HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A petite comedie, in one act, entitled A. Novel Expe.
dient, was brought out last night with unequivocal suc-
cess. Three persons only are involved in the action.
The principal of these is Mrs. Charles Moore (Mrs.
Stirling), who is greatly annoyed by the addition to
her manage of an intimate friend of her husband, named
Damon (M i
r. Leigh Murray). This intruder criticises
her drawings,
gives his opinion. as to the paper which
should decorate the drawing-room, and, what is
more than all, constantly takes out her husband on
fishing expeditions. She hints to Charles (Mr.
Howe) that Damon's departure would be acceptable,
but finds him inexorable on the point. She, there-
fore, resolves to employ some new device, and
is furnished with a hint in a letter from an absent
aunt, who always wishes to uphold the domestic
supremacy of woman. The good aunt counsels her, by
reference to an episode in Lesage, to declare to Damon
that she is secretly enamoured of him, and that there-
fore he is bound, as a man of honour, to quit the house.
Damon at first falls into the trap, and is actually going,
when he picks up the aunt's letter by accident, and per-
ceiving the real state of the case alarms Mrs. Moore by,
feigning a reciprocal passion. A little unpleasant alter-
cation with the husband ensues, but an explanation
clears up all difficulties, and Mrs. Moore, cured of her
love of domination, resolves not to disturb her husband's
friendship for Damon. The piece is elegant and well
written, and excellently played as it is by Mrs. Stirling,
Mr. Leigh Murray, and Mr. Howe, produces an agree-
able effect.

POOR HOOD!
WRITTEN AT ICENSAL-GREEN CEMETERY.
(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
What gorgeous cenotaphs arise,
Of Parian shrine and granite vault,
Whose blazoned claims on purer skies
Shut out all earthly flaw and fault.
Who lies below yon splendid tomb
That stretches out so broad and tall?
The worms will surely ne'er exhume
A sleeper locked within such wall.
And see, that other stately pile
Of chiselled glory, staring out;
Come, Sexton, leave your work awhile,
And tell us what we ask about.
Sol ono belongs to him who held
A score of trained and tortured steeds;
Great Circus Hero, unexcelled!—
On what strange stuff Ambition feeds.
The other guards the last repose
Of one who shone by juggling craft;

Methinks when such a temple rose
How Esculapius must have laughed.
And see that tomb beneath yon tree!—
But, Sexton, tell us where to find
The grave of him we came to see;—
Is it not here, or are we blind?
We mean poor Hood, the man who made
That song about the " Bridge of Sighs ;"
You know the song I well, leave your spade,
And please to show us where he lies.
What, there I without a single mark,—
Without a stone, without a line,—
Does watchfire Genius leave no spark
To note its ashes as divine ?

Must strangers come to woo his shade,
Scanning rare marbles as they pass ;
And, when they pause where he is laid,
Stop at a trodden mound of grass ?
And is it thus ? well, we suppose
England is' far too poor to spare
A slab of white, where truth might write
The title of her Poet-Heir.
Let us build pillars strong and high,
On which the sculptured form is sot ;
And when our growing sons ask why,
Name Royal Duke and Royal Debt.
Let us raiso statues far and near,
Amid our busiest highways,
Colossal yonder—life-like here—
Where all the world may pass and praise.
And when Posterity asks who
We bore so far from Lethe's flood,
Let Record couple Waterloo
With one whom Fame baptized in blood.
Let us adorn our city walks
With idiot king and senate chief,—
Carve toga-folds and laurel stalks,—
There's something grand in robe and leaf.
But Hood—" poor Hood!"—the poet fool
Who sung of Woman's woes and wrongs,
Who taught his Master's Golden Rule,—
Give him no statue for his songs.

Of heart-born flowers that never die;

In every human Toil-wrung sigh.

Give the bold Quack his charnel-throne,—

To worship at a nameless heap,
And sadly, fondly, say " Poor Hood!"

