THE DERBY DAY. The appearance of the Downs has been offs& de scribed, and all that will be necessary on this occa sion will be to repeat former details, with a con siderable amount of exaggeration in every feature. There were more acrobats, and gipsies, and melo dish' than ever in the open, more carriages tan the hill, several thousands more spectators about the ropes, and greater crowds on the grand stand and the neighbouring erections, than had ever been seen on any former occasion. Three millions and a half, we think, the registrar-gene ral told ns was the last decennial return ; there must certainly have been the odd half million on Epsom Downs yesterday. The Hill was many-coloured with bright bonnets and smart parasols, and the stands and the Corner and the hills and the valleys were black with male humanity. If you went to the starting-point you thought all the world was there, but if you hurried across to the Hill or the Grand Stand you felt equally sure that it had migrated thither. The last-named favourite resort of the betting world was packed to suffocation. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge hid been acsiommodated with seats in the stewards room, but for the rest of the sporting world they had not even elbow room to put down their bets, which they might be heard vociferating until the moment when the dual and decisive figures were run up at the winning-post. There were a large number of peers present, and en immense number of members of the House of Commons, amongst whom. great ninny persons pointed out General Peel, who, it was gene rally believed, had a deep interest in the success of his equine namesake. The weather, which Lad been rine in the morning, became very lowering as the eventful moment drew nigh, the sharp wind whis tled through the Stand, and those who had come to the ground in gossamer paletots had painful evidence of the uncertainty of an English climate. It was said that with all this crowd there was not much business done, and a lady who sold correct cards iuforined us confidentially that "she never nee a poorer lot." A very distinguished party of card sharpers arrived by the half-past one train,but they could do nothing, for everyone was as sharp as themselves, and they speedily returned without giving the slightest trouble to the police. It was said also that the outside crowd was more than usually obstreperous, but we must confess that to our judgment they were civil enough, and cleared the course at the bidding of Mr. Superintendent Walker in a very prompt and orderly manner. Their nerves were, it is true, unusually excited by the number of false starts, respecting which they bad various mysterious theories, and they shouted " They're off " in consequence more than once at the wrung time; but, taken as a whole, their con duct was not much more unruly than we have ob served at a royal drawing-room or a very crowded Mao meeting at Exeter-hall. The race itself was only a slice in the day's proceedings. There were, as we Lave said before, six or seven false starts, for which nobody could account, but which everybody said spoiled the race fur General Peel ; then a flying cavalcade was seen cresting the distant hill, with a white horse well in front, and causing people to cry out frantically " Warrior will win !" then an interval of a minute, but which seemed to be an age, in which we at the Stand saw nothing, then a tramp said a quivering of the ground, and then the whole ruck came thundering down, Blair Athol in the front, the General and Scottish Chief following close behind him, and the remaining horses of the correct card bring ing up the rear at various respectful distances. The horses did not seem to run so very quick— they never do at the Derby, and yet their per formance was worthy of the old Eclipse days. The time was taken by Benson's "Chronograph," the most accurate time measurer yet invented, and it gave 2 min. 44 sec. against 2.45 in 1862, and 2.52 1863, so that the pace was this year exceedingly good, and better than either of its two immediate predecessors. There was a moment of tremendous excitement as the horses passed the Stand, and gen tlemen snouted unheard-of odds, of which no one took the slightest notice, but almost immediately after the crowds were streaming away rapidly out of the Stand, the losers looking exceedingly grave, as is their wont, and the rejoicing bookmakers shouting •' Blair Athol has won ! what a jolly sell." EPSOM SUMMER MEETING. (Atom otatsroamm coaaserommarr.) Remembering vividly how the national carnival was last year marred by the wretched weather, it became a matter of anxiety moms intending visitors to the Dome am to what might be the next annual eccentricity of our variable climate. How often " the glass" wee consulted is the course of Tuesday it would be impossible to say, and the fair sex,excusably ambitious of displaying their harming varieties of dress, were especially concerned about the atmosphere, sad mole continual reference to their masindise acquaint tares on to the probabilities of a fin Derby day. It is not too much to say that the lint impulse of most people on riming yestermy, was to draw aside the blind, to me what kind of day the morning promised. Although the air on Tuesday night had been quid • " greet suit" colder in the neighbourhood of Epsom, the Derby day opened