THE DERBY DAY.

Wednesday was most emphatically a bad day for both
racee—the Derby and the human. It is not often that
the Londoners' festival is spoilt by the weather. Sink
the Prink Consort with the Prince of Prussia saw the
race run in driving rain, half sleet, half snow, in 1837,
there has been no wet Derby. The very mane of the
race is arocisted in one's mind with beat and glare, lane
veils, dust, gritty fowls, and tepid alumina. ne, so that,
on the whole, the dwellers in this most changeful
climate of ours have, after all, but little reason to *an
-
plain. As with other things, however, no is it with the
weather, the present noises-les of one wet day are suffi-
cient to oblikratc a hundred sonny memories of others;
and we venture to think that it will take many lino
Derby. luite to efface the recollection of the supetia-
tivtly miserable one on Wednesday. We need hardly
say how bad it was in its weather, sad the weather made
the attendance thin and poor; and the false starts for
the great event, false starts which occupied nearly an
hour in the cold biting rain, made every one impatient
and angry, and the heavy poached state of the course
atade the pace of the race Itself slow, and as much •
trial of strength as 'red, to that, altozether, the Derby
of 1863 will only be looked back upon with pleasure by
those who stood on time winner.

The morning, however, gave no token of such seen-
nmhtild dimelmintreents. It had been wet and was
dull, with lowering clouds on the horizon, which the
delicate attentions of • north-east wind threatened to
bring 11101,1 prominently forward as the day wore on;
still it was dry though cold, and by won after 10 o'clock
the lines of vehicles of all kinds began to spinal' their
Way towards the south in their wonted numbers. There
wan, however, • far greeter preponderance of gentlemen,
clad in waterproofs and carrying stout umbrellas, than
one liken to see on these gale days; all the private terriers
were closed, the public ones were much more full mode
than out, there was an almost total absence of lady visi-
tors, there were none of those snarling little parties eram•
ming open tax eerie and acerournalating a couple of
visitors on the shafts, there were none of the open vans
that go so well till • very narrow part of the road is
reached, when they break down hopelessly, and, worse
than all, after 11 o'clock, there WY a most risible
decrease in the number of vehicles altogether. Before
12 it had begun to rain, and in these few lined& are
summed np the discomforts of the day. There is no
outdoor festivity, however attractive, there Is no party
to enjoy it. however hilarious, which can long with-
stand the influence of English rain when it hewns in a
businesslike way on • public holiday. It rained on Wed-
nesday not by fit, and starts, with fine but delusive
intervals between, but with a steady monotonous down-
pour of fine cold wet, as if the weather wag determined
to do its work slowly, but to do it welL At lira there
was a little playful badinage from the more venturesome
of the pedestrians who lined the roads near Clapham,
but even this soon ceased as the raia increased, and the
jokers and the joked came to equal terms as regarded
, miseries, and the long dull train of vehicles went
1 plashing silently on, churning the yellow gravel into a
I creamy slush, neither mud nor water, though possess-
ing all the most unpleasant attributes of each. Thus,
through Chasm and Sutton wound the long line, its
occupants either cowering under umbrellas from the
remorseless drip and plash, dl paint with vindictive
gloominess from carriage windows out upon leaden sky
and mists of driving rain. The roads were deep and
dreadfully heavy, more than the usual proportion of
horses succumbed from sheer fatigue, and now and then
• vehicle itself would conic to grief, founder, and go
down with all hands in the mud. But in these latter
man the victims escaped the relentless chaff which
always follows these annoying accidents on fine days.
There seemed to be a general and not unnatural im-
pre -n that those who were thus compelled to turn
bed, -re rather fortun.te than otherwise ; and, no
mate., what their muddy plight, everyone new at a
1 glance that it must be their own case if, when they
reached the course, they ventured to alight and walk
a doom yards from their carriages. At Epsom itself
the carriages were joined by an attenuated etrearn of
very damp pedestrians, which the Brighton and South•
Western trains kept filtering through the muddy town
and out upon the DOWIIII, Where both crowd and mud
dominated
The miserable state of affairs wan more forcibly told
here than at any other portion of the journey. Where
were the Negro melodist.", the conjurors, and tumblers?
Where the " kerrect birds," gipeies, "brushers down,"
performing monkeys, and precocious children? What
had become of the weighing-machines, the " three
throw.," and sallow vagabonds who parody the " noble
art" and batter at each other's f nes with old mouldy
glove. in hope of copper.? Where, in short, were all
the dingy bedcruins of England who travel through to
this great gathering, and somehow—sometimes honestly
—contrive to pick up money enough to tide them over
till the Cup Day at Ascot? Scarcely any were visible
on Wednesday. The ners, washed by the drizzle
into dingy half-castes, had given up the songs to which
none would listen in the rain, and, armed with wisps of
straw, did something like a busineue by wiping the
boots of those who struggled over the Downs through
great sheets of mingled clay and chalk, which made
them look like pools of whitewash. At one pert a
whole corps of acrobats, in soaked fleshings and
tarnished spangles, warn similarly engaged, though their
dream bore muddy evidence that their professional
pursuits had been tried, and tried in vain, before they
were driven to this last resource. What more need be
said than this? What could speak more forcibly of the
utter wreck of all the Derby sports, when we find a
family that should by rights be standing on their heads
in wooden platters, ignobly competing with the boot
boys, and seeking toppers for scraping the mud and
slime from the boots of any who had walked a dozen
yards? As connected with the Derby the whole
picture was painful to soe, though turning to the
course itself does not mend matters. The hill opposite
the stand is • swampy void—the course itself is thinly
