BRUSSELS, JULY 22.—The first day of the races sent off
yesterday flatly, partly owing to the unfortunate state of the
weather, and partly to the small number of entries. With the
exception of Count Duva;'s Erivan (bred by the Prince of
Orange), and M. Hugue'.s Co.-iolanus, there was not' a single
native horse, nor does it appear that any colts of merit are
coming forward. A plate for 1001. for horses of all countries,
was sharply contested between Lord Seymour's Moralto,
and the Vervier Society's three-year old cult Waverer (brother
to Plenipo). The latter made all the runni:yg, And won cle-
verly by half a length. Some wag entered a long-tailed cart-
horse, with a boy equipped in a blouse by way of ,a jockey.
The poor animal seemed to enjoy the joke much less- than the
spectators. The Princes of Cobourg occupied the Royal
Stand, Their Majesties have not yet returned.

A Trotting Sweepstakes will take place on Tuesday, August
2, over the same Course as this and last year's Lee Races h-ir

added to a purse of gold, open for any horse, mare, or gelding,
never having won; to carry lOst. 71b. each. Heats as above.
The winner to be sold far .10/., if demanded. All liorces to
be shown and entered at the Tiger's Head, Lee, Kent, on the
day previous, between four ynd seven o'clock.

IVglys FROM THE HILLS.—A correspondent of the Dumfries-
Courier says, grouse, moor-partridges, blackcocks, and all,
promise a rich reward to such as meditate indulging the bump
of destructiveness on the 12. th proximo. The herds, with few
exceptions, speak in the warm; t terms of the crop of wings.
Moor game, in particular, was neve- known to be more plentiful,
GAME PROSTECTS OF THE SEASON.-Young grouse have
been for some time upon the wing; as, however, the weather
was particularly unfavourable during the breeding season in
April, it is feared the birds will not be abunc'atit. The great,
or general hatch of partrides takes place about the middle of
June, and as a month must elapse from that time
vfore the
young are able to fly, it is impossible just yet to speok with
absolute certainty as to numbers. The two last months, how-
ever, being dry and warm, were particularly favourable to lay-
ing and incubation, and abundant coveys of partridges may be
expected. A cold humid atmosphere is highly unfavouratito
to the propagation of these birds, and if rain falls in suck
quantities as to fill the ditches, and cause the rivers and'
streams to overflow, general destruction cannot fail to ensue.
Pheasants are affected by the weather in the same way as part-
ridges, but not to such an extent, since they frequently retire
to woods and plantations for the purpose of breeding ; it is
very probable that they also will be plentiful. The great
quantity of rain which fell in the early part of the spring,
caused some destruction among the young hares, many of
which were found dead in the low inundated districts; in the
higher ones they did not of course sustain any injury, and if
leverets are scarce, it is to be apprehended that it arises rather
from human depredation than the weather. The market is
now by law open for hares all the year round, and from the
beginning of March to the present time leverets could be pur-
chased in all parts of the kingdom, and that at a very reason-
ablo price. The market being always open has given full
stimulus to the exertions of the poacher, and it is to his efforts
that the scud.), of this animal in the fields must be attributed.

