BET'T'ING HOUSES.

The following communication was received by Sir
R. W. Carden from an ex ensive house in the north
of England, and by him transmitted to the Com-
missioner of the City Police :

" Leeds.

" R. W. Carden, Esq.
"D.ar S:r,—We take the liberty of addressing
you in your magisterial capacity, and of enclosing a
circular we have received,.addm•sed to a clerk who
has lately been dismissed from our service, having
been guilty of pecalation in his cash account. We
have reason to believe he has been engaged in ex-
tensive betting op-rations, and the enclosed circular
discloses the snare into which it is very likely he
has fallen.
. .

" You are no doubt aware of the existence of

betting homes' of this character, and the matter
may be nothing new to you ; but it occurs to us
that the circular may be useful to you as a magis-
trate. " We remain, &c.

' ' ' CIRCULAR.

" ' Dear S'r,—Although we have not the pleasure
of registering your name among the numerous list of
subscribers for the current season, we cannot for-
get old associations, and, with the view of resusci-
tating your confidence, we beg to forward you our
circular, which was originally- intended only for
present subscribers ; but, being anxious that you
likewise should participate, we beg to say that you
may with unreserved confidence act upon our re-
commendation, and• in proportion to the amount of
your investment will be the amount we shall have
the pleasure of remitting you ; and you will find
that when we pledge our reputation' as to any
event it may be always acted upon .as a certainty,
never having failed in our promise.
"'Dear Sir,—lt is seldom we have the oppor-
tunity of addressing you with so much confidence as
on the present occasion in reference to the Derby.
We stated in our circular of January last that on
some of the events mentioned—viz., the Liverpool
Spring Cup, the 1,000 Guineas, and the Derby, we
should be enabled to pledge our reputation as to the
result. In the two cases already decided your win-
nings must have been considerable, as we never de-
rioted from our advice except to hedge so much
off Vedette as would make your stake safe ;' and
even this we should not have done, although pru-
dent, perhaps, under any circumstances, but
that we found by inspection Vedette was really
lame.
" When we sent out Tournament for the Eglin-
ton Stakes, and the Maid of Der went for the Liver-
pool Autumn Cup, we pledged our reputation the
horses would win. We now do the same on the
Derby with increased certainty, and adopt the
same system as on those occasions. Whatever
amount, therefore, you wish to be on you must re •
mit at once. We pledge our reputation the horse
will win. We are under the most solemn promise
not to send it out in our circulars, and indeed the
repeated 'forestalling' which we have experienced
on past events most emphatically points to us that
if we wish to study the interest of our subscribers
we best consult it by adopting this course.
" We embrace, then, th earliest moment of
apprising you, and trust you will not lose an hour
in sending the amount you wish invested. We
can strongly recommend you to send a handsome
sum ; the odds will be very good, and we also
pledge ourselves to remit to you on the Monday
following the race. On receipt of remittance it will
be duly acknowledged and the odds elven.
" We will now only say we trust that you have
sufficient confidence in us to believe that our only
desire is to benefit, while we at the same time in-
crease our own reputation.
" Pray do not lose a moment, as one day may
make a material difference in the odds to be ob-

tained.
" Orders not for less than 51., nor exceeding
20/., may be made payable to Henry Howard,
Post-office, Coventry-street, Soho. Notes may be
enclosed with safety.

tea and 766 bales of silk.
CRICKET. —MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND AGAINST
THE COUNTY OF KENT.—This match was concluded at

Lord's yesterday, and proved a very dose one, the Mary-
lebone Club and Ground winning by five runs only.
DIEU, FUGACES !—People remark upon Duke Con

stantine's having paid us English a flying visit. Such
comments are unkind. It is not easy for Russians to

get rid of their habit throughout the war.—Punch.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East

India House, when the Right Hon. Sir Lawrence Peel
was sworn in a director of the Rut India Company, and

took his seat at the board accordingly. Lieut.-General

ticket, 984 ; on payment of ls. eaci, 4,889 ; total, 5,873.

Of these, 1,682 arrived by railaay. The number of
visitors yesterday was likely to exceed that of Tuesday,

though not large.

Tax CROPS.—The Derbyshire Mercury says :—The
crops in the neighbourhood of Felper present a most
luxuriant appearance. There has been a great change
in the face of the country during the last ten days. The
wheats, we are glad to say, look extremely well. Grass
is plentiful. As to garden prodsce, we know not the
time when potatoes, tke cottager's friend, showed so
well. _ _ _ _

FAMILY JEWELS.—On Tuesday the Lord Chancellor
of Ireland gave judgment in the somewhat curious case
of "Berry v. Berry," relating to family jewel. The
plaintiff, Mrs. Berry, mother of the late John AL. Berry,
Eiq , of the county of Westmeath, filed a petition, pray-
ing that certain jewel.; given by her son on his marriage,
might be returned by his widow. They were alleged to
be worth from 8,000/. to 9,000/. The Lord Chancellor
5 7 decided in favour of the widow, who is the daughter o"
••I the Master of the Roll'.

A CASE FOR SOLOEION.—Two colts were last year put

into a park on a farm in the Bayne by different owners,
which appear to have shown remarkable similarity in
shape, size, colour, &I. One died, as bad luck would
have it, an.l both the owners claimed the remaining
animal, maintaining their rights so firmly on either side
that the result is a complicated law-suit. A proof was
recently taken in the case in the Court House here, and
the animal was brought into Bariff and stabled at the
Royal Oak that it might be examined by the witnesses
ere they were put on oath as to its identity.—Banffshire
Journal.
METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL.—The anniversary
festival of this most excellent institution, situated in

taken by the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P.,
who was supported by Mr. Roupele M.P., Mr. White,
M.P., the Princes of Oude and suite, Captain Sands and

160 friends of the institution. The subscriptions of the
evening amounted to o!ose upon 1,4001.

fad) was burglariouely entered a few nights ago by some

fastenings, he passed through the apartment unobserved

Tin FATAL AFFRAY IN WELLING ON-STREET.--Yes'
terday afternoon an inquiry took place in King's College
