ASCOT RACES.---FnmAr.

But for the attraction of the Alexandra Plate, the. card
for the last day would have been a light one. The new
additions and conditions of this important race drew an
attendance much above the average of last days, and the
Royal meeting terminated, as it beganjwith brilliant suc-
cess. There was a good entry for the Wokinghams, and
the Twelfth Ascot Triennial looked as if it might be a race
between Farewell and Breadalbane: The First Woking-
ham was a clever win for The Swift, who defeated his
field after a fine race with the Beatrix colt and Gem of the
Sea. The favourite Vabalathus was a bad fourth. The
Second Wokingham looked a good thing for Charity, and
she won all the way, quitting her horses at the stand and
going in a very easy winner by some half-dozen lengths.
The Twelfth Ascot Triennial was a very hollow win for
Broomielaw, who looked 'uncommonly well. Farewell
lacked the stride of Mr. Chaplin's horse, though he made
a plucky effort opposite the stand.

The Alexandra, Plate—last year a handicap with 500
sovs. added—is now that much more commendable insti-
tution, a weight-for-ago race. The sum has been in-
creased to 1,000 sovs, which, with the 25 sovs sweepstakes,
makes it a rich prize. The entry was, however, hardly
commensurate with the importance of the stake—only 34
subscribers, and of these 21 paid forfeit. Tho field was
good in quality, comprising Fille de P.Alr, Baragah, Straf-
ford, Planet, Young Rapid, Cathedral, Blackdown,
all horses of some stamp, more or less. The French mare
was again an object of mystery as to the intentions of her
owners. Pity it is so, but unfortunately the name of Fille
de l'Air will be associated with disagreeable recollections
in turf annals. We saw her beaten yesterday in the
Cup after pulling hard all the way, and the natural infer-
ence was that she would not improve on that form to-day.
But the very knowing ones shook their heads and quietly
got on early in the day before she came to be second favou-
rite, which she was prior to the start. Baragah was backed
as if he could not lose, and Claremont was to make the
running for him. The 13 were soon under way, and Ed-
wards and Stanton took the lead for the first half-mile or
so, but was then passed by The Tartar, who went on with
the running along the Swinley bottom ; but he in turn re-
signed it to Bally Edmond, who came on closely attended
by Strafford and Fille de l'Air, the latter looking a winner
as she came up the hill, till Custance brought Strafford
with a tremendous rush ; and it appeared as if it was going
to be General Peel and Ely over again, but the mare run-
ning with her usual gameness, just managed to get her
head in front in the last stride. It was an extraordinary
specimen of in-and-out running, to say the least, and of
course it was much commented on, more especially by those
who had backed her yesterday, but declined following suit
to-day. Harry Grimshaw said she could not live with her
horses in the Cup. All we know is, that pulling double
round the turn, she suddenly gave way at the enclosure.
We must add that Jennings, who had backed her for the
Cup, was not at all sanguine to-day. Still the mare was
backed, there is no doubt—her price showedhat—and the
chosen few who "peppered" her yesterday, and got on her
to-day, may well pride themselves on their sagacity. We
may mention that William Boyce on Hollyfox receding
from 6 to 20 to 1, requested Mr. Perry to put
another jockey up ; but Mr. Perry, having every
confidence in him, refused to do so. It must have
been rather a surprise to Whitewall to see Baragah
beaten by Strafford. John Scott, we believe, said the
two horses had never been put together, and they knew
nothing in reality about them. Lord Glasgow's horse
certainly gave Baragah a 71b beating.
The other events do not call for much remark, Rarely
has there been a more successful gathering, favoured as it
has been by everything that could conduce to success.
The takings at the stand have been enormous,and the addi-
tional private boxes a good speculation. The police ar-
rangements were perfect, and we have already spoken in
high terms of the manner in which the railway service
was performed. Where there is much to praise, it is a
pity there should be anything to blame. The prices
charged, however, for telegraphic messages were most
extortionate.

