SETTLING FOR THE DERBY AND OAKS.

This important finale to the Epsom Races took place yesterday a,
Tatterasn's ; and although money came into the market slowly, the
settlement is considered to have been tolerably harmless; the books
were certainly less heavy than we have known on former ma.
alone, and this will account for their adjustment having been et.
fated with so little excitement or unpleasantness. We have no.
thing to add to the list of winners and losers given in the accounts
of the races, except that one of the latter class had not been able to
find his way to Hyde.park-eorner. The party alluded to is from
Birmingham ; his deficit is not ray extensive, and does not oee,‘
sion any serious inconvenience. The customary regulations wer
adopted to facilitate the settlement, tables and chairs being piaceeet
in the yard, and the doors closed to all but subscribers and those
who paid a sovereign for admittance. The latter precaution had
the effect of keeping out improper characters, many of whom were
on the outside, on the lookout. The heaviest losers are the Bit-
mingham, Manchester, and Yorkshire Gentlemen, who bad backed
" Brownian" to a very large amount; Indeed, so severely were
they bit, that it was prognosticated that some of them muld not
possibly show on settling- day. The Brummagem lose so much
that a new copper oge would scarcely put them " right in
Court." The spirit with which this horse was backed partook of
infatuation. The Scots declared they never bad such a Derby
nag, and gave weight to their opinion by laying out large sums
of money upon him. If they were right in their judgment, what
must those be that beat him, and, more especially, what must

knew him to be the best Derby hone that had ever come into their
stable. Mr. Ridsdale formed a pretty correct judgment of his little
nag. He M decidedly ate of the compactest things for his size that

one too many in the race. Lord Exeter's horses ran just as the
party expected, as fu as concerned themselves, but did not quite
come up to what was anticipated of their running against Priam.

at the commencement, but got much more profitable towards the
last month or two.
