They laid 11 to 10 on him, 10 to 1 eget the Knight, and these two were alone in the race. Singling themselves out at the Stand, they ran home togethir, Cap tain Cooper's horse not being able to quite reach the favour rite, who won an exciting race by a neck. The Cup betting had been limited to the two favourites, Lord Clifden and the Chief, a small field being anticipated. After the above race, Mr Merry's colt took a decided lead, and was first favourite when the flag fell. The customary parade of the Cup horses took place in the royal enclosure. Lerd Clifden looked short of work, and the Chief appeared not to have forgotten his previous race. They were get down to the poet after their preliminary canter, and the flag fell about an hour and a half after the time ap pointed. It is sufficient here to say that Wing-ave looked as well as anything until the turn into the straight; that Lord Clifden was never in the race ; and that the Chief, who had been lying well with his horses, came out at the Stand, and won very easily by six lengths.

The flag was lowered to a very unsatisfactory start, Va cuna, whose head was turned from her horses, being left hopelessly behind. The Little Gentleman was the first away, and made the running, closely attended by Master Richard and Glendusk, the three being followed nearly abreast by Scottish Chief, King George, and Knight of Snowdon, close in whose wake came Blue Mantle and Yoang Rapid, Bat taglia and Vacuna bringing up the rear. Approaching the bend Master Richard joined the leader, the pair coming into the straight together, when they were joined by the favou rite, who came up on the inside, and Knight of Snowdon and Glendusk in the centre of the course. They ran thus to half way up, where the Little Gentleman dropped back, and the favourite took a clear lead, but was caught at the enclosure by Knight of Snowdon—Blue Mantle at the same time headed Master Richard and joined issue with the leaders, who finished a fine race hume, Scottish Chief, run ning the longest, winning very cleverly at last by a neck.

They ran thus to the distance, wi en the two leaders drew and came on toge ther to the Stand, when Morgan brought up Auditor and joined the leaders, the three running from this point a close and exciting race home, Lemonade winning in the last stride by a head, the Nervous colt defeating Auditor by a like distance for second. La Mechante was fourth, close up; sister to Tomato tif h; Kathleen sixth, and G , ;dtnersham next.

When fairly in their places Mr M'George lowered his flag, when Mr Sutton's two, on the upper ground, were seen in advance of Convent and the favourite, Zambezi, with La Fortune, The Clown, and Goldylocks following next. On reaching the enclosure JezAbel and her stable companion gave way, and the lead was immediately taken up by Zambezi, who was challenged at the stand by Kcanig, but who failed to getup, and was beaten in a very easy manner by two lengths, a length and a half separating the sccDnd and third. The Clown was a bad fourth, Audax fifth, and Convent sixth; La Fortune and Quaker, side by side, were the next two. Goldylocks and Furze Chat were the last two.

Besides, if Mr. Goss can write for the festivals of the Sons of the Clergy, why not for the anniversary meetings of the children under the dome of St. Paul's ? It is hi s prerogative and, w e may add, his duty. But to begin from the beginnieg—the 100th Psalm— "that dear 0;d H undredth, " as Mr. Thackoray would have said (" All people that on earth do dwein—was sun g by the children, girls and boys, more glorious than ever.

What could more fittingly serve than this to prepare the mind for the earnest act of praye r ? The Hundredth Psalm could never be omitted from this festival, nor could a hope be entertained of finding anything more solid, majestic, and, at the same time, devotional, than the work of Thomas Tallis—Elizabeth's com poser and organist—for the Preces and Responses —a solid rock of harmony, as has been j ustly sa i d,y against which the waves of ti me may beat in vain for ever. This man's feeling for harmony—althoughhe lived long before Purc e ll , for whom so many apologies on the plea of an t i quity have been ima gined—must have been e xtraordinarily profound, seeing what he has done with means so scanty, how plain-so ng " o f so f ew notes.

