THE DAY OF THE DERBY. A DITTY FOR THE DOWNS. Blame not my admiration, when I say, I love the pleasures of a Derby Day ; For pleasing is the scene which yearly crowns The verdant slopes of Epsom's far-famed Downs. The dawning of the day is ushered in With animating stir and welcome din ; And many a face with smiling glariness shows That many a breast with sporting ardour glows.

Mr. Lumley will also have charge of the re freshment rooms at the Grand Stand. The races will commence at two o'clock precisely, on Tuesday and Thursday; and at half. past two on the other great days. The Derby, as usual, will be the first race on 'Wednes day.

On Saturday, as the rejoicings in honour of her Majesty's birthday were proceeding, and while the streets of the metropolis were crowded with holiday folk, an odious attempt was made by which it was at first thought that the lives of her Majesty and her royal children had been placed in serious peril. The disgraceful outrage was committed between half-past six and seven o'clock in the evening, as her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Prince ss Royal, and the Princess Helena, was return ing from a drive in Hyde Park. They had reached the lower end of Constitution-hill, on their way to sttthlieeorndpba,%yl.tittcale:lhn: w hen n h b e (ani back ke s s s u t eo d d d a suddenly a pistol s h o t was fired at in tree,the g w a i r th b i o n f a th l e ab r o a u i r l e in r, g w s who the park. The fellow was instantly arrested by the by standers, and conducted at once to the station•house in Gardner's-lane, King-street, Westminster. The royal carriage proceeded to the palace as if nothing had occurred, her Majesty retaining throughout the most perfect composure of manner, and addressing herself to the royal children as if to calm their fears. On their arrival they were received by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who had been out on horse back, and was slightly in advance when the occur rence took place. His Royal Highness with great emotion congratulated her Majesty on the escape she had had. On the arrival of the prisoner at the station-house in Gardner's-lane, Colonel Rowan and Mr. Mayne, the Chief Commissioners of Police, were immediately sent for, and, those who saw the shot fired being also in attendance, the following additional particulars were gleaned:—The name of the prisoner is John Hamilton. He is a native of Ireland, and follows the occupation of a bricklayer's labourer. Ile has been resident in this country for five years, but states that he was born at Adare, in the county of Lime rick, and his accent and general appearance clearly prove him to be of Hibernian origin. For some time past he has resided principally at No. 3, Eccleston• place, Pimlico, in the house of a bricklayer, for whom he at one time worked. Of late, however, it appears that the employment given to him by his landlord had ceased, and that he had been almost if not entirely out of work. There was no pretence, however, for saying that he was in want. His landlord lodged him gratui tously, and the other necessaries of life were provided by the kindues of the labourers who were inmates of the same house. He was therefore living free of cost, and although he had been in debt some time ago for lodgings to the amount of -IL 10s., he had recently re duced it to 21. 10s. On Saturday morning his land lady, in arranging some things in the room where Hamilton was sitting, turned out a small pocket pistol, with an old flint lock, which her husband had had in his possession for more than seven years, and which was used by her children as a plaything. He asked her to lend it to him, as it wanted cleaning. Seeing no objection to this the woman consented, [led thereupon the prisoner sent out a little child of hers to buy a halfpennyworth of powder. Having got this, he went into the yard behind the house, and satisfied himself that the pistol would go off. Ht then put it into his pocket, and disappearing, is next seen within the railings of the park at the lower end of Constitution-hill shortly before six o'clock. There he went up to a woman, and asked what she we,- waiting for ? Just as she was about to explain, he said, "Oh, for the Queen. has she passed yet ?" She replied, "No, she has not come yet ; but if you wait a little you will see her," or words to that effect. She had hardly finished the sentence when the outriders of the Royal cortege appeared in sight, and she ex claimed, "Here she comes." The prisoner answered " All right," and immediately pulled from his breast a small pistol, which he levelled and fired at the carriage in which her Majesty and the Royal children were seated. His aim is supposed to have been taken in a slanting direction, the carriage being rather past him when the discharge took place. Every effort has been made by the police to discover whether the pistol was loaded with a missile of any