SPURTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON. RACES=Tnuasztair, Cowman.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York arrived on the Downs at
few minutes before two o'clock, on his favourite grey cob, and was
received with the acclimation. of the spectators. His Royal Highs
tress was dressed in a plain blue frock, and was attended by a single
groom. His Royal Highness remained on the Course some time
after the Rau., to settle the arrangements for Friday.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
(who during their stay here have laid aside the pomp and ceremony
of station, joining promineuntisly in the group of pedestrians, and
occasionally visiting the daffereht shops and repositoties, making
purchases, &c.) were present, and did not quit the Course till After
the first heat for the plate.
After the running for the Gold Cup, it was exhibited to the public
from the Judges' Stand, and was much. admired for the exquisite
nearness of its execution. It is a very chaste specimen of art.
'lke result of the race for the Gold Cup completely floored the
knowing ones, Bizarre having been backed to a large amount at 5
to 2 against the field. The race, towards its conclusion, was finely
contessed, and never was finer jockeyship displayed than: by hISC
dooald on Cidnus. R. Boyce rode Dahlia, and Arnold Bizarre.
The Brighton Stakes of 23 sovereigns each, 15 ft. with 100 added
by the Town. Two Miles.
Lord Egremont's brother to Black and All Black, 3 yrs, Tst 1
Mr. Grevilk's Frogmore, 3 yrs old, 6st. Bth. . .
Mr. Scarth's b. c. El Dorado, 4 yrs old, 7st. 91b. . . dis.
Betting.—Before it was known that Ganyrnede was not to run,
the odds were 2 to 1 on him ; but on Lord George intimating that
his horse was lame, and would not start, the odds immediately
turned to even betting, and 5 to 4 on El Dorado.
_

A prettier race could not have been run than this was between
the two first : it was very truly run. Lord Egremont's took the lead
at starting, and kept it for a third of the ground, when Prognaore
had nearly fetched him, laying close on hie quarters. On making
the hollow just before the turn, it was evident that El Dorado was
dead beat, being some lengths behind. On rounding the corner,
tke tiro others were head and head; and thus placed, they made a
beautiful race till within 10 yards of home, when L.sr.l Egrensont's
shot ahead, and won the sue by half a length. Rode by Mr.
Wyndham's buy (Bdwards). This is the same horse that ran the
dead heat with Muleteer at the July Meeting. Frognsure was rode
by R. Boyce, and El Dorado by Sans. Barnard. The knowing ones
were againfiumcd.

Lord Egrensom's b. c. by Warrior, 3 yrs 3 dr.
There was very little betting on this Race; Whipcord, however,
was the favourite.

Whipcord took the lead at starting, and though very bard
pressed by Dahlia, kept it, winning a capital race by half a length,
na walking over for the second heat. Rode by Miller ; Dahlia,
b Barnard ; and Warrior, by Dockery.

A prettier race was never run on this or any other Course. The
three went of together, and kept close to the turn, where °alphale
was beat. The run was then between the other two, and, till Within
five or six lengths, it was anybody's race. The winner is the
property of his Majesty. Wheatly rode Lord Enter's, and Arnold
Lord Egremont's.

and got in front, winning the first heat by a bead ; and the second

Bt other to Antonio, by Dckkery ; and Jack Dunce, by Edwards.

lations. The concourse of spectators was immense, as great if not
greater than on the first day.

General MINA arrived at Exeter on Monday evening,
where he intends passing a few days.
Mr. MORRIS BIRKStCK, a Gentleman, who a few
years ago left England for the United States, and settled in the
Illinois, where he became Secretary to the State, was, we regret
to learn, lately drowned, in crossing a stream on his way home
from a visit to Mr. OMEN, at Ihrmony. Mr. Braze= was tbe
founder of New Albion, the zealous promoter of emigration from
Great Britain, and the author of a vivid description of the Western
Country, to which Casein wrote a powerful answer, and gave a .
very different picture of the Prairie. His lose, says an American
Paper, will be severely felt by the emigrants of the west. His
dear was ever open, and his purse was ever at the soviet 0 " the
homeless wanderer." He has left four sons and two daughters.
The back-woodsmen called him the " Emperor of the Prairies"
on nowt of his baying, at a single peplum, 16,000 acres of
public land.
MECHANICS' InstrruTimr.—Yesterday evening, Dr.
Burs= delivered the Ant Lecture at the New Theatre of the
Instkudoni in Southampton-builJings. on the general principles of
mechankalscience. The principal feature of the lecture was the
description of a machine, invented by a watchmaker of the name
of Duca, in America, and not yet brought into use in this country,
which acts as a crane for raising weights with a power far beyesd
any before known. The Learned Doctor said it was scarcely pee.
sible to imagine any machine more simple or more ote.
