NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

FEWMARICRT, THURSDAY NIGHT.

The only race on which it is necessary to say any thing
in addition is the 1,000 guineas stakes, the Oaks betting
receiving an important influence from . its result. The
Filagree filly, or rather the Jersey stable, has always been
fashionable, and this mare for some time was a good fa-
vourite for the Oaks; fur the last three or four months;
however, she has been in the back ground, nor bad she
many friends this morning. The odds at startiug were 3
to 1 agst Zillah, 2 tm 1 agst Brambilli, 9 to 2 not
Shumla, 5 to 1 agst Filagree, and 8 to 1 agst Zelus --
Shumla made the running, followed closely by Zillah and
Brambilla, the Filagree filly being well up ; at the end of
the two-year-old course Shumla gave way, Filagree at the
same time coming to the front: the rest of the ground
was all in her favour, and she won cleverly by a length'.
Zillah and Brambilla ran a severe race for second, which
was won by Zillah with some difficulty. The winner was
rode by Robinson, Zillah by Arnull, Brambilla by J. Day,
Zelus by T. Robinson, Shumla by Conolly, Bertha by
Buckle, and Tartar by Wheatley.
The betting on the match between Bobatlilbi and Varna
was 6 and 7 to 4 on the former, who won in a canter, rode
by Arnull.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR. APRIL.

As was reported in our last, MarrA dust ransomed the
crops, more especially the wheata—of all, the most im-
portant. The present month was ushered in with cut-
ting frosts, and in many parts with an unusual depth of
snow for the season, The effects were instantaneous and
visible on all vegetation, in its itliage and tender shoots,
just beginning to feel the genial influence of spt lag. For-
tunately this unseasonable rigour was temporary, being.
very shortly succeeded by a genial aping warmth, with
the old April showers and soot!:-wosterly winds, the true'
pantees for all the crops in their existng state;—and,
should May, prove equally, genial, forgetting to make tr.. -
cow quake, great hap! may be entertained even she
late-sown and thin crops,

The natural gra,ses, pushed on by the fertiliesitg moil.
'tire of the see son, promise another great grass year.
Spring tares and seeds generally appear. of equal promise.
Grazing awl stall-feeding, ff oni the depression of in
last year, Irtve proved most unfortunate concerns I. tole

GLOM/LES OF BLOOD.—The blood which
cows in the veins of animals is not, as it seems, iatd-
firmly red liquid. It consists of small red globules, float-
ing in a transparent fluid called scrum. In different spi-•
ces these globules ditTer both in figure and in magnitude.
In m in and all animils which suckle their young, they are.
perfectly round fir spherical. - In birds and fishes they are
of nu oblong spheroidal form. In the human species, the
uneter of the globules is about the 40(10th of au inch.
Hence it follows, that in a drop of bl•.00d which woad
remain suspemh•tl fr.()) the point of a fine nee•tlr, there
must be about a million of globules Lardnrr's
