SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT HEATH RACES.—PIage DAY, TUESDAY, JUNE
6.
The beet and most attractive of the Metropolitan Races som-
menced yesterday, and, from the result, we do not hesitate to pre-
dict that the meeting of 1826 will be one of the most • splendid
upon record.
" His Majesty arrived on the Course a little before the commence-
ment of the races, in a chariot and four bays, attended by the Duke
of Dorset, Master of the How, and followed by his suite, in car-
riages and four. His Majesty came up the New Mile, and was
loudly greeted by the spectators. His Majm, on arriving at the
Royal Staud, y presented himself at the window, and repeatedly
bowed to the multitude assembled iu front. ma Maj,,,ty juoked
very well, and throughout the day held conversation with the dif-
ferentnoblemen and gentlemen present, amongst whom we no-
ticed his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke of Welling..
ton, the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Grafton, the Duke of
Portland ; the Marquises of Graham, Conynghame, and Exeter
Lords Fife, Stradbroke, Dunwich, Egremont, &c. There were
also in the Stand, the Marchioness of Conytighame, and Lady
Georgina and Miss Wellesley, and several families of distinction ;
indeed, the whole of the great room in the Stand, the anti-room,
and the flat, were actually crowded.
llis Royal Highness the Duke of York was in his own stand
repeatedly, which was also occupied by several fashionables ; the
fiat was also covered with spectators.
The sport terminated about, a quarter before five o'clock, and
his Majesty left the course in the same style as he came, amidst
the cheering of the people.
Sir Richard Birme, attended by Townshend, Sayers, Bishop,
and a strong body of police, was on the alert, and effectually
guarded against the depredations of the pickpockets ; nor did we
hear that any accident omirred.
His Majesty in the evening entertained a select dinner party, at
which were present the Duke of Portland, Duke of Wellington,
puke of Dorset, and a few others.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York had also a dinner party
of 96, including the Duke of Grafton, Marquis of Tuvistoelt,
Marquielt Cojoigheme, Lord Jeteey, Lord Clarendon, Lord
Orford, Camel' Russell, J. Douglas, Esq., &c.ln the match between Lord Exeter's Zealot and Mr. Theobald's

STATEMENT EY TIE COMMITTEE FOR, RELIEF OF
THE DISTRESSEb MANINACTURERS.

The Committee for the promotion end distribution
of the Subscriptions in behalf of the distressed •Manu-
*torero, at their last Meeting, had kid before them
the 'Report of a Special
.Committee, appointed to cor-
respond with the diffivent manufacturing districts, and
to collect accurate information regarding the, extent of
the present distress. The Report was accompanied
with numerous documents, specifying the particulars
required to be ascertained ; and it is matter of deep
regret to state, that the extent of human suffering is
far beyond any description of it which has been laid.
before the public. Independent of the County 9f
Lanark, it was ascertained that there were *Tway*
of thirty thousand operatives entirely without employ,
mein in the. counties of Renfrew, Ayr, Dumbarton,
Stirling, and Forfar. The proportion of looms, with-
out a single web to employ them, amounted, on an
average; to three-fourths of the whole number in
many of the towns, whose population consisted chiefly
of weavers and other operatives., Whole families were,'
in consequence, literally without the common neces-
series of life ; many of them having scarcely ten-
pence per day to supply the wants of four or five indi-
viduals. It appeared also that a great number of poor
women, old, and young, whose employment depended
wholly on the work furnished them by the weavers, had
been thrown destitute on the country ; and the
schools, in many quarters, were entirely deserted,„

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY. EXTRACTS FROM mi.: MORNING PAPERS,

JUNK 7, 1826.

(TUX TIMES.]