MR. SECRETARY WALPOLE.—This Honourable
and Learned Gentleman seems destined to get into continual
scrapes through putting a literal interpretation on the jocular
observations of the Noble Premier. Last evening the dinner
hour of the Ministerial White Bai banquet at Greenwich
was fixed for seven o'clock, but,t we are informed by a
morning contemporary, in consequence of Mr. Walpole
having misunderstood, or rather taken literally, a casual
suggestion of the Noble Premier, that, out of compliment to
the Duke of Richmond, a Protectionist Ministry should dire
at the Star and Garter, at Richmond, the party did not sit
down until past eight, at which time the Home Secretary,
having discovered his error, arrived by special train.

day

REMARKS ON THE RACING AT CARLISLE
AND CHELMSFORD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—A curious misstatement crept yesterday into
my remarks on Chief Justice's running for the; Free
Handicap, at Carlisle ; somehow or other the words
"fast grey colt Puritan" were, by some extraordinary
means, transmuted into "fast filly Lady Agnes."
.The
error must have been palpable, however, to all racing
men, as the Return Lists only gave four starters, and
Lady Agnes's name did not figure amongst them.
Dawson yesterday brought his much-talked-of Red
Lion out, for the first time, to win the Cumberland
Plate, which he did very cleverly, from Lindrick
and several others. He is spoilt for the Ebor
Handicap, by the town talk having caused him
to be weighed at sst 121 b, a very heavy appreciation
of his merits in my opinion, He will probably be struck
out for that race. His chance at Goodwood is not
altogether bad, but at the weight I should prefer Heu.
lakin.

The Hylands Stakes at Chelmsford decided the
merits of Pug Orfock; for, after one of the prettiest
races of the seaaon, Vaultress, carrying Bst 101 b, just
managed to defeat Pug Orrock and Defiance, which last
two carried Bst 71b each, and ran a dead heat for
second place by a head; that. bead, in my opinion, being
Alfred Day's more then the filly's. It is very evident
that through Vaultress having been prepared so early in
the season she is already beginning to grow stale, and
probably will get worse and worse every race she runs,
spoiling likewise her chance of doing anything good
next season.

In the olden times two years old racing commenced
with the Newmarket July Meeting, instead of in March,
as is now the case. In this particular I think the
Turfites of the past generation bad the start of us in
wisdom, for no practical racing man can deny that it
must damage the future chances of a race-hone by
being brought out at two years old so early as March.
I did intend publishing my comments on the July
Meeting to-day, but for very potent reasons lam ob-
liged to defer the same until to-morrow.—l am, &e.

Two deaths from cholera occurred on the same day,

Of 9 deaths ascribed to the organs of locomotion in
the present return 1 was caused by arthritis, 5 by
rheumatism, and 3 by undefined diseases of the joints.
Of the 24 lives destroyed by small-pox last week 20
were those of children, 4 those of adults. It is reported
in three cases that the sufferers bad been previously
vaccinated, and the ages of these were 7, 21, and 28
years. At 222, High-street, Shadwell, on 23d
June, the daughter of a beer-shop keeper, aged one
year and 6 months, died of " small-pox, not vac-
cinated, no medical attendant?' Mr. Rose, the
Registrar, adds, " I regret to state that this loath-
some disease still continues very rife in my district."
At 18,
Bethnal•green•road, on 25th June, the son of a
weaver, aged 7 years, died of "confluent small. pox
(16 days).” Mr. Briggs dates that " he had been
successfully vaccinated ; two other children living
with the above were also vaccinated, and have not
been affected." At the Hornceopathic Hospital, 32,
Golden-square, on the 13th Juue, a female servant,
aged 21, died of " variola confluent (7 weeks))
laryngitis and larnygeal abscess (7 days)." Post
mort. The medical attendant remarks that " the de-
ceased was sent from Ground-street, Lambeth ; she
bad been vaccinated ; there was a good cicatrix ; she
had recovered from small-pox, but exposing herself to
the cold air, laryngitis ensued."
Mr. Long, the Registrar of the South sub-district
of Chelsea, registered 14 births but no deaths during
the week. He draws attention to the unusually
healthy state of the sub-district, in which, though
it
numbers upwards of twenty thousand inhabitants he
has not been called to register a single death, not-
withatgading may pgtki of it are densely crowded by

very poor persons, who live in localities without tho-
roughigre, and where the drainage and ventilation
are had.

Nine children were registered, who at various
previous dates had been suffocated in bed. Mr.
Simpson, Registar of the North sub-district of St.
Giles-in-the-Fields, registered four deaths that had
occurred in this manner at the respective ages of 3
weeks, 2 months, 4 months, and 9 months, on Ist, 2d,
sth, and Bth of May. He refers to the fact that
inquests were held on the same day on three out of
the four cases. Oa the 224 June at St. Bartholo-
mew's METPaI, a copper filer and turner, aged 18
years, died of "carbuncular inflammation of the upper
lip." A widow, aged 73 years, died of " inflamma-
tion of the right arm from the prick of a pin." At
11, Globe-road, Bethnal-green, the widow of a mast-
maker, is reported to have died on 18th June at the
great age of 100 years and 2 mouths. Five persons
were registered as the victims of imtemperance, be-
s idea two others whose deaths were indirectly caused
by the same vicious habit.

