(RECEIVED THIS MORNING.)
NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
RACE COURSE, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
The fineness of the weather in the morning induced
most of the visitors to attend a Coursing-match on the
Flat, between Captain Daintrie's blue bitch, Knab, and
Mr. Tyson's black bitch, Fairy, for 501. aside ; it came
off about eleven o'clock, and was won, after two unde-
cided courses, by Fairy. This event in some degree
compensated for the deficiency of the card, which pre-
sented only four races, of which one only, the 50 soya.
Stakes, excited any interest.
Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each, for two yrs old, 7st ; and
three yrs, Bst 121 b ; fillies allowed 21bs ; T. Y. C. ;

Betting.—Three to 1 agst the two year olds, 10 to 6
agst Ladye of Silverkeld Well, 7 to 4 agst Edmund
(taken), and 3 to 1 agst Blazer. They ran head and
head, at a miserable pace, to the new ground, where
Blazer and the Ladye went in front, and kept so till
within a few strides of the finish. The Drewdrop colt
then went up, and won a short run race by a head ; the
Carew filly was beaten off.
Sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each, h ft ; for two year old
colts, Bst 71b, and fillies Bst 41b. Ab. M. (9 Subs.)
Colonel Peel's Murat (Nat) 1
Mr. J. Sadler's Testy %.
Four to lon Murat. Murat made all the running,
the mare lying a length behind to the hurdles, and
thence into the cords at his quarters ; she then made her
push, and got near enough to be beaten by a neck—some
say easy, others that it was a race. During the race,
Murat was backed for the Derby at 16 to I ; 20 to 1
was offered after it was over.

GooDwooD flacEs.—The Stakes enumerated in our
last close on Saturday ; by mistake they were stated to
have already closed.
CRITERION STAKES.—This race has been claimed for
Mr. Watt, on the ground that Lord George Bentinck
has not paid his forfeits for the Produce Stakes at
Blandford. It appears that his Lordship, the Hon. S.
llerbert, and Mr. Gregory, refuse to pay their forfeits
to the owner of Eleus for this reason, that the stake
was subscribed to on the understanding that the Bland-
ford Races would take place at the usual time—a week
after Salisbury ; that they did not so take place ; and
that their having been afterwards appointed for October
without the consent of the subscribers, made the race
void. A case arising out of this race, as well as Mr.
Watt's claim, is now before the Stewards of the Jockey
Club.

THE PORTENDIC Guizot,-1-ve are
glad to learn, has at length consented, on behalf of
Louis Philippe's Government, to refer the claims of
British mershants on France, arising out of the illegal
blockade of Portendic, to the decision of the King of
Prussia; and Lord Aberdeen has likewise agreed to
such a reference. The terms of the reference are not
yet settled, but there are few difficulties, we hear, in
the way of the settlement.
The hurricane of Tuesday night, which succeeded
a very showery day, has delayed the arrival of many
vessels and steamers expected on Wednesday, and
among others the Batavier steam-ship, from Rotterdam,
which in the usual course would have made her ap-
pearance at St. Katharine's, at ten o'clock in the
morning, did not arrive during the day, and is no
doubt delayed by the bad weather. Several vessels
and steamers which did arrive appeared to have suf-
fered much by the storm. The shipping and craft in
the river have wholly escaped damage, and there has
not been a single accident.
