Mr. LONg fined him 20s. for resisting the officer,but as he nagbt
as well have been called on to pay off the nationatdebt, he was seat ,
to his old quarters, the House of Correction. On being remove/a -49
from the bar he held both hands up to his face and pretended- Ws
cry, but in spite of all his efforts to fall into the " melting mood,"
he was quite unable to " wipe away a tear."
QUEEN-SQ UARE.
A CARRIAGE HORSE KILLED BY A CAL—Yesterday, John
Taylor, the driver of the cab 1,409, appeared on a summons, which
had been obtained against him by Joseph Edwards, coachman to
Lord Charles Bea clerk, charging him with careless driving,
whereby a very valuable horse belonging to his master had beets
killed.

His Lordship was in attendance, and stated the animal to Dace
been worth 75 guines. The proceedings were, of course, not taken
to reco►er compensation, but for the public offence.

The coachman stated that at about eleven on Thursday night he
drove his master's carriage from Belgrave.square into HaMin..
street. Another carriage turned into Halkin.street at the same
moment from Wilton-crescent, which being on its near side caused
witness to keep in the middle of the road, and a third carriage at
the same time came in a contrary direction on its near side. The
latter slackened its pace to go steadily round the coiner, and the
cab driven by defendant, which was behind it, came sharply out
into the middle of the road, in order to pass, and met witness sud.
denly. Witness and defendant both called out, but the cab was
coming at such a rate that the driver could not pull up, and one of
the shafts of the cab entered the of shoulder of the mare in his
Lordship's carriage, and went right to her heart, and she died in a
few minutes. Defendant's horse was knocked down by the collision.
Witness was driving at a steady trot. Defendant was about Revak
feet from the kerb on his side at the time.
Richard Brown, a police constable, proved that when be came
up immediately after the accident, the cab was about the distance
described from the kerb. He had seen the cab enter Halkin-
street from Grosvenor.place, and it was only going at a " farish"
pace.

Defendant said he was on his right side, when libe carriage.
which was driven at a furious rate, ran against Mm and knocked
his horse down. He (defendant) was at a very gentle trot. ?le
then called

The Reverend W. Malet, a clergyman residing in
Mount-street, Grosvenor.square, who stated that he had
hired the defendant's cab on the evening in question, and
had been driven from Davies•street. As they were
going through Halkin-street, he was thrown forward in the cab by
a sudden jerk, and got out as soon as he could to ascertain what
was the matter, and saw a carriage slowly moving towards the
middle of the road. Witness said the defendant was going at the
rate of about seven miles an hour, and was on his own side, being
about two yards from the kerb. It was his opinion that neither
party were going fast, and he considered it to have been purely an
accident.

Mr. BURRELL was of the same opinion, and dismissed the
complaint.

His Lordship observed that proceedings would not have been
taken but that the cab proprietor came the next morning and
abused his servants and everybody else in the place.

ASCOT HEA.TH RACES.
(FRIDAY.)
Our reports of the three first days have shown that this
meeting has not inaptly been designated a " monster meeting."
Such a succession of unrivalled sport is without precedent, aid
we have now to close our pleasant, but rather laborious, duties,
with the return of a fourth and last day, quite in character
with those that preceded it. Three classes of the Wokinglom,
in addition to the other stakes, is a proof of the immense num-
ber of horses congregated in the different racing stables, and
of the determination of their owners to go band in hand witk
the Stewards in making sport. The public are deeply indebted
to the Master of the Buckhounds for the pains he has taken to
bring the meeting to so successful an issue. Nothing in the
shape of a wrangle, or of an attempted fraud, as in 1844, oc-
curred to lessen the enjoyment of the racing, nor beyond the
accident that befel the Noble Lord himself, and the number of
horses that fell victims to the heat, dust, and fatigue on the
Cup day, did we hear of any serious drawbacks to the general
success of the week.

The subordinate departments of the management, with one
grand exception, were most satisfactorily filled ; Mr. Clark as
Judge, and I.lr. Hibburd, as Clerk of the Course, were quite
"at heme," and left nothing to be desired. The police, under
Superintendants May ( A) and Pearce (F), from all that passed
under our observation, were, perfectly efficient in the per-
formance of their duties on the Course ; if a few snore men
had been distributed on the approaches to it, several collisions,
arising from obstinacy or intoxication, might have been
prevented. But there is "nothing perfect under the sun,"
and the Ascot is not without a blot, and the sooner it is re-
moved the better. We allude to the race-cards and lists ; sad
as there are "two Richards in the field," it must be understood
that we speak of the " official " ones. The blunders and omis-
sions were manifold and incomprehensible, and the supply se
late and insufficient, that the fortunate few who obtained cards
on the second day were, in many instances, obliged to pay five
times the regular price! We have no doubt that Lord firmly',
will take measures to prevent a similar source of complaint next
year, by entrusting the printing to competent people.
Of yesterday's racing it is sufficient to observe, by way of
preface, that it attracted a small company, chiefly of the work-
ing classes, and was as goad as it was plentiful. The wea-
ther, saving a smart but most aceeptable shower just before the
last race, was fine, but overpoweringly close and sultry. The
racing commenced at half-past one, with

The start for this race was very badly managed. The Artful
Dodger getting away with a lead of several lengths, although
at the time Physalis and Triumvir were turned away from the
post—of course their courses were completely put out—The
Artful Dodger, notwithstanding be got off so well, was beaten at
the turn, and Beaumont, taking his place, made the rest of the
running and won in a canter by three lengths. The winner
was claimed.

laid off, went up to Wee Pet, and they finished the race,
clear of their horses, Discord, in the last half-dozen strides,
winning by half a length. The Caesar colt a respectable third.
