NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.

NEWMAREET, TUESDAY NrnHT.
The races to-day have gone off much better than was
expected, and, contrary to the opinion expressed in our
last, all four appointed were run.
On the conclusion of the running, the company assem-
bled on the exercise ground, according to custom, when a
little business was done on the St. Leger Stakes, at odds,
which varied but in a very trifling degree from our last
statement; the evening did not produce any alteration—we
must therefore refer to our Monday's betting.
The Duke of Grafton has sold his filly, Lilias, to Mr.
Greville, who has, this evening, matched her for 50 sorts.
against Lord Verulant's Upas, to run the T.Y.C., Lilias
carrying Bst. 41h., and Upas Bst. 21b.
The Jockey Club dinner was attended by—
firs Grace the Duke of Grafton, Lord George Cavendish. Lord
George Brntinck, Lord Anson, Lord Orford, Lord Milton, sir
John Shelley, Colonel Russell. Colonel Udny. Christ. IVilson,

Mr. NVyndl4ni'; gr. c. Stump., 4 yrs -
Mr. 11. Scott's ch. f. Wings, 4 yrs - - -
The betting on this race was not heavy, as few were in-
clined to bet against Stumps, who was considered safe ; the
odds .were 4tol on him. The filly went off with the lead,
and maintained it to the Duke's Stand, when Stumps came
in front, kept it, and won cagy. Rode by Arnull, and
Wings by Robinson.
Match-50 sous. T.Y.C.
Duke of Grafton's Cremona, Ost. - . 1
Mr. Grevilles Skirmisher, 13.4. 51b. -
The odds in this match, in consequence of winning the
match with M'amba, were on Skirmisher at sto 4. Skir-
misher made very good running at a bustling pace, till
within a short distance of ending, when Cremona got up,
passed him in style, and won cleverly by a length. Buckle
rode the winner, and Arnull, Skirmisher.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Turban, and 7to 4 agst Rigmarole.
Lord Exeter's took the lead at star;ing, at a strong pace,
very closely followed by the others, till they made the
New Ground, when the whole lot got together; thus they
continued, and ever? -Stride of the remaining ground was
disputed at the top of
.their speed; but when at home, the
Judge gave the race to Turban by half a length. We con-
sider it to be the best run race of the week. The winner
and Lord Exeter's were rode by lads, Rigmarole by Ed-
wards, and Wombs by young Frank Buckle.

STATE OF TRADE.

SCOT I. A ND.—Long and severe as the distress has been
in this part of the country, instead of any improvement, it
is still on the increase, not only here, but in all manufac-
turing towns dependent on Glasgow. For some years
the Verve' Carrier took on an average from 2501. to
3001. a week to that town ; but when the- disastrous
effects of the re-action of the currency b..gan to be felt,
he was reduced to 401., and now he seldom takes out
above .201. a week. There are about 356 weavers in
Darrel. On Wednesday last the Darvel Carrier, besides
the money from one public-spirited manufacturer formerly
mentioned, had only V. 1 Is. The Newmilns-Carrier had
formerly sufficient work for three horses a week, and he
now finds one sufficient. Ile used to take 0ut.120 to ISO
webs a week, and on Wednesday last departed with only
two. Large and liberal as the subscriptions have been,
the demands being so long and so heavy, the funds are
nearly exhausted. In many places a great addition has
been made to the list of common paupers. Numbers
of old people who were able to do a little for themselves,
and were helped by their children.or friends, can now get
no work, and their assistants being also out of employment,
they have been obliged to appeal teethe parish. The cot-
ton works and power-loom factories are in the same dull
state they have been in for three months past.—Glusg-ore
Fire Press.
We are extremely sorry to have to observe that there is
at present a very gloomy keting amongst commercial men
in this district, with respect to the condition of trade. On
all sides we hear of mills being put to work shorter time,
or altogether shut up, and nevertheless prices, both oi
goods and yarns, seem to get lower and lower. There have
been, it is true, of late fewer insolvencies declared, but this
is because most of the weaker houses had already suspended.
The losses which even persons of the best property have
been and are experiencing, are however most serious, and
we fear that there are yet many houses who will be unable
to weather the storm. Up to this time there are no fa-
vourable symptoms observable in business, and the prospect,
as regards the condition and employment of the labouring
classes is, we regret to say, most disheartening.--3tan-
chester Merzury.
With feelings of sorrow, which may be much better
conceived than described, do we contemplate the present
state of things in this commercial district; and look forward
to the probable future with the most gloomy apprehensions.
Front every information we have been able to collect from
our own immediate neighbourhood, and from Halifax,
Huddersfield, and the country round, business has yet re-
ceived no increase of activity, but the same stagnation per-
vades every branch of our trade. Gronpes of unemployed
workmen meet our eyes at every corner, and the distress of
the labouring classes is of course daily increasing. In the
mean time, the capitals-of their employers arc continually
exhausting, and without speedy alteration in the demand
for goods, it is to be feared that many of them will be com-
pelled to deprive their workmen even of the little employ-
ment they now Afton' them. For that little the wages re-
ceived are scarcely adequate to procure a scanty pittance of
bread for the labourers and their families.—Wakefield
Journal.
