SP OBTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY,

Considering that the two great events at Newmarket
are so near at hand, namely, the Cesarewitch and Cam-
bridgeshire Stakes, speculation at present is very languid!,
and nearly void of interest. For the Cesarewitch, Musco-
vite has been backed for a large amount at 7 to 1, the
highest offer against him at the close being only 6to 1;
100 to 7 was taken rather freely about Calams, and S(XI
to 16 was laid once against Eulogist ; Ammonia and Poo-
dle quite friendless. For the Cambridgeshire, Orinoco,
Early Bird, and Alembic were in general deman4, mut
were the only horses backed for any amount. For the
Derby, the only changes are in Bonnie Morn, Rifleman,
Dirk Hatteraick, and Wild Dayrell, consequent on the
running at Newmarket. For the Chester Handicap, Kid-
napper would have been backed for a sum, at 6 or 7 to 2,
but there were no layers. Latest prices :

Chester AutUmn Meeting takes place this day and to-
morrow, and from the numerous entries to the various
stakes, good sport may be anticipated.
F. Bell, Esq., is forming a racecourse at Thirsk,York-
shire, and building a new stand, so that a first-rate meet-
ing is likely to be held in the ensuing spring.

West Australian having taken leave of the turf, is an-
nounced to cover, next season, thirty mares, by subscrip-
tion, besides ten of his owner's, at 50 guineas each.

A case has been submitted to the Board of Inland Re—
venue as to whether horses running in steeplechases are
liable to the racehorse duty, and the Board has decided
that they are not liable to such duty.

The celebrated Irish stallion Freney has been destroyed,
in consequence of old age and infirmity. He was foaled
in 1830, and was the sire of Wolfdog, Fireaway, Shama-
vogue, and many other first-class horses.

TT OUGHT TO BE KNOWN that the Treat-
ment universally adopted by the Faculty in Great Britain,
in Cases of Deafness, is the result of a false theory, conceived
in lamentable ignorance of the Organs and Anatomy of the
Ear, and is in most cases calculated to accelerate and confirm
the malady it is intended to remove. On. HAHN, late Sur-
geon, Aurist, and Physician in ordinary to the Grand Duke
of Baden, feels it his duty to announce to persons suffering
from Deafness. however long standing, and without regard to
the age of the Patient, that he will guarantee their immediate
and permanent restoration to Hearing, without any surgical
or other painful operation. The most obstinate Cases, how-
ever long standing. cured in one mo!;th ! The majority in
less than a week ! Recent Cases instantaneously ! Atten-
dance daily at the Dispensary, Nottingham : fee one guinea,
payable on completion of the cure. Patients at a distance
may state their case by letter, enclosing one-third the fee
(75.), immediately on receipt of which the remedy. with full
instructions, will be forwarded, post free, to any address, the
remainder (145.) to be paid in one month after the cure is
completed. All communications, by post, addressed to CARL
HAHN, M.D., at the Dispensary, Nottingham, will receive
prompt attention.
