This we believe to be the gist of the questions at issue, but we think there are various ramifications which throw impediments in the way of anything like a clear elucidation. There will, no doubt, be a great drat of c3ntradictory evidence — much of truth and much of falsehood. The Stewards, or possibly the C!uh—for it is not settled whether the inquiry shall be before them or the body of the Club— we anticipate will have great difficulty in sifting the corn from the chaff ; and, after all, we shall not be sur prised if they will be placed in the position of only adopt ing. some declaratory resolution or law, with respect to jockeys, trainers, and commissioners, which will tend to repress similar practices in future. UNITED STATES. LATER FROM AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING. - The fast-sailing ship Sea, Captain Edwards, arrived at our port this morning from New York, whence she sailed on the 26th ultimo, bringing nine days' later intelligence from the United Statcs. The rumours of an intended invasion of Texas by 10,000 Mexicans is in a great degree confirmed by this arrival ; the troops were actually on their route, which is said to be a circuitous one, insomuch that they will not be enabled to cross the frontier until late in the autumn. In the meantime couriers are dispatched with all speed between the Governments most interested in the matter. Governor Houston had sent a messenger to Mexico with important dispatches, and another, General Duff Green, had also been sent on a similar errand by President Tyler. The commander of the Mexican war steamer Guadeloupe passed through New Orleans on the 16th instant, with important dispatches from England for Santa Anna. Steamers and other vessels are, it is said, to convey troops from Tampico in October, to Galveston, which will be invaded and blockaded. Another account states that President Houston has offered terms, the purport of which has not transpired, for the suspension of hostilities reported to have com menced on the other side of the river Bravo. A body of 600 Americans have fixed their residence on the banks of the Sacramento, California ; the Mexican Government were about to take measures for their expulsion. Our advices from Central America are to the 19th of July. There had been much disturbance and fighting, caused, according to common report, by the machinations of the British. The San Salvadorians, with the people of Nicaragua and Honduras, had marched against Gua temala ; they took possession of an English schooner, the flag of which, after being lowered, was again hoisted, but the vessel was still in the power of her captors. The Canadian Parliament is to meet on the 22d in stant for the dispatch of business. There had been some rioting between the students of Victoria College, Co • bourg, Canada, and the inhabitants of the town. The former lowered the British flag and tore it into frag ments, afterwards hoisting the American colour ; this was Speedily hauled down by the citizens. No serious damage resulted. The loyal party were completely triumphant. At a meeting of the Whig party at Boston, on the 19th, Mr. Webster made a long and eloquent speech. Al luding to Texas, he advised that she should con tinue to be an independent nation, and repudiated the idea that England will seek to acquire any special connexion with Texas. He spoke of the fixed deter mination of the British Government to discountenance slavery, on which a voice in the crowd exclaimed, " They are all slaves in England." Mr. Webster turned quickly on the speaker, and with a flashing eye and in dignant voice, asked what blood they, the citizens of the United States, inherited ; from whence were the first guarantees of the liberty of the subject derived ? He proceeded to say that Mexico had a right to regain Texas if she could do so speedily and promptly ; but otherwise a war of petty depredation must be put a stop to by the great Powers. His course on the subject of protection would be the principle, " If you will trade with me, I will trade with you." He, would, however, have the hand labour of America protected against the cheap labour of the operatives of Europe. A new line of packets, consisting of the St. George, 1,000 tons ; Pacific, 800 tons ; and Seymour, 1,000 tons, is about to be established between New York and Liverpool. The St. George sails on the Bth of October. From Arkansas we learn that the cotton crop is likely to prove fine and abundant. MARYLAND AND 01110 TOBACCO CROP.—In Maryland the crop is reported to be one-third below an average, but the quality of the leaf is much superior to the last. It is said that many planters around New Orleans are preparing to convert their cotton gins into sugar houses. The caterpillar has made its appearance almost annually. NEW YORK, SEPT. 26.—The sales of cotton are 800 bales, at steady prices. Flour is rather dull of sale, but firmer. Ashes bring $4 38c., and $4 19c. to 25c. Sales of mess pork have been made at $9 12c. to 25c. ; more sellers than buyers. Bees' wax sells freely at $291 to 30c. The exchange on England is 1091, and on Paris, 5,224. THE THEATRES. HAYMARKET. Don Cesar de Bazan has taken possession of almost all our theatres. Another version of the Don was produced at this theatre last evening, with Mr. C. Mathews as the hero. In the lighter parts of the character Mr. C. Matthews was admirable, but he failed in the graver parts. He has har Ily sufficient calibre for such a character as the Don, who after all is a most manly fellow. Miss Julia Bennet wa• lively and graceful as the Gitana, and the other characters were well sustained. The hero and hero:n3 were called for at the conclusion, and received the usual honours.