indicated by • dark line of umbelles, looking like rows
of monstrou- fungi sprung from the damp. The open
stands are empty row, of dripping benches, the covered
ones are full, so very full, indeed, as to give forth quite
a little steam in the keen air, as though their occupants
were simmering gently; even the top of the Grand
Stand itself looks thin and meagre, though every
occupant holds up a spacious umbrella, large enough,
in some cases, to cover half-a-dosen. But there
is nothing doing,—abaolntely nothing. Even the
stable-boys and racing grooms who lounge about
near the Grand Strand, some of whom are known to
have Been the favourite that morning, and others who
are diatantly related to men who had friends in the
paddock last year, are of no account just now. The
first object of all arriving without shelter seems to be
to find it, and of those who bring their shelter with
them not to quit it if they can do otherwise. Corneae..
tints speaking there are no ladies., though, strange to
say, in spite of the dulness, there are an unusual num-
ber of shirtless "Welcher,." who, trusting to fortune
and a false address, are willing to give any odds against
any horse that run.. Yet no one speculates. Even in
the narrow dark winding paisages of the Grand Stand,
every peerage, room, seat, and arrangement in which is
a positive disgrace to thew who have charge of it. and
an intolerable nuisance to those who have to use it, there
is dolness,—dulnesa even in the miserable sort of half-
lighted cellar where the jockeys in their dresses—bard,
eager-looking little men, come with their saddles and
bridles to be weighed. Even in the paddock, that
repertory of equine beauty, there is not much anima-
tion. The rain has stopped, but is certain to come on
again soon, and what with what it has done to the
course and what it may farther do before the nee there
is perplexity and her abroad. Yet there is more doing
here than elsewhere, for to the paddock cone, only those
who are really interested in the horses—their owners,
trainers, and the members of the Jockey Club, and
chief bookmakers.
Early Purl, as become, his name, a among the first
to enter—a tall and very powerful firs-bitten gray—a
colour rarely leen on the Downs. Though heavy look-
ing, be is • formidable boree, and we which the fast
approaching showers of rain make more formidable with
every minute. Near him enures Hospodar, • splendid
looking black colt,—too good looking, in fact, akind of
hone more likely to deserve attentiou in the Park than
on the Epsom Downs. No one has time to bestow much
attention on him now, for all eyes turn towards the
favourite, who comes gently over the grass with • long
step, light springy tread, and heed thrown proudly tip,
eyeing the antagonists be primes with a quite disdainful
Mare a his large eyes. With a omit shining like satin,
with limbs trained down to the finest symmetry of racing
form. be looks at every point perfection —a Derby
winner. There was a notion among his opponent,' that
if there was a fault in him it was that be looked almost
too light for such a heavy course as that he had to run
over, lint the objection was regarded as almost captious.
Even now, writing after the event, we may fairly say
that amid all tie uncertainties of the turf there
were few things MOTO certain than that Lord Wien
would prove the winner. We question if his
defeat of Wednesday will much affect his posi-
tion in future races, for beyond a doebt few
finer horses have ever been seen in he paddock.
Paccharometer attached a great deal of attention, and
Tambour Major, who afterwards nearly spoilt the
whole race, showed his villainous temper at every step.
Of the winner, and @amend favourite, Macaroni, there
was but one opinion in the paddock—that the race,
barring accidents, lay between that horse and Lord
Clifden. But, while the temper of the latter was as
gentle as a lady's hack, there was • certain wild high-
bred fire visible in every movenent of Macaroni, which
showed him • horse who would stay in the race till he
died—possessed of a spirit at least which nothing could
quell, and which when a pinch came would stand his
jockey in good stead
Out of the paddock all the horses came shortly Wore
three, followed by • larger retinue of owners, trainers,
and friends than we have often seen before. Tambour
Major again shows his temper, stops, gibs, and evidently
gathers himself to throw his rider, when some others
come past at a canter and the rarer blood breaks out,
and away he goes with a long clear stride streaming
over the turf like • bird. The favourite goes down at a
gentle canter, held in easily by Fordbam' but not so
Macaroni, who, with bead turned rapidly from side to
side, breaks into • gallop and draws Challoner on to his
feet in the stirrups in his efforts to hold bim in. Ills
a long dine before they return—long enough to give
time to the cold wind to bring up the rain, which again
comes down steadily and heavily. At last they come
beck in twos and threes, some quietly—that is, for
racehorses—some at a splitting pace which nothing can
hold in. Juat at about three o'clock they muster at
the starting-post, and another of the long diseeeolot-
went& of the day commences. In vain Mr. 111.'Creorp
tried to mike • start—in vain does Wells are all his
coaxing and generalship on Tambour Maier. The horse
won't follow, won't lead, won't do anything. but stop
the ram Gas Admiral Roue devise no rule for such a
hors- as this? Start after 'tart is made, annetiines
hallway up the bill, sometimes only going • hundred
yards or so, but nothing avails. Seine of the horses are
sweating, all are fretting, and many of the impatient
weedy ones are more than half tired. The 10th start
comes, then the 310.11, then the 3thh, yet still
they are not off, and each fresh failure Is hailed
with derision and popular mockery by the crowd,
who offer to send for Mr. Reny. or to lead the
bores home for nothing if Count Batthyany will
let him go. At Lat, or the 32nd all the other bargee
get
.well together without the wicked one, which stays
&gun behind, so the flag is lowered, as it ought to have
been half an hour before, the bell rings and amid a
great shout the race commences, ties favourite leading.
It seems as if, as with The Marquis of last year, the
powers of Lord Clifden were too much relied on, for at
aloe tke desperate risk is attempted of trying to ride
down the field. In all great MON Se the public er•

