NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
TUESDAY EVENING.—The settling for the Cambridgeshire
was apparently pretty easy, but far otherwise in reality, cue
rather heavy losing account having stood over altogether,
and two or three others having been only partially adjusted.
Alarm, notwithstanding, was a haimless horse for the ring,
very few having won to any amount except Mr. Greville and
two other gentlemen, who are stated to have netted 2,000/.
each. We shall not be able to speak decidedly of the settle-
ment until we see what is done at Tattersall's on Monday
next.
The racing this afternoon, preceded by a sale of blood
stock, at which nothing of any importance was disposed (4*,
commenced at one o'clock with a capital list and brilliant
weather, and was attended by his Royal Highness Prince
George of Cambridge, and a large and fashionable company.

Flash of Lightning then went in front, and with The Little
Vulgar Boy and the Pet colt at her heels, made play to the
Duke's Stand, where she was beaten, and her two followers

to the distance, where Clumsy Passed his horses, and won

THE BARON.

The following was posted in the Subscription-room yes-
terday morning :
" At a meeting of the Jockey Club, held on Monday in
the Houghton Meeting, 1845, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the circumstances attending the sale of The
Baroli, and the betting against that horse for the Cam-
bridgeshire StakeS;—it was resolved, that no evidence had
been laid before the meeting to induce them to proceed fur-
ther in the matter, or to attribute improper conduct to any
parties."

(Signed)

G. BENTINCK.
EXETER.

The subject, we understand, was brought before the Club
by one of the Stewards, at the request of a gentleman whose
conduct had been impugned, and, as his betting-book
proved, without the slightest possible foundation.

CLOSE OF THE HARVEST.—Another week of
fine seasonable weather has enabled the farmers in the
late distr:c s of the north of England to gather in the re•
sidue of ti eir crops of grain in tolerable condition, and to
prepare for the sowing of their winter seed. Considering
the protracted state of the harvest, there has been l;ttle
actual loss. of either straw or grain. Some of the bean
crops remain in the fields, but many of them have been
already secured, and that in fair condition. The second
crop of clover in Yorkshire, and in the north of England
generally, has been unproductive, and in most '
cases the cost of mowing and haymaking has
been at least equal to the value of the produce.
The potatoes arc now principally gathered, or are in a
train fur being so, in this and the neighbouring county
of Lancaster, and there are certainly more decayed roots
than usual in these counties; but if the other parts of
the country, and particularly if Ireland had been equall3
fortunate, there would have been no potato-panic. The
turnips—particularly the Swedes and the yellow bullocks—
have still a very flourishing apwarance, and will cer-
tainly exceed an average crop. The hay proves generally
good in quality, as well as abundant in quantity ; and on a
comprehensive prospect of the harvest of 1815 iu this
country, neither the farmers (considering the advanced price
of wheat) nor the consumers of farm produce will have
nearly so great reason for complaint as was apprehended i
the month of August and the latter part of September.—

Such has been the failure of the corn crop in the
upper districts of South Carolina, that conventions have been
held, and resolutions adopted to apply to the Legislature of
the State for aid in purchasing food.-:-New York Journal of
