We have before alluded to the great loss of time at starting. The failures WOW occasioned by the restiveness of The Athenian. whit whom force and persuasion were alike unavailing. In the last attempt he was in the same unlucky mood; and the start, a most unsatisfactory one, was made without him.

Lord Jersey aml his friends are very large winners ; and the belling men, with one or two except iutm, losers.

Two other races followed the Derby ; but as they attracted little interest, we omit the particulars.

Yesterday the company was numerous, but not very fashionable. The only interesting race was for the Oaks Stakes ; which were won by Mr. Scott's Cyprittn, heating Mr. Houldsworth's Destiny, arid ten others. Thus the first favourites won both the Derby arid the Oaks.
