STEEPLE CHACE AT MARKET HARBOROUGH. The long pending match between Mr. Ostialdeston's Pilot, and Captain Ross's Polecat, tm,k place to-day, Saturday. The terms of the match were to go four miles across the country. Captain Ross to ride 13 stone, 7 lbs., and Mr. Osbaldeston 12 stone ; in consideration of this difference of weight, Mr. Osbaldeston betted 5001. to 2001. Mr. Hungerford, who was umpire, named the Blue Covert as the starting.post,and the winning post was fixed near a farm house called the Hermitage. About eleven o'clock, every thing being in readiness, the horses were brought to the post apparently in the best possible condition, and their gallant owners were in the highest spirits. At the word off, they started at a terrific pace, Mr. Oshaldeston taking the lead, but closely followed by the Captain ; the run was admirably contested to the Lottand Brook; Pilot cleared it in fine style; the mare jumped into it, but was out in an instant. On ascending the hill to Lotland Wood, it was seen that the difference of weight was b2ginning to tell against the mare, as she lost about a hundred yards, but she rallied in an astonishing manner afro getting to the top of the hill. T* Captain made a desperate push dowil the hill, and gainer rapidly on Pilot, and it was again finely contested until the two last fields, which were very severe, being up bill all the way to the winning post ; and after a very admirable race Pilot won by about eighty yards. Both hors's cleared the numerous leaps in fine style, and the steady, determined manner of riding of both gentlemen was much and justly admired. There was an immense concourse of sportsmen present, who immediately after joined Mr. Osba'deston's crack park of hounds at Waterloo Gorse, and had a very good day's sport. M.

PonTsmou'ru, DEC. s.—The Galatea, 42 gun, Captain C. Napier, C. 13,, arrived yesterday from the Havannah, in twenty ,, nine days, bringing hone about 150,000 dollars on private accomr. The Galatea, since her departure from Spithead (twenty two weeks since), has traversed 15,000 miles, prin cipally in search of pirates, but without effect. She visited Madeira, Teneriffe, four .of the Cape Verd Islands; and after lauding Commissioner A !corigh and family at Jamaica, she proceeded to the Spanish Main for treasure, the great bulk of which, however, had previously been embarked in the IF.spierile, 18 guns, Commander Elliott, which ship, with half a million of dollars on board, may be expected home in about a week. The Galatea boarded several slave vessels, which, it is - clearly ascertained, are in the constant practice of committing acts of piracy, whenever they meet with strength inferior to their own. An American - ship, which the Galatea► boarded, bound from Buenos Ayres to the Cape (le retds, had been plundered, by a vessel full of slaves, of a number of valuables- and some provi sions ; and a Captain of a large slaver unblushingly told our officers, that if he at any time should fall in with a smaller slaver loaded, he should take his slaves from him, with whatever else answered his pur pose, and carry them to the Havannah. - This vessel was lying at ( ;ape Verds, waiting until a cargo of slaves should be collected for h►er in one of the African rivers near the Line, as she had been -to the coast arid left her orders to that effect. It was for tunate the Galatea was sent to the Spanish Main, otherwise not any British ship would have been in that quarter to protect our merchants' property, during the confusion consequent upon the Royalist Invasion. It appears that the expedition was wholly planned by General Barradas, who was sent out by Ferdinand, and who imagined that, in the present divided state of parties in the new Republics, the presence of an armed force would collect toge ther all theitoyalists and old Spaniards. Commo dore La Borde, however, and the Authorities of Cuba, were . - averse to the measure, believing that the invasion would concentrate the Republican energies—an apprehension which the result has proved to have been well grounded ; for no sooner did General Santa_ Anna hear of the landing of Bar radas at Tampico, than he issued his orders for all t troops to move in that direction. Santa Anna him self, with a large force, embarked in open boats, and gallantly endured a dangerous voyage. He succeeded in landing near Tampico, and in a very short time found himself at the head of 8,000 or 10,000 well armed men, of all colours, castes,and countries, With these he encircled the invaders. In a sortie by Bar radas, made in the quarter where Santa Anna was posted, the Mexicans were defeated, and