THURSDAY.

The splendour of the Cup day at Ascot is proverbial—not
less so is its prototype at Goodwood, where, weather permitting,
we may safely calculate upon plenty of sport, and a large assem-
blage of " rank, fashion, and beauty." Such proved to be the
ease this afternoon ; coaches, private carriages, hired vehicles of
every possible description, made their way to the ground at an
early hour, from Brighton, Portsmouth, Worthing, and every
other town within a circle of 30 miles; nor was the metropolis
" wanting." The " Duke of Richmond" and several other
coaches having arrived before noon, the Chichester, Medhurst,
Petworth, and Arundel furnished their quota, the aggregate,
from as good an estimate as the dust permitted us to make,
being fully up to the average of the best seasons. The stand
was crowded with elegantly-attired and fashionable company, the
lawn held a throng of a more motley character. Some who had
paid, some who ought to have paid, and not a few who ought
not to have been admitted pay or not. Every other part of the
Course gave indications of the greatness of the attraction, and,
admitting that the principal race was less exciting than usual
with sporting men, we may ♦enture to assert that nearly all the
striking features of a Cup day were exhibited in the most
favourable light. Punctually at the appointed time, the horses
reached the Starting-post for

A Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, for two yrs old colts, Bst 71b ;

The running was made to the turn by Yorkshire Lady, and
then taken up by the Young-'un, who carried it on to the rails,
where he was passed by Vibration. Her lead lasted half way
up the distance, where Camelino went up, headed, her, and
beat her to the finish by a neck cleverly. Concertine, Snow-
drop, and Corunto were well up. t

Thistle Whipper was in front at starting, but in a few
strides contented himself with the second place, the lead being
taken at a good pace by Policy, Thistle Whipper and Fireaway
lying next, Yorkshire Lady arid Beleceur fifth and sixth,
Charles, The Squire, and Seamew horse bringing up the
rear. There was no alteration of the slightest moment
in the leading horses until they reached the last turn,
where Charls and The Squire moved towards the
front. At the distance the race was over. Charles went
by his horses, made the rest of the running, and won in a canter
by two lengths. Fireaway was beaten two lengths from the
second. The Seamew horse pulled up a mile from home, and
Sleight-of-hand, The Yorkshire Lady, and Belcceur, were
tailed off two distance. The pace was good.

PUTNEY REGATTA.
This regatta, on Tuesday, for a purse of sovereigns given by
the Nobility and Gentry residing at Ptitney, Reehampton, and
its vicinity, was very excellently attended. It was a sculler's
wager (two pair in each boat) in three heats, somewhat
strangely arranged, the last men in the first heat being entitled
to row in the second, thus makinz three starts in each heat.
The first heat consisted of John Cobb and James Green,
yellow • Wm. Cobb an'l Chas. Cobb, white ; Wm. Robinson
and Thos. Green, stripes ; and the second of Joseph Robinson
and Joseph Woolsoncraft, pink ; James Robinson and Arthur
Simpson,' blue. After disputing the distance in style in three
heats, stripes, yellow, white, and blue started for the grand
heat, to row from Putney-bridge, down round a boat below the
cedars, up the South shore, round a boat off the Vice- Channel-
lor's, and then through the centre,arch of Putney-bridge. After
a few strokes white took the lead and kept it, winning by half
a-dozen lengths ; stripes were second, yellow third.
DOGGEIT'S COAT AND BADGE.
The annual contest for the Coat and Badge, bequeathed by
Doggett, the celebrated comedian, in commemoration of them
ascension of the family of her present Majesty to the throne of
Great Britain, will take place on Monday next by the following
six young watermen

- • •
George Henry Ross Greenwich
John Wm. Rugg.... ..... King Edwarct-stairs, Wapping
George Edward Rose fforselydown
Lewis Louis Sholl Tower
James Leddy Wandsworth
Meekiff ...... . Horseferry
To the livery is added the interest on some South Sea Stock
left by Sir William Jollitte, which amounts to 4/. is. 6d. for
the second man, and 2/. 12s. 6d. for the third. Meekiff is the
first favourite, anti Leddy, who is a sharp sculler, is spoken
well of.

The General Steam Navigation. Company's steam-
ship Wilberforce arrived on Wednesday at a quarter to seven.
having left Antwerp the previous afternoon, thus performing
the passage under 18 hours. She brought the Antwerp and
Brussels papers of Wednesday.

