HAYIWtKET.

An 4.1 fr;end (from the French) with a new face,
was produced at this house last night, under the title of Tlc
Winuin•) Card—a one act comedietta that depends upon
the dry hutuour of Mr. Compton and one of those tasteful
set-scenes that the eye never tires to look upon. A revival
of l'eu Ltty., in Danger might have answered the puritose
of the manaivalent as well, but Mr. Buckstone probably
knows his own business best. Mrs. Scott•Siddons has cen-
eluded her engagement at this house, and Miss Amy
Sedgwick h.ut returned, and appears in 77,c Unequal
Matra.

CRYSTAL PALACZ.—A display of fireworks and 1
illumination of fountains on a grand scale will be given
to-morrow evening ; the company.* orchestral band and
the band of the Coldstream Guards will perform during
the afternoon ; the Arab troupe, now at the palace, will
give one of their representations after the display. The
palace will be illuminated until half-past e.
POLYTEIIINIC INSTITUTION.-1R addition to the
usual attractive entertainments of this popular and in-
strinitive place of amusement, a new aeries of dissolving
views we. introduced yesterday evening. The object was
to illustrate Praed• well known poem of " Lurley," and
in the hands of such artists as Messrs. Hills and O'Connor
it is almost needless to say that full justice was done to
the varied beauties of Rhine scenery, through which the
action of tLe poem passe.. The recitation of the poem
by Mr. Millard was much approved of, and the music,
in which bliss Reeves sustained the principal part, elicited
loud and general applause. Of the other principal
feature of the evening's entertainment, the lecture by the
professor himself on the French Exhibition, too much
cannot be said in the way of commendation. Taken together.
the leetere and the views, they are nearly as good as a
good view it the Exhibition itself, and they are certainly
mash better than • bad or hasty one. Mr. Pepper stated
sow startling facts as to the successful contests which
French at..l Re!gian houses were waging with English
essaufactuters in the production of locomotives, and
*then of the more ponderous productions of industrial
art ; but at the same time noted, as a curious contra-
diction, that London goldsmiths were not unlikely to steal
a march on the French in what has hitherto been looked
upon as • Parisian specialty. In illustrating this, he
exhibited some magnified photographs of machine-made
gold bracelet., brooches, Ste., from the atelier of
a firm in London, the excellent designs and artistic
workmanship of which *tuned to take the audience quite
by aurpriao. In other parts of the building the electrical
piano electrified the company, and the automatic Leotard
far surpassed the real one in the daring character of his
exploits.

PNEFARINO FOR A PRIN,E.—The expected vilkit
of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh bas been
the prevailing topic of ooneersation for the list month.
The pearde of Adelaide, which city is the first on the
visiting list, are in great excitement, and every day brings
tiding. of some fresh project for the entertainment of the
ulnae. In Melbourne, and Victoria generally, the same
interest is felt, and nothing tut bslls, illuminations, fetes,
regatta., rand reviews are talked of on all sides- A sum of
]MOD,. has been voted by the Assembly to defray the ex-
penses of the public entertainments to be given in Mel-
bomoie, and great }.reparations are being made to do ho-
nour to the royal visitor. His Excellency Sir Henry, Blau.
ners Sutton is effecting considerable enlargements in Go-
vernment-house, where his royal highness will stay during
his Tint to the city. A public ball is to be given in the
Exhibition-Mating, and the members of the Melbourne
Club also propose to expend a considerable sum in an
entertainment of like character. The front of the
Treasury.huildings is being improved by material
additions to the entrance and portico, and a general
review of volunteers, together with a regatta on a large
scale by the shipping interest of Sandridge, are talked of.
Advertisements for transparencies, stars, and illuminated
designs ore put forth on all sides, and the most strenuous
efforts are being made to do justice to the "queen city of
the south." The perks and public reserves swarm with
gardeners and workmen, who are continually pLinting,
treasplaoting, and improving, and each mail from up.
country districts brings fresh tidings of the increasing ex-
citement. In Geelong, Mendip, Sandhurst, and Castle-
maine numerous projects are being canvassed ; hut Ballarat
—the mining metropolis of Victoria—is the meet enthu-
siastic of all. A banquet on a gigantic scale, a triumphal
arch in each of the boroughs, and a regatta at Lake Lear-
month being onion the list of entertainments. It is also
reported that a patriotic gentleman, Mr. John Winter, has
offered to contribute MO/. towards the formation of a
Highland brigade for the purpose of welcoming his royal
linus in Scottish fashion. Ties prince is not expected
to arrive in the colony before the end of November, and
by the next outgoing mail we shall doubtless bare occasion
to speak of more particular and special preparation, the
present torrent of suggestions having become a little law
violent, and tending to some snare definite result.—.lld-

