Mlle. de Rosay and Somo Sierra, who had been started
to make the running for their stable companions, went
away at a dashing pace, with Gueule de Loup and the
favourite following, Fantasia coming last of all. No change
took place until after passing the stables, when the two
leading horses, who had been running a long distance in
advance, fell back, and Fille de l'Air and Poudriere who
had passed Scrupule and had been running fourth, placed
themselves in the van. From this moment the race was re-
duced to a match between those two. They ran alongside
of each other as far as the distance post, when Fille de l'Air
went away and won in a canter by half a dozen lengths.
The same interval separated Poudriere and Fantasia;
Civility was fourth, Scrupule fifth, Perle next, while Mlle.
de Rosay and Somo Sierra tailed off and did not pass the
post.

STRAND THEATRE.

Out of somewhat meagre, and in more than ene respect
rather improbable materials, Mr. J. P. Wooler has con-
structed an amusing and pleasingly written comedietta,
entitled " The Maid of Honour," which was produced last
night for the first time, and met with unequivocal success.
This Whitsuntide novelty is one of those piquant and
agreeable little five-and-twenty-minute pieces which prove
BO attractive to Strand audiences, and scent so well adapted
for the Strand atmosphere. With the aid of charming
scenery, faultless stage accessories, and admirable acting
on the part of Misa Ada Swaaborough and Miss Kate
Carson, who sustained the leading characters, the come-
dietta went off without the slightest hitch, the interest of
the audience being well sustained throughout, and when
the curtain fell the actors and the author were loudly ap-
plauded. Nothing could have been more charming than
Miss Ada Swanborough's portraiture of the gay,
careless, and somewhat mischievous maid of honour,
Countess d'Estrella ; and the Duchess of Canara, in
Miss Kate Carson's hands, was interpreted with consum-
mate ability. Mr. D. James performed, not very satisfac-
torily, Count Leoni, presumed to be an envoy from Prince
Louis of Savoy in search for his Royal master of the Duchess
of Canara, but he ultimately proves to be the Prince him-
self, and it is to his alternate wooing of the Countess and
the Duchess, and the feeling of jealousy engendered in the
mind of the Duchess towards her own youthful cousin and
maid of honour, that the plot derives its main interest.

MEXICO.

The Independence Beige mentions that it has re-
ceived letters from Mexico which give more de-
tailed intelligence than that published by the
French journa's. It says :—" The following is a
summary of the contents of those letters, and both
are in accord on that point. Vidauri, who has
always been the personal adversary of Doblado,
would have refused to place himself in communica-
tion with that chief. Be, after several interviews
which he had with Juavez, he i$ said to have agreed
to give up Monterey to the ex-President, the latter
having manifested the intention of transporting
the seat 'of his Government to that town. He
therefore retired with his troops, in order to
leave Juarez under the protection of soldiers who
had faithfully served him since the commence
meat of those disasters, and in whom he might
have full confidence in the probable eventuality
of his being obliged to :secure his retreat towards
the Rio Grande. What had become of Vidauri
since he evacuated the seat of his Government no
one knew, as at Mexico nobody had any susia'cion
of a fact made known by some letters, that Mejia,
who commands a body of Imperial troops, and who
was in the State of San Luis, had gone to the as-
sistance of the former Governor of Leon and Coa-
huila. At Mexico people are not so sanguine as the
111o2nteur, which declares that the army of Juarez
no longer exists. There, indeed, Ortega is said to
be assembling around him, including the bands of
Doblado and Negrete, from 4,000 to 5,000 men, in
addition to the guerillar libeler the direct command
of Carvajal; Uraga is also said to have entered
Acapalo with from 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers; and,
lastly, as a prcofthat the ex• President has still some
real forces at his disposal, is the fact that the troops
by whom Monterey is occupied are only a detached
corps,

ALIIAMBRA.

The performances at this establishment have been entirely
changed; M. Loisset's circus company have departed to
Cremorne-gardens the circus has been cleared away, and
this noble building is once more opened as a theatre of
varieties. The musical arrangements are under the charge
of Mr Schallen, assisted by M. Kalozdy, the Hungarian
composer, and the band, chorus, and comic and sentimental
singers seem to be well chosen, The leading attraction is
Mdlle, Nathalie—the young French female acrobat, who
excited so much interest here in 1862. Mdlle. Nathalie is
about 12 years of age, and is the daughter of M. Foucart,
the proprietor of one of the best and most highly patronised
gymnastic schools in Paris. The graceful and extraordi-
nary feats performed by this young lady show what high
training may do with a somewhat delicate frame, and illus-
trate the best kind of physical education as practised in
France. The same teaching which has made Mdlle.
Nathalie and her two younger sisters who accompany her,
what they are, is brought to bear upon the Prince Imperial,
and nearly all the children of the French upper classes.
There is nothing " sensational " in the performance of these
three children, and if it has a fault it is far too honest and
legitimate for a theatre or a music-hall.