kind, but their search has been fruitless, and there is no mark on the carriage or elsewhere to indicate its course. Had the weapon been charged with lead or any substitute, the whistle of it past the carriage would have at once been noticed, and the report of fire-arms properly loaded is quite different from the discharge of gunpowder only. General Wemyss gave decisive evidence on this point. One witness, who was standing outside the railing close to the prisoner, states that his face was scorched by the discharge, and he exhibits a slight mark on his cheek to make good the assertion. The weapon gave a loud report, a circumstance not to be wcdered at, as it is ascer tained that he used the bowl of a tobacco-pipe i as his powder-measure in.-charging it. There were crowds of people collected along the drive, and on the sound of fire-arms being heard, an instantaneous rush was made to the spot whence it proceeded. One of the parkkeepers claims the merit of having arrested the prisoner, but General Wemyss, who was one of the Equerries in Waiting, and who acted with great judgment in the emergency, declares that Hamilton was first seized by a person dressed in a brown cloth coat. This person did not present himself at the station•house in Gardner's-lane. The prisoner offered no resistance, nor did he even attempt to escape, and so bunglingly did he manage, that in returning the pistol to the pocket in his flan nel jacket the handle of it stuck fast. The park. keeper and constables who took him in charge had some difficulty in rescuing him from the vengeance of the excited crowd which soon formed around him. On his way to the station-house, whither he was conveyed in a cab, he is said to have stated that he was driven to the commission of the act by poverty, and that he had no accomplices. The exact evidence given at the station-house by the witnesses who were examined has been kept a secret, the representatives of the press having been excluded. The preceding statement, however, may be relied on as an accurate summary of the facts educed. The prisoner is rather under than above the middle height, is stoutly built, and presents no appearance of emaciation. His ex pression of face and general manner indicate a sullen, sulky disposition, and it was with great reluctance that he gave his name, address, and origin. He wore a dirty flannel jacket, old corduroy trousers, and had on his head a greasy cap. In his pockets were found the bowl of a pipe, a small quantity of powder, and a few halfpence. There was nothing about him to indicate insanity, and he seemed to have the perfect use of his faculties, such as they were. The charge against him was entered by General Wemyss, who was in attendance. He remained on Saturday night locked up in the station-house. While these events were taking place in the neigh bourhood of the Palace the heads of her Majesty's Ministry were entertaining select parties of friends in honour of the Royal birthday. Suddenly they re ceived the startling information of what had occurred. Sir G. Grey and Lord J. Russell proceeded to inquire for her Majesty's health, and to take such steps as prudence might under the circumstances, suggest. It was accordingly determined that a court should be held yesterday at the Home-office for the purpose of having the evidence already taken brought under the consideration of the Attorney-General, and with the view of specially determining whether the prisoner ought to be proceeded against for high treason, or under the less formidable but not less stringent Act introduced by Sir Robert Peel to meet cases of which the attempts of Oxford and Bean were examples, and which there are the strongest groundsforßefore, however, proceeding to state the is result think ing will apply to the present instance_ t also. o o f what took place at the conference, it h'ch the knowledge .:-)f rightrult sometale notice of the enthusiasm w such an outrage created throughout the vast popula tion of the metropolis. In the n ei g hbourhood of the "Long live the Queen" were repeatedly raised great clubs cries of than one effort was made the grand mall of to get up the National,and In all the theatres it was called i n n o g b u i i r t e y f i o n r St. James's-park. m A o ri r t e h em in h to e numbers hastened to the great for and received with acclamatiroani.acell her Majesty's health , a nd a lto g ether the ro utine of a royal bi r thday received a vast and visible sti mu l us fromthe impulse of public sympathy. r es terday, at two o'clock, Sir G. Grey, the Attor ney-General, Mr. Hall, the now -street magistrate, and the Commissioners of Police assembled at the Home-office for the purpose already stated. The wit nesses who had been examined on the previous day were in attendance, but only a few of them were examined. The Attorney-General conducted the examination in the presence of the prisoner, who betrayed the same