Bolingbroke was very steady throughout the afternoon
at 4 to 1, the slightest advance on which would have
been taken in many qu irters; was also firm, and
large sums were laid out on The Nigger at 8 to 1 and
15 to 2; on Pitbfurd at 8 to 1; and on Nutshell, at 25 to
1. Clincher one moment was at 9to 1, laid three or
four time:, but " came agair," and closed at 13 to 2.
Voltigrur also improved; ditto Ghillie Callum (on an
outlay of nearly 1,0001. at 30 to 1), Deicoon, and Captain
Grant. Of the extreme outsiders, St. Fabian and The
Swede were most in favour. The Italian was hacked at
25 to 1, in hundreds, and in ten minutes after was at
1,000 to 10! It is doubtful if tither ho, Mayors, Blirney,
Sir Charles, or Python will start.

TROTTING EX fRAORDINARY.

The match for 501. a side, between Mr. Johnson's
Jackey and Mr. Porter's American horse Tinker, to trot
five miles in harness, which was fixed for Monday last,
at Sunbury-common, attracted a largo number to that
well-known locality. They were, however, destined to
disappointment, for an intimation was given by the
mtho °;
Immense
in the fol-
lowing
police authorities that they should interfere to prevent
the match coming off. Accordingly Friday was agreed
on, and the venue changed to Southall, on the Uxbridge-
road, whither an immense concourse of equestrians and
charioteers wended their way, behind and outside all
sorts of quadrupeds, the Red Lion being the rendezvous.
Umpires and a referee being chosen, the nags
.were
brought our, harnessed to light match carts, Tinker
being driven by Paget, while Mr. Bartley tooled Jackey.
Shortly afLer half- past four the horses leftthr 'tat Ling-post,
two of Frodsham's chronometers, locked in their. boxes,
having been adjusted for the purpose of keeping time,
whereon considerable sums depended.

this time no man ever walked better, if so well, at least,
no recorded time approaches this performance. But " tt 0
pitcher gceth too often to the well," and " the much-
proved cord will break with what it stood in trial," aro
proverbs not less muay than true. At the turn of the
fifteenth mile Smith was visibly in distress, and his pace
decreased with each succeeding 140 yards. Temperance
did his best to refresh and cheer him, but " a leak" had
sprung somewhere, and the steam was "blowing off."
At the end of twenty miles two hours fifty•four minutes
had eNpired, and the " ould on" gave in dead bent, to
his own loss and severe mortification. As " losers have
leave to speak," the usual amount of suspicion was ex-
pressed as to the genuineness of the pedestrian's exer-
j tions.

PARLIAMBNTARY COMAIITTBES.—TDB CENTRAL
GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY.—Yesterday, on the reassem-
blingl of the Committee (Mr. Cardwell in the chair), Mr. ,
Methvin, engineer to the Commercial Gas Company, and Mr. Clegg, inventor of the atmospheric railway system,
' were examined at great length ; and from their evidence it
appeared that the Commercial Gas Company, who are now
charging 55., instead of 6s. per 1,000 cubic feet for gas, di-
vilecl six per cent. on their operations, ex tending over eighty
miles of main. There was not room in the Commercial Corn-
, pany.'s district for another competing company, which
r. yould interfere with more than half its
present rental ; and
if gas were supplied to Bow. Poplar, and Limehouse at 45.,
the company doing so would lose money by it. A reduc-
tion'in the price of gas to 4s. in the City anti elsewhere would
tend to stimulate the consumption. It would be made gene-
rally available for cooking and domestic purposes ; and many
persons, if they could get gas at 45., would have it instead of
fires in their houses. The pipes of the new company might
be laid down without obstructing, and if so only temporarily.
the thickest thoroughfares; and by employing a whole army
of men with pickaxes, Cheapside might be done in a night.
The Committee adjourned to this day at twelve o'clock.

tee passed the preamble of this company's Bill, with modifi-
