DOWNING-STREET, SEPT. 20.
The King has been pleased to command, that an Investiture of
the Most Honourable Military Order of the. Bath shall take
place at St. Tames's l'alace, on Wednesday the 28th instant, at
half.past one o'clock; when the Knights Grand Crosses and
Knights Commanders arc to attend and receive from his Majesty
their respective badges of the Order. .
•

shall be enabled to give a more complete list of the company to.
words the end of the meeting.
We are glad testate, that the Magistrates have decided on
suppressing the gaming booths, not only on the Course, but in
the town ; public notice to that effect has beeti given, and will be
acted on to the fullest extent. The rigorous manner in which
the thimblemen were proceeded against last year is calculated to
have a beneficial effect—there is not the slightest hope for them.
A strong body of police is placed under the direction of Mr.
Tvmbs, of Doncaster, and Bishop, of Bow-street ; and other
effectual measures adopted to prevent accidents and robbery.
The Races commenced at half-past two o'clock this afternoon,
and did not terminate till between five and six • they were in
general very good. We subjoin correct details of the running,
betting, &c.

hl. c. Clarence, 3 yrs.—Lord Fitzwilliam's Sister to Ballad Singer,
3 yrs. ; and Col. Cradock's c. by Lottery, 3 yrs.
Betting—Even on Birmingham, 5 to 2 agst Emancipation, and
to I agst Lord Kelburne's.
Two attempts at starting were frustrated by Tranby's unwil-
lingness to move; at Hie third he todk heart, and they spun
away at a capital pace, Lord Kelburne's cutting out the work,
Birmingham lying Second, and Erhancipation third; these three
severally maintained their places till near the distance, when
Birmingham and Emancipation singled themselves out from the
rest, and ran a very pretty race home, the latter winning neatly
by nearly a neck.. Tranby was beaten about two lengths; Lord
Kelburne's and Hassan were well up with Tranby. Johnson
rode the winner. It will be recollected that Birmingham heat
Emancipation for the list ye es St. Leger, the latter having
made all the running and coining in a re-pectable third; .they
ran again for the Thirty Guineas' Stakes with the same result;
the running of Ethancipation this year has shown a marked
nrovement.

Corset, 7 to 1 agst Darioletta, 7 to 1 ag-t Mr. Powlett's colt, 10
to 1 agst his filly, and 10 to 1 agst the winner.
They came oft in a crowd, and so close together that it would
be difficult to say which made running ; the following, however,
were in front :—Mr. Walker's filly, Darioletta, Mr. Powlett's
two, Corset and Violet; about two distances from home these
six came right away from the crowd, and were abreast till oppo-
site the Stand, where all declined a little except Mr. Walker's and
Mr. Vansittart's. The run in between these two was beautiful,
nor could any one name the winner till the last stride which en-
abled Scott-to get Mr. Walker's filly's head in front, after a plen-
tiful use of the whip.

Mr. Hayes's Melancholy and Mr. Holdgate's Cottage Girl (both
got by Orion) was won easy by the former, in two heats; rode by
Kent.
Among the visitors to the Grand Stand this day were Phil
Sampson, Jein Ward, Harry Holt, and others of the same class,
who had been concerned in the pugilistic exhibition this morn-
ing. Surely some means should be taken to prevent the obtru-
sion of such company amongst the society of persons of the first
cbstinction in the land, of which the fair sex formed so conspi-
cuous a portion.

