CATTERICK BRIDGE RACES.—Fiasr DAY.
These celebrated Yorkshire Races, upon which so much
depends, and which stand in the same situation to the
Great St. Leger as the Newmarket do to the Derby and
Oaks, have produced most important results, and the Tat-
tersall's betting will undergo a complete revolution in con-
quence.

The Match between Wamba and Pollio is scarcely
worth notice. The betting was 5t02 on Wamba, who
had it all his own way.
THE PLATE.-There was not a good horse in the race,
although nine started. Mr. Greville's two-yr.-old (since
called Pilot) was the favourite, and trailed the lot along in
prime style, winning by a length.

,3 CORN MARKKT.-Aug. 7.

There was a large supply of Wheat, Barley, and Oats ;
fine fresh Wheat was nearly is. per quarter lower, and
other descriptions were entirely neglected. In all other
Grain there was very little doing, and prices were rather
lower. Rapeseed was held at more money, but no sales
effected.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Aug. 9.
V. T.UCAS...—A WARD.
Mr. CHINA stated, that the Registrar had found a
. . .

difficulty in drawing up the order his Lordship had made
yesterday in this case. The order distinctly was, that
Lucas should be committed to the Fleet, for having run off
with the girl, but that the execution of the order should be
in the mean time suspended. In consequence of the draw-
ing up of the order being delayed, the parties had been
unable to proceed with proposals in the Master's Office.
His Loansnir directed the Registrar to wait on him at
the rising of the Court.

THE MARKETS.

SOUTFIALL MARKET.-Aug. B.

This day's market was moderately well supplied, but
the buyers having been numerous, owing perhaps to the
harvest having increased the country consumption, each
kind of meat sold, with some degree of briskness, at the
following prices per stone of 81h. to sink theoffals:—

Beef 9e. Bd. to 4e. Bd. I Veal 4e. 2d. to ss. 4d
Mutton 3 6 4 6 Pork 4 0 5 2

Lamb

4s. Od. to ss. Od

The foregoing quotations are, Beef, Mutton, the best Veal, and
best Pork, 9d. per stone higher than on this day se'nuight. In
prices of Lamb, and the inferior kinds of Veal and Pork, no al-
teration. Some, though not a great number, of the Beasts,
Sheep, and Lambs, left the market unsold.
London, England, 1827-08-10

one, and the Marquis -of Lansdowne and his
private friends constituted the other. The va-
cancies which his decease has created may be
tilled up by the friends of the one part, or by the
friends of the other. The Chancellorship of the
Exchequer is by no means a more important nor
a more influential office than many others, unless
when associated with that of the First Lord
Commissionership of the Treasury, and, there-
fore, it is unnecessary to take it into our calcu-
lation. The latter, supposing no change in the
constituent remains of the Cabinet, might be
filled by Lord Goderich on the one hand, or by
Lord Lansdowne on the other. This arrange-
ment proceeds on the supposition, that neither
part of the Cabinet quits office. If Lord
Goderich and the late Premier's friends were to
quit office, their places could only be supplied
from those, who, previous to the political death
of Lord Liverpool, formed what was termed
the Opposition, and the Cabinet would be,
in fact, the same, very nearly, as in 1807.
If, on the contrary, Lord Lansdowne and his
friends retired, we might reasonably expect to see
Mr. Peel, and the Duke of Wellington, and the
Earl of Eldon, once more Members of the Ca-
binet, which, in all but the change of its head,
would be essentially the same as during the Ad-
ministration of Lord Liverpool. In this case,
Mr. Peel or Lord Goderich would be the First
Lord Commissioner of the Treasury. Lastly,
the whole of the present Cabinet might quit
office, and in that case we should have a Mi-
ni:-try to select from the Members of what, after
Mr. Canning's elevation, constituted the Opposi-
tion ; among whom, for that purpose, Mr. Peel
would, of course, be included. There are, there-
fore, four modifications of Administration; one
of which we may expect-1. The Cabinet, as at
present constituted.-2. A pure Whig Cabinet.
3. A Cabinet formed of the same materials as
that of Lord Liverpool.-4. A pure Tory Ca-
binet. Of the first, Lord Goderich or the
Marquis of Lansdowne might be the head
indifferently ; of the second, the Marquis would
be the head, of necessity ; over the third, either
Mr. Peel or Lord Goderich might preside ; and
of the fourth, only Mr. Peel could be the leader.
We think that the general feeling of the people
is averse from extremes ; that setting aside pre-
judices on particular questions, the distinguish-
ing feature of the public mind at the present
moment is moderation. Looking to this feature
merely, and weighing the probabilities of one
with another, we should sav that the second and
fourth arrangements which we have indicated,
are less likely to be made than the first or third.
To a nearer approximation of the truth, we have
not, nor have any of our contemporaries, any
means, in the absence of all positive data whereon
to ground a judgment, or pretence, for coming.
All beyond this, however confidently put forth,
is unfounded supposition.—Netu Times.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
There are moderate supplies of English Grain this week,
and
au immense quantity of Foreign Oats. Of Flour the
sCPply is not large. Wheat continues to meet a very dull
"le at the terms last quoted. Barley, Beans, and Pease,
are unvaried. There is a very slack demand for Oats to-
ay, but the factors are not disposed to submit to less
Price'. The Flour trade remains as last reported, with a
very dull sale.

