'The official account of the race, common to all the daily papers, is as follows-

" About a quarter past three, after one false start and two or three minor failures, the lot went away at an excellent pace, the Angelica colt leading, fol-

lowed by the .Alel.ely colt, Latineelot, and lhih1cud ; it Confederal e, Assassin, Little NVonder, and Setitari next, and the other; la ell laid up. This order was observed for about half-intik, when the Celt WA lip the running, Launeelot lying second, Assassin third ; Angoilea, Confederate, end Little NVonder, being the next lot ; in going round I lie I aro Little 'Wonder passed Assassin, and took his place at Launeelot's yr,rters ; the Angelica colt was beaten ()Where; in feet the three leading hos- es were all that were left its the race, neither Ass.Issin nor Confederate having the slighte..t chance of winning. The Dlelotiv colt maintained his had to the di: Aimee, and there it was all up with him ; Little 1Vonder then challenged the crack,' beaded him in a few• yards, was huh' a length before him ere he reached the stand, clutch whit by the post a clever winner by a length--Meloily third ; Confederate, who passed As- sassin at the distance, fourth; Assassin fifth, and Amurath sixth. Of the others it is only necessary to say that the tailing began before they reached the turn, and that Thom, (who at one part a the day was at 20 to I,) the Gift.

Wakefield, colt, and Sophocles, were the last three. Value of the stakes after making the usual deductions 3,7751.

"Immediately after the race, Mr. E. Anson entered the weighing-place, and delivered to Macdonald an elegant riding-whip as a testimonial from Prince Albert of his admiration of his jockeyship."

"The Marquis of Westminster and his friends are said to have lost heavily, in they bad taken the odds (9 to 4) which were freely offered against Launce. lot. The result of this race should be looked upon as a proof of Little Won- der's extraordinary powers; but should not in the least detract from the very high character which Launcclot has already acquired. The circumstance of seventeen horses having started for the Derby, and only two of them having been placed, shows that the race must have been well contested by these two horses. Little Wonder did not take up the running until the race was nearly half run, and then, with one tremendous rah, lie stretched a head of Launce- lot, and Scott, with all his skill, could not regain his position or take the lead."

The other races were not remarkable, and there was no betting upon them. The Queen and Prince Albert left the course after the second race, for Claremont, amidst the acclamations of the mighty multitude.

On Thursday, the company was very thin and listless, and the rutt- ing bad.

Yesterday, the Oaks attracted a numerous and brilliant attendance. The race was won in a canter by Lord George Benthick's famous mare Crucifix, beating Mr. I'ayne's Welfare, Mr. Wigram's Teleta, and twelve others. It is said Lord George Bentinck has won 20,0.30/. with Crucifix ; who is now first favourite for the St. Leger.

The other races yesterday were very indifferent.
