BRTTING.ROOM TATTERSALL'S, Awns 31.
Although a considerable number of Subscribers were absent at
Egham Races, the betting yesterday was any thing but dull. Bel-
zoni resumed his former place in the odds, at 9 to 4, more than
which could not be got—any one would take sto 2. Bed!smite
receded a little, 8 to 1 being laid at the opeting ; the closing odd',
however, were 7e to 1. Twenty pounds to one was taken that hr
did not start. Crusader, Mulatto, The Dragon, and Paul Pry; kept
so close together, till towards the evening, that it will be difficult
to say which had the call—at last the Dragon was taken for chuicr
in several bets between him and Mulatto, while Paul Pry and
Crusader kept together at half a point behind them. Lord Scar-
borough's colt Tarrare was made a good favourite, 20 and 18 to
being taken, and 17 to 1 being the closing price. Some heavy
betting took place between horses.

The Dead Heat.—At starting they came off together at a fine
pace; they kept so every inch of ground, and finished a beautiful
race with a dead heat.
After the above heat, the owner of F..dith did not wish to makes
fresh match (all bets being off by the dead heat), hut James Rams-
bottom, Esq. (who is one of the most liberal, and at the same time
the most useful supporter of Egham Races) offered 101. for the use
of her, which being accepted, the match was run over again between
the heats of the Plate.

24 Heat-3 tot on Whipcord. Agnes tame off at a moderate
rate, and kept the front to the turn, when the other three came up.
The race then became beautiful, and it seemed to be anybody's till
they made the distance, when Bucksfoot and Agnes Lilting off, the
rest of the ground was admirably run, Dahlia winning by half a •
neck only.
3d Heat—Even betting between Whipcord and Dahlia.
They went off at a walk. Agnes and Bucksfoot abreast, Whip-
cord mit, and Dahlia last, as it the kitties had orders not to lead;
this created much surprise, as it seldom happens that horses walk
in a race, nor is it within our recollection when four horses walked
above a mile and a half out of two miles and a half, which was the
case here; at last they came off, Agnes taking it lead, and keeping
it home, winning the heat by a length.
Li:cling-5 to 4 an Whipcord, and 10 to 1 agst Agnes.
Bucksfoot was drawn after the last heat. according to the rules of
racing, three horses having won three distinct beats.
4th Heat—This heat was as hnely contested as either of the
others, there being scarcely any choice till they got to the besting.
stand, when Dahlia, who was then head and head with Whipcord,
got a slight lead, and won the Plate by a length.

TILE RING.
Awc REID AND Manor Sitasri.—The whole of the money fee
this fight was made good last night, in the presence of as large an
assemblage of the Fancy as we have witnessed on any former occa-
sion. The friends of both men were strong at the strata', and. to
use a technical phrase, were " well breeched." The blame being
posted, betting opened freely at Sto4 on Reid. These odds were
greedily accepted, and some hundreds wete laid. It will take place
within five-and-twenty miles of London, •n Tuesday next.

PARIS, Auo. 30.—Rs Excellency the Pt irce de
Pociosac set out to-day fur London, with Mr. LATALrres, kb pri-
vate Secretary.

Large boxes of game for the KING, the Duke or
YORK, and other distinguished personages, have been forwarded
from Sheffield last week, being presents from some of the Noble
individuals now shooting over the moors in the neighbourhood of
that place.
Monday last, Richard Manson was convicted at Sut-
ton CoLltield, before J. F. S. Fanxims, Esq. under the
new Act of Parliament, for robbing a pear tree in the
garden of Miss Itilands. The Magistrate explained to
the pi isoner, that by an Act of Parliament which
passeJ last ye ir, the offence had been made a felony ;
but by an Act of Parliament which passed in May last
(commonly called Mr. Peel's Act), the severity of the
law had been mitigated again, and it was no longer a
felony, but was still punishable by imprisonment in the
House of Correction, for any time not exceeding six
calendar months, with or without hard labour, or • ith
a forfeit of treble the value of the articles stolen; and if
the Justice should think fit, with a further sum not ex-
ceeding 201. In the present case, as the offence was"
committed on a Sunday morning, and as the offence
had been very prevalent in the neighbourhood. the Ma.
gistrate convicted the offender in treble the value of the
fruit stolen, and in the further sum of 40s. And as it
appeared in evidence that the n ffender had been drink-
ing at a public house between twelve and one o'clock on
the Sunday morning, the Magistrate announced, that
those publicans who kept their house open for tippling
after twelve o'clock on a Saturday night, must not ex.
pect a renewal of their licenses. •
