The Wheats, though generally very backward

growth, maintain a very promising appearance, ex.
ceps on cold heavy Soils, where their colour being
'much gone off, it must now require good-hearted
land to produce a fair crop. The Barleys in the

not only from the sharp winds, but ,by the wire.
worm also. The forward Pease, running for bloom, .
have likewise suffered much; but the Eeans and

The Mutton, Lamb, and Pork markets keep steady;

EPSOM RAC ts.--A very serious tumult took
place on Epsom Downs on Thursday. Soon` after
the hor,es had finished
.the last heat the speetators
on horsebrick cut away the ropes which form a part
of the fence for keeping the equestrians out of the
c )urge. Those persons whose "busipess it was to
keep the ground clear, endeavoured, notwithstand-
ing, to oppose the, 'Wars from passing their boon.
tholes ; the consequence was, that a battle.roysl
ensued. The infantry armiag themselves with sticks
from the hedges, anti large stones, attacked the
cavalry with the greatest ferocity, anti when obliged
to fall back by the ',hinging of the horses, took
shelter behind the carriages, till a 1 more advantage.
ous opportunity tatted fur renewing the contest.
The horsemen having nothing to defend themselves
with lout sach'small sticks as are generally used on '
horseback, were worsted in the engagement. Mr.
Irms, of the Strand, an eminent Wine.metchant,
in endeavouring to obtain a hearing, for the purpose
of procuring a cessation of hostilities, received a
dreadful cut trom.the enemy, over his eye, and was
obliged to be carried oil the ground ; another unfor.
innate anually had his thigh broken irs
