Yesterday and to-day have been, fertile in eports. One mentioned that letters from Odessa to the 16th. September, positively stated that all the Russian officers in that quarter, whO were on leave of absence, had received orders to rejoin their, . . re ennis Without loss of time; another re port, derived from letters front France, stated that the French. Government had received Ovrices from Constantinople, through Germany, announcing that the Porte had shown some dis position to give way, in consequence of which negociations had been again opened, and rumours to the same effect from Vienna reached London,-tbrough Holland. Our own Govern ment also yesterday received advices through Corfu from Mr. STRATFORD CANNING, and as their contents were of sufficient consequence to be immediately communicated to his MAJESTY and to a Cabinet Council, it was supposed that they confirmed the rumour ofthe submission ofthePorte to the terns proposed by the Allies. The real nature of Mr. STRATFORD• CANNING'S dis patches, however, did not, in any way transpire, and it is probable that their dates come down only to the sth or 6th Sept. It was stated, in deed, pretty confidently, that at their `ate some additional time had been allowed to the SULTAN to decide on the grand question ; and we shall not be surprised to find that the period of 30 idAys, originally proposed to be given to his highness, was conceded. This would bring the tim e for the final answer to the 15th Sept., and will at once .account for the apparent delay in the receipt of decisive :intelligence from the Turkish Capital. If the 15th had been fixed upon as the day on which the answer was to be :given, the nature of that answer will probably be known in Paris to-day or to-morrow, as the jouru e y from Constantinople May be made (as it , 'was a short time since) in 17 or-18 days. We 'nay, therefore, be shortly relieved from the anxious suspense which we have been kept in re fl)cting the decision of a question on which, Possibly, hangs the destinies of nations. Since writing the above, we understand that the dispatrzlies,. which were received yesterday "in thr: lonian Islands, and on which the Ca binet Council met to deliberate, were of high 111 Prirtance, and of a decisive character—they ' arP - supposed to relate to the Egyptian fleet. A vessel has also arrived, which passed through 111. e Egyptian fleet, but the writer of a letter, "which was sent by. her, has omitted to mention th e dat e , or the latitude and longitude; so that cannot be ascertained whether the vessel met t he fleet on its e passage from Alexandria to R hodes, or after its departure from thence. Major CRADDOCK, in the Pelican, had ar lived at Alexandria, three days after the depar t4N of the Egyptian fleet, charged (it is con 4"ed) with authority to negociate for the neu "43, of the PACHA. Brazil and Buenos Ayres may be considered 48 being again in a state of determined hostility a gainst each other. The .Emperor of BRAZIL, an his part, has resolved to take the field in person, w ith the avowed object of conquering the Banda °liental ; and one general feeling pervades the People of Buenos 'Ayres to resist by every means in their power. A spirit of enthusiasm prevails eroongst them which it will be difficult to subdue. The.new President and many of the great Officers of St a t e h ave given up a portion of their emoluments, and private individuals have sub scribed large voluntary contributions towards the expell ees o f t h e war, for the preservation of their independence, an d objects of national interest and honour. The hope of pacification under such circumstances seemed to be vain, but still the British Merchants resident at Buenos Ayres had presented a memorial t o L or d PONSONBY, who remained there notwith standing the popular feeling expressed against him, praying his Lordship to use his per sonal endeavours to bring about a renewal of negotiations for the attainment of Peace. Whether his Lordship would make any sueh attempt was not known at the date of the letters, but we fear that no endeavours on his part would be successful. A spirit of animosity has been excited between the two nations which it will be difficult to allay, besides which, each seems determined to obtain that tract of country, the possession of which in a great degree commands the navigation of the Rio Plata. With such an object, and such exasperated feelings, it is almoSt useless to hope:for the resto rat i on of amicable re lations between Brazil and Buenos Ayres. W e h ave given in another part of our Paper of the 'conduct of M. G ARCIA, which he an expositio n has published in defence of his p rocee d. ings in negotiating the Peace which has not been ratified. By the arrival.of the Duke of York steam-vessel We have been put ill possession of intelligence from Lisbon up to the 24th ult. inclusive. No thing important had occurred. The trial of Gen. SI IIBBs was proceeding. The PRINCESS RE GENT - and her two sisters were present at a review and sham fight of the British army, on the 20th ult., and were much interested by the spectacle. Their Royal Highnesses were not greeted with much enequsiasm by the populace. The most important facts stated by these ad °ices is, that the Liston