ASCOT HEATH RACES.—The commencement of this meeting, on Tuesday, was

marked by fine weather, good sport, and fashionable company. Besides, there were not a few experienced thief-takers on the ground, and a great many expert and exceedingly industrious thieves, who, under the nose of the Kim,' almost, and in the very teeth of the redbreasts, abstracted handkerchiefs enough to stock a linen-draper's shop. The King, and his attendant Court, arrived from the Royal Lodge precisely at one o'clock in the usual state—viz. a long string of car- riages of various kinds, preceded by the venerable Master of le Stan-hounds, and "the foresters in green velvet, surrounded by a great number of galloping grooms in bright scarlet and gold ;" and was received by as splendid a company as ever graced a race-course, with every demonstration of loyalty and affection.—Ilis Majesty, say the daily Papers, " looks younger than he did five years ago, and apparently better both in health and spirits than he has been for these ten years past." Among the personages immediately about his Majesty's person were the Princess Lieven, the Ladies Willoughby D'Eresby, Scarborough, Harcourt, Exeter, Freemantle, Conymg,ham, Maryborough, Strathaven, and Maria Conyng- ham ; the Dukes of Cumberland, Richmond, Grafton, Leeds, Portland, Dorset, and Buccleugh; Marquises Exeter, Worcester, and Tavistock ; Lords Verulam, Scarborough, Harcourt, Foley (and Lady), Chesterfield, Fife, Ashley, Strathaven, G. Bentinck, Tichfield, Clinton, G. Cavendish, Morpeth, Clarendon (and Lady) ; Lords Robert and Charles Manners, and Lord Castlereagh. Later in the day, the Prince and Princess Esterhazy and their eldest daughter arrived at the Royal Stand, and were very graciously received. His Majesty left the course soon Mier two o'clock, receiving and acknowledging the gratulations of the multitude.
