SPURTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S-YESTERDL Y.
THE DERBY.

The betting-room was crowded to excess, but judging from
the comparatively small amount laid out, we should say that
the near approach of the races does not add to its interest.
Several horses were talked of, and but only Rattrap, Winto-
nian, and Achmet, backed for large sums. The first opened
at 4 to 1, which was taken to nearly a hundred pounds, and
afterwa ds offered for some time ; his friends then rallied,
closed with the offers, and restored him to the same pogition
in which our last account left him. Ono bet of 1,200 to 200
was taken about Mango, but 6 to 1 was currently offered
throughout the afternoon, and no great disposition shown tc;
back him. A point more was taken three or four times about
Caravan, and 9to 1 freely about Wintonian. Achmet's party
laid out three or four hundred pounds at 11 to 1, but nothing
was done about Hybiscus. Mickle Fell, Phosphorus, Be-
nedict, and Wisdom were on the decline. Sambo and Jereed
on the retired list, and Defender, after frequently raising and
disappointing the hopes of his anxious backers, received his
death-blow. The betting terminated at P late hour as fol-
lows :
