The low ' Pate, however, place all such to the account of oar troops. It appears that the party in favour of the Prince of ' l ' 4 Orange is gaining ground in several parts of Belgium. This proclamation, as private accounts say, has been read with pleasure by many persons at Brussels, and ;'), 6 Nine of the Journals of that city have published it. At lAtivitin it is highly approved, and at Ghent the people are in general extremely satisfied with it. The Journal du Grind speaks openly iu favour of it. The Courtier de la Meuse, the chief organ of the clergy, has not yet spoken of the plan of giving the sceptre to the Prince of Orange ; but it has inserted two remarkable ar tight, strewing that it would be unavailable and dangerous to vit4blish a republic. The accounts from Antwerp confirm the statement that there is a great party in the South in favour of the Prince Orange, and that there is now more reason to hops that tranquillity and order will be restored in those Pro viu eel by amicable negotiation.. We ere this moment informed that the Postmaster-Ge peral 4 1 given public notice that the ordinary mails can '4Ber wave letters to or from the provinces that have tthrow.,n off the Y legal authority of the King—that the let flieL,'"rnidy put into the post-offices may bhtaken out on 4 .,""lntnrY proof being adduced, and that measures are adopted to keep up the communication by ordinary or ex traordinaty means with the places that remain faithful to t h e King's authority, namely, with Antwerp, Maestricht, le . m burgr and th e p ar t s occup i e d by th e army, as well 5 ,,. with France and other foreign countries.

The !h(loot -nor lias, however, issued a proclamation to-day, onking the Burgher Guard for their conduct, and add ing various regulations for the prevention of further dis orders.

The French Papers contain some amusing details relative to an alarm of a revolutionary movement, which seems to have half paralysed the-official authorities of Berne. The particu lars are of no great moment, except inasmuch as they show to what an extent the mere appre hension of something like revolution has in fected even the humbler and more peaceful Governments of the continent. The Belgic Papers are filled for the most part with decrees respecting the new laws of election in Belgium, by which we learn that no man can be an elector under '25 years of age, and that the National Conven►ion shall be composed of I'2oo Deputies. It gives us pleasure to find that the new im provements in the Strand, and elsovhere, are proceeding with great rapidity, and in a proper business-like spirit. But we would venture to suggest to his MAjEsTY's Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, as the Strand has been already so much improved by extending its width, the propriety of extending it still further, and wholly doing away with that abominable nui sance Holywell-street, which is no less offensive to the sight than the health of the neighbour hood. This fetid, miserable lane or alley, which presumes to call itself a street, once re moved, an entrance might be made to New Inn, which, viewed from the opposite side of the Strand (London's greatest thorough fare), would have a very imposing effect. — We merely throw out this as a hint for his Lordship's better judgment. Under his su perintendence numerous public improvements have been already made and are still mak ing, and if the sphere of such improvements can be extended, we see no earthly reason why they should he lost sight of, for want of a timely suggestion. The alterations East of Temple-bar, arc, we believe, under different superintendence, but here, too, a considerable improvement might be made by the widening of the Fleet-street end of Fetter-lane, which is at present so narrow as ac tually not to permit two carriages to pass abreast. It is consequently the scene of daily—indeed hourly—interruptions, and perpetually resounds with the oaths of carmen, draymen, cads, and others of that accomplished fraternity. By the bye, St. Dunstan's Church is, we hear, put up for public auction, pulpit, reading-desk, and all. Is not this rather an irreverent) way of dis posing of consecrated goods and chattels ? But n'importe ; lucre, which redeems the character of almost every strange bargain in England, can also redeem this, even were the clergyman as well as the Church, to be put up for public suction. We copy from the Chronicle of this morning the following paragraph. It is a satisfactory answer to the many calum9ies that have of late been scattered abroad against the Belgians, to the effect that their armed force was ill-provi sioned and (what is worse) split into factions, that their Provisional Government was vacillat ing in their policy, and Belgium itself in a state of general anarchy We learn from a gentle man of honour and veracity, arrived from Bel gium, that the Provisional Government main tained its popularity, and that the Belgian army was daily receiving reinforcements, and com pleting its organization. The amount of armed force at the command of the Provi sional Government had already attained to nearly eighty thousand men, completely equipped, and nothing less than the conquest of all the Belgian towns would satisfy the demands of thyse patriots. Throughout Belgium good order and tranquillity prevailed. Neither arms nor provisions were wanting. So much for the misrepresentations of the present state of Bel-' gium and Brussels, put forth, with vain' design, in the Government newspapers.