It will be seen on a review of the last week's sport
at Newmarket that the legitimate racing season closed
with a strength of patronage and a display of generous
rivalry which augur well for the future. Many of the
contests were remarkably 'close and severe ; and, in
short, the Houghton Meeting, with its peculiar features
of attraction, produced by hay and corn considerations,
was never more interesting and successful.
To Mr. Clark, the judge, Mr. Manning, the clerk of
the scales, Mr. Hibburd, the starter, and Mr. Starling,
the keeper of the course, all praise is due for the very
efficient performance of their respective duties.
Messrs: Church and Dawson are also deserving of no
small share of commendation—the railway arrange-
ments under their personal superintendence were carried
out in the most satisfactory manner possible.

ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS IN FRANCE.—We learn from
a Boulogne correspondent that the Postmaster there has
received orders not to deliver the English newspapers
till after twelve o'clock. It is uncertain whether these
orders are a mere officious piece of meddling, on the part
of the Sous-Prefect, or whether he acts by higher orders.
The intente cordiale of the French Government with
England certainly does not extend to English news-
papers. The English residents at Boulogne, not accus-
tomed to such restrictions on their news-loving proper-
Agee, we grumbling pretty loudly,
