EPSOM RACES
TUESDAY.__

The Summer Meeting commenced yesterday with very in-
viting weather, and there being a similar series of engage-
ments to that which filled Mr. Dorir.g's " broad sheet" of
last year, it may be calculated that the sport, unless the
Plates should be less abundant in heats than usual, will be
terminated not very far from twilight on Friday evening
next. With respect to the importance of this meeting to the
racing community, at any rate, there can scarcely be two
opinions. Every one must allow it still stands preeminent
over all other great racing assemblages, chiefly and perhaps
solely, in consequence of the universal interest excited by the
great events of the week—the Derby and the Oaks.
The programme of yesterday's racing exhibited no very
marked feature, scarcely any in fact to stimulate the public
appetite, or to attract more than the passing attention of the
betting men. This, we conceive, may be attributed to an
iniudicious arrangement of the stakes. Had the Grand Stand
Handicap been included in the first day's amusement, it
would have "told" with the majority, and, as a consequence,
the attendance would have been more numerous, and specu-
lation would have taken a wider range; but coming off as it
does on Thursday, when the minds of betting men are
distracted by the one great event that has just
been decided, and by the other almost on the eve of
being so, and when, moreover, the pure votaries of pleasure
are recruiting themselves from a day of excitement and
fatigue, we do not think we are asserting too much in saying
that the money so liberally granted in the shape of a bonus
is comparatively thrown away ; and that the strength of the
" off " days, such as Tuesday and Thursday are, ought to be
thrown into the former, in order to make a good solid com-
mencement. Enough, however, of mere matter of opinion.
The sport afforded yesterday was upon the whole up to
" par, and, touching the Woodcote Stakes, was vastly
superior to any opening day on record, an entry
of 31 horses having produced 15 starters; none
of them, however, possessing such superior public
pretensions as to mar the betting. The same can be said of
the characters of the competitors for the Craven Stakes, a
more ordinary lot than which could scarcely be seen in a
race, which heretofore used to be witnessed with interest.
With reference to transit from Landon to the course to-mor-
row (Wednesday), we advise these who start from London-
bridge by train direct to Epsom, to book themselves by the
early express trains, for we are confident that the
later trains, and particularly the ordinary ones,
whether early or late, will, on account of the cheapness of
their third-class carriages (3s. there and back), be incon-
veniently crowded, to predict nothing worse of them.
The route by Nine Elms, though longer and dearer,
may be found in the end shorter and cheaper. In
terminating our notice of this first day's proceedings,
we have merely to add, that the "select " more than
averaged their usual numbers, and amongst them we observed
the Duke of Richmond and the Ladies Lennox, Duke of Rut-
land, Marquis Exeter, Earls of Chesterfield, March, Granville,
Strathmore; Lords Maidstone, G. Manners, H. Lennox,
Burghley, B. Cecil, C. Fitzroy, Suffield, G. Lennox, G. Ben-
thick, W. Powlett, E. Russell; Count Batthyany ; Sirs C.
Cockerill, W. W. Wynn, G. Heathcote •' Honourable H.
Rous, G. Byng, Colonel Anson, H. Pitt, F. Villiers, H. For-
rester; General Charrittee ; Colonels Knox and Peel; Messrs.
Greville, Payne, Shelley, Nevin, Fitzroy, Jaques, Bowes,
Delme Ratcliffe, Graham, S. Stanley, J. Stanley, Batson, &c.
In the afternoon an unfavourable change in the weather
took place, and the wind shitted from south-west to almost
the opposite quarter, and was accompanied with somewhat cold
but not very heavy rain, which continued to the close of
the racing at half-past five. Having on a former occasion
spoken of the arrangements of the meeting, we have only
to observe here that they were satisfactorily carried out,
with one exception, viz., the time of starting, which was
very badly kept. The racing commenced with—
The Craven Stakes of 10 soya. each ; for three yrs old 6st
81b ; four, Bst 101 b ; five, 9st 41b ; six and aged, 9st 101 b.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Ventilation Office, House of Commons,
May 18. 1847.
Stn,—An extract from the Observer having been
copied into your paper, according to which an impres-
sion is conveyed that I stated recently, at a lecture given
by me at Willis's Rooms, that I was to commence an
action against her Majesty's Ministry, allow me to state
that I never used such words, nor any expressions that
could be construed into such a meaning ; what I did say
was, that Dr. Faraday having attributed to Mr. Barry
the invention of plans which it is considered he never
would have adverted to in the terms he used had he
previously heard my side of the question as well as Mr.
Barry's, I deemed it my duty to the cause I have ad-
vocated at the Houses of Parliament to reply to Dr.
Faraday, particularly from the nature of the communi-
cations at present in progress between her Majesty's
Government and myself. As to the nature of these, not
one word was said, though I certainly stated the great
injustice done to me by three referees, viz. :—Mr. Philip
Bardwicke, Mr. George Stephenson, and Professor
Thomas Graham, whom I challenge to meet me before
any proper tribunal, to show cause why they retain a
document which, when produced, will show that I was
deprived of the ventilation of the House of Peers in
consequence of an address to the Crown, moved on the
consideration of a report which was founded on evidence
not consistent with the facts of the case.

