TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,--The Morning Papers contain a loose report of an
irregular conversation which took place yesterday at the
Thatched House Tavern. In that report lam made to
say— Ihat the Catholic Forty-shilling Freeholders
should consent to be robbed of their franchise, ,ST.
Without adopting any part of the report, allow me to
deny thus publicly that I used those words, or any meaning
at all like them. I said directly the reverse-1 said that
the Catholics should never consent to any such disfran-
chisement, but should resist it by every 1,..gal and constitu-
tional means, and never relax such resistance.

Your prompt insertion of this contradiction will much
oblige your obedient Servant,

DANIEL O'CONNELL.

with best wishes, Sir,
Your very obedient Servant,
THOMAS GRIEVESON,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSAIL'S.

The principal features in yesterday's betting related to
the first faVouriteifor.the Derby, o.lks, and Riddlemorth,
the Espagnolle colt having dropped to 10 to 1, at which
there were no takers when the room closed. Green Mantle
improved a little for the Oaks, and Luss seceded for the
Riddlusworth, in consequence of Will-o'-the-Wisp baying
been backed very freely, in spite of the general belief on
Thursday last that he would not start. He began at 100
to 7, which was taken'seven times by one gentleman, and
finished at 9to I (taken). The King's colt is close upon
the heels of Espagnolle, and Morris Dancer offers fair to
become the third favourite. A busy day closed thu!—
