Drama.

PRINCE OF NVALEs*S.

A little farce not perhaps required while Ca.te
remains as attractive and satisfying as it does at present,
was produced at this house last night under the title of
Allot: our to Explain. The adapter ,s Mr. W. S. Gilbert,
who acknowledges that be has " altered it from the
French." and it is sufficiently hustlire..; :ind absurd to amuse
the audienee for five-and-twenty minutes. Mr. George
Honey appears in it attired in an orange merino dress ;
Mr. H. W. Montgomery trumps this costume with a blue
merino dreu ; and the rest of the characters. represented
by Mr. Bancroft, Kiss Rose Massey, Miss A. and Mies B.
Wilton. are fashionably attired. We have seen better
farce. and worse. The acting in Coate appears to be more
finished than ever, and Mrs. Leigh Murray, who replace
Kiss I. akin, is a most refined Maripsise.

TATTERSALL'S.—MoNDAv.

Owing to several speculators having taken their depar-
ture for Liverpool, the Subscription Room was not so
numerously attended as it otherwise would have been.
Nevertheless, there was no lack e business, the Liverpool
Cap cominiuiding an extensive amount of epecuLitioa,
although it was chiefly confined to some three or four
bones. As soon as business opened, Regalia was promptly
booked to good money at 10 to 1, and the odds against her
etedily shortened to 100 to 12, at which price she came in
for lib,ral support, and at the finish one large commis-
*loner booked ill the 100's to 12 that were then forth.
coming, and offered to accept it ten times more. Mean-
while, Honesty was almost equally well supported. 10 to
1 was snapped up in every direction, and 1000 to 100 was
taken in one hand, so that subsequently 9 to 1 was in
name instances accepted. The taking of 750 to 200
about the before-mentioned pair coupled still further
confirmed the strong request they were in. The
Peer was in no great demand, neither, on the
other Land, was there any great disposition to lay against
him. In the early part of the afternoon ten fifties were
booked in his favour, but a point more was afterwards laid
against hint, and even this price at the close failed in
finding takers. This retrogression was no luubt entirely
attributable to the large outlays made upon Regalia and
Honesty ; at any rate layers never ventured to offer a
fraction more than the price quoted. Knight of the
Garter was quiet, but met with occasional support at 100
to 7. There was a decided absence of anything like a
demonstration either for or against him. 'aithness was
backed at 500 to :10 twice and list to 6 several times,
nevertheless his price did not improve, an I these Othill
were forthcoming to the close. The Corporal was made
the medium of a good deal of speculation ; 2000 to 100 and
1000 to 60 were booked with a start, and shortly after-
wards the first-named price was accepted uncon-
ditionally. This marked support bad of course the
effect of driving back the stable companion, Mandrake,
against Whom as much as 500 to 10 was at one
time quoted; subsequently, however, he rallied slightly,
500 to 15 being accepted twice. A small bet
was then booked anent his starting, 15 to 10 being laid
that he would not start, but layer and backer appeared
alike confident that be had the bent of it. About Moulsey
3000 to 120 was taken on one hand, and some smaller
transactions at the same rate of odds were concluded.
There was also a great desire to back this horse for a place,
and it was with some difficulty that 5 to 1 was obtained.
At the olds just named (25 to IL Primate, Scipio, and
Ackworth were befriended, but the investments in each
one were limited. Among the forlorn division the name
of Bracken was not once mentioned, while with regard to
Deeming. the owner, who was present in the room,
informed us that he intended to scratch the mare. Upon
the Derby very little was done ; Rosicmcian was backed
for a small amount at 6to 1, 150/. was inves' ed on Har-
vester at 40 to 1, and 2000 to 30 was accepted in favour of
him stable-compassion, Talk-o'-the-1111L Appended are the

BETTING IN LONDON.-MONDAT.

The bulimia at the dabs to-day, although not very
Leavy, was marked by some important features in con-
nexion with the Liverymol Cup. The moat conspicuous
movement we. the backing of Regalia, who at 100 to 8
was supported to win several thousands, and left off
with a very healthy look. Honesty was also in good de-
mand at 100 to 4, and the highest offer against hun at the
finish was 10 to 1. The furore in connexion with Knight
of the Garter appeared to be somewhat cooled down, se
16 to 1 was laid. and even offered at last without finding
takers. Bracken, after being backed eau'', in the morning
at 2500 to 100, was suddenly driven clean out of the
market, an offer of 500 to 5 Snaky meeting with no re-
sponse. Moiling and The Corporal were backed in one
bet to win 1000 each, and some few investments were made
for stnaller sums on the same terms. Closing prices :