* The enthusiasm said to prevail in Holland for the Royal cause is much exaggerated." In all cases where great changes take place in a country, an incredible quantity of misrepresen tation must for a time he expected. The two opposing parties will spare no pains to revile each other's motives, though as a matter of course the greater modicum of malignity will always be On the side of the losing party. The king of the NETHERLANDS being the loser in this instance, has taken good care that the ordinary principles of human nature shall not be departed from in his case, and has accordingly, through his emissaries, represented the Belgians as in the lowest state of prostration. During the early movements of the Revolution this notion re ceived no slight degree of credit in England ; refutation, therefore, like the one we have quoted above from our intelligent and public-spirited cetemporary, bearing as it does the stamp of authenticity, is absolutely called fbr and deserves consideration. While on the subject of Bel gium, we may observe, that a paper has been put into our hands, stating that sub scriptions are on the eve of being opened for the benefit of the sufferers at Brussels. We trust that such is the case. Victims in the cause of freedom, no matter to what country they belong, are peculiarly entitled to the sympathies of Englishmen. In the first place, Innnanity,—that fine, universal feeling, which in the hour of distress makes brothers of us all—speaks trumpet-tongued in behalf of the Belgians; and secondly policy, which teaches, or should teach, Englishmen that whoever advo. catea the cause of freedom abroad, is advocating it for themselves at home. 'Th e French Revo lution has given the first great impulse to Reform in the House of Co mmons ; the 13clgians rhaps still greater has given it a second, and pe one ; we have already acknowledged the claims of .France on our gratitude ► it remains for us to show ourselves equally grateful to Belgium. Despatches have been again received at the Foreign Office, from Lord STUART DE ROTH SAY, at Paris, and from Sir CHARLES STUART at the Hague. Prince TALLEYRAND, the Freneh Ambas sador, had a long interview this morning with the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord ABERDEEN. Lords MELVILLE and ELLENBOROUGH, Sir R. PEEL, and Mr. GouLnunw, had long interviews with the Premier this morning at his residence in Downing-street. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of all kinds of Grain this week are mode rate, and the quantity of Flour is not considerable. The Wheat trade remains heavy, and Monday's prices ale hardly maintained. Barley for malting sells readily at last quo.. tations, other kinds are dull. Beans are rather cheaper. Outs obtain the rates of Monday, but sales are not lively. In the Flour trade no variation.

SVGA R.—The demand for British Plantation Sugars still continues inactive, and the total sales in the week ending this morning cannot be estimated higher than 2,500 hhds. Prices are heavy, good brown working descriptions having been disposed of at front 475. 6d. to 4.85. Gd., and low middling yellow grocery descriptions at tam 475. to 525. per cwt. Foreign Sugars are Oro:heavy. In East India Sugars more business has been done. The Compiny's sale of 12,659 bags of Bengal Sugar took place on Wednesday, and the principal portion taken fur the home trade at prices rather under those of lust sale. Mid dling white qualities went 6d. per cwt. lower; good and flue white realized from 31s. Gd. to 345.; middling 275. to 295. ; and low white and fine yellow from 261. Gd. to 275. 6d. per cwt. The prices of Mauritius Sugars have also fallen from 6d. to Is. per cwt., except bright yelloW, which obtains front 495. to 508. per cwt. In refined Su gars more is doing in common lumps for shipment than previously to the reduction in the bounty ; good large lumps are at 68s. per cwt. and good small about 70s. per cwt., making a decline of Gd. per cwt. in store and is. lower in bond, since the alteration of I-10th on the pre vious bounty. Common loaves and fine lumps are only Is. cheaper, the home trade being buyers. COFFEE. —The supply is considerable, and the attend ance of buyers numerous; but though the demand was good, Jamaica have slightly fallen from Is. to Is. Gd. per cwt.. on fine ordinary and fine fine ordinary qualities. Some good middling Jamaicas realized 735. to 745. ; middling is at 525. to 593., and fine ordinary 465. to 51s. Berbice and Demerara maintain their value. Some pretty large parcels of Brazil, &c., have been disposed of, tither more favourable accounts having been received from Ger many. St. Domingo is at Sas. to 345. 