EAPRiaamiab.; Patentees and Sole Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite Candle giving about the same quantity of light ag three of the moulds. They require no snuffing, and burn more brilllantly than the best wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to try them for the first time, aro earnestly requested to take care that they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:" the reason for this caution is given elsewhere.

SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEADACHE AND DEAFNESS CURED! By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound! Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thousand cures have been accomplished ley its use, at a trifling expense, yet certain in its operation. It testimonies be necessary to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Commons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Ma-. jesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grim. stone's Eye Snuff" for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eves and Head.

The late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grimstone's Eye Snuff, and call it "Man's best Friend," and the "Student's Vade Mecum." Dr. Andrews also recommends its use as a preventive. See his reports in Nov. 1831. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous system, that Grim. stome's Eye Snuff, when frequently taken, must be of the greatest benefit to the consumer; and, further, recommends its universal adoption as a preventative. Dr. Thomas, of Hatfield, having witnessed many cases both of headache and ophthalmia, has kindly given his testimony thereof.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. NEW3IARkET, MONDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK, - r.M. The influx of company of all ranks since our last, de note the great intere,t that the various events to be investi g ated and d ec id e d i n th e course o f th e wee k h ave excited in the sporting circles, and leave no room for doubting our prediction that the meeting in most respects will be eminently successful. Every stable in the town is full of horses, and that they have not been sent to re main idle, the two classes for the T.Y.C. Plates, and the number of other races run this afternoon, sufficiently prove. We do not anticipate that the four succeeding days will realise so large an amount of sport, but that it will be of superior importance must be obvious to any one who has taken the trouble to go through the list ; if we may judge from the unfavourable state of the wea ther this afternoon, the enjoyment of it will not be with out alloy. To get through so extensive a bill of fare in time to admit of the Jockey Club meeting convened for this evening, the first match—Zenobi a ver sus Sister to Give- him-a:Name—was timed for twelve o'clock ; early as this was, it did not prevent the usual muster in front of the rooms, for the purpose of speculating on the great event of the meeting—the Cesarewitch. On this race a great deal of business was done, at the following prices:- 5 to 1 agst Mr. Irwin's Foig-a-ballagh—taken 8 to 1 agst Duke of Portland's Souvenir filly 9 to 1 agst Mr. J. llampson's Lightning—taken 9 to 1 agst Lord G.

The Stewards have, wo understand, appointed to morrow morning, at nine o'clock, for entering upon the investigation of the supposed malpractices in the case of the late Mr. Crookford's horse Ratan, of which all parties have received notice. The parties stated to be implicated are Sam Rogers, the jockey by whom the horse was ridden (being trained in - his father's stable), a person of the name of Braham, a friend of Sam Rogers's, residing at Newmarket, and certain professional betting men, who laid against the horse to a large amount. There are various contradictory stories afloat, which it would be premature to publish. Sam Rogers's first voluntary statement to Mr. Crockford, junior, and Lord George Bentinck was, that he had beta induced by strong solicitations to bet against the horse with the view of securing his defeat, but with the full inten tion of riding honestly, and frustrating the views of his seducers ; declaring, at the same time, he never meant to receive the proffered bribe. It was subsequently discovered, however, that he did not adhere to his pledge not to receive any portion of the proceeds of defeat, but actually pocketed 1,6601. This created just suspicions of his honesty and veracity, and he was suspended from riding for the Duke of Richmond and Lord G. Bentinek ; and the latter nobleman,.pur suing his inquiries, learnt that Braham had been the agent by whom bets were laid against the horse, as he said, at Sam Rogers's suggestion, from a belief on the part of the latter that the horse could not win the Derby —and it was further alleged that this course was merely