THE DERBY.

There is so little doing that quotations are needless. Cesar
stands at 6to 1, sans takers. Sleight-of-Hand has continued
to be backed freely at 20 to 1, as noticed ; offers to take 7 to
2 Casar or Dragsman win. Af.ther has been in force at 30
to 1. Camellino at 100 to 3.

TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY.
The attendance was scarcely less numerous than on Mon-
day, but business was not by any means so brisk. The most
interesting feature in the betting was the retrogression of the
Dey of Algiers, who retired to 12 to I , without a friend : the
inference drawn is, that he is not quite " correct." Amongst
the other favourites, the changes were not very important ;
it is to be noticed, howeve6, that although Caesar retains the
position assigned to him on Monday, Dragsman treads on
his heels, 7 to 1 having been taken several times. The
Corsair was at 7 to 1, offers ; we did not observe that any
thing was done. Euclid was in better odour, 13 to 1 was
taken, and an offer made to take 15 to 1 in thousands twice
over. Sleight-of-Hand wag backed freely at 18 to 1 ; while
Valaincourt, who was at 17 to 1, on Monday, declined to 25
to 1, without backers. King of Kelton had several friends
at half the odds laid on Monday. Camellino was also in
demand at the old price. The only bet we heard on the
Oaks was a small one of 12 to 1 against Sir G. Heathcote's
Le Belezza.

that Chilson now belongs to it.

YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The opening
of this railway from York to the Junction of the Leeds and
Selby line is fixed for the 29th of May. The necessary works
for the coal depots, &c., are in rapid progress, and the ele-
gant archway under the city walls will soon be finished.

MIDDLETON.—On Monday evening, the musicians of the
Middleton Church Band, who had played on Saturday even-
ing for the chartists, were required to meet at the Free Gram-
mar School, whert they were called upon to give up their in-
struments, which they did, and had the money returned
which they had paid towards the purchase of them. We un-
derstand they were teachers of the Church Sunday School,
and it is reported that they are also to be dismissed from the
_ school,—Afancheeter Quardion.