with delicious sunshine patting everybody in the highest possible spirits, and all London awoke to its usual palpitation on the approaching festival. Nothing had been beard in the metropolis but the one abseiling topic, and the names of General Peel. Cambusoan, and Scottish Chief, were upon everybody), him and even the most indifferent of ma-smiting mu were animated by the general murmur', the uscertainty, sad the excitement of one of the most extraordinary Derbys in the records of the turf. The outer public, or uninitiated, mimed to take a kind of malinota satisfaction in the know ledge that the shrewdest and mod memos turfman were completely discomfited and puzzled. They seemed to fed for once that they were on • level with what is termed "the talent" and they gloried in the mystery which not even the most practised prophets appeared able to solve. In Loudon the preparations were immense.. Amidst other advantages of the treat holiday is, that it gives a vast impetus to every branch of trade ia the height of the season. Fur many days every kind of hireable vehicle bad been retuned, from the fashionable baronehe down to the plebeian omnibus:mid pleasure van. There was • redivietui of a nice almost extinct, and ancient post-boys were come more, in blue or scarlet jackets, revelling in the recollec tires of the almost effete mode of locomotion known as posting. In every part of London the bustle of prepara tion mold be dimmed. BIIIIVIMis was in a pleasant flutter of asticipatien, Tyhornia was peering forth use dashing tar. rages from every mews, and indeed, Lensed alley monde moostrative parties were foreleg, preparing for the journey with uproarious merriment, a general lighting up of cheap cigars, end a careful stowing away of plethoric hampers and capacious stone bottles. But it was plain that all clams were making up their Mods to enjoy themselves according to their respective Dodoes of delectation. Foe • brief inter val statesmen were forgetting their cares and party feelings, unmindful whether General Peelle& the opposition, acknow. ledgi no leader but the Scottish Chief. The country generally was sarrendiag itself to a wholesome Ultimo of excitement and merrimest, and forgetting the daily cane of ordinary life,which fall alike to the loftiest and the lowliest of the land. Even throe who were compelled to attend to the routine business cast a longing, lingering, look at the cootinoous streams of vehicles that passed through the main streets Epeotawards. Contemplating the lamentable date of other countries, the reflective mind could not bat be struck with the contrast presented by our own country, sad what an awful antithesis tomorrow's telegrams front abroad may present to the bloodless struggle of the Gene ral's"and the Chief's" upon the Downs. Vainly may the puritanical nail at the great festival—the Derby Is and will remain the vast amicable reunion of the people interested in • noble, a healthful pastime. On Tuesday some profane wretches desecrated true religion by parading the ap preaches to the Dowse with a hideous black banner inscribed with scriptural quotations in white letters. A vulgar boy dressed like an undertaker's apprentice was employed to spout the texts to the crowd, and this youth iutdmixed ribaldry with his contemptible duties. In the course of the ending these fellows retuned into the town of Epsom, white from head to heel, having been honoured with a species of indignant resentment known as "the Miller." Throughout Tuesday night Epeom could not be said to have slept ; the tradesmen were busy making their preparations, boustless yageboode traversed the streets or crouched in doorways stupidly dozing. Harsh sounds swelled on the night air, and hoarse laughs and more hideous noises only died away to be swallowed op in the general du of the Derby.d.y at daybreak. As early as six o'clock in the morning specials" were despatched from London-bridge station loaded with people, the earlier train conveying the rougher sort, the metermoogering element, the sharps, the acrobats, and " the Inevitable nigger." Up to the last available moment for reaching the Downs and witnessing the Derby these !mistime trains continued to d rive at Epsom, the apace in boot of the station being blocked up by Sys and coaches is apparently Inextricable coefusioo, and the passeogsre es they emerged were takes possession of almost Lod ly, and implored to purchase " !Meting's lirickt card," which was thrust forward by demos of dirty grimey hands. At mid-day the scenes tipos the road were at their height. At Eseniagtomgate fie toll-keeps, those lionised hmbwayseen, reaped to the full their annual harvest, and large crowds of idlers had ecogregated to witness the motley characteristics always to be observed " going to the Derby." Clapham-cosmos spin was thronged with people, and the vehicles were at Ames blocked in triple rows, and dories these waits the voyageurs indulged is t h at harmless badinage common by custom to the occasion. The democracy had a special spite apinst gentlemeo of the Duodreary type, who, bow. ever, stood the somewhat warm " ohaff with surprisiog good humour. Vulgar London somehow hates • " and they invariably come in for the most earcastk alhasioos on the road to Epsom. The effect of the scene from amain= toward, Brilliant was most extraordinary, the sound of