sulky, sullen tem per, as on the previous day, and preserved throughout the proceedings an obstinate silence. The depositions taken on Saturday were also read, and the Court proceeded to consider which of the two courses open to the Crown should be adopted. The result was that the prisoner, being unable to enter into recognizances, was committed to Newgate for a misdemeanour, under the sth and 6th of Victoria, c. 51, for " firing at her Majesty, with intent to alarm," &c., and will be tried at the Old Bailey sessions in June. This dceisivu WPS founded the ground ttertain any feeling towards her Majesty, that he had no pikes, that he had not communicated to any ,hat he was about to do, and that the pistol was ,ot loaded ; but there certainly are two circum inces which furnish some ground for suspecting is conclusion. The first of these is the evidence of a c stable of th e B di vision, who stated his confidant b ' f that th e pr i soner was in the habit of attending cl il a low Chartist club in Pimlico. The second is an observation dropped by the prisoner himself to the in spector who was in charge of him yesterday morning. It was to the effect that he had been confined in Paris, for having taken part in the insurrection of June, and that the cells there were not nearly so clean as that in which he then was. Evidence was also adduced to show that he had worked on the Bel gium and Nantes Railway, and that he went over to France at the time of Prince Louis Napoleon's escape from Ilam. This statement, if correct, and combined with the preceding facts, would certainly go a certain way to support the suspicion that his motives for the deed which he committed were political rather than personal. Such, however, has not been the decision of those best able to judge, and their chief concern is, therefore, directed to check in the bud, and by the most effectual m eans , t h e b ane f u l i nfluence of such disgusting acts, which, operating upon the thirst for notoriety, or the desire for a comfortable retirement on State pay, have an obvious tendency to repeat themselves and become contagious. As illustrative of this, it is worthy of notice that Hamilton took his stand within less than 100 yards of the spot where Ox ford committed a similar offence. Ile has, however, miscalculated considerably if he fancies that he is to receive a similar penalty. By the course adopted the ceremony of an examination before the magis trate in the usual mode is entirely omitted, and this unlucky Irishman will find that instead of being well fed, well clothed, and well housed for the rest of his life, he has subjected himself to the certain pros pect of hard labour in the House of Correction, and to public appearances that are not at all likely to foster a passion fur notoriety, viz , the first at the bar of the Old Bailey, the rest at the cart tail. The following detailed report of what took place at the Home-office yesterday we give without vouching for its perfect accuracy : At two o'clock yesterday afternoon Sir G. Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Mr. Waddington, the Under-Secretary, the Attorney-Gene ral, and Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, attended by Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk at Bow -street Police-court, met in the deputation-room, where a Court was formed. The prisoner was brought in by Mr. May, the super intendent of the A division, and Inspector Otway, and was formally charged with having, OR the 19th of May, en Constitution -hill, St. James's-park, presented and fired a pistol at her Majesty the Queen. • Although the inquiry was conducted by the above named gentlemen, several members of the Government were present at various periods of the examination, amongst whom were Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. W. G. Grey, M.P., the Pri vate Secretary to Lord John Russell. Daniel O'Keefe was the first witness called. The ATTORNEY• GENERAL --W here do you reside? Witness --At No. 4, Eccleston•place, Belgrave-road, Pimlico. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Do you know the pri soner, Hamilton? Witness—l do. The ATTORNEY •GENERAL—HOW long have you known him? Witness—From four to five years. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —What was be? Witness —lie came over here from Ireland as a bricklayer's la oourer. The ATTOREY- GENERAL —And followed the same business?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Has he lodged with you luring the whole period you mentioned, from tour to rive years? Witness.—No. He left once to go to France? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —When was that? Wit aess.—Two seasons ago —two years last summer. The ATTORNEY GENERAL —When did he come back? Witness.—ln the month of November, in the same year is he left. Mr. HALL.—Where did he lodge when h e r e t urne d? Witness.