There has been rather more animation in our Corn market, and Wheat may be quoted at an improvement of 3d. per 701bs. No material alteration in any other de scriptions of Grain or Flour. Cloverseed and Flax seed have become dull of sale ; the former article has been sold on rather lower terms than last week. There has been an arrival of 200 hhds. new Quer citron Bark from Philadelphia; 50 of which have been sold from the ship at 16s. 6d. to 175.; some small lots of middling old have brought 13s. per cwt.

MANCHESTER CORN MAR_KET. 7 -Apzil 12. In consequence of the bakers having advanced the price of bread at the beginning of last week, they purchased flour freely 7 • therefore they have not been much in want off that article during the present week ; nor has there been much demand for any article except fine English wheat, what the market was quite bare of. We had a fair attend ance of millers and dealers on our Corn Exchange this rooming ; also a large show of wheat the present samples of English and Irish each commanded a small advance at the opening of the market ; however, the holders are so anxious to push off the inferior qualities that the wheat trade finished deli at last Saturday's prices.—Grinding barley iu limited demand; and oats are not ready sale.— Boiling peas are nearly nominal.—Dry beans are in fair request at the quotations. The present supply of malt being liberal, and many makers being necessitated to sell, this article is not brisk although the quotations at foot are a trifle higher than last noted.—The present price of flour may he considered Gd. above the quotation subjoined ; but the demand will not warrant any alteration in the currency.

The annual meeting of this celebrated club was held nn Saturday, in Lord Dacre's park, the Hon, Hertfordshire, and attracted the most numerous assemblage of fashionables and others that we have seen there for many years. - Most of the nobility and gentry who had attended the .Newmar ket races, all the principal families of the county, and a great number of people of rank from the metropolis, were present, besides an unusual proportion of the middling classes. The sport, notwithstanding a few gentle showers w hi c h f e ll during the races, was of the first order, most of the horses being of Newmarket : the beat contested were the Match and Club Stake. The course was not dis graced by those exhibitions of low gambling which usually accompany a racing meeting, and was admirably kept by the huntsmen and whipper-in of the Salisbury Hunt. — The following are particulars The Two-year-old Stakes, of 25 SOVS. each : colts, Sst. 71b. ; fillies, Set. 4th.

SIR—I wish to correct a mistake which bas gone forth respecting the time at which Brown's shoulder was put out. It has been said, that it was not till within the last four or five rounds. I wish to observe, for your information and that of the public, that it was in the fourth round the injury was sustained, from his having fallen against the stake, and that he was never able to use his left arm with effect afterwards. Further, Sir, I have to say, that I never in the whole course of my life saw se much blackguardsim as well as confusion in a prize ring, as during the latter part of this fight. I think, from the conduct which was exhibited, that it is now absolutely necessary, where there is the least interest in a fight, that it should be made to take place on a stage, which may be turfed or otherwise as parties may agree; 'for it is impossible for a great fight to be decided fairly on the ground. I should like to give a gentle hint to those meu who are in the habit of second ing, they should act like men, and not like bull dogs, This would do away with a great deal of that confusion which now prevails. T now wish to say a word or two respecting Mr. Samp son. I never before saw a man, when he was fighting in a ring, attempt to strike his opponent's second, till in his fight with Brown. He then struck me, like a blackguard and a coward as lie is, well knowing that I dare rot, as a man, strike him again ; but now I call upon him to re deem his pledge to the public—that if he won his fight with Brown, he would fight me for two hundred pounds a-side. I beg to inform him that I will meet him, or any person he may appoint, to make this match at Toni Cribb's, whenever he may think proper. The fight to take place within three months from the match being made, and to come off on a stage, within a hundred miles of London. If this match is not made within one month, I shall be as I was, and know how to appreciate Mr. Sampson's conduct; but you know, Mr. Editor, it is not my principle to submit to a blow without wishing, like a man, to return it.-1 have the honour Ito be, Yours.

