NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
(Farther particulars of Friday's Races.)
First Race.—The running was made by The Dey of Algiers
to the Ab. M. bottom, where Feather, who had been following,
closed his account," and was seen no more. Near the Duke's
Stand Joanina took up the running, and appeared to be win-
ning, but The Dey came again as fresh as a daisy, headed the
mare, and won cleverly by a length.
Second Race.—The Drama made play to the cords, where
she was headed by the two-yr-old, and beaten easily by a
length.

Third Race.—A short quick run race, won easy by a length.
Fourth Race.—The mare made running for about the dis-
tance, when The Dey went up, and ran head and head with
her two or three hundred yards, then got his neck in front, and
appeared to have the race in hand, but stopped close upon the
post, and was defeated by a neck.
Nursery Stakes.--Garry Owen took the lead, the others
following him.,so closely that we cannot say which laid second.
At the T. Y. C. poet Assissin took up the running, with Little
Wonder in attendance, and so they finished, the former win-
ning cleverly by a length. Ten-Pound-Note was third, Col.
Peel's roan colt fourth (both well up), Garry Owen fifth, Miss
Romer sixth, Raymond seventh, and Nicholas eighth. The
last three beaten off.

Sixth Race.—Bosphorus made all the running, and won by
half a length.
Seventh Race.—Flambeau waited the first quarter of a mile,
made running the remainder of the distance, and won by ten
lengths.
Capote's Match.—The Malibran filly took the lead to the
cords, where Capote ran by her, and wen by half a length.
Ten Sovs. Sweepstakes.—The Colonel filly was backed freely
at the commencement of the betting, but on Colonel Peel's
declaring to win with Negus, the odds changed to 5 to 4 agst
the Colonel filly (taken), and 6to 4 agst Negus (taken). The
latter was never headed, and won in a canter by three lengths.

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 31.—A letter from Beauraing of
the 21st of this month, says, " We were for a time ap-
prehensive that the crop of potatoes would entirely fail
in this part of the country, and we are agreeably sur-
prised at its having proved satisfactory almost every-
where. The crops of corn have been abundant and of
good quality, yet the prices are still high. If they do
not fall during the winter, it will be dfficult for many per-
sons to provide bread.
The temperature of the month of October this year,
as observed at Brussels, has been remarkable in many
respects, especially for the sudden transition from heat
to cold.
During the 10th the mercury (in Reaumur's ther-
mometer) had risen to 21 deg. 8 min. ; about 79} deg.
Fahrenheit.
On the 11th, at 2 o'clock in the morning, a storm,
accompanied with loud claps of thunder, arose. This
is the first time that the phenomenon has been ob-
served at the Observatery at Brussels during the month
of October.
After the 12th the mercury fell in a few days to
0.4 below Zero, and on the 99th, in the evening, there
was a pretty heavy fall of snow. The train from Brus-
sels to Liege was overtaken by a heavy fall of snow be-
tween Louvain and Tirlemont, which increased as it
approached Liege. The railway was soon covered,
and the train could scarcely advance, and the engine
being, as it seems, old and worn out, we cannot tell what
would have become of the train had it not found at
Landen a second locomotive, which had been judici-
ously sent to meet it.
FROM THE BANKS OF THE WARTHE, OCT. 15.
In what times do we live ? 'We have good reason to ask
this question, for what is passing among us is incredible in
our age, and quite contrary to the usual course of things.
What Prussian would have conceived a few years ago,that
an echo of the interdict would appear in his country, and
yet the first step is taken to bring down the dark cloud
upon us. On Sunday last, after high mass, notice was
given from the pulpit in our Church, and we are as-
sured at the same time, in all the Churches of the
Archbishopric, that the Church put on mourning, in
consequence of the removal of the great Shepherd, and
that consequently from that moment not a Church bell
should be heard, and that all the usual religious
pomp should be suspended. At the same time all the faith •
fel who desire to preserve the approbation of the Church,
are enjoined to take part in the transactions of their
life in the mourning of the Church. Since that day the
Church bells are mute. From the neighbourinc, country
we hear that some of the clergy have positively refused
to celebrate marriages, and will have this time considered
like the season of Lent before Easter ; others only re-
quire the parties to be married to refrain from all
merriment and festivity at the celebration of their mar-
riage. Music at funerals, or public processions, as
those which are usual among the Catholics, are for-
bidden. Those who know with what rejoicings the
Polish farmers are used to celebrate their marriages,
and how they go on those occasions through the town
with their village musicians, know how sensibily they
will feel this prohibition. What responsibility falls
on
those who have given occasion to this state of mot
•
The Archbishop is said to have written a letter to h
sister, in which he says that he has no complaint t.o
make respecting his residence ; that in some respect it
is preferable to the preceding. Other accounts, how-
ever, say that he is unwell, and has sent to this place
for medical advice.
