BRIGHTON RACES,

DRIGIRTOX, SATURDAY NIORT.
The number of arrivals since our last have been unpre-
cedentedlv great ; at every hour of the day and night, car-
riages anti chaises have been pouring in in rapid succession,
Upwards of twenty coaches came in yesterday, and as tnany
to-day, loaded with passengers; and we are assured that
as many more could not have brought more than a portion
of those who have•been left behind for want of conveyances.
To our own knowledge, more than one hundred were left
behind at the Elephant and Castle on Thursday last. The
coaches from Oxford, Southampton, Lewes, Worthing, &c.
are also daily booked full; and we feel justified in asserting
that the present will equal, if not surpass, all preceding
meetings in the number and respectability of its visitors.—
The uattnal consequence of this influx of company is, that
the stt'eets, the libraries, and the different promenades, have
been crowded to a degree almost without parallel. Lu-
combe's and Tuppen's libraries are filled every evening;
at the former, the singers are Mr. and the Misses Henry,
and Matter Burgett—at the other, Mr. Yarnold and Miss
Weaver • noue of whom, we must allow, are beyond the
respectable.
Ireland's Gardens have been very liberally ratroniztd.
On Thursday there was a norand public breakfast, under
the auspices of her Grace the Duchess of Richmond, who
was present with her lovely children ; his Grace the Duke
of Argyll and the Ladies Paget were also present, and up-
wards of six hundred fashionables. The excilent band of
the sill Hussars, by the permission of Lord Wm. Russell,
I.lliyud during the fete, which went ofFwith such eclat that
it will be repeated next Siturday, under the patronage of
the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Duke of Argyll, &c.
There will be a gala and fireworks each night of the Races.
A few days ago it was thought here that his RoyalHigh-
nes.; the Duke ofYotk would harcht en sufficiently recovered
to attend our tact!, but we regret tq find that this expects-
lion will not be raalizeth, the Royal physicians having re-
commended his Royal flightless to continue for thepresent
at Brompton. It would be ungrateful to say that we do
net miss his Royal Highness, who has been our great
patron for a long peried, and charmed all classes by his
kindness and affability.
We have been enabled to collect a more complete list of
the company than we gave in our last, by which it will be
seen that the attendance of the Nobility ar.d Gentry is any
thing but small. Most of the distinguished individual,
whose names appear in the following account were on the
race-course today, and arc expected - to remain here for
some days.
Duke of Argyll, Duke and Duchess of Richmond, the Ladies
Paget, Earls Egremont, Mouth, Lisburn. Coventry, Mount.

J. Fitzroy; Ladies Coventry, MouutcharleA, Snmeroet, Barn: rd,

About twelve o'clock all ranks began to move towards
the Dawns, the reads leading to which represented moving
masses of people. Dy one o clock, that part appropriated
for thißace-Course wan literally covered—each side of the
course was lined with equipages of every specks, while
the space between them and the railing waa occupied by
the pedestrian part of the company. Altogether, a more
imposing or animatt d scene could not have been imagined.
The;day's spurt was very fine, and gave ample satisfac-
tion to all present. TI c following is a correct statement,
by which it will be seen that the Whalebone horses main-
tained the bight character which their previous performances
have obtained for them.

abreast 3 or 4 lengths behind, and Dahlia last by 50 yards. At the
turn Stumps and Pan got abreast of Whipcord, and immediately
after Dahlia got up the pace then became treti.endoun, and Whip-
cord was soon beat off ; the rest of the ground was run nearly head
and head between the three till they were within a few strides,
when Stumps made a grand push, and carried off the stakes by
about halt a length, but not without difficulty, which was owing to
the heavy weight he careied. Aronhi rcdc the whims, G. Dockeray

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, JULY :IL

There have been cone sales made here this day, as well as yeeter•
day, and without any deehne in the prices, but without any prMits
to the manufacturers ; on the contrary, 1 believe, some sacrifice has
been mode on their part, in order to continue working their fac-
tories; and to prevent, as far as they can, any inercess of pauper-
ism, which must always exist here in proportion to the want of cm-
ployment. It is considered a favourable symptom of the revival if
trade that any sales have been effected ; and some persons, in their
laudable anxiety for returning prosperity, give, I fear, too flattering
an account of the prices nt which these sales have been made. It
may, 1 believe, with truth be stated, tilet there has been no declire
of prices, and that the sales were rather ere.n.ivc, considering the
want of confidence which prevails.
Some of die manufacturers in this neighbourhood, instead of dis.
charging any of their men, have reduced tlet number of working
deka ; and by this means continued to all a portion of wages,
which preserves them from actual want.
There arc no disturbances in this town, nor its vicinity. There
was an attempt last night to get up a alerting of the unemployed
tradesmen at Stockport, but the number which collected were not
mere than from one to two hundred, anti even these did not form
into a regular body, or appuiet a Chairman neither did I hear that
any resolutions were proposed for the occasion. The people pre.
sent formed into little groups, and talked over as many subjects
almost as there were persons present ; but po person had the hardi-
hood even to suggest any intemperate measures; they were all,
probably, deterred by the arrest of one of their associates, a man
of the name of Whitelege, who was taken up on Thursday, and
committed to Uhe:der gaol. I understand the chew against hint
is, that he was present at the late meeting in lilverpoW,when the ad-
vantage of the pike over the musket was introduced as a subject of
discussion. The house of a man of the name of Blisekehaw, at
Stockport, was yesterday searched by the constable; twenty-six
numbers of Paine,: Rights of Mon were found there, and taken
possession of. An edition of this work is now selling in Man-
chester for one penny a copy. In the same house, as a fit companion
to the works of Paine, was a parody on &drum by Cathie, which
altered the same fate as its companion,
We are hcppy to say, that there has beep-liiis week a slight

shade of immoralist in the commercial affairsof this town (men.

this town and Its immediate n.igl.bourhood, though still rely deft.

months pad trade has been carrying On to loss ; but we are told by
