BETTIN6-7 to 4 apt the Cardinal-7 to 4 agat Redstart,_
This is the only race of the day that could possibly influence ill,.
betting on the Great St. Ledger. Redstart has for a considerabl,
thin been a good favourite for that Stakes, while Cardinal, althougl.
in the possession of Mr. Watts's trainer, and a very respectabl,
public runner, has scarcely been named in the betting; the odds,
however, on starting for this race, evinced a more correct estimate
of his merits. The Cardinal made strong running throughout.
Canker being second at starting, Mimic third, and the other tau
abreast; about three parts of a mile from borne Canker made an at.
tempt to get up, but it was a miserable failure, and Conolly very
wisely cut it altogether; Mimic and Redstart then tried it on, and
it really was a beautiful race between them for second, however fu-
tile their endeavours to collar the Cardinal, who won very easily by
two lengths.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

THE DANGER OF HYDROPHOPM—Yesterday Mr. Thorns,.
the superintendent of police, came before Mr. MINIMUM.. and
stated that he felt it his duty to apply to his Worship on a hubjeet
which he conceived to be of vast importance to the public at this
season of the year, and especially in the present state of the weather.
Many melancholy GAM of hydrophobia had recently occurred, the
details of which were really horrifying, and unless some effectual
precautions were immediately adopted, there was great reason t,
apprehend the frequent recurrence of attacks of the dreadful malady.
He (Mr. Thomas) had, within the last few days, seen a great number
of dogs ranging the streets, most of which had their tongues iollir
out of their mouths, and every symptom of approaching madness.
and yet he believed he had not the power to destroy them, or even
to canoe them to be secured, unless the disease was beyond all
doubt actually upon them. He might be wrong on the subject, and
was most anxious to have the ditections of the Magistrates, which
he would take este should be most rigidly obeyed by all the men h•
his division.

Mr. Merrertuta. said he thought the application a very proper
one, and he should be happy to every assistance in his power
to cheek the evil pointed out by Mr. 'Thomas. The power of the
magistrates, however, was quite undefined on the subject, and he
hardly knew what directions to /ire, but at all events he would co-..
cult with Sir. R. &aura and Mr. HALLS.

Mr. Thomas said the matter was one of pressing emergency, for
in the present state of things every man's life was absolutely in
danirat he walked along the streets.
ltlistsent.t.—Yes, and a man's happiness, if not his life,
was at stake • foe the misery arising from the constant apprehension
of hydrophobia, which must follow the bite of a dog, eron if
there were no proof that the dog was mad, must be dreadful. I
shall consult my brother magistrates, and give you an answer 6is
evening, Mr. Thomas.
Len evening Mr. Thomas again appeared before Mr.Mixatit.l.l.
and the worthy magistrate said that he and his colleagues
bad come a determination to cause printed notices to be widely die.
tributed, warning the owners of dogs not to suffer them to be abroad
except under proper restraint, and if that notice was not attended to.
ell dogs found in the streets would be instantly destroyed.
Mr. Thelma thanked the Magistrate for his attention.
Mr. MINSHULL took occasion to mention, that he himself caul
a very narrow escape from being bitten by two dogs, which he firmly
believed to be mad, on Monday afternoon. He was on his way home
when he was met by a dog evidently in a rabid state, pursued by a
crowd of persons. The dog made directly towards hint, but he IVAI
fortunate enough, with the exercise of some little agility, to avo:1
the furious animal. On the same day he met another dog which ap-
peared to be in the same state, and which snapped at him, ant
several other persons.