—With me, b u t h e was out of work, and he , !entracted a debt, and I in consequence sent him to a friend of mine, named Chambers, residing at Bow, in order that he might get employment, and pay me acme thing off of what he owed me. Did be pay you anything? Witness.—l %rote a let ter to him and told him that I had burned my leg and was in great want of money, when he came on the Sa turday night, and brought me a sovereign. He came again after that, and brought me 10s. more, but I could not get anything else from him through that season. The COURT.—What else transpired? Witness.—l summoned him and put him to all the expense I could, except issuing an execution. He came at that time Tom Bow, and called upon an acquaintance in the neighbourhood for the purpose, as I ascertained, of being taken, so that he might get a billet for the winter season in prison. The COURT—What else do you know? Witness— When opportunity came I got him about two months' work at a wheelwright's. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—H OW did you first come to know him? Witness—l knew him from his coming ;row the same place as I did. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I S that your property ? (The pistol which the prisoner fired at her Majesty was here produced ; it was a very old. small brass aarrel instrument with a flint lock.) Wi:ness—Yes, 3 is. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL—Have you anything elge to say ? Witness—No ; I cannot recollect anything wore. The witness was then ordered out of the court. Bridget O'Keefe, wife of the last witness, was next Jailed and sworn, when The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (showing the pistol)—Do you know that? Witness—l do. The COURT—What do you know respecting it ? Wit ness—On Saturday last I was going out into the garden when I saw Mr. Ilaroilton at the bench, when be said ho was making.a pistol, and was going to fire a shot or two. He then showed me a kind of spout which he had tastenucl to a piece of wood. I spoke to him about it, when he said, " Why, Dan has got an old pistol, lend me it:" The CounT—Did you do so? Witness—Yes; I went to my bedroom and gave it to him at the window. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL— W hat did he then say? Witness—He looked at it, and said "It is very rusty." The COURT— Did you make any remark? Witness— I said, " Yes it is. It is of no account." The ATTORNEY -GENERAL—Did you see him do any thing with the pistol after that? Witness—l did not, but I afterwards heard him fire the pistol :about three times in the garden. The ATTORNEY• GENERAL —DO you know whether he was in or out of work? Witness—l have not known nim to have more than seven weeks' work since Christ mas last. The CornT—ThQn how did he live? Witness—A young woman who lives with me, who is in the milk line, serves a great many persons and collects a deal of broken victuals, and between the two of us we managed to keep him. The COURT—What else do you know? Witness-- Nothing more. Edward O'Keefe was next called and examined. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yon are the son of the last witness, I believe ; how old are you? Witness — Eleven years next birthay. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—TeII us what the prisoner Hamilton asked you to do for him. Witness—On Saturday last he asked me to fetch him a ha'p'orth of powder. The COURT—Did you do so? Witness—Yes; I went toasp of a in E lizwaboemtha-ns,trweheitch she said and bought a notthebeat ha'p'orth of gunpowder sort of powder. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—What time WAS that ? Witness—About a quarter to three. The COURT—Did he say anything particular to YOU after that? Witness—He asked me if I had ever had squibs or crackers, when I said yes, and added that they could be got at the next shop. The COURT—Did he say anything else ? Witness He said he wanted a ha'p'orth, as ho wanted to have bit of fun, and cuuld make them fire through the trees in the air. The witness produced a piece of wood, roughly cut in the form of a pistol stock, on which was tied to all ap oilidamiroontonorontinsaktuetrtdlea.y l H as e t said a thatnc e he purchasedh e esp,)ut of s o t t m o e f for one penny, and turning round to the prisoner and offering him a penny, said, " Here, Air. Hamilton, I can pay you the penny now, for I did not have one on Saturday.' The COURT—When did he go out? Witness—Shortly afterwards, and I wanted to go with hies, but he sad "No, you must stop at home." The prisoner was asked, as he had been at the eon elusion of the examination of the previous witnesses, whether he had any questions to ask, and replied " No, nothing." , Mr. - I r tenwick dep ose d t h at b e was i n t h e serv i ce o f her Majesty, and about twenty minutes past six o'clock, as the royal car r i age , w hi c h was an open l an d au, was returning to Buckingham Palace, and when it l:ad reached better than