Arabia and Lady Egidia, the favourite, and Heir-at-Law
came on nearly in a line to the distance. Heir-at-Law drew
slightly in' advance of Camball, the pair as they neared

race ensued between the first two, Camball getting up in
the last stride, and winning with nothing to spare by a neck.

gradually disappeared from the front, and his place taken by
Bally Edmond, closely attended by Fille de l'Air, Strafford,

They ran in a body round the turn into the straight, where
the French filly came up next the rails, and on the retire-

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 16.—We have again had a
very heavy demand for all classes of shipping yarns,
at prices about ld. per lb. above the advance of
Tuesday. Spinners, generally, are now very deeply
under contract, and any further business will pro-
bably have to be done at still higher rates, while
considerable time will have to be given for delivery.
For this class of yarns the market closes strong.
The home trade yarn-market has also been strong,
with prices fully Id. per lb. above the rates of
Tuesday. The great advance checks business to
some extent, and there has hardly been as much
doing as on some previous days of this week. The
cloth-market has been more active than of late.
Since Tuesday there has been a considerable inquiry
for most descriptions, and even India goods have
participated in it to some extant. The advancing
prices of cotton and of yarn have, of course, com-
pelled manufacturers to advance their quotations,
and as these have not been f ollowed in the same degree
in the offers made by buyers, it has been impossible
to do anything like a large business in this class of
fabrics. There has been more activity in the finer
classes of cloth and in printers, and for these the de-
mand still continues. Each day since Tuesday a fair
business has been done in these descriptions of cloth,
and prices have been constantly advancing. Yester-
terday and to-day the demand has been active, but to-
day there has been less business than was expected,
owing to the advanced quotations necessitated to cover
the high prices of cotton and yarn. Buyers are
mostly willing to pay some advance, but they fol-
low reluctantly and with much hesitation a rise
which has been so continuous as well as considerable.
The aggregate business of the week in cloths has
been rather large.

NOTTINGITAM;I6 th. —There was a tolerable attend-
ance on 'Change to-day, and the demand ruled
healthy for lace yarns, at an advance of 2d. per lb.
on Tuesday's rates for medium numbers ; fine and
coarse numbers about the same as heretofore. The
demand for hosiery yarns was firm, and prices were
is. per 101 b. bundle higher. Silks dearer. Spun
silks (long) were I.s. 6d., and short spun 6d. per lb.
higher. There was not much alteration in the value
of brown nets, but business on the whole was rather
better.

BLAKELY ORDNANCE COMPANY.—This company
is being formed to carry out on a large scale Capt.
Blakely's well-known inventions in ordnance, of the im-
portance of which some notion may be gleaned when it is
stated that within the last two years upwards of 50 guns
have been turned out by the present limited factory, each
of which is said to be more powerful than any gun in her
Majesty's service, if perhaps we make the one single ex-
ception of the experimental one called " Big Will." The
present proprietors of the, works guarantee 15 per cent.
profits, so that the investment, it would seem, is rather a
good one, particularly when it is considered that the
guarantors are Capt. Blakelyand Mr. Dent, the well-known
Rothschild of China. We are glad to find the shares rising
in the market.—Globe.

THE YELVERTON CASE —ln tile action of damages
at the instance of Theresa Longworth, or Yelverton, against
the Hon. Mrs. (Forbes) Yelverton, recently debated before
the Lord Ordinary (Jerviswoode) in the Outer House of
the Court of Session, his lordship on Wednesday gave a
decision dismissing the action, and making the plaintiff
liable for the costs.

PRUSSIA.

-- -

BERLIN, June 16.—The committee on the budget
of the First Chamber proposes in its report to reject
the budget of 1865, as it has issued from the deli-
beration of the Second Chamber, and because it
does not appear to be in conformity with Art. 99 of
the Constitution. The First Chamber proposes to
invite the Government to fix and declare, as normal
expenses, those which shall be necessary to carry on
the services of the Government in a proper manner,
and such as is befitting to the mission of Prussia.
