WAGEE.—A bet of a very sporting charaeter was de'

- Greys, betting 2001. to 401. that he would ride four
- horses bona fide belonging to him over 12 feet of water,
0 each horse to be allowed two trials. The place selected
4 for the event to come off was near Clondalkin, between&
the seventh and eighth lock on the Grand Canal, and
7%- was selected by Mr. J. Cassidy, of James's-street, who
7 trained the Miller, a very promising 4-yr-old, with
- whom the gallant captain made his first essay. After a
preliminary caster, and jumping three or four small
- fences, he came a rattler at the brook, which he cleared
- in first-rate style. The celebrated steeplechase horse

mistake ; not so Tallyho, who breasted the, bank,
pitching his rider clear over his heap, but Without'
Ice' any further mishap occurring. The next animal put
in requisition was a grey, Twig Topper, who did
his work in hunter-like style. Notwithstanding the
IM„ failure Tallyho had previously made, his plucky owner
mounted him again, and in putting him over is couple of
- small fences he twice grassed his rider, and it appeared
any odds against the feat being accomplished. The cap.
_ tain, however, nothing daunted, came at a splitting peas
and just cleared the water, the horse falling on landing,

umpire he decided the bet was fairly won. Very few

LIVERPOOL-DEC. 29.

There was a good attendance this morning, and wheat
; met with a good consumptive demand. A fair amount of
business was done at the full prices of last week, fine qua.
lilies of white and red being most sought afer, and rather
more money in some instances paid. Flour neglected, and
in the few sales made buyers had the advantage. Oats in
moderate request, at late rates, but oatmeal sold slowly,
scarcely maintaining its value. Barley and peas as before,
but Egyptian beans 6d per qr. lower.
