EPSOMoe day o
Rf tt
the C E)e —a r
greaterEsnA l '
harbinger fo all
There is not n
ranks of
,which this mighty metropolis is composed of three or
four days exciting pleasui e, than the first day of Epsom races.
It is a sort of overture to a grand opera—a prologue to a drama
in which some 100,000 persons, if we make the corps drama-
tip(' complete, art' to be more or less actors. Of course in
comparison to what follows, it is of itself insignificant; vet
calculated alone—measured without comparison to that which
follows—it is far from being despicable. Of its nature no
other country can exhibit the like. It is not a day for sight
seekers, nor for those who visit gay scenes to be seen rather
than to see ; but it is r..ther for those who do not measure
plc.:sure by the variety and bustle of exhibitions, but for what
they really are worth. If the truth were told, the great majo-
rity of us, though the English are undoubtedly the most
thorough-going lovers of horse-flesh in the world, care little
about horse racing, and thousands who go to Epsom woulo
(but of course they dare not acknowledge their bad taste)
enjoy more cordially a race of donkeys, with sweeps on their
backs, than that of the best racers known, best-ridden by such
immortal jocks as the Robinsons, the Chiffneys, the Scotts, or
the Days. Hence it is that the first Epsom day finds on its Dawns
chiefly persons really fond of racing, or called thither
for gain, or to practice their callings, some of which, it must be
admitted, smack strongly of the disreputable. On Tuesday,
and on the Oaks day, " weather permitting," a greater number
of quiet and timid families may be found upon the Downs than
on that most remarkable day of the year to the inhabitants of
London, called "The Derby." Persons who do not like to be
hustled, who do not choose to make a toil of pleasure, who do
not like the contact of their inferiors, who detest that the odour
emitted by the living corses of the " rude rabble" should come
" between the wind and their nobility ;" your finicking young
lady, and your very genteel young gentleman—he who
imagines effeminacy gentility—prefer your quiet Tuesday to
the " day of days." fhey are, perhaps, after all, right, and
certainly so are those mothers who wish to show their young
ones a race without being continually on the fidgetts least they
should by some accident have their race run out. None of the
Epsom days can be without interest, for on each and every one
of them great interests are at stake, and consequently none
of them can be badly attended. The thorough sport-
ing character must be on the course on Tuesday, as
well as Wednesday, for to be perfectly polished he
must witness small as well- as great doings. Epesm race-
course, every day the races last, is well worth seeing, and so it
was yesterday. It is always a very pleasant thing to see a
number of our fellow beings congregated together in
search of happiness. Such a spectacle Epsom Downs pre-
sented yesterday. Nor do we every day see abroad a con-
gregation of country gentry, or an assemblage of well
dressed persons of either sex, a fair sprinkling of our nobility,
giving an inkling, at any rate, to the foreign spectator of the
personal appearance, and of the taste and splendour, of the
nation in which lie is a passing sojourner. That was seen yes-
terday. There the gentlemen who live by their wits had
already pitched their tents—the early bird, they well know,
catches th. worm—and that motley concourse of race camp-
followers had arrived, and the course exhibited, in the shape of
booths, with inviting signs, most artistically painted and let-
tered, that preparations were made to satisfy the diversified
appetites of the myriads expected on the morrow (this
day). The activity that prevailed in the morning at
Nine Elms, and at the Croydon Railway terminuses particu-
larly, since the " Stoats' Nest," to which that railway runs, is
not more than six miles from Epsom, the unusual crowd. on
the read leading from London and from other places to the
Course, showed that the racing week had begun. We have
little to add in the way of preliminary.; the programme fur the
first day was unusually inviting, the sport fully equal to expec-
tation; o
the weather, however, was adverse, the rain having
desceded without ceasing until near two o'clock, and at the'
sadist time that it laid the dust and refreshed the thirsty soil,
kept away hundreds who had made themselves up for " a day's
pleasure ; ' the attendance, in consequence, was thin, arid that
it was not so distingue as usual, the following brief list of
fashionables will testify :—Duke of Beaufort, Marquis of Nor-
manby, Lords Albemarle, Chesterfield, Villiers, E. Russell,
Resslym C. Fitzroy, G. Bentinck, March, Maidstone, Mil-

Banks tying in the rear. There was little change in the posi-

a severe race home, the mare winning on the post by a neck.