In a subsequent column will be found the copy of
a Pretest from the United States' Consul, Mr.
Forbes, at Blienos Ayres, delivered on the 14th of
February to Admiral Lobo, counnandinr, the Brazilian
blockading squadron off that port, against the manner
witich the tight of blockade has, in this instance,
been asserted and exercised by his Imperial Majesty
Don Pedro. It 'appears that on a line of coast, ex-
tending to 20 degrees of latitude—or almost 1,300
'British miles—there has been stationed but one single
'sloop of war, called the Maria (la Gloria. This an-
swers pretty accurately, it must be confessed, to the
common understanding of a " paper blockade,"—
a thing condemned as utterly fradulent by all men who
have written or reasoned on the subject ; and fairly
abandoned many years ago by the Government which
had first invented it. rl'he United States object to a
paper blockade in a degree exceeding, if we do not mis-
take, any Measure of condemnation which hadbeen ap-
plied to it by the Courts of Europe, during our war
with Buonaparte. They announce, that if a blockade
shall be declared against a whole coast, and maintained
by a squadron manifestly inadequate to enforce the
measure along the entire coast, such a blockade ought
to he deemed illegal, even with regard to those har-
bours in which it is effectually executed ; and we are
disposed to agree in such' a construction of the law of
nations, as justifiable by humanity and common souse;
inasmuch as a belligerent power has no xightik re-
duce the commerce of neutral states to such a condition
of ruinous uncertainty as must follow from the esta-
blishment of a system of blockade which might be ren-
dered either rigorous or futile on different parts of the
coast declared to be blockaded, according to the mo-
mentary caprice or determination of the officer in com-
mand of the force so employed. One remark we are
compelled to make upon this subject—and it is humi-
liating to the Government of Great Britain. It is ac-
knowledged that British commerce has suffered be-.
yond. that of most other nations from this blockade of
a friendly port, with which our merchants had hitherto
carried on an intercourse of the highest importance.—
Vet the only protest which we have heard of is that
of the American Consul, whose single ground of in-
terference is the injury occurring to the commerce of
the United States from this same offensive measure....
Why, then, we ask, should the American Consul be
active, while the Consul of Great Britain is indifferent
or supine ? Is it because there are but a set of homely
merchants on one side, and a magnificent gilt ginger-
bread Emperor on the other ? Mr. Huskisson, we
should think, might have been more alert in his
guardianship of our mercantile interests. The Right
Hon. Gentleman ought to bear in mind, that if his
friends boast of his having rescued commerce from its
restraintsp there are others who accuse him of taking
away its protections.

The Homan Catholics of England have published
an Address to their Protestant Countrymen, which
will be found in this day's journal. This publication
is extremely well timed, when the support, of their
claims may be likely to prove prejudicial to the: hopes
of many candidates for a seat in Parliament. The
address also, though ardently, is discreetly written,
and most respectably signed ; nod we recommend it
to general attention. " Every principle or practice,"
nay the authors of the Address, " hostile m the re-
motesvdegree to the institutions of the country, we
most explicitly disclaim. Year after year we repeat
the humiliating task of disavowal ; still we suffer the
penalties of guilt : we ask you, is this to endure for
ever ?" An - affecting inquiry! We do hope, in-
deed, that-those who make it will in time follow their
inure numerous brethren, and swell the ranks of a
purer faith, in which case political distinctions cease
of course : and if the retention of the disqualifying
laws against Catholics would accelerate the arrival Of
that desirable' event, we should not plead their repeal
but pereeentiarr is no very promising way of making
converts, It 1138 befOre occurred to us to ask the
question ..Why cannot the Popedom be abolished,
and then there would be no " foreign Power or Po-
tentate" to dread, or to affect to dread. We would
not have the present man touched, whatever we may
think alibi- character; but let it be determined that
he shall hart no' suCcessor. We are sure that if we
had negociated one-twentieth part as much for this
purpose as we haVe negociated for the abolition of
the slave-trade, commencing also at the same:time,
we shookl long ago have come to a happy condo-