The Earl of Lauderdale still remains in seclusion in
he Highlands of Scotland. That veteran statesman expressed
an intention of again visiting London at the commencement
of the Parliamentary session, but family affairs kept bins away.
Earl Grey, and his only unmarried daughter, Lady
Gere:eiana, returned to Berkeley-square on Tuesday, from a
visit to ,he Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn at Bentley
Priory, in order to be present at the nuptials of the Hon.
Col. Grey and aliss Caroline Farquhar, sister to Sir Walter
Rockliffe Farquhar, Bart., which were solemnized on that
day. The Noble Earl, who is in the enjoyment apparently of
excellent health, met his Noble Friends the Duke and Duchess
at the Priory.
KING'S THEATRE.—Mademoiselle Carlotta Grisi,
the fascinating danseuse and eaneotrice, takes her benefit this
evening, when the Puritani is to be performed, with a selection
from La Provo, and a variety of other vocal and terpsichorean
amusements.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—A numerous meeting
of the Shareholders, or new Renters, was held in the Seloon, to
receive the Report of a Committee appointed at a meetitg held
on the 16th inst. (the Earl of Glengall in the Chair), to confer
with the Sub-Committee, and for other business. Two gen-
tlemen were proposed as Trustees, namely, W. Flower, Esq.,
of Bedford-place, and Mr. Waring. The first-named having
a majority was elected. Major Johnstone read the Report of
the Committee, which stated that the only reduction which
could be effected in the rental of the theatre, which was now
unlet, was by the ground landlord, the bondholders and the
renters respectively conceding a portion of their claims, but the
Committee had carefully abstained from making any specific
sum. A long and desultory discussion took place on a motion
of Mr. Arden, seconded by Mr. Spencer, that the renters
should, for the ensuing seven years, agree to accept a shilling
a night, about 7501., in order to reduce the iental.
MONEY MARKET—(WEDNESDAY EVENING.)
—Much further information seems to be required before the
policy of the Bank of England in the late advance et' the rate
of discount can be perfectly understood by the monitel. inte-
rest. The Directors certainly appear, in the estimaton of
eempetent judges, to have committed a considerable errot in
the :rode of proceeding, if it was their intention by it to
make motley scarce, inasmuch as there was a cause at work,
of the operation of which they ought to have been fully
aware, and by which they were almost certain to be coun-
teracted. We allude to the peculiar situation of the Consol
Market, and the facility thereby afforded of raising money on
very favourable terms. The transactions of the Stock Ex-
change in regard to money are always to be distioguished front
those connected with commercial affairs, as they are rep-
leted very often upon .bases wholly different, and de-
pend in great measure upon the scarcity or otherwise
e; the stocks on which the jobbers are in the practice of
leri:•ng their money. Now, it has happened that a
singular scarcity of Consols has existed for some time
past, so ,such so that money could frequently be ob-
tained upon if at the rate of I per cent. This state of
things, as soon as the yessure upon commercial bills began
to be felt, could not escape the observation of the more intelli-
gent discount-brokers, who' have found it worth their while to
borrow Consuls for the sole perpcse of raising money for other
4
purposes, and to allow 1 per cent fin" the loan ; thus giving to
the holder of the stock per cent.
per Annum, instead of 3 per
per cent. This has been done to an extraordinary extent,
lied the effect has been, as stated, to keel, down the value
o; motley in the face of the Bank notice. If the Direc-
tors, then, really wanted to bring on a scarcity, they should
first have urged on the Minister a funding of Exchecp..:er bills,
so as to create a better supply of stock, and to bring the rate
of money at the Stock Exchange to the same level as else-
where. As they have not done this, the only conclusion is
that they are willing to sacrifice their own discount business,
and care little what the state of the money market is,
provided no call is made upon them for further iceues.
Obscure hints are abroad, and receive attection in the imme-
diate circle of Bank connexion, that the ads rice to 43. Per
cent. ie intended by any meet's to be a final measnre,
but that
the Directors, unless.the exchanges take a favone ehle turn,
intend to go on to 5 per cent., and even to avail thinaselves
of a clause in the new charter by
which they arc ;Wowed
to raise the rate to 6 per cent. In this struggle, bows ver,
the mixed character of a batik of issue and a bank of depo sit
is likely to interpose considerable difficulties in their way.
Those who have accounts in. the Bank of England can
draw out notes if they please to the full extent of them, and
the Directors may at length have practical proof of that truth
against which they have always, contended, that the deposits
are identical with circulation. The duty they have to perform
was never a more responsible one than at the present time,
and it is plain that a period is approaching when some change
of system will he forced upon the administration of that es-
tablishment.—Morning Paper.