Gazette of the 22d September made an official announcement of the expected arrival of Don MIGUEL to assume the Regeuey ; and the Gazette of the 24th an advertisement for contracts for the sup ply of the British Army with provisions for six months lion-116 21st instant. It is therefore evident that the return of DON MIGUEL Will not necessarily relieve our army from its present service. We subjoin extracts from the Lisbon Gazette, and an interesting letter from our own Correspondent, but must defer further comment till to-morrow : usnow, SPAT. 94, The Gazette of to-day contains, in the official part, a notice from the finance department, containing an order of the Infanta Regent to proceed immediately to the making of the estimates of the public receipt and expenditure for the year 1828. Her Highness also orders that the officers of the Treasury shall use the utmost diligence, that the accounts of the receipt and expenditure for the present year may be made up in the beginning of January next, as they will be of great importance in making the estimate for the next year. The Gazette also contains an advertisement inch ing those persons who are disposed to contract for the sup ply of the British troops now quartered, or who may be quartered in the sequel, from Lisbon to Ericeira, and five leagues distant from it to the North of the Tagus, for the term of six months, commencing from the 21st of October inclusive, to send in their tenders before noon on the 4th of October. The articles required are wheat-bread, fresh beef, barley, straw, and wood. LISBON, SEPT. 2s. The steam-packet which conveys this to England arrived here yesterday from Malaga, Gibraltar, and Cadiz. At the latter place there was a report of the British Ambas sador having left Madrid, in consequence' of the discovery of some intrigue between the French and Spanish Go-. vernments against England, regarding the French army in Spain. Th e t ru th or f a l se h oo d o f this report will, how ever, be known in England before this reaches you. The Government here continues in the same unsettled state as when I addressed you last, and fully as despotic as if the Constitution never existed. A few days ago the conductors of the newspaper called 0 Portuguez were all hurried to prison on some frivolous charge, and the arrest of several individuals of liberal principles . has been going forward liar some time, whilst others, notoriously known to be inimical to the Constitution, are allowed to strut about at noon-day. Yesterday there was an official an nouncement in the Lisbon Gazette, which is the organ of Government, inferring that Don Miguel may soon be ex pected to assume the Regency. If this should take place matters will then take some deCided shape, whether for better or for worse remains to be seen ; at any rate the question of the remaining or withdrawing of our army_ will be ascertained. At present we continue in a state of uncertainty, and by way of amusement, ass our troops have had no seal fighting - since they came to this country, the Commander of the forces seems determined that they.shall not go home without showing the, natives what they can do by way of sham-fighting. By the , last packet I gave you some account of a bloodless battle of this nature which took place last week, and shall new endeavour to describe a similar fete whkh was performed OB the same ground, but by a greater number of troops, on the 20th instant. The weather was particularly favourable fur the occasion, as there bad been a storm of thunder and lightning,ac companied by a considerable fall of rain, the preceding day. This cooled the air and prevented dust, which, from there not having been even a slight shower for the last four months, must have been, as Jonathan says, " pretty consi derable." Soon after the troops had assembled, the Prin cess Regent and her two sisters made their appearance, riding richly eiparieoned horses, and dressed, if I may so term it, as female Field-Marshals. They wore blue riding habits, with gold epaulettes; the collars of the habits'were in the Prussian military style, and which, as also the cuffs, were embroidered with gold. Their fair bosoms were de corated with military orders, and their head-dresses con sisted of black velvet Spanish hats, adorned with plumes of white ostrich feathers. The Regent looked quite reco vered from her late severe illness, and seemed a good deal interested in the scene before her. She was attended by Sir William Clinton and Sir William A'Court. Mr. Duff, an English merchant of eminence here, 'and an Officer on the Staff, were paying great attention to the second Prin cess ; and the youngest was attended to by Lieutenant- Colonel Warre, the Assistant Quartermaster-General, who, from having been brought up in early lift at Oporto, his father being an English merchant there, speaks Portuguese like a native. The opposing forces, as on the former occasion, were commanded by Major-Generals Sir H. Bouverie and Sir Thomas Arbuthnot. The former had the two battalions of Foot Guards, the 10th Hussars, and 12th Lancers; the latter the 11th, 43d, and 63d regiments of infantry, with a proportionate number of artillery on each side. When all was ready, the Guards moved to the attack in close co