midway down Constitution-hill, Ira heard the report o f a pi s t o l, an d at th e same i nstant h e e Majesty stood up and said, "Renwick, what is that?" Witness replied, " Your M a j es ty h as b een s h ot a t." H e r Majesty made no reply, but resumed her seat. Her Majesty did not appear to be in any way alarmed. Mr. Fitzgerald, the second attendant on her Majesty, gave similar evidence. George Moulder, park-keeper, No. I, deposed that he was on duty in the Green Park, and was standing within twelve yards of the prisoner. Just as the royal carriage had passed the spot where he was standing, he saw the prisoner move his right hand from his breast, and the action was immediately followed by a loud report. Witness observed a considerable body of smoke. He instantly ran up to the prisoner and seized hold of him by the right arm and collar, at the same time he called to a person who was standing on the other side of the prisoner to seize him, as he (witness) thought the prisoner bad other firearms in his possession. The person to whom ho applied seemed to be alarmedr and did not assist. The prisoner during this time made no attempt to get away. He said something, but what were the words he could not say.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE 'SUN SlR,—The second spring meeting at Newmarket, has passed away without having thrown much light on the " crack race" of the year; the Rowley Mile Plate, which in days of yore produced favourites for the Derby, and in one instance the winner, was this year won in a can ter by Colonel Peel's Vasa, a horse not within a stone of Tadmor, beating Abd-el-liader (2d), Dolly Varden (3d), lenalvon (4th), General Sale, Carbuncle, First Chance, St. Denis, Nina, Tiresome, Newport, and Fleece. This race, directly or indirectly, annihilates the chances, for the struggle of Wednesday next, of Abd-el Kader, all Exeter's lot, General Sale, First Chance, Rochester, Landgrave, Flambeau's dam colt, Tiresome, Honeycomb, Osterley, Newport, Vatican, and several others of inferior note. .As I anticipated, Essedarius and Legerdemain were in the front for the Suffolk Stakes, the former being first and the latter fourth; Legerdemain would have been second had she not lost a great deal of ground by taking a very wide sweep at the turn into the Bunbury Mile. It is now four years since I made my debut in the columns of The Sun as " sporting counsel" to your readers, during which time I have experienced an amount of success far exceeding my anticipations, par ticularly so, on the great race of the year, so soon to be decided for the 70th time on the Downs of Epson. My first essay on the Derby was in 1845, when I pulled through with Forth's outsider, The Merry Monarch, and Pantasa, the former being placed first and the latter fourth. My second prognostication, in 1846, was in favour of that stout son of Epirus and Fortress, Pyrrhus the First, who defeated Bill Scott on Sir Tatton Sykes by a neck. My third essay, in 1847, when I stood on Day's couple, Cossack and Conyngham, came off tri umphantly in favour of the former, the latter running in seventh. My fourth essay, last year, with Surplice and Springy Jack, was equally successful, my especial fa vourite Elastic John running " the crack" to a short neck! And now, I trust, my fifth attempt may surpass the others, and enable me to place the leading trio for one of the heaviest betting races on record. The Epsom Carnival commences at two o'clock on Tuesday with the Craven Stakes, to close and name this day. For the Woodcote Stakes about eight will run, to be selected from the following:—Ballet Girl, Countess filly, Lampoon filly, Michael Brunton, The Swede, Countess, The Secret, Le Beau, and Casteriere, or Valentine. I presume The Swede sad Michael Brunton will show the rest the way home, Lampoon filly and Countess being third and fourth. A Match for 200 sous between Mr. E. R. Clarke's Old Commodore, Bst 71b, and Mr. Ford's Eunuch, Bst 41b, will end io favour of the former. On Wednesday, the far-lamed " Derby Day," business will commence at half past two with the Derby Stakes, of 50 hors, each, h ft, for which a field of from 18 to 23 will run, to be picked from the following.