The Effect was indescribable. George 11. was, indeed, a fortunate monarch in finding a Handel to immortalize his coronation. The innovation suggested and carried out by Mr. Goss, which last year afforded such universal satisfaction —viz., that of substituting for the 113 di Psalm (" Ye saints and servants of the Lord"), which was wont o precede the sermon, the superb and imaginative chorale which forms a climax to the impressive scene of Saul's conversion, in the oratorio of " St. Paul," fora wag r a repeated ; an d i t i s to b e hoped chat, time at least, M en d e l eso h n ' a happily lon g " Sleepers awake" may be retained as part of the musical service on these highly interesting occa sions. It was, on the whole, perhaps, even more admirably performed than last year. The passage, " Hallelujah! awake !—His kingdom is at hand"— with the slowly ascending scale up to F sharp; the superb interludes that divide each section of the chorale from that which follows—the trumpets penetrating, clear and shrill, through the waves of harmony that rushed from the stupendous pipes of the organ; the grand sustained unison on every vocal I:brase, were alike impressive and soul-moving. In short, it may be taken for granted that Men delssohn having once got into St. Paul's Cathedral, it will not be very advisable, or very easy, to turn him out again. Pity that he did not live to do something expresAly for the children's unison, in combination with the harmony of the choir and the .nstrumental accompaniments at disposal. After the sermon, pr eached by the Lord Bishop of Ripon, who took for hi s text chap. 17, verse 17, Gospel of John—" Sanctify them through Thy word ; Thy word is tr uth" —there was, as usual, for the children, the Ist and 4th verses of the 104th Psalm (" My soul praise the Lord"), the tune of which—, whether by Dr. Croft, or by Handel, or by neither, is a very fine One.

The Cup Day on the Heath may be ranked among the most permanent of our racing institutions. A wet day does most materially and seriously affect the Derby ; but, wet or dry, hot or cold, there is a certainty about both the quantity and quality of the Cup Day's audience at Ascot which as yet at least no other of our great national games has been able to command. If anything could have prejudicially in fluenced the attendance on this occasion, the calamitous railway accident, which so sadly marred the first day of this great meeting would have done so. Yet wo aro sure we are speaking within the limits when we say that the gathering of visitors yesterday was as much beyond the gathering of last year's Cup Day as that of Tuesday sur passed its predecessors. As a matter of course, every pos sible precaution was adopted by the railway company en this occasion, and such extra rules of caution had been im pressed upon the drivers of all the engines as to make the journey both down and up one of the slowest for its mileage by rail that could well be effected. The 26 miles from Wa terloo in most instances took nearly two hours to accom plishi and, though by these precautions perfect safety was in a measure insured, yet, as a rule, the public seemed by no means gratified at this display of solicitude on their behalf, and rather resented than otherwise the practieal application of the maxim "slow and sure" when applied to themselves on a racing day. From these remarks it may be guessed that a considerable proportion of the visitors from town were late—not too late, indeed, to see the cup run for, but, in many instances, much too late to see at leisure the aspect of the course itself and its wondrous throng of sightseers. At Epsom every rank, from the very highest to the lowest, is blended in indiscernible gradations, and the crowd which assembles on the Downs is for the time being only a houseless London, carrying with it all the extrava gance and squalor, all the vice, folly, and enjoyment, of the great metropolis. At Ascot it is not so any more than at Goodwood, where the line is broad and well defined which separates high and low. It is needless to enter here upon the thrice-told tale of the appearance of the course. Every one knows now how it has certain rural refinements, which even in their bois terous aspects differ from the wild saturnalia which mark the Epsom gathering. Viewed from its moral aspect, how ever, it may be remarked that the proportion of every grade of sharpers is three or four to one at Ascot as compared with the members of the same fraternity who honour Epsom. The men with the three cards, those of the three peas, even those who have to sell sovereigns and bank-notes, and who adjure the spectators in moving terms to enable them to get rid of a certain number before the clock strikes two, are getting rare at Epsom. London visitors form a most un profitable audience for such transparent sharpers, though among the Ascot rustics they thrive in such a rank luxu riance as leaves little else to see or hear upon the course between the races but their incessant bellowing and en treaties to bet on the cards. For the rest there is much the same role of acrobats and nigger minstrels, girls on stilts, and monkeys on round tables ; children scarcely able to walk upon their feet, yet earning a precarious subsistence by tottering on their hands, and, in short, what one sees always at all the races. Decidedly there is an utter want of novelty in the amusements which these Bedouins of the racecourse offer to their patrons. Is there no genius among these wild tribes who can start something new, something not on stilts, or with its face not blackened, or which has not been pelted at before? It is not easy, we admit, to make the discovery, but, on the other hand, neither is the reward small or uncertain which awaits the fortunate in ventor. The