London to watch the conduct of the prisoner, who bad been ar-
rested in January for debt—lodged a detainer against him for £2OO

down with the pistol and ran away. Witness saw him in custody
three minutes after, and was confident of his identity.

The settling for the Houghton Meeting was heavy, and occu-
pied the better part of the afternoon. The betting vim almost ex-
clusively on the Derby, the odds being taken about Mummer,
Brunswicker, and Wat Tyler pretty freely. Cetus was quoted at
15 to 1, but his friends were shy; so were the backers of Sal,
Cressida, Mahnsoud, and the Major; the betters of the odds form-
ing a great majority of the subscsibers present. Bud is likely to
rise for the St. Leger, the odds (9 to 1) having been taken by oar
of :he leading betters ; nothing else was done on this stakes except
an offer to take 50 to I about Mummer. The following were the
