ASCOT RACES, THURSDAY.

THE CUP DAY.
The Queen was unfortunate in the weather. The pro-
pitious skiey influences which were Wont to mark the pro-
gress of her tours proved adVerse, and the sunshine which
is always associated with her trips abroad had no existence.
Rain fell with little intermission throughout the day, and
the mass of tinforellas which sprung Up appeared like dark-
coloured toadstools which the wet had suddenly called into
existence. Still the inclement weather did not deter a large
number of iktne4 visitors from attending the Course, and
theft Who patrdnised the Stand were well sheltered. The
balcony and (the wooden stand beyond actually glistened
with bright hues, and, despite the dark leaden-tinted clouds,
bright flashes of sunshine came out and made the bright
dresses of the ladies clustered on the lawn like a " flower-
besprinkled meadow." The race produced a most diminish-
ing effect upon the attendance, and the presence of ladies
witnessing racss from closed carriages, or sheltering them-
selves under umbrellas, was not a pleasant sight to behold.
The Queen arrived on the Course just prior to the com-
mencement of the second race, and was received with all
that enthusiasm which is generally expressed when her Ma-
jesty mixes amongst the people to witness their pastimes.
Much interest was created by the presence of the Prince
of Wales, and he obtained a separate ovation as soon as he
was recognised. No sooner had the Royal party arrived
than the horses for the second race started. The remarks
which we append require no comment. Rupee, the winner
of the Cup, Was, we understand, purchased before the race
by Lord Stamford, for a large price.

TIM VISITORS' PLATE, WBDNESAAY•—On Thursday
morning a fresh objection was made to Plumper, who came
in first for this race, on the ground that the owner of the
winner started another. horse (J oskin) in the same race,

TILE IIvoURRECHON 1N SICLLY.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.)
PALERMO, MAY 27.
It is 2 p.m., and am writing to you with the
bombshells flying above my head through the air.
When the landing of Garibaldi produced the first fit
of terror at Naples, the youthful Bourbon sent to his
brave fleet concentrated in the Bay of Palermo the
order to bombard his faithful Palermitans, and re-
duce their town to ashes if they should dare to
rise against his paternal authority. The Paler-
mitans had been treated once already in this
paternal manner by the illustrious father of the
present Sovereign, who, as you remember, figures
in history as King Bomba for having given these
souvenirs of his love to every large town of his
kingdom. Whoever has been in a town which
is bombarded will tell you that it is very unplea-
sant, especially if you have not got the means of
answering in a condign manner, and yet Palermo
has risen this morning. Yesterday an official bulle-
tin of the Government announced to the ralermi-
tans that Garibaldi's defeated bands were flying in
the direction of Corleonee, followed by the victori-
ous troops of the King ; that the bands which had
joined him in Sicily were going home gradually
and tranquilly; and that in a short time all would
be over. This morning at daybreak Garibaldi ap-
peared at the eastern gates of Palermo, and after a
comparatively bloodless struggle entered them.
• By 10 a.m. the greater part of the town was in his
hands.

The plan of attack which Garibaldi conceived
was to surprise the posts in the lower and compa-
ratively ill defended part of the town, to throw
himself into the town, and then gradually work his
way from street to street. The two roads leading
to this part of the town run almost parallel, and
not far from each other. That close to the sea-
shore was the least guarded, containing merely a
company or so, altogether cat off from all communi-
cation. The task would have been easier from this
side had it not been for the fear of the march of
a long column being discovered, and thus an alarm
given. The second, the high road from the inte-
rior, was therefore chosen as the line of operations.
It crosses, about half a mile from the town, the
route Del Ammiraglio, leads through a large open
street to the stradone on this side of the town, and
enters the town at the Porta di Termini. At this
gate the Neapolitans had made a sandbag barri-
cade, which was occupied by twd companies. The
stradone before it was enfiladed by a couple of
mountain guns, placed at the gate of Sant' Antonio.
Beyond the stradone small forts extended all along
the road up to the bridge, and the outposts were
just on the other side of the bridge.
With that just coup d'ccil which Garibaldi cer-
tainly possesses, he had singled out this point as
the most practicable. Having, with the exception
of the troops he had brought with him, but rough,
undisciplined guerillas at his disposal, he saw that
the best chance was to concentrate all his forces
and surprise or break through by main force. The
operation was to be assisted by a general rise of the
people in the town. _ _

him.

