CHATSWORTH COURSING MEETING.

The domain of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire was, on
the 12th and following day, the scene of great amusement to
the lovers of coursing. The Subscription Cup (valued at nearly
seventy pounds), came off on the first day, and fell, together
with the second prize, a handsome silver snuff-box, into the
hands of a true and long-tried friend of the diversion. Upon
the ground there was a truly splendid muster of the merry men
of England—of the highly-respectable patrons of the pastime of
coursing—and of the spirited give and take gentlemen from
those emporiums of commerce, Liverpool and Manchester. The
hares were unfortunately rather too numerous, and being puffed
a la Falstaff; with good living, their long-tailed opponents
" bore the bell." Mr. W. Nightingale, of Craven, was retained
to fill the arduous office of Judge. It would be a task of great
magnitude to give a " full-length portrait" of the various feats
of some of the primest dogs that Lancashire can boast of; there-
fore, let it suffice for us to proceed with " the decisions."

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY NIGHT.
Yesterday sealed the fate of the most numerous and weighty
speculations ever carried on (over coursing) in the truly spe-
culative market of Manchester. The result of this much-
spoken-of coursing match was brought express last evening ;
and we have this morning seen the faces of some of the Prince's
and the Duke's too sanguine parties sport a far different tint to
the smiles of "glorious summer." After the return of a very
formidable phalanx of our turf heroes from the Derbyshire
hills, and the settling upon the " long backs" extinguished, we
shall expect the favour of a little more attention being paid to
the forthcoming turf events of the rapidly-approaching season.
" The forfe" for the Trade's Cup at Chester will be on our
tables in three days; then will the shots be fired, and business
be bee-like brisk. At present independence and speculation
are all the rage. And for the Epsom events there is a very
evident itch to support Burbastes and Cotillon. The average
prices of this day are as follow :

dence (t) ; 7 to 1 agst. Speculator; 9 to 1 agst. Trepidation (t) ;
