ROYAL HUNT.
Monday last, a large field of sportsmen attended at King's Beech
Hill. to meet his Majesty's stag hounds, which hunted on that day
for the first time this season. After a short run the stag attemp.mi
to enter the door of Mr. Church's house at Bracknell, but was
driven back; being closely pursued he leaped a high fence into a
meadow adjoining, and immediately after the effort dropped dow n
dead. The bounds meet on Friday at Wellington Bridge, near
Virginia Water.
Tuesday, the 10th instant, the Froome Bishop Fox Hounds, he.
longing to John Browne. Req. of Hall Court, threw off at the Vent'
Wood, and afterwards unkennelled, in the Eleven Acres Coppice.
an old smoky dog fox, which had been lately making much havoc
with the poultry in that neighbourhood, and after a very sharp rue
of 47 minutes, without a check, Reynard was killed in gallant style,
near Canon Froome.

Match—Crony and the Comas colt.
Betting 5 to 2 on Crony.
Mr. Mitres Comm colt made all the running• until near the

and winning it rather cleverly. 'ode by Sam Day; Comm colt
by Buckle. _
_ _

Match—Tarapluie and Rachel. A.F.
Betting, 5 to 4 on Rachael.
Paraplule made steady running to the Abingdon mile bottom,
where Rachael went up, and continued with her sane distance, at
a rattling pace, but soon gave way, and was beat rather easy.—
Buckle rode the winner, and Boyce the other.

•
Sweepstakes of lop sou. each. T.Y.C.
Betting 7 to 4 against Pasta, b to 2 against Upas, and S to 2
against Heroine.

There was nothing In this race to remark tin they got to the
ropes, when Pasta and Pantina filly were in front, and the others
completely beat off. The remainder of the ground was run with
considerable truth, and the stakes given to Pasta, who was rode
by Buckle, Pantina by Robinson, Upas by Arnull, and Heroine by
Dockeray.
Sweepstakes of 26 Ems. each. T.Y.C.
Betting, 6 to 4 against Borderer, 2 to 1 against Soubrette, and
5 to 2 against Novice (the winner).
This race excited no interest whatever, as the winner was to be
sold for 150 guineas.. Borderer kept the front with tolerable run-
ning nearly home, bat Novice' who had been on the look out, then
came out, got the lead, maintained it, and won easy ; rode by young
Buckle, Borderer by Buckle, and Soubrette by Cowley.
The Prendergast Stakes. T.Y.C.
Betting 6to 4 against Brother to Attica, to 1 against Morel,
and 4 to 1 against Belvoirina filly (the winner).
From the interest and importance which always attic's to this
race, the betting was very brisk, and its result was looked for with
considerable anxiety. Brother to Attica, although he ran third for
the Clearwell Stakes on Tuesday, was first favourite, it only 6 to 4.
At starting Attica jumped off, and made severe running,watched
by Belvoirina, closely followed by the others. Attica kept the lead
until near the cords; when Belvoirina and Morel came up and
challenged, the latter, however, could do no good; the remainder
of the distance was beautifully run, but, when close at home, Bel-
voirina threw herself in front in a most surprising manner, and
carried off a stakes worth nearly E 700; rode by Boyce, Attica by
Robinson, Morel by Chifney, Spite by Chft ; Sparkler, the Flyer
filly, by Barnard, and sister to Gironette by Arnull.
Match—Enamel and Babel. A.F.
Babel led to the bushes, with Enamel at her haunches, at which
spot the horse came up, and racing commenced. It would be
superfluous to say more than that, after a beautiful head and heed
race as was ever seen on this or any other course, the Judge pro.
nounced it a dead heat. Babel (who won the Oaks) was rode by
A null, Enamel by Robinson.
This race brought an excellent week's sport to a conclusion, in
which we have great pleasure in noticing the good fortune of the
Duke of York's horses ; they have run very well, and netted his
Royal Highness about A 2,000.

The Swedes are so fond of sweet sauces, that even
Rhenish wine is seldom drunk by them without a mixture of sugar.
A circumstance occurred on Wednesday se'nnight,
which shows in a striking point of view the estimation in which the
Bishop of Finns is held by the population In his Lordship's neigh-
bourhood. It having transpired that his Gram intended to have
his lawn ploughed up, the peasantry voluntary came forward with
upwards of fifty ploughs. Protestants and Roman Catholics vied
with each other in this demonstration of their respect.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARX-LANE, Ocv.
The ariivab of most kinds of Corn last week were considerable,
Inclusive of the large supply of foreign Oates There was also a
good quantity of Flour. This morning fresh arrivals are short.—
There is a good attendance of buyers today, and prime samples of
Wheat being scarce, obtain rather higher prices than last Monday ;
there is also more life in other qualities at last quotations. Barley,
for making, sells freely at previous prices • grinding parcels are also
much in demand. Beans, of good quality, are enquired after :
there are few at market, which sell readily at former quotations.—
In Belling and Grey Peas no variation. Foreign Oats are here In
abundance; and though the buyers hesitate, yet such parcels as are
in shipping condition, have sold so the same terms as last Monday.
In Flour no alteration.
