THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM'S PRIZES.
The domain of &owe, at all times a centre of attraction to the
admirers of delightful scenery, afforded on Tuesday the additional
inducement to visit it which the prizes annually given by his Grace
the Duke of Boczugastate to the Bucks Yeomen never fail to
prove. The prizes this year were three Silver Cups for those of
the yeomen who should prove t►emselves most expert in the sword
exercise, and five Cups for the winners of the Races. The object
of his Grace, it is evident, is by these means to excite emulation
among the persona of whom the Regiment is composed—to mime.
late them to make themselves masters of the sword exercise, and
to polices themselves of good horses—it being one of the condkions
of the race that no horse shall in allowed to run unless it is the pm-
perty of, and has been ridden by a yeoman during the eight days'
exercise, of which every yeoman is required to produce a certificate.
The cups eventually were awarded to—Mr. Richard Butcher,
of Adstock ; Mr. Thomas North, of lluckingkans ; aid Mr. Theis.
Terry, of Hillesden.
This affair having been decided, the yeomen and spectators began
to direct their steps to that part of the park where the race course
was marked out.
The race room was marked out in the usual place—being a
circle describing a measured mile, and his Grace's gated was under
the canopy of t►e some lofty and luxuriant trees, arid near it was a
marquee, where a collation was set out for his friends. Their Graces'
the Duke and Duchess of Buckingham came on the course in their
pony-chaise about eleven o'clock, and took their seats la his Grace's
stand, soon after which the races commenced. The Marquis of
Chandos and Bailey, Kai. were the Judges.

There is an old adage in most of the hop districts, the
truth of which has often been verified, which is, that—
• Till Saint James be come and gone,
Them- way he hops, or there may be miner
and as St. J..mes s Day ivint till the 2.5.11 of July, there
is still a boils interval for the speculators to indulge
themselves in.

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, SI ARK-LANE, Just' ie.

Although there was a good supply of Wheat tit& morning, the
trade was hei.k at au advance of full 55. per quarter on the priers of
last Monday, 725. to 735. basing been obtained for fine samples;
and there is every appearance of a fort.bev augmentation, in conse-
quence of the defeat of the new Corn Bill in the House of Lords, by
the success of the Duke of Watumayon's opposition to it, which will
pievent the liberation of a large quantity of bonded When. upon
iwhich the millers had sanguinely depended. Barley, Beans, and
Peas are full Ys. per quarter dearer, and expected to be moth higher
on account of the great scarcity of the above articles. The inassernre
arrival of Foreign Oats during but week, which is dal, asgmenting,
has so depreiked the trade, that sales were with difficulty effected at
an abatement of full Its. per quarter. The ad•ahee of fo. per sack
en Flour which took place on Wednesday, when the fate of the
Corn Bill was known, has been firmly established to day, by the
briskness in the demand at the advanced price.

-tented the miller' froth purchasing io any great extent ; but th's
advance has been hard.on.thesales of to-day. Holders of bonded
grain Lave not yet evinced any disposition to give way in price,
many helot sanguine that some legislative enactments foe the rea
lease of the foreign corn will yet take place.—There has been a g od
demand for Cotton today, chiefly from the Trade, and 2,200 bags
have bees sold at the prices of the former part of the week.
Carron Woot:—The import this week is .small, not exceeding
3,041 bags; the sales reach 12,140 bags at full prices.—There are
no later advices from New York of the prices of Cotton and rate of

an abominable lie. You cannot have ton many : pokers,

HORS! STCALING.—Friday niAht, or S4tUt 4y morn-
ing. some villains contrived to enter the stables of Sir
ASTLEY COrPER. Bart. at his seat at Gadesbridge, ne.ir
Hemel Hempstead, anestole two valuable horses, one
a bay gelding, and the other a bay cob. On the dis-
covery of the robbery, instant pursuit was made after
the •illains, an I they were pursued upwards of SO miles,
when all trace was lost of the I,ffendets.

Tuesday- last, -as some labourers were digging turf
on a moor, in the township of Wadsworth, not far from
the house of the late Mr. Shackleton, at four feet below
the surface, they found the body of a young man, who
has been missing about 27 years, and who, it is sup-
posed, was murdered by his own father. The body
was lying upon a sack, and was in such * state of pre-
%creation, as to be easily ideatified by the old neigh-
bours. The flesh was still firm on his bones; the bile,
which was red, was fresh and bright, and on one of his
leet, whicfi was lame, he wore a boor, as when living.
His father has long since gone to his account.--:Leeds

Saturday, between the hours of one and two a's) ek,
an accident of a most distressing nature happet ed in
St. James's p irk, to a young Lady named FITIWILLI nit.
residing in Wigmore.streer, Cavendish square. Mi s
Ftrzwita.tau, it appears, had been paying a mooning
visit to a friend in Westminster, and was proceeding
homewards through the Park, in a gig, to which was
harnessed a fine spirited horse, driven by a young foot-
boy, when the animal became testive, and suddenly
took fright. The strength of the driver failing him, he
was net able to compete with*the infuriated animal, end
it °vet tat ned the vehicle, and threw Miss FITZ, !WA)/
with great violence upon the ground. The unfortunate
Lady was taken up in a state of insensibility, and sur-
Aical assistance being promptly procured, she was
placed in a hacknercoach, and conveyed to her rest.
dence, where she now lies in a very precarious sta c.
Her fate was dreadfully disfigured, and it is feared ahe
seas received a fracture in the skull.
