EPSOM RACES—Twouner.
THE, DERBY.
'This great race, on which so muck speculation has been made,
Many different opinions fawned of the merits of the honee,o4
such consequent variations in the betting (the ebbinp aod fi
a which have been unprecedented) has at Most
come off, to-the
surprise of some, the annoyance of many, sad the delight of k select
fee—but this is the natural consequence of all great 'woes:"
The inducement yesterday was all-attractive, and the muster 11111
the downs, if it did not exceed former years, was at least as nuts
roue as the last, and displayed the same heterogeneous consisted*
which its proximity to the metropolis naturally engenders.
As the hour drew near which was to set at rat the hope and
fears of the assembled multitude, aod at tba same time decide the
fate of a million or two of matey, 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 alit which leads from
Tottenham-corner to the Judge's Stand covered, that it became eel
Herculean task to clear a sumcient space for the horses to pass
through as they came in ; nothing bet the most strenuous exeres,
on the part of the constabulary force, assisted by the Clerk of the
Coarse, could have succeeded In attaining this object. At the start-
ing post the scene was equally animated, but of a different character
—a feverish anxiety was. manifested by every individual of the
throng—not one moment was lost—bets were offered and snapped
up, to the amount of thousands, every minute,--40 short, till within
a minute of starting, the besting-ring was the scene of ape
noise and confusion. At Meg*i when the horses were saddistlithia
Oaks mounted, and every. .fidrqr ryfiglor the race, the hubbub
subsided ; and wisest the wing Pp iti's Satill the lowest iddim

The crowd round the Stand besame so dense after this. R&M, that
it was found almost impossible to get up the horses that the jockim
might be weighed. Mr. illaberly, attended by hlr. Fariel (Clerk
°tithe Course) rode into the throng, and used every exertion tp'

Mr. Farrel. but till more effectual means are furnished to him,-

The weather was beautiful, bet the dust was intolerably annoy-
ing. the nuisance being heightened by the wind, which was very
high. There were the usual stoppages in the toad hems, with
new accidents worth notice.
There was some betting on the Oaks, but too iudefinite to quote.

is the usual manner upon the Secretary of State far
diva :Haw Department, to inquire when it would be
his Majesty's -pleasure to receive the Sheriffs and
liwiStlf. in -obedience- to the directions of that Court.
He bad, indeed, called at bis office on the day on
which the Address Oras voted, and every subsequent
day, but without seeing. that Right Honourable Gen-
tleman.. He tad, however, on Saturday.last, the 26th
instant, received a letter from the Secretary of State,
in which he stated that he had laid his (the City Re•
membrancer's) communication before his Majesty, and
he had it in command to inform him that his Majesty's
health was so exceedingly delicate, that he could n,,t at
this moment receive the City Address upon the Throne ;
.and, as it was very uncertain when his Majesty's heath'
would be sufficiently reestablished to admit of his doing
so„ be could not appoint a time for receiving the She-,
riffs of London and the City Remembrancer.
Mr. PEACOCK I suppose, MO time To per;