6d. ; and good ordinary Brazil at 335. to 355. per cwt. Rust.—There is no alteration in this market, proof Leewards are at I s. S id., buyers ; Jamaica are dull of sale. 1110 E.—This morning upwards of 5,700 bags of Java Rice was offered, and went off at front 10s. Gd. to I Is., and llt. 6d. per cwt. in bond. Norco Sa I.e.—Up to this morning 6,•400 chests have passed; prices quoted about the twine. The Hoe market is rim ; duty is culled 93,0001.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O' CL CK. The private letters by the express front Paris continue to be of a very favourable tendency, the leaving off of the French Three per Cents. were 65 buyers; the above letters from a highly respectable quarter, positively affirm that the offaira of Belgium are on the eve of being ad justed, and that the Prince of Orange will be appointed to govern them. A failure has takes place at Paris, but not of great magnitude. We understand that Count Pototylie has passed through Frankfort, bearing the recognition of Louis Philippe by the Austrian Government. The Dutch and Brazil Mails have arrived ; by th e for mer the Dutch funds have come lower, 49f. ; by th e lat ter we do not hear of any political news as yet, 1w the date she sailed, it not being a regular mail. Extract of a letter from Liege :—" The Dutch troops which left our citadel did not remain at Maastricht, but departed precipitately to join Count Heiliger's corps, which made a movement towards Holland on their way to Bois-le-Duo : fifteen hundred men only remain at Maastricht. It is said that the militia of Bois-le-Duc have refused to march to Holland, and they have declared for the Belgians. Cavalry and artillery are coming front Holland on Bois-le-Duc." We are again without any arrival of ship letters from any quarter, consequently we have little to say in regard to information. The news from Cadiz by the express this morning turns out, as we stated a few days since, the Governor has been dismissed, and so ended the wonderful plot. Although the Rentes come higher from Paris they have not had any effect on our Funds. Consuls, which left off yesterday at 861-1 for the account, opened at the same price, and for money 8614 with little doing as yet. This being pay-day fur the differences of the Account, we do not hear, as yet, of any defaulters of consequence. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.

The Freyhert, Clawson, from Plymouth to Dantzic, was stranded near Hela the 2d inst., and not expected to be got off. It has been suggested that the proposed en tertainment, to he given by the merchants of London to hit Mansry, in the Long Room of the Custom-house, should be postponed till the opening of the new London bridge, which is expected to take place about the same time as the Coronation. LORD BINGHAM AND MAJOR FITZGE RAL/L—We are requested to state, that those who were disappointed in obtaining the court Journal of Saturday list, October 9, containing full particulars of the late affair of honour between the above parties, including the whole of the Correspondence, may now obtain it, a second edition having been printed. The number for Saturday next, October 16, will contain a humorous article (from a high source) on the Miseries of living near a Garrison Town, and a very curious paper, giving notices of the na• tural issue of all the British Kings since the Conquest. Published for HENILY CoLnuart, by WILLIAM Thomas, at the Office, No. 19, Catherine.street, Strand, and sent, postage free, to all pacts of the kingdom. DEATH OF MR. BRODERICK.—We regret to have the painful duty of recording the death of that eminent and promising Counsel, Mr. Ilitontarcx, who died yesterday morning, at the Saracen's Head Hotel in this town. lie had long practised at the Old Bailey bar, and was looked upon by the Bench as a man of consider acumen and good understanding. It was expected he would shortly have been raised to the Bench. Ilia appears to have been the suppressed gout, caused, it is said, by taking too much of the medicine which is so generally administered—" colchicum." He suffered, it is said, very considerably, and for some days his life W.lti despaired We hear he was related to our respectable banker, W. G. !furrow, Esq., with whom be had been spending a few days.—Newark Times. REPEAL OF THE UNION.—We understand a requisition to the MAYoa, to call a meeting for this object wag in circulation in this city (Waterford), yester day, for the purpose of bring signed by the inhabitants. WaterArd Mail of Saturday. REPEAL OF lIIE UNION.--Yesterday there was a meeting of the Corporation of Shoemakers htld in their Hall, Wellington-quay. Mr. I. B. HYT►tfL, who is a member of the Guild, was in attendance, and gave notice of a motion for the next day of meeting, for a pe tition praying thr the repeal of the Union.—Dublin Morning Register. We can now state from unquestionable au thority, that the laming promotions in the Church are certain, and may be 'dually expected to appear in the Gazette:-1)r.