ROWING MATCHES.

Yesterday afternoon a Wherry and other prizes, given
by the Ladies and Gentlemen of St. Clement Danes, St.
Mary-le-Strand, &C. Sic,, were rowed for by eight pair of
oars, belonging to Arundel-stairs and Strand-lane. Two
heats were most admirably contested, and afforded great
delight ; but in the grand heat some fouling took place,
and after a fight or two on the water, in which several fell
overboard, the Managers declared that the match should
take place on a future day.
HORSELEYDOWN REGATTA.--A grand rowing matcli
took place yesterday, for a wherry and other prizes, given
by subscription, to be rowed for by six pair of sculls, free
watermen—the second boat to receive five guineas—the
gift of Charles Calvert, Esq., M.P. nose won the boat
by a length. The river was literally covered with boats.

The Marquis de PALMELLA, the Portuguese
Ambassador, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign
Office.

Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of
NoarnuMßEß LAND passed through Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
in the afternoon of Wednesday last, on their way to AlR-
wick Castle. They were greeted with a merry peal 01
bells on the occasion.

HEAT IN FRANCE.—Letters from Nantes,
dated the 2d instant, represent the heat experienced in that
part of the country to be excessive, and without parallel in
the annals of meteorology. On the 29th of July, Reau-
mu r's thermometer stood at 321 degrees, or 105 of Fahren-
heit. This extraordinary observation, it is added, was
made with a correct thermometer, exposed to the North,
70 feet from the ground, and entirely out of the influence
of the solar rays. At Rochelle the heat was still greater,
on the 28th, at two o'clock, Reaumur's thermometer
indicated 30 degrees, and on the 29th, at the same hour
was at the almost incredible height of 35, equal to 112
degrees of Fahrenheit ! These tremendous heats, as might
have been expected, have burnt up and destroyed the vines,
the grass, and a large quantity of wall-fruit.

STATE OF TRADE.—We are happy to state
that another advance upon calicoes took place in our market
on Tuesday last, which, when added to the previous ad-
vances which have from time to time been obtained, males
the rise of that description of cloth full 25 per cent, above
the lowest quotation at which they were sold during the
late depression. The stoeks of calicoes have not been so
low, we believe; for some years as they are at the present
moment. There has not, however, been much done in
yarn for exportation. The demand for that article has
indeed been limited for some time in the contidental !Barkete;
but there has been an increasing demand for India, espe-
cially for the finer yarns. We understand that the demand
from the continent also has lately been for finer numbers
than formerly. We are happy to add that the wages of
weaving are now sufficient to enable the weaver to earn,
by industry, a comfortable livelihood ; having risen, in
some instances, as much as 125 per cent...Manche:ter

SURREY ASSIZES.-(THIS DAY.)