ooreete-pistons and bugles, the banners Hying from the sins, and the light clothes of the traveller, presenting • spectacle at ones isamited end dazzling. Last year blue weak worsen anomaly but yesterday the dust rendered them highly appropriate to the occasion, and the gentlemen could their fore revel in their to,, without which so Derby " get up" is considered perfect. The Roes-hill pte at Sutton afforded a prolonged halt, and those who attempted to " run the blockade" suffered, in several instances, by damaged mode. The " Cock" clime his coal Sods as the thirsty dusty crowd literally besieged the popular hostelry, and bottled ale and lemonade hod sherry were not obtained without much persistent struggling. Still the visitors appareetly appreciated the journey, and well they might, as the Surrey lases, famous for their rural beauty, were never seen k greater advantage. The air was loaded with the delielom rt grance of May blooming and the trees were snowy white with Lloom, relieved is Fetches by the more delicate pink, Meadows were in luxuriant verdure, and the stately cbeennts rose up still in early bieemoni. There ware as meal the spills, the most severe bang near Mitcham, e Zet a t r four-in-hand was completed overturned by col lision with a van ; bat, strains to relate, oaly two of the party were at all hurt, asth ey saved then:wive' by jumping on to en embankment. The two unfortunate member, of the party received somewhat severe eats on the face, but pluckily determined to continue their pogrom ma foot. Epsom was, us usual, • scene of uproar and con fusion ; the great stream of vehicles along the London roof, almost immediately preceding the chalky narrow lanes in the direction of the Downs, appearing almost Interminable. and what with jiboing of some of the cattle and the almost total annihilation of some of the " rips," the pen to the summit of the hills was re . deiced toa funeeeal rate of progression. Before alluding to the doings on the course it may be as well to trace the ante admits of the homes de tired to take part in the great equine battle. Geoeral Peel. who had °sly run once last 1 year. was entirely disregarded by turf men, except those im mediately emaciated with him, until he we. the Two Thonmaa, very cleverly beating Perim, Fills de l'Air, and others Male best performers of last season. Thereupon he immediately became the first favourite for the Derby, • na tural oeogueam of enema in the peat race at Newmarket. Backers of hom es bad immense faith in him, owing to his being the property of Lord Glaagow,one of the most hamar able sportemea who ever extended his patronage to racing. Scottish Chief, the property of Mr. Merry, the previous owner of a Hoe of racing cracks, Chanticleer, Saunterer, Thermanby, Dundee, Blackstone, and other celebrities, has enjoyed a high reputation ; and at Arcot, on his first appear ance, he woe sorrily that ems then—eleven mouths sinoe— he Nouns first favourite for the Derby, as little as 12 to 1 being taken about him. flatesquently the horse was de feated in the July Stakes, at Newmarket, by Campiums,. aril again at Goodwood, by Pille de l'Air ; bat still duriag the winter months, such wea the faith of his (deeds that he costumed at the heed of the quotations until General Peel scared his victory is the Two Thousand, when " the Chief " gave way. At the York meeting a hostile movement was made spied him, and at one time he teemed likely to be driven to • retreat from the betting, bat there were no grounds whatever for the operations against him, and he crept back step by step to hie former mak. Mr. Merry has constantly maned that Scottish Chief ia the very beet horse he ever owned, and Mat. Dawson, the trainer, was not lees coafidest as to the extraordinary . merits of the champion of " the yellow jaaket." Carona can was unbeaten as a two.year-old, bevies won each en gagement for which be ran in a canter, when it is said be was not " prepared." and among those whom he signally defeated was Scottish Chief in the July Stakes. &bee. quietly much unpleasantness arose in connection with Gambino's, owing to lie unsatidaotory "sale" at Lord Stamford's auction. when be was repurchased, and is, II is asserted, the joi nt property of Lord Stamford and Captai n White, who • ye entered into • "confederacy: Birch Broom woe out of three races last semen, but the quality of his antagonists was of an inferior charac ter, and not calculated to attest his merits as • Derby horse. After Lord Weatmorisod's home Merry Hart woo the City and Suburban Handicap, " the Broom" steadily advanced in public estimation, and after a trial in which, in turf parlanee, he " cleared out the stable," he advanced to • place amongst the most prompeat favourites. Blair Athol had sever previously appeared in • public COD test, but being son of Stockwell and the famous Blink Bonnyß, the doable victrix of the Derby and the Oaks in and the property of Mr. W. l'Auson, famous for his Derby, Oaks, and St. Leger coups with the dem of Blair Athol and Caller On, the horse was much fancied by the public. The reports of his good looks and racing-like qualifications biomes a subject of common notoriety, bat he held each an equivocal pennies in the betting that it was thought at one period be would not even be among the manors, and at the NewonarketSpring Meeting be was driven to 50 to 