The race for the 2,000 gaineas, roved,' itsßaSAditiilpated,
unusually attractive, and A.m. togetheritiarigal*mblage

There were numerous arrivOs-inAidreEsaing.evfning, but
the "rush " on the morn%i" Was pfailik4Cincluding a
large accession by special train, foremost among whom were
the Duke of Beaufort, and Lord George Bentinck, who
reached the town before twelve o'clock. The betting circle
was extensive, but the hopes of many, who were against the
"crack," were sadly damped by the declaration, at twenty
minutes after ten. that lago had been scratched. This brought
Tom Tul lock in great force, and he was greedily backed at evens
against the field, and subsequently, as will be seen,-at six and
seven to four on him. Tibthorpe was second favourite, and
many got on to five to one, at which price a good deal was
done. Bill Scott having evinced unshrinking confidence on
the heath in the morning, declaring he would win, and no-
thing less, a confidence which it will be seen was fully sus-
tained by the result. Green Pea and King Charles had also
been admired, but Scott,,. Scott occupied the vantage ground
throughout. The first race was appointed for one
o'clock, and by this time the assemblage on the
heath was immense, including many equipages of families of
distinction, and carriages of all descriptions : the equestrians
were beyond all calculation, and the excitement, as usual,
extraordinary. The first race was quickly disposed of, by
the victory of the Duke of Rutland's Alexa over the two
favourites. The next race for the Queen's Plate for mares
over the Rowley Course derived additional interest from
Mr. Osbaldeston riding his own mare, Sorella. At first
the field had the call of Miss Elis, but it being soon
ascertained that three only would start she rose in
favour, and 5 and 6 to 4 was laid on her. The
Squire rode with great " pluck" to the stand, and looked
like a winner, but Nat then put his shoulder to
the wheel and won, but not without being driven almost over
the ropes, by a length.

friends. Of the race we have given full particulars here-
after. It is only necessary to say the verdict was in favour
of Tibthorpe, who won cleverly by three parts of a length
amidst the vociferous acclamations of the " Bill Scotian" dy-
i nasty, who were considerable winners, and to the utter dis-
may of those who had held on to the rocket by which
Tom Tullock had been raised to an enviable height, only to
fall like the stick. The sports concluded with the Coffee-
room Stakes, won in a canter by Paragone, and the defeat
of Fusbos by the Duke of Rutland's Leopard. The weather
was favourable throughout., the sport abundant, and all, ex-
cept
s.the losers, retired highly gratified with the day's amuse-
t In addition to other distinguished visitors on the
heath, we may mention Prince George of Cambridge, who
the race for the 2,000 Guineas Stake, Lord

Maidstone, we understand, called upon the stewards to have
Tibthorpe's mouth examined, and it will be done to morrow
morning; meanwhile, the stakes are withheld. We have
only time and space to describe the races as they came off,
and to add that in the betting Tom Tullock was sent "to the
right about," and Tibthorpe took his place for the Derby,
being backed at 8 to 1-4 to 1 taken against Sting.
The following are details of the racing :

strong pace into the ropes, and ought to have won, but cut
it a ew yards from the chair, and was beaten by half a

Elis made all the running, Sorella waiting on her till near the
cords; Nat, with great difficulty, got his mare's head straight
a few yards from the chair, and having just missed it, won by
a length. Caroline ran out at the corner of the plantations.
After the race, complaints of foul riding were mutually lodged
by Mr. Osbaldeston and Nat.

Betting-13 to Bon Tom Tullock, sto 1 agst Green Pea,
5 to 1 agst Tibthorpe, and 10 to 1 agst King Charles.
Radulphus went away with a slight lead, followed by
Green Pea and Tibthorpe, and by this trio the front was
maintained for nearly half a mile; King Charles then showed
in front (against his rider's will, we suspect) and made play
to the bushes, where he fell back, and the favoUrite took up
the running, Tibthorpe and the Galata colt lying close up,
and nothing else having a chance. The three ran together
into the bottom and three parts up the hill, by which time
the Galata colt had enough of it ; Tibthorpe now closed with
the favourite, headed him a few strides from home, and wort cleverly by three parts of a length ; the Galata colt a bad
third. The race was run in 1 minute and 57 seconds.
lago was declared not to start at twenty minutes past ten

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.,--7BRISTOL. TUESDAY, APRIL
28.—Yesterday afternoon a very severe accident, by which five men
were most seriously injured, occurred at the NewChureh, Kingswood.
The interior of the church has for some time been undergoing exten-
sive repairs, and was being entirely repainted, and the unfortunate
sufferers by this lamentable accident were painters engaged at the
time in painting the ceiling of the church. For this purpose, as is
usual, a plank was placed for the men to work upon, having each
end laid upon a scaffold erected for its support. Upon this plank four
men, Thomas Nash, William Kent, William Lambert, and James
Morgan, very incautiously went to work; it having been in-
lank so inacnroeastheredmitsanat

THREE FATAL 'ACCIDENTS.—Yesterday Mr. Bedford,
Coroner for Westminster, held three nquests at the Black Horse,
Bedfordbury, Covent-garden. The first was upon the body of Wm.
Austin, aged two years, the son of a compositor, residing at No. 16,
Crown-court, Drury-lane. From the evidence of a Mr. Todd, it ap-
peared that, on 'the morning of Sunday last, his attention was
directed to the house opposite his own, in Crown-court, by per-
ceiving smoke Issuing through the iron gratings. He immediately
went to ascertain the cause, when he found the deceased running to
and fro in the front kitchen area, with the whole of his wearing ap-
parel in a blaze. The flames were extinguished as soon as possible,
and the deceased was removed first to King's College Hospital,
but there being no vacant beds in that institution, he was
taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, where he died on Monday
from the effects of the bums. It appears that the child, daring the
temporary absence of his mother, commenced playing with the
lire, and his clothes in consequence became ignited. Verdict, " Ac-
cidental death."—The second inquest was concerning the death of
John Woodman, aged 48. The deceased on the 6th of the present
month was engaged with several other men, removing an entabla-
ture from the shop front of a house under repair in Long-acre. The
deceased was holding the facia up by means of a rope from the first
floor, when the weight of it pulled him out of window, and__ fallinga.i,_