HOME CIRCUIT.—CROYDON.
(Before Mr. Justice as SE LE v.)
The press of criminal cases was so great that Mr.
Sergeant ONSLOw sat in the Magistrate's room, this
day, to dispose of the lighter cases, in order to get
through them to-morrow.
The Court below was crowded by respectable
females, and the deepest interest seemed to prevail
whilst the following case which had been fixed for
this morning, was proceeded with.
London, England, 1827-08-10

FOREIGN COMPETITION.

ABBEVILLE, AUG. 3.—We have heard that the
English growers of wool entertain much apprehen-
sion, lest the great number of sheep of the Leices-
tershire breed, that have been recently imported into
France, may, ere long, prove a serious injury to the
English agriculturist, and that, unless a heavy protect-
ing duty is laid upon the importation of wool into
Great Britain, the owners of flocks will be ruined.
Now, we can assure those who have these fears, that
there is not the least reason for them. The English
landed proprietor is calling for a protecting duty on
the importation of wool. If the Government were
to add 100 per cent. to the present duty, the same
quantity of foreign wool would come into England,
as that of native growth cannot be employed in the
manufacturing of cloth, unless mixed with the finer
sort of Saxon or Spanish wool. The English grower
would derive no benefit from the augmentation in
the duty ; the wearer of the cloth would be the only
sufferer—unless, index d, he consented to clothe him-
self in apparel of no finer texture than a coachman's
box-coat.

—We are acquainted with several gentlemen-farmers
in this department, who for more than eighteen
months have had sheep of the Leicestershire breed
in their possession ; and it is their opinion that, in
the course of a few years, the wool will degenerate,
become short, thick, and coarse, instead of being long
and silky ; they already perceive a great difference
in the fleece of those sheep which have been bred in
France, and the change they attribute to the dryness
of the atmosphere, the bad quality of the grass upon
which they feed, and the neglect of the French
farmers, who are pot acquainted with the peculiar
nature of these animals.
Four years ago, the above-mentioned gentlemen
imported several English pigs, and knowing them
to be superior to the long-legged French swine,
they intended to get rid of those they had, and re-
place them with the English ones; they were per-
fectly successful in their attempt, 24 of these ani-
mals were sent to the same market of Amiens, and
were disposed of to the butchers at a greater price
than that obtained for the French ones. A few
months after this, a similar number was sent to the
same, market, when not a single purchaser was
to be found; the following curious reason was given
by the butchers why they would not bey the pigs
of Ynglish breed—thy pork, they said, was infinitely
superior in flavour to their own, but being of a much
more compact nature than the French meat, a pound
of the former appeared of less magnitude than the
same weight of native pork, which is stringy and
porous, and the consequence was, that their cus-
tomers could not be persuaded but that they were
cheated, or that at all events, meat of so dense a
nature must be unwholesome. The gentlemen,
therefore, were reluctantly compelled to destroy the
English breed, and take to the long-legged French
pigs.

LAW- INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS DAY.)

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
IN THE MATTER OF PARKINSON, A BANKRUPT.
TiieVICE-CIIANCELLOR was occupied the greater
part of the day in examining the proceedings in the
bankruptcy of a person named Parkinson, formerly
carrying on the business of carver and gilder in Dimn-
street, Sobo. The case came before the Court upon
a petition on the grounds of gross fraud. The
affidavits in support of aad against the petition
were of the most contradictory description, and
it was evident that on the one side or the other
crime had been committed. His Honour designated
it a most wicked case, and directed it to stand over to
Monday next, in order that be might have an oppor-
tunity of making himself acquainted with the facts
as they were set forth in the affidavits, and, more
particularly, that he might look over some account-
books, which appeared to bear upon the merits of
the petition.

SORE THROATS, HOARSENESS, &c.
BUTLER'S ACIDULATED CAYENNE
LOZENGES, are particularly recommended for habitual
sore Throats, relaxation of the Uvula, enlargement of the Ton-
sils, and that description of hoarseness which arises from relaxa-
tion of the membranes of the Throat, and the parts contiguous.
The Cayenne Lozenge has been found of great utility to such
persons as are frequently in the habit of speaking in public; they
may, therefore, advantageously be used in the Senate, at the Bar,
and in the Pulpit, and the highest testimony in' the Musical
World has been advanced in their favour, especially in those cases
where, from the constant use of the voice, or the influence of a
humid atmosphere, the membranes have become relaxed, and di-
minished in their tone.