or more, but which cannot ' stay,' as it is termed, over
a long course, giving place, as they fall off, to better
animals, which can with ease keep with the main body,
and still have speed enough to pass ahead at once when
their riders =LI spas them near the post. It is thews
horses, and not those which lead up the hill for • spurt,
or dOWII to the Corner, which make the exciting
races;' and it was against these that at the outset The
Msniuis wasted his strength and lost the rue last year.
So was it on this OCCSAIOU with Lord Clifilen. Either
Fordham could not hold him, or he was trying over so
heavy a course to cut dovrd the field. He kept his lead
round the Corner and into the straight with the crowd
of fiercely galloping antagonists nearly two lengths
behind him. But near the stand the bead of Macaroni
showed nearer and nearer, and the powerful frame of
Earlzi Puri began to clear itself from the ruck, with
Ea Rhone dose upon it. In 20 yards more Macaroni
c ose on Lord Clifden, and Fordlain calls upon hu,
horse with whip and spur. Oh, for a moment of the
dash and speed which kept him foremost even with the
Beet winds which could not stay ! The favourite's
game is played out. With an evident distress he makes
an effort he turns his head from side to side as his
lead diminishes on his gathering followers, and the
chesnut bead and mane of Macaroni shows clear above
but not beyond the favourite's. From 50 to 60 yards
he struggles to maintain his lead, then slackens for •
few seconds visibly, and loses by • bend. There was a
great shout as numbers 7, 15, sad 3 went up at the
post, arid Macaroni, Lord Clifden, and Rapid Rhone

