ficient in pace-he is stout, and will probably run the distance well at Epsom, but there speed is also required. From the character of the betting subsequent to the race, we are induced to believe that Mouse is not to remain long in the background; the party stand very heavy upon him, and will keep him up, that they may get their money off. Augustus is something like Patron, but a finer animal, and with better action. They still assert that Mahmoud is the horse for the Derby. A good deal of uncertainty has prevailed as to The Mummer; all have been equally afraid to take or lay the odds, for it is suspected that he has been short of work, and known that if he is made fit for starting he will prove a dangerous customer. It is also certain that Sir Mark Wood has backed him to a large amount, and means to win with him if possible; towards the close of the Meeting he was backed, and is now in some favour. Brunswicker is not so fashionable as he was a few days back; he has had plenty of work lately, has improved considerably, and is a fine racing-looking nag. Little Red Rover has many friends, who fancy his strong compact figure and his running last Meeting; some of the best judges admit that if the favourites go off he may be handy, but that he is too small. The Derby seems now to rest between six or seven horses (not between two or three as some assert), so that the betting continues extremely favourable to those who have been making large books. For the Oakes, business has been brisker than we could have expected. Shumla, who was such a favourite in the winter, again came into the market in the course of the week, and with such force that 7 to 1 was taken freely. Her running for the Thousand Guineas drove her back with equal rapidity, Brambilla keeping company with her. Filagree would, no doubt, have become first favourite for the Oakes if she were not in the same stable as Mouche, who got into greater favour immediately after the race. It is now said that she will also go for the Derby. Several fluctuations terminated on Friday as follows : -- Derby.-3 to 1 Priam, 8 to 1 Augustus, 8 to 1 Mummer, 9 to 1 Brunswicker, 12 to 1 Little Red Rover, 12 to 1 Mahmoud, 16 to 1 Cestus, 20 to 1 Wat Tyler, 25 to 1 Mouse colt, 25 to 1 Capt. Arthur, 25 to 1 Zucharelli, 25 to 1 Brine. Oakes.-7 to 2 Mouche, 6 to 1 Maria, 8 to 1 Charlotte West, 12 to 1 Brown Duchess, 14 to 1 Zillah, 14 to 1 Lady Blanche, 18 to 1 Brambilla, 18 to 1 Shumla. St. Leger.-8 to 1 Raby, 8 to 1 Priam, 12 to 1 Brunswicker, 14 to 1 Lady Mowbray, 17 to 1 Hassan, 18 to 1 St. Nicholas, 20 to 1 Redstart, 20 to 1 The Barber, 25 to 1 Maria. No other mentioned. The Duke of Grafton has sold Gondolier to Lord Tavistock for fifteen hundred guineas; this horse ran two very severe heats with Augustus in the Craven Meeting, giving 5lbs.; he has a good engagement at Goodwood. Mr. Greville's Lady Emily is sold. to Mr. Forth for four hundred guineas. From Bell's Life in London, May 2nd, 1830. THE FANCY MELODIES. MEETING OF THE FREE AND EASY.
