place through the thimble-men, have had the effect of in•
(lacing the following Noblemen, &c., to call publicly upon
the authorities for the suppression of gaming :—The Duke
of Leeds, the Marquis of Cleveland, the Earls Fitzwilliam,
Scarborough, Ilarewood, Carlisle, and Manvers ; Lords
Milton and Morpetb, Sirs W. Milner and J. V. B. John-
stone, and Wood, Esq. In pursuance of this, the cor-
poration have determined to use the most rigorous measure,
for the prevention and punishment of gambling in the