lumns, and afterwards by wings in line ; the sharp-shooters were of course in full play, hut on coming near enough to the main body of the other party the skirmishers retired, and a fire was opened of musketry and artillery along both lines. The assailed party then moved forward, on which the others retrograded, to afford an opportunity of bringing their cavalry into play. These troops made some fine charges, but the quick formation of squares by the infantry- showed 'how easily cavalry can be rtpulsed when those on foot are steady, and not taken by surprise. The whole of the troops afterwards passed in review before the Princess, and it was truly gratifying to hear the expres sions of admiration and surprise by many of the spectators during the whole business. Jamaica Papers to the 21st of August, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. They contain no intelligence from the Main of the least importance. By the Papers of the 20th, it appears that his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor bad been much indis posed, but was so much recovered as to give notice of his intention of reviewing the St. Ann's, St. Mary's, and Trelawney Regiments of Militia. Some accounts arc then given of the boisterous state of the weather on the Saturday preceding, which commenced suddenly with a strong north wind blowing; the rain fell in tor rents during the night, and about half-past six o'clock it began to blow from the N. W. varying to the N. and S. W., with a very heavy sea running, which excited much alarm for the vessel s in th e h ar b our; th e larger, however, rode gale in safety, a few of the small craft drifted and suffered some injury. Several ves sels which were at Port Royal, ready to proceed to sea, delayed their departure on account of the wild appearance of the morning. The Lady Wellington packet, had been delayed sailing by order of the L ieut.-Governor,' to Tuesday, the 4th September, from th e 28th August. This early notice appears to have given much satis faction to the mercantile interest, by enabling those merchants, residing on the north side of the Island, to benefit by. the detention, instead of learning, as heretofore, of the postpone ment .of a picket after . she had sailed. His Majesty's ship Harlequin, Captain ELLIOT, arrived in Port Royal, from Port-au - -Prin ce , in five days. The Bustard, Captain Surrii, sailed from thence the same day, having on . board Mr. M'KENZIE, the Consul-General: his brother came down in the 'Harlequin. At the period of his departure all was tranquil in St. Domingo. A letter from St. Mary's of the 7th August, mentions that death . had made such ravages among the crews of the vessels at Annotta Bay, that those loaded and ready for sea cannot proceed. for want of hands. One vessel.has lost her crew twice ; the malady is supposed to be typhus; sand imported by 'Oll6 of the same vessels. It appears the Receiver-General demands duties upon Rum (not Jamaica) and other stores brought into the island as naval stores, the Ad miral on the station has in consequence expressed him Self offended ;`but as . the Receiver-Creneral is acting under the orders of the Commissioners of Accounts, it was considered he would attri bute the act solely as emanating from his sense of duty. Some threats had been, it appears, thrown out that the squadron should be removed to Trinidad in consequence, but Which, if ever se riously contemplated, appears to have been given up ; and,'• to add' weight to this idea; the Editor of the paper enters into a long reasoning on the subject, which, however, is of a nature that, shoWs the jealousy of the people of the Island on the subject, of the permission granted by.the Government at hoine, in allowing the,importa 7 tion of .Foreig,n Sugars, at reduced rates. z : d e peopl e do . not care 'Who is Commanderlin- Chief ortlie Army ; the squadron is not pi atthe island to' oblige the peopki but beeaUSe it is a convenient port, with reference to the Island of Cuba, the Colombian and Mexican StatesoSte. They then complain that his Majesty's Ministers have uniformly trampled on the Island, and that they ought to pay as much attention to the court try of Jamaica, as to the county 'of Middlesex. Bombay .Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 21st of June, from which we make the fol lowing extracts : We are concerned to find the cholera has again made its appearance in the Bengal districts, and that the native community of Calcutta, Belascore and Juypore, are not only afflicted with that dreadful epidemic, but 'are labouring under the plague, of fever, small-pox, and measles. We understand a considerable quantity of rain has fallen in the Deccan. On Sunday evening, about 8 p.m: we experienced one 'of, those brisk land-squalls, the grateful harbingers of the monsoon, attended with muck thunder and lightning. The rain fell heavily till 11 p.m., when it gradually subsided. The • Cornwallis brings us discouraging accounts of the China cotton market. The'price of that staple article has fallen to about 8 tales per pecul. Malwa opium at from 930 to 960 dollars ; the price of Patna, very low, last year's Patna being very inferior, both in quality and weight reduced the price, but the Teignmouth had reached