Of all those noble, honourable, and reverend individuals who ratted upon a late memorable occasion, we certainly think that 1)r. Priutrorra has brought his aportacy to the best market.—Cumberlaml Packet. The Lynchburg, Virginia paper, for the 19th of August, gives a long account of the execution of a man named Jones, and of his extraordinary conduct on the scaffold, in the following words :—" About three o'clock he signified to the Town Serjeant his readiness, for the last act of the affecting tragedy. Ills hands and feet were then, as is customary, tied together, the former be hind him, and the rope adjusted to the transverse beam of the gallows, when, with a calmness and indifference, equalled only by his firmness, he pulled off his shoes, stripped oft his coat, partially unbuttoned his vest, and unfastened the collar of his shirt, and then with an un shaken step mounted the scaffold !!" Now, of a verity, these are very extraordinary performances for a man in his situation, with his hands and feet tied; bot these Americans are such a marvellously clever people ! We once heard of a Kentucky man, whose amazing strength was attended with very fatal consequences. He was cut ting a slice of bread and butter, when the knife slipped, and cut himself in half, and two men behind him ! A CONVERT TO THE NEW POLICE.—A singular circumstance took place previous the lite Pan cras Meeting against the New Police, and at which the Chairman lost his watch and money. It appears that another gentleman had promised to attend as Chairman, but a day or two before be was robbed by a man-servant of 300/. He made an immediate Appeal to one of the ob noxious new Police, and this man, by his activity and prompt measures, succeeded in obtaining restitution of the whole of the lost treasure. Oae fact, they s. y, is worth fifty arguments, and after this service he candidly confessed he could not be so ungrateful as to appear at a meeting at which the merits of such men were to be denied. LAMENTABLE FANATICISM.—On Friday se'nnight were brought into the County Lunatic Asylum, at Bodmin, two brothers, the oldest 2l years of age, and the youngest aged 20, sons of Mr. SAUNDERS, a respect. able farmer of the pariah of Warleggan. A few night,' previous to their confinement, the one awoke his bedfellow, and greatly alarmed him, by saying that he had plucked out his right eye, and cast it from him, and that he was now prepared for Heaven ! The man with whom he slept immediately called the father, and a light having been procured, it was ascertained that such was the fact— the eye was completely forced out of its socket, and was found on the bed ! The next morning the other brother was discovered with a hatchet, and was about to cut off his right arm, stating that his left should not know what his right did ! ST. DUNSTAN'S CHURCH*, FLEET-STREET. —Nothing now remains of this venerable pile of architec ture besides the embattled wall fronting Fleet-street, with its clock and well-known figures, and the square tower in the passage leading to Clifford's Inn. The interior has been completely gutted, and the wall leading to the burial ground rased to its foundation, so that the burial-ground and the body of the church now form one common area. The square tower in Clifl4(Pa-inn-passage, being in sub stantial repair, and standing sufficiently back from the street, will be suffered to remain, and will form the tower of the new church. The wall in Fleet-street, with the clock, &c., is also to be left standing till the new church is completed. The bodies buried in vaults under the tahurch have been moved into large a vault which extends under Fleet street, and which, as soon as it is ascertained that no more bodies remain to be moved, will be blocked up. In the course of searching the vaults, the body of a fe male was found in remarkable preservation ; the coffin and shroud were completely decayed, but the body re mained perfect, even to the hair and teeth. The only change it had undergone was that the skin had become tough, like leather. utH SHOPS.--Mr. THOMAS SPRING, a publican, in the City-road, on being asked by the Beer Trade Committee, last &ession, according to their recently printed Report, " Has there been any increase in the number of public-houses which may be termed ' gin shops'?" replied, " I have been where I am twenty-six years, and I believe that every one of the houses in our parish which are, to use the Magistrates' own expressions, '.}luring and glaring gin-shops,' have all been established within the last fifteen or sixteen years. We have got a gin-spinner in our parish that drives his carriage and four in as great a style almost as his Majesty t' The Committee added, " Is hen proprietor of a com mon gin•shop?"

