THE SUM OF LORD JOHN'S SPEECH ON THE
AUSTRIAN TREATY.
(See Debate of Tuesday Night.)
• (FROM TUE PRESS.)
" Now, this I advance,
Yon may see at a glance,
That though England and France
In a different zone,
Have no reason to fear,
Yet Vienna so near
Would look very queer
If the Russians

came c

" Yet for many a day,
Though so deep in the play,
Would not Austria say
To whose aid she would come.
But I'm glad that at last
Her dead silence has passed,
And her stake in she'll cast
With—l don't quite know whom.

" The treaty we planned,
That I hold in my hand,
Which, if I understand—
And I don't say I do—
Will bind her thus far,
That, should she go to war,
She'll fight us or the Czar,
But she won't fight the two

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—Faxney

The betting here has been extremely dull since Tuesday.
On Wednesday there was no abatement in the disposition
to back The Reiver for the Chester Cup at 50 to 1; and
Rifleman at 100 to 6 for the Derby. Offers of 9to 1 agst
Graeculus Esuriens met with no response. On Thursday
we did not see a bet laid; and the only bet that was laid
to-day was £6O to £5 agst St. Hubert for the Derby,
about whom 5 to 1 was taken on Wednesday for the Two
Thousand Guineas Stakes.

CHESTER CUP.
500 to 8 agst Clementina colt—taken.
1000 to 10 Lady Tatton—taken.

The Port Stakes will in future close on the 16th January..
The whole of Mr. T. Parr's racing stud is on sale.
The winnings of the celebrated mare Virago, during
this year, amount to £10,070 in stakes.
. _

M. Howard's horses have this year won in stakest.
£17,594 ; Lord Derby's, £14,151; and Mr. Gully's, £10,594.
Mr. John Scott has purchased a filly by Touchstone oat
of Dervish's dam for £llO, and a colt by Touchstone out
of Sacrifice for £lOO. _ .

The Doncaster St. Leger will in future close in July,
at the same times as the Derby and Oaks, and not in
January as heretofore.

Mr. I. J. Henderson's horses are now trained by Wnr.
Oates, at Middleham, and consist of Ernest Atherley,
Heir of Lynn, King Duff, St. Arnaud, Gathercole, Mis*
Branch, and Byrsa.

The Most snicessful jockeys during the past seaso Jae
been W. Wells, who rode 82 winners ; , 79
E. Flatman, 76 ; T. Ashman, 43 ; J. Kendall, 4,, , ,am•
Rogers, 40 ; T. Cliff, 39 ; A. Day, 34 ; W. Carroll

• Samuel

G. Clement, 21; G. Fordham, 21 ; and S. Templeman, 201.
The value of the races won by the produce of Orlando,
during the past racing season, amounted to £16,800; the
produce of Melbourne, to £14,810; of Touchstone, to
£13,956; of Bay Middleton, to £12,925 ; of Pyrrhus the
First, to £11,115; and of Birdcatcher, to £10,920.
All sorts of rumours are afloat as to the " whereabouts"
of The Reiver, the most prevalent being that he has been
purchased by the owner of Scherz and taken to Prussia;
but there are good grounds for supposing that when the
time arrives for his appearing on the Roodee he will not
have far to travel.