Having sketched out his plan, he convoked the
different guerilla chiefs and informed them of his
intention. Ile told them that it was not his cus-
tom to have councils of war, but he thought it for
once good to consult them, as upon the resolution
taken must depend the fate of Sicily, and perhaps
of Italy. There were only two things to be done—
either to try and get possession of Palermo by a
coup de main, or else to withdraw and begin a
regular organisation in the interior, and form an
army. He, for his part, was for the coup de main,
which would at once settle the fate of the island.
He told tb em to be brief in their remarks and
not deliberate long. Most were utterly astonished
at the boldness of this plan, and made some re-
marks about the want of ammunition for their
men. They were told, for the hundredth
time, that it was not long shots which imposed on
the well-armed Neapolitans, but a determined rush
in advance—that they ought not to waste their am-
munition and fire off their guns for sport, and were
promised whatever could be spared. This objec-
tion being waived, all expressed more or less loudly
their approbation of the plan, and were dismissed
with the injunction to animate their people and
keep up their courage.
The first idea was to make the attack in the
middle of the night—the Neapolitans don't like to
stir at night, and there was every chance of a panic
among them ; but there was some danger that way
likewise for the Sicilian insurgents, and it was
thought best to make such arrangements as would
bring the force at dawn to the gates of the town.
According to the original and better plan of the
General himself and his Adjutant-General, Colonel
Turr, the movement was to have been made along
the main road from Misilmeri, broad enough to
admit of considerable development of the columns,
and commodious in every respect. The native
captains, however, suggested the Pass of Mezzagna,
which descends from the heights behind Gebel Rosso
into the plain of Palermo. According to their state-
ments it was much shorter, and by no means diffi-
cult. Their statements were believed, and the whole
force remind orders to be concentrated by nightfall
on the summit of the pass, crowned with a church.
According to the first disposition the troops
brought by the General himself were to lead the
way, and the squadre to follow ; but some of the
chiefs begged it as a favour for their carps to
have the honour of being first in the town—a claim
which could not be very well refused. The plan
was, therefore, modified. The guides, and three
men from each company of the Cacciatori delle Alpi,
were formed into an avant-garde, confided to Major
Tukori, a Hungarian officer, who distinguished
himself under Gen. Km&ty on the 29th of Sept. at
Kars. Behind this avant-garde followed the Sici-
lians, commanded by La Maga, an emigrant, who
had come over with Garibaldi. The second line
was led by the riflemen of Genoa—excellent shots,
all armed with the Swiss carbine. Behind them
came the two battalions of Cacciatori delle Alpi,
and in the rear the rest of the Sicilians.
The order having been distributed, the different
bands gradually worked their way towards the sum-
mit of the pass. The packing up at head-quarters
did not take much time ; it soon after broke up its
camp and followed the troops. I was mounted on
at regular Rosinante, with a halter passed round the
PA And provided with a saddle which seemed to
have been formed to fit on the vertebrae of my lean
black charger. A blanket was, however, found in
due time, and on the whole I cannot complain.
The road up to the pass winds along rows of gigan-
tic cactus hedges, which give a thoroughly Eas-
tern character to the country. It was just sunset
when we arrived on the top, where, through a
gap, we could see the bay and town of Palermo
and the sea beyond, looking more like a fairy
picture than realty. All the mountains, with
their rugged points naturally of a reddish tint,
seemed to have drunk in the rays of the setting
sun, and exhibited that rosy colour which I had
thought hitherto a special gift of the plain of Attica.

doubled vigour as soon as thesunhtandatset.ltproved a bad road for the expedition,
moun-
tain pass, but it was lovely to look upon.
In order to entertain the Neapolitans with the idea
that all was safe on that side, the usual large fires
were kindled on the tops of the mountains, and kept
up long after our departure by men left behind
for that purpose. Garibaldi went up to look at
the position underneath, or perhaps, to indulge in
that kind of reverie to which he is subject in such
solemn moments, and which ends in a concentra-