improvements effected in the Grand Stand since last year make it now by far the finest, handsomest, and most commodious Stand in the kingdom. It is, in fact, a model of what such a Stand should be, just as that at Epsom may be said to be in the opposite category. Yesterday all parts of the Stand and its stalls were crowded. The en closure afforded scarcely more than standing-room, while the long slope at the opposite side was crowded, even down to the ccurse, both with carriages and with dense rows of spectators, in suoh numbers as we have nev©r seen before. Another great im provement, which may be said to make this place of racing meeting perfect, is the formation of a saddling paddock, close in roar of the judge's chair, where the animals before starting can be carefully looked to by their trainers and owners, instead of being, as heretofore, saddled anywhere on the course in the midst of crowds so trying to horses of unequal temper as the majority of racers generally are. The new paddock, though not very spacious, is convenient and well kept, has a lofty stand from which the whole course can be viewed, and, above all, admission can only be gained by properly issued tickets, so that the large, rough, and very mixed crowd which fills the paddock at Epsom is here altogether done away with. It was well attended yesterday, and the 10s. fee was grudged by none when they found that they had really got what they had paid for—namely, a quiet view of all the horses before starting. A few minutes after 1 o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Weiss drove up to the Royal Stand in an open oarriage and four, preceded by outriders in the Royal liveries. The suite in attendance followed in an open phaeton drawn by four greys. The reception ac • corded to the Prince and Princess was what may be called quietly hearty and respectful—a reception in which the enthusiasm for the Royal family never passed those bounds beyond which it would have been impossible for them to enjoy the races. The Princess, who now wears half mourn ing, took her place at the window of the Royal Stand, and with a little book of the races in her hand, gave herself up to the enjoyment of the scene with the most vivid interest —an interest apparently as great in its way as that of the Prince himself, who stood beside her. The first race brought a large field of competitors. Fore most in interest and favour was Mr Merry's Scottish Chief, who won his first honours on the Ascot Course, where there was nothing much to speak of after him who was beaten at Newmarket by Cambusoan, and afterwards at Goodwood by Fille de l' Air in a canter. Still he was the favourite, though a slight-looking horse, but perfect in condition and temper, with a deep chest, powerful forehand, and arched loins, and, above all, a light, easy, long stride, that told of " going" when his jockey should call on him near the chair. The Knight of Snowdon and Young Rapid, the former a black colt, whose reputation for staying is fast rising; the latter a light chestnut colt, of great power and endtirence, and who in the two-mile race on Tuesday so easily defeated Little Stag, Birch Broom, and half a score of more cele brated antagonists than himself, were Scottish Chiet's most . formidable opponents. As it turned out, however, they had no chance. Scottish Chief won easily, and, by his subse quent still more easy victory over Lord Clifden for the Cap, vindicated the judgment of the public who lately made him first favourite for the Derby. The St. James's Palace Stakes was a most hollow affair, in which The Beadle had to canter, and the riders of Alpheus and Myrtilus spur hard to follow him at a modest distance. The race for the Plate was carritd off by Mr Payne's Lemonade--the general feeling in the paddock seeming to be that Lord Westmoreland's Auditor stood the best chance. In the Biennial Stakes, Mr Merry's horse Zambesi, which was so badly ridden for the Queen's Stand Plate on Tuesday, when he might hav a won with ease had he been called on earlier, was on this occasion better handled. The final appeal of the jockey was not delayed till the winning post was close a-head. The effort was made just as the Stand was near, and in spite of the long odds of the leaders Zambesi made a magnificent rush and won. The Sweepstakes only brought out three horses, so that all won places, the merit of first being gained by Mr Bowes's Hark Forward, who came in at the last with a spurt, and won. Before the race for the Cap the paddock was crowded, Lord Clifden proving the great centre of attraction. He is wonderfully altered and by no means improved since the Derby of '63, when Macaroni headed him at the distance and seemed to thrust his neck past him. Lord Clifden did his best on that occasion, and will never do so well again. It is a pity Macaroni could not have met him yesterday, but Macaroni, it is said, will never race again, nor, we venture to think, will Lord Clifden. is a most magnificent-looking animal, but not a racer. To judge merely by his appearance among the other horses, he must stand over 16 hands, and all this height is in his legs, which seem overgrown, and look weedy and weak. It seemed almost incredible that Little Stag, a very under sized horse, which he was so meekly following round the paddock, was a better animal as a racer, for we believe Little Stag has a higher racing career before him than ever Lord Clifden will attain. Scottish Chief was again the favourite in the paddock, and certainly his perfect good temper and exquisite condition, notwithstanding the race of the morn inu, justified the confidence of the public, who had seen him win easily, and, in spite of the stride of Lord Clifden, be lieved he would win again. Lord Zetland attracted a good deal of attention, though