Lin ton with a much superior kind, and of the full standard weight which will probably turn the scale again in its favour. By accounts received from Arracan, the Burmese had burnt the whole bazaar, and killed several persons, Mugs, I presume, who are objects of their interminable hatred. Five companies of the 52d regiment, now stationed here, have re ceived orders to embark for Akyab immediately. No great consequence is attached to the affair, it is considered one of those affrays which may be expected to take place be tween the Mugs and Burmese whenever they meet in any numbers. By a vessel from Rangoon we learn that the same obstacles continue to be thrown in the way of trade as before the war; two per cent. (it is now twelve) has been added to the duty on goods imported, and the Burmese authorities will permit nothing to be sold till they have selected what they please. In con sequence of the dissatisfaction at the police regulations, all the Calcutta Ticca Bearers had struck work for the last three or four days, and it is said they had come to a deter mination of not lifting a palanquin in Calcutta until the obnoxinne regulation is rescinded. We have the melan choly task of recording the death of Major-General 11. Hall, tommandine- the Southern Division of th e A rmy ; the command has devolved on Major-General James Leith, who has been recently put on the staff of Fort St. George. It is with some regret we have learnt, by recent letters from Hydrabad, of a melancholy transaction that occurred on the morning of the 6th May, at Blominabad, the head quarters of the cavalry division of the Nizam's army, it having been reported early in the morning to Lieutenant Colonel Davies (the Officer commanding the Cavalry Divi sion) that a number of men of the 3d Regiment had turned out and refused to obey the orders of their Officers. Upon enquiry it was found that the men alluded to, had planted a flag on the General Parade, and with arms in their hands refused to listen to their Commanding Officer, who was vainly endeavouring to persuade them to return to their duty. Lieut.-Colonel Davies accompanied by his Brigade Major, proceeded to the spot, where about 25 men were found assembled. On the Colonel approaching, they ex claimed (waking use of menacing gestures) don't come here, Colonel, and send away your orderlies, we will have nothing to do with them ; the orderlies were sent to the rear, and the Lieutenant-Colonel, with his Brigade-Major, made use of every argument to induce the deluded men to return to their duty, and, as it was at first-supposed, with some effect, but while Colonel Davies was speaking to one of the men apart, a havildar, who appeared one of the leaders, came forward and seized the bridle of the Colonel's horse, calling out in Hindostanee to kill him, and drawing his pistol, fired at hint ; the ball went in his left side, and came out on the other just below the rib, the gorse reared, and he fell off, when the whole body of mutineers fired at him, then attacked him with their swords, by which he received eleven sabre wounds. At this moment the let Regiment, under the European Commandant, were approaching the parade ; they immediately charged the mutineers, and the whole, with the exception of three or four men who threw down their arms (and have been se cured), were cut up. The officer commanding received a sabre cut on his sword arm, and three or four men of the 3d Regime2t, which also charged, were wounded ; it ap pears the ITavilder (the ring-leader), with two others, got into a pogoda, and for some time kept two of the European officers and one or two others at bay, at last they made a rush and dispatched them. The Natives (by whom Lieut. Colonel Davies was beloved) treated .the body of the ring leader with every possible indignity after his death.— The exact cause of this melancholy transaction has not transpired ; but a strict investigation is now on foot, and the cause will be shortly known. Colonel Davies only survived his wounds until the morning of the Bth, when he expired, on which occasion the Resident addressed a General Order, on the part of the Nizam's Go vernment, to his army, in which he expresses the deepest sorrow at the loss of so valuable an Officer, his grief and indignation at the outrage committed on the deceased by the insubordination of the military ruffians, and trusts this . feeling will be echoed in the breast of every—Officer and soldier in the Nizam's army. Another lamentable transaction, of a similar nature, but fortunately less fatal in its result has occurred in Trichinopoly in the attempt to as sassinate Major Smythe of the sth Native Cavalry, by one of the troops of the regiment. The wretched man, who made the attempt, is stated to be deranged. It appears on the 18th the assassin followed the Major off the exer cising pound, and having addressed a few words to him fired off his pistol, which, however, did not take effect, he immediately fired off a second, which unfortunately, took and lodged in the Major's sh o uld er -bl a de, from place,wh it has not been extracted. The wretch then fled to the top of some rocks near the cantonments, but was pursued by nearly the whole regiment. Cornet Lord and Lieut. Craigie were the first