ASCOT "MAW RACES.

These Races commenced yesterday, and the company exhi-
bited a blue of splendour never excelled. Hyde Park, on a Sun-
day, was a miniature picture of the grand scene. His Margery
arrived en the ground at one &slack, and entered the new Stand,
erected on the site of the old one. It Is an unique building of
One story, *pen at the t6p, with an entrance-yard walled In,
with a cellar for refreshments. The Knits, on shelving himself
in front of the Stand, was loudly greeted. He was =comps-

Ilia Blamer and immediate attendants wore the Windsor
uniform. The KING appeared in excellent health. As soon as
the horses were a-foot his Measlier seemed highly interested In
the result, repeatedly used a telescope in watching them round
the Course, and evidently feeling• much gratified as they ap-
proached the goal. Between the different races, which were the
best ever run on this, or perhaps on any other Course, his M.
aarry occasionally withdrew to the refreshment room elow, but
never for more than a few minutes at a time; and every time he
returned he appeared to contemplate the gay and picturesque
scene spread so luxuriantly before him with increased delight.
A little after five his MAJLITY set out on his retnrn to Wind-
sor; and immediately after the sporting crowd streamed along
the different roads leading from the heath to their respective
dwellings fur the night.

DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

TR A LEE, DI AY StS.

I took a walk this morning amongst the poor people
at Tonevane and Curragrague : of 129 familiei there
were only three that had a morsel of food, or could
sit down to any kind of breakfast ; they are actually
starving. They say, that in dry weather their only
support is by selling three or four baskets of turf a
day, which they carry on their backs three miles,
and of course make three or four journeys each day.
For some time back they could get one penny a basket,
but that the price is now reduced to one halfpenny;
and that, for their best day's earning, they cannot pro-
cure more than.two-pennyworth of bread or potatoes in
the evening for a family of six or seven people; but,
said they, in the wet weather we must starve : their
wot ds were, " We must only look to the mercy of Gov."
Amongst those are many able and willing to labour
if they could procure work. There are some, unable
to labour, and a proportion of miserable widows and
orphans, but all in a state of starvation. They are
dropping down with hunger; and I believe that if the
potatoes were landed to-morrow, and that they got
relief, many of them would sink and perish from the
famine they have already endured.—Western Herald.
CASTLEBAR, NAY 27.
A man was accidentally found last week, under a
brigde in this town, in so completely exhausted a
state, as to leave no doubt that he lay. down there to
breathe his last. Another person, having found his
way into a Gentleman's kitchen, immediately fell
down, it was supposed lifeless. Both were, with at-
tention, relieved for the time.