lIIE DERBY.
Nye have to record two instances connected with this race
which cannot fail to excite considerable interest. They relate
to Canadian and Auckland, whe stood on Monday third and
fourth in the list of favourites, the latter with a host of backers.
The first betting at Epsom yesterday morning betrayed a dis-
position to lay against both, and the effect was to drive Auck-
land to 16 to 1. Canadian, as far as we could collect,
being little in favour. The Craven Stakes was followed by the
retreat of Auckland to 25 to 1, and by a declaration that Cana-
dian was lame, and would not start ! We need not dwell upon
the dismay that ensued. For the decline of Auckland various
reasons are asssigned ; some say that he is amiss (he was
walking in the paddock the same evening, looking well
enotigh), ethers that he has been " made safe," while a few do
not hesitate to declare that he is " good for nothing ;" whether
each or either of the causes assigned be the true one, we do not
pretend to say ; r±ll that we have to observe is, that the odds
quoted are purely nomirral, as twice 25 to I would not have
been taken. Osborne, his trainer, we believe, left for London
before the races to see his master, but with what object has not.
transpired. The result of the Craven Stakes was of conse-
quence beyond the influence it may have been supposed to ex-
ercise on the position of Auckland, inasmuch as it immediately
brought Policy into notice at 25 to 1. The following list of
the prices at the close of the racing will show two or three

Mr. Bral:ant was in the firm of Capron and Co., solicitors
to the creditors of the late Marquis of Hertford. The prisoner
came to the office of the firm on the 4th of April, and witness
called his attention to the fact of his (the prisoner's) having
received, between the Ist. and 9th of February, the sum of
9,2001. in two cheques. Witness then asked him how it had
been applied, and he replied that he took the amount credited
in his book for the current expenses, and gave the rest into his
Lordship's hands. The book now produced was the one alluded
to. The prisoner had given credit for the sum of 2351. on the
9th February, and that was the only sum entered between the
tat and the 9th.
By Mr. Clarkson—The prisoner came to the office on his
own account. Witness was acquainted with the deceased Mar-
quis. Had reason to know that Suisse was in his entire confi-
dence. Knows that the prisoner was entrusted with Sums of
money to dispense by the Marquis. Was acquainted with the
Marquis's will.
Mr. Clarkson then asked the witness, if he was aware of the
contents of the codicils?
Mr. JARDINE said, if such questions were asked it would be
necessary to examine the witnesses again.
Mr. Clarkson said, he thought that all the charges which
were intended to be brought against the prisoner ought to be
made known on the present occasion.
Mr. .fARDINE said he had nothing to do with anything but the
case before him ; he could not call upon the prosecutors to pro-
duce any evidence except what was sufficient to commit the
prisoner for trial. •
Mr. Brabant's cross-examination continued—There was no
other account-book of the prisoner's that he was aware of.
Knew that there was a great number of paid bills in the pos-
session of the executors, which did not appear in the book ; he
believed they were paid by the prisoner, and he (witness) i
ought to state that when pressed for an account of this 9,0001.,
the prisoner said the bills would account for a great part of it.
Witness could also state that the book did not contain any-
thing like an account of the disbursements of the prisoner on
his master's account. The bills he mentioned are merely of
tradesmen's accounts.
Re-examined—After reckoning all the bills, there remained
2,000/. unaccounted for.
Inspector Partridge examined—Said he took the prisoner
into custody on the 4th of April. Found in his room an I 0 U
for 1,800/., a second for 2501., and a third for 501. He also
found a receipt for 3,000 f.
Mr. Blenkinsop, clerk in the house of Messrs. Coutts and
Co., deposed, that on the 7th of February he paid a cheque for
3,500/. to the prisoner. Amongst the notes were numbers
96,702, 93,703, 96,704, 96,705, for 1001. each.
Mr. Rabbett, another clerk at Coutti and Co.'s, deposed
that on the 7th of February the prisoner paid in 400/. to the
account of Madame Suisse. The notes were the same numbers
mentioned by the last witness.
Mr. Bodkin said this was all the evidence on the first charge.
Mr. JARDINE said, as this ease now stood, his impression
was to'comrait the prisoner for trial.
Mr. Bodkin said there was another charge relating to the
stealing of 56 inscriptions for the amount of epwards of 80,0001,,
payable to bearer, entitling. the holder to the payment of the'
amo.int. M. Cailliez had proved that he received from the
prisoner six inscriptions, forming part of the 58; he received
them from the prisoner shortly after the death of the Mar-
quis, and they amounted to 30,000:. With respect to the
other fifty-two he was in a condition to prove that Mon-
sieur Cailliez received from the prisoner the coupons, relating
to the inscription ; it was, however, necessary to show first,
that they were the property of the late Marquis. When
M.. Cailliez was examined he said that he took no
notice of the numbers of the coupons, but he had put them
into the possession of Caillicz and De Back, the bankers, and
it would be therefore necessary to call some one from them to
prove the numbers. It had been discovered on inquiry that it
was not permitted to remove the coupons from the bank. He
(Mr. Bodkin) would now proceed to prove the purchase of the .
inscriptions by the late Marquis.

