BRIGHTON RACES.

BRIGHTON, JULY 31.—The weather was favourable, as
yesterday, the Course in good order, and the company at
once fashionable and numerous. Amongst other arrivals
are the Duke de Feltre, Lord G. Lenox, Lord George
Hervey, Marchienesa of Bristol, Sir Robert Blair, Ge-
neral Wallace, Hon. Mr. Talbot, &c. Miss Paton is an-
nounced in the arrivals as Lady William Lenox.

Nis Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the
Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Devonshire, Duke and
Duchess of Richmond, Lord and Lady Mountcbarles, and
nearly all the fashionables, whose names we have given
before. are now oa the race-course, which presents an as-
semblage quite equal in brilliancy to any we ever saw on
it. The great race of the day was the following:_.

A Gold Cup, value 100 gs., given by his Majesty, added to
a Sweepstakes of 10 sows. each, for all ages ; three-yr-
olds, 6st. 121 b. four, Bst. 31b. five, Bst. 121 b. six wad
aged, gat. 31b. Two miles.
Lord Mountcharles's Maresfield, 4 yrs
Mr. Stonehewer's Souvenir, 4 yrs
Lord Egremont's Chateau Margaux, 6 yrs 3
Mr. Mills's Brownlock, 6 yrs
6t04 on Souvenir-2 to 1 agat the winner--4 to 1 agst
Chateau Margaux.

This race created an extraordinary degree of interest,
from the very high character of the horses engaged in it,
aqd heavy sums were lost by the knowing ones, who had
booked Souvenir as safe. At starting Chateau Margaux
jumped off in front with a rattler, Souvenir close at his
quarters, and Maresfield as near to Ler ; they pelted along
in this position till within fifty yards of home, when Sou-
venir and Mareafield made a simultaneous rush for the
front, at once throwing the old horse behind. At this
point Maresfielel got to evens with the mare, and for about
thirty yards it was a doubtful point ; but Maresfield at last
got the lead, and won a gallant race by half a length ; ex-
cellently rode by J. Day ; Souvenir by Buckle, jun ; and
Chateau ➢largaux by Araull.

The Town Plate of 501. added to a Sweepstakes of 5 soya.

heat was admirably contested by Coronet, Urganda, and
Spondee; the race was hard, and it was diamond cut
diamond ; the Stewards pronounced it a dead beat be-
tween Spondee and Urganda. The third beat proved
highly interesting to all the sporting men; both of the
horses were on their mettle, and the rider-,
Buckle and

more work to dothan b

when after a

deavoura to get first at the winning-rot,
most severe race, Spondee was pronounced the winner by'
half a neck.—The fourth heat now became important to
the betting-men, and Spondee was taken for choice in se-
veral instances,

betweert,them, contesting every inch of ground, Urganda
won the Plate by only half a head It was piteous to see
the condition of the mare after the race had been decided.
Amongst the most distinguished members of the pugi-
listic corps, we observed on the Course the ax-Champion,
Tom spring, Ned Neal, and Jack Martin; whom the

Last night the Libraries were crowded with success
indeed, many persons were unable to gain admittance at.
Tuppend's. At Lueombe's, the singing of Miss Campbell
and Master Barker was so much admired in the " Court-
ship Duet," as to call forth a loud eactire. miss Canipbel:,
although labouring under a severe cold, evident proot,
that she possesses considerable musical talents.
