LATEST MANCHESTER BETTING

MANCHESTER—FraDAY EVENING.

The money laid out in one hand yesterday against
the premier denoted a " screw loose ;" he gradually
fell back to 10 to 1, laid in ponies. He, however,
rallied to 64 to 1. It was but for the night, es the
London letter placed him at 20 to 1, and reported
him " amiss." The consequence is, that his numerous
and sanguine friends look very blue, as he has been
largely backed upon the supposition of his being a
rattling favourite on the day. The London papers, it
will be seen, report him lame ; 8 to 1, to a rouleau or
more, was got on Florence early on, but our figure
was the closing offer ; 7 to 1 was taken upon Ralph,
and few disposed to lay that_ indeed, we heard half a
point less had been taken, Vulcan was in force ; 2O to
1, in ponies, was taken in a good quarter. Lord Orford's
Petulance colt would have been supported in two or three
quarters, but the price did not suit—at first 100 to 1 was
asked. The following appeared the closing prices against
the horses named, viz. :

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

• FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—There is a wonderful echo to sounds
asine. Sir Robert Peel said an asinine thing
once (on purpose, of course), and bark how bray-
ingly the sound is re-echoed by Sir John Tyrell.
At the Hinckford Agricultural and Conservative
Club, the Baronet thus gave utterance :
" I cannot conceive a more distressing scene than a
country, if it were the work Shop of the world, and if
it were intersected with` railroads from one end to the
other, looking out on a barren waste. I cannot be-
lieve we shall experience that state of things." •
No, jiff John !-r-noi; any one else neither ;
though-the ot4er,Yocat.:'•Baronet, Sir Robert
Peeli thouglat.fiti • deli,ver himself of the mi.
ginal of this desolate imagery, and to talk of " a
dull succession of manufacturing towns connected
by railways," and " cultivation receding from
the bill- top." To these fancy-strokes, artfully
adapted to hit the House between wind and water,
and excite cheering without too much reflec-
tion, Sir John Tyrell has added those touches
of direct absurdity which were wanting. A
country, the workshop of the world, intersected
with railroads, and that country a barren waste.
How exceedingly probable ! But we conceive
and excuse Sir John Tyrell's objections to rail-
roads intersecting a country. Many a sports-
man, as he rides to cover, entertains quite as
much aversion to them. And what does he care
for their utility to the purposes of the " work-
shop?" Sir John Tyrell congratulates his Hinek-
ford hearers on "the utter failure of the Anti-
Corn-Corn-law League."

"I believe a more thoroughly contemptible body
of persons, having recourse to measures which would
almost justify the Attorney-General in prosecuting
them for high treason, does not exist.—(Cheers.)
believe that their joining with the Chartists to procure
the late strike could be proved beyond a doubt."
Pray Sir John, if' this could be proved beyond
a doubt, why is it not proved? Are 'the party in
power, or those Chartists who have taken the pay
of that party, so fond of the Anti-Corn-law
League as to forbear from proving anything
against it, that the recent official inquiries had
afforded the means of proving? The man who
uses language of this sort, without proof is
simply a slanderer; and if haply he he an ass,
he has one excuse more for slander than Lord
AbsiTo
AgeNr.DARD.—We Dave
pain the violent and unjust attack t
tpea c perused
madese d withby great Lord
Londonderry on Lord :Ashley, in a letter which
has just issued from thepress,from his pen, the
Vista and tone of whicliit is hardly possible to
deprecate too severely.. We say this reluctantly,
because we are not insensible to the many ex-
cellent qualities of the Noble Marquis, and
feel assured that when the first effervescence
of his anger has evaporated he will regret, I