ratonNtNo ttertm.».3
The Lord Chief Jubtice of the Common, Pleas,
who, when free from bodily pain, is one of the best-
tempered men in the world, permits himself now and
then to speak somewhat more angrily of the press than
upon reflection, perhaps, he himself seriously feels.
We do not, however, quarrel with his Lordship on
this account ; for i-. the first place, we do not believe
he is so unfriendly to the press as his expressions
would now and then lead us to imagine, or even if
we were, we think the press has much less to fear
from those who openly avow their hostility to it, than
lion' those false friends who stab while, they arc cares-
sing it. We are far from eontending that the press
ought not to be kept within proper bounds, or that it
tau he worse employed than in obstructing the pur-
poNeB of justice ;still we think that the process of
eontempt, alluded to by the Learned Judge, if at,
tempted to be net in practice, would be found so un-
just and inquibitAgial in its nature, raid so little adapt-
ed to modem times, theft a higher authority would
“ion he called upon t(, put an end to its operation.
Blackstone, in enumerating the various kinds of con-
tempts over which Courts have summitry power,
mentions the " printing of fidse accounts of causes
,them depending in judgment ." and '' speaking or
writing eontempttiously of the Court or Judges
acting in their judicial capacity ;" and though he
states that a Court has power to issue an at-
laeluneut in such cases, yet he goes on also to
i.„O how such 'attachment may he traversed, mid
become a cause, in fact, to be tried upon af-
fidavits, which the Courts become atonee the ae-
euser4, the .Jury, amid the Judges. That every Court
hhould possess a summary power Of protecting is
when violated by parties in its pre-
own proceedings
'wirer., or by its own ?Ilic_ers any where, we readily
admit—nor am we less whiled to allow that absent
itable; but M'
eontempts are and ought
to be pun
we contend is, that these latter ou,s t,„ot, and
ca'Tn':
not in their nature be the subject ot ,summary process,
but must be left to be prose tinted either by the Gant
pr Judge offended ; by the Attorney-General, ht the

(parties, as separate offences. To contend, for in-
stance, that a printer may be , tlragged up from Lan?,
caster or from York, and consigned, without trial or
redress, to a long imprisonment, for merely giving
publicity to sentiments which a Judge may consider
amounts to a reflection upon him in his judicial capa-
city, is a doctrine which would savour more of the
Star Chamber than of a modern tribunal.- In conclu-
sion, we would beg to assert our firm conviction, that
there is no part of the press which possesses any, the
least-inclination to bring Courts of Justice, or any of
their proceedings, into contempt. To say nothing of
how much of . the finite and honour of the most emi-
nent lawyers have been derived from this channel, we
believe that the Courts have no firmer or more useful
auxiliary than the press, which makes known their
upright judgments to the world, inculcating the re-
spect which ever flows from an exhibition of wisdom
and justice united. At the same time the press, which
nine times in ten is only another word for public
opinion, forms the most useful restraint upon all ex-
cesses and abuses of power, whether in Courts of
Justice or .elsewhere ; and though it may itself be
guilty of excesses, it restrains ten thousand times
more excesses in others, than, in its worst abuse, it
ever has given rise to.

[BRITISH PRINS.]
While our contemporaries are endeavouring to point
out the course which it is proper for the people of
England to porta on the approaching election, it
may seem singular in us on such an occasion if we
should abstain from stating what that confession of
faith is by which alone we think it possible to effect
our political salvation. The fact, however is, that we
are not tied to particular forms either in politics or
religion. We are bigots only in one instance. We
maintain that no political man is to be trusted whose
first wish is not to' benefit his country ; and though
we are by no means disposed to say that all the me-
thods by sr hich that great object may be pursued are
equally calculated to produce the effect so much to be
desired, we are inclined to.be extremely tolerant in all
cases of difference of opinion—confident that the col-
lision of sentiments will at last elicit the true system;
and anxious that every side of the question should, be
heard; in order that all objection to general measures
may be fully foreseen and effectually guarded against.
If the people of England determined to support no
candidates hut those who advocate particular mea-
sures, the Legislature would be reduced to a virtual
nonentity—our Representatives would have nothing
to do but to give in silence those votes which they'
pledged themselves to give from the outset. Discus-
, sion would then be as much a jest as, it is said to have
been,_ in periods when the votes of Members arc sup-
posed to have depended on very different motives from
those which have swayed majorities on recent occa-
sions. The good sense 'of the electors will point out
to them those men, whose willingness and ability are
most likely to enable them effectually to serve their
constituents ; and we are confident that such men may
be found, with many shades of difference in their opi-
nions—agreeing in all essential particulars, and dis-
posed to yield in minuter points, when once con-
vinced of the propriety of so doing.