CORPORATION ENTERTAINMENT TO THE KING• The most active preparations are making for the grand civic entertainment to his Majesty. In our Court Circular on the subject of the answer of his Majesty a few words were omitted, in his Majesty' reply, of some interest. After having stated that he Would save the Corporation the trouble of sending to Brighton to her Majesty and ac cept the invitation for her, the King said, " I upon all oc casions wish to promote union in the Royal Family, and therefore the greater number of•them I see around me, the more gratifying it will he to me, and the more happy it will make her Majesty." It has been the practice, on occasion of the visit of a King to the City, to appoint a Christ's Hospital boy to address his Majesty " at such plat* asthettomtnittee shall appoint." This has been hitherto done by resolution from the Cor poration, but it is not, we understand, the intention of the Corporation to introduce that ceremony. The incon venience likely to result 'front detaining his Majesty on a cold November day in St. Paul's Church-yard, to listen to an oration, strikes the citizens as a very good excuse for such an omission. It is, however, in the power of the Governors of Christ's Hospital to add that to the other honours with which hie Majesty is to be received, and a meeting is to take place this day at the Hospital, to con. eider the propriety of adhering to ancient practice in that respect. His Majesty left it to the Corporation to fix the hour for the entertainment, and the hour of four was appointed, in order that the public might see the procession in all its splendour. It has been stated in many of the papers that the Lord Mayor is to meet the King at Temple-bar, and conduct him into the city and to Guildhall. This statement is erroneous. When a King enters the city of London, upon a visit, he enters without the ceremony of knocking at the gates at Temple-bar. He then goes on straight to Guildhall, where he is received by the Lord Mayor under the porch, and is presented by hie Lordship With the city sword, the Lord Mayor being the King's representative in the city, and the feast being his Majesty's feast, although paid for by the Corporation. The King then returns the sword to the Lord Mayor, who bears it before his Majesty to the Council Chamber, or other room appointed for the reception of his Majesty, where the Re corder of London reads an address in the name of the city. It is ut this period of the ceremony the King presents the Lord Mayor with a baronetcy. The following address of George IV., when Prince Regent, to Sir William Dom ville, on the occasion of the grand entertainment to the Monarchs in 1814, will be read with 601110 interest, It is a verbatim copy from the City Recorder... " It has always been the custom when the Sovereign paid a visit to his faithful city of London, to confer a mark of favour on its chief Magistrate. At no period could this be more properly done than on an occasion so advantageous to the country us the present, when the long.desited return of peace, which was the sole object of au our efforts, hat been so gloriously achieved by the valour of his Majesty's arms, in conjunction with those of his illustrious allies, nor could it be conferred on a person more truly worthy of it by every public and private virtue than your Lordship, and I have great satisfaction in hiving the power to confer a signal mark of the Royal favour upon you." His Royal Highness was then graciously pleased to order letters patent to be prepared for granting the dignity of a Baronet to the Lord Mayor, who hissed hands on the occasion. alir Samuel Pimlyer was Lord Mayor when King George 111. visited the city, on which occasion he conferred a baronetcy upon his Lordship, and the honour of knighthood upon his Lordship's brother and the two Sheriffs. On the day oldie approaching entertainment, the Lord Mayor's procession to Westminater will take place between nine And ten o'clock in the morning, and will commence, not at as has been the custom, but at the Man. sion-house, for the purpose of enabling his Lordship to return before two oouk to the Guildhall, to receive the King, who it is expected will leave St. James's fur the City between two and three o'clock, His Lordship will proceed direct to Bleckfriars-bridge, where he will go on board the city barge. It is his Lordship's anxious wish to sail from the Tower, in order that he might have the oportonity of passing from the Mansion-house, through his own ward, that of Langbourne, but there will he high , . water at London-bridge soon after nine o'clock, and the utmost difficulties and inconvenience uosit Attend the effort to go against the tide tinder the arches. All idea of gratifying the people of Langbourne-ward must therefore be given up, A great ►teal has been said about the probable expenses of the approaching entertainment; but it is believed they will not exceed those incurred when George M. dined at the Guildhall. Upon teat occasion the total charge was 1i,8981. 