SPORTING IN TELL] GENCE.
T ATTERSA LL'S—YESTERDAY.
The settling for the Derby and Oaks took place yes-
terday, and, as we anticipated. went off pleasantly. The
only great winners were Mr. Gully and his friends, to
the extent. it is said, of 40 0001., in addition to the two
stakes, which exceed 9.0001. There were a few losers
of from 1,0001. to 4,0001., but the bulk of the money has
come from the pockets of the backers of horses—i.e.,
"the public," wh.), like the eels, are " used to it," and
suffer quietly. Paying and receiving was not brought
to a close until nearly half-past six o'clock. A little
betting took place afterwards, at the following prices

PUBLIC THOROUGHFARES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I take the liberty of addressing you on the sub-
ject of re-paving Great Russell-street. What. I Lave to
complain of is, that the Paving Board or the Committee
of Management for St. Paul's Covent• garden, in sub-
jecting the inhabitants, as well as the public, to the
greatest inconvenience and loss by having the causeway
stopped at this season of the year—the busy time com-
mencing at the market, when the number of carts, &c.,
is considerably increased. Surely the parties might
have chosen a more proper time (say two months back),
when the inconvenience would not have been so great.
By inserting these lines 3 ou will greatly oblige
AN INHABITANT.