on the whole Wingrave seemed preferred to him, Unlike the race for the Biennial Stakes the start for the Cup was effected easily, and amid the cheers of thousands Scottish Chief for the second time that day came in an easy winner ; Little Stag second, and Lord Zetland third, Before the race was run the rain, which had been immi nent during the latter part of the day and which had occa sionally come down in gentle showers, set in rather heavily at last, and a general rush was made for town after the race for the Cup was over. The following are the remarks of our sporting correspondent : Of course, the Cup is the be-all and end-all of an Ascot Thursday, though there were one or two events that claimed some attention from the rank and standing of the animals engaged. This was the case in the first event of the day, ;be New Biennial, in which Scottish Chief and Knight of Snowden third and fanrth in the Derby. are to meet The Charity Children at St. Paul's. This most interesting of festivals—all idea of abolishing which seems now, happily, at an end— took place yesterday morning, as usual, under the dome of the Cathedral. The attendance was more enormous than even on previous occasions. Often as the scene has been witnessed it is always new and always exciting. To enter into a fresh description of it, however, would be wholly superfluous. Enough that the general arrangements, superintended by Mr Arthur S. Newman, festival architect, to which inventive genius in a great measure London owes a sight to which no other city in the world can offer a parallel, were on the accustomed scale of grandeur and completeness—indeed, in almost evury parti cular, the same as have elicited wonder and delight at former anniversaries. The 4,000 children were seated as comfortably as though there had been only 400 to accommodate, and presented to the eye of the looker-on a spectacle as orderly and unconfused as it was incomparably picturesque. That there was full Cathedral service with anthems, &c., accompanied not merely by the organ, bat, in the full pieces, by brass instruments and drums (Messrs. f. Harper, Macfarlane, Irwin, Phasey, and Chipp), to aid in preserving the balance of sound— which where so vast and comparative:y untutored a congregation of singers is engaged, might otherwise be seriously imperilled—it is scarcely requisite to add. But when such an officer as Mr Goss, the able and respected organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, is at the head of affairs, and at his side Mr George Cooper (of St. Sepulchre's and Christ Chur c h) his intelligent and talented deputy, it may be taken for granted that the musical part of the ceremony will leave nothieg to desire. Mr Goss is generalissimo on this impos ing field-day ;Mr George Cooper—whose assistance in drilling the army of youthful vocalists for the annual grand display is so invaluable to Vicar- Choral H. Buckland (conductor)—the chief of his staff. Under their presiding care all is pretty sure to go well. These zealous gentlemen work together in advance, and share the post of organist—some times playing separately, sometimes (as in the " Halleluiah") together—on the day. It would be very difficult to replace them. Prayers were intoned by the Rev. B. M Cowie, and Lessons were read by the Rev. J. V. Povah— minor canons in the cathedral. The choir—com posed of singers belonging to St. Paul's, with dele gates from St. George's Chapel (Windsor), Temple Church, Westminster Abbey, Chapel Royal (St James's), &:e.—was nearly 80 strong; and upon its component members, it may easily be understood, devolved important duties. Mr. H. Buckland was at his ordinary post, on an elevated rostrum within sight of all the children, and in direct and well prac tised communication with the organist. Again at this anniversary there was only one change in the musical p rt of the service, and this a change of little or no importance. That the chant to the Psalms (45 and 46—" My heart is inditing a good matter," and " God is our hope and strength") should be no longer "Jones in D," is under any circumstances a consolation. Not, however, that much can be said for" Dr. Crotch in C," which was substituted for it at the last anniversary, or for that other " Dr. Crotch in C" which was used yesterday, and by which the choir, to judge by its occasionally dragging, did not seem greatly inspired. To Dr. Crotch, though a good musician, a thought of genuine melody rarely occurred. We suppose that it is out of the question to expect anything new in this direction. The chant, however, is of little consequence when compared with the anthem—the " Te Deum" to suc ceed the first and the "Jubilate" to follow the second Lesson. "' fre Deum' and ' Jubilate,' as com posed in the key of A with the greater third (A major) by William Boyce, Doctor in Musick,"fenight fairly he replaced by something else more modern, and (their merits not denied) more interesting. That Dr. Bryce bequeathed a valuable legacy to the library of Church music is unquestionable ; never theless his To Deum and Jubilate, written for the Coronation of George 111., are out of date. They have done good service ; but not being composed of the fi aRI e imperishable stuff as the Coronation Anthem of Handel (for George II.), they have be come—to use a familiar expression—" aged." IVhy not, then, set them aside ? Mr. Goss —one of the most learned and accomplished musicians we pos sess—would surely find a pleasure in enriching, at one and the same time, his art and the resources of the Cathedral to which he belongs, with some com positions from his pen. His anthem for the funeral of the " Great Dakc" is oue of the most E o len) n and lerareaaa— r a a ....a. • HAMPTON MEE The Surrey and Middlesex S' each, with 100 ad, Age at lb Dollar ..

