TA TTERSA LL'S, JulAi• 24.
The visitors to the Subscription-room were by no mcars nwr..,
mutt, but highly respectable, and betting seems to have assun7e,s,
more cheerful position than for some time past. Are cannot say
but the business of the day was flat on horses in general; ye.,,,
witnessed a. vend very spirited engagetisenta, particularly on Bel.
zoni and Fanny, the latter claiming the most attention. The otric,
horses nearly all took a very material change in the odds ag,,,,in,:
them, some retrograding and others advancing. Offer. Isst week
were made at It to I against Belzoni, and no takers. To.day, ;.

various other toms. Bedlamite stood, as before, at the opening of
sltc room, at II to I, but soon moved up to 711 to 1 option hits, in
which price several small bets were made. Brother to FaLty,

COWES REGATTA.
The Regatta which takes place on August the 10th, promises
be a very interesting aid attractive spectacle; in addition to rise
amusements already advertised, a sailing match by eighteen fit:
boats belonging to our watermen, is in contemplation, and also a
punt race by youths under fourteen years of age. The Falco',
expected to sail again directly for a trap to Falmouth and back. I
regret to have to conclude m♦ letter with noticing the death of a
most interesting child, who has been residing here some time, the
lion. Louisa Georgiana Flowers, youngest daughter of Viscount
Ashbrook, who died on the 18th inst. in the sixth year of her age.
The following Is the order for the race as finally settled :—A gold
cup of the value of one hundred pounds. The course far the gold
cup by order of the Stewards is finally settled to be as followit—
The vessels will start at half•past nine o'clock, A. M. precrsely, from
a cutter in Cowes roads, stationed off the Castle, to sail round a
vessel off' Yarmouth, leaving it on the starboard hand, thence
round the buoy of the Spit off' South Sea Castle, leaving It on the
starboard hand, and both the black buoys of the middle hank in
returning on the larboard baud. On arriving at Cowes roads, the
vessels will sail round the starting cutter, which is to be passed on
the larboard side. Vessels on the larboard tack to give way for
those on the starboart:, and any vessel running foul of another shall
lose the race.

GRAWiI ROWlife Marcit TUX DOWNH.—One of these
very interesting scenes will take place shortly, under the patronage
of the Earl of.Liaerpool, Lord Carrington; and the nobility and
the principal inhabitants of Deal and Widmer. A subscription for
the prizes has been commenced, and Is already handsomely fillicg
up. Sixteen beautiful fast rowing galleys will be entered, three of
which, of the finest specimen of the art of building, are now coin,
pleting, expressly for the match. Each boat, that is not distanced,
will receive a prize, so that no stimulus to exertion will be wan.
ing. The boati will row a distance of about six miles, aid' tO give
a complete view to the spectators, the line marked out will be In the
form of a half moon. lhe first,rate rowers will be selected, and it
is expected that it will form a very great point of attraction, and
will be ranked as one of the first ms:ches of the kind in the king.
dom. A finer field of expanse of ocean than the Downs affords,
could not 'be chosen—capable at once to give effect to the match,
and to afford a complete and unimpeded gratification to the spec.
tators. The match is fixed for the leth of August.
Mr. R. Jessope, of Blackheath, undertook yesterday, for one
hundred sovereigns, to ride his roan golloway two miles in three
minutes and three seconds, on two miles of
_lucked road between
Lewisham and Bromley. The galloway performed the fire mile
in three minutes and one second, and the second mile in one miouta
and two seconds, winning by one second.

CORN-EXCIIANGE, 31oxiter, Juvr 24.
Our market continues to be very moderately supplied with Eng.
lisp grain, but extensive arrivals of Foreign Wheat and Oats are
daily coming in. We bad a brisk demand for tine English Wheat,
at an advance of 2s. per quarter on the currency of last blonder,
and sonic large sales were effected this morning of the best sort► of
foreign. Barley, Oats, and Beans were extremely heavy sale. and
the prices of last week were barely maintained today. Peas come
very sparingly to hand, and we have to note to-day an increase in
the prices from last Monday, of 4s. to .51. per quarter on both sins
and grey.

SMITHFIELD, SIoxDAT, Jt LV 24.
There is a large market of Beasts at Smithfield this morning, and
the trade Is very brisk for the best qualities, which readily go off
at ss. per stone. Sheep and Lambs are also very numerous, parti-
cularly the latter ; and the change of weather having sent many
purchasers for Sheep into the Market, the best sizable wethem are
quickly disposed of at le. &I. while the large Lincolns realise 4.. 2d.
The business for Lamb is rather heavy, and we have in conse-
quence to report a decline of 4d. on the best, and rid. on the mid-
dling ones. Calves are not here so abundant as of late, and the de-
mand continuing good, the very choicest sell at 4d. advance on the
terms of Monday last. On the whole, much business has been
transacted to-day, and excepting a few town-end Cows, and some
inferior Lambs, we look for a general clearance.
To sink the offal, pee atone of SIN.