An extra edition of 'Tie Net. ii:vt Herald gives the
subjoined highly important details of the struggle in
Virginia on Monday the 4th, and up to two o'clock on
Tuesday morning, the sth Instant .—Our messengers
from Hooker's army bring the details of movements on
the Rappahannock down to Monday night es relates to
to the main army, and to Tuesday morning at two
o'clock, in relation to the detachment under General
Sedgwick. The withdrawal of Hooker's advanced
columns b yond Channellorsville on Saturday evening,
and the protracted and terrific fighting of Sunday. had
left our line of battle lying on the edge of the woods
three.quarters of • mile north of Chanoelloraville, gross-
ing the main road leading to the United States Ford.
This line has been maintained since with to important
change. Monday eras a very quiet day thmtighout the
lines. There was no fighting whatever until late in the
afternoon, when Hooker advanced a division of the sth
Corps for the purpose of feeling the enemy, and
ascertaining his position. The column moved oat in
line of battle across the fields and into the woods in
the direction of Fredericksburg. Soon after our
skirmishen had entered the woods they met the
skirmishers of the enemy. driving them tool. Our
main body then pushed on, and soon found • I.rge body
of the enemy drawn up in a formidable double line of
battle on • slope facing our main position. A lorisk
action ensued, lasting half-an-hour, daring which time
the musketry lire was nearly equal to that of Sunday.
Our batteries also opened on the ascertained position of
the enemy, and they were soon compelled to fall back,
somewhat in disorder. Our troops then returued to the
main line and rested. Nothing further has been done
in that direction. General Hooker was belay through-
out Sunday night and Monday intrenebing hi* present
line, and is confident of his ability to bold it sgainst any
odds the enemy may hurl upou him. The news from
General Sedgerick's detechment is leas encouraging. It
would &emir that after the struggle of Sunday, General
Lee detached a large body of his main army to go down
and meet General fiedgeick. It is also known that
General Longstreet was rapidly getting into his rear at
that time. Early Monday morning large forces of
rebels appeared on the heights to the east of Frede-
ricksburg, which had been partially evacuated b4.bLuer

remaining made but • brief resistance, and relinquished
the position to the enemy, having that removed all
their guns. Some fighting occurred above Fredericks-
burg, the particulars of which have not been received;
but it is supposed to have been an effort to hold**
rebels from moving up to reinforce the body engaged
against Sedgwick. In this, however, we were untrue-

On Monday General Sedgwick was hotly urged
throughout the entire day, the enemy pressing lons at
all points, and cutting him up badly. His men were
obliged to give way before the overwhelming massesof the
enemy constantly, and his discomfiture seemed certain,
when the gallant Vermont Brigade made a noble charge,
repulsing the rebels in fine style, and securing the safety of
that portion of the army. The slaughter of she enemy in
this action, which occurred in close proximity to Bank's
Ford, is without parallel in the history of warfare, con-
sidering the II d tuber of men engaged. Whole
brigades of the rebels were literally wiped out, but
their force was so many time, greater than that at
the command of Genera Sedgwick, that it was impos-
sible that he could bold his position, and be therefore
concluded to extricate himself by recrossing the river.
This hazardous expedient was attempted, and .u 55-
fully earned out, between midnight and two o'clock

their artillery raking our bridges over which Sedgwick
was obliged to move his men, necessarily creating some

retreating, and baramed him incessantly. But be
succeeded in getting his force over, as above *Wed,
in wonderfully good order, and marched immediately
in the direction osthe United Statile Ford, to join the
main army under Hooker. On Monday morning, at
daybreak, the rebels obtsOned a positi,n on the hills on
the south bank of the Rappahannock, scarcely two
miles below the United States Ford, and commenced a
vigorous shelling of our trains lying posted on the north
tide of the river, close to the ford, Several men were
injured by thesis shells, and one or two killed. Some
of the shells entered a hospital on the batik of the
river, killing several of the patients, One poor fellow
was just readlne • letter from home when & shell
exploded close by him, tearing off the entire upper
portion of his . head, killing him instantly. A
panic was imminent among our teamsters, and
would have been general and disaidrons but
for the stoppage of hostilities by the enemy.
