ASCOT RACES-TUESDAY.

A more interesting card than that which emanated from
Oxley's press yesterday has seldom been seen at A.€,eot.
Each of the eight races was well filled and produced fields
of good horses, several of which are well-known public fa-
vourites. Not only did the habitues of the racecourse anti-
cipate capital sport, but every casual visitor was gratified
by seeing those expectations realised. A delightful change
had taken place in the weather, and a sunny morning drew
a large attendance to the Stands, one alone being closed—
that appropriated to Royalty. Large parties of ladies occu-
pied the balcony and the raised platforms of the enclosure,
and the usual quantity of carriages stood on the opposite
side of the running ground. Everything was in order, the
turf unusually elastic after the late rains, and that portion
of it sometimes terribly wet, near the old mile-post, was
excellent going, owing to the drains having been opened
and the ditches kept properly clean. The running of several
horses in previous races proved to be perfectly correct,Duke
Rollo having repeated his Newmarket victory in the Trial
Stakes, Carisbrook having twice displayed the form which
his party have constantly said he could show when .in the
humour, and Tim Whiffler having again defeated first-class
horses over a distance of ground. Blue Mantle, winner of
the 2-yr-old Biennial, was backed for the Derby at 40 to 1
before he started, and became a better favourite after he
had won. Neptunus was,•as in the Derby, before Zetland
in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, that stake having no less
than 500 of public money added to it. Rapparee and
Knutsford showed the staying qualities they inherit from
their sire Rataplan, the former giving 91b to the second,
and repeating his running in the Great Northamptonshire
Stakes. The last race was run a little after 6 o'clock in a
shower of rain, which came on as the sun and wind went
down together.
The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 100 added, for 2 yr-
olds and upwards. Weights for age. Winner to be sold.
New mile. 12 subs.
Sir J. Hawley's Duke Rollo, 3 yrs, Bst (Fordham) 1

The following also ran :—Armament, Marmion, Subur-
ban, St. Vitus, Buckenham, Aconite filly, Knightsbridge,
Walloon, and Newfoundland.
Betting-5 to 2 agst Duke Rollo, 6to 1 each agst Tolurno
and Buckenham, 7 to 1 agst Walloon, and 10 to 1 agst any
other.

After one failure the lot were despatched in close com-
pany ; Marmion, after the first few strides, went to the
front, closely followed by Newfoundland, the Aconite filly,
Armament, and Buckenham, the others headed by Wal-
loon on the far side and the favourite lying up. On reach-
ing the lower end of the Stand enclosure, the two. yr-olds
were headed by Duke of Rollo, Tolurno, and Birdhill, who
came on nearly abreast to the Queen's Stand, where the
favourite drew slightly in advance and won a very fine
race by half a length, a neck between the second and third,
Newfoundland was a good fourth, Knightsbridge fifth,
Suburban sixth, then came Walloon and Marmion some
lengths in advance of the ruck, the last two being Arma-
ment and St. Vitus.

The winner was claimed by Mr. T. Parr, and afterwards
surrendered to Lord Stamford,

tilhomme, 7 to 1 agst Calliope colt, 8 to 1 agst Curie, and
10 to 1 each agst Countess, Rudiments, and Fantastic.
An excellent start was effected at the first attempt,'the
lot getting away in a line. The Mary Aislabie filly, in com-
pany with Countess, Overture, Gentilhomme, and Merry
Hart, shortly after showed in advance, and came on with
the running, Rudiment and Fantastic lying next, some two
or three lengths in advance of the others. On reaching the
distance the Mary Aislabie filly dropped back, and Over-
ture, with Countess and Merry Hart, took a clear lead, but
on reaching the enclosure she stopped as if shot, leaving
Merry Hart in command, closely attended by Curie and
Gentilhomme, the three finishing the race home, Lord
Westmoreland's colt winning very cleverly by a length and
a half, a neck separating the second and third ; Overture
was fourth, Countess fifth, Calliope sixth, and Fantastic
next, the others beaten off, the last three being Redburn,

the order we have enumerated them, to the Brick Kilns,
where the leaders got closer together, and so into the

straight, where Lacvdes was beater ch"
same time crept up next the rails, and followed Gemse to
half way in the distance, when he took the second place,
but was never enabled to reach the favourite, who won in a
canter by three lengths ; a bad third. Lacydes was fourth,
and Brother to King of Diamonds last, beaten off.

Asteroid was the first off, followed by Tim Whiffler, Car-
bineer, Malek, and Silverhair, in which order they ran at a
slow pace round the top turn ; shortly after Tim Whiffler
rushed to the front, and carried on the running at an im-
proved pace, the favourite going on second, and Carbineer
third, close together, Malek and Silverhair lying off. In
this way they ran to the Swinley-mile, where Asteroid
joined Tim Whiner, the pair running abreast to within a
short distance of the bend, where the favourite drew away,
and came into the straight with a slight lead, but he
shortly after was seen in difficulties, and was passed in
succession by Carbineer, who came up on the outside,
and on reaching the distance he obtained a slight ad-
vantage, which he retained to within a few strides of
the chair, when the young one, running with
extraordinary gameness, got up, and won in the last stride
by a short head. Asteroid finished a bad third, Malek
fourth, and Silverhair last, both beaten off a long way.