On Thursday his Majesty's stag bounds met for the last time this Nelson, at Princes Risborough, and had one of the most gallant hunts that have occurred during the season. The delight which it afforded to the numerous field of sportsmen, induces a hope that a stag may be hunted at the same place annually. A very fi n e stag, which has laciore been hunted, was turned out at Long wick about half past eleven o'clock, and went away throngh Waldridge, leaving Dinton to the right, away for CAdington. Ile was allowed twenty minutes' law, when the hounds were laid on, and pursued him at a spanking rate, followed by nearly 500 horsemen (and horses, for be it observed en passant some of them were very soon without riders). From Cuddingtoa the stag dished away through Chearsley-fume, nearly to Chilton, and from thence b e ing closely pressed by the hounds, ran into a pond near Wotton House, the seat of the :Marquis of Chandos. The hounds were here called off, and a few minutes' law given, w h e n the stag started back again, through Ashendon, nearly to Chilton, but left Chilton to the right, and passed the windmill to Long Crendon, where he rim into a gar den, seeming to be nearly exhausted. To the surprise of all, however, he l e aped a stone wall seven feet high, and darted through Crendon fields to the left of Thane, crossed the river Thine, and got into the park of Wykeham, E sq . From thence he ran back to Haddenham field, skirting the high road ; then retraced nearly the same ground over which he had:previously passed, to Waldridge, and was taken alive in a small enclosure at Ford. The hunt was universally allowed to have been one of the most severe for horses and hounds that the most experienced sportsmen had witnessed ; it lasted full time hours and a h a lf, distancing:some of the best horses and their riders. The onlyaccident beyond the spoiling of a few superfine coats, &e. was the loss of a valuable horse belonging to Mr. J. Hoare, of Great Missenden,:which disclocated its neck in a leap, The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at Aps- I c y Ilouse, Piccadilly, on Saturday evening, front his seat at Strathfieldsaye, Hants. Mr. Secretary HusKissoN came to town on Saturday night from the seat of the Duke of WELLINt:TON. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ar rived at his residence in Downing-street, on Saturday even i n g, from Strathfieldsaye. IV Cabinet Council was held yesterday after noon at four o'clock, at the Foreign Office, Downing street, summonses for which were issued on Saturday night. It was attended by the Duke of WEUINGTON, Earls DUDLEY and AnsanEEN, Lord ELLRNuortoncir, Viscount PA Lltaa.s.rox, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Mr. Secretary HITSKISSON, Mr. CHARLES GRANT, and the CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER. The Council broke up a few tninutes before sib o'clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) DEVONPORT, APRIL 12.—Letters brought by the Skylark packet, whiCh arrived at Falmouth on Thursday from Berinuda and Halifax, to the 6th of March, announce the death of Captain James Kear ney White, of his Majesty's ship Tyne, 2S, at Ber muda, on the 2d of that month, after a painful ill ness of thirteen days. He was interred the next day, the Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Commissioner Briggs, and all the Naval and Military Officers at the Island 'mending his remains to the grave. The ships on the station were all healthy. Provisions at Bermuda were enormously dear in consequence of the trade with America being prohibited. Letters were last night received from the Cape of Good Hope, dated on board his Majesty's ship Tweed, Captain Lord Churchill, 19th December last. A long voyage had reduced the ship's com pany to the short allowance of a pint of water and i'our ounces of bread per day. The Tweed was re ported to proceed to the isle of France in a few days. The Galatea and Ariadne frigates were to bring home from Malta the officers and crew of the Cam- j brian, lately lost at Carabusa, as soon as the result of the Court-martial, which was to be held at Malta, was known. Admiral Earl Northesk left Mount Wise on Wed oesday for Landon, where he is expected to remain six weeks. William Shield, Esq. Commissioner of this dock yard, and most of the heads of the naval depart ments in the kingdom, have recently been ex amined by the Finance Commitee, touching the subject of reductions. Mr. Shield returned from London on Tuesday, via Bath. We regret to state, that not a doubt exists of the loss of the Midas 'transport, with all - on board, as stated by us last week. She was commanded by Lient. Thomas Gill, R.N. (1805), a very zealous and meritorious officer.; By a very recent regulation, the artificers in the Dock-yards are only to work five