the first time in England at this concert. Her voice is
a soprano, the compass of which is three complete oc-
taves; its flexibility is marvellous, and her performance
of an air curie was one of the most wonderful
displays of vocal execution ever witnessed. Paganiui
himself never produced more astounding effect on his
violin than did Mademoiselle Ana Zerr with her voice.
The other singers were Herr Mengis, Herr Reichert, 11.
Jules Stockhausen, and Miss Bassano. Ernst performed
a fantasia on the violin from the Otello in the most ex-
quisite manner imaginable, and attsrwards excited the
I,4ughter of his audience by his humorous rendering of the
"Carnaval de Venise." Madame Parish Alvars was
much and deservedly applauded for the admirable man-
ner in which she performed a fantasia on the harp, and
Signor Bottesini gave a solo on the contra basso, which
is as extraordinary and as perfect of its sort as the solos
of Baumann on the bassoon. The orchestra, which was
full and complete, was led by Mr. Willy, and the concert
was conducted by M. Lavenu. We have seldom as
aisted at a more brilliant concert.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—A great many of the " early birds" were out
with the lark this morning on the Downs, to watch the
movements of the numerous horse/ out at exercise, my
correspondent among the number, which enables me (as
I can rely upon his judgment and eyes as well as my
own) to lay before you the following, in some instances,
no doubt, startling facts. Among the earliest horses out
was the quondam crack, the Prime Minister, who, in
the company of the Sister to Wanota, took a rattling
gallop. Ho looked uncommonly well; was, as has been
before remarked, rather fleshy; has not grown much
since last year; is a low horse, possessing large strong
quarters, stands about 15 hands 2i inches, and is very
muscular. He is a quick starter, but very fidgetty. It
is asserted that he cannot stay the distance: I have
some doubts on the point, but still think he is good enough
to be one of the first three, if not theabsolutc winner. Aaron
Smith, from the same stable, looked much improved upon
his Warwick form. The Marlborough Buck and Eloot at-
tracted a good deal of attention; the former was much
admired, he took a strong gallop; the latter had a gentle
canter and disappeared. Hernandez was not thought
much of; he, however, is the picture of perfection so far
as condition is concerned. Buckhound makes the run-
ning for him. Brother to Chanticleer is a strong, com-
pact, importation from the sister isle; he took strong ex-
ercise, and pulled up fresh. Lord Eglinton's couple
were out some time, both took a stiff spin, and looked
particularly blooming; neither will win the Derby. Heart-
breaker's style of mounting the hill was capital; he'll
ran forward In the race. Guy Mannering and Pay-
ment were also out, the latter, reported to have broken
down, took gentle exercise, and may yet convince
her opponents in the ring that her chance on
Friday is no hoax. Hesse Homburg looked and
went well, as did Catalpa, Lamartine, Louis
Napoleon, Midas, Runnymede, Narcissus, Buokthorne,
and the Black Doctor. The course, notwithstanding
the numerous showers that fell yesterday, is rather hard
than otherwise. The field for the great event of to-
morrow, will be composed, as near as I can poeaibly
tell at the present moment, of the following:—The
Prime Minister, The Marlborough Buck (Whitehouse),
Hernandez (Nat), Teddington (Mallon), Heartbreaker
(Butler or Bartholomew), Theseus (S. Rogers), Lamar-
tine, Mountain Deer (A. Day), Newham (Holmes),
Midas (Norman), Constellation (Templeman), Glen-
hawk (Dockeray). Telescope (Sly), Bonnie Dundee
(Sharp), Ariosto, The Ban (Pearl), The Tout, Guy
Mannering (probably Bartholomew), Hyppolytua
(Marlow). Louis Napoleon (Prince), Newminster, Hun-
gerford (Fenn), The Black Doctor (Osborne),-Runny-
mede, colt by Tearaway (Simpson), Bro to Chanti-
cleer, colt by Epirus, Azeth, Serus, England's Glory
(Wintringham), Buckhound (Kitchener), and Black
Douglass. My final opinions on the foregoing are as
follows:—Buckhound, England's Glory, Serus, Azeth,
colts by Epirus and Tearaway, Runnymede,
The Black Doctor, Hungerford, Newminster,
Louis Napoleon, Guy Mannering, The Tout, The
Ban, Ariosto, Telescope and Glenhawk, I find by my
accounts from Epsom and Leatherlaead this morning,
are, one and all, to be turned into the hopeless class;
NOT ONE OF THEM POSSESSING THE GHOST OF A CHANCE
4,F WINNING ! Midas, Constellation, Neasham, Moun-
tain Deer, Hyppolytus, Bonnie Dundee, and Theseus,
will form the foremost portion of the ruck; NOT ONE OF
THIS SECOND LOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN !
" Oh! who can count—not Pindar's self—
The names now put upon the shelf?
Oh! who can count the trembling hopes

When Epsom all its glories opes?" -
Now for the first flight; it will, I tancy, consist of the
Premier, the Buck, Hernandez, Teddington, Heart-
breaker, and Lamartine; ono of this lot, I am convinced,
must be the trump card to-morrow: As I remarked
yesterday, " if The PRIME MINISTER fails me, I shall
rely on HERNANDEZ and THE MARLBOROUGH BITCH to
pull my judgment through triumphantly;" fully ex-
pecting to see Teddington in the third or fourth position,
with Heartbreaker and Lamartine close up. Were Ito
place them, it would be thus—
THE PRIME MINISTER or
HERNANDEZI
THE MARLBOROUGH BUCK 2
TEDDINGTON
HEARTBREAKER 4
The latest betting this day at Epsom, up to half-past
twelve, is as follows:—Derby-10 to 3 agst Teddington;
13 to 2 agst Hereabdez; Bto 1 agst The Marlborough
Buck; 8 to 1 agat The Prime Minister; 16 to 1 agat
Constellation; 16 to 1 agst Theseus; 25 to 1 agat
Heartbreaker; 25 to 1 agst Lamartine; 25 to 1 apt
Ilyppolytus; 25 to 1 agat The Black Doctor; 50 to 1
agat Bonnie Dundee; 1000 to 15 agst Guy Mannering;
1000 to b apt Seras; 1000 to 5 agat Black Douglass.
Neasbam was nominally at 20 to to 1, Mountain Deer
and The Ban at 33 to 1, and Newminster and the Tear-
away colt 50 to 1 each.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The transactions to-day, although within two days of
the Derby, were limited in amount, and, except in two
or three instances, without any material influence on the
quotations. We may select the following horses as
having been biro ,pest in the market:—Tedding.
too, hacked for several hundred pounds at 10 to 3
and 7 to 2, Marlborough Buck, Theseus, The Black
Doctor, and Neas.ham. Hernandez and Hippolytus
maintained their positions, but were no: in force. The
Prime Minister opened at 8 to 1, went bock a couple of
Pointe,
in.e rallied a little, and lift oil at 9 to 1, taken, hav-
ing, however, beam determiried opponents. Constella-
tion receded to 17 to 1, and lett off almost friendless.
Tae most wait!. atfle " outside" betting was against
Glenhbwk. Mr. Davis accommodating all customers at
1,000 to 10, until he bad laid 50,0001. against him! It
is now calculated that there will be at least 30 runners.

be noticed in Aphrodite, and an improvement of ten
points in Payment. Ce sine prices:—
