Dullness was the only characteristic of the meeting.
Tue- day furnished the most interesting day's sport, from
the circumstance of its bringing out several two-yr-olds
of much racing celebrity. furnishing somewhat large
fields, and occasioning a contest for the Cup, which had
not been run for since the year 1774.
The Cup was in the possession of Lord Clifden, who

The races exercised little material influence over com-
ing events. The pretensions of Homily, Peter Wilkins,
and Winkfield for the Cesarewitch were disposed of by
their " performances" during the meeting. The attend.

CESAREWITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES.—
YOOATT War. GRAY'S advice for the above events is
now ready. Lance for the Portland Stakes, at Donnas-
ter, and eleven other winners is something extraordinary,
got the advice on the above races will astonish all, aii
1,000 to 1 can he obtained about the double event. I
mil positive one, if both, dies not come of. Recollect, I
mimed Mr. Sykes and Crown Pigeon last year (first and
second). Apply early, or the long price will be lest.
Terms : —To the Cambridgeshire, 7s. 6d. ; one week,
ss. ; single race, 2s. 6d. ; to the end of the season, 10s.
6d.—Address, 15, Charing-cross.

Au almost complete cessation of the demand fur
money was ob3ervable yesterday both at the Bank of
England and out of doors, but gold continues to be taken
for exportation to the continent at the rate of about
40,0001. per day, and unless a change should take place
in tbis respect au advance in the rate of dificouut to 5i
per cent. can bardly be long delayed.

THE LATE LORD HA RDINCrT,.

TO TIM EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—A statement relative to tLe late Lord Har-
ding() appeared in the Times and was controverted.
The writer of that statement attempted to hand
the dispute over to me, without any just right to
do so, and hence my letter, No. 1, was written ;
the letters which followed No. 1 need no explana-
tion, and your publication of them will be accepted
as a favour.—l remain, sir, your obedt. servant,
W. NAPIER, Lieut.-General.
0ct..1.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—When any person of real authority on the sub-
ject controverts my statement of the part taken by the
late Lord Ilardinge at the battle of Albuera, I shall be
ready to substantiate its truth ; meanwhile I decline the
honour of fighting the battle of Printing-house-square.
W. NAPIER, Lieut.-General.

Sept. 27, 18ii.

The Times Office, Sept. 29.
The Editor of the Times presents his compliments to
General Napier, and begs leave to say that he will be
happy to insert any communications from General Na
pier tending to substantiate General Napier's statement
of the late Lord Hardinge's part in the battle of Albuera,
" which does not cant= a snarl against the Times."
The Editor is quite ready and able to fight the battle of
Printing-house-square without General Napier's /mist-
ance, and it is utterly immaterial to him whether Gen.
Napier chooses to fight his own battles in the Times or
not ; but if General Napier does avail himself of the
columns of the Times for that purpose, he must see the
propriety of not at the same time snapping at the hand
which renders him help.
Lient.Aleneral_Win. Napier, &c., Scinde House,
Clapham.
