TUESDAY NIGHT.

In the opinion of many of the oldest frequenters of New-
market, so large an assemblage has not been seen since the
famous match between Sir Joshua and Filho, as was attracted
this afternoon to witness the race for the Two Thousand
Guineas Stakes'and have a peep at Prince Albert—not the Derby
outsider—but the illustrious consort of our Sovereign Lady the
Queen. Some wag it seems, with a view to encourage that
ill-used class the post-masters, and at the same time give New-
market " a turn," had announced his Royal Highness's con-
templated visit through the medium of a Cambridge paper, and
in such confident language, that the paragraph went the round
of the London and most of the provincial journals, and fully
effected all that could have been required. Almost every horse,
chaise, gig, and coach within fifteen miles of the place was
brought into requisition ; hundreds arrived from London and
Chester, and the lieges of Newmarket made a golden harvest.
In our progress through the crowd on the course we repeatedly
heard the inquiry, " which is the Prince ?" and as there hap-
pened lobe present three or four well-dressed young men, with
passable moustaches, it was not difficult to keep up the. joke :
many; we are assured, took their departure impressed with a
belief that the objet of their visit had been accomilished ; it is
doubtful whether their gratification would have been greater or
more enduring had his Royal Highness been there in person
instead of by his proxies'. With men of business and the ad-
mirers of racing, the Tao Thousand Guineas Stakes was the sole
attraction ; it excited very great. interest, and, by its result,
proved that Crucifix was herself again. We subjoin parti-
culars of that and the other events decided in the course of the
afternoon :

Sweepstakes' D. M.—Emetic made play at a slow pace for
two-thirds of the distance, when Olive Branch went paSt her
and won cleverly by haifa length.
2,000 Guineas Stakes.—After one false start the lot got off
tolerably well together, Crucifix being the last. The Angelica
colt took the lead at a capital pace, followed by the Velvet colt
on one side, and Capote on the other, Confederate lying at the
quarters of the Velvet colt, anti the favourite and illac.k Beck
behind. Capote fell astern at the bushes, where Crucifix took
up the running, the grey following her, Confederate third, and
Black Beck fourth. At the cords, Confederate drew upon the
grey, beat him for the second place by about a head, but with-
out reaching Crucifix, who won in a common canter by a length.
Nothing was near the three, but as far as the crowd enabled us
to ascertain Black Beck was fourth, Telvet, fifth, and Capote
last.

Match.—Euclid made all the running, And won cleverly by
a length.
Queen's Plate.—Ccenis led to the first hill, and was then
headed by Confusionee, who beat her opponents off hand, and
went in twenty lengths in advance of them. Mary Anne and
Merganser never passed the post.
The following is a list of the betting in the evening :
