THR EXPRESS,

taut turns oat the contrast between a wife who
Ilea preserved the romantic feelings of love and
of a husband who him lost the bloom of his first elections
during an absence of five years as a captain in the naval
service. The eztravegsnea is founded on the Gorman fairy
isles of Gammer Crofts''.

A very painful incident took place during the per-
formance of it, and contributed no doubt to mar Ito
success. Mr. H. Seymour, who represented Jolinosia, the
miller, fell down is a fit after the prism scene, when be
had retired behind the mem& It was noticed that he had
not reappeared, es he ought to have done, in a subsequent
scene, and it was only when Mr& Selby came on the stage
in the character of the grandmother that the cattle of
Mr. Seymour'n absence was explained. It was with regret
we learned at the close of the piece that Mr. Seymour was
not only seized by a fit, but that he died. This was Mr.
Seymour's fint appearanoe at this theatrei and when
he appeared in the character of the miller he seemed to be
not only full of life, bat full of energy. This unfortunate
occurrence naturally damped the spirit of the actors, and
when Mr.Barnand was called before the curtain, he informed
the audience without, however, announcing the death of
Mr. Seymour, that the piece was played under peculiarly
unfavourable circumstances. A short and amusing farce

by Mr. Walter Gordon, caned An Odd La, ter:Meats&
the performances.

ASTLEYS.

"With new and powerful mechanical and scenic
effects. a great and intensely interesting sleasaMnal drama
in three acts, comprising a series of highly picturesque
tableaux, entitled Rosalie, or the Chaim of Crime." Such
is the piece with which Mr. K. T. Smith re-opens this
theatre ; and its style, as we have taken it from the play-
bill, will serve the same end as Mr. Puts clock—it will
save a great deal in the way of description.
The writer, or producer, Mr. Higgie, is also the writer and
constractor of the second piece, the Trap of Gold, wherein
is set forth, in plain prose, wholly guiltless of a pun, the
loves of Maunichea and Pipelee, a Danish youth and
maiden. The burden of the piece falls upon the Roesrecht
(M. Milano) and Mile Fancy Brown, who dance several
astounding las together.

TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 29,

. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—MONDAY.
There was a very good attendance this af barman, the only
approach to the subsarptioe room briog literally docked up,
and the room itself scarcely less free from the du/ore/am
of a dense crowd. There being no settling to occupy at-
tention, by way of prelude, business commenced at once
with the Northamptonshire Stakes, for which Lord Zetland
was barked torso much money at 100 to 3 that it looked as
if his party considered the race already over. Gardener had
also a hest of adherent', who stuck to him to the
finish, although, however, the taking price, 5 to
1, was obtainable before the room broke up. The
very favourable report of Costa's latest performance
bad the effect of making him a great favourite, and at 10 to
Ihe was supported to several hundred pounds. Fairwater,
proverbial for her slow but sure draws in the betting
quotations, came to 11 to 1, at which price she too was
backed to win a good stake. The scratching of Blith6eld in
the morning put many out of their misery, although indeed
her position for some tints back clearly fortold what the
fate of bin backers would ultimately be. For the Derby S
to 1 to 2001. was noted in favour of Scottish Chief, and 1,000

quire no comment. Closing prices :