prompted by a desire on his part to hedge to the large sum he was sure of winning if the horse should win. Braham, it would seem, played his own game, and laid against the horse on his own account, and employed certain commissioners to carry out his views. Rogers subsequently discovered that the horse improved, and was better than he anticipated, and, repenting of what he had done, he employed other commissioners to back the horse, thus putting one set of agents to operate against the movements of the others. In this way lie involved himself in a maze 2 f.difficulties, and, like all wrong-doers, had recourse to falsehood to cover his delinquencies. His conduct throughout will, of course, form one portion of the proposed investigation, and then will come the important question, whether temptation was held out to him to betray his trust, or whether the betting against the horse was not the suggestion of his own mind, influ enced, in some measure, by his friend Braham. Of course, if any class of betting men did hold out pecuniary temptation to him to act dishonestly towards his em ployer, their conduct admits of but one construction; but if, on the contrary, it shall appear they were sent have and employed by him, however unjustifiable it. may ai as b t e i e l In horse thi i s n w ao t sv h e e arm coursely h to ieh bet utnhfaotrftourjnoacteiaTyy jockeyt o hado c o c n ao s g i l rneonslti PRINCESS'S. Auber's opera, The Syren, was produced at this theatre last evening, with ademoiselle Nau as the Syren. It cannot be matter of surprise that such a syren should attract crowds, and accordingly the house was crammed to the ceiling long before the com mencement of the performance. After a somewhat noisy, but thoroughly Auber-ish, overture, the curtain rose, and discovered the interior of a vicarage in a village in the Abruzzi with Mathea (Madame Feron), the old housekeeper of the late proprietor, the vicar, hastening to open the door, at which a vigorous knocking is kept up. The door is opened, and Bol baya (Mr. Leffler), accompanied by Scipio (Mr. C. Horn, jun.), an officer in the Neapolitan marine, enter. Balbaya is the brother of the former pro prietor, and comes to take possession of his inhe ritance, but he has also another errand in the Abruzzi. He has been told of a beau tiful female voice which has been heard of late among the mountains, and to which the name of the Syren has been given, and if that voice should happen to have a body, he would like much to engage it as his prima donna. Mathea warns them against listening to the delusive strains of the Syren, when suddenly the Syren herself is heard singing in the mountains. Scipio is struck, he recognises the voice as that of one with whom he has exchanged vows of love. Scopetto (Mr. Allen) enters, inquires for the old priest, and is struck with sorrow when he learns that he is dead. This Scopetto is a captain of smug glers, and under the name of Marco Tempesta has been for years the admiration of the mountaineers, and the terror of the revenue officers. He is unknown to Scipio, who has come into the mountains in pursuit of him, having previously, in his brig, the Etna, captured a rich venture which Scopetto had embarked under the command of his lieutenant, Pecchione (Mr. P. Corri). Wine is brought in—old wine—which Mathea in forms them had been kept by her master for Fran cesco, a youth who, when King Joachim's troops had driven the smugglers from the mountains, had been left an infant, with his twin sister, in a basket at the door of the vicarage. The girl had been sent to the orphan's hospital at Naples ; the boy had been brought up by the vicar until his twelfth year, when he had been stolen by the band of Marco 'Tempesta— that boy is Scopetto ; the girl is Zerlina, the be trothed of Scipio. She had been taken from Naples by her brother, whose orders she had sworn, by , the death-bed of her father, to obey, and she is employed by her brother to lure travellers, by her songs, to the retreat of the band in the mountains, but never to suffer herself to be seen. She is the Syren. The party is shortly afterwards joined by the Duke of Popoli (Mr. 