In our report, forwarded from the heath, we gave the Derby
and Oaks betting, previous to the races ; in the first there was
nothing new beyond a considerable improvement in Auckland,
but the latter presented a complete revolution, and Syren and
a mare that has been for some weeks on the shelf, having
changed places. The races had little effect on the odds for
either stake, but it was obvious that the Frederica colt was
not so much in demand as on Monday, and that Auckland,
Elenus, the Lord of Holderness, and Lord G. Bentinck's lot
were in force. The closing prices will shdw the extent of
these arrangements :

LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.
Notwithstanding the Newmarket meeting, there was a pretty
good muster this forenoon ; but nothing of importance was said
upon the events of the week.
THE 2,000 GUINEAS STASES.—The only offers we heard
were-7 to 4on the field, and 4to 1 against Meteor—taken.
Timoleon was not named.
THE CHESTED. CUP.—Several horses were not to our ear
named ; and, if so, nothing was done upon them to an extent
worthy of,remark. Lanercost appeared to be decidedly the
premier.

The field against five (offered) ; 2 to 1 agst any three
(offered); Lanercost all " the go." It may be as well to state,
that Rhodanthe was backed for about WI. at 2.5 to 1 ; but 300
to 10, and afterwards 150 tos, were laid by the same influential
party. Lanercost became so much in vogue, that, before the
room broke up, it was even betting that he beats " Scott's lot."
THE DERBY. ---We must refer our readers to the latest its;
telligence from the " grand scene "—Newmarket. No one bid
7 to 1 agst Attila, ner 25 to 1 agst Frederica colt, in force, nor
25 to 1 apt Johanna colt; 1,000 to 20 did cause the pencil to
go down an favour of Acacia ; 17 to 1 in ponies and tens, was
pretty freely laid agst Auckland.
TH E OAKS.—A few vapid offers, requiring no remark, be-
yond 9 to 1 agst Passion ; 12 to 1 eget Lord Jersey's filly.

lIBARTLESS ROBBLIRY OF THB POOR.—A trial
occurred at the conclusion of the Central Criminal Court Ses-
sion just terminated, the result of which gave very great satis-
faction. The case was briefly as follows :—A poor widow,
named Stenson, who received from Mr. Lott, the Common
Councilman, some City kitchen tickets for coals and potatoes,
prosecuted a man, named John Ryan, for robbing her of the
tickets, and also of her money which she handed to hist as
rayment for his promised services in carrying to her apartment
the food and fuel from the benevolent institution. rho pri-
soner had laughed at the prosecutrix upon being expostulated
with, and upon inquiry it wasfound that he had treated another
poor woman in a similar manner, and Mr. Lott caused him to
be apprehended. When the prisoner was brought before the
Lord Mayor and Alderman Wilson, who are also members of
this charitable institution, he was committed for trial, and the
widow was re-imbursed the money she was robbed of. The
prisoner was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for six
months, the Judge and Jury having animadverted in strong
plaoongrnag
women have, it appeared, been plundered Ryon the heartless eharacter of the offence. Several
by fellows who
lurk about the City Kitchen for jobs and the Lord Mayor has
intimated that-he will orer d prosecutions in all cases of the
kind'established before him.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, April la.

The SPEAICER took the Chair at the usual hour.

An HoN. MEMBER stated that he had received a,
note from the lion. Member for Dorsetshire, (Mr. G.
Bankes,) stating that he had unfortunately been con-
fined to his bed by severe indisposition, and that the
medical gentleman who had attended ilm was ready
to give evidence to that effect, at the Bar of the House.
Mr. Jackson was then called to the bar of the
House, and stated that he had lattended Mr. Bankes
professionally, and had found him labouring under a
bilious attack, accompanied with fever. In his
opinion he was unable to attend to his duties at the
House yesterday, and would be so for four or five
days to come. •
Lord G. SOMERSET then moved that Mr. G.
Bankes be discharged from the custody of the
Sergeant-at-Arms without payment of the usual fees.
Sir G. GREY thought the Hon. Member should
have communicated the fact to the House. Great care
he thought should be taken to prevent inconvenience
from such causes.

Mr. BERNARD thought that Members who were
too unwell to attend ought to pay the fees.
Mr. W. PATTEN was quite willing that Mr.
Bankes should be excused after the statement which
had been made ; but very serious notice should be
taken of any absence on slight pretence.
Lord G. SOMERSET said he believed he could
state that it had been the intention of Mr. Bankes to
attend yesterday, and he was only prevented by se-
rious indisposition.
Mr. LABOUCHERE could see no reason why
Mr. Bankes shou1:1 not be discharged under the cir-
cumstances; but he thought it was highly desirable to
prevent lion. Members from availing themselves of
frivolous excuses.

The motion was then agreed to.
SECOND READINGS.

The Sudbury Improvement Bill was read a second
time. The Great North of England (Clarence and
Hartlepool) Junction Railway Bill (No. 1) was read
second time.