days of the week, on ships of every description ; and such officers whose services can be dispensed with on the day on which no work is to be done, will have a deduction of one-sixth part. made from that day's pay. We understand it has been recently decided that Plymouth Sound is never, if possible, to be left with out one of Ills Majesty's "ships or vessels of war. In answer to a recent application, it has been in timated that, in consequence of new regulations, the sons of warrant officers of the Navy are no longer considered eligible to fill vacancies in the Upper School of the Royal Hospital at Greenwich. A detachment, consisting of three officers and twenty-two non-commissioned officers and privates, from the depot of the Ist Battalion of the Rifle Bri gade, are under orders for embarkation, to join the Service Companies. A steam-packet, to ply between Bristol, Falmouth, _and Truro, is about to be established. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 12.—Yesterday arrived from Lisbon, the Gloucester, 74, Captain J. S. Horton, with the 3d Regiment of Guards; Windsor Castle, 74, Capt. E. D. King, with the Grenadier Guards; and Melville, 74, Capt. IL Hill, with the 62d Regiment on board; each ship bringing also a company of the 4th Regiment of Infantry, the re maining companies of which corps having been left at Lisbon in the Spartiate and Pyramus, waiting the arrival of a transport from Gibraltar to convey them to England. The 60th Regiment left the Tagus on the Ist, in transports, for Cork. These ships sailed from the Tagus on the 2d instant. The intelligence brought by them of the present political state of af fairs in Portugal, conveys nothing of import ance beyond what has been received by let ters of the 22d ult. Don Miguel had since performed no public act more demonstrative of his attempt to usurp the Crown ; but the opinion that universally prevailed in Lisbon was, that on the 23d inst. which is the birth-day of the Queen Mother, some decisive step would be attempted. All the British forces have now left Portugal; but Sir Frederick Lamb, our Ambassador, deeming it advisable to keep a squadron in the Tagus, for the purpose of ensuring full protection to English property, Vice-Admiral Lord A. Beauclerk remains with the Spartiate, 76 guns, Captain Warren; Pyramus, 42 guns, Captain Sartorius ; Challenger, 28 guns, Capt. Fitz-Clarence; and the Lyra and Falcon brigs; and, as a security to the squadron, his Lordship retains possession of Fort St. Julien. The Melville, Gloucester, and Windsor Castle having since landed three companies of the 4th Regiment, will sail as soon as the wind will permit to the Downs, whence the two battalions of the Guards, will proceed in steam ves sels to London, and the 62d Regiment to do garrison duty at Dover. Extract from a letter, dated " TAGUS, APRIL 2, 1828.—The conflict of feel ings here is deplorable; the highest excitation per vades all degrees of society - , each party regarding with the most intense anxiety the effect of the next measure that may be taken by the Regent to sub vert the Constitution, and assume the Monarchy. In one corner of Lisbon may be observed a party of Priests, loudly exclaiming in favour of absolute Monarchy, which they consider will secure them in fluence and power ; whilst at the opposite corner is to be found a group of Constitutionalists, less loud in their praises of a Representative Government, but both parties fearful of each other, and still more afraid to act. The army is divided in opinion, and that party may reckon upon them from whom they may have expectation of being the most regularly paid. A decisive turn of affairs is contemplated on the 23d inst., that being the birth-day of the great actress in this scene of conspiracy, the Queen Mother. No intimation has yet been given of re assembling the Representative Chambers in Parlia ment, which were dissolved immediately on the ar rival of Don Miguel : indeed, the best informed about the place openly avow that it is not the inten tion of the Regent ever again to subject himself to the controul of such an Assembly. " General Saldanha will return to England in the Duke of York Packet, His life, it was considered, would have been forfeited to the malevolence of Don Miguel, had he landed. Of the Fort St. Julien, it is said, Don Miguel has demanded of Lord Amelius Beauclerk possession, which demand his Lordship refused. This will doubtless give rise to a curious question—how far, in the relative political position of the two countries, such a denial can be given to the legitimate Government. The British troops have now quitted these shores." The Duke of York steam-pa4et arrived on Thursday, from Lisbon. She sailed thence on the evening of the 4th instant ; no political occurrence had transpired, of any interest, since the