This important line of railway will commence near the Midland
Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near itridgeford,
Holm°, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Bet-
teeford, Whattex, Elton, the nett and fertile Vale of lielvoir,
to the town of Grantham, thence passing through er near
Folkingham and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton,
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joiningthe intended Lynn and
East Dereham Railway, will form the 'nest direct line of connexion be-
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, aid Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Easters and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.
The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts Of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with
some of the best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a sapply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
rably cheaper rate than by any other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Nottingham.
Surveys are now in progress, and the mature of the country is
known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
of the Line will lee nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
teasioa of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wiabeach, will
also form a portion of the scheme.
The Report of the Board of Trade en the Lines through Lincoln-
shire, says :
" The total cost attending the transmissiox of a quarter of wheat
from the laterlor of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Bostoa to
London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to amount to very near Se. The charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
of 114 d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Uncoil Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges aro calculated not to exceed 2s. ad., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of as. 6d. per quarter,
occasiened by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &e."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happins that
owing to the delay and difficulty of transralvtlen, the Farmer is com-
pelled to sell his wheat at Le nearest provincial market at a price
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise."
" Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc-
tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer
and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in this
way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com-
munication."
The same remarks apply to the whole of the great maauttokuring
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 ACM, about
to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engiaeer for the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an
immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming-
ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic *pox the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase of traffic from this line of railway.
Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per eent. in-
terest upon deposits and calls, until completion of the line.

A good start was accomplished at the fourth attempt
Idas leading off, followed by Salopian, Fuzbos, Cobweb
colt, Wood Pigeon, Kedger, and Doleful, Pantasa and
Merry Monarch next, side by side, and behind them
Mentor and Pam, Annandale, and Old England lying in
the centre. In this formation they ran at a good bat to
the top of the hill, where Kedger and Doleful went to
the front, and jointly carried on the running at an im-
proved pace, Pantasa aid the Merry Monarch next, with
Wood Pigeon, Idas, Mentor. Pam, Old England, and AR-
nandale in their wake. They came thus to the turn, in
rounding which Pam, owing, as it is alleged, to another
horse hanging upon him, struck into Wood Pigeon's
heels and fell ; Weatherbit, who was following, jumped
over him, and, being put out of his stride, of course lost
some ground. Doleful and Kedger kept their places to
the distance, where the Merry Monarch went in front,
followed by Annandale, Pantasa lying third, and Old
England in company with Doleful, Kedger, and Wood
Pigeon. The run-ia was all in favour of the Merry Mo-
narch, Annandale, never getting nearer than his quar-
ters, and being finally defeated in clever style by a
length. Old England came at the last, and beat Pantasa
for third place by a neck, Annandale beating him by a
length. Next to this lot were Wood Pigeon, Doleful,
and Kedger, and behind him was the Crack (who was in
trouble before he got to the road), and Adonis. How
the next ruck came in we could not make out,
but those who pinned their faith on the Stanton nag,
The Libel, must have been not a little mortified to per-
ceive that he was the first horse beaten and the last at
the winning-chair. The Laird o'Cockpen, the Corumba
colt, Worthless, Young Eclipse, The Black Prince,
Cabin Boy, and several others, were beaten early. The
pace was good all the way. Value of the stakes, 3,9751.