and they were still suffering from the effects of the blows and
kicks they received. He was at length conveyed by main force
to the station-house, on reaching which he pulled off his coat,
and offered to fight the inspector with any three of his men,
and it required the united efforts of six policemen to lock him up.
A sergeant of the regiment was present, of whom this MA-
GISTRATE inquired what sort of character the prisoner had
hitherto borne ?
The sergeant said that he had been four years in the carps,
and his uniform steadiness, and soldier-like conduct, had won
the esteem of his officers, and been an example to the whole
regiment.
The MAGISTRATE asked the sergeant whether the military
authorities would think it necessary to impose any punishment
on the man, in addition to that which he intended to inflict ?
The sergeant said, that irrespective of the Magistrate's sen-
tence, the prisoner would most certainly be tried by a court-
martial, and in all probability reduced to the ranks.
Mr. BINGH Au said that had it not been for the prisoner's
fUrmer good character, and the degradation he would probably
suffer, he should have visited him with a much more severe
punishment than be intended to inflict. He committed the
prisoner to the HOLM of Correction for seven days.

THE HAWARDEN COLLTBRS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir.,--My attention having been, for the first, time
to-day, directed by a friend to a letter which appeared
in your paper on the 7th inst., purporting to come
from a workman, in which it is stated " that the col-
liers," as far as the writer is able to know, " by no
means wish to dictate to their employers who shall, or
shall not conduct their business, but that Mr. Staley
is supposed by the workman to have suggested,
and carried into practice a scheme for redacing;
the colliers' wages from 18s. to about 12s. per lveek,
by enlarging the meshes of the screens that screen the
coals, so as to admit one-third of the coals, for winch
they were used to be paid, to pass through them: as
slack ; the strike is, in fact, to prevent an actual se-
duction of 33 per cent."
I beg to state, in reply to this gross misrepreseli-
tation, that the riddles in use by the colliers, before
the turn-out, had meshes of one inch and a half square,
.and that the size of the meshes in the new riddles
‘9.re one inch and three quarters only, being an in-
crea.,qe of one quarter of an inch. It is, therefore,
minife,,t that the loss to the workmen by the new
riddles, could not possibly be anything like one-third
of the coals ; it could only be equal to the difference
between the large and small meshes, which differ
only one quarter of an inch in size. •
1 also beg to add, that the Ewloe Colliery Com-
pany are now paying more for the cutting of their
coals than they were at any time during the war,
when wheat was selling at 20s. a bushel, and coals at
that time were selling at 10s. per ton on the bank ;
they are now selling coals at from os. to 6s. Bd.
per ton.
This fact shows most clearly that Messrs. Rigby's
have no disposition to oppress the men, and it is my
determination, wherever I may be concerned, to see
the workman fairly remunerated.
To prove that the" attack was personal towards my-
self, I have only to state that the dispute, in reference
to the riddles, had been ,settled to the satisfaction of
the men before the assaulWas committed; and Ihave
since discovered that reports' to my prejudice, en-
tirely false, were industrious3y circulated amongst
them.
Although in this instance I hvase replied to an
anonymous Correspondent, in order' to replied a most
intention in future
barefaced falsehood, it is not a
to notice any letter to which the writer is ashamed
of affixing his own name.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—The following tragical
occurrence has thrown the quiet village of Hanwortla, Middle-
sex, into a state of great excitement. On Sunday night last a
fight ensued between two men, named Thomas and John
