Bolingbroke was very steady throughout the afternoon
at 4 to 1, the slightest advance on which would have
been taken in many quarters; Mildew was also firm, and
large sums were laid out on The Nigger at 8 to 1 and
15 to 2; on Pusford at 8 to 1; and on Nutshell, at 25 to
1. Clincher one moment was at 9to 1, laid three or
tour times, but "came again," and closed at 13 to 2.
Voltigeur also improved; ditto Ghillio Callum (on an
outlay of nearly I,OOOL at 30 to I), Deicoon, and Captain
Grant. Of the extreme outsiders, St. Fabian and The
Swede were most in favour. The Italian was backed at
25 to 1, in hundreds, and in ten minutes after was at
1,000 to 10! It is doubtful if either he, Mayors, Blsrney,
Sir Charles, or Python will start.

TROTTING EXTRAORDINARY.
The match for 50/. 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 large number to that
well-known locality. They were, however, destined to
disappointment, for an intimation was given by the
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 out, harnessed to light match carts, Tinker
being driven by Paget, while Mr. Bartley tooled Jackey.
Shortly after half-past four the horses left the sta, ting-poet,
two of Frodsham's chronometers, locked in their boxes,
having been adjusted for the purpose of keeping time,
whereon considerable sums depended. Tinker got first
well into stride, and obtained a lead, which he increased
to about 50 yards by the end of the first mile, Juke),
waiting till they came to the hill, where he drew up to
him. Tinker went at a rattling pace to the second
mile, when Jackey slightly drew upon him ; in the fol-
lowing half mile, they were side by side. Immense ap-
plause accompanied this sharp trial for the lead ; the
struggle ended by Jackey gradually " forging a-head,"
while the " ould horse" broke twice, and threw his
chance all but out, He went in to the third mile, and
was pulled up. Bartley had now " Old Time only

long enough. Heavy bets were dependent, at evens, on

of Jackey declared his intention of declining all match-
making with his animal henceforward.

PEDESTRIANISM AT MANCHESTER.
THE MATCH TO WALE 21 MILES IN THREE HOURS.
—This arduous undertaking, as most of our readers
know, had its origin in a bet of 100/. between two Man-

dred," conditioned that be would find a man, within a

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES. Tali CHNTItAL
GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY.—Yesterday, on the 7-assem-
bling of the Committee (Mr. Cardwell in the chair) Mr. D.
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-
vided six per cent, on their operations, extending over eighty
miles of main. There was not room in the Commercial Com-
pany's district for another competing company, which
would interfere with more than half its present rental ; and
if gas were supplied to Bow, Poplar, and Limehouse at 45.,
the company doing E 0 would lose money by it. A reduc-
tion in the price of gas to 4s. in the City and 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.
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway—Yesterday the Commit_
tee passed the preamble of this company's Bill, with modifi-
cations as to rates and tolls. Liverpool, Crosby, and South-
port Railway—The preantblesof this company's Bills for sale
or lease to the Lancashire and Yorkshire, reduction of tolls,
and other objects, were declared proved.