Jones, Loy'?, and Co.'s Bank,

There is Much of the romance of history in the origin of
some of the great private banking houses still existing in
our days--though all more or less threatened with destruc-
tion by the giant of joint-stock enterprise. The origin,
among others, of the house of Jones, Loyd, and Co. was
very curious. Mr. Lewis Loyd, the founder of the house,
father of the present Lord Overstone, began his career as a
Welsh dissenting minister in a small chapel at Manchester,
the congregation of which included a Mr. Jones, a sort of
half banker half-manufacturer. In addition to Mr. Jones
there was a Miss .I<anes who attended the sermons of the Rev.
Mr. Loyd, and, as often happens, the meiden found
the orations so eloquent that she fell in love with the
preacher. The affection was responded to by the mini.
ster, and the two, fearing the . purse-proud mer-
chant would never consent to the messaliance; were pri-
vately married. Of course, when the affair became known
to Mr. Jones, sen., as it could not fail to do, he was exceed-
ingly angry, but, seeing that things went on pretty com
fortably with his daughter, he became reconciled in the
cud to his revel end son-in-law : but, though fond of
attending sermons, he did not think preaching a good busi-
flea, and after a while proposed that Mr. Loyd should
give up the Welsh Dissenting chapel and enter his count-
ing-house as a partner, under the firm of Jones, Loyd, and
co. Mr. Loyd consented ; and, to extend the business, it
was subsequently agreed that he should go to London, and
establish a bank under the name of the Manchester firm;
so that Jones, Loyd, and Co., of Manchester, might draw
bills upon Jones, Loyd, and Co., of London, or, as it was
facetiously called at the time, " pig upon bacon." It soon
turned out that Mr. Lewes Loyd was eminently fitted to
be a banker, for his clearness of head, untiring industry,
and perfect honesty proved the foundation of success for
the new establishment. After a very long and
honourable career Mr. Loyd retired from business,
being succeeded as head of the London firm by his
son, Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd, who was subsequently created
Lord Overstone. Thus, the falling in love of a young
Manchester girl with a Welsh dissenting minister was the
cause of the establishment of an important bank, besides
leading to the creation of a peer of the realm.—Railway

considerable merit. The dramais of the most exciting
character, and turns upon the valany of a certain M.
tevening
Charles Danville, who, to obtain the absence of his mother
and wife, and afterwards marry the daughter of a wealthy
republican, denounces them to the Republican Tribunal,
which of course decrees them to sutler death. A faithful
friend, however, turns up in the person of Lomaque—the
spy of the Republic—who defeats the schemes of Danville,
and saves both mother and wife from the death to which he
had consigned them, and retribution follows on the would-
be matricide. The drama was well received, Mr. Stirling,
Mr, Edgar, and Miss Fiddes were called before the curtain
and warmly applauded. "The
Three Black Seals" fol-
lowed, and the performances altogether gave great satisfac-
tion to a well and fashionably attended house.

THE OXFORD AND CANTERBURY MUSIC
HALLS.

Notices of Whitsuntide amusements would be incomplete
without a reference to the Oxford and Canterbury. If
Whitsuntide had come a little earlier, the attractions of the
" Tercentenary" would have beguiled the audience of the
Oxford last night; they remain in full force at the Canter-
bury Hall, and we will shortly allude to them. At the
Oxford, however, is to be heard, after the brief interval of
the celebration week, those admirably performed selections
which are the distinguishing features of the great West-
end music hall. "Faust" remains in the programme. to
the delight of all, whether of the admirers of the music
itself or of the thoroughly artistio manner in which it is
presented in the selection. This selection is the chef d' ceuvre
of this establishment, famed as it has been for the produo •
tion of selections from some of the masterpieces of the
musical art. Principals and chorus acquit themselves most
successfully; and no better evidence of the progress which
is making in this country could be furnished than the un-
flagging interest manifested in these productions of operatic
selections. At the Canterbury Hall, the " Tercentenary ;
or, a Night with Shakspere," remains a great source of
attraction. Like the brilliant "Prince Blossom ; or, the
Fairies of the Magic Fountains," the piece is well designed
to display those dazzling optical illusions which go under
the name of " Ghost Effects." It serves also as a vehicle
for the trotting out of a variety of Shakspere's characters,
which crop up in the most agreeable confusion, and receive
embodiment before the magic mirror. Tho bard himself
makes his appearance, and hie corporeal presence, in the
well known attitude at the pedestal, is suggested by a
cc player," whose most ambitious assumption is assuredly
that of the mighty Shakspere. Many of the characters are
sustained with effect. Mr. W. H. Morton and his brother,
Mr. T. Morton, appear in several characters with a success
which must not be less surprising to themselves than to the
audience. Mr. T. Morton's make up as Lear, and his de-
livery of one of the well known denunciations, left nothing
to he desirad, although the nerform.r... was that of an
amateur; and Mr. W. H. Morton, in a semi-serious ora-
tion in vindication of the bard, gave indications of histrionic
talent which frequently flash upon us out of the beaten
track of the purely professional walk in the drama. The
two spectacular pieces were performed last night at the
Canterbury Hall with the customary success, as was shown
frequent and hearty applause which greeted all con-
cerned.bythe frequent

