ASCOT HEATH RACES.--e•WEDNESDNCE.
AY.
i I 11 The racing yesterday was in every respect inferior to
! .1.,
, i '' , 1 ,f.', the first day's, and, as wo predicted, the fields in some
7 instances were small; this was especially the case for the
-". /
~...7
v AVindsor Stakes, only five horses out of 76 engaged
. having shown at the post, although the stake was but 10
sovs., and nothing was saved by keeping them in the
i stable. The race, nevertheless, excited great interest,
I and helped, with the Royal Hunt Cup and four other
events, to make up an excellent " off" day. It is almost
superfluous to add, that the attendance was very thin;
this has ever been the case on the second day at Ascot.
We have no exception to make, in speaking of the ma-
nagement; there being only six races, the stewards were
enabled to allow longer intervals between the most im-
portant, thus no difficulty was experienced in keeping
time, the weighing, and other preliminaries, were got
through without confusion, and the company had time to
enjoy the racing, which is rarely the case when the
half-hour intervals are observed. Very few fashionables
were on the course, the following list, therefore, of the
principal visitors, must be understood to refer chiefly to
the first day:—
Duke of Richmond, Duke of Beaufort, Marquis of
Exeter, Marquis of Downshire, Marquis of Worcester;
Earls of Eglinton, Chesterfield, Southampton, Glasgow,

MISS BREMER'S NEW NOVEL, " BROTHERS AND
SISTERS."—Sweden has made herself a home in English
hearts by means of two of her favoured daughters—
Jenny Lind and Frederika:Bremer. Bright and evanes-
cent as the summer rose, the gift of the songstress
must, in the nature of things, pass away, but more en-
during than those magic tones, the written words of
Frederika Bremer steal gently into our homes, and
make themselves an abiding place with us, with our
children, and with our children's children. " Brothers
and Sisters," the last, is certainly among the very best
of Miss Bremer's works with which the English public,
through the intervention of Mrs. llowitt, has become
acquainted. This smiling, happy story will make the
very gloomiest readers in love with life. The character
of General Herkules is as finely drawn as any one of
Scott's old warriors, not excepting the Baron of Brad-
wardine.—Jerrold's Paper.
THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT HART'S HILL.—The
inquest on the bodies of the sufferers was resumed on
Tuesday last before Mr. Robinson, the coroner. The
attendance of persons interested in the result was very
large. The examination of a number of engineers was

lasted
a considerable time. The testimony of Mr. W. Wright,
who had been employed by Mr. Jefferies to superintend
the machinery in the erection of the works, went to show
that he had told Mr. Jefferies that, if he were Mr. Jeffe-
ries, he would not put the boiler up, as in his opinion it
was not safe, and that if it were put up he would have
nothing to do with it. Mr. Gardiner then said, "If it
be not safe I will make it safe, if it cost me 501." He
(Mr. Wright) never saw the inside of the boiler after
that time. At the conclusion of the examination of the
witnesses in attendance, several of the jury expressed a
wish for further evidence, and the coroner adjourned the
inquest till Wednesday.
STATE OF EMPLOYMENT IN MANCEIESTER.—.The
official report showing the state of employment of the
whole of the operative classes within the borough of
Manchester for the present week, presents some satis-
factory results. The number of hands working full time
has been very considerably increased, and the number of
those working short time has been proportionately de-
creased. This improvement has been effected by two
cotton mills having gone from short to full time. There
are still, however, wholly out of employment from 7,000
to 8,000 hands, and nearly 7,000 working short time.
The report furnishes the following statement:—Number
of hands working full time last week, 29,390; in the
present week, 30,627. Number working short time last
week, 7,229; in the present week, 6,776. Number of
hands wholly out of work in the past week, 8,144; in
the present week, 7,360. The next week being the
Whitsuntide holydays, most, if not all, the factories in
Manchester and the surrounding district will be wholly
closed.
