ASCOT RACES.

These sports began on Tuesday. Their high character depends chiefly on the presence of the King, with which, from their vicinity to Windsor, they have been for many years honoured. The presence of the Monarch was marked on this occasion by a disagreeable occurrence, and one which might have been attended with dangerous consequences. Fortunately the rare offence of an assault on the person of the King, to which we allude, was as harmless to his Majesty as it seems to have been unprovoked in the ruffian perpetrator. The meeting of Tuesday was far from numerous, but the Royal party was macrons and splen- did. The cavalcade reached the race-course a few minutes after one. There was a decent show of congratulation on its appearance. The King, one account says, looked cheerful and well ; the Queen seemed to labour under bad health and low spirits. According to other accounts, both of them seemed to enjoy the sport exceedingly; which enjoyment does not very well accord with depression of body or mind. On the termination of the first race, the King and Queen, and several of their attendants, were standing at the window of the Royal Stand, when, on a sudden, his Majesty started, and exclaimed " Oh God ! I am hit." From the exclamation, and the excitement that accompanied it, it would appear that the King - had at the moment imagined he was struck with a bullet. The con-

fusion of the Royal party was great, but it was almost instantly termi- nated by the King taking off his hat, and, having passed his band over his forehead, observing to the attendants, who crowded round him, that he was not hurt. The blow was then perceived to have been inflicted with a stone thrown from the crowd in the front of the stand. It bad been delivered with good will, for it produced a deep dint in his Ma- jesty's hat. In a few moments, his Majesty again stepped forward to the window, and showed himself to the people, whom the attack bad alarmed quite as much as it had the Royal party. He was then rap- turously cheered. The Queen, who also came forward, participated in the greeting bestowed upon the Sovereign. The conduct of the Royal party on the occasion was modified, as might be expected, by their individual characters. The poor Countess of Errol, a very woman, when the first terrible pang was over, and the King declared that he had sustained no injury, burst into a passion of unrestained tears-

" oh! mother Nature, how thyself thou blazonest !"

Thoughout the whole of the trying scene, the Queen, on the con- trary, seems to have conducted herself with that ealnmess and decorum which is so generally characteristic of ladies of her nation and rank. While the Royal suite were attending to the King, the ruffian who threw the stone was immediately seized by the Police in attendance, and conveyed away for examination. The sports of die day, which had been for a moment interrupted by this most unforeseen accident, were soon resumed, and continued and ended very much to the satisfaction of the spectators. The- races were numerous, the day was fine, and the course in the best possible condition. We give the sports of each day during the meeting.

The rat es on Wednesday were flat, from want of the excitement • that the company supply, rather than the horses, at these and all similar amusements.

The presence of the Royal party on Thursday—the great day—en- livened the scene; but the coming on of a heavy rain immediately after the running for the Hoof, operated as a sad damper. The Hoof- -whose reappearance, after an absence or many years, on a theatre where no hoof of equal speed has ever trod—was that of the thrice famous racer Eclipse, which, having been superbly mounted with gold, was presented to the Jockey Club when his Majesty last entertained the members at St. James's Palace. The exclusion from the race of all persons not members of the Club, led, as such exclusive attempts always • do, to a poor and pitiful issue. It is a fact which the aristocracy are exceedingly anxious to blink, though it cannot be wholly unknown to them, that for all their high-flown talk of their own dignity, and for ;ill their contempt of their inferiors, they are incapable, without the re- sistance of these inferiors, of getting up the most insignificant of the insignificant displays for which they would claim a ,peculiar aptitude. Their Almacks, were it not for the breaking in of the profane vulgar upon its sacred defences, and for the attendance of aparcel of whiskered foreigners, whose claims the Patronesses are glad to pass without scru- pulous investigation, would long ago have died of a natural decline ; their clubs, their concerts, their dinners, their fetes, stand equally in need of such accessions of fresh blood, to keep their parts from morti- fication. They are unable, without black-legs and grooms, to get up

• even a horse-match ; and were a donkey-race proposed to them, the fifteen baron gentry would not be able to keep the field against a club of gipsies or chimney-sweepers' apprentices. The affair of the stone seems, to have been much less considered on the spot than at a distance,: on Wednesday it had ceased to be talked about, and on Thursday it was forgotten. Their Majesties were re- ceived on Thursday in much the same fashion as on Tuesday. They did not leave the ground until seven o'clock, and were heartily cheered as they departed. With all the posse of police and constables, the ground seems to have been but indifferently kept. The King having on Thursday thrown a sovereign to a poor woman who besought his charity, there was an instant fight under the very Royal Stand among the blackguards who sought to deprive her of it.