EPSOM RACES.
THE DERBY DAY.
Hitherto the journalist in describing the Derby day
had considerable latitude, and from his varied descrip-
tions one would be induced to think him übiquitous. He
was like the " French falconer, flying at all he met,"
and all he did not meet. He painted, drawing no doubt
upon his fancy and a good deal upon his experience, the
appearances sad the casualties of the different avenues
leading to the course. He spoke of the crowds at the
Elephant and Castle, the stoppages at Kennington-gate,
the crash at Sutton, the multitudes that passed over the
different London bridges,—he described four-in-hands,
tandems, gigs, carts, vans, flies, go-carts, and all sorts
of turn-outs, from the splendid equipages of the west, to
the ricketty vehicles of the costermonger and knacker.
He painted the long line of carriages and equestrians
that moved along the old turnpike roads ; and he had to
record the smashing of coach-pannels, the collision and
locking in of wheels; splinter-bars splintered; the cut-
tings in and out of the line, upsets and runnings away,
fractured bones, and the insolence and extortion of the
keepers. He had to mention troops of boarding-school
boys drawn up in front of the various academies by the
road-side, or mounted upon the play-ground walls, and
young school-girls at the windows of their seminaries,
admiring the splendid drags of the aristocracy, and
the gaudy livery of postilions and out-riders, and laugh-
ing at and quizzing the multitude that passed by them in
worn out stage-coaches, greengrocers' vans, shabby carts,
or on foot. These amusing pictures are fast fading away,
for the rail-roads have already almost put an end to
them, and by this time next year they will have re-
ceived a coup de grace from the completion of an atmos-
pheric railway from London to the town of Epsom.
There can be no doubt that this great change will very
much injure the inns, &c., on the old roads, but it must
improve the Epsom races very much, making them more
numerous, and yet more select. Many a tradesman,
whom want of time has prevented from ever seeing the
Derby run for, will, when the atmospheric railway shall
have been completed, become a spectator of that event,
particularly when he can do so, and be back to business
in a couple of hours.
The Derby speculations this year, though certainly
materially affected by the growing importance of the
Chester Cup, were heavy in legitimate betting ; and had
it not been for the Old England and Weatherbit affair,
recorded by us on Tuesday, there would have been little
or no "nobbling" to complain of. Derby lotteries and
sweeps were numerous, but assuredly not so much so as
they were last year ; for confidence in them was cooled
by the Running Rein business, and by the dishonest
and disgusting legal obstructions thrown last year in the
way of payment of prizes. This year it is to be hoped
the treasurers of the lotteries will feel that they have no
excuse to make, and that they will pay, without demur,
the drawers of the winning horse. Another sort of
speculation—we might properly call it a mania—viz.,
that in railroads, has interfered with and diminished the
Derby betting. We fancy it would be very difficult to
decide which was the safer speculation.
The meeting yesterday was a numerous one. Al-
though it rained—not very heavily, it is true—from
dawn until a little before noon, the weather-wise pro-
phesied a fine day. They were right in their prediction
—between eleven and twelve o'clock the rain ceased,
and the sun shone pleasantly during the whole of the
races, and, almost up to the very moment of the start-
ing, arrivals on the course continued to take place.
When, at half-past two, the bell for saddling rang, the
course presented an animated and thronged appearance,
the coup d'ail from the Grand Stand might have chal-
lenged comparison with the best days of Epsom. The
hill just in front of the Stand was crowned with booths,
and its sides and base were covered with carriages
crammed with occupants of either sex. Close by, on
the eastern side of the winning stand, was a line of
carriages twenty deep, and each side of the course,
from its western extremity all round to, and beyond
Tattenham-corner, and nearly up to the betting ring,
was densely lined with all sorts of vehicles and every
grade of spectator. We did not observe in any quarter
symptoms of dread of dyspepsia. The Grand Stand was
well filled with the rougher sex, but exhibited a la-
mentable minority of the fairer members of creation.
No doubt the fatigues of the Drawing-room kept them
away, and we hope to see them in health, beauty, and
large numbers on Friday next, patronising by their pre-
sence the female equine contest for the Oaks.
Our attention being so fully occupied with the racing
occurrences of the day, we were unable to collect any-
thing like a tithe of the names of the distinguished
persons present. A casual survey of the course, how-
ever, enabled us to select the following :—Duke of
Beaufort, Lords Exeter, Normanby, Verulam, Wilton,
Stradbroke, March, Chesterfield, Uxbridge, Cantilupe,
Edward Russell, Macdonald, Lemon, Alfred Paget,
Arthur Lennox, Duncannon, Spencer, G. Bentinck, G.
Lennox, W. Powlett, Glasgow, Maidstone, Southamp-
ton, Miltoun, Glamis, Villiers, Rosalyn, Howth.
Honourables, H. Pitt, G. Fitzroy, H. Roux, Col. Anson,
H. Forester, Captain Spencer, E. M. Mostyn. Sirs, J.
Graham, W. W. Wynne, G. ,Houston, W. M. Stanley,
C. Cockerill, W. Codrington, G. Heathcote, M. Farquhar,
Baron de Tessier ; General Grosvenor ; Colonel Peel,
Colonel Knox ; Messrs. W. N. Johnstone, J. Stanley,
S. Stanley, J. Mills, Shelley, Greville, J. Bayley, Bas-
tard, Jaques, Batson, Payne, Clive, S. Graham.
The chief race was fixed for half-past two o'clock, but
punctuality in such an event is so difficult that it has never
been attained. The difficulty was increased yesterday
by the unprecedented number of horses brought to the
post, no fewer in fact than 31 I—Besides three false starts,
an accident happened to Alarm and his jockey, which de-
layed the final start at least a quarter of a hour. The
Libel reared up, and striking at Alarm, hit Nat upon
the wrist; this caused Alarm to plunge, and his rider
being dislodged, he ran against the chains, and feil over;
but immediately jumping up, he broke away towards
Tattenham-corner ; being headed about midway, he
made for the road leading into the bottom below the
weighing-stand ; and after narrowly escaping another
fall, was caught, taken back, and remounted. His leg
was cut, and the jockey's arm much bruised, but not to
the extent to prevent their taking part in the race. At
about half-past three a good start was effected, and in a
few brief moments the hopes and fears of the thousands
who had breathlessly awaited the commencement or the
struggle were set at rest. The " crack" was beaten dis-
gracefully, and a horse that was not even mentioned in
the betting proved to the satisfaction of the unlearned
in racing matters that the " knowing ones were done
again 1'

