A sudden and very agreeable change • took place In the weather
this morning ;—from being cold and wet, it is now favourable in
tte extreme—dry and hot. This change had the effect of main
thesitendance on the Heath nearly as numerous as on the Kid d les-
worth day, and the scene was very cheerful. Besides' long list of
lashionables, the following Nobility and Gentry were present—
The Dukes of Portland, Grafton, Richmond, and Dorset ; Mar-
tinis's of Exeter, Tavistock, and Graham ; Earl and Countess of
Sefton and Family ; Earl and. Countess of Clarendon ; Lord and
Lady C. Fitzroy; Lady Caroline Powlett ; Lords Lowther,Jersey,
Vnelam, J. Fitzroy, Bentitick, Stradbrooke, Durnvich, Anson;
Sin J. Shelley and J. Byng ; J. Peel, Esq. M.P. E. Yates, Esq.
llews. Powlett, Anson, Greville, Leeson, Wortley, &c. There
woe also many elegant females present.
In tke evening there were several dinner parties.
lin Sant entertained the Marquis of Graham, Lord J. Fitzroy,
Ltd Donsirick,, and Colonel Leeson.
Lad Sefton entertained Lord and Lady Clarendon, Sir John
Hoo. Mr. De Roos, Hon. Colonel Anson, Mr. Greville,
awl a ley others.—The Marquis of Graham had a select dinner
pany, at which were present his Grace the Duke of Richmond,
and tome other fashionables.

The Jockey Club Dinner, in consequence of these private parties,
oat not so numerously attended. The following members, how.
ever, were there: Lord Verulam, Lord Lowther, Lord Orford,
Mr. fielyoake , Mr. Goddard, Mr Rush, Mr. Keating, Mr. Stanley,
Nr.Wieram' Mr. Roberts, Mr. Payne, Me. F. Mills, Mr. Irby,Ece.
Some few departures have taken place, including the Marquis
of Sligo; the Marquis of Blandford (for town) ' • J. Peel, Req.
;bother to the late Secretary of State), for town ; ,Almond Yates,
(for town) ; and two or three others. The town, however,
tastinsies very full. Some brisk betting took place this afternoon
a the Course, and in the Town this evening ; and as far as regards
tie Oaks, it was of a more general nature than any which hashes.,
ewe in the coarse of the week, many of the favourites having Wa-

ST. LOGES.
There was no betting on this Stakes ; it ii waiting the event of the
Cowlick Races, where some of tie principal favourites are ca-
noed to ran. The field is backed at about 14 to 1.
His Grate the Duke of Grafton's horses are beginning to assert
Ur wonted superiority ; they have picked up some tolerably
Pea stakes this week (about 2,0001.) and promise fair to become
becwites. Mr. Payne's nurses cut a good figure on the Exercise
6tonad-4hey are twelve in number, and from this being the hut
TM of 51r. P.'s establishment of a regular stud, attract much
*creation. They look well, aud do credit to their trainer, Mr.
Cooper. All the horses in traiuing here are, in fact, in excellent
coditim. Lord Verulam's filly out of Varenrses, which won two
Wes on Tuesday, is called Brocard.
The lavers of sport were disappointed on Tuesday last, as the
Anatol Easter Plate on Barham Downs was not contested, Air.

OTTER HUNTING.
The lovers of otter hunting would have had a good day's sport
they l‘een so fortunate as to have followed the Presteign hounds
throughout the day on Monday last. The pack met by appoint-
ment on the river Arrow, under Lyonshail Park, a short distance
below Kington, where they were met by a few couples of the
Kington hounds; the dogs tried down the river for six or seven
Mies to Pembr'dgt.bri4e, when the Kington dogs returned ; but
the Presteign men being full of pluck, and the dogs well known to
be staunch, proceeded on the course of the river a few miles lower,
when they came on the drag, and away they dashed full of spirit,
and a Brier bunt was never seen ; the pack found in style, and kept
well on the otter fur full three hours, and at length worried him out
of all his retreats, and succeeded in killing as desperate a dog-utter
ever was seen on that river. Ills weight was upwards of 23iIb.

When GREGORY, the Patriarch of Constantinople,
int put to death by the Turkish Government, DANIEL, the
itironpolitaar of Adrianople—a man of a short stature, and of a
"tIY, active, and pious turn of mind, conceived his turn might be
itir mit ; but sn closely where the Greeks of that city watched,
'bat the only mode left for him to effect his escape, was to suffer
noelf to be headed up in an empty cask, which was pot into
tut, amidst hogsheads of wise destined to the coast of the Elaine.
I,n,las style the
safely was jolted about for three days, he-
m, he could be shipped to Russia.
, Dr. RADCLIFFE to:d DT. MEAD one day, " MEAD, I
wt roe; and DOW I will tell you a sure secret to make your for-
lo, —use all mankind ill." He was avaricious, and would never
tay bids " without much importunity. A pavier, after long and
unless attempts, caught him just getting out of his chariot at his
litoontsbury•square, and bet upon him,—" Why, you
Olt Doctor, do you pretend to be paid for such a piece
_I work sky
you have spoiled my pavement, and then covered
i o'4r with earth to hide your bad work." " Doctor," said the
pater* "'Hine is not the only bad work the earth hides." " You
V. Yon," s.,id the Doctor are you a wit' you must be poor..—
enure to and be p,tid." ,
