TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY.
ST. LEGER—The betting to-day was confined to a few
horses, but was not destitute of interest. lon and Don John
were at the previous week's quotations, and not much sought
after. Lanercost was backed by several parties, and was a
point or two better than before; Grey Momus was alto in
high force in influential quarters. The odds were likewise
taken rather freely about Appleton Lad, who rose a point or
two; the layers, however, were neither scarce nor shy. Cob-
ham, although backed for a trifle at 14 to 1, was obviously
out of favour: it was hinted that be is not up to the mark.
The other betting does not require observation. Closiug

reading, gave notice of its second reading to-morrow, and a
further notice for the suspension of the standing orders so as
to enable its, passing its remainder stages forthwith, in the
short space of five minutes ! The object of the hill is to amend
that clause in the imprisonment for debt bill, which enacts

GLOUCESTER MUSICAL Fasrim.—The stewards of the
approaching musical festival are taking every pains to render.
it the most attractive meeting ever witnessed in that eitv.
The very first talent in England, both vocal and instrumental.
has been engaged, with a power in the orchestra hitherto un-
precedented in that cathedral,—perhaps the best adapted to
music in the kingdom. A new plan has been devised for in-
creasing and improving the accommodation for refreshment
at the evening concerts, by flooring over the Crown Court to
a level with the galleries, and using it as a refreshment room;
thus avoiding the inconvenience experienced on former occa-
sions of going up and down stairs, and through cold passages
to the county and city grand jury rooms, which will, on this
occasion, be furnished with every convenience, as cloak and
and shawl rooms. The performance are to be extended to four
days, and the whole will conclude with a grand fancy and full
dress ball and supper, for. which Weippert's celebrated band
is
expressly engaged.