'Walton), Governor of the Abruzzi, who recognises Scopetto as having been formerly in his service. The Duke also has been robbed by Marco Tempesta, and vows vengeance, making Scopetto the confident of his schemes for making the redoubted smuggler prisoner. His immediate business at the vicarage is to meet a mask who made an appointment with him at the vicarage ; the mask comes not, but a note, signed " The Syren," is delivered to the Duke, informing him that his elder brother had married a certain Maria Vergani, and that her son would claim the dukedom; but that the writer had the mar riage documents, and would meet the Duke in the mountains to negotiate their delivery. A gendarmes enters, and hands the Duke a description of Marco Tempesta ; Scopetto gets pos session of this paper before the Duke can read it, and cleverly substitutes for it a description of Scipio. , Balbaya and Scipio, who have been in pursuit of the - Sheen, re-enter, and the Duke, comparing the appear ance of Scipio with the description, congratulates himself on having at length got hold of the real Marco. A beautiful quartett occurs in this scene, which was deliciously given by Allen, Leffler, C. Horn, and Walton, and which may, p er h a p s , b e con sidered the gem of the opera. This quartett was encored. Scipio and Balbaya, hearing that the Duke has an appointment at the Pietra Nera with the Syren, request to accompany him, and the Duke con sents, telling Scopetto to be with him, as he intends to have his guards there to shoot Marco, and get possession of his papers, without further trouble. The scene of the second act is the mountains. The stage is divided into two parts, the lower of which represents an inn, backed by the overhanging mountains. The upper part represents a forest path, that winds amongst the trees and rocks. The act commences with a drinking chorus of smugglers, of no very great merit, and then Scopetto enters. He dismisses the band to their several stations. Zerlina appears on the upper part, singing and gathering flowers. She gradually descends, enters, and gives the nosegay to her brother. He discovers that she loves the son of Maria Vergani, and that that son is the very Scipio whose ruin he has sworn. He rushed out, declaring such a marriage impossible, and Zerlina gives utterance to her feelings in an ex quisitely-expressive romanza, which was given by Mademoiselle with beautiful simplicity and pathos, and which was rapturously encored. Scipio and Bal baya appear upon the path above. Scipio enters, recognises Zerlina, and they both rush into each other's arms. At the entry of Balbaya, Zerlina leaves him, the smugglers rush in, and are about to murder them both, when Scopetto arrives and saves them. Dis patching Scipio for the papers which prove him to be the son of Maria Vergani, and making him swear to divulge nothing for twenty-four hours, he retains Bal baya as a hostage, to the great horror of the worthy impresario. Scarcely has he gone when the Duke, who of course has been disappointed of his rendez vous at the Pietra Nera, inn, enters the which he is surprised to find is kept by Scopetto. His grace is in a sad pucker. He is to give, the next day, a fete at Popoli, where the seized cargo of Pecchione has been deposited. He has nothing pre pared. Scopetto relieves him from his difficulties, by introducing to him Balbaya and the smugglers, as a manager and a corps operatique, and undertaking to get up an opera for the amusement of his guests at Popoli. The written appointment of Balbaya quiets his suspicions, and when Zerlina is introduced as the prima donna and sings to him, he is enraptured. The singing of Mademoiselle Nau as the prima donna in this scene was beyond all praise—it was a magni ficent exhibition of power and science, with just that slight dash of tremulous nervousness which so well becomes a debutante, and which it might be ex pected she would exhibit on such an occasion. The audience, by their repeated and enthusiastic plaudits, ratified the decision of the Duke, " Beyond all ques tion she's a prima donna." The third act takes place at Popoli, at the Duke's chateau. The smugglers are there as the corps operatique. They make the most of their time, and pack up all their own and something else besides, and embark it in their boats. Scipio, who had been detained as the smuggler chief by the Duke is released by Zerlina, and returns with the papers to Scopetto, who gives him his sister's hand, and salutes him as Duke of Popoli, to the great horror of the old Duke, who is anything but pleased at this inopportune discovery of his nephew. Scopetto ' avows himself to Mathea as Francesco, and explains that Zerlina has always been ignorant of his real cha racter. The smugglers have escaped with their booty, and have seized Scipio's brig, but Scopetto is left alone, and must, ere long, be recognised, as an offices who is acquainted with his person has arrived, and every avenue is guarded. He seizes a and accompanies Zerlina, who commences sing ing. All are enraptured at thtoe exquisite s eizes the op ness of her song, and Scopetto balcony, which portunity of leaping opens on the sea, into h a . fbro°alnt without is awaiting him. The guards fire after i!n, b . tit_oordgaielyffesciot,gifoogr, in s the curtain falls, his voice is h the distance. The finale is a very sparkling compo sition, and, as given by Mademoiselle Nau, it was a perfect triumph of art. Her fioriture was lavishly b r illiant, and her power was astonishing. In