THE " DERBY" PROPHETS.

" Argue" of the Pod says this morniog that for
him to sum up in favour of myth* bat the Margie sem
to be impossible, " for he is the unbeaten hone of the race.
The others have been beaten at times, and woe in their
ken, sad r throughout his career they have never found a
hoses to pt before him yet, so 1 do not think they will find
or now. I must, therefore, name with great confidence
the MARQUIS as the winner on Wednesday of this great
Derby, and next to him I think there will be Borrow.
Reiland, and Lord Clisagow's crack. For a cockboat, I shall '
take Harlequin."
" Nemo," of the Advertiser, improve on all who have
favoured him by the adoption of his views from the own-
moseemout of the sesace, to " stand by me like men, and
turn a deaf ear to all the foolish, nay, absurd, arguments
advanced spier my loageelectod BucKsroxia, who is so
much superior to Investment (Vest colt), that nothing but
the lips of Judge Clark will convince me that I have in the
least overrated his capabilities, or failed to spin name the
winner of the Derby."
" Hotspur," another prophet, believes the following to
have the paramount chances ill the struggle for the front
net :—ThD MARQUIS (1), Neptune, Argonaut. &gaud.

The attention of mambas was thinly taken up with usual
com " cm the Derby, and when that very necessary
operation been coecluded speonlation on the grand
events at Epsom commenced. The Marqwa stood his pound
Is firmly as ever, the longest price,Cbtainable about him
being 100 to 30. Bmkstono, on the contrary, evinced signs
c 4 retrogreosion. 7 to 1 having been laid against him
towards the close, however, he improved his position, and
settled down at 8 to 1 (offered); NopMens, who had been nip-
I ported in the City as 14 to 1, " emu" with such a nth at
the Corner that after having had heaps of mosey entrusted
to him he left off at 9to 1 (offered). Zetkad had many
Meads at 13 to 1 (taken in one bet to 20011 ; and Caterer
was also in force at the mme price. Ensign was seemly so
firm, while Argoaant advanced to 20 to 1 (offered). There
was some betting oe the Oaks, Hurricane and Sappho being
supported for most mousy. Subjoined are She closing

Them was a fair attemisame at the City rendezvous this
day, but comparing an the Derby sad the settling over the
week lost pest oesma*d a mesiderable portion of the after-
noon, and spssalatioa ft the great event of the coming
week was scarcel&rsglanimated as might have been ex-
pected. For the , The Marquis, Caterer, Ensign, and
Neptune were most force, whilst Suckstone, ?Attend,
the Stockwell colt, sad Argonaut were very unsteady,
offers to lay spies; each being frequent. A good deal of
*ft-betting, however, was effected during the afternoon.
For the Oaks, Q.E.D. appeared most in demand, the next
in request being Hurrimme and Sappho • the remainder in
the list of quotations having been supported only to small
amounts.

LATEST WEST-END BETTING.

---
There was a wiry large &Mealtime at the usual place, and
besides actual speculators a very miscellaneous muster of
idlers desirous of learning the latest moves on the all-ab-
sorbing event. The betting upon the Derby in one instance
created a profound sensation, for Caterer' the second in the
Two Thousand, and who has since been backed for heavy
sums, was seat to the right about, 50 to 1 being offered
spent him at the close, owing to a report generally en-
' &tad that he had broken down. On Monday last, it will be
remembered, he was driven to an outside price, but
speedily recovered. Last night, however, his ease seemed
irretrievable, for on returning to the City almost any price
might have been obtained, and two or three well-known
commissioners would have laid any odds if they could have
found any backer sufficiently courageous to come to the
rescue. The Marquis was still firm, 10 to 3 being taken
about him, while 6to 1 was freely !accepted about Buck-
stone. Neptune' was also in good demand at 9to 1, but
neither the Stockwell colt nor Zetland was so firm as
could have been desired by their adherents. Closing
