EPSOM RAVES.

THURSDAY—AIthough Epsom, like 7nost other meetings
of note, has its " Cup Day," its importance is completely
eclipsed by the attractions of Wednesday and Friday ; it is
now, in fact, a rest day to the public between the two,
and suffers accordingly. Formerly it preceded both,
had a distinct character, and generally drew a full
attendance. Of course, on this point we are
speaking comparatively ; for, however inferior the
company was to what was gathered together on the Derby
day, and even to many Cup days, it was highly respectable
in quality and number : this may fairly be attributed to the
excellent bill of fare provided by the Stewards—as the Cup
itself possessed very little interest. The following are the
names of all the fashionables vie saw on the ground :
Marquis of Exeter, Lords Chesterfield, Stradbroke, G.
Bentinck, Villiers, and Maidstone ; Honourables General
Grosvenor, G. Anson, G. By ng, El Runs, W. Rous, W.
Fitzroy, and J. J. Villiers. Sirs—D. Baird. J. Shelley,
and G. Heathcote. Messrs. C. Greville, Hawker, Bat-
son, Newton, Thornhill, Portman, Irby, Payne, Worrell,
Hunter, Gardnor, Clive, 13ayley, C. Wilson, Foulis, &c.
With the exception of a slight shower of hail, the wea-
ther was delightfully fine and warm; the sport was excel-
lent, and by a strict attention to time, was brought to a
close before six o'clock.

Lord Lichfield's colt made the running to the turn near
the Derby starting-post, where he went very wide, Rory
O'More, Mr. Greatrex's filly, and Ruby following in the
order we have given their names ; about a mile and a quar-
ter from home Rory O'More went up to Lord Lichfield's
colt and took the lead ; having got round Tattenham
corner Ruby made an ineffectual attempt to get up, and
Rory O'More was left to run iu a winner by five lengths.
He was claimed.

THE OAKS—(This DAY.)

-s.

We took some pains to ascertain what may be expected
to start, and to a certain extent we have succeeded ; the
list, however, which we subjoin must be received with this
proviso, that nothing definite transpired with respect to
Scott's lot, which comprehends Kathleen, Mickleton Maid,
Lobelia, Appleton Lisa, and Fame. We have given
Mickleton Maid and Kathleen, but it is far from improbable
that the latter will give place to Fame or Appleton Lass.
Fulwar Craven's Deception Trenn.
Sir G. Heathcote's La Bel( zza Chapple.
Sir G. Heathcote's Carolina Buckle.
Duke of Richmond's Reel J. Day.
Earl Stradbroke's Nat.
Mr. Eddison's Kathleen Scott.
Mr. Bowes's Mickleton Maid ... H. Edwards.
Mr. Rush's sister to Pickwick Robinson.
Mr. Hessletine's The Shadow Hessletine.
Lord Lichfield's sister to llec:or Wakefield.
Mr. Wilson's Louisa Rogers.
Colonel Cranford's The Dolphin Lye.
Mr. Bell's La S.tge Femme it talked of, but is doubtful.
LATEST BETTING ON TIDE COURSE.
11 to 10 on Fulwar Craven's Deception.
7 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Mickleton Maid.
9 to 1 agst Mr. Hessletine's the Shadow.
12 to 1 a,,st Duke of Richmond's Reel.

20 to 1 agst Mr. W. Scott's Fame.
25 to 1 apt Mr. Rush's Sister to Pickwick.
Till DERBY.

Mr. Fulwer Craven, the owner of Deception, has ob-
jected to the stakes being paid over to Mr. William
Ridsdale, the owner of Bloomsbury, on the ground that
he is got by Tramp or Mulatto, as stated in the Stud-
book, and not by Mulatto alone, as given in the Calendar.
The question, we believe, stands over for the inspection of
the original document, as furnished by the breeder for the
Stud-book, and however decided will have no effect what-
ever on the bets.

EPSOM RACES.—Last evening, as a gentle-
man, named Newland, of Hatton-garden, was returning
from Epsom Races in a carriage and four, accompanied by
his friends, eight or ten in number, the leaders became
suddenly unmanageable, and commenced kicking and
plunging, when the whole four horses started off with fear-
ful rapidity, and in their course came in contact with
another four-in-hand, and immediately upset, precipitating
the whole party (ladies and gentlemen) into the road.
Before another vehicle which was passing could be stopped,
it unfortunately passed over some of the party. As soon
as the sufferers were extricated from their perilous situation
they were carried to an adjoining house, all covered with
blood, when, most providentially, a Mr. M'Cann, a surgeon,
who was returning from the races, drove up, who kindly
alighted from his carriage, and found, upon examination,
that Mr. Newland had received a concussion of the brain,
and had his leg broken, which he immediately set, and ren-
dered his assistance Lo the remainder of the party—all of
whom be found to be dreadfully injured.
A KANGAROO SPEAKER.—" A Tobacconist's
sign or the cutwater-head of the good ship Kangaroo,
would as fitly occupy the Speaker's chair and wig, as—
the Right Honourable Henry Goulburn." There is scan-
dalum magnatum for you, courteous reader; but pray—
pray, do take note of t‘n! inverted commas, and lay not the
wicked wit of these apt but ugly similitudes at our door.
We hare sins enough of our own to answer far. These
words we merely repeat, as we find them extant on the file
of that most orderly, most consistent, and most discerning
of all observers upon men and manners, the Standard.
They were uttered, indeed, ten years since, that is, on the
27th June, 1829, when Mr. Goulburn was somewhat out of
favour—though we scarcely need to say that—with our
decorous contemporary ; but this belongs to a class of re-
flections which, if true once, must be true for ever. The
addition of ten years to a Right Hon. Gentleman's age, es-
pecially after he has turned a certain corner, rarely increases
the personal agremens of the individual, however it may in
a few instances improve the wisdom and dignity of the se-
nator. Although our austere contemporary often professes
an edifying contempt for such as " eat dirt," we must play
the Fluellin to him upon this occasion, and "peseech"
him to chew a little upon his own unsavoury comparisons.
It is the more incumbent upon him to do so, after declar-
ing within these few days that the very existence of the
Parliament must depend upon its compliance with the will
of Sir Robert Peel, henceforth to conduct its deliberations
under the sign of the Kangaroo.—Morning Paper.