departure of the troops, which sailed two days previously. The Duke of York brought thirty passengers, and a cargo of black lead, specie, and fruit. Among the passengers, are General Saldanha; she proceeded to the river yesterday. His Majesty's Steam-vessel Meteor, Lieut. Hay, arrived yesterday front Lisbon. She sailed on the Ist instant ; but having encountered extremely bad weather, she was compelled to put into Vigo to refit, and received on board a fresh supply of coals. Col. Burgoyne, of the Royal Engineers, and Captain Clinton, of the Guards, came home passengers in her, The Samarang, 28, Captain Dunn, arrived on Wednesday, from the Caps of Good She left the Cape on the sth of February, an d St. Helena on the 19th, touching at the Isle o f Ascen sion, where Colonel Nicholls and his ga rrison were left in good health. The Owen G lendower, 42, Commodore Christian, and Twee d, 28, Ca p tain Lord H. J. S. Churchill, were left in Simon's Bay ; the Helicon, 10, Commander D . Acland, and Spar rowhawk, is, Commander J. Polkinghorne, were on 11. F, Gre ville, was at the Maurit ius.—At the, Cape, affairs were going on satisfacto ri ly : the vinta ge had been a cruise; the Espoir, 10, Commander very good, and the upper settlements had been for some time undisturbed by the Caffrees. The Same rang spoke on the Line the ship Wanstead, bound to Dieman's Land; and off the Western landh the ship Clarendon, of Bristol.—Mr. Peunel, store keeper, at the Cape, and family, came passengers irt the Samarang. She sailed for Woolwich yesterday. We have accounts from Bermuda to the Bth of Match; at that time were lying there the Hussar, 46, Capt. E. Boxer, Tyne, 28, Commander Sir R.

E ng li s h, was at Halifax. The Skylark had arrived at Bermuda, with a mail prom England, after a tedious passage of 82 days. By successive gales of wind, she had so considerably suffered, as to be reduced, comparatively, toamere lr a e nd. cli. The February packet had not reached the Ivsl The officers and crew of the Cambrian frigate, Captain Gawen William Hamilton, C. 8., were con veyed, after the loss of that ship, to Malta, in the Rattlesnake, 28, Honourable Captain Bridgman, and Zebra, 18, Captain C. Cotton (since dead).. A Court Martial has been held, to inquire into the oc- - casion of her loss, of which the Honourable Captain' Crofton, of the Dryad, was President ; the other members of the Court were, Honourable Captain Bridgernan, Honourable Captain F. Spencer, cad Command ers Copeland and Hotham. After Captain Hamilton's narrative had been read, and evidence heard upon it, and upon the praiseworthy behaviour of the ship's company on that trying occasion, the Courtffi cer s , determined,and that Captain Hamilto n , hi, were fully exon era t e d, an d f u ll y officers, crew, acquitted of all blame for the loss of the ship.—ln conveying this sentence, the Court expressed their commendation, in the highest terms, of the exer tions and conduct of the officers, on the occasion; and Admiral Sir Edward Codrington subsequently assured the whole of the ship's company, that the recommendations he had sent to the Lord High Admiral were such, that the circumstance of their having been in the Cambrian svoeld ever oper a t e to their advantage. Captain Hamilton, on having his sword returned to him, was addressed by the Presi dent, in the following 'terms :—" Captain Hamilton, it is with much and sincere pleasure, that I have to return you your sword—one that has always been used with true credit, and to the good service 0C your country. I cannot at the same time refrain from expressing to you the regret which this Coat experiences at the melancholy wind up of your long and arduous exertions in the Archipelag o , performed so ably and with such advantage to the country, and I am sure that there is not an officer or man in the squadron who does not join in this feeling." Captain Hamilton, after the Court Martial, XIII ';. charged with despatches for London; but being, from indisposition, unable to travel with the eequi site celerity, he sent them forward from Genoa, nine der the care of his first Lieutenant, Robert Smarr, who arrived at the Admiralty on Monday. The Terror bomb has been hove off the beaeh on which she was stranded, by the exertions of Captain Hope and his crew, aided by Mr. Aikbone, Master of the Pyramus, who went to he: assistance in 8. transport. She has proceeded to Gibraltar.

The ground has been found just as it was at the preceding irruption. Mr. G. was able to walk through eight frames, from No. 5 to No. 12 ; but as the lights went out from the fed state of the air, he was obliged to return. The brick work is not, it appears, disturbed in the least ; the shield neither, as far as could be seen . We are happy to add that Mr. 13 nuNvE, jun-, is iu a vaity fair way of recovery.
