MIMES YACHT CLUB.

This morning the boats belonging to the members of this club
will again sail for the first Silver Cup and Cover given thin season.
It will be in the recollection of our readers that, on the flit of last
month, this cup was sailed for; but, in consequence of there being
no wind, not one of the hosts was able to get down to the point
named for the boat to be fixed, round which the match vessels
were to pass; this day was accordingly agreed upon for the fresh
trial.

There were originally eight vessels entered to Nail ; but in the
new match only five appear to be entered. From the known good-
ness of the boats and their respective crews, much sport Is antici-
pated. The boats will be started by the Commodore at nine in the
morning, to sail round a boat moored off the canal below Gravesend
and back to Blackwell, inside a buoy motored off the Artichoke.
Each boat engaged in the match will have a white flag at her peak,
with a number of blue balls thereon corresponding with the num-
bers marked on the following list :
Vessels' names Owners. Tons. Places belong
1. Lady Louisa . Mr. T. Smith .13 . . Rotherhithe
2. Itryal Eagle . - C. Stokes - -II - . Ditto
3. Deception . It. White .18 - - Vauxhall
8. Greyhound . J. Vinck .21 . Rotherhithe
8. rat. George - . E. Cold .-12 . . Stangate.
The Favourite steam packet is engaged for the occasion, and will
leave, with the members of the club and their ladies on board, the
Tower stairs at eight o'clock in the morning, and accompany the
match the whole distance. attended by a band of music.
The savage owner of the bull,— in pride of victory over
Mr. Martin's efforts to convict the bull-baitera, brought
out the same bull to a field about two miles from Houns-
low, and there set on an unlimited number of dogs, who
Merely tore and devoured the living flesh from off the
bones of this poor defenceless victim of their cruelty.—

FRIDAY, JULY 8.
COTTON—There is a complete stagnation in the Cotton mar-
ket in London ; no sales whatever reported ; our quotations could
not be realised. The accounts from Liverpool are more unfavour-
able than for a length of time ; the purchases do not exceed 100
bags per day. It is rumoured in the Cotton market that Egyptian
Cotton has been sold at Liverpool at 13d. ' • and a large parcel of
Boweds, bought formerly at 17d. resold at 100.; but the report is
not believed. The accounts from Manchester and the adjacent die.
tricts state a great proportion of the manufacturers are diminishing
the quantity of Cotton manufactured very matetially ; many en-
tirely stop their works, until the raw article can be purchased at
moderate prices.
SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades lately has been so ex-
tensive, that few parcels of the new Sugars are left on the market ;
the show this morning is very indifferent, and the prices are again
lid. to Is. higher than last week. The purchases yesterday and this
forenoon are not extensive, on account chiefly of the small supply,
and it is likely this will continue for a week or two, on account of
the prevalence of easterly winds. The Refined market is not brisk ;
the.chief purchases are fine goods, taken by the grocers for the home
consumption of the country ; lumps and low goods are heavy, and
may be purchased a shade lower. Molasses 275. fid. brisk. The
inquiries after white Foreign Sugars continue extensive, but few
actual purchases are reported. One extensive public sale of yellow
Havannah Sugars. 1,361 chests, nearly all taken in; brown 375. I
and 3115.. yellow 395. a 41s. 6d., the whole of an uncommon fine
quality. By public sale this forenoon. 494 bags Benares Sugar,
good whits, but yellow tinge, sold at 375. and 375. 6d. The Ha-
vannah and Brazil Sugars were washed, and afford no criterion of
the market.

COFFEE.—The public sales of this week have gone off withowt
briskness, the fine descriptions fully impporting the cuueney ; the
ordinary qualities a shade lower. There were three public sales
this forenoon, consisting of 1.617 bags St. Domingo, 25 casks
Cuba, and 57 casks British Plantation; the latter too inconaider.
able to estimate the market : the Cuba, ordinary middling, sold at
755. ; the St. Domingo, very good even parcels, all taken in,
61s. 6d. and 02s. 6.1. We cannot, in consequence of the small
quantity sold, tate the market lower, but it is uncommonly heavy.
The East India Coffee to-day, 675 bags, good ordinary yellow
Cheribon, 645. 6d. a 655.
RUM, BRANDI', and HOLLANDS.—The Rum market is
more firm, but there are few sales to report. Proof Leeward,
sold at ls. 10d.; tine Jamaica for home consumption at 3s. ld.
Brandy Is still exceedingly. heavy ; parcels to arrive 3s. ; housed of
last year 3s. Id. a 3s. 24. Geneva pale Is. 10d.
SPICES.—There is a renewed inquiry for Nutmegs, but with-
out any advance in the prices; sales at 4s Id. and 4s. 4d. There
Is also a request for light Pepper at 50., but it cannot be pur-
chased at that prioe. All other Spices remain at nominal quota.
tions.

TOBACCO.—The briskness in the Tobacco market is exces-
sive ; the purchases lately reported are very extensive ; the prices
advance with great rapidity: after the most minute inquiry, we
find the quantity that has changed hands this week is nearly 2,W
Mids. at a further advance of id. per lb. ; thereare no parcels of the
most ordinary Virginia tobacco at 4Ad. and only small lots could be
purchased at 4td. The quotation in ifid. to Ifd. per lb.
SlLK.—There is little alteration since the sale at the India
House: in time instances a small premium has been obtained.
TA I.l.olV.—The market is more firm ; the new no:. a 3;m. fkl.
N DIGO.—The quotations are entirely nominal ; the sale com-
mences on Tuesday.

ABSENCE or Mixn.—A well-known gentleman ofl
Magdalen College, Cambridge, had taken his watch
from his pocket to mark the time he intended to boil an
egg for his breakfast, when a friend entering the room,
found him absorbed in some abstruse calculation, with the
egg in his hand, upon which he was intently looking, and
the watch supplying its place in the saucepan of boiling
water.