Santa Anna was taken prisoner. Barradas, however, gave him up. Subsequently the Mexicans attacked a for tress called the Barof Tampico, in a most gallant man ner, and were seriously repulsed by the bravery of the Spaniards. The gallantry displayed on both sides was very great, but in a few hours afterwards Barradas was compelled to offer terms of capitulation, beimg in want of provisions, and having lost 1,200 of his men by dysentery and fever. When the Galatea left the coast, on the 12th October, the ma!it body of the. Spaniards still remained, waiting for trans ports from Cuba, which left the Havannah about the Ist of November, for the purpose of taking them on board. Many of the officers,--and small parties of,. the men, had got away in coasting craft and American vessels. Commodore La Borde landed this army from his squadron, which consists of two line-of-battle ships, two frigates, two brigs, and a schooner, in most excellent order ; but from the dangerous nature of the coast, he was compelled to return. Indeed his remaining there would only have endangered his ships, and his rendering supplies to Barradas would have been very problematical. Had this expedition gone to Vera Cr►►z, the Castle of Ulloa must have fallen immediately, as it did not contain one day's provisions, and the Mexican line of battle ship, the San Juan, was unprepared in the harbour. The Mexicans are divided into two parties, for neither of which has Santa Anna de clared himself; but it was expected he would be of fered the Presidentship. They have an army of 35,000 men, and a large force of desultory cavalry. Vera Cruz was very healthy. A ►magnificent enter tainment was given by the authorities to the suc cessful General, on his return to Vera Cruz (who has had the sash of a Lieutenant-General awarded to him), at which Captain Napier and his Officers were present. It comprised a sumptuous dinner of four courses ; after which the guests were ushered into a cool room, where a most splendid dessert was laid out. This was followed by coffee, champagne, and liqueurs, arid subsequently by a ball and supper. Speeches, compliments, and bumpers, were the order of the day, and the Mexicans, at the conclusion, were perfect adepts in the English mode of cheering after toasts. General Santa Anna, and a party of the principal Mexicans, dined on board the Galatea, arid were received with much ceremony. It was imagined at Jamaica that Barradas would have been successful in his efforts. Our officers testify that the Spanish" troops at Cuba were in the best state of discipline ; but complain that not any sort of courtesy or attention is shown to British Officers or British subjects. Several slave vessels were fitting out there. The Arachne sloop of war had been sickly, and had lost her First Lieutenant (Rivett), her Master (Mr. Retallick), and the Gunner. A French frigate had also lost between forty and fifty men, and was obliged to leave the coast. North I..ttitude. London General Post-office York Minster Newcastle-on-Tyne Edinburgh Itegi,ter-offiee M.lnehester Carlisle We have as yet no advices of the return of any of our line-of•battle ships from the Mediterranean; on the contrary, we are now informed that none will return to England for the present. The foreign prints have stated the Russian Admiral demanded of Sir Pulteney Malcolm the reason of his being reinforced by the Britannia, Gloucester, and Mel ville. This assertion was conceived to be incorrect. As such a question must be purely diplomatic, it is not probable that Count Ileyden would hare asked Sir Pulteney Malcolm for any explanation upon the subject. We understand, however, the Dartmouth frigate, and Pelican, Wolfe, and Cordelia sloops, are ordered to England. His Majesty's sloop Rapid, 10, Commander Swinburn, reached Plymouth, from this port, yes terday se'nnight, and having remained an hour or two in the Sound, she sailed again for the Medi tetranean. The Vigilant revenue cutter, Captain Gowland, captured on the Ist instant, otf the North Foreland, a smuggling lugger, belonging to Deal, with all her crew, and 140 tubs of spirits of brandy and gin. Notwithstanding the vigilance of the Coast Blockade on the Kent coast, the smugglers are active in evading it—a fact proved by the seizures that are continually made by the revenue cutters. Passed by, on Sunday, the Everthorpe, Thomas, for Jamaica. Arrived, on Monday, the Beaver, Franci3co, from New York, bound to Hamburg, be ing leaky, and with loss of sails, rigging, bulwarks, &ie.; she sailed this afternoon ; also the Lonach, Cotgrave, for Bombay, and sailed on Thursday for her destination.