GENERAL MOURNING.•

It will be seen by the following Official Notice, issued
y'esterday; that the Mourning for his late Royal Highness
the Duke of York is not expected to fintunted by the
Public beyond this day, the term of sii weeks from the
day of his Royal Highness's death, hairing already expired.
This considerate act of his Majesty towards the trading
classes of the community, affords an additional proof (if.
any were required) of his constant paternal attention to
the interests of all descriptions of his subjects

" Lord Chamberlain's Office, Feb. 20, 1827.

" It is the intention of his Majesty, and that ofthe Royal Family.,
to continue their Mourning for his late Royal Highness the Duke
of York and Albany, during the space of six months ; but it is
not expected or desired that other persons should appear in l‘lourn.
ing, except at Court, after' the expiration of six weeks from the
day of his late Royal Highness's demise."

PILYSIOLOGY.—IIt speaking of the physiology of the
lungs, there are certain :acts we have to advert to, and one is, the
change wrought upon the air inspired. Now what we draw in by in-
spiration, we know very well contains 27 parts of pure air, oxygen
gas ;72 of azote, and one or so of carbon. Then we know that
what we expire abounds with carbonic acid gas, and that a cer-
tain portion of oxygen is taken away from it ; this is the change
wrought in the air we inspire. And what is the change wrought
in the blood by respiration ? That which went forth by the pul-
monary artery purple—dark-purple blood, returns by the veins
scarlet-coloured blood. Then it is believed now that the change
is wrought principally by parting with the carbon. I cannot,
however believe, that that's the sole cause of the change, because
it is such a striking differenc,e.—Abernethy's Lectures.
UNEMPLOYED COMPOSITORS.--Last night a con-
cert and ball took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the
benefit of the unemployed Compositors, which was respectably
attended, evincing the sympathy with which the privations of
that body of industrious men are generally regarded ; exposed to
distress by causes on which they can exercise no influence, their
destitute situation will surely continue to receive that aid from
the more fortunate which has hitherto mitigated their sufferings.
Misses Romer and Parton, Messrs. Mather, Robinson, and Tay-
lor, and several other professional ladies And gentlemen, assisted
in the concert, which gave general satisfaction ; and the ball,
under the superintendance of Mr. Wilson, was continued with
great spirit until a late hour. •

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

The Opera entitled Das Unterbrochere Opperiest, or the
Oracle, translated from the German of Winter (a name well
known on the continent), and originally produced at the English
Opera House, was transferred for the first time last night, to the
boards of this Theatre. The cast of characters, with some few
exceptions, was similar to what it was when originally represented.
Miss Paton (Mira), and Mr. Sapio"(Faulkland), were each in
excellent voice, and sung with even more than their wonted ani-
mation. The latter, in particular, gave his recitative in the pri-
son scene, with more scientific dexterity than we supposed him to
possess. Miss Paton's execution of the pretty little air, " There was a
time ere sorrow," was highly characteristic of its music, which is
simple and plaintive to a degree; this is no slight praise to a
lady who, however highly accomplished as a singer, is yet too
apt to be led astray by the temptations of false and affected
flourishes. To he scientific as a singei, is one thing ; to be na-
tural and full of heart, another, and we think by far the most
essential adjunct to real harmony. As a whole, without refer-
ring to particular passages, to support an opinion of its excellence,
the Oracle is an elaborate and painfully tedious opera. Its music
has a ponderousness, a substance about it, any thing but impressive.
In professed church music, such characteristi•:s are looked for;
but we cannot help thinking that an opera, which from its very
nature, is or should be, of the lighter and more etherial order of
music, should be far differently constructed. The audience
seemed to feel that it should be so, and evinced throughout the
performance a langour.-'-an indifference—that not even the im-
posing splendour of the scenes and decorations could wholly efface.
Really three hours and a half of elaborate music is too much,
even for the patience of the. elect. The manager should look to it.
