 to 1 booked about her. Meta-
dor was freely backed at 7 to 1 for the Two Thousand
Guineas, and 25 to 1 was taken about him for the Derby.
For this latter event Robin Hood, who for a slay or two past,
and early to day, had always money at 30 to 1, declined
towards the close to 40 to 1 (taken and offered). For the
Chester Cup, Killigrew was firm at 20 to 1 (taken), and
there was an attempt made to back Schism, but the price
asked, 40 to 1, was more than any one seemed disposed to
lay. Butterfly receded to 20 to 1 (offered) ; 300 to 9 was
laid agst Horace ; and Wild Rose finished at 40 to 1 (of.
fered). Closing prises :

THE YELVERTON TRIAL.—The Doncaster Chronicle
says that Mrs. (Longworth) Yelverton is shortly expected
in Hull. A subscription has been opened in that town for
the purpose of assisting in defraying the expenses incurred
by the recent trial in Dublin. Mrs. Yelverton herself col-
lected many of the materials that proved of such essential
service to her cause on that trial. She was in the habit of
spending very many hours in the Hull Subscription Library
searching and taking extracts from the various law books.
The Dublin Yelvertoa Fund Committee has made arrange-
ments for the formation of local committees in Cork, Bel-
fast, Waterford, Limerick, Armagh, and other towns. At
a meeting of the committee, on Saturday, orders were made
on the treasurers to draw on the fund for expenses of wit-
nesses summoned to Scotland to give evidence relative to
the marriage in that country.

REFORM BILL.—A special meeting of the Town
Council of Wakefield was held on Friday evening, for the
purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of peti-
tioning in favour of Mr. Baines's Reform Bill. The mayor
presided. Councillor Lamb read a petition in favour of the
bill, which he proposed for presentation to the House of
Commons. Mr. Stonehouse seconded the adoption of the
petition, expressing his approval in general terms of the
principle of Mr. Baines's Bill, and his perfect concurrence
in the able sentiments expressed by Mr. Lamb. After some
observations from Councillors Wainwright, Burton, and
Rhodes, the petition was adopted without a dissentient
voice. The mayor forbore from expressing any opinion
upon the subject, and declined to vote either way.
CRUELTY AVENGED.—A very painful case has.
been submitted to the Court of Assize of La Manche. A
physician named Chesnel, of Mortain, married, nine years
ago, Mademoiselle Noel, daughter of an advocate of that
town, but theywere not able to agree, and frequent quarrels
took place between them. Some time since the doctor's
character became completely soured by the death of his
only child, and he not only quarrelled more than ever with
his wife, but ill-treated her on several occasions. She com-
plained to her parents and to her brother, a young man,
and they naturally felt irritation against the husband. On
the 31st December Dr. Chesnel was in a very bad humour,
and after dinner he drank a quantity of liquor and became,
partly intoxicated. lie then took a whip and went up to
his wife, who on concluding her dinner had retired tr, her
chamber. He ordered his servant to follow him, but rshe de-
clined. On listening, however, this woman heard the man
abuse his wife in gross terms, and afterwards cry to her in
a loud voice, "Go home with you ?" The poor woman
rushed down stairs, and her husband followed her with his
whip. She ian across the garden to her father's, which
was near, and on entering the home cried, " Albert, come to
me 1" Her brother, who was engaged in writing in his own
room, went downstairs, and, seeing his sister bathed in
tears, took up two knives which happened to be on the table
and proceeded straight to Chesnel's house. The servant,
seeing him enter with the knives, tried, " Ah, Arcinsie-ur
Albert, take care what you are doing I" but he stalked 'right
up to Chesnel. The latter, without saying a word, struck
qtuihe ttefdoht. .