AN INTERNATIONAL PRESENT.—The National
Walnut Institution has decided to present the fine life-
boat, 33 feet long, its transporting earring. and full equip-
ment of stores (which have been exhibited since May but
at the International Industrial Exhibition at Paris), to the
French Shipwreck and Lifeboat Society. It is probable
the lifeboat will be stationed at Calisic a city which,
besides being visited by many French and English vessels,
is also one of the great ports of interomumunication be-
tween the two countries. It may lo &illicit that the Em-
press Eugenie is the patios of the French Lifeboat Society,
and it is but a few days since that the Briti.h public were
startled by the intelligence that the Empress and the
Prince Imperial had unfortunately nearly lost their lives
by drowning oa the coast of France. The pilot in charge
of the yacht's boat unhappily perished in his noble and
successful attempt to save the life of the Empress and the
Prince on the oesnsion.

TATTERSALL'B.-MONDAY.

The Ceaarewiteh settling passed off satisfactorily. There
may have been isolated oases of asking for time, but the
percentage of money unpaid upon that receivable was Qom.
paratively small. Notwithstanding the time that was
absorbed in the adjustment of accounts, there was a great
deal of betting, several horses being supported for the
Cambri.leeshire with wonderful spirit. Honesty was the
favoarite, but he was out mecca for any large aumouut at
money; bookmakers would lay no more than a to 1, and at
these odds some small investments were made, which
would have been increased had oto I been obtainable.
But, under any circumstances, there was no very great de-
sire manifested to back the Dike of Hiunilton's colt.
Meanwhile his stable companion, Julius, was moderately
befriended, but the real state of the case seemed
to be that backers were in doubt as to which was likely to
be the right one, and so they were afraid to back either for
much. Knight of the Garter was in great force; he was
several times invested upon at 100 to 7 and 100 to $, and
just at the finish 1,000 to 80 was accepted three times.
Acta:a was substantially, although quietly supported.
1,000 to 70 was laid twice, .500 to 35 three or four times,
and any number of 100's to 7, this price in the end being
no longer forthcoming. Friponnier and Wroughton were
also in fair request at 100 to 7 each, but of those men-
tioned it ma here be noted that Knight of the Garter,
Actea, and Wroughton are apparently three of the most
genuine horses that ever figured in the betting. The
second rank was headed by Lozenge, about whom 22 to 1
was taken kindly to a fair amount of money, and Attack
colt, after finding a supporter at 3,000 to 100, was backed
at 30 to 1. Valorous and Ammunition came next,
1000 to 30 being taken three or four times about
each. lllinkhoolie, against whom as little as 20 to 1 was at
one time laid, declined subsequently to the outside figure
of -10 to 1, which was laid to .501. At 1001/ to 15 the Duke
of York met with occasional support, and 500 to 5 was
taken about Archimedes. The owner of Captain Kidd
backed his horse to win 3,0001. at the small outlay of 50/.,
and for a like investment Leases was supported to win
10,0001. We did not bear any betting on the Derby, and
a long and busy afternoon came to a close with the under-
mentioned results. A great im, rovement has been effected
in the room by the substitution of an alphabetically
arranged list of the accounts to be settled by deputy and
those who settle them. Formerly this important 'sive,
!nation was made known by attaching small slips of paper
to the notice board, which altogether gave an infinity of
trouble, and occasioned a great loss of time.

BETTING IN LONDON.—MONDAY.
After a great portion of the very heavy settling had been
got through at the club". speculators turned their attention
to wagering. The Cambridgeshire formed the centre of
attraction, and the betting was not only heavy, but took
a wide range. Honesty continued brat favourite,
but he went rather shiftily, for after 7 to 1
bad been accepted, 800 to 100 was hid, and for
some time these odds were offered ; towards the close,
however, his friends showed more confidence, and be left
off at Bto 1 taken. Julius, although not backed for much,
was second favourite; 500 to 40, 100 to 8 several times,
and ten fifties, " with a start," representing the business
done in his favour. Wroughton was agiun made the
medium of some first-rate investments, and in the course
of the morning must have been supported to win close
upon 10,0001. Knight of the Garter ism' in fair demand
at 1,000 to GO and 100 to 6, while Friponnier, for small
amounts, was laid against at a point less. Dlinkhoolle
had would-be supporters at 20 to 1, hut layers offered no
more than 25 to 1. Ammunition found friends at 1,000
to 30 two or three times, and 100 to 3 in several direc-
tions. In the °ours° of the morning Thalia was brought
into the betting, and after 50 to 1 had been laid to 200/. or
3001., 40 to 1 wag accepted. Archimedes was also backed
at 1,000 to 15 and 1,000 to 12, and Proserpineat 1,000 tols.
The morning's business concluded with the backing of the
Duchess, whom one speculator supported at 5,000 toso and
5,000 to 75. Several bets as to horses starting, Sm., were
made, and will be found appended to the following quota.
