ASCOT HEATH RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

Custom has rendered the Wednesday at Ascot an " off
day," albeit it possesses a powerful attraction in its
"Hunt Cup," which invariably commands one of the
largest fields of the meeting. On the present occasion
28 horses started for it, and the race was one of deep in-
terest and beauty. As the competitors descended the
hill, forming a line as regular as that of a body of ca-
valry, and the bright sun glistening on the riders' jackets,
the scene was extremely gay and exciting. The race was
remarkable only for the success of the favourite, Forbidden
Fruit, a success which testified strikingly to the ability of
the " talent" in picking out a winner from so large a field.
The "Royal Hunt Cup" was, as usual, exhibited in the
saloon of the Grand Stand. It is a tazza-shaped bowl,
supported on a stem, around which are three distinct
groups, representing the death of the boar, the death of
the buck, and the death of the fox—all admirably mo-
delled, and of the most elaborate workmanship. The
brim is ornamented with stags' heads, which form what
may be called its handles ; and around the external part
of it are represented in bas reliefs a stag hunt and a herd
of deer in very good taste. It was manufactured at the
establishment of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell after a model
and design by Mr. Alfred Brown.
The withdrawal of both Manganese and Mincepie from
the Fern Hill Stakes destroyed the interest which once
attached to that event. The minor races do not require
notice.

The weather was again warm and sunny, and the at-
tendance fully up to the Wednesday's average.

BETTING ON THE COURSE.
THE GOLD CUP.
6 to 4 on Manganose.

BURGLARY NEAR PENISTONE. Early on Sunday
morning an entrance was effected into the house of W.
Bingley, 'Esq., of Filerslie Lodge. The house is rather
lonely situated, about four miles from Penistone, and
on the borders of the moors. Mrs. Bingley was star-
prised by the Appearance in her room of a person dressed
as a female. She immediately rang the bell and gave an
alarm, when the intruder, with two others whom she
afterwards saw—one having his face blackened—made
their escape, taking with them two hams, about 27lbs.
of beef, a carpet bag, and a quantity of sugar and wine,
having drank one bottle before leaving the premises.
They had also collected a quantity of silver plate, but
this they lefc•. How the entrance was effected remains a
mystery, as all the doors and windows were properly
secured except the one by which they left the house, and
there were no marks of its having been forced. It is
believed that one or more of the party had entered the
house before the doors were locked on the previous night,
and lay concealed until all hal retired to rest. Mr. Bing-
ley was from home at the time.—Manchester Guardian.

WIAT THE SOUTH THINKS OF THRASHING A SENA-
TOR.—We clip the following paragraphs from two Rich-
mond, Virginia, papers. They carry their own c mnment
--The Richmond Examiner says :—" Peace hath her
Victories no less renowned than War.'—Mr. C. Sumner,
senator from Massachusetts, w hos e reputati on as a scholar
rests chiefly upon a discourse on the foregoing text, seems
bent upon illustrating his theory in his own person. He
concludes a two days' discharge of scholarly platitudes
and pedantic dullness by venting a fiithy stream of Bil-
lingsgate on heads hoary with age ; answers insult from
men who would afford him personal satisfaction with
vulgar epithets ; and when caned for cowardly vitupera-
tion, falls.to the floor an inanimate lump of incarnate
cowardice, and most glorious exemplar of the man of
peace." The Richmond Whig says,—" As will be seen
by telegraph, Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, after the
adjournment of the Senate on yesterday, administered
to Senator Sumner, the notorious and foulmouthed Abo-
litionist from Massachusetts, an elegant and effectual
caning. We are rejoiced at this. The only regret we
feel is, that Mr. Brooks did not employ a horsewhip or
a cowhide upon his ',slanderous back, instead of a cane.
We trust the ball may be kept in motion. Seward and
others should catch it next "

[ADTERTISEMENT].—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
remarkable for their efficacy in curing Bad Legs.—Mrs.
Meason, of 12, Queen's Gardens, Brighton, had suffered
with Erysipelas in her legs for the last 15 years, and
although she obtained the best medical aid, and tried
every remedy that could be procured, yet she derived no
benefit until she used Holloway's Ointment and Pills.
These invaluable medicines have effected a perfect cure,
notwithstanding Mrs. Meason was in the 6811 year of
her age, and she now enj lys better health than for many
years before. Sold by all Medicine Vendors through-
out the world ; at Professor Holloway's establishments

friend the great Indian traveller, Major Edie, writes
as follows : " London, 20th March, 1852.—Dear Sir,
—Having suffered fearfully for two years from an enlargement
of the liver and an inveterate diarrhoea, brought on in India
and China, and having triecrthe advice of the most eminent
professional men in China, India, and at home, without any
other result than gradual decay, I was on the brink of the
grave—unable to lift my arms from perfect exhaustion, when
Cspt. Wraughton, of the Hon. E. I. C. Service, recommended
me to try Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food, and
to discard the drugs I was then taking. The result of eating
this delicious Foo i is the perfect, restoration of my health
within a month ; and I take a peculiar pleasure in recommending
all a ufferers to follow my example. I shall be happy to answer
any inquiries. I am, &e., W. EDIE, Major, H.M.S., Unattached.