fact, we are very much inclined to believe that the finale is more indebted to the taste and science of the singer than to that of tlie composer for its great effective ness. There are some exquisite morceaux in this opera ; we have particularised the greater number of them ; but, taken as a whole, it is scarcely worthy of the genius of Auber. Nevertheless it is brilliant, sparkling, and pleasing, and will, no doubt, have a run. The libretto is by Scribe, and the plot is most cleverly developed. Incident follows incident with marvellous rapidity. The interest never flags, and 'the imbroglio is kept up to the last, The opera was announced for repetition four tinies a week amidst loud applause. Mademoiselle Nau was led on by Allen, whose Scopetto is desnvirg of all praise, and received with all the honours. A DE LPHI. A new piece —new at least at the Adelphi—was brought out at that theatre last night. It is a drama in three acts, and is called Don Ccesar de Bann. It is the same in plot with that which was produced last week at the Princess's, and both are, we believe, adaptations from the French. As the piece has not been enacted for the first tiine at the Adelphi, and as the plot has been before described, it becomes unnecessary to repeat it now. We shall, there fore, confine ourselves to the mode in which the piece was brought forward, and the manner in which the principal characters were filled. The hero of the piece was the character assigned to Mr. Web ster, who, fur the first time, made his ap pearance in character at this theatre last night, and the part of Don Cresar could not have been entrusted to abler or better hands. IS Nether as the dissolute and gambling Count of Garda, with nothing but his title, his good-nature and his reck lessness of danger left him, or as the indignant hus bandwho reproves the dishonourable course of his austere and sensual king, he performed his part segno per segno, and left nothing to be wished for. The piece is full of salient points, and Mr. Webster made them tell upon the audience with the happiest effect. We would instance, in particular, the scene in the Marchioness of Montepompas (Miss Brooks), who acted her character with considerable skill, is in troduced to him as his wife by the king's favourite, Don Jerome de Santarem (Mr. Worrell). His style in the scene with the King and Maritana was likewise excellent. Mr. Wilkinson, as the silly Marquis of Montepompas, made an excellent queue de la comete to his lord and patron, Don Jerome. Madame Ce leste was full of energy and action, and Miss Wool gar, who was fame de la chicane, acted with great sprightliness and vivacity. The scenery, by Messrs. Pitt and Johnson, is highly cre ditable to them, and the wise en scene was altogether most efficient. The house was ex tremely well filled, and the audience seemed highly pleased with the piece. At its conclusion Mr. Webster was loudly called for, and most heartily cheered on his appearance. The operetta of The Fox and the Goose followed, in which Mrs. Fitzwilliam figured with all her usual spirit. Foreign Affairs, the comedy written by Mr. Webster, concluded the even ing's entertainment, in which there was some capital acting, Mrs. Yates, Madame Celeste, Mr. Hudson, and Mr. Wright sustaining the principal parts. There was a great deal of humour in the vexations and tor ments of the Baron Fitzstouz (Mr. Wright), whose sense of courtly decorum was shocked at the vulgar remarks and ill-bred forwardness of the Baroness (Mrs. Yates), a rich City dame, whom he marries for her—money. f' HAMBURGH MAIL. POLISH FRONTIERS, OCT. I.—Some weeks ago above twenty youths belonging to the Gymnasium were arrested at Warsaw as members of a secret so ciety. The younger boys, of 13 and 14 years of age, were sent to the interior of Russia; but the elder ones were sent to the Caucasus, to serve as privates in the Russian army in that country. STOCKIIOLM, OCT. I.—An estate called Bolierup, belonging to the late king, has been purchased by Mr. Sylvan for 300,000 rix dollars banco. STADE, OCT. 3.—The magistrates have issued a notice respecting a treaty of commerce and naviga tion (which is shortly to be ratified), concluded with the Danish Government, by which Danish ships and their cargoes are placed on the same footing with re gard to charges in the Hanoverian ports as our own. This notice states that this equality is to take place from the Ist of this month. BREMEN, OCT. 9.—The treaty of navigation of 18th July, 1844, concluded between Sardinia and the Hanseatic cities, was discussed in the meeting of the citizens yesterday. This treaty, which has been al ready published, has been ratified by the Senate and citizens. _ _ BERLIN, OCT. 6.—lt is new positively decided that the King will not go to Copenhagen before his birth day, which is the 15th of October.

