BRIGTITOY; JULY 26.-

,An wpleasantaffair, and.,such as might,lave had
a very fatal termination, took place last night at the
Castle Tavern. The ail of BAR.RTNORE, Lord G.
CAVENDISH, Mr. MELLISH, lA'DdMr. BOWES Dit,Y, ,
.had been for, sJrre time engrtged at -a,
when Some words ultimately took 'place between the
.Earl OEBARRYMORE and Mr. Howoirrn. The latter,
though we do not pretend to be fully acquainted with
the minute particulars of the dispute, on receiving a'
severe 'retort from the former,. returned it with a
blow. The. Gentlemen present, and therevere some
of the. very highest rank, now interfered brit the
qtiarrel had then proceeded to too greata length to
admit ,of .an amicable,
..adjustment. Post !chaises
were ,ordered, and the arl ofRRYMORE, aud.Mr.
.HELLISH, as hjs'Lordship'g second, got into one,
and Mr. HowonTn. and Sir J. SHELLEY occupied the •
other. Having reached Black Rock Bottom, about
a mile to the east of the town, the parties alighted,
when the. ground being, spaced out by the Seconds,,
the Earl of BARRYMORE and Mr. HOWORTIT dis-
charged a' pistol each, but,. providentially, without
effeet A second fire was demanded with some
warmth, by both Gentlemen ; but, happily! the se-
conds here very properly interposed, and,the dispute
terminated without bloodshed. Mr. H. the Sur-
geon, also attended the parties to the field, or, ra-
-ther, he so placed . himself as to be within call, in
case chirurgical assistance, in- ,the end, had been
necessary. '
Much has been said of this affair among all ranks
and descriptions of people. in . the town to-day, tho'
the, particulars of the quarrel are but little known.
When the Earl of BARRYMORE and Mr. HowoRTH
adjusted their difference in Black Rock Bottom, it
was betwien three and fotir.eclock in the morning,.
The Weather to-day has been exceedingly damp
mid unfavourable to the Races. The Race-Rill,
notwithstanding, had the most brilliant' display of
elegant Company we ever observed there. His .
Royal Highness drove his own barouche and six
spirited blood bays to the ground. The Duke and
Duchess of ST. ALBAN:s, who arrived here yester-,
day, werealso in their elegant barouchenn the Downs;
and the equipages of the Earl and Countess of BERXE-
LET, the 4arl and Countess of KENMARE, and
others, some hundreds in number, of the first rank
and consequence, gave interest and splendour to the
Downs. The Earl of EGREMONT, Lord DARLING-
TON, Sir JOHN and Lady LADE, Sir C. BURRELL,
the Hon. BERKELEY CRAVEN, Earl CRAVEN, the
Earl and Countess of SHREWSBURY, and all the ele-
gance, beauty, and fashion of the town were present.
The sports., were announced to commence.'at one.
o'clock, but from a copious shower of rain which
fell at that time, they were unavoidably postponed
until about twenty minutes before two, when the
following horses started for. the &maker's Stakes of

Peregrine was the favourite, the odds being only two. to
one in tavour of the field. That Cerberus Would be the win-
ner not the slightest apprehension was entertained:- ' The
'• knowing ones were completely taken in.

The other matches being drawn, the latter race
rot-winded the diversion of the day.; and truly,. had
there been any further matches for .decision, the
rain now once more began to descend in such tor-
rents, they must of necessity have beers postponed.

SATURDAY, JULY 26.

The uncommon fineness of the Weather here to-
day thas amply compensated -for the inclemency,of
,yesterday. The Steyne, as usual, during the whole
of the morning, exhibited a numerous confluence of
sportsmen, all busily engaged in betting. At half
past twelve o'clock, as on the preceding day, the
Prince drove his barouche and six to the ground, and,
tookhis:station about an hundred yards to the north
of the race stand, and on the same side of the course.
The Earl of BARRYMORE'S barouche and four, Mr.
MELLISH'S barouche and four, Sir JOHN LADE'S ba- ,
rodche and feur, the Duke of ST. ALBAN"fi bal'OUtillO
and four, &c. were all drawn up near the 'PRINCE'S.,
".Mort of the Gentlemen' this day drove their, dwrt.

Perhaps the prettiest heat,•and that which excited
the most lively interest in the spedatOrs, that ever
was run on any course, was the first of this race. Mir
nionette being drawn, the odds in favour. tif •the
PRINCE'S Barouche were five two. For the -Whole
nearly of the last mile the horses were in
.an exa&
parallel, both riders making play-, and straining every
net ve for the advantage, without being eiAbled to obi
taro it. Thus it continued to the winning post, when
the Judge loudly exclaimed "d dead heat !"
Tn less than' half an hour the horses started again,
bets 'now being nearly even. In turning to come
bOinewards, Jumper unfortunately bolted ; the rider,
however, ultimately brought him on, and, with dif.
ficulty, saved his.distance. For the third heat Jum-
per's rider was changed, the- former lad not behig
supposed to possess stitlicient 'strength 'to -manage
him. In this heat the horses came in well together;
the grand push was made between the distance and
winning posts;when Earonchk won easily by a
or more: Thusiterminated otie'of tie best contest- •
'ed day's sport we 'el* remember. All present were
indeed gratified in the highest degree. ..;1 few acci-
dents happened on the hill, but none of any serious
consequence. .
