BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

The little business done to-day was nearly confined to
the Goodwood Stakes, and early cn Shipwreck appeared to
have rather a shaky appearance ; 10 to 1 was laid and
offered, but ultimately 8 to 1 was the highest offer made.
Schism, Starke, and Brownie received a fair amount of
support ; 25 to 1 each was taken against Voltella and
Guilder, and also would have been taken about either
Queen of the Vale, Surprise, or Anthem, but 20 to 1, the
highest offer, was declined. 4to 1 was freely offered on the
field for the Goodwood Cup. We quote some of the offers
made on that event, premising that we did not see a single
transaction booked. Closing prices :

THE DERBY, OAKS, AND ST. LEGER OF 1863.—The
entries for these, the three greatest events of the year, ara
the largest on record. The Derby has closed with 258, the
Oaks with 191, and the St. Leger with 210 subscribers.
This shows a vast majority over the greatest number in any
one year hitherto. The largest entry of previous years for
the two Epsom events was in 1859 for the Derby, the num-
ber of subscribers being 246, and for the Oaks in 1849, when
they numbered 172. Thus the year 1863 will show an in-
crease of 12 for the Derby, and 19 for the Oaks. The St.
Leger of 1862 has had hitherto the heaviest entry, but the
succeding year will show an increase of 27. The following
comparative table will show at a glance the increase already
mentioned :
Greatest Entry Hitherto. In 1860. In 1863.
Derby 1859-246 .. 224 .. 258
Oaks
St. Leger
The foregoing will readily convince the most bigoted oppo-
nents of the national pastime that it is no use their decry-
ing a sport which has taken such fast hold upon the English
people.

THE HIGII-PRICED YEARLINGW,—The 1,500 guinea
yearling, by West Australian out of Ellerdale, purchased
by Col. Towneley at the Middle Park sale, has been named
Nugget ; and the 1,000 guinea yearling (half-brother to
Diophantus), by The Cure out of Equation, has been named
by Lord Stamford )Enopides ; and his colt, by Wild Dayrell
out of Moodkee, for which his lordship gave 1,100 guineas,
at the same time, Umballah. All three are engaged in the
Derby and St. Leger of 1863.

The goldships from Australia known to be out

Agincourt, 106 days, with £79,000 ; the Norfolk, 91 days,
with £235,000; and Donald M'Kay, 83 days out, with
£200,000, making a total of £582,000 due or overdue.
The mercantile community of Havre are endea-
vouring to get established a daily mail communication be-
tween that port and Southampton by means of the South
'Western Company's steamers, for the purpose of facilitat-
ing the French mails to and from the "West Indies, the
Brazils, and the United States. The French Government
have offered to exempt the company from harbour and other
dues,which would amount to upwards of £5OOO a-year, pro-
vided such daily communication is established. At present
the communication is only tri-weekly.

ITALY.

At letter from Turin of the 9th says:—" The
Marquis Caracciolo, a deputy in the Parliament, is
about to go to Lisbon on a mission similar to that
which the Marquis De Torrearsa fulfils at Stock-
holm. As to Belgium the Government has not yet
sent to it any notification. The system of Count
Cavour which is followed by his successor was net
to force the march of events, and in particular not
to create any embarrassment to Governments whose
position might be difficult. With regard to Russia,
there is no appearance thus far that tho presence of
M. De Stackelberg will lead to ab renewal of diplo-
matic relations ; and that diplomatist maintains
great reserve. The Official Gazette contains several
nominations of governors of provinces. Among
them is that of Count M. Amari, the Sicilian Sena-
tor, who is distinguished both by talent and
eharater ; he has been appointed to the governor-
ship of Modena. The choice of the other persons
isnot so happy, inasmuch as they are not supposed
to possess superior qualities ; but perhaps they will
be found better than their reputation. The Minister
of the Interior has dismissed a vast number of
governors and intendants (prefects and sub-prefects)
in the Kingdom of Naples; he has in fact executed
a veritable Saint-Bartholomew among them. The
victims are altogether unknown, and probably they
are the creatures of M. Liborio Romano. That
deputy is very angry at the matter, and in the
sitting of the Chamber to-day he wanted to address
an interpellation to the Government on the subject ;
but the President, in accord with the Government,
succeeded, not, however, without some difficulty, in
postponing it indefinitely. The Ministry is anxious
to avoid a Parliamentary debate on the affairs cf
Naples, and it cannot be blamed, seeing that cir-
cumstances are not favourable for discussion, and
that it is not prudent to pour oil on the flames."