DREADFUL MURDER AT SAWLEY.
(From the Derby Mercury of yesterday.)
On the eve of our going to press, we have received in-
formation of a fearful crime which was perpetrated yes-
terday (Tuesday), at a lone cottage in the neighbour•
hood of Sawley. The particulars which we have et
present been ahle to obtain are necessarily very meagre;
but, from what we can gather, the following is something
like an outline of the facts :
It appears that an elderly couple, of the name of
Waters or Walters, lived in a solitary cottage upon Mr:
Thompson's farm, in the lane between Sawley and
Wilne, and about midway from either place. The
husband, a labourer, was employed in hoeing turnips on
the farm, and his wife—e woman of about 60 years of
age—bad been, in the morning, to Draycott, shopping'
Sac must, on her realm, have found the culprit in tlie
cottage, for the flour and other articles which she ban
been purchasing were found on the door-step outside;
and the supposition is that she had found the mut':
derer in the act of plundering the house, and that
he must immediately have commenced the attack upon
her. Some boys were in the neighbourhood at the
time, and one of them, about 14 or 15 years old, hese_
ing a noise, went to the cottage, where he saw a strange
man beating the poor old woman with a hatchet or,
some other heavy weapon. The man caught sight of
him, and said he would stick him; and the boy imrenr
diately ran off to Wilne Mills to give an alarm. A nun'
.ber of people immediately hastened from thence, and on,
their arrival they found the windows and furniture of
the house had been smashed, and the strane man ~
L
still inside. A woman had also seen him beating ills
poor creature, and had gone away alarmed ; 5°
another boy, who had turned back from his aasocia,te;
had seen him carry the body across the yard. P
had, however, found time to bury the body in 0
dung-heap, but a portion of one leg remained ups
covered, which led to its discovery. The murderer 1151
placed an inverted trough over his head. He resist%
for some time all ingress into the cottage; but ;
boy threw a stone through one of the window-pane; which had been broken, and hit him over the eye' causing a severe wound and knocking him down.
"h
was at once seizuel and placed in safe custody. A
body of the murdered fenaelo was quite cold when found.
She appeared to have been dreadfully beaten about the
head and face. The murderer is an entire stranger;:,
the neighbourhood, and he refuses to give his vane'
though he says he comes from Suffolk. He appesrg„.°
be about 25 years old, end five feet seven or eight inches
high. He had no coat, waistcoat, shoes, or stockifibi'
but he wore a checked shirt and trousers. The dread
ful occurrence seems to have taken place about half-105
one o'clock in the afternoon. A hatchet was afterward;,,,
found in the yard. The floor of the house wag eiTa
vered with blood, and some human hair was I°°"ea
on the wall. He refused to say anything about t't
crime, but appeared to the bystanders either drunk
insane.

We understand that Ur. Whiston, coroner for the dig
triet, received information of the offence in the evclloo'
and that he at once proceeded to Sawley.

A CORSICAN HUSBAND.
An arrival from Corsica (everybody is liravia
thence just now, for that little island has become
quite the fashion) has filled the salons of Paris with
osa
a fresh interest ; the more so as it is underst
0141
that this coming man is anything but welcome
in high quarters. A few years ago Count _,
was in possession of the three things most d..eo,
to the heart of man in every clime under the s',„,
namely, great consideration, a magnificent estr.,
and a lovely wife. Of all these the estate alone
mains ; and it is evidently to re-acquire the other twof
that he has made the journey to Paris, in search if
the prefecture in Corsica. The story is so peculinstirhje
Corsican soil, that it is really worth relating. Count married in 1846, not only one of the riches heiresses, but, moreover, the greatest beauty in "",:l
island. For two years the "happy couple" seeroe
to live in the enjoyment of every species ;
bliss which matrimony never fails to promise
victims before surrender. The Count was all tePci derness and attention, the Countess all devotion confidence. Nothing occurred to mar their loProi ness save now and then some slight difference, g
opinion, which would arise, always upon salve'? subjects though, between the Count and his young, brother, en officer of dragoons, who had taken tli`%
