TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY.
Subscribers mustered rather numerously. For the
Chester Cup a strong disposition was evinced to back
be. "the doings" on that event were chiefly
c3nfined to conjectures and predictions as to the anxi-
ously expected weights. During the early part of the
afternoon 1,000 to 40 was offered on the field, which
odds were taken freely about Mincepie. The other in-
vestments ?ere unimportant. 30 to 1 was " wanted"
about St. Giles ; 50 to 1 was currently offered against
the Maid of Der went, who at half that price was in
great force in the City during the past week.
The betting on the Derby, although in certain i nstances
the investments were small, took a somewhat extensive
range. Tournament and M.D. were in strong demand,
and at the prices quoted were backed for a considerable
sum, The colt by Surplice out of Blue Devils was also
in good request.

RoBSON, THE CRYSTAL PALACE! FoRGRR.—It appears
that RAson, who is now in Newgate, having been placed
there to facilitate the making up of his accounts under
the fiat in bankruptcy, has for some days past evinced
symptoms of aberration of mind. The mental anxiety
he has undergone consequent upon his irretrievably de-
graded position, the indignities and personal suffering to
which he, in common with all convicts sentenced to
transportation, is subjected, have completely shaken
his intellect. His insanity is said to have assumed a form
of intense melancholy. There can be little doubt that
he will be removed to Bethlehem Hospital as a criminal
lunatic, where, in all probability, he will shortly end his
days, as he manifests symptoms of a complete constitu-
tional decay.