1, and then were reports that he had done no work, and that the weer having been forestalled is the market intended to scratch his horse. However, the mys tery was cleared up in the coulee of Saturday , whet • =yeah was mad* to get ea this " dark "son of ell and Blink Bonny, and he was backed to win an enormous slake of money. Singularly enough, hie chief suppeffiers were Miss s. Jackson and Steel, who landed seek Image sums on General Peel, and who are en firm in their allegiance to the Northers stables John Senate lot was as usual in request, and within the :net few weeks Bareph became the more ent favourite of the Whitewall lot, although Claremont and Hollyfox had from time to time met with support sad eaeomsgement in the market. Ccaretguard represented Mr. Naylor, and enjoyed the confidence of both owner and truism, but ea it will be found on referee's to our report be low, the Macaroni colours were not destined to attain another such triumph as last year, Among the Phan supported for good money were the dark Valiant, Priam Arthur, and Paris. With this twist statement of faces connected with the an terior positions of the homes engaged, we may return to the ordinary narrative of the day's proceedinp on the Downs. As the long lines of vehicles famed to the Downs, the dust rose in dune clouds, and a sharp wind carried it over the surroaading fields, min the verdant colour* the wheat crops and the hedgerows was "slimly obliterated in a murky white. The occupants of the carriages were, by the time they reached the Grand Stand, covered with dust to such en extent that they resembled no many millers in external appearance. His Royal Highness the Prime of Wales, accompanied by Major Teemdale and suite, travelled to Epsom by road, sad reached the roam is time for the first race. The Prince was received at the Steed by Admiral Bons and Mr. Darling`, and his Royal Highness, prior to the Part proceeded to the pad dock to witness the interesting ceremony al sad dling the Derby bane. Up to mid-day the sun had shown plemently, bat the sky about ems became overact with dark clouds, tad the sir was dull and the wind cool. It would require a graphic pen to describe adequately the scene on the coarse, and it wee generally admitted that a maser mans al people bad never been winnowed ea the Downs os any previous seedvermary. "The Hill was packed with vehicles, sod the ocenmults of the carriegee in the intervals between the races proceeded to luncheon, ren dering the spot • moaner picnic. From the Downs Hotel to Tattenbam-corner stretched one dense accarouLition of people and °atrium and the Grand Stead and betting en closure were crammed, all the subindiuy stands and tem porary ermines were equally crowded, and in the avenues from the Grand Stand to the course the premise of the crowd was trim:modem, and the dust arising from the traffic was almost suffocating. As usual, the Town Plata preceded the more serious banners of the day ; but the preliminary race was treated with the same indifference as the prelude to a Chintzes pantomime on Berlin-night. Immediately after the declaims of the first event • general move was made for the saddling paddock among those who had ob. Mined tickets for that eaclosure. All the favourites attracted their special groups of admirers, the more pro - unmet in the betting of coarse being the cynosure of all ems. Those persons who did not care to have the premise of the crowd and enter the paddock, viewed from the Grand Stand through their Impetus or race (Lama, their re spective favourites saddled sad mounted, walking 'amongst the crowd. Being in the finish presented so peat change, Scottish Chief aadGmeral Peel were equal favorites at 9 MP, Birch Broom being next in demand at 11 to 2, while Cambname, who had at one time been first fairearits. declined to 7 to 1. 13 to 1 was taken each about BUS Athol and Paris, and lh to 1 apt Ely, after whom oame in rotation Cm:Vaud, Valiant, Baragah, and Ack worth. The appearance of the competitors on the course was antici pated with the usual excitement, and after much difficulty had been experienced in getting the track anything like clear sod free front danger, the preliraisary maims were commenced. Blair Athol, Niger for the fray, was the very first one to gallop, having been saddled near Mitten ham Corner. He took his " breather," led by young rAnson on Caller On, the sweeping action of the Derby home exciting general admiratioa. As the horses emerged from the paddoek they were freely ernicised, and their conditiee and style of gong made the themes of dummies. Oem human, like Blair .Athol, was lad in his work by • stable companion (Revolver), and thus the sensation horses kept up the charter to the last. It is needless to say that the coarse could not be got in redness without the apparition of " the Derby dog, who made his entree at the critical moment, and wee booted and yelled at with the usual vigour ; but the excitement was still farther increased when " twa dogs "sported themselves in front of the peed stead, indifferent alike to the machinations or ocaxiege of the police. We meat sot omit to meoticre se as iedicatkm of Lord Glasgow's popularity, that when General Peel and Strafford took their preliminary cestere a t i lr pu popular colouss ware at once identified And cheered aid • nd from the stands and by the crowds.