Liberal objections, 34 ; sustained 27. Liberal objections standing over for barrister's decision, until the 21st inst., to which day he has adjourned his court fur the purpose of signing the lists, 2. Tory &aimants, 20 ; sustained 13. Liberal claimants, 16 ; sustained R. Several of the Tory claims were served on the Sunday. The Barrister held such service to be good, but has granted a case for the opinion of the Court •f Common Pleas on this important point. NEWHAVEN, OCT. 11.—FORTUNATE DELIVERANCE. —We are happy in announcing the safe arrival in Eng land of Captain Northwood, whose capture and deten tion by the Moors of the island of Arquin, on the coast of Africa, has lately appeared prominently in several of the public journals. Mr. Northwood is a native of this town, and brother to Mrs. Smith, of the Bridge Inn. He sailed from London in the barque Margaret for Africa, for guano, in April last, taking with him his wife and family ; John Sims, son of Mr. Sims, of the revenue cruizer Tartar, and Alfred Smith, son of Mr. George Smith, of this town, Whilst in search of guano, on the island of Arquin, the Moors gave chase to them, and shot poor Sims through the head. The boat capsized and sunk, and they were all made prisoners, with the ex ception of one man, who was drowned. After ten weeks' captivity, they were ransomed by Captain Isemonger, of the brig Africanus, whose humanity and zealous exer tions saved them from being sent into the interior, where, in all probability, they would have been slaves all their lives. Mrs. Northwood and the remainder of the crew proceeded with the ship to her destination, believing the captain to have been drowned. Letters have been re ceived from her, dated Angra Pequina, stating that they were loading rapidly, and expect to be in England about the latter end of next month. She is still in deep afflic tion, believing Captain Northwood to be drowned. — Brighton Herald. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —AN, EXTRAORDINARY AFFI DAVIT MADE BEFORE THE LORD WAvort. CONCERNING A SURPRISING CURE EFFECTED BY, HOLLOWAY'S OINT MENT AND PILLS !_James. StanlV, living at Long- Ditton, made an affidavit before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion -house, on 'the 14th instant, to the purport that he bad been upon crutches. and bad for two years, with 26 boles in one leg and 14 in the other ; that ha had been into two hospitals and got no relief ; and that, after every other means had failed, he had been radically cured by " Holloway's Ointment and Pills." Sold at the Establishment of Professor Holloway, 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout , the civilised world. STRAND. The American comedian, Mr. Marble, the best representative of the Jonathanisms of his country men, still continues to attract attention at this theatre, and every night appears to obtain flesh honours for him. The spirited proprietor has played his cards to some advantage in obtaining and retaining the services of so excellent a performer, and it shows an increased anxiety on his part to please the English public. That anxiety was displayed again last night, when a new piece was brought forward, en titled Henri de Rochemaine, which gives you some little insight into the scenes that took place during the French Revolution. In this piece Mr. lioberts, the lessee of the theatre, sustained the principal cha racter of Henri de Rochemaine with great effect, and Mrs. Montgomerie excelled herself in the character of Hortense de Bois Robert. The piece was eminently successful, and was announced for repetition b 7 Mr. Roberts amid great applause. The evening s en tertainments commenced with the amusing come dietta of Jonathan in England, a new version of the old farce of Who Wants a Guinea. In th's piece Marble kept the house in roar 3 as Jo nathan Swap, and Halls, as Andrew Bang, made our sides ache with laughter. The evening's amusement concluded with the new farce of Yankee Land, in which the Lop Sap Sago of Marble created many a hearty laugh, and the audience (we are happy to say a numerous one) quitted the theatre apparently highly delighted with their evening's amusement. IVe per ceive, by the bills, that the enterprising lessee has a new treat for the public on Monday next in a piece entitled Don Caesar de Bazan. With such perse verance as Mr. Roberts has shown, he cannot fail to make his project answer. QUEENS THEATfIE. The tragedy of Pizarro was produced last even ing at this theatre, and was very effectively put upon the stage. Mr. Hudson Kirby sustained the cha racter of Rollo with 'Admirable effect. His person ation of this difficult character was energetic and true to nature. The address to the Peruvian army was very effectively delivered, and drew forth ap plause. The bridge scene, too, in the fifth act, was exceedingly well managed. We should not omit to notice how well Mr. Parry played Alonzo. It was a very creditable performance. Miss Rogers, as the gentle, loving Cora, was a delightful representative of Alonzo's doting wife. The tragedy was received