EPSOM RACES.—Txua,DAY, May 31.
THE DERBY.

This great race, on which so much speculation has been
made, so many different opinions formed of the merits of
the horses, and such consequent variations in the betting
(the ebbings and flowings of which have been unprecedented)
has at length come off, to the surprise of some, thesannoy-
ance of many, and the delight of a select few : but this is
the natural consequence of all great events.
The inducement yesterday was all attractive, and the
muster on the downs, if it did not exceed former years,
was at least as numerous as the last, and displayed the
same heterogenesus congregation which its proximity to
the metropolis naturally engenders.

As the hour drew-near which was to set at rest the
hopes and fears of the assembled multitude, and at the
same time decide the fate of a million or two of money, an
approach to the lines of the course was observable in every
part of the downs, and some time before the start, so
completely was that part of it which leads from Totten-
ham-corner to the Judges Stand covered, that it became
an Herculean task to clear a sufficient space for the horses
to pass throngh as they came in ; nothiag but the most:
strenuous exertions on the part of the constabulary force,
assisted by the Clerk of the Course, could have succeeded
in attaining this object. At the starting-post the scene
was equally animated, but of a different character : a fe-
verish anxiety was manifested by every individual of the
throng—not a moment was lost—bets were offered and
snapped up, to the amount of thousands, every minute—
in short, till within a minute of starting, the betting-ring
was the scene of unexampled noise and confusion. At
length, when the horses were saddled, the jockies mounted,
and every thing ready for the race, the hubbub subsided ;
and when the word " Off" was given, the lowest whisper
might have been heard.
At a little after two o'clock the great rate came off as
follows :

The Derby Stakes of 50 caw. each. h. ft ; for three-yr-
old colt., Sst. lib. ; fillies, Bet. 21b. The last mile and
a half. The owner of the second horse to receive 100
soya. out of the stakes.

Lord Jersey's Mameluke, by Partisan

The Judge only placed these two, but the following nine-
teen horses also started :

Lord Cavendish's Espagnolle colt
Sir C. Coote's Conrad
Lord Exeter's Augusta colt
Lord Egremont's Gaberlunzie
Lord Egremont's Catherine colt

6 to I agst Glenartney 16 to 1 agst I'urooman
6 to 1 apt Windermere 90 t• 1 agst &paganlle
6 to 1 agst Roderick 40 to 1 agst Edmund

9 to 1 agst Mameluke 1000 to 8 agst Bachelor

Glenartney was backed to an enormous amount. After
three false starts they got off, Bachelor being a trifle in
front, with Mameluke, Glenartney, Edmund, Windermere,
Gaberlunzie, Espagnolle, and another or two dose at him,
and nearly abreast. They went at a tremendous pace to
the rubbing-house, and, at the top of the hill, Mameluke
was first landed, Glenartney and Edmund looking pretty
well. Glenartney then came out, and passed Mameluke,
and continued in front, at diminished pace, round the
corner, and till within half a distance of ending, when
Edmund made a push at him, but failed immediately, and
gave way to Mameluke, who in a few strides got up to
Glenartney, and between these two a short struggle ensued,
but all in favour of Mameluke, who got the lead, kept it
in good style, and won very easy by two lengths. Win-
dermere, notwithstanding the prime jockeyship of Sam
Chiffney, was one of the first that was beat ; the Duke
of Grafton's two, Spondee, and several others, were also
beat early ; in fact, at the top of the hill, the only horses
who had any thing to do with the race, were Mameluke,
Glenartney, and Edmund ; and from that point to Totten-
ham Corner it was a complete tail-race. Gaberlunzie and
Espagnolle ran in next to Edmund.
It is proper to state, that positive orders were given to
Lord Jersey's jockeys not to consider each other, bat each
to do his best to win ; and we believe that similar orders
were given to the Duke of Grafton's riders.
The value of the stakes to Lord Jersey will be two
thousand seven hundred pounds.
A Plate of 50/. given by the County Members.
Heats Two Miles.
Mr. Gully's ch. h. Truth, 4 yrs, won first heat.
Mr. De Burgh's ch. f. Selina, 5 yrs, came in second, and fell.
Caot. Lock's b. in. Madame Poki, 5 yrs, was third.
The Durdaine Stakes of 10 sove. each, and 10 added.
One Mile.
Mr. Sadler's ro. g. Popinjay, 5 yrs....
Sir C. Rich's br. h. Razor, 6 yrs 2
Mr. Brown's b. h. Charmwood, 6 yrs
. _

The winner (rode by Chapel) set off at score with the
two others finely laid in ; he kept in front all the way, was
very handsomely run in by Razor, and won by half a length :
he was afterwards claimed, according to the conditions.
C. Day rode Razor, and F. Boyce, Charmwood.
The attendance of the nobility was very numerous ; we
observed, amongst a crowd of others, Prince Este' hazy,
Dukes of Portland, Grafton, Richmond ; Alarquissea of
Exeter, Titchfield, Graham, Blandford, and Tavistock ;
Lords Jersey, Lowther, Orford, Verulam, Bentinck, Fitz-
roy, Uxbridge, Lennox, Clarendon, Derby, Anson, &c.
The weather was beautiful, but the dust was intolerably
annoying, the nuisance being heightened by the wind, which
was very high. There were the usual stoppages in the
road home, with few accidents worth notice.
There was some betting on the Oaks, but too indefinite
to quote.