STEEPLE 'CHACE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 5 —A Steeple Chace, which ex cited a great degree of interest in this neighbourhood, took place to-day, for a Sweepstakes of 25gs. each, between Lord Fineastle, Messrs. Bingham, Gum, and Law, of the 60th regiment, and Capta;n Delme Trod 'Mr. Radcliffe Delme. The ground fixed on was from Porchester to Corsham, and the time of starting named, two o'clock precisely, at which time the whole went away together at a slapping pace. Lord Fincastle, Messrs. Bingham, Gunn, and Law, taking the left, but immediately in the line of the turnpike road, gallantly charging - every ob stacle in their way. The Messrs. Delme took a more in direct road to the left, making the distance considerably longer, a disadvantage which greatly told against them. It was a good race between the other four, until they reached the road leading from Wymering to the Hill, when the whole were brought to a temporary check, the fence in and out being rather a puzzler.. - Mr. Gunn first accomplished it, and was gallantly followed by Mr. Bingham, between whom and Mr. Gunn:-an excellent contest ensued to the last fence next the . winning post, which Mr. Bingbam's horse refusing, the • race was cleverly won by Mr Gunn. A large concourse was present to witness the result, and a great number of car riages attended. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS FOR. THE PRESENT WEIS.

(From the Scotsman.) At present we mean to confine our attention to I one branch of this subject—the shortening of the routes by which the mails travel from Lon don to Scotland—in reference to which we have been furnished by ,a scientific friend with some valuable materials, not accessible to ordinary readers, and upon the accuracy of which perfect reliance may be placed. In all questions respecting a saving of length in roads it is extremely desirable to know the true spherical distance between their extremities, or the shortest possible line from the one point to the other, supposing the surface of the coun try to be as open and uniform as that of the sea. This is important, not only as shewing the ex treme limit to which improvement may continu ally approximate, but it is of much positive and practical value, as affording an infallible standard by which the advantages of any single route as to length may be estimated. If a road, for in stance, is marked out between Edinburgh and Ayr, the question whether a different line should be sought, may depend on the opinion formed, whether the distance lost by windings is two miles or six. How is this to be determined ? The best maps are indifferent guides in such matters, .and two surveyors, judging by the eye merely, might form opinions as wide asunder as those we have mentioned. It is only by means of accurate determinations of the positions ,of places, from geodesical and astronomical data, that we can - arrive at a satisfactory solution of such questions. Astronomical observations alone do not give rigorously accurate results, because in different countries the length of the degree is found to have different values, which are not re ducible to any fixed rule ; and it is upon this element that the conversion of the angular dis tances of the astronomer into ordinary measure depends. The first element in this calculation, is the latitude and longitude of the several places ; and to obtain these correctly, recourse has been had to the Trigonometrical Survey, except for Edin burgh and Glasgow, the geographical position of which has been derived from that of their Obser vatories. The table below may therefore be received as good authority, and every care has been taken to keep it free from errors of the press. Longitude West of Greenwich. Q 0 5 51 1 4 34 1 37 30 3 12 1 2 14 22 3 0 37 4 16 38 From these data the distance of the places from one another can be correctly calculated in degrees of a great circle, by the aid of Spherical Trigonometry. To reduce the degrees into English miles, we again have recourse to the Trigonometrical Survey, from which we find, that a degree of latitude in the middle of Eng land contains 60,823 fathoms, or is equal to 69,117 statute miles. Proceeding in this way we get materials for the following table, of which the Ist column gives the true spherical distance, or the shortest possible line between the places; the 2d column, the distance by the road, or that which the mail travels ; the 3d gives the detour, or the distance lost by the sinuosities of the road ; and the 4th expresses by a fraction the proportion which this loss bears to the whole. We may mention that the distance by the mail roads is taken from the British Almanac for 1830 ; and the calculations are made on the supposition that the earth is a sphere, the differ ence between the sphere and the spheroid being of no importance within such a limited space.

It hence appears, that the detour or windings of the road add one-fifth part, or sixty-seven miles, to its length, and that for every five miles of direct distance, the coach travels six, though the addition from this cause Deed not exceed 1-20th. From London to Carlisle, the detour by the road is also one-fifth (49i miles), and from London to Glasgow it is 60i miles, which is between one-fifth and one-sixth, or about two miles in 11 ! A long road, however, cannot be made entirely for the towns at its extremities. Other places 4,. ''t -: ' X WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.—Dec. 4.