soya each, with 100 added, for 2-yr-old colts, Bst 101 b ;

Gold Dust, lying in a good place in the centre of the course,
showed slightly in advance, and came on with a slight lead
having Tom Fool, Blue Mantle, Batsman, Tarragon, and
'lhe Avenger as his immediate followers to the brow of the
hill, where Gold Dust dropped back, and the running was
taken up by Tom Fool, who carried it on, closely pressed by
arragon on his whip hand, with Blue Mantle on the near
side, and Batsman next the rail, in which way they ran to
the stand enclosure, when Tom Fool was beaten, and shortly
after headed by Blue' Mantle, the latter being joined by
Batsman uppocito thA saddling paddock, the three finishing
the race home, Capt. Lane's colt whin;.,o very cleverly at

they had settled into their places St. Alexis took the lead,
with Zetland and Carisbrook in the second and third places,
Neptunus and Picador abreast next, and Lord Burleigh
heading the ruck, with Harlequin whipping in. Little or
no change occurred until they had rounded the last turn for
home, when St. Alexis dropped back, and Zetland went on
with the running,' having Neptunus _and Hurricane, who
had quitted the rear division, at his girths. At the stand
Rogers brought Carisbrook to the front, was not again
Harle-
caught,. and won very cleverly by two lengths, a head only

followed by Lapidist, Turn of Luck, the Splitvote colt, and
Fitz-Eva, the others, headed by Sycophant, Knutsford,and

Split vote colt, and Fitz-Eva as her immediate followers,the
four running together a couple of lengths in advance of
Turn of Luck, Sycophant, and Knutsford, the others fol-
lowing at wide intervals. On their reappearing in sight
the leading horses were observed running in close order
along the bottom ; but on nearing the Kennels Lapidist
was observed to give way, and was speedily in the
rear of everything in the race, having broken down.
This mishap left Fitz-Eva, Knutsford, aLd the Split..
vote colt in attendance on Lord Westmoreland's mare, who
were followed by Sycophant, Conundrum, Turn of Luck,
Highilyer, Rapparee, Pasha, at the same time drawing to-
wards the front. With little or no alteration they ran thus

to the bend into the straight, where Schism was beaten, and
her place was taken by Fitz-Eva, who came into the straight
with a slight lead, but in a few strides after she was headed
by Knutsford, the Splitvote colt, and Rapparee next the
rails, the three being joined at the distance by Paste. Op-
posite the old Stand Lord Aylesbury's colt was beaten, and
Paste took his place. A fine race from the enclosure ensued
between the three, Rapparee holding his own and winning
in the last stride by a head, half a length separating the
second and third, three lengths between the third and fourth,
and Splitvote colt sixth. Violet, Amalthea, and Lapidist
were the last three,

was fourth, Lord of the Manor fifth. General Hesse and
the Event colt were the last two.

WHAT Lt7XURIES A NEAPOLITAN PATRIOI
COULD BUZ UNDER TEE BOURBON.

The highest story of the Bagnio was called the Recle-
alone, was pretty well lighted, and commanded a splendid
view of the island. This story was inhabited by the com-
mon prisoners, but as it occasionally happened that one
was removed to another prison, the vacancy was sold by
the chamber-keepers to the highest Wader. Thus, the
greater part of the political prisoners, who had the means,
were, from time to time, enabled to change their tomb-like
cells for a more comfortable dwelling place. But the in-
conveniences of the Reclusione—sixteen rooms crowded
with six hundred ruffians—were not trifling. This place, for-
merly inhabited by ladies and cavaliers, was now all black
and sooty. During the week the smoke was just bearable, but
on Sunday, for at least six hours, clouds of smoke rose
up from every corner ; for, on this day the prisoners
kindled fires in order to perform their cookery. Sometimes
the wind was favourable to clear the rooms. At other
times it only served to increase the horrors of them, and a
shower of soot fell from the walls and ceiling, until the
prisoners resembled sweeps. There was a plague of flies,
too, and the usual swarm of other vermin. During some
hours of the day the prisoners were obliged to keep their
faces veiled to escape the detestable insects, which seemed
to increase the more they were removed by the straw fan.
which was used to keep them off. Our best friends in the
place were the spiders, which entrapped the vermin in their
webs occasionally. HoWever, there was no comparison to
be made as to comfort between the Reclusione and the
Cameroncino, where I dwelt. I had now become much
swollen, and as cadaverous as a corpse. I could scarcely
see or hear, and I tried every means in my power to get a
place in the Reclusione. A chamber-keeper of whom
had some slight knowledge, but who had more respect for
my purse than my person, undertook to procure a little
room for me there, which he accordingly did. 1 paid about
18s. for it, besides a fine of 3s. to the society of the chamber
keepers. In this new cell our jailor shut his eyes on the
money sent us by our families, and we were enabled to bribe
the officers in charge of us. Thus each contrived to get
some favour : some sought lighter chains, others looser
rings, others rings which slipped off at pleasure, and so on.
These dearly bought indulgences lasted only as long 0.- 6110
money lasted. When the captains and t.... .treys wanted to
extort more from us they pretended that a superior was
coming to tne Daguto, r''tence of preparing for
him, took back all the privileges they had sold. Then,
after a few days, they again offered us the came articles on
condition that we rebought them at their former price.--
