TATTE RSALL'S—YESTERDAY.

Our anticipations that the meeting of Parliament
would have some influence on the attendance here,
was fully borne out by the increased numbers pre-
senk, And the con equent improvement in busi-
ness .; on . the various events now in the mar-
ket. The. variations in the odds against the two
Derby favourites were of little moment, but in quoting
Chatham at-11 to 1, we ought to, state that 1,200 to 100
was laid agst him and Canadian jointly, and 1,000 to
100 agst him and Ballinkeele, and that no one would
back him singly under 13 to 1. Robert de Gorham de-
clined several points, and the Lord of Holderness as-
sumed a position which, without much risk, might have
been assigned him some weeks since. The Artful Dodger
was backed to win fourteen or fifteen thousand pounds at
50 to 1, and Dr. Allen at least sixteen thousand pounds
at 100 to 1, but without any visible effect on the betting.
Lasso, Defier, Barrier, and the Dirce colt, were in some
force ; not so Auckland, Meteor, or the Joanna colt ;
indeed, with the exception of those previously mentioned,
very few were touched upon. The Oaks and Chester Cup
betting was in small amounts, and without any feature of
sufficient importance to dilate upon. Closing prices :

THE LATE DUKE OF CLEVELAND.—The
demise of this nobleman, so many years ardently attached to the
.ports of the turt, occasions not only a vacancy in the office of
Steward of Doncaster races this year, but renders null and void
all the nominations which appear in the name of the late Noble
Duke. The Hon. Col. Anson is named as likely to be the new
steward of the great meeting in the north.
On Saturday an inquest was held by Nr.carttar,
at the Spanish Galleon, public-house, Church-street, Green-
wich, on the body of a handsome young female, named Miss
Emma Couldery, aged twenty, who committed self-destruction.
The Jury returned a uerclict of Insanity.
TIIE SHEFFIELD AND GIIIMBSBY R AIL-
WAY.-A correspondent informs us that it is in contemplation
to make a railway from Grimsby to Sheffield, to communicate
with the Manchester and Sheffield Railway ; this will shorten
the route from Liverpool to Grimsby upwards of 30 miles.—