THE CASE OF THE SAXON.—There is a naval
court
martial in sessi9n at the Philadelphia Navy
yard for the trial of Aciing-master Charles Dananhower,
of the United States navy, upon a charge of murder on the
high seas, in shooting
James Gray, mate of the British
bark Saxon, in October last, off the coast of Africa. The
charges are preferred by Mr. Seward, Secretary of State,
upon the information of Lord Lyons, British Minister. The
case was submitted to a court of inquiry, after the return
of the Vanderbilt, on which the accused was serving, .and
he was fully exonerated from blame, and justified for the
act, and the finding of the court, it was understood, was
approved by the Secretary of the Navy. His Lordship, the
British Minister, not being satisfied with the result of the
proceeding 4, has induced the Government to convene a
court•martial for the trial of Mr. Dananhower, and the
case is, as we have said, in process of trial,—.Yeto York.

CREMORNE GARDENS.

Press of matter compels us to postpone an account of the
first Whitsun Gala. The Gardens were crowded from a very
early hour, and all the performances were fully attended.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S.

The sight-seers yesterday certainly did not forget to visit
their old friends in the Baker-street Historical Gallery, and
they were well rewarded for their pains. Nothing could be
more attractive or better worth a visit. Tho rooms were
crowded with visitors all day long. The recently added
effigies of Edward the Second and his Queen, of Henry the
Seventh and his Queen, and of Bishop Wickham, were
objects much admired, from the correctness of their por-
traiture and the splendour of their costumes. The proprietor
had also placed a very admirable figure of Shakspore,
modelled from the Chandos portrait, which was peculiarly
attractive, It is perhaps the best resemblance of the poet
extant.

THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS, REGENT'S
PARK,—The bright sky and genial weather of yes-
terday induced a very largo number of visitors to spend
their Whit-Monday holyday in the Zoological Society's
Gardens. The gates opened to the public at 9 o'clock, and
from that hour till late in the afternoon a continuous stream
of holyday-makers passed through them. The lilacs and
horsechesnut trees, now just in full blossom, varied by the
vivid green of the recently expanded foliage, not yet sullied
by London smoke, presented a charming appearance, and
together with the attractive series of living animals, some
1,700 in number, seemed to be fully appreciated by the
sightseers. At the closing of the gates at sunset it was
ascertained that the total number of visitors had. been
31,107, the largest number ever recorded in one day since
the gardens were opened to the public. It is only right to
add that the conduct of the people was excellent, and that
no cases of misbLhaviour nor of injury to the society's
valuable collection of animals had occurred.
A WELL-BALANCED LADY.—In the course of the
sword poll at New York Fair a lady handed two dollars to

the popularity which Mr. Woodin has earned for himself
among all classes of the community was never more con-

audience in constant laughter.

SURREY.

The entertainments provided at this favourite transpontino
place of amusement were, first, "a most powerful domestic
drama of thrilling interest,"entitled "Cloud and Sunshine,"

c which
from the continued applause with which it has been nightly
received for so long a time, would lead to the inference that
it has found a permanent habitation hero. The fine
weather, so favourable to out-of door amusements and ex-
cursions into the country districts around London, in all
probability had a material effect in thinning the number pre•
sent last evening ; and, although the house was not so
densely crowded as we have known it on fcrmer occasions,
yet there were more than sufficient present to render the
atmosphere agreeable with the present state of the ventila-
tion. But as this defect must be as palpable to the proprie-
tors as it is to the public, and knowing their desire to do
everything which will contribute to the comfort of those
who so liberally patronise them, there can be no doubt that
every effort will be used on their part, before the hot weather
has really set in, to make the house as comfortable as pos-
sible. The new piece of " Cloud and Sunshine" is one well
adapted both to the audience and the performers, and from
the manner in which it was received will no doubt become
as great a favourite as many of its predecessors. The prin-
