We do not ever recolle witnessing a greater display of beauty and fashion on our Course an that of this day. It seemed as if every Nobleman and Fa ly, as well as Gentry and persons of every description Won • g to the country, were present, accompanied with the most splendid equipages. The weather was must propitious, and the'sport very fair.  Sernrottoo.—An ingenious swindling transaction took place at Brighton on Saturday evening. A man who keeps a shop in Ironmonger-lane, purchased a shoulder of mutton.at Mr. Palmer's, butcher, and having paid for it, ordered it to be sent to kis house. The boy was dispatched with the mutton, and at the door of the house was accosted by a man whom he supposed to be the master, with—,. Well, butcher, you have brought the mutton ; carry it in doors, and tken run directly for two pound of beef-steaks, and bring back change for a one-pound note. The boy listened home, delivered the order, and soon returned with the meat and change. The man was still waiting at the door, and again said to the boy—" You have been g use a long time, and now have not brought the suet " The boy replied—" Yon did not order suet." But I insist 1 did order half a pound s have you brought the change?" The boy replied—" Yes." The 'man then pulled out an old pocket-book, and pretended to put in a one-pound note, and giving it to the boy, told him to be careful of it, and bring him back the book with the suet. He took the change and beef-steaks, and sent the boy back. On hie master ezamining the pocket-book, nothing but a piece of blank pprredrwas found resembling a note. The master inintediatelpsw to the house, but to no purpose; all traces 'were lost et man, meat, and money. De.SPIRATZ AFFRAY AT CHIPPIINHAM, AND A MAN Ett.Lan.—Saturday, between ten and eleven o'clock at night, a party of young men, about thirty in num. ber, from Langley Burrel, and Kingston Langleyi entered Chippenham, armed with bludgeons and other weapons, when they assaulted and most dreadfully beat all persons they met, without any distinction. We are sorry to state, that Mr. HALL, a re. spectable saddler, who was called out of bed by the cry of " Murder," was taken up and carried home dead. Mr. RiYaoLna, a brasier, lies without any hopes of recovery. Mr. Mom', a constable, lies also in a most deplot able state, and upwards of twenty other persons are suffering under severe contusions. Nearly twenty of the assailants, including two'ring. leaders, who are most respectable farmers, are now in custody. This shameful and desperate outrage is said to have originated at the last Kingston Langley Revel, where some offence was taken at the conduct of some young men sat Chippenham.
