nisniniuTioN OF PRIZE-MONEY.

The Hind and Active, for la Jeanne, the tOth of July, on
board; recalled at No. 2, litrr-street, Plymouth-dock.

The Holy Alliance, we understand, is now piously
engaged in concerting measures for the purpose of
maintaining the authority of the Beloved FERDINAND
in South Americo. Each of the maritime Powers,
parties in this Confederacy, will, according 'to re-
port, contribute its quota of ships to the formation of
a formidable fleet for this purpose. England, in ad-
dition to its Foreign Enlistment Prevention Bill, will
of course furnish a full share. Commodore Sir Tito-
MAS HARDY had on Friday a very long conference
with the Board of Admiralty, relative to his corn-
Mend in South America. The gallant Captain will
leave town in a few days, to hoist his broad pendant
on boars! the SUPERB, of 74 guns, at Portsmouth.
Our Readers are apprised that the VENGEUR, of 74
guns, will be also under his command. These two
ships are now at that ports waiting for men ; the lat-
ter wants upwards of one hundred to increase her
complement to 540. She has been completed (ac-
,' cording to her only present orders) for foreign ser-
vice. -The HYPERION, Captain T. SEARLE, C. B. ar-
, rived at Portsmouth from the Leith station last week.
She is also fitting for foreign service, and, it is sup-
' posed, to accompany Commodore Sir THOMAS
HARDY. —lt has been generally presumed that
these ships are intended to go out only as a squadron
of demonstration, or of observation, in consequence
of Lord COCHRANE having, by Proclamation, de—
clared all the ports on the coast of Peru and Chili in
a state of blockade. It is probable, however, that
they are only our quota to the general naval force
destined to act in that quarter.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
BRIGHTON, JULY 31.
The second day of the Races was zs productive of good sport
as that which opened the revival of th e diverilam.. 'The Duke
of Your, as the representative of his avgust Brother, appeased
to participate in ovary consideration to promote satisfaction to
those who attended the Coarse ; but still the excessiveheat of
the weather wzs an unsunnountsNe obje.:t, and notwithstanding
the cool sea-breeze on the elevated summit of the race-course,
the ekshionable company did slot choose to become adventurers
with the torrid zone, in contequerct: the assemblage was nut so i
numerous as yesterday.

The Ladies Purse of cogs. for all ages, was cleverly won by
Mr. Bouverie's chesnat hfirs,e Zadig, in two heats, beating Lord
Egremont's Silvertail, Mr. Clarke's Bertha, and two others.
•
5 to 4 on Zadig-7 to 4 agst Silvertail.
The Hunters' Stakes of .163. each (Six Subscribers), with Zigs.
added from the Racing Fund, was won, after three heats, by
Mr. Hudson's hay gelding honest Tom, beating four others.
A Match for 50gs. between Mr. King's bay gelding, .5-yrs-old,
and Mr. Ball's bay gelding Lustre, afforded muck sport, as it
occasioned two heats.—lt was woi by the former.
A number of Sporting Gentkmen came here to-day, not on
account of the races, but for a singular determination of regu-
lating their engagements on the St. Leger's Stakes, at Doncaster.
It appears that Doncaster Races were appointed to take place
on the 27th of September next, and, by some agreement, they
were yesterday fixed for the 20th; thus bringing them forward
a week. Th,se Gentlemen who have laid immense sums on the
issue of the St Leger's, contend tlu.t their bets are off; whilst
others, who make sure of winning, oppose the prir.ciple of an
alteration in time dissolving all previous contracts. This business
will cause a great bustle among the sporting circles.

CRICKET.

Wednesday last a Match at Cricket was played at March-
wood, Hams, between eleven single and eleven married women
of that place, which was won by the former by a oonsid•rable
number of notches! Thousands of spectators assembled on the
ground, amongst whom were some of the first respectability and
Fashion, to witness this singular contest.
