ASCOT-HEATII RACES.

The beat and moat attractive of the Metropolitan Races coin-
menced yesterday, and, from the result, we do not hesitate to pre-
dict that the meeting of 1826 till be one of the most splendid upon
record.
Since last year the Steward (bard Maihtwough) and Mr. Jen-
ner ((jerk of the Course) have been Indefatigable in their exertions,
and the general improvement of the Course has been the conse-
quence. The moat striking of the alteretions is the removal of his
Royal highness the Duke of York's stand, which is now placed
next his al ajcstj's, opposite the w'a ting.post. in addition to this,
a very commodious stand is erected for the betting gentlemen,
which will not only laird accommodation to a greater number of
gentlemen, but, from us situation, add to the neat and regular
appearance of the Course. For the reception of the horses of his
Majesty's suite temporary stables are erecied.
kor the great majority of those in the habit of visiting racing
meetirga, Ascot ',relents attractions infinitely superior to Elision ;
for although, at the latter place, the Derby and Oak' possess a
paramount importance, it falls short in almost every other respect,
when compared to Ascot, which, in the number and value of Its
stakes, and the superiority of the horses, may well challenge corn.
petition with Newmarket itself; to say nothing of the countenance
given them by the King, and its many local recommendations.
The Course, too, is admirably adapted as well for the sport as
for the excellent view of the running afforded to the ppectatore.
Of the four drys composing this hleeting, the third, or Gni.'
Cup Day, has hitherto been considered the best, both for sport and
company; but front the great numbers present yesterday of all
classes,we think that the first may very well be put down as nearly,
if not miite equal, to the third.
Ilia Majesty arriveiron the Course a little before th- commence.
ment of the races, in a chariot and four bays, attended by the Doke
of Dorset, Master or the Horse, arid followed by NA suite, in car-
rives and four. His Majesty came up the New Mile, and was
loudly greeted by the spectators. Ills Majesty, on arriving at the
Royal Stand, presented himself at the window, and repeatedly
bowed to the multitude assembled in front. His Majesty looked
very well, and throughout the day held conversation with the dif.
(event noblemen and gendsmen patent, amongst whom we no- I
ticed his Royal Highness the Duke of York. the Duke of Welling-
ton,
II the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Grafton, the Duke of
Lortland • the Marquises of Graham. Conynghanie, and Exeter ;
ords Fife, Stradbroke, Donate!) Egremont, &e. There were
also in the Stand, the Marchioness of Conynghante, Lady Georgina
and Miss %Pelle:ley, and several families of distinction ; indeed,
the whole of the great room in the Stand, the anti-roam, and the
fiat. were actually crowded.
Zits Royal Highness the Duke of York was in his own stand re-
peatedly, which was also occupied by several fashionable, ; the flat
was also envoi-el with spectators.
The sport terminated about a quarter before five o'clock, and his
Majesty left the course in the sante style as he came, amidst the
cheering of the people.
S:r Richard flirtßirtia, attendati by Townshend, Sayers, Bishop. and
a strong body of police, wax on the alert, and effectually guarded
against the depredations of the pickpockets; nor did we hear that
any accident occurred.

which were present the Du!te of Fortland, Doze of Wellington,

vas concluded yesterday as follows :—ln the that 23 bird•, es h
killed 19, Mr. A. keeping 3 a-head ;in the second 2.3, the shooting
was very interesting, Lord Kennedy having twice brought the

The result convinces us that his Lordship is the best stint.
and, had the manner of shoo‘ing been alike, there is no doubt but
he would have won the match. We believe that the tie will not be
shot oft. On Thursday a match for 200 sovereigns, at 50 birds each,,
will take place at the Red I louse enclosure, 21 yardr limn the trap,

decided between the last-named parties.

Yestertley, at half-psta mie o'clock, a Meeting of Freeholder of
the county of 1.041( took plsee et the Preentations' Tritern, for the
purpose of Nightie ng the eiert ion ~r.uch 31entbern nt the enacting
election for Yorkshire as were others.- to any further conColsioMn to
the Roman Catholict. The advertisement to that. effect having
been retie,

I The Right Don: Lord Nl`Dowsisn was called to the Chair, and
briefly informed the Meeing that thoy had been called together to
adopt much stern, in consequeoce of the approaching election, as
should be considered expedient to secure, in ease of content, the re-
I turn of thine Candidates who were determined to resist piny further
conceanions to the Roman Catholic body. Their priacipid business
to-day would be to appoint a Committee for (ha; purpose.
A desultory conversation then ennuis'. the result of which was
the adoption of three Resolutions, declaring that Richard Folio-
tayne Wilson and William Duncomhe, Kum. were entitled to
their warmest support ; that the Meeting should adjourn to one
o'clock oil Saturday next ; and that a Codunittee, ennsisiing of Sir
Citadel de Vieux. Sir Charles Ibbetson, the Rev. Dr. Blomberg.
the Rev. Henry Faulk, an I John Wamieneld, jiin. Esq. be ap-
pointed, with power to add to their number, for the purpose of re-
ceiving communications on the subject of supporting Candidates
adverse to the Roman Catholic Claims.
Tnanka were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting ad-
journed.