On landing into the straight General Peel appeared to have so much the best of it that toed thorns were vaned is favour of Lord Glasgow, bat at the distance Blair Athol, who had been riddee and sparred the whole way, got oar terms with " the Gemmel," who was pursued by Scottish Chief, and amidst a scene of excitement newer. perhaps, winnowed 01111 at Epsom. Mr. Minnie colt rushed pet the Two Theasesid winery, and won by two leagths three lengths betimes the lAA iiii:71964.- second and third.

After a derision bad bean given is favour of the Stratfords a Mrs. Susannah Bryant presented a petition for re-hearing, es the ground that further evidence had been discovered which would establish the claim of the WU kinetic family, to which she belongs. After the preemie tioe of this petition Mr. Tumor, solicitor, who had bees concerned for the Stmtforda, wrote to Mr. Browsing, a solicitor at Itedditeh, requeetieg him to inquire into the circumstances of Susannah Bryant, and to ascertain whether she was in a position to pay the costs of the petition and re-bearing.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-M&: 25. iilittimp is Betio.—(Befors Lord Chid Justice Eris, sad J ustices Will Willis, sad Bylse) 31,1111LED01 r. LATIXEIL-1111 RAIMITAPLII ILMIOT7OII. This was as action brought by Mr. Brennidp, M.P. for Barnstaple, spirt the editor and publisher of the Won= Tinto, to rearm damns. for certain alleged libels pub. liabed is that paper. Xt. Coleridge, Q.C., moved for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why an order of Mr. Justice Williams, refusing to allow the defendant to plead certain pleas, should not be rescinded or varied, sad why the de fendant should Dot be at liberty to plead the pleas. The learned counsel said that Mr. Broaridge had ben for a cm siderable number of years agent for Mr. ll•we, who, in repeated election, was the imocessful candidate to repre sent Berustaple, but at one particular election X. Bremridge stood against Mr. Hodge= and defeat= him. Afterwards Mr. Bremridge was elected again, but he ad his colleague were afterwards unseated for bribery. Following this there was an investigation under the act of parliament into the condition of the borough, conducted by Sir J. B. Wilmot and two other gentlemen, who found that Mr. Bremridge had no personal complicity is the bribery which had been carried oa. This being the state of things, Mr. Brunridge, in the autumn of last year, spin presented himself as • candidate for Banistaple, aad Mr. Latin's; published four articles, in which he detonated Mr. Bromidic as a person who had been guilty of corrupt practices for • long comae of years, sad had destroyed the purity and uprightness of s variety of persons. Mr. Brea ridge's attorney thereupon communicated with M.r. Latimer, and had one or two interviews with him, the whole scope of the conversation being an attempt to in duce Mr. Latimer to withdraw the statemeat that Mr. Brinaridge was a convicted briber end at one of the interviews an extract from the report 'of the parliamentary oommissimen, exonerating him from being personally =e moted with bribery, was read. Mr. Latimer did not feel that he could properly withdraw what he had said, because be believed that the facts were as he had stated. He tad no notice that anything was complained of except the state ment that Mr. Bremridge had been guilty of bribery but when the declaration was filed it set out omenss picked from the articles of the Western Tisia, which stated that Mr. Hodgson having been a client of Mr. Briunridge for many years, having spent 80,0001. in the borough, and having Moons poor, Mr. Bronridge had very mpatefully contested his seat, and defeated him. The pleas which Mr. Justice Williams had refused to allow justi fi ed other parts of the article than those passages which were set out in the declaration. Mr. Justice Williams said that the way in which the matter Ina put before him was this, that the plaintiff having complained of certain slanderous imputations, the plea said that the articles contain' ed other imputations which were true. tic;feriiireLThe defendant wished to sat oat the whole articles to show that they bore a certain meaning, and to anon that aocortling to this lasanins they ware tree. The Lord Chief Justice—lf it were libellous to say that the agent had turned out his principal and got the seat for himself, it would not be the lees libellous became the defendant at the same time published a trite statement that the plaintiff was an incorrigible briber. Mr. Coleridge submitted that the defendant had a right to say upon the record that the sense put epee the alleged libel we not the Mae sense, and to set out the whole libel, and prove the statement. The Lord Chief Justice—The ridesdaat bad • right to set out the whole libel, but he could only justify the allega tion of which the plaintiff complained. The impatatioe of bribery was distinct from that of the plaintiff haring broken his duty towards Isis client. . . . . . Mr. Justice Bylas—The defendant was charged with one thing, sad he sought to justify another. Mr. Coleridge repeated that he only wanted to show that the libel bore a different meaning to that suggested by the pkintiff.
