SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT HEATH BACES.—YESTERD.4 r..
The " grand day" may b.:. said to have rested its hopes of pre-
serving the title to interest which the presence of our youthful
Queen would excite among all classes of her subjects. Had it de-
pended on the racing we are inclined to suspect that its success
would not have been so signal, for, notwithstanding the excellence
of the nominations for the produce stakes and cup, and the large
sums contributed from the fund, the supply of horses to compete for
them was unusually small ; Slane, Mango, The Carpenter, Horn-
sea, Scroggins, Carew, l3arcarolle, Larnaca, &C., were drawn,
orire being lame, others coughing, and one or two " swimmers"
(a term applied to horses sent abroad). This defalcation told most
with "sporting men," who seldom trouble themselves with races
which do not furnish "fields" for speculation. With the public it
is widely different; their object is too indefinite to make them cri-
tical, and so long as they are well squeezed, get a sight of the
Queen, and are satisfactorily victualled, it matters little whether
the sport be good or bad.
In the proceedings yesterday we perceived little to distinguish it
from former similar occasions, unless, as was the case at Epsom,
the opening of the railway may be said to have contributed a new
feature. That it had some effect is beyond all doubt, for immense
numbers who would have been puzzled to find other means of con-
veyance availed themselves of its superior accommodation, and, by
returning the same way, saved money as well as time, besides
avoiding the consequences and dangers of the turnpike-road. The
latter " line of communication" presented the usual busy scene,
and, as of old, furnished accidents enough to set up a "
neous reporter" for a month. This is not to be wondered at when
we consider the vast number of crazy horse: and vehicles which are
pressed into the service, and the strange coachmanship to which
they are subjected. Fortunately none of the mishaps were produc-
tive of serious consequences. The assemblage on the heath was
brilliant ; in fact, it was almost obliterated by the multitude con-
gregated on it. Its ensemble was much improved by the removal
of the old weighing-house. Every stand was crammed at " war
prices," and it is almost needless to add that the proprietors of the
refreshment booths made ample amends for the dullness of trade on
Wednesday. The gaming tents, thimble tables, &c., were as nu-
merous, and, what is worse, as successful as ever.
. .

We may sum up this part of our subject by stating that the con-
course on the raceground was the greatest that has been seen since
Zinganee's year, moreover it was an exceedingly well-ordered
crowd, the directions to the new police having been enforced with
admirable precision. Of the " railway division" hundreds, for want
of accommodation were compelled to pedestrianize their way to the
course. The same fate awaited them on the conclusion of the
races, and as the Slough terminus is a good nine miles from the
heath, a considerable number were too late for the last train, too
late for the coaches, anti too late to obtain " food, raiment, and
lodging." How they got through the night we did not trouble
ourselves to ascertain.

About a quarter past one o'clock the cry of " The Queen" was
raised, and emerging from the forest were seen the scarlet coats of
the outriders. The procession, which was precisely similar to that
on Tuesday, proceeded at a gentle pace up the Old Mile, and
reached the Royal Stand amidst deafening acclamations. In the
first carriage were her Majesty the Queen. her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Countess of Mulgrave. in the rest were
the Countesses of Albemarle and Surrey, the Earl of Albemarle,
and Viscount Melbourne. In the other five carriages were the
Marquis of Anglesea and two Ladies Paget, Marquis Conyngham,
Lords Uxbridge Lilford, Falkland, A. Paget, Torrington ; Ladies
C. Cspley, F. Hastings, and Spring Rice; Misses Dillon and
Paget ; Sir H. Wheatley, Colonel Cavendish, Sir R. Otwav, lion.
Mr. Murray, Mr. Digby, and Mr. and Mrs. Brande. Her Majesty
immediately on entering the Stand presented herself at the window,
and was received with vehement cheers, which her Majesty acknow-
ledged with that. easy grace which we have so often noticed. Simi-
lar demonstrations of loyal attachment were displayed during the
intervals of the races, and at her Majesty's departure for the Castle,
which took place after the fifth race.—(ln our report of her Ma-
jesty's visitors on Tuesday the Countess of Errol's name was given
by mistake. Her Ladyship, we regret to hear, was unable to attend
from indisposition.)
The excessively crowded state of the course necessarily prevents
our giving
a full account of the fashionable; present. Omitting
several eminent foreigners with names somewhat difficult to under-
stand, our
His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge ; the Dukes of
memory enables us to furnish the following short list :
Rutland, Portland, and Beaufort ; Marquis of Exeter, Marquis and
Marchioness of Londonderry, Earl of Mulgrave, Earl of Jersey,
Earl Verulam, Earl Stradbrokc, Earl and Counters of Wilton, Earl
of Suffield, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Lichfield,

Lord Lynedoch, Lord Bruce, Lord Foley, Lord Cantelupe, Lady
Bentinck, Lord Strathaven, Lord Castlereagh, Lord C. Manners,

The weather, which in the early part of the day, and sip to three
o'clock, was all that could be wished, now assumed a louring ap-
pearance, and shortly after the rain descended so steadily, as most
effectually to disperse the promenaders ; and a day which opened
full of promise closed in gloom and disappointment.
The following is a return of the sport:—

Alan leading, followed by the Maria colt, Ilderim lying up. They
observed this order to the road, where all were abreast. Two dis-
tances from home Alan gave up, and the winner went up to the
Maria colt, which was beaten, after a good race, by three parts of a
length.