the most dreadful confusion, during which Brown-was beaten
on the head with sticks, and kicked by the mob in 'the most dig:
gracefu.! manner. Still he fought on, and although all " time
keeping" was out of the question, did his best. He had but a
slight glimmering of sightifroul one eye, and of this he would
haVe been deprived but from a Cut, which let out the blood and
allayed the swelling. In this horrible state of disorder the
fighting continued, till Brown's friends saw he would not e
permitted to win, and as his life Was In hatard, they determi
on taking him away. The fight was of course elairde.l on th
part of Sampson, but there was a universal outcry against, the
'gross injustice which had been done to Brown, and almost every
backer of Brown declared. he would not pay, while several of the
most influential betting men said they could not receive under.
such circumstances.
Both men were taken off the ground to their respective inns,
and in an hour after the fight, a backer of Brown met the stake-
holder at the Subscription Rooms, and protested against his giving
up the stakes without consulting the umpires and referee. The
stakeholder, however, said, " be had already given the money to
Sampson, and there was an end of it." Against this extraordi-
nary and unprecedented proceeding there was no remedy, and
poor Brown was left to the consolations of a battered head and
empty pockets. The rule of the ring is, that " all bets go with
the battle money ;" but we suspect, from the public declarations
in this instance, that this rule will not ha observed.
If a final " knock-down blow" were wanting for the ring,
nothing could have been more effectual than the issue of this,
" the last fight on the list."
It was clear from the first that a premeditated plan was laid to
prevent Sampson from losing if he could not win--and that he had
lost all fair chance of winning in the 21st round, was universally
acknowledged. He had been severely hit on the side of the head;
and, added to this, the injury to his spine was such, that, until
bled at Doncaster, he could not stand uptight. Brown, on the
contrary, was strong and fresh to the last; and although nearly
blind, became so formidable in his attacks, that Sampson shrunk
from the ponderous fall of his blows. It would he useless to pursue
descriltna, however, where a barefaced rubbery was so apparent.
Many remarks were made on the precipitation with
which the stakeholder gave up the stakes, but, upon reflection,
the surprise on this subject soon subsided. We think we may
now fairly say we have recorded " the last speech and dying
words of the Fancy.
A benefit is in contemplation for Brown, who certainly, if not
a fine fighter, exhibited the true game of John Bull on this oc-
casion; and if courage and cruel treatment entitle him to sym-
pathy, he deserves all that can be affbrded him.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.-There was some appearance of a rally in the Sugar
Market last week. The holders of Muscovades refused to submit
to any further reduction in the prices ; the offers made were re-
jected, and in consequence the estimated sales of the week were
limited to '2,700 hhds. and trs. at firm market prices. The stock
of West India Sugar is now 56,411 hhds. and trs., which is 7,061
more than last year. The stock of Mauritius 121238 bags, being
79,362 more than last year. The delivery of West India Sugar
last week 3,5)1 hhds. and trs. being 574 less than last year.
The delivery of Mauritius 6,561 bags, being 1,566 more than in
the corresponding week of 1810. At the close of the market the
estimated sales this day were 900 hhds. and trs, including the
Barbadoes sale ; the prices steady. The Refined Market assumed
more appearance of firmness last week ; the buyers of low goods
for export could not purchase on such low terms as formerly ;
there were extensive buyers of Lumps at 615., but no sellers ; the
fine shipping goods were, however, little inquired after, and were
still offered on very low tera.s ; the fine goods, suitable for home
consumption, were also very dull. There was no alteration in
the Refined Market this afternoon ; low Lumps firm at 61s. 6d.,
but few sales reported.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.-The public sales of Mauritius Su-
gars on Friday 5,699 bags, after a small part was taken in, sold
with briskness at a general advance of tid, to ls., and in some in-
stances Is. a Is. 6d. higher; some China Sugars sold at a small
reduction. In Bengal or Manilla Sugars there were few transac-
tions, and no alteration in prices. By public sales this forenoon
nearly 7,000 bags Mauritius; the whole went off heavily, and 6d.
to Is. lower than on Friday, making the Market at nearly the
same prices as early in last week.
FOREIGN SUGARS.-There were some parcels of white
Havannah Sugar purchased last week at rather higher prices,
335. 6d. ; there were many inquiries for yellow Havannali, but
no actual purchases to any extent were reported. This day, at
public sale, 281 chests of Brazil Sugar, nearly two-thirds were
taken in; the remainder sold at very low prices, brown 15s. 6d.
and 17s.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.-The Committee of the House
of Commons report unfavourably for West India Molasses being
used in the distilleries and breweries. Average price of Sugar,
11. 2s. 1010. per cwt.
COFFEE.-The demand for British Plantation Coffee became
general and extensive last week, and an advance of 2s. a 4s. per
cwt. took place ; the rise was particularly in triage; in ord. and
good ord. Jamaica triage 635. a 61s. ; good ord. 675. a 68s. ; the
fine fine ord. and low mid. sold lower in proportion ; about 900
packs Brazil sold 435. a 465., which was rather lower; St. Do-
mingo sold 465. a 475. ; East India at former quotations; Batavia
ord. mixed 495. up to 455. for good; Sumatra, 38s. a 395. By

ILL; IVI, AITDV,
very dull; Leewards 1 and 2 over Is. 5d.; Jamaica 28 to 32 over
2s. 3d a 2s. 4d. Geneva is still neglected. Several extensive
contracts for Rum for export last week have to-day transpired,
nearly all Leewards, proofs Is. 616 d on board, and for 5 over
Is. 7d., 8 over Is. Bd.-Several of the best marks of Brandy have
also been sold at 4s. 5d., which is rather higher than the pre-
vious week; the deliveries from the Docks, it will be observed,
are very large.
HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.-The Tallow Market has
become more firm, and notwithstanding the large stock, there
are few parcels offering for immediate sale. Hemp is very dull,
and were buyers to appear, they could purchase on lower terms.
Flax continues at nominal quotations.
COTTON.-The Cotton market continues steady. The pur-
chases this week consist of 140 Bengal, 454 d. a 4%d. ; 200 Surat,
414 d. a sd. ; 200 Madras, 4%d. a
WOOL-The public sales of New South Wales and Van Die-
man's Land Wools closed on Friday, at higher prices than at the

otof
2wsb6i%hdwe; rtehforormemtahiendaebot above cfoolwonsiespa,niasihid,
German,fe tchedfrom d
Russian,
and Barbary Wools, forming no criterion for a market. The
market generally is very flat, the sales by private contract being
very limited, and prices rather lower, except for Wools of the
value of 2s. 3d. lier lb. and under.
INDIGO.-There is no alteration in Indigo : it is still believed
that the next sale will be nearly 9,000 chests; above 7,200 are
already declared.

news by the Hamburg boat is not favourable for Drugs; the late
advance is, however, maintained.
RICE.-By public sale this day 1,445 bags of Rice : good Bengal
sold at Market prices, 14s. 66. a 15s.
HOPS.-The picking is general, but the Hops do not come
down so good as was expected. There was a good supply of new
Hops at Market, the best quality sells at 955. a 100 s.
OILS.-The Oil Market is very firm, on account of the ad-
vanced season, and no report of the Davis' Straits Fishery; prices
generally 11. higher.
SPICES.-Pimento and Pepper are in request at prices a shade
igher.
SALTPETRE.-The Market is more firm ; 375. a 375. 6d. for
)ugh, and 4os. a 425. for Dist India Company's refined.
TOBACCO.-There are no extensive sales ofTobacco to report.
TEA.-The Private Trade sale finished to-day. In the Market
lore has been some demand for Boheas since the sale at a premium.
