DERBY.

The running at Nottingham yesterday was not
remarkable. Lifeboat turned the tables on the
Speaker, and Gladiolus and the Greek proved the
correctness of their Liverpool performances. Turfites
to-night will quit Nottingham and get to Derby
with all convenient speed, and Mr. T. Marshall is
quite prepared to give them a hearty reception, and
has provided for them an abundance of amusement.
When I took my pen in my hand I purposed indit-
ing a long and interesting article, but really I
cannot find any subject which would interest the
reader. Speculation on the Spring Handicaps
makes little or no progress, and the Derby betting
is, with the exception of the support which has of
late been conceded to both Volcano and Musjid, a
blank. The former has, it is said, wonderfully
improved, and the fact of Tom Taylor's possessing
the right sort of tackle to try him with, has in-
creased the fondness which the public is at all times
inclined to place in a " nobleman's horse."
But now to the Derby Spring Meeting. Tease,
of course, must be my representative for the Mid-
land Steeple Chase. The Earl of Essex will perhaps
win the Staunton Harold Stakes, and for the
Harrington Plate I shall select Tame Deer and
Weather wise.