ROCHESTER ELECTION.
Last evening a meeting of the rreernen of the City of Rochester,
in the interest of the floe. Carta:6 Dundies, took place at the Black
Horse Tavern, Kingsland-road. The meeting, which, consign/ of
about fifi y persons. was highly reapeetable, and animated silkh the
most ardent anticipations of Mr. Dundas'a success at the ensuing
contest for that city.
Mr. &smug!. linthaiLty having taken the chair. said he was
happy to see so numerous and respectable a body of the freemen of
the city of Rochester assembled to forward the interest of Mr.
Motive, of whose suciras, from the favourable reception he had
received on his canvass, he could not: entertain the least doubt.
They should not, however, relax in their zealous efforts to support
him in the ensuing election, but should endeavour to make assu-
rance doubly sure. He knew they acre heart and hand in his in-
terest. and was epnifilent of their pa,everance in the support of
Mr. Dundee, who would, he had no doubt, himself address them.
(Cheers.)
Mr. Ihrafrata then addressed the Meeting. He said he was
gratefill to those Freemen who had come forward with such alacrity
to give him their support. Should lie nave the honour of tepre-
'tenting the city of Rochester in Parliament, it was his intention to
support the present Ministr►. whose conduct entitled them to the
esteem of the country, which he felt persuaded they possessed. it
was to be regretted that great distress prevailed in the country, but
no blame could be attached to the Government on that account. It
was entirely beyond their control, and they shouliflook to the re-
vival of trade for its relief. Ile had in his canvass received support
from a great number of the electors, and civility from till. lie re-
spected the candour of those who, though they would not support
his pretensions, fairly avowed their opposition. He had not the
slightest intention of offering himself as a candidate until within the
last ten days, when the deputation from Rochester invited him to
come forward. The very kind ro inter in which the deputation had
called upon him, and the liberal offers of support which he had
received, induced him to offer hims,lf as a candidate. If any gen.
denten had any question to put to him he would most willingly
answer it. There were two point* to which he would call their
attention—the Corn Laws and the Roman Catholic claims. Ile had
no doubt bat the Cora haws would itudergo revision in the next
Session of Parliament, which would probably refer to the rate of
duty to he imposed on that article. Ile was favourable to the prin.
ciple of Free Trade. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the Catholic
Question. he could not forget that the country had experienced for
the last century and a half the utmost tranquillity ; and that, pre-
viously to that period it was disturbed by the tutmoil of one church
contending for the ascendancy &hove the other. However indivi-
duals of that religion might feel the pressure of those laws which de-
prived them of political rights, he was unwilling to grant them un-
qualified emancipation. They did not give undivided allegiance
to the State, and were not, therefore, fit subjects for political power.
He would not further trespass on their atiention, but regretted that
the issuing of the writ precluded him the pleasure of drinking
their healthy.

Mr. J. BAKER. junior, ash] he never witnectted 4 more sacceas-
ful canvm than that of the Horourable Mr. Dundas, since he had
been a freeman of the city of norheeter. (Cheere.l
Three hearty cheers having been given fur the success of Mr.
Dundad, the 31ctaing separated.

intention of the friends of Sir Robert Wilson to meet the
gallant candidate at the Asylum, in the Westminster-road,
this morning at nine o'clock, and from thence conduct him
in grand cavalcade to the place of polling, before the Town

them, betrayed their interests.
DOVER ELECTlON.—Yesterday evening a meeting of the
friends of Mr. Bootle Wilbraham, being electors of Dover,
was held at the Bay Tree Tavern, St. Swithin's-lane, at
seven o'clock ; Mr. Luddington, in the Chair. The Chair-
man read a circular, addressed by Mr. IVilbraliam to the
electors, stating his confidence in their support, and con-
sequent resolution to proceed to the poll ; also that he was to-
tally unconnected with any other candidate—bolding him-
selfaloof, lest it should for a moment be imagined that, by
associating with another, he was dictating to the electors of
Dover. The Chairman then stated that he would make
no observations upon the Parliamentary conduct of Mr.
Wilbraham, lest it should be inferred,from his doing so, that
that conduct stood in need of defence or explaniti,n. Ile
then proposed his health, as a toast, to the electors, which
was drank with the greatest enthusiasm. After which, a
series of resolutions were unanimously agreed to—to the
effect that Mr. IS. B. Wilbraham was deserving of the con-
fidence of the electors, as well as their support at the en-
suing election for the town of Dover, as a staunch supporter
of the Protestant succession and the Constitution of the ;
country. As soon as these preliminary matters (which in
reality constituted the chief business of the meeting) were
disposed of, they proceeded to spend the evening with all
imaginable conviviality.

