The departure of several of the regular attendants for
Chester had a prejudicial effect on the betting; which, never-
theless, gave rise to some important changes. The most
striking was in Kent's lot, Red Deer, on a small outlay
having risen 5 to 1, but not until 3 to 1 had been laid agst
the lot, and 100 to 80 on Bramble agst him ; 7 to 1 was the
final laying odds agst the latter. Nutwith sprang to 15 to 1,
and Rowland to 20 to 1, both taken. Plenty of layers agst
Pharaoh, and Roscius. Cattonite's prices did not transpire.

1500 to 20 agst Imaum and Assay (taken). In returning,
Ratan at 5 to 2,- and the Ugly Buck at 4 to 1, we name
the outside market prices ; they were only to be rektained of
parties who were fortunate enough to get their monexpn
some time back. The bets that came-under our personal
observation were 250 to 100 agst Ratan, 9 to 2 to 300/., .and
4 to 1 to about the same sum agst the Ugly Buck.-1,200 to
100 was betted agst Leander, and several parties willing to
accommodate the takers upon the same terms.—Campanero
was backed for a small sum at 18 and 20 to 1 ; Orlando at
20 and 25 to 1 ; and Bay Momus for about 1001. at 25 to P.
OAKS.
Several inquiries were made about Barricade, Sister to
Martingale, and Crenoline, but no business done ; the last
Newmarket prices would have been taken about the first
two, and 20 to lor less about Crenoline. Mr. Gratwicke's
Margravine filly met with an accident a few days ago, and is
declared not to run.

offering have found ready buyers at rather higher prices.

WILSON'S • SCOTTISH • ENTERTAINMENTS.-Last
night, at the Music Hall, Store-street, Mr. Wilson gave his
favourite entertainment of " Anither Night wi' Burns,"
when he sang a number of the poet's most admired songs
with his accustomed success. The songs of " Mary Morison,"
" Poortith Cauld," and " Wilt thou be my Dearie " all
charming strains, wedded to exquisite old airs, were delight-
fully given; while the humorous ditties of " Sherramuir"
and "My spouse Nancy" produced mirth unbounded. Mr.
Wilson announced that next Monday he would give a new
entertainment, entitled "Jacobite Relics," and sing a number
of the most popular songs of 'l5 and '45. This is a fine field
for Wilson, and he will doubtless add another wreath to his
brow by his resuscitation of some of those delightful and in-
teresting songs which worked so powerfully on the feelings of
the people during the times alluded to. We hope he will
give us " Lewie Gordon," "The Blackbird," and some of the
plaintive ones, as well as those rousing ones he knows so
well how to give. He himself is a good judge, however, of
what will please the public, and the selection will no doubt
be an excellent one. We see that Mr. Wilson. resumes his
morning entertainments in the Dwyer-square Rooms to-
morrow,: when of course he will be greeted. by a brilliant
assemblage of fashionables.