persons who came up with him, and, upon attempting to secure him, he fired, which grazed Cornet Lord's head. He then produced another pistol, and was in the act of cocking, when Lieutenant Craigie ehct him dead on the spot. We are to state, upon good aut h or i ty , t h at M a j or sm s wound, thoegh . seve re , i s not atten d e d w ith much t h i e ppy , danger. Letters from Gibraltar of the 18th ultimo, mention that by the latest accounts from Oran, another French vessel had been taken and car ried into that place. Such had been the alarm occasioned by the insurrection in Catalonia, that upwards of 20,000 persons had taken refuge in Barcelona, and house rent, in consequence, had risen two-thirds... By accounts from Tarragona, in' four days, body of 2,000 insurgents had taken possession of Rens, on the 9th September; and had levied on.the inhabitants eontributiOns;, having impri soned them until they complied with their de mands. They had previously entered Vendide, where they ; levied a sum of 8,000 dollars, and are masters of Blanes and other places. Bombay Papers to the 21st- June have been received - ibis :morning at the. North and South American Coffee-house ; their, contents are un interesting, being chiefly filled with extracts‘from the London Papers. The monsoon has set in generally thrbughout this side of India, and we : ar e thus assured. that there is no fear of'a drOught in the districts during the ensuing season—An evil so common and so disastrous in tropical climates. The Elena, Monzto, from Teneriffe, arriv ed at Gibraltar on. the 11th September ; she was. boarded on the . 18th AugOst in sight of that Island, by an armed brigantine, of about 12 guns and 50 men, stated to be a Maro quin cruizer, which inquired for. Hamburg]) and . South Airterican vessels, and the amine of the Island in sight. • A report • has arrived that the Egyptian fleet have landed - troops at . the Island of Hydra, and have put to death the whole of its. garrison, and the greater, portion of the inhabitants. The following extraordinary phenomena is extracted from a letter, addressed by Captain HUNT, of the Atlas ; from Madras, dated off Plymouth, October 1 : We experienced a continuance * of storms for IS days, whilst rounding the Cape of Good Hope : in one of them, whilst opposite the 'coast of Algoa ,Bay, on the 27th' of June, about 5 p.m., by a sudden explosion, the ship'was covered with several balls of fire, part of which entered the main-mast at the head and descended to the middle, where it burst out, carrying with it two-thirds of the masts, hoops,.and fishes. •A. great part passed through one of the pumps, which it split in two between decks, and filled them with smoke. Scarcely had the shock subsided, when another explosion happened : all the sails in the main-mast were cut :to pieces, 'though furled:; all the glass in the poop and skylight broken to atoms, many of our watches considerably injured, and our compasses greatly affected, one of which is at this time acting on the reverse order. During the time hard squalls, with rain, and hail stones of peculiar.shape and size. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. CHAPMAN V. HOWLS. ' This was an action to recover the amount of a debt eon tractedin the year 1819, in order to take the debt out of the Statute of Limitations, evidence was given of a condi. tional acknowledgment made by the defendant within six years, nearly in these words : —She said she was sorry that she could not pay the debt, as she bad but two sovereigns. She regretted she could not discharge the plaintiff's demand, as it might bring all her other creditors about her ears. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE decided that this acknowledg ment of the debt did not take the case out of the operation of the Statute of Limitations. There had been several judgments on this subject, still there existed considerable misconception with respect to the law. Ile would, there fore, once for all, declare that no acknowledgment could avail, unless it amounted to a promise to pay. In the present instance, the defendant, so far from promising to pay, had, in fact, declared her inability to pay, accompanying that declaration with the expression of regret. The dc fendant's claim must therefore stand as it the defendant had never adverted to the existence of the debt since 1819.--- Th• plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. LEACH V. MULLET, AND AN-OTHER Mr. IluTcriiissoN opened the pleadings. It was an ac tion brought to 'recover 3W., the amount of a deposit paid by the plaintiff to the defendants as part of the purchase money of two houses, which the defendants as auctioneers, had sold him. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS stated the case. The two houses in question were described as Nos. 3 and 4, Elizabeth-place, Lambeth; but after the deposit had been paid, it was discovered by the plaintiff, that the houses really intended to be soll .to him were Nos. 2 and 3. There were also other mistatements, both as to the ground-rent and as to the liability of the landlord to pay taxes, &e. _ _ Evidence was offered to spew that the auctioneers had no authority whatever to svil No. 4. Mr. Sergeant SranxtE, for the defendants, argued that the misdescription of the premises was a mere mistake, arising from inadvertence, and not intended to deceive the plaintiff; the error, such as it was, was caused by a pro- vision in the conditions of sale, to the effect, that -if any error or mis-statement should creep into the description, it should not vitiate the contract. The Learned Sergeant further contended, and called witnesses to spew, that the plaintiff was himself aware of the misdescription of the premises. 