SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SETTLING FOR DERBY AND OAKS.

Like the postscript of a letter, which generally con-
tains more than the letter itself, the settling for the
Derby is far more interesting to a betting man than
its immediate result. It isvery well to look over your
book and say " I have won so much ;" but the im-
portant query, " Shall I get it ?" will always present
itself to those who have acquired experience in these
matters ; an old stager can tell in a moment how it
will be ; he can put his finger on those who won't come
and those who will come but won't pay ; he can cal-
culate pretty closely what he shall receive in money
and what in I 0 Us ; in short he will not have much
trouble to ascertain what he has won by the race and
what he shall lose by settling. Without departing from
truth, the business transacted on the Tuesday after
Epsom might be styled the " unsettling of the Derby
and Oaks," for we will take upon ourselves to affirm
that since the good old fashion of levanting has become
obsolete no man has been able.to wind up his accounts
for six months after their decision. There was no-
thing in the transactions of yesterday to distinguish
it from other settling days ; the premises were crowded,
the bank notes were handed about like waste paper,
the winners smiled, the losers looked as losers always
look, and all apparently went off smoothly ; one or
two " outsiders" of the mushroom genus were " want-
ing," bOt all the principal sufferers were present. As
we stated at the time, the winners were almost exclu-
sively confined to the gentlemen ; the balances, how-
ever, are moderate, a reasonable dread of Shilelah and
Bubastes having induced most of them to hedge their
money. The betting men are losers almost without
exception, and most of the money won on Rockingham
was lost on Bubastes. The Oaks came off more
favourably for the book-masters, notwithstanding that
many of them were "picked up" at thousands to
twenty-five thousands to forty, &c., to a considerable
amount. It is gratifying to add. that both races were
run perfectly on the square, and their results were cal-
culated to operate beneficially on racing, as the money
returns to those who have ever been the best friends of'
the turf. The honourable, straightforward, and
sportsmanlike conduct of Mr. Batson throughout,
especially for refusing an enormous sum for his horse
(a sum exceeding what he was in bets), is spoken of
in all quarters with the highest admiration; of the
integrity of his jockey no other proofs need be adduced
than that he won on the horse and lost on the race ;
he was present yesterday, and received substantial
marks of approbation from several noblemen and gen-
tlemen. The only bets we heard were as follow :

The debate of Monday night on Mr. Ward's
resolutions has told in fovour of the new cabinet—
for new in many respects we may, now very fairly
term it—to an extent which has as greatly disap-
pointed its enemies, as it has gratified all who were
inclined to deal fairly with it. Mr. Stanley, in
fact, furnished the most complete vindication of it,
in the elaborate speech which he- delivered, which
any cabinet could possibly have desired. We ad-
mire the talents of that right hon. gentleman—we
have repeatedly mentioned with deserved commen-
dation his powers of reasoning and debate—we have
regretted his secession from the cabinet, as a diini- I Ascot Heath races commence on Tuesday next ;
nution of the strength of the ministry in the House they promise excellent sport. The entry for the Ascot
Of Commons ; but his speech of Monday night, Cup next year is one of the finest ever known.
