The American HOrses in England.

We announced the winning of a second race
in England by an American horse, Mr. Ten
Broeck's Belle having won the Bedford stakes
at New Market, on the 14th INST. In regard
to the Cesarewitch triumph and the future op-
erations of American horses on the English
turf, we copy the following paragraphs from
Porter's Spirit of the Times:
There now but two events in which or.bo
es are to figure, before the English racine season
coses; and those are, the Cambridgesbira Handican
to be run at Newmarket on the 9th Oct, Tues
DAY iast) and the Autumn Cup Handicap to be run
at Liverpool on the 10th Of November Tn both
OF these races Pryor and lis associate were enter
ed; but he having been Withdrawn. through def.
cheney OF condition, Prioress and Babylon must
contend Tor them together. Both are favOrabIy
weighed, and for the first time the mare no stands
the hrst in public favor. We look, therefore, for
the contest of the 27th with the deepest interest;
and should Prioress or Babylon carry off the prize
or capture the Autumn Cup, at the Liverpool
meeting the exploit would be equal to any triumph
that ever graced an English racing year.
The victory in Cesarewitch, however, carries us
through our campaign with honor; and repOsing
upon that, will endeavOr to present ourselves
during the coming year, in such numbers and con-
dtiOn as will insure us the respect which we failed
to command through most of this
As every body Is very anxious to know whether
nings in the Cesarewtch, for the expenses and los
OF his spirited enterprise we will state that we
have reliable information that he bet very largely
on the result and that he not only reimbursed him
self Tor all his OUTLAWS and mishaps but is largely
IN excess. Without any special Information on the
subject, however, all who knew Mr.. Ten Broeok
would be sure of this result He had ost the Who'll,
season through, and the Newmarket meeting af-
forded him bis last and only chance for the season
to get even. The Withdrawal of Prior, also made
1t still more necessary that lie should not let slip
the only opportunity within his reach to redeem
his unfortunate campaign. Under such circum-
stances, man with no more pluck than rabbit
would feel bound to bet with spirit while game
man like Mr.. Ten Brock, would be sure to go q
good length. The weights suited him; the mare
was in fne condition; and ell we have to add is,
that 1t be laid out bare 900 pounds at the odds
he stands winner to the tune of haIfa million of dol
lars. Although great many have been lauginl.
at him here, he is now laughing at them, in the
right time.
As there is much anxiety 4foat as to whether
Mr.. T. b. won one side of his great 500, 600 bet,
by the victory of Prioress on the 3th of Oct W.
viii state that be lost it. by the withdrawal of Pry
or from that race. The bet was made with Mr.. T
b. by Mr.. Davies, commonly known as the Levi
athan, from his immense wagers, and was to th
effect, to-wit: Mr.. Davies bet Mr. Ten Brock $lOO
600 against 500 that Pryor would not win the
Cesarewitch stakes, and PriorCss the Cambridge
shire; and the same bet over again that Pryor did
not win the first and Babylon the second Thi,
virtually was but one bet; and as the CesareWitcl
depended in both cases upon Pryor, it becamf
really bet of $lO0,0 to 5000. Pryor not hav-
ing run, the result s, that NJ. Ten Brock has been
called upon to pay hr. Davis 5000.
