NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
• Naaraeaum. SUNDAY A YVESNOON.
The racing season may be said to commeuce to.morrovs, as all

the races which have yet taken place are of misiot considetation in
the sporting world, inasmuch as they are alike inferior in the char-
ratter of the horses and the value of the stakt.., and have little in-

Berme on the bettings on greater events. The Craven Meeting, on
the contrary, brings out most of the horses engaged In the Derby
.7. and other great betting stakes, and consequently takes the lead in
speculatirm with the frequenters of the Turf. The alerting, this.
year, pstssesses en interest beyond its mere speculative character.
Its stokes, &c. unusually numerous, and are of the value olneatly
.threnty.two thousand pounds; and as it occurs during die adjourn-
ment of Parliament fur the Laster r ere:s, it affords an agreeable
re-
llaYation to its 'Members From the fatigues of duty, enabling them to
liilttlge ist one of the noblest amusements of the country. The
programmes of the tliSerent racii,g mooting+ for the year are of the
meat Mistral d, scription. and give ..n almost unprecedented prospect
of sport; so AlUdI an, that inst.:ad of racing twins on the w.irtr,-,ac
was particularly hinted at on the conclusion of the la.t season, it ap-.

_
peered to be" rising into greater notice than ever.
Under the judicious superintendence (4 Lord Lowther, great im-
provements have been effected in the various etiursts. bete, many
inequalities in the ground having been ameliorated, which had fre-
qu.titly been complained of as dangerous: Of the betting here on
the Stakes to be run this week, we are unable to give any quotation,
for up to the closing of our parcel little had been done, the principal
men of business not having yet arrived. The Heath has been
nunietous'y attended all day to see the horses, vast numbers being
net at esereise; indeed, there are supposed to be betWtien 400 and
MO horses now in training herr, a greater number than we ever
khrw before. They ate in excellent condition ; nor do we know
of a single horse ip regular training that can he said to be amiss.
_There has been a great deal of rain here, particularly last night ; but
the ground continues In the finest order fur the running. The
• lodgings ale getting very soarer; and front many carriages and four,
• hacks, and servants coming its every minute, there is not the slightest
doubt that the present will equal, if not surpass, any former Meet-
ing. His Grace the Duke of Rutland takes up.his residence at the
King's Palace, in the aparttisents finmerly occupied by Mr.Dundas,
and where'hia Grace will have dinner parties every evening during
'the Week. Lord and Lady Sefton will alio give splendid dinner
parties.

His Majesty's Stag Hounds met at Riching's Lodge. The stag

The Judges of the Supreme Court at Madras wear
• nearly similar robes to the English Judges; but, at
I resent, they dispense with wigs, from which the Bar
are also exempt, though the Calcutta Judges still bubo
tnt to that grievous penalty ! Upon the first formation
of the Court, however, Sir Thomas Strange, the Chief
Justice, had strongly urged that the dignity and de-
corum of the Bench required the Judges to wear them.
A batch of them were accordingly sent for from En-,-
land. The cock roaches had amused themselves during
the passage with the wt of the Chief Ju,tice, and had
made such havock with its that he came into Court
with 'Jae of his ears ridiculously projecting out of a
latge hole, which those voracious reptiles had eaten on
oae side of it. A laugh, half suppressed, from the Bar
and the officers of the Court. admonished him of the
unfostuna:e hiatus; but, in arder to cover the protrud-
ing ear, he pulled the wig so much awry. as to leave
the otker still more exposed. Sir Henry Gwillim, con-
stitutionally irascible and nervous, bore the victim-
luance. with great cr mposure ; but it was too much for
Sir Benjamin Sulivan, who, finding that the wig her-
bouted'in its labyrinths an immense host of mosquitoes,
detached parties of which-weer bussing every moment
about his face, and feeling also his head to be in a stair
of unwonted perspiration, snatched it off on a sudden
lit sof indignation, and threw it, with an oath that was
m'arievi: at extra-judicial, into the middle of the Ct,ur t
Ks exam! I• 1,,,„5 instinctively followed by the two
others; and the three 'wogs, flying from the bench, and
Plightlligr like so many birds, on the same spot, coo•
tituted a most irresistible specie: of farce. A roar
laughirt ensued ; and it Was some time before the Qum
could recover its gravity sufficiently to go on with the
b usiness.