MOVE Y and COMMERCIAL NE WS
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The steadiness of the ul ward tendency of the funds continued
to the close of business, and Consols left off at 914 91i for
Money, and for the Account; Bank Stock, 167 169; India
Stock, 249 250 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51

Foreign Securities were rather firmer ; the prices were—
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 51i 51i ; the Five per
Cents., 1011 1014 • Danish, 81182 i ; and Brazilian, 64i 65i.
Not a bargain in Mexican having been made to-day no quota-
tion can be given.
In the Share Market, London and Birmingham were 180

The quotations for the Bonds (nominally) were Colombian,
20; 21 ; Peruvian, 15 16 • Portuguese Five per Cents.,
34 33,1; the Three per bents., 196 20 ; Spanish Five
per Cents., 20i 20i; the Three per Cents., 20i 20k.
(From The Sum-of Last Night.)
The Funds remain exceedingly firm in price, but with very
little business. Consols have been all day 9l for Money, and
for the Account • Three per Cents. 'Reduced 911; Three-
and-a-Half per bents. Reduced, 100 a 100qi ; New Three-
and-a-Ealf per Cents., 100 100 k; Bank Stock, 167 169;
India Stock, 249 261 ; India Bonds, :30; Exchequer Bills,
Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem.
Foreign Securities have also been without transactions of
moment, although prices are steadily maintained. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds have been sold at 516, the
Five per Cents. at looi, and the Brazilian at 65.
Neither the intelligence from Mexico, or the arrival of a
fut ther amount of specie, and the information that
Government was about to send another conducta
forward, have been sufficient to induce a single bargain in the
Stock to-day. The accounts, though they add but little to
those last received, are still of a favourable character, and
would appear to lead to the conclusion that in reality
the difference between Texas and Mexico will be amicably
arranged, though each of the countries is loud in its boast-
ings of invading and conqueritr, the other. The one is stated
only to wait for reinforcements from the United States to com-
mence operations, and the other the arrival of two steam-boats
from this count) yto begin the war ; which boats, by the way,
the Texians state they are determined to take before they
reach their destination. But the whole may be expected
to be carried on privately, as the blockade has been on
paper. As long as peace is maintained so long the engage-
ments with the Engloh creditors are likely to be kept, and
either country is too well acquainted with the advantages of
quiet to wish an open warfare, however great their blusterings
to the contrary may be.

The Share market has been better, the purchases have been
—London and Birmingham at 182; New Thirds, 301;
Manchester and Birmingham, 271/2; Edinburgh and Glasgow,
48; Great Western Half Shares, t;3&; South Western, 62;
and South Eastern, 23. _ _

Twe bargains appear to have been made in the Bonds—Co-
lombian at 204 21; and Spanish Five per Cents. at 20 21.
The commercial intelligence received from the West Indies,
by the Tweed, and which comes from Jamaica to the 26th uh.,
is not of great importance. The expectation which had been
formed of larger crops this year than had been raised last, ap-
pear to be about to be successfully realised, while scarcely any
improvement had taken place in trading depression. The wea-
ther had been extremely propitious fin cutting the canes, al-
though in some districts heavy rains had somewhat impeded
this operation, but not to an extent sufficient to cause serious
injury. • The want of labourers continued, though in the prin-
cipal islands the negroes were working steadily, but still not
sufficiently fer the proper cultivation of estates.
The mismanagement of the West India steamers continues to
excite much complaint throughout the whole of-the colonies.
The quantity of sugar received from these colonies in 1841
was 2,151,217 cwt., and in 1831 it had been 4,103,81)0 cwt.
Rum had fallen from 7,844,157 gallons in 1831, to 2,770,161
gallons in 1841. Coffee had decreased from 20,030 802Ibs. in
the first-named year, to 9,927,6691135. in the last. Demerara
had produced less sugar by 386,873 cwt., less rum by
1,397,23:3' gallons, and less coffee by 1,245,7211h5., the defici-
ency almost wholly arising from the want of labourers ; and
the accounts of the prosrct of the forthcoming crop represent
that it will be far below that of the last year. Between these
periods the consumption of sugar in the United Kingdom
increased from 3,781,011 cwt. to 4,058,431 cwt. The defici-
ency in the produce of the West Indies being supplied from the
Mauritius and India, the former raised its 'exportations from
456,546 cwt. to 724,825 ewt., and the latter from 113,524 cwt.
to 1,066,032 cwt. As similar complaints as to the want of
labourers are of constant occurrence at the Mauritius, the
Colonial Passengers' Bill will be of great benefit towards pro •
rooting the prosperity of this valuable, and now necessary colony.

MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 27.—Our market
evinces a more healthy feeling, accompanied with a general dis-
position to buy, but, in •consequence of sellers expecting to
realise higher prices, they are holding back. Manchester and
Birmingham are in good demand, also Leeds, Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and south Easterns. The sales are—Manchester
and Birmingham, 28 281 ; and Eastern Counties, 9.