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sza.—l was fully prepared to see an outsider, and that
one of Forth's lot, bowl all the cracks over easily. I
mentioned in my prophecy of Monday last that it wss
very likely that an outsider, named but twice in the
betting in the early part of the season, and who had
lately been in some request at long odds, and which
outsider was the Merry Monarch, would do the trick.
The favourite, to my astonishment, went very badly;
Old England and Pantasa finished in front, and the
other fancy nags were tolerably well up.
On Friday the Oaks Stakes will bring a pretty field of
about seventeen to the post, which will be the following:
—Longitude, Miss Elis, Heather Bell, Lady Wildair,
Maid of Orleans, Agis, Sir Gilbert, Lancashire Witch,
Hope, The Wreck, Glee, Fickle Will, Rose, Lcelia,
Event, Stamp, Plaudit, aid Miss Sarah. Rose of
Cashmere and Refraction are very doubtful. Of these
the Lancashire Witch and Maid of Orleans have been the
best performers in public ; the former is a splendid
animal, well put together, and in beautiful condition at
the present time. The Maid of Orleans likewise is a
strong, well-made filly, and will doubtless be one of the
first three. The little Lady Wildair, too, will be very
near the mark, finishing in the front. Longitude is not
to be despised; in my opinion this is the best of Kent's
stable, who, by the by, is rather strong this year. To
sum up in a few words, I expect to see the Lancashire
Witch first, Lady Wildair second, Maid of Orleans or
Longitude third.

The Members' Plate will have either Seaweed or Bar-
ricade for winner; Montgomerie and Dalesman close up.
The Derby and Oaks Stakes to either the Devil-
among-the-Tailors or Live-and-let• Live, with Wild Roe
close up. I am. Sir, yours, &c.,

Albert left the Palace, accompanied by the Noble Directors of
the Concert of Ancient Music, for the Hanover:square Rooms.
The Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington, and the
Earl of Cawdor, were in the same carriage with the Prince.
The Marquis of Granby, Colonel Wylde, Captain Francis
Seymour, and Mr. E. Mildmay, occupied another carriage.
The Queen left Buckingham Palace soon afterwards, for the
Hanover-square Rooms, to honour the performance of the
Concert of Ancient Music with her presence. The whole of
the illustrious company accompanied her Majesty, and left the
Palace in the following order:—

Huu, they were dona—and the oftener they are done
in this way the more they like it—the following details
will show :

BETTING AT STARTING.

-20 to 1 each agst Pam, Doleful, and Fuzbos-22. to 1

colt, and Annandale-1000 to 15 each agst Miss Whip
colt, and Wood Pigeon-2,000 to 10 agst Clear-the-Way.
Just before starting 1,500 to 100 was laid agst Forth's
lot : but singly the winner was not mentioned. Mr.
Gully declared to win with Old England. While speak-
ing of the batting, we should mention that, in the course
of the morning, the parties referred to on Monday as
having laid so heavily against Old England were called
upon to stake, and were prepared with securities to the
amount of eighteen or twenty thousand pounds. These
were objected to, and it was then required that the whole
of the money laid on Mr. Gully's account should be
hedged at 20 to I—some points above the market
price. This was done, and the matter for tho present is
at rest ; we hear, however, that it will shortly come be-
fore the Jockey Club.
