ASCOT HEATH RACES

WEDNESDAY.
The public, having reserved themselves for the Cup and
Ibrahim Puha, a brilliant day's racing was left to the ex
elusive enjoyment of the epicures of the turf, and was
got through with a closer attention to time than was
observed on the first day. It is known that the Queen
,ill not be present this day, and it is doubtful if the
Prince Consort will attend. It will be some consolation,
however, to her Majesty's loving subjects, that orders
have been received at the Royal Stand to provide for the
reception of Ibrahim Paella. His Highness is expected
to arrive about one o'clock.
The lend' h to which our details of the running extend
prevent our adding more than that the weather, although
gloomy, was favourable, and the day's sport of the most
gratify ing description.

Beaumont took a slight lead, followed by Farthing Candle
and Colleen Bawn, the others so close up that we cannot
attempt to specify the order in which they laid. No altera-
tion of any moment occurred until they were half-way up
the distance. Ironmaster then went in front, followed by
Colleen Bawn and Leaconfield, but swerved near the end,
took Colleen Bawn out with him, and lost his lead; Lea-

Cassello, Dulken, Wallace, Richards, and though last, not
least, the favourite Carlotta.
LONDON COFFEE AND EATING HOUSE KEEPER'S
ANSOGIATIA.N.—At a Committee meeting held at Anderton's
Hotel last night, Mr. Binmore, the President, in the chair,
it was resolved to have an excursion to the fashionable and
favoured watering place, Brighton, in July next. in aid of
the funds of that excellent institution, when an opportunity
will be presented to their friends of enjoying that delightful
trip at a very moderate charge, at the same time, through

The magistrates of Newcastle last week imposed a fine
upon a female in that town for throwing orange peel on the
causeway.
FETE HISTORIQUE DE SAINT °NEB.—Great pre-
parations, we understand, are being made to celebrate the
above fete on the 15th and 16th instant.. M. le Comte de
Flandre will enter St. Omer, seated on a srperb car, and will
afterwards occupy the throne of judgment, at the splendid
tournament about to take place. Magnificent combats on
horseback will ensue, the parties being dressed in the cos-
tume of the time, when the different events which they will
represent, happened. The Comte de Flandre will have by
his side lu dame de beaute, personated by the elegant
Comtesse de Guine, whose pleasing duty it will be to present
to the various victorious knights the gorgeous insignia of
conquest. This Fete Ilistorique will be the grandest affair,
it is reported, that has occurred in St. Omer for years past.
The principal towns in the north of France, and a large
portion of Belgium, contribute their aid to render the scene
magnificent, and worthy the occasion.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—Our readers will recol-
lect a few weeks since we briefly alluded to a marriage in high life,
which was on the moment of being solemnised, the interested parties
being Lady Anne Elizabeth Mary Grenville, only daughter of the
Duke and Duchess of Buckingham, and Mr. W. H. Gore Langton,
grandson and heir of Colonel Gore Langton. In evident answer to
a paragraph which was inserted in our columns that the marriage
was only deferred for a short period, a counter-statement was made
by a respected contemporary. The assertion on our part is fully
borne out, and therefore we need not make fUrther remark. Yester-
day morning, at the unusually early hour of eight, the nuptial cere-
mony was solemnised at St. George's Church, Hanover square,
between her Ladyship and the Hon. Gentleman, the Rev. Henry

Howarth, the rector of St. George's, officiating at the solemn rite.
The fair bride was taken to the church by Lady Braybrooke, who in
this delicate family matter has considerately acted the maternal
part. The marriage was private, and singular to state the Duke
and Duchess of Luckingham and the Marquis of Chandos were
absent.

AN HONEST PROPOSAL.—The following appears in a
Yankee paper of Moy 18 :—" State Loan of 300,000 Dollars.—lt will
be seen by the notice of the Commissioners of the Canal Fund that
proposals will be received until the 2d of June next, for a loan of
three lan,dred thousand dollars at 5 per cent., redeemable after 1864,
for arrearages to contractors and others on the public works." The
newspaper evidently makes one mistake in the above paragraph.
We perceive It was intended that the bonds should not be redeemed
at any time.
DROWNED WHILST BATHING —On Tuesday evening,
Jonathan Herrind, a labourer on the South-Western Railway, was
drowned whilst bathing in a reservoir that supplies Mr. Dutton's
mill, at Nine Elms, and which is contiguous to the railway. '1 he de-
ceased remained more than half an hour in the water before any as-
sistance was rendered him, and then a fovemanjumped in and brought
his bod' to shore, but lie was extinct. The deceased had committed
a trespas.4 by bathing in the reservoir.
It has been calculated that nearly one-half of the non-
commaleioned dicers and privates atlas American Army desert every
year.