rival of Mr. Corbett, trusted they would use hint kindly, and re-
turn hint the first Burgess. He had, by squibs, been called a

Me West end of the torn', took place at the above elegant CaU.
It is beyond question the most superb establishment in Europe,
and to convince our renders of this fact, we give an account of the

commanding a view of the whole room, over which is a superb
orchestra, and at the other end of the room • glass of very. large

MAD Doc.—On Sunday morning a crowd of indivi-
duals parading in Regent's Iftnk, near the Canal, were alarmed by
the appearance of a dog of the terrier breed, who was suddenly
seized with li:s by the sight of water, and upon recovering ran with
considerable rapidity to and fro, foaming at the mouth in a dread-

which see another part of our paper.
GLOUCESTER —Parliament being now dissolved, and writs for
a new election having been issued, a general bustle pervades both
lawn and country. The day of election for thin city is fixed for
Friday next. Celonel Webb rommeneed his canvass here on Sa.
tterday last, and was everywhere received in the most friendly
manner, so as to leave neuflonbt of his ultimate return. Mr. Cooper
arrived in this city on Saturday, and, begun his canvas, to-day.
GLOUCESTERSIIIRE.—Our Cooly election in fixed for Friday

T. Farquhar have successfully completed their canvass; and leave

LoNhos.—The election fax the city will commence on Friday
next. The canvass is carried on with touch activity by elle respec-
tive candidates and their friends. In a gfeat majority of instances
the Livery have been personally waited no, and, eoneidering that
their'number amounts to more thau 12,000, spread over all parts of
the town and its vicinity, thin has proved a most arduous and fa-
tiguing duty. Of the new candidates none appear to entertain or
in express a: y confident expectations of success, for the context is
likely to run ro hard among three of them, that they can venture to
give no interred slot. •ri the exertions of their. friends. The report
that Mr. Alde:man Garrett intends to offer himself oo the first day
of the election doss not appear to gain ground.
IrEoat I NAT LR. Jung 3.—Three new candidates have started—
RoWland Stephenson, Esq., of London, hanker ; Frederick Cuth-
bert, Esq., of Grosvenor-agog:se r, and Mr. Guinness, a barrister;

LIVERPOOL MONDAY, JUNE 6.—Mondav next is the day
fhteff for the e'eetson of Members to represent this borough in Par-
liament. During the preceding week, various preparatory elec.
chumming movements have taken place. Mr. Huskirenn's friends
have met to concert means for se uring his re-election ; and the
Right Hon. Gent! :man has kilned, an address to the freemen.
General Gageovne h It also issued an address, in Which he claims
the continued stippoit of the burgesses, on the ground of his past
services to the town. Banning have been afloat, within the laat
few days, of its being the intention bf a body of the freemen to
bring forward, on the day of election, a third candidate. Various
gentlemen have bee I named as the object of their choice; but, from
all the in'ormatian whith we hate been able to co lect, we have
reaann to believe that they have not as yet succeeded in prevailing
upon any Individual' to obey their call. The freemen who are at-
tempting to cat 1. a contest at the coming election are the ship-
wrights of the port; and their opposition is directed exclusively
ags flat Mr. Hurkinnon. Mr. Huskiason will, it is expected, far ye
in Liverpool on Friday t PXI. lie will reside, during his stay i
town,* th or respected tot nrman, John Bolton, Evil. at his hot as
in Duke-street. Mr. Iluskifetoo will be accompanied by Mr
Wainer ght, et the Liverpool Office. General Gaseny::e, who
was tap ctrl to arrive at the Adelphi Hotel, Itan,elagh-plac,, in
the course of to-day, will not, we understand, reach town btfor
Thttr:dar next. About NO persons have been admitted to the
freedom of tide borough since the last diction. The total numbe •
of the freemen is about 5,006.
MAIDSTONE.—The free and independent devot' of this ancient
and loyal town have, after considerable pain and difficulty, found a
t'tird man 'n the person of Wyndham Lewis, Esc; , who repre..
genteel, in the Parliament just dissolved, the borough of Cardiff, 11l
Wake. It is supposed that the contest will be carried on with ex-
traordinary spirit, from the wellsknown determination of the th rd
man's party, on the one side, (which, by the bye, ennui ins famine,
of the first respeetability in the hart and neighbourhood) as well ail
from the h gi and estimable light in which their late representative,
Mr. Welly, stands with all the loyal and " Kilt{ and Constitution
freemen" of Ste town. Mr. Roberts, Who has sacrificed malty of
his old friends, in consequence of voting fur the Catholic claims, it
is supposed will In the mid be the real thi el man. The candidates
far the representation plate are placed by the knowing ones as
tfollows r—Mr. Lewis, 1; Mr. Wells, 2; Mr. Roberts, die-
tented. Should such be the case, this ancient town will then have
the honour of 'tending two illembers to Parliament, fit, in every
point of view, to represent its loyal and constitutional inhabitants.
Although Mr. Lewis did not reach Maidstone until a late hour on
Monday night, we are informed by a gentleman who left there
yesterday afternoon, that from the offers of support which he so
unanimously and unequivocally received, there remains not the
Outflow of a doubt as to his experiencing a most successful result,
by leriasglfhbedl at **thee/4 of the polf.- We understand that this
evening Mr. Wells intends meeting the resident London fieernen,
for the purpose of making arrangements previcus to the day of
election.