—Tadmor, Flying Dutchman, Elthiron, Nunnykirk, Chantrey, *Henry of Exeter, The Knout, Vanguard, *Uriel. *Sir Launcelot, Old Dan Tucker, *Langton, Chatterer, Hot spur, Vatican, •Glenlyon, Due de Brabant, Thibault, I )rakelow, *Glenalvon, Landgrave, *Souvenance colt, * Lepidus, Montague, John Bull, *Sauter le Coupe, Abd el-Rader, Flambeau's dam colt, Honeycomb, The Old Fox, *Woolwich, *ldle Boy, Westow, and one of Sir G. Eleathcote's, Normanton, or Brother to Campanero. The most dubious as to starting I have asterisked. Tadmor, by lon, out of Palmyra, "reared in an in stant" from the rank of an " illustrious obscure" to that of a prominent favourite for the Derby by his easy defeat of Honeycomb (2d), Belus (3d), Canada filly, Rochester, Vanguard, and Jelly Fish, for the Ham Stakes at Goodwood, is every inch a Derby horse, hav ing great power, fine easy action, and a long sweeping stride, what is more, he can mount the bill at Newmar ket at a rattling pace with ease, and so far as I can judge, is a shade better than any other horse of his year, tor the peculiar course at Epsom ; if the new Derby course was flat, I should at once without any more ado, give the race to The Flying Dutchman, but the hill —the hill, the stumbling block to many a trial—alters the case materially. The unbeaten son of lon, having defated Honeycomb, upon whom they laid 3 to 1, for the Ham Stakes, he was immediately introduced into the Derby market at 20 to 1, at which price he was freely supported. At New market in the F.O.M. he walked over for the Bucken ham Stakes; same meeting, won the First Triennial Stakes, without an effort, beating the Highland Fling (second), Elthiron (third), Goodwood, Do-the-Boys, Fleece, Nina, Bon-Bon, Traitress, Mecca colt, Cacus, Hotspur, Paquita, Herbert, Letitia, Memento, Fire King, and Rhuabon ; he also won a Sweepstakes, value 200 soy., in a common canter by two lengths, beating Sobraon (second), and His Excellency (third). In the S. 0. M. he received 275 sovs. forfeit in a Pro duce Match, from Lord Glasgow's six nominations; and walked over for a Post Sweepstakes value 300 sort. This year he has only started once, for the Column Stakes, when he won with most ridiculous ease, beating Grace, Bst lib (second), and Angela, 7st 13Ib (third); he has since been backed at as little as 5 to 1, and from the confidence placed in him by his friends, which " Each putter on at five to one, will bring us Good warrant of." They (myself included) consider that he ought and will " Just clear the post, A neck, before his swift antagonist." The Flying Dutchman, by Bay Middleton out of Barbelle, is a remarkably swift horse, probably the fastest of this year, and for a mile without au equal ; his public running last year was first rate, winning all his races very easily; he came into the market at Ascot at 25 to 1, and after winning the July Stakes became first favourite, which position he has retained ever since. He won the July Stakes, by a length, beating Qui nine (second), the Jester (third), Turban, Touchy, Ca nadian, Francesca, and Oqui. , tos. Same meeting, won a sweepstakes value 400 sovs. in a canter, beating Cracow (second), and Chicot (third). At Liverpool, won a Sweepstakes value 1,2001., beat ing Esralade (second), Canada filly (third), and Snow storm (fourth). At Doncaster, won the Champagne Stakes, in a canter, beating Ellen Middleton (2d), Cigarette (3d), Raillery (4th), and Imperatrix (last) ; also at the same meeting, won the Two Year Old Stakes, beating Garrick (2d), Velox (3d), and Raby (last). Nunnykirk, by Touchstone out of Beeswing, is the best bred horse in the race ; he has only appeared in public twice ; in the Craven Meeting, he won a sweep stakes value 930 sovs. cleverly by a length, beating Fire King. Sir Launcelot, and the Velveteen colt ; and in the First Spring Meeting, he won the 2.000 Guineas Stakes, Rowley Mile, in 1 min. 49 secs. by half a length cleverly, beating Honeycomb (2d), Vatican (3d), Index (4th), Garrick, Fire King, Do the Boys, and Oqu4tos. Elthiron and Vanguard have both much improved on their last year's form, are doing good work, and will be very forward in the race. Old Dan Tucker is to have Sim. Terapleman up ; he will finish in the van of the ruck. The monster importation from Ireland, yclept The Chatterer, is to have the assistance of Alfred Day ; if size can accomplish any thing he'll do it, considering be stands sixteen hands and a half, but I'm thinking he'll find the pace severe enough to settle his pretensions. The van of the ruck will, I opine, consist of Elthiron, Vanguard, Old Dan Tucker, John Bull, The Knout, and The Old Fox ; and in the rear will bo found Chatterer, Vatican, Drakelow, Chantrey, Hotspur, Landgrave, Montague, Westow, Honeycomb, and any other . that may start, the before•mentioned alone excepted; opinion of this rear lot is so poor, that ifarlybut from , win, I'll not perpetrate the Bunbury dinner feat, "I'll break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, And deeper than did ever plummet sound, I'll drown my book." In conclusion, I see no reason why I should ne alter my prediction as expressed some e i g ht months g; there fore to Tadmor or The Flying Dutchman I shall look for ' the winner of the Derby ! taking Nunnykirk for a cockboat, and placing them thus:— TA DAMN (Rogers or Nat) 1 TIIE FLYING DUTCHMAN... (Marlow) 2 NUNNYKIRK ...(F.Butler) 3 Elthiron (Prince), Old Dan Tucker (Templeman), and Vanguard (Holmes), well up! On Tuesday I shall finish my review of the Epsom meet i ng , with the latest "moves" on the Derby, the an ticipated fate of the Grand Stand Plate, and Oaks, and