'the evidence, however, did not go the full length of fixing him with that knowledge. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE thought the misstatement of too serious a character to be treated as one arising from inadvertence. It was material that auctioneers should be accurate in their description of premises, otherwise they would have it in their power to practise frauds on the public. if in deed they had fallen into a mere nii:-statement, calculated to mislead, that might be a matter fur compensation ; but in the present instance it was in Isis Lordship's opinion such as to deprive the defendant of all right to enforce the contract against the plaintiff. Veidict for the plaintiff—Damages, 301. By a letter received from Port Louis (Mau ritius) of the 2d June, we learn the Clydesdale is in a very bad state; she had met with several accidents, had been on shore on the James and Mary Shoal ) and on her passage down had 8 feet water in he: hold. She bad been ordered to be unloaded and surveyed, but it was fearful she would be found in a very bad state, and would be con demned. The hurricane months being now over, we are assured of a most aboadant crop of sugar, say upwards of 20,000 tons for shipping, and a good current freight of 51. may be fairly calculated upon from October to January. A vessel coming out in search of freight, touching at Rio de Janeiro or the River Plate for a cargo of m ules, would sell them readily here on arrival at 130 to 150 dollars each. 33 G. l d Government each. nent bills 28 per cent. premi um ; dollars about Her Maj es ty the Queen of WUKTEMBERG entertained M r . an d M r s.

DISGUSTING OFFENCE.--A younggirl names' Tierney, was brought before the Magistrates of College street on Tuesday, on a charge of a novel nature. It ap. pears that she, and some of her accomplices, have been it the habit of frequenting Merrion and Fitzwilliam-squares. at hours when ladies residing in those fashionable quarter , enjoy a morning or evening promenade ; after throwing r quantity of filth upon their dresses, apf rising them of tb state of their attire, offering their assistance for cleaning it. they finally claim a sum of money as a remuneration fel their trouble.—Several ladies of the highest r espectabilit:, have been treated in this manlier by those young vagabonds, but through motives of delicacy they could not be inducer' tails of er, theirNvh who consequently n e s r equ in enly this escaped. very wde of otainto come forwa r d t o su b s t an ti a te the charge against the prisoner, e puni i s a h o ment b Thed i; ; money would not be very pleasing to our readers ; nr. would we at all advert to it, were it not that we wish n draw the attention of the public and the police partieulal to the offence--Dublin Patriot. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The report of arrivals for this week is at present very small, there appears, however, plenty of samples of most kinds of Grain at market to meet the present limited de mand. Wheat, unless superfine, meets a dull sale at Mon day's prices. There is scarcely any thing doing in Bar ley. Beans and Pease are unaltered. The Oat trade is heavy for all descriptions, but the prices cannot be re ported lower than on ➢Monday. ARRIVALS. I Wheat. English 2,050 qrs. Irish - Barley. i Oats.

The first lots did not go oft• with any degree of briskness, but as the morning advanced, there was much contention for the su perior descriptions. The prices obtained were, if any thing, higher than last sale, but as yet, owing to the few lots sold, no criterion can be formed of the result of the sale. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

D.M.—Won by a time, The following are additional particulars of the Gra►id Duke Michael Stakes:— After two or three false starts, Gaberlunzie jumped off at a good pace, Glenartney being a good second to him, and Espagnolle close at his quarters ; they went along at a good bar to the bashes, when Espagnolle and Glenartney changed places ; at the Abingdon Mill Bottom, Espagnolle came up to Gaberlunzie, and in t,. short struggle that en- , sued, got a little a-head ; the latter, however, again got the lead, and maintained it till within a few strides of home, when Espagnolle, by an astonishing effort, regained the front and won by a bead. The race was very close throughout, the last four coming in so close as to render it impossible to say where Glenartney was. A good deal of interest existed in this race, all the horses crack fa vourites for the Derby, for which it will be recollected Glenartney came in second to Mameluke, Espagnolle and Gaberlunzie being fourth and fifth; and the above race supports the running, and proves decidedly that Mame luke was the best horse in the race.