MAl,DOY.—Quintin Dick, Eng., one of the candidates for Mal-
don, in Essex, has hit upon a curious expedient for cotireyirg the
electors in his interest, by engaging the Venus steam.packet, to
Convey them to within a short distance of Ma'dun. At nine o'clock
this morning •he left the Tower, with abut ISO freemen on board ;
and in order to make the the trip pleasant, a band of music was
provided, and, though last not least, a large store of the good things
or this life.

Maiit.oW (GREAT).—James Morrison. E-q. has published an

MIDDLESEX.—A County Court will Ire held I,v the Sheriff., of
London at Brantford, on the 20th, to elect the Members for the

and Usk, dated June 2.
MONMOUTIISHIRE.—Lord Granville Somerset has published
second address to the freeholders of the county of Monmouth since
the news of the-dissolution of Parbunion t.
NORWICH.—The operatives of this town have signed a requisi-
tion to James Morrison, E.q. of the firm of Messrs. Todd and Co.
of London, the intimate friend of Mr. flume. The following pas.
sage of the address of a brother operative exhibits rather an awk-
ward view °indica' independence at elections :--•• One half of our
looms nOT at work in this city are kept so by the demands of his
commercial friends. An operative must be blind indeed who can-
not ree that, for the benefit of himself and family, the colour of a
rihand or the muster-roll of a club-house are as nothing compared
with a supply of work sufficient to render him independent."
NOTTINUHAM, JUNE Z.—The resignation of Mr. Denman.
the Common Sergeant of London. being quire unexpected, it has
created a great sensation here, Mr. Birch issued a bill on Friths?,
announcing his intention of again offering hintself, and he is ex-
pected to make his entry into Nottingham this afternoon.—Lord
Rancliffe, who formerly represented the town, tenders his services
in the place of Mr. Denman; and has this morning issued a notice
in which he pledges himself to vote for the abolition of the Corn
Laws—.he extinction of Slavery--the abolition of sinecures—re-
trenchment in the expenditure : and above all, " frequent Parlia-
ments, and a full and fair representation of the People In the
Commons House, williont which reform, it is in vain to expect a
re 'uction of taxes." The writs were received by the Sheriff yes..
terday, and though it was Sunday they were immediately pro..
claimed ; the election is fixed for Thursday next, and at present ro
candidate has been named on the True-blue or Tory side of the
question. The Tories are making every effort, but the bitter ex.
perience of the two last elections, conjoined with the prevailing
" deficiency of currency," makes it very doubtful whether they will
obtain a candidate or not.

OKEHAMPTOI4.—We understand Sir Francis Ommsnnev,
who has declined standing for Barnstaple, intends to otter himself
for the borough of Okelistriptcci.

liament.

TEWILE:SBURT.--John E. Dowdeswell and John Martin, Dries.

day last, and experienced so flattering a reception, that there is no
doubt whatever of their being both returned.
WEsT atOR LAN D.—lit Vl'estmorland, the friends of Mr.
Brougham have begun to abuse the Lowther family in the usual
way, and the Learned Gentleman himself has at length taken the
field. lie has addressed a letter to the electors in which he re-
counts for not writing sooner, by saying he retrained from doing so
" because he was desirous of announcing something more satisfac-
tory than his own good opinion of their prospects, and his sanguine
hopes that his friends would be found, as steady as ever to their
principles."
Whim ESTER.—Affairs are not going on so quietly in this city
as some, not in the secret, might be led to suppose ; and shau'd two
highly respectable arid opulent men, (who have been musk) the
one a London banker, and the other a gentleman of conaldtra'ile
rank, the native of an adjoining county, accept the Invitation wilieh
has been forwarded so them, Messrs. Davies and Robinson would'
have rather sharp work cut out for them.
Wirrnson, JUNE s.—This morning, J. Ramsbottom, Esq.

this borough. The latter candidate offers himself on the retire.
ment of E. Desbrowe, Esq. who is engaged in a diplomatic situa-
