NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING At UTlNG.—(Concluded.)

Naw*AaagT, THURSDAY NIGINT.
The Heath wags not very numerously attended this morning, many of
the visitors having left. Ills Royal Highness the Duke of York took his
departure at half-past eight this morning to attend the House of Lords,
and this evening the Duke of Richmond, Lords Duuwich and Anson,
Colonel Udny, Mr. Vanslttart, ke. also left for town. . .

The sport to-day was very fair, but not of ouch importance as to justify
a detailed account. We Audi confine ourselves to a few particulars. The
first race, between the 2 Woful cults, was won cleverly by a length. sto 4
on the Duke of Grafton's. The winner rode by Conolly, the other by
Barnard. The two-year-old race was well contested, and won by only
half a length. I I to Son Orville, and 7to 4 against Nonsu!t, who was
rode by Wheatley, Orville by Robinson, and Sparkler by young Buckle.
I The race for 501. for all ages was excellent, disputed between Brother to
Skiff, Dumps, and Firot Fly, and was decided in favour of the former by a
neck only ; the winner rode by Dockeray, Dumps by Wheatley, First Fly
by CUR, Emerald by a lad, Catalitte by Robinson, Fleance by Roberto,
Venus by young Buckle, and Tory by a lad ; the last eliN not placed. The
match between Ina (rode by Armin), and 1.411 as (Barnard), was won by a
length cleverly. High odds against the winner. Rau' walked over for
the Jockey Club Plate.
Thus have terminated the three Spring Meetings, In the course of which
his Grace of Grafton has had his usual good fortune, having won, in
stakes and matches (Including forfeits). 5,5261. 10s. Mr. Wortley has
I been pretty fortunate, having won upwards of 3,000!.
Many of the Derby and Oaks have left us, and by this time are at
Epsom ; and, as these races are so very near at hand, a few doting re-
marks may not he superfluous.
The running this week has, In our opinion, left the Duke of Grafton's
Dervlse (the winner of the 2,000 guineas Stakes) decidedly the bent public
horse. Lord Anson's Aladdin colt, which was the favourite for the 2,0014
having once beaten Recruit (who has since run second In a field of
horses), and ran a dead heat with Pigmy; the Milton's filly, who was beat
off a long way In the '2,000 guineas Stakes, wino her match In a canter—
all which looks well for Derv's,. The Newmarket nags are very near to-
gether. There has been nothing like a superior one shown, and the York-
Aire division will say, during the race, " what's yan which is yan 1" If
Panic Is a little out of the common he'll win ; but Trinculo and Hougo-
mont are very treacherous horses ' • Fleance was very near them in the
Craven, and this running led Lord Orford quite wrong with Swims Guide ;
Fleance has been beat by Rufus, who has also been beat, and the former
was likewise beat in a 501. plate, the winner to be sold fur 200. Addy
ought to have won the Craven in a canter.
There will be a greater number start for the Derby than for many years
past, and we think we may give the following as those who are certain to
do so :

Duke of Grafton's Dervise, Lord Lowther's Monarch, Lord Lowther's
Scamper, Lord Lowther', Waterman ; Lord Verulam's The Moslem, Lord
Exeter's Advance colt, Mr. Marriott's Clothier; Mr. Apelles, Mr.
Mill's Panic, Mr. Windham's brother to Twatty, Mr. Wyndham's Centaur
colt, Mr. Wadbam Wyndbam's Dorina colt, Mr. Barnard', Baron Nun.
chausen, Mr. Goddard's Viscountess colt, Mr. Picktord'a The Captain,
Mr. Forth's Premier, Mr. Wilson's Pluto colt, Mr. Thornhill's The
General, Mr. Rush's Carhago, Mr. Powlett'a Truth !Cation colt), Mr.
Heathcote's Miss Syntax colt, and Mr. West's Shakspeare.

MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Cetreent.l
FRIDAY, MAY 12.
COTTON.—The Cotton market has been very heavy this week ; the
purchases here being confined to small parcels of Surats for export at sid.
to bid. The accounts from Liverpool are variable : the latest intelligence
state the market ratter improving; 2,000 bags were sold on Wednesday at
firm puke*.
SUGAR.—The market having been nearly cleared of good Sugars, there
has been little doing ; the buyers having supplied their immediate wants,
they now wait for further supplies ; the market generally may be stated
languid ; the prices unvaried. The low and middling descriptions of Re-
fined goods continue in request, and such le still the scarcity, that an ad-
vance of Is. a 2a. has been obtained; they are chiefly bought for crashing.
The Grocers are also purchasing more considerably for the home con-
sumption of the country, and the market generally looks more firm. Mo.
lasses are heavy at 255. ; sales of West India at 245. Foreign Sugars con.
tinue neglected. The good East India Sugars are la demand to-day, on
account of the scarcity of coloury Muscovades.
COFFEE.—Ths Coffee market has fallen considerably; the finer de-
scriptions of Jamaica may be stated 2s. a Ss. lower; Brazil Is.. 21.: the
I latter, good ordinary, having sold in considerable parcels at 465. a 47r.
The taro public sales of Coffee to-day went oft heavily, and the small pro-
portion sold went at lower prices ; middling Dutch ;Or. a 71s. ordinary
middling 655. ; the St. Domingo and Brazil Coffees were damaged, but
they also sold low; good ordinary Porto Rico 51s. fine hue ordinary 655.
The Coffee market this week may be sashed generally 2.. a 4e. lower, with
a heavy appearance ; the St. Domingo Is still nominally 4;s. a 40s.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The only purchases of Rum are
two parcels a little above proof, at 2s. a 2s. Id. per imperial gallon.
Brandies are now held with much firmness, particularly by the French
houses, on account of the unfavourable accounts of the vines ; a .mall
public sale took place yesterday, when an advance of fully 2d. per gallon
was realised; Brandy of is2s sold Js Id. per old measure i the holders
generally refuse to sell : some parcels Myer at 3d. advance, but we believe
no purchases by private contract have been effected. In Geneva there
are no sales to report.
TOBACCO.—There are several parcels of Tobacco reported to be sold,
but they are inconsiderable In quantity ; no variation lu the price. can be
stated ; 150 ordinary Virginia 31d. a hid.
HOPS.—The accounts from the Hop Plantations are very unfavourable
this morning i the Plant has assumed a very unhealthy appearance, yel-
low colour, and a further Increase of the Ilea; the last sale of Hops of
1826 was M. but we believe to-day there are no sellers. 1
TALLOW and HEMP.—The Tallow market le heavy, 325. 6d. ; Hemp
411. 10s.