throughout with much applause by a crowded audience. ADELAIDE GALLERY. Last night the Adelaide Gallerire-opened, after having been " entirely remodelled and beautifully de corated," with the first of a series of lectures on the dances of all nations. The expounder was Mr. Al fred Ormonde, who formerlyl lectured on Scottish music, aid the " experiments" were performed by a corps of Parisian dancers, who exhibited on "an ap propriate stage," erected for the purpose, embellished with "beautiful scenery," a " splendid new drop scene," and " magnificent costumes." Previous to the lecture there was a concert by the Sax Horn Band, who performed several popular airs very ef fectively, but the great attraction was the experimen tal lecture on dancing. The lecturer was mounted on a platform at the end of the long gallery, and im mediately above him was the ballet laboratory, fitted up in all respects as a stage, with procenium, foot lights, &c. Mr. Ormonde having held forth for a short time on the origin of dancing and on the pecu liar dances of the Greeks, called on Mesdames Jo sephine, Mason, and Fanny Genty, and M. Alexandre Vandris, for their first experiment, illustrative of the classic dance of the Greeks. Next came the experi ment of the Spanish seguidella, with castinet appa ratus, very cleverly performed by Mademoiselles Louise Pierron and Fanny Genty; and so the lec ture proceeded—a little uttering of smart things by Mr. Ormonde, then some dancing by the Pari,ians, until they arrived at the grand climax, the Polka, which was performed in good style by six dancing philosophers. SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—The railroad works are proceeding in the neighbourhood of Dawlish with great celerity. The miners in the tunnel work day and night, and a most animated scene presents itself all along the coast, from Langstone Cliff to Smugglers' Hole, the cliffs of which latter place are the scene of the tunnel. The work of blasting the cliff is carried on with great daring to the astonishment of the natives. On Saturday last one of the most interesting and extensive explosions "came off" under the auspices of Mr. Glennie, who is. Mr. Brunel's chief lieutenant : 1,550 pounds weight of gunpowder was exploded in three separate charges. The miners had made three chambers in the cliff, one a short distance from the head, another near the centre, and the third near the base • the heaviest charge was on the top. The charges were fired by a safety fuse. each being ex ploded one minute later than the preceding. The first charge took off the head of the cliff, vpheaving the great mass with resistless force, and tumbling it into the sea.. The headings were made in the cliff immediately to the westward of Mr. Phillott's beautiful little cove, which it is intended to cross by making two short tunnels through the projected headlands. The face of the cliff to be blown down was about 120 feet high, and the chambers contained altogether about 1,5501b5. weight of powder, the highest being about 650, the next 550, and the lowest about 350 ; another headland was also loaded with about 3001bs. The time fixed was 10 A.m.; the morning turned out favourable, and there was about 50 or 60 parties present, amongst whom were T. B. Short, Esq., of Bickham, and friends, several ladies, Mr. , Har rison, Mr. Dymond, Mr. Dawson, an . d a o t t e h r e w r e g re en a t e T er e a l connected with the railway. timeboats, drewwhich n k n e . p t t beet natives nveryg ladder, respectfulwOenrwere 'saeenndn.distance. diving ascending into ii A t es andtthh ee descending their .happ insecurity , and just that undefined headings and their t fe h e e l ieinnngtgeiornefespetro,stasoiabvtlhee e d th a engsei whole.gr,n c a lm sao h no i d n n e t d h o aftertogivefussesl o , mw a e v rr. e e r very igelighted, pleas ingtneide ~ and then might be o b r e e s d ee is n ta a nt li p tt o le sit m io o n v s e w m e e r n e t, th a o n u d gh sh t if n t e in a g r of places, and enough to see well. After the lapse of eight minutes, the top charge exploded, and heaved up the surface with a deep stifled sound, and down it rushed, in thundering mas ses, to the beach. The second followed with the same effect ; and then the third, which was bedded in the rock, rang out like a ship's broadside blowing the heading out to sea, and shaking down huge fragments that the two first had loosened. It was calculated that about 15,000 tons fell, and quite as much more remained sustained apparently by two points, and which has most probably ere this followed. The last blast was now made ; the part to be blown down was a projecting angle in Mr. Pennell's down, and the result was perfectly successful. The ground heaved up several feet, and then toppled to the beach, where it will form the platform of the railway. The whole sight was magnificent to the spectator, and highly gratifying to the engineer, as testi fying the correctness of his judgment and calculation. Smugglers' Hole is a most romantic spot—the property of Luke Pennell, Esq.—Western Times.
