SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES—Seconn Day, Wirostautsay.
There was an evident falling of yesterday in the company. atom
however, in number than quality, for most of the leading mambas
of the Aunt son and all the great turf Noblemen were again present.
TbeSame diminution was observable In the sport, but that also ap.
plied lessee its quality than number, for two better races than those
which constituted the day's running have net been seen for some
time. The defalcation is attributable to the pre-eminent aurae.
dons of the Grand or Gold Cup Day (the third). which is always'
characterized by the number and richness of the stakes, the ItadWi
brlty of the horses, and the multitude of the date's.
The Wit'
dal at Ascot is like the same day at Epsom, to which in MUM le
its features it bears a strung resemblance; in one especial particular
it is likely,to bear a very disagreeable affinity, via.—in the dusty,
stare of the roads.
It 14 with treat pleasure we state, that poor Barnard, whose lib
was put in such danger on Tuesday by the accident which Oceanid
in running for the Oatlands, is much better than was ezpected,as
great hopes are entertained that he will speedily be able to remise
his avocation, in which he bears a most respectablecharacter.
The King arrived on the Heath precisely at one o'clock, in the
same form, and accompanied as on the first day. His Majesty '
received with the most fervent expressions of loyalty and attach-
ment which hi, Majesty acknowledged with his accustomed grace
and affability. Betides the Royal Household, there were present

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Jen IS:
WARD Off THE COURT.—*9SLSI V. PRIOR..
Mr. HEALD said, he bad a Petition to present on be-
half of a Gentleman of the name.of Skinner, a Captain
in his Majesty's military service; and it prayed that he
might be allowed to marry the plaintiff, Miss Robins,
a ward of the Court of Chancery, on making a settle-
ment of 5681. upon her. It appeared by the statement
of the Learned Counsel, that Captain Skinner was about
to take his departure for India, and was, anxious to ob-
tain the consent of the Court before his departure. The
fortune of the Lady 'was extremely small, being a sum
yielding an income of only 151. ; and' it was thought
that no objection could be made to-the connection.
The father of the present petitioner, Captain Skinner,
was a Gentleman of considerable fortune; but had re-
fused to advance a single farthing, conceiving (as the
Learned Counsel supposed) that as his son was going
to India, he might make a much more advantageods
match with one of the Eastern Princesses. Captain
Skinner however, thought very differently, and pre-
ferred kiss Robins to all Princesses. He was desirous
of doing any thing which the Court thought expedient,
and all that could be required *as that the Lady's for-
tune should be settled on her for life; then to• the hos•
bandit* he survived, and then Co the heirs of the Lady
upon his death.
Mr. TURNER spoke shortly in support of the Petition.
Mr. BICIMRSTRTH appeared on the part of the guar-
dians of the young Lady, and consented to the arrange-
mem.
The Loan CHANCELLOR immediately granted the
prayer of the Petition. A settlement would be imme-
diately prepared in the terms stated by Mr. Heald.
Mr: HEALD said, there would be no difficulty in
preparing a proper settlement. A reference to the
Master was not here requisite, as the property was so
small, and the case of so simple a nature.
Several Ladies were in Court listening with great attention be.
hind the curtain on the left of his Lordship, and retired apparently
highly pleased with the result of the application.
HILL ON CuiTll.
Mr. KNIGHT said he had to make a motion of a some-
what singular nature. and under these circumstances
A- suitor had some time since applied for and obtained,
an order to tax his Solicitor's bill of costs, and althotssh
the orderhad been drawn up a fortnight ago, the patty
obtaining it had taken no proceedings whatever upon
it. The Solicitor had also been precluded, by the terms
of the order, from taking any steps to compel psyrtient
of the sum due upon the bill. The suitor bad, he dn-
derstood, very recently obtained a verryaluable ap-
pointment in a foreign country, and it was state./ that
he was now about to leave England. Being placed in
this situation, the Solicitor -was anxious to obtain from
,the Court eithcr an order that his cheat should enter
