ASCOT HEATH RACES.

The commencement of the meeting on Tuesday was not
marked by anything superior either in the attendance or the
sport; both reached the average and nothing more. That they
did not exceed it is owing to the inferior quality of the horses
this year, which has materially lessened the interest generally
excited by the Three year old Stakes, while the Cup is so shorn
of its attractions by the vast superiority of Plenipo's public
performances that to couple his name with defeat would amount
almost to heresy. That the company was so good is to be at-
tributed to the extreme beauty of the weather and the promised
visit of their Majesties.
The •St. James's Palace Stakes of 100 sows each, h ft, for three
year old colts. 8 subs.
Lord Orford's b c Ascot Natt 1
Lord Warwick's c Pelops
Betting: sto 2 and 3tol on Ascot. The horses kept together
for the first quarter of a mile at a moderate pace, when Ascot
took up the. running, which he continued throughout; at the
betting stand, however, he had so little the best of it in appear-
ance tha-. Nett touched him with his spur and lifted his whip,
out without using it; he immediately regained his advantage,
and in the end tvon very cleverly by a length, being precisely
the same difference that showed itself in the running for the
Derby.

NEW WHIG JOB.—We are indebted to the. West Devon
Standard for the following new exposure of the jobbing spirit of
w6iggery :-.--Mr. Ewart, a brother of the member for Liverpool,
has been appointed inspector of all the steam machinery con-
nected with steam vessels in the navy and the naval department,
with a salary of DM. and allowance for travelling expensf s,
besides a houso in • Woolwich Dockyard. It will naturally be
asked in the present season of retrenchment why is such an
of4ce necessary, and if it is, why Mr. Goodrick, who was re-
cently. superannuated in the vigour of his intellect upon £lOO.
per annum, is not recalled to his duty ? Mr. Goodrick is a
scientifically educated man. Mr. Evart, we apprehend, is
only c,nversant with steam-engines so, far,as.he has seen them.
at work in his own cotton manufactory, in which avocation,
until very lately, he has passed his life.—Standard.
