BETTING AT MANCHESTER.

Although 'we have arrived within'a few days of the Great St.
Leger being decided, still there is no change to notice in either
of the two first favourites for this interesting race. Indeed, it
does not appear probable that anything short of an accident or
a material alteration in the weather can affect either of them up
to the time of starting. Of the two we think the Queen appears
to have the call in this.town, although the reverse is the case in
London. The most flattering accounts continue to be received
of her excellent condition and capability of winning the race ;
Uwe, combined with'her previous performance certainly jus-
tify the inost confident 'expectations. Mundii,t repotted"
to be all right, and should the course be wet and heavy, his
chance will be considerably improved, as he is a most powerful
horse. Ascot and Preserve have each gained ground since our
last, which may be attributed to the friends of Mundig and the
Queen being almost full upon each. • Hornsea and Jupiter con-
tinue upon a par with sonic amendment; as also are Turban
and Ainderby, who finds friends at the odds quoted. Verbena
is declared not to start. Qf the others but little can be said, as
they are scarcely noticed. The cup betting remains at about
last week's prices : • . .

About twelve years since a cottager residing on Coniugsby
Moor, named Anthony Cox, had a son who enlisted, and went
to the Indies, and not having received a letter from him fur
several years, it was thought he was dead. About four years
since a man was in Spilsby gaol, and was challenged with being
Abraham Cox; but although he denied it, both the man and his
wife claimed him as theft son, took him home, and clothed him.
From that time he lived with them as their son, and has got mar-
ried. About a month since, however, the real Abraham Cox
came home, upon which the adopted son took himself off, lead-
ing a wife and family (who have no idea whence he came or
what are his connexions), and has not since been heard of.

SIGNIFJCAN T.—The following consecutive paragraphs appear.
in the Post of Thursday:—" .A courier arrived at Ashburnham
House on Monday night with important despatches from St.
Petersburgh."—'• The ussian ambassador had a long inter-
view with the Duke of Wellington on Tuesday morning at Ape-
ley House." Where was Palmerston? It is something signi-
ficant to find Pozzo di Borgo holding conference with the Duke
before he visits Pat, with all "the ceremony of courtesy," al,
O'Connell phrases it.

MAREITE D.—Onlhe Bth instant, at • St: James's 'church, Mr.
Henry Woolright to Mary, daughter of Joseph Toogood, Esq.
Before the altar Mary stood, •
-For anxious Harry's wife too-good !
Yet he'll deserve her, for. 'tie plain
She ne'er will be too-good again!

Women, brought up in ignorance of comfort, of course, are
careless about the means of providing for it. They are heedless
how they marry, and when married, never think of the duties
:of their situation. I recollect a young woman, the wife of a
labourer in the country, once applying to me respecting some
alleged harsh treatment on the part of a shopkeeper, to whom
she owed money. On itivestigating the case, I found that she
regularly spent three shillings,a week in sweet things, and that
she held herself entitled to pass the first year after her marriage
in-complete idleness; a privilege, I discovered, by no means sel-
dom claimed. Of course the habits of the first year would be-
come, in a great measure, the habits of after life, and the indul-
gence in-sweet things would most likely be transferred in time
to things less harmless.—The Original.
THE IstiNFroN MARKET BILL—The passing of the Isling-
ton Market Bill through parliament has not caused the sensa
tion, which was expected, from the resolute manner in which i
was opposed upon the part of the City. By the dexterous tnan
agement of
,the City Solicitor and Ald. Wood, a clause very
much in favour of the City interests was introduced into the
bill in (he committee of the House of Lords. This clause makes
it compulsory upon the proprietors of Islington Market to in-
demnify the. City of, London for any deficiency in the average
receipts ; so t hat if the profits of Smithfield Market do not ex-
ceed £3OOO in one year, the sum of £lOOO must be furnished by
the Islington Market proprietors, in order to recompense the
City for the injury. It is supposed that this regulalion will damp
the speculation of the new market.

Swiss JusTicE.--When the ex-King of Sweden visited Bask
some years ago, his finances were, as it is well known, at a very
low ebb. A shoemaker to whom he had sent a pair of boots to
be mended, having charged his. majesty three times as much as
the job was worth, Gustavus refused to pay the money. The
son of Crispin sued him and was beat: he then appealed to a
higher tribunal, which not only gave the cause against him, but
condemned him to an amends of a day's wages, and reduced the
charge to the ordinary price for soling a pair of boots. The
king was highly delighted, and wrote to the judges expressing
satisfaction, sending them at the same time the bouts, and en-
treating that they might be suspended over the tribunal in testi-
mony of the justice of the laws of the republic. We know not
whether the royal Oquest Was complied with; but the anecdote
is given by Pryse,c4nrdon, on the authority Of the Swedish ini•
nister.