4a. a.d. I and it is confidently stated, that a more megniticent entertainment can now he given for that money. The prices of turtle cud were then tour mouely high, end the menthol of the Corporation had several of theta particular reasons fur employing p:►rticulsr persona to supply . the materials. In feet, the whole " con cern" was, what it nevex tan he again, a " downright job." Wine, wore sent in, and no question was asked about the quantity drunk. This is nut now the case in th e City. There is, in fact, a spy upon all the luxuries the Corporation, STOCKPORT POLITICAL UNION. On Monday evening last, pursuant to publinnotice to the gentlemen, tradesmen, and working duties, the third meeting of the Stockport Political Ultima was held at the Cotton Tree Inn, Heaton-lane, Beaton Norrite'' The principles of this Union are similar to timer, of the Bir mingham. The membere demon triennial Parlianwatsr universal suErage, and vote by ballot, to Ire absolutely ne ees,ary for regaining and securing the political rights of the British people. At the time appointed about five hun dred persona assembled, and Mr. Rayner, an eminent druggist of Stockport, wee, by acclamation, culled to the Chair. The purpose of the meeting was fully, but briefly, exp Lined by the Chairman, who regretted that some one if more importance than himself had not been called upon to fill the high situation to which he had been called. Ile knew that persons of the highest respectability for rank, wealth, and talent, in Stockport, were favourable to re form, and saw the necessity of it, hut they were deterred front being its open and avowed advocates front their con nection with Magistrates and the Aristocracy. After some discussion, resolutions were unanimously adopted, all fa vourable to radical reform. A General Committee was appointed to meet every Weduesday, and District Com mittees were appointed, to superintend the collections of ld. per week from the members of the Union, to defray the necessary expenses incurred in time furtherance of the great object in view. Several gentlemen from Manchester attended the meeting, and a letter was read from that tried champion of freedom, Mr. Alderman Prentice, in which that gentleman regretted that he could not attend the meeting, having an important engagement in Manchester that evedng. Several eloquent speeches were made by members of the Union, all tending to show the necessity of a thorough reform. A weaver, whose name we could not learn, but from appearance and language a true John Bull, was very sar castic upon the Earl of Wilton and his notions about edu cation. He wished the Duke of Wellington would - , come to Stockport, and sit by his side for a week, and see hint work at cotton for id. per hundred, by which labour be mould, if lie had constant employ, earn, by 16 hours' daily labour, 12s. it-week ; but his average earnings, for the last twelve months, did not amount to 9a. per week, The bread for his family was generally exhausted'hilltOday night, and Friday was a rigid fast in his housenot from principle, but neeessity. lie exhibited to the meeting Ida ragged coat, and declar'ed that three years since he had de. termined to give it away ; but, such were the times, he could not afford to do so, and thus appeared amorig them like the Patriarch Joseph, in a coat of Many colours.— (Truly this coat was patched with pieces of all colours of the rainbow.) It was observed at this meeting that his Grace the Duke of Bridgewater, se famed for his canals, had declared that the diffusion of knowledge among the middle and lower classes would eventually bring about a reform, and Secure the liberties of England. Never was a meeting more una nimous in opinion, or a greater regard for rational liberty displ iyed. Finally, a petition to the Kiel: was voted. similar to the one limn the Birmingham Political Union, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE EPSOM OCTOBER MEETING.••••(YESTERDAY.) Notwithstanding the exertions of Mr. Maherly and others, well- withers of this meeting, it appears mare than likely that it will not survive the present year. The in habitants have evinced it lark of that exertion and liberality which hitherto have made the October Meeting tolerably attractive, and, without which no race* can succeed. We have heard complaints, too, of a want of union and good management in collecting the public. money, which has been eubscribeti in too niggardly a fashion to enable the Stewards to make the stakes worth contesting. There must be a great and general improvement to give the meeting any popularity. The company yesterday was more numerous than we had anticipated, from the meagre appearance of the list; still it was thin, and any thing but fashionable. The only distinguished visitors were, their Highnesses the Prince and Princess De Cinilith Bentheun and family, who took Epsom in their mule to Brighton, to enable them to participate in one of our must popular national sports. Their Highnesses slept on Wednesday night at the Spread Eagle, Epsom, and left the rare ground for Brighton. The weather was remarkably fine, and the quality of the races vastly superior to their num ber.
