London, England, 1838-10-20 00:00:00

On Thursday came into harbour the Numa transport.

We have had scarcely anything but a succession of westerly
gales throughout the week. The Edinburgh, 74, was paid
wages yesterday, and will most probably sail to-morrow, should
not the news by the Great Western, of Lord Durham's re-
signation, render a longer stay unnecessary. The Magicienne,
24, and Camelion, 10, are the next ships to be commissioned.

Plate.—Paraguay made the running with Surprise and
Sir Felix in attendance on her, till near the cords, where they
dropped off, leaving the race to Olio, Voluptuary, and Paraguay ;
the latter was challenged by Voluptuary half way up the cords, who
succeeded in making a dead heat of it. In the second heat Para-
guay again cut out the work, Voluptuary as before, and making a
splendid but unsuccessful finish, the judge having awarded the
Plate to the three year old by a head.
Handicap Plate.—The running for tise first half mile was made
by Maid of the Mill at a great pace, the other light weights lying
up with her ' • Ratcatcher then took the lead, followed by Merry-
thought and Velure, Cotton keeping his mare in reserve till within
two or three strides of the chair, when he made his push, anal won
by a head. Too much cannot be said in praise of this little fellow's
riding.
The day's sport was excellent.
