NEWCASTLE, MONDAY MORNING.—The Only adal;
tional arrivals are, the Conjuror, iss Margrave, and
Little John. A special train is exMpected in the course
of the day, by which a considerable number of hor see
may be expected. The horses here took their exercise
this morning, and all appeared in excellent condition. The
course is in prime order.
There has been no betting worth mentioning.

OUR HUNT.—We have sometimes felt surprise
that our vocalists have never thought of giving lie
sporting soiree. We have had Scotch, and Irish, 51:1'"
and Gipsy soirees, ail of which have succeeded,
but our collection of sporting songs, and no country is
sa rich in sporting songs, has been hitherto suffered to
remain unillustrated. We are rejoiced, therefore, t°
find that at length our sporting songs are to here
justice done to them. Mr. John Mills, the author
of " The Old English Gentleman," " The Stage
Coach," " The Sportsman's Library," upon whom he
mantle of Nimrod seems to have fallen, gives an enter
tainment at the Strand Theatre this evening illustrative
of sporting life, in the course of which he will sing "
hunting we will go," "A southerly wind," " T°re
Moody," and several other crack sporting longs. *We
hope that all lovers of sport will rally round him.
ELECTIONEERING MovamENTs.—Lord Mulgrave
concluded his canvass during the week, and the friends
of Sir John Johnstone have also been calling on the
electors on the worthy baronet's behalf. The Conserva-
tive party remain quite inactive.—Scarborough Gazette.
POTATO DISEASE IN PORTUGAL.—We have been
favoured with a letter from Vigo, dated June 8, froth
which we take the following :—" A few days ago at
Cintra, celebrated for its potatoes, the disease made its
appearance again, and I am sorry to say the crop
there is ruined. It has affected the price in -
Lis"
bon from 20 to 26 vintins per aroba. We Lie
-
bon
that this is the first appearance of the
potato disease in Portugal, noticed in the public journals.
But from a statement of a most intelligent gentleman:
lately resident in Portugal, we learn that the disease ban
appeared in the northern provinces of that Kingdom in
1846, although not to any serious extent —Dublin
Evening Post.