This afternoon at 3 o'clock, Mr Woods, the coroner for the western division of the county of Surrey, opened an investigation at the Railway Inn, in this town, into the circumstances attending the death of Richard Wilkie. Edwin Hall, Joseph Clegg, William Winfield, end John Coppard, who were killed by the lamentable catastrophe which occurred on Tuesday evening during the running of the return trains from the Ascot races. The investigation created a great amount of excitemezt, and in consequence of the vast number of persons who attended it was found necessary to adjourn the inquiry to • . - the Reading-rooms. Mr L. Crombie and Mr L. Clark attended on behalf of the London ani South-We,tern Railway; and Mr Chubb (of the firm of Dean, Chubb, and Saunders, of South-square, Gray's-inn), represented the widow of Mr hall, Mr Robinson (Robinson and Tomlin), appeared for the relatives of Joseph Clegg; and Mr Edward Newman represented the widow and friends of Mr R. Wilkie. A jury of 15, having been sworn, proceeded to the coach house of the Railway Inn, where the remains of the unfor tunate deceased, Wilkie, Hall, Clegg. and Coppard, lay in coffins, while those of Winfield were uncoffined. The de ceased Hall had both his legs completely severed from his body, while the body itself was lacerated in a most fright ful manner; Joseph Clegg had his back broken, and his body fearfully cut about ; Richard Wilkie had frightful concussions on the head, concussion of the brain, and his right arm literally torn from the shoulder; the arms of John Coppard were broken and his body severely contused. Th e principal injury to William Winfield was his right band being torn off at the wrist. More or less the bodies pre sented a sickening and ghastly appearance. The Coroner having severally sworn the jurymen, pro ceeded to say he was quite sure the jury would carefully investigate the cause of the fearful calamity which had hap pened, involving the deaths of no less than five individuals and serious injury to several others, two especially, one of quite sure and a th n e o y th w er ou in ld on fe e e o l f w t i h t e h Ldeoenpdoeno r h ro o w spi a t u a d ls .regllreet w h o m was lying in the neighbourhood in a very precarious the was very painful task they had before them. He had been told the deaths bad resulted in consequence of a collision of two trains at the Egham st a ti on. V arious rumours had reached him, which he of course discarded, and he attended as coroner quite unp re j a di ced and to act impartially to all, as he trusted they (th e j ury) would do, The railway company and their employs, on exceptional occasions, like those of the Ascot races, had necessarily imposed upon them most onerous, anxious, and responsible duties, and the public had a right on all occasions, exceptional or otherwise, to be satisfied that the most ample precautions were resorted to for insuring their safety. Upon the present occasion he did not purpose going into general evidence, but he thought it right to assemble the jury on the earliest possible opportu nity that the bodies might be delivered up to their friends for interment. As it would be necessary to adjourn the investigation, all he then proposed to do was to have the bodies identified, in order that he might issue his warrant for their removal. The jury having viewed tho bodies, the first witness called was, Edward Booker, of Steward's-place, King's-road, Chel sea , corpenter and builder. He said —I have seen the dead bodies, and I identify amongst them that of Robert Wilkie. He was a publican, and reaided at 25, Welli ngton-row, Chelsea, and kept the Globe Tavern. He was about 51 years of age. I James Pattison said —I live in Stratford-mews. am a jobmaster. I have se en the dead bodies, and I identify that of Edwin Hal l, w ho is my brother-in. law. He was a corn merchant, residing in Duke-street, Manchester-square. He was about 40 years old. Robert Cross, M.D., 20, New-street, Spring -gardens — I identify the body of Mr Joseph Clegg, who was a tavern keeper, living at 19, Jermyn-street. He was about 66 I know nothing of age. of the yearsc ircumstances by w hi c h he came to his death, nor have I had an opportunity of examining the body to ascertoin the actual cause of death. _ Tames Dewsbury, 86, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, servant—l identify the body of William 'Winfield. He was a bailiff in the employ of Mr Henry Bracebridge, at Sherbourne, near Warwick. He was about 49 years of age. Thomas Coppard, of Henfield, Sussex, said—l identify the dead body of my brother John, who was about 68 years of age. Ho was a clerk to Mr Padwick, of Hill-street, Berkeley-square. The Coroner and Jury then consulted, and ultimately it Was arranged that the inquiry should be adjourned tor the i.roduction of evidence with regard to the t.ignals end other special arrangements for the tr affle daring the Ascot races. Mr Crotnbie specially intimated to the coroner that the company were anxious that every facility should be afforded for the fullest investigation of the case.
