SPORIING INTELLIGEIN'Cb'

ASCOT-HEATH RACES-THURSDAY,

The Cup-day here is nearly as attractive to the public,
nod as profitable to the lieges of Windsor, as the famed
Derby-day at Epsom ;it does cot depend solely on the ri.u'er
or, in fact, on any individual feature, for it is alike re-
markable for the aristocratic character of the company. the
superior quality of the sport generally, and the eclat thrown
over the vr hole by the presence of the Sovereign. This ob-
servation is applicable to the proceedings yesterday quite as
fully as on some former occasions, for it cannot be denied
that, notwithstanding the rain on Wednesday, and 'the
threatening aspect of the sky in the morning, it was
" grand day" in every respect. We stated in our report of
the first day's races that several parties were domicile-dat
Windsor for the meeting ; in the course of WedoesdaY
there was a fresh influx, and the inhabitants were not
backward it turning it to account. The railway, however,
has sadly diminished this source of emolument, as the
metropolitans now have it in their power to start and =e•
turn at-a reasonable hour, and therelote avoid the heavy
expenses of hotels or lodgings in the neighbourhood ofsbe
race-course. We -may state here that the Directors of
the Great Western Railway have as yet shown none of-that
liberal spirit which their brethren of the South-western
have displayed; they have ruined the postmasters, Who
gave a plate ; they have materially affected the resources
of the inhabitants of Windsor, and they have not contri-
buted a shilling to a meeting, from which they have de-
rived immense sums.

Many Noble and distinguished p:rsons arrived at "the
Cetstle on Wednesday, and nearly every seat in the vicinity
of the Heath was full of company ; in all quarters, in abort,
the evidence of a brilliant and successful day were conspi-
cuous. The weather in the early part of the morning was
indicative of a showery day ; the sky was occasionally over-
cast, the glass was down, and the wind " blew like rain
the sun, however, thrust through all, and long before the
fir-t watery visitation the mob was fairly under way. At
Paddington the push for the different ti sins was tremendous,
and extensive as were the prep trations, they were barely
adequate ; at Slough, a similar scene of confusion presented
itself—the arrival of every train was followed by a race for
the omnibusscs, and those who obtained places, no matter
at what cost, had reason to congratulate themselves;
itn-
niense numbers, however, had no alternative but to walk,
and many never reached the course at all. The "rail"
did not monopolize all the traffic; every coach and
i• bus," from Piccadilly was freighted to an extent
lous to the passengers, and post horses, for want of a suffi-
cient supply (thanks to steam) were put on double duty.
To make things worse, or better, as the taste of our rea-
ders may decide, the dust, not svii hstanding a few showers,
flew in clouds, and the road in one or two places became
almost as difficult to thread as the streets of London in a
November fog. With this agreeable tax on patience-ind
apparel, the majority reached the junction of the roads
near the heath, and then the scene became " terrifically
grand ;" how many rosva took place, and how many panels
were smashed during the day, we had not time to count,
but there were enough of the first to keep the county
Magistrates in play for a week, and to find emplo.Y-
meat for the coaehmakers for at least double thst period.
By one o'clock the thousands who had "gone through 50
much to obtain so little" were safely deposited on the
heath, which, with the aid of the Maidenhead, Oakinghetet
and Bagshot detachments, was 5) thronged as to put Cone..
fart out of the question; however it might have gratified
the lovers of a squeeze. The carriage inclosure was
full, and every nook and corner in the temporary and 616
betting stands from which a glimpse of the procession
was tainable, secured at whatever price the different
" lessees " thought proper to put on theta. The Grand
Stand exhibited all the outward and visible " signs" 01,
prosperity, and its internal symptoms were not less satis-
factory ; it was certainly more numerously attended. than
in 1839. It is almost needless to add, that in so vast ee
assemblage, pins, purses, and pocket-handkerchiefs were
abstracted in all directions ; this was the only stibjed
of complaint, for the course was admirably
.kept
throughout.
Precisely at one o'clock the Royal procesaion appeared
on the course, and it consisted of ten carriages and feet'
and a phaeton, headed by Lord Kinnaird, Mr. Davis, the
huntsman, and the usual outriders, &c. It proceeded etl
slow pace up the new mile, but so dense was the eroWe
that it was at least a quarter of an hour before.
.it
reached the Queen's stand. In the first carriage we!*
her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and bid
Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen ; in the second.
the Duchess of Beaufort , Marchioness of NorrnanbY.

Marchioness of Douro, Lady Seymour, Duke of Beaufort;
and Lord Melbourne; in the fourth, the Countess;',l

LLore
Seymour; in the fifth, Countess of Uxbridge, ai
Kinnaird, Marquis of Downshire, and Lady Leveson ; ten

Ladies A. M. Dawson and Ida Hay, Lords Sorrel and
R. Grosvenor; in the eighth, the Ladies" C. and,C.Paget'
F. Cowper, and Lord Palmerston ; in the ninth, the Hfuh
Misses Murray and Lister, Lord Lilford, and Sic IL
Wheatley ; in the tenth, the Hon.' Mr, Cowper, Colonel
Wylde. Mr. Anson, and Mr. Seymour; and in the phaeton,.
Lord Clarence Paget, and Sir F. Stavin ; Colonels C.a.
vendish, Cornwall, Lord Alfred Paget, and one or two
others on horseback. The public feeling towards our gra..
cious Queen and her Consort has of late been so stror,gly
displayed that it would be supeifluous to diell on ;Inc ne•
tore of her reception ; we can only Say that in _Pro-
gress up the course their appearance at the windose pf the
stand, and frequently afterwards, the ebteting was general
and enthusiastic. Her Majesty,. on . quitting the heath
after the Grand Stand Plate, was greeted with sit:niter rite
nifestations of attachment.

ARREST Or RIBBON DELEGATES.—We have
the satisfaction to announce that the Government has sue:
ceeded, through the exertions of Air. James Perrin, resident
Alagist,:zte at Leitrim, in effocting some further arrests of pet'
sons connected with the Ribbon system. The individuals sr
rested are fourteen in number, and they were taken into uu '
tody on Wednesday, at a public-house in.the town of. •Ballins.
more. At the same time souse documents were discovered.
which show that the persons assembled were. " delegates".fross
various districts. At present we shall not go into
partictilais ;
but we may state that the evidence now procured affords Coo°
cluire proof of the accuracy of the testimony given by the la'
mented Mr. Drummond,
respecting the extremely contentr
tibl character of the Ribbon 'confederacy, which appears t•
have been kept alive by the management of low publicans, as a
means of profit to themselves. It is very remarkable that no
trace of Ribbonism is discoverable in the south, or in any park
of the country where Father Mathew has established the.turn-
peranee syttera.--DuNin Eceninq Put.