Betting— 10 to 6 agst Crozier, 4 to 1 agst Spider, 5 to 1
agst New Era, and sto 1 agst Wintonia. New Era took the
lead at starting, and, with Spider, Wintonia, and Bedlam in
attendance, made play to the distance ; it was then taken up
by Spider, who carried it on to the stand; Crozier, who laid
off in the commencement of the race, and did not get through
his horses until round the turn, here went up, headed him
in a few strides, and won cleverly by a length. The same
distance between the second and third. Run in 2 min.

The Woodcote Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 100 aided, for

SALE OF THE METROPOLIS ROADS. •-•••• Yesterday
the annual sale by auction of the metropolis roads, north of
the Thames, took place before the Commissioners of Turnpike
Roads, at their office, No. 2, Whitehall-place, the Earl of
Lonsdale in the chair, when there was a full attendance of
lessees, from all parts of the country. They were to be let
from the let of July next, for the term of one year, subject
to such conditions as the Commissioners produced at the
meeting, one month being paid in advance of the rent of each
lot, as a deposit. The following are the prices which the
several lots fetched :—The Tyburn and Uxbridge-roads, put
up at 8,5101., were sold for .8,550/. ; the Kilburn and Edg•
ware-roads, offered at 3,2631. 17e. 6d., bought for 3,273/.
179. 6d.
,
; the Highgate and Hampstead-roads knocked down
for 17,5401. the sum asked was 17,5301., and one bar to be
taken off; the City-road, the price demanded 3,0501., disposed
of for 3,060/. ; the Hackney and Lea-bridge-roads purchased
for 5,7201., and 5,7101. was the sum named by the Commis-
sioners. The following were among the lots, but there was
no offer for them :.....The Kensington, Brentford, and Isleworth
roads, 16,1701., being the Commissioners' price ; the Stam-
ford-hill, upper and lower division, the Green Lanes and
Seven Sisters- roads, the sum proposed for them being 10,2001.;
and
the Harrow-roads, the tolls of which the Noble Chairman
said, in consequence of certain circumstances which had
come under the notice of the Commissioners, would be re-
duced one-half, and which were valued at 1,1101.' The lots
were bought by Mr. Levy, and there was competition but for
one of them.

The following also started but were not placed
Bateman's Bacchanalian, Count Batthyany's Eg-remont, Sir
C. Cockerill's Brother to Auckland, Mr. Death's The Moor,
Mr. Francis's Little Red Riding Hood, Mr. Godwin's

Betting-6 to 4 agst Flatcatcher, 7 to 2 apt Dovor, 7 to
2 agst Woodcraft, 6 to 1 agst Daughter of Toscar, and 8 to
1 agst Dinedor. This was one of the hollowest races ever
seen. The start a good one, all getting well off, but, in an
instant, Awkward and Flatcatcher singled themselves out,
and ran in company for about 300 yards. Flatcatcher then
took a decided lead, went right away from his horses, and
won in the commonest of canters, by three lengths; Wood-
craft second, beating Dovor by two lengths, the Moor and
Little Red Riding Hood fourth and fifth. Run in one mi-
nute 17 seconds.
The Manor Stakes of 5 sous. each, with 40 added; three yrs
