BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TIIESDAY.

The many events that are now before the public causes
an early and numerous attendance tet the rooms, ano
never to our recollection were there so many books
opened at this period of the-year as there are now. And
as regards the odds offered, with a few exceptions,
against horses, tbey are really extravagant, yet could be
obtained to money. Tattersall's and Beeton's quotations
are almost disregarded here, so will versed do the .
book-
makers seem to be with the relative chances of the dif-
ferent candidates, and so great is the competition amongst
the layers of the odds. We have very little to record
respec.ing investments made to-day, which were very
few, no commissions of any weight being executed ;
however, we have given a lengthy list of prices which
are chiefly made up from offers. For the Liverpool
Steeplechase, Minos was firm at 10 to 1, and 100 to 6
would have been taken about Omar Pasha, who has
many friends. 8 to 1 was taken to a pony about Skir-
misher for the Northampton Stakes, and 10 to 1 about
Madame Rachel for the Metropolitan Stakes. For the
Chester Cup 325 to 25, and afterwards 200 to 16 was
taken about Leamington, 400 to 10 about St. Domingo,
500 to 10 about Pin wire, and 250 to 10 agst Cotswold,
Prince of Orange, and Bay Hilton jointly. In other re-
spects nothing that requires further comment took place.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHAMPTON.

The long protracted struggle which has afflicted this
town for the last three mouthe, haA jut terminated in
the election of the Liberal candidate, Mr. Wegmbo,
Governor of the Beak of England, to represent the b
rough in the House of Cormnone.

This morning nearly all the shops in the High-street
were closed. Every vehicle in tho town was placarded
with the name of one of the candidAes ; hundreds of
partisans were seen sporting the colours of their favourite.
Sir E ward Butler healed the pelf up to 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, Mr. Weguelin was nest, and Mr. Andrews
last. At that time desperate fights took place in the
High street between the partisans of Sir Edward Butler
and Mr. Weguelin, the committee rooms of whom were
opposite each other. After 2 o'clock Mr. Weguelin les-
sened the distance between himself and his Tory oppo-
nent, and gradually got ahead of him. Mr. Andrews
also picked up well, but he had got so far behind that he
could not recover. Besides, at this time, numbers who
were disposed to vote for Mr. Andrews, seeing the
improbability of his winning, went in and voted for
Weguelin to keep out Butler, the Tory.