Epirus. Grey Monius took the lead at a moderate pace, Epirus
lying second, and Caravan third, a position which he kept to the
end of the race. There was no change till near the distance, where
Epirus went up to him, kept there, and looked amazingly well till
within fifty yards of home, when the Grey defeated him by running
or five lengths. The piece is descriptive of the com-
bat weer' St. George and the Dragon, and is one of the most
elaborate and best executed prizes ever run for. It is alike worthy
of those who designed and executed it.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, JUNE 14.

4. THE QUEEN O. D'ISRAELT, ESQ. st.e.
Mr. CRESiNVELL appeared to show cause against a rule ob-
tained in this case for a criminal information to befiled against
the defendant for the publication of a li>el upon his ( Mr.
Cresswell's) Learned Friend Mr. Austin. There had been
a let,er published in a newspaper reflecting undoubtedly most
severely upon Mr. Austin. and upon the profession to which
Mr. Austin belonged. He (Mr. Croswell) had long known
and had as long esteemed Mr. Austin, and he should, there-
fore, be greatly pained if it should be his misfortune to have
to enter into any matter which might be hurtful to the feelings
of Mr. Austin. The matter on which this rule was founded,
as their Lordships might recollect, arose from certain proceed-
ings on the Committee of the House of Commons appointed
to try the merits of the election which had taken place at
Maidston,e Oa the t vening of the Ist of June there ap-
peared in the Standard newspapur, though he believed that
this had nut been mentioned in the affidavits, as it was sup-
posed that the statement first appeared in the Atorning Post
into which it was, in fact, copied on the following morning,
a paragraph, which caught the attention of Mr. D'l-sraeli.
He might appeal to any man whether such a statement as
that paragraph contained would not be likely to excite the
feelings of Mr. D'lsraeli, and call for some statement as
an answer from him. Mr. D'lsraeli had been a candidate for
Maidstone at the election which took place last summer, with
a gentleman, a Mr. Wyndham Lewis. Both had been re-
turned. On Mr. Lewis's death Mr. Fector became a can-
didate. He was returned, and a petition was presented against
his return. On the morning of the 341 of June, Mr. D. Israeli
read in the _Morning Post an account of the speech of Mr.
Austin on opening the petitioners' case before the Committee
and in that account were these expression :—" He (Mr. Aus-
tin) ought to inform the Committee that there was a species
of corruption practised at Maidstone of a different kind from
most other places ; bribes were not only given to the voter at
the time, but were promised, and were paid afterwards. There
had been much treating under the old representative system,
but he thought that it had rather increased than decreased
under the new. It would appear that Mr. D'lsraeli, the
other Member for Maidstone, had not fulfilled the old pro-
mises, and therefore Mr. Fector had to make them good
before he could obtain the votes of some of the electors at the
then election." Such was the charge in the newspapers.
Was that a charge which any gentleman could read without
feeling much excited—without being much moved—without
being conscious that, unless he cleared himself of that
charge, he would not merely be unworthy a seat in the
House of Commons, but unworthy of the society of gentle-
men. The Learned Gentleman then went on to detail the
particulars of the case at considerable length, after which,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in support of the rule, said that
he thought their Lordships were bound to make it absolute.
Mr. CREMSWELL begged to say that Mr. D'lsracli much re
gretted that any injury should have been done to the feelings
of Mr. Austin by that letter, which appeared now to have
written without any cause whatever. Mr. D'lsraeli's desire
was to make an ample apology, and he should desire to know
what the Court would deem satisfactory. His Learned Ft lends
had not asked for any particular apology, nor in what respect
that which he had offered was unsatisfactory.
Lord DF.Nsima—l cannot think that the apology which has
been offered is sufficient. It is not satisfactory to the Attorney-
General, as Counsel for Mr. Austin—it does not appear to me
at all so.

Mr. CRESSWELL, after what had just fallen from his Lord-
ship, begged to say, that if the apology he had offered was not
now what their Lordships had suggested, he wished, on behalf
of Mr. D'lsraeli and of himself, to state that it was his (Mr.
Cresswell'a) own fault.
Lord DENMAN—Then I do not think it will be difficult to
terminate this case.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAT, said—l will undertake that what-
ever a gentleman ought to do Mr. Austin will do.
