will be seen that Brutendorf 'has recovered somewhat from the
panic of the moment, and that there are believers who back
him for the St. Leger,

Friday being the last day of the ltaies, the court • • • %),1.
fashionably and numerously attended than on the', f•
days ; and although a partial shower of rain served at &it to
throw a damp upon the spirits of the sporting world, the sun
about 3 o'clock, as if envious of his enemy, spread his reful-
gent rays, to the joy of horsemen, carriage-folks, and pedes-
trians. The sport commenced with " The County Plate of
501." Three horses started. An able contest took place. be-
tween Picton and Sprite, and was won by the former. Thtt, in
the eyes of judges, was considered as a line race. A bye-match
then took place for a considerable sum, and afforded excellent
sport.

The next was a match, Major Luard's ch. g. Volunteer,
against Capt. Lock's lir. g.lilni(ht Errant, 12st. each. (Gen-
tlemen of the 17th Lancers.) Owners rode.—ln consequence of
`the novelty of the scene much interest was excited, and many
a fair lady's heart heat with fear when they beheld the graceful
attitude of the military school combinedsvith that of the jockey.
This match was ably contested, and won with great difficulty
by Captain Lock.
The Garrison Plate of 501., for horses bona fide the property
of officers of the 17th Lancers. One mile heats. 12st. each.
Gentlemen riders. Major Willington's Redgauntlet, Lieut.
Robbins's Silver Tail, and Lieut. Clarke's Swordsman.
Never before had Canterbury been the station of so fine a set
of spirited Officers as compose the regiment of the 17th, to
them principally may be owned the sport of the day, alike feel-
ing an interest and promoting the assemblies, theatres, and
fireworks. The sports of the day concluded with the Ladies'
Plate of 501. for the losing horses of the week, which afforded
much excellent sport.
The Duchess of Kent, as was expected, did not this day
grace the: Downs with her Royal presence. The ball of this
evening is expected not to fall short in number of that of
Thursday. Never before have we remembered so many of the
Nobility attending as have this week, and 'instead of being on
the decline., as: we stated some days since, we have no hesita-
tion in saying that we expect next year to see Canterbury in its
former flourishing state.
The amusements of the week concluded on Saturday with a
grand promenade and farewell breakfast at the Assembly
Rooms. We. cannot conclude without noticing the universal
applause elicited by Mr. J. Weippert's performance on the
harp; the music was unusually good, two full bands in dif-
ferent rooms (quadrilles in both) during the promenade. The
company were delighted by the performance of several select
pieces by the band of the 17th Hussars. We have great plea-
sure in announcing the names of the Gentlemen appointed as
Stewards for the ensuing year, S. G. Lushington and C. W.
Master, EAVS., under whose superintendence we doubt not
they will flourish. It is rumoured that a Fancy Ball will take
place next year. •

his private room, and gave judgment in this case, which was
an application, on the part .of the plaintiff, to restrain the de-
.fendants,• the. Canal Company, from deepening_or widening
the basin at Cardiff. His Lordship strongly recommended
the partied to get some skilful Engineers, and arntrigetarthinist
themselves some place by which the objections could be removed.
At all events the Company, unless they, would shew that Oe
Act of Parliament empptvered them to carry on the workti'com-
plained of, ought not to prated; and his Lordship whs sure
that even if the Act did authorize them to do so,ithat.power
would not be vested in them in another Session of Parliament.
The advice be should give' them was teket some
skilful `l n~i-

if they did not now do so, a very short time would elapse before
they regretted they had not followed his advice. however, in

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COITRT—(Tuts .Datt.)
John • Vicary, describing hituseif a .gentleman :residing at
Islington, came up to claim his discharge, which
no creditor
oppOsed. The insolvent, however, underwent an investigation
by Mr. Commissioner BOWEN', who being satisfied . with his
statement, allowed him to be sworn.
Mr. Thwaites, an attorney, , here informed the Court that
he had attended professionally for the iniolvenr, who-had not
paid him, but subsequently employed Mr. Wragg, another
attorney, to manage his affairs.
The COURT said that was a very improper *Mae of proceed-
ing in changing the Attornies without an orderfrom the court.
However; the Insolvent would not be discharged out of custody
until he had settled his affairs with Mr. Thwaites. .

DAILY

Extracts from the Morning Papers, Aug. 21.

Among the happy symptoms of the decay of
strong party feelings in Ireland is, the fact that
Colonel Blacker, the Deputy Vice-Treasurer, has
re,qc to the Grand Orange Lodge his resignation,
its 'Deputy Grand Master of that Association. It
ib ',understood that Colonel Blacker had deter-
mined upon this step some time since, and was
induced to hold his Orange dignity Only in the
hope of moderating the temper and spirit of that
illegal faction. Finding, we believe, that the
countenance and approbation he was supposed to
give to their proceedings by his continuing to
Wear the insignia of office amongst them, far
overbalanced any benefit he could effect by his
temperate suggestions to his associates, be at
length resolved publicly to withdraw from them.
We concratulate the people of Ireland on this
eveat, because it is another proof of the disposi.
non of his Majesty's Government not to suffer
the spirit of party to sway their Councils, or per-
'rade their functionaries. Colonel [Hacker does
himself honour by his wise and manly secession
from a body, with which, we dare say, he now
regrets he ever had the misfortune to mix him-
self up.--( Ibid.)

[Tuc TIMES.]
A mail from Brazil arrived yesterday, with
letters from Rio tie Janeiro of the 18th June,
and front Pernambuco of the Bth ult. The ad-
vices from toe capital add nothing of importance
to ' what was previously known. At Pernam-
buco the, order of the Emperor for raising the
blockade arrived on the 29th June, and the squa-
dron set sail, as instructed, without delay for
Rio de Janeiro. This event was highly gratify-
ing to the republican party at that place, who

tt ,has already been mentioned, that some dis-
semilons prevailed at Maranhao) in the beginning
of July.. We have seen letters from that place
4;ote go,, of jtily, by which it appears, that on
the 3d the governing Junta notified to the British
Consul, MrAfesketh, that a body of troops was
eitihineing against the city for the avowed pm-7
pass of changing the form of the Government.—
At the same time Mr. Hesketh had received
in-
dtrectly assurances from the leaders of the hostile'
party, that the persons and property of British '
subjects should be strictly respected, which as.,
sureness were officially confirmed on the sth by
documents signed by the leaders, or as they