The Toad between Edinburgh. and . Glasgow by Uphall, Westcraiss, and Airdrie, is one o f the straightest in Britain of such a lengh, the do four amounting only to. one 28th part at the. most; and, upon the, supposition that the ob ject was merely to connect two distant towns without regard to the intermediate placeg, there . is no doubt, that except in mountainous districts, the excess of the actual over the true spherical, distance, need not generally exceed - in propot l • tion. The other road by Mid-Calder, Shotts, and Holytown is only a quarter of a mile and a, few yards longer. On the best English mail roads, such as those from London to York and Newcastle, • the detour only amounts to 1-Bth, though various inflections are made for the ac commodation of particular towns. The most enormous detour, it will be-ob served,- occurs between Newcastle and Edinburgh, where the actual line exceeds the true distance, by no less than one-third, or 29i miles upon 911 ! Indeed the mere fact that Dunbar is about four miles farther north than Edinburgh, and almost exactly at the satne distance from London, shows the matchless absurdity of the present arrangement ! Had the problem been to find the most circuitous possible line between Newcastle and Edinburgh, any thing better than the actual route by the east coast could seaoely have been discovered. Even in hilly districts roads may often be so planned as to have very little detour ; witness the line from Carlisle to Glasgow, whore the exa cess is only 10-i miles upon 84k, or one , tiAlitlia Iu the.line from Carlisle to Edinburgh . the cess amounts to 17 miles upon 76, or nearly one-fourth ! No place in North Britain seems to have had its accommodation so little attended to in this respect as the capital. In direct distance Glasgow is 13i miles far. ther from London than Edinburgh. By the road the difference is only five miles. The detour. from London to Edinburgh is 67 miles ; upon the longer road from London to Glasgow t is only 60. s. mile _ _ _ In the London road to Carlisle the detour greatly exceeds what is necessary, amounting to one-fifth. It is from improvements on this part of the line that Glasgow must look fur the best means of accelerating its mails. It has been state — d, as an advantage of the road along the coast, that it is less encumbered by snow than the roads in the interior► The fact is, however, in all probability, directly the re , verse, when the roads in both cases pass through a hilly tract. The error arises from the cir cumstance generally observed, that mountains 10 the interior are earlier whitened with snow than those on the coast. This arises from their being less under the tempering influence of winds coming from the sea; but it is equally certain on the other hand, that in high tracts of country the atmospheric moisture, whether it falls in the shape of rain, dew, or snow, is most copiously deposited on the hills nearest the sea, and dimi nished continually in quantity as we advance for wards. If the lines of road in both cases are equally high, we have not the slightest doubt that more snow falls at Cockburnspath than at Carter's Fell. We shall now mention in what direction the shortest roads ought to run between some of the great towns we have mentioned, as indicated by lines drawn on Carey's map of Britain. London to Edinburgh.—A direct line touches or passes very near the following places.— Bedford, Rockingham, Leeds, Allendale, Ha wick, Selkirk, Middleton. Direct distance 332 miles. Newcastle to Edinburgh.—A direct line passes very near Kirkhill, and Barrow on the Coquet (in Northumberland), Towford, Crailing on the Tiviot, Earlstown, Lander, and Dalkeith. The line falls about one mile to the west of these three places. Direct distance 912 miles. The shortest road, therefore, at present, from New castle to Edinburgh, is that by Carter Fell and Jedburgh. Carlisle to Edinburgh.—A direct line passes near Longtown, Carsgill, :crosses the Ettrick at Crosslee, and the Tweed a mile west of Inver leithen. Direct distance 76 miles. We shall probably return to this subject sop;1. Two or three families residing at Shaftesbury intend shortly to depart from that town for America. One poor family left that place a few weeks ago, for the new settlement on Swan River. A few weeks ago, the ;sail-makers of Be'per turned out, in consequence .if a reduction of pz ices made by the manufacturers. Some of the men, tired of the contest, have resumed their employment et the reduced rates, and have Thereby exposed themselves to the its of turn•outs. On Tuesday night, one of those who have taken out work, named JONATHAN JACKSON, had fifteen panes of his windows broken. Another, JOHN GREGORT, was robbed of his tools, and had his bellows totally destroyed. We understand that Gillcour had watched his premises for several nights, in expectation that some mischief would be done to him, and Tuesday was the first night he had relaxed in his vigilance.
