GREAT STEEPLE CHASE

Yesterday was the appointed time for the great Sweepstake
Steeple Chase, over twenty miles of rough country, between
Captain Houses and Messrs. Ronems and Mosvaosszar, frr
Fifty Guineas each. The match took place at eight o'clock
the morning, from Chorley, Bucks, to Nettlebed-Hill, Oxford-
shire, amidst a field of fox-hunters. Captain Holmes rode a
famous bay mare, late the property of Mr. Bitchy, and one of
the best of the Farley Hunt; Mr. Ricketts was mounted on his
horse Sipper ; and Mr. Montgomery on his roan gelding. The
three went of together, accompanied by about a dozen horse-
men and broke from the•road towards the ridge coppices; but
previously to arriving there, each had some, hazardous leaps.
The Captain rodethroagh the first coppice, and his aotagcricts
' skirted it at different angles, and pursued their own course. At
Wycomb Inclosures the Captain was observed at full speed ; and
about a mile on the right was Mr. Ricketts, making full play.—
The race was here very interesting between the two, Mr. Mont-
gomery having lamed his horse in crossing a rivulet. Captain
Holmes had level but heavy riding fisur miles from home, and
Mr. Ricketts was about half a mile behind, on another track,
where the horse could make better play, but Captain Holmes
won the match by four-minutes. He was the favourite at five
to four against each,6f his antagonists, and he performed the dis-
, tante (about twenty miles as a bird might By) in one hour and
thirty-one minutes.

Como lixcuanon, bia.ax-iaate, Maim 8.---There is no altera-
tion in the Wheat trade to-day, but the demand continues very
disproportionate to the sopplies.'and sales of all descriptions
were exceedingly heavy at Monday's prices. The advance on
Harley that took place on Wednesday, in consequence of the al-
lowance of duty on the stocks on hand, was fully supported t 0
day, having had but few arrivals this week. Fine Oats sold on
full as good terms as on Monday. In fkkans and Peas there is
no alteration.

Sxrrurrttn Mawr, MAICII &--There Was a plentiful sup•
ply at market this morning of all descriptions of Cattle, left over
from last market-day; in consequence of which the prices of all
kinds of Cattle were lower, and none but prime met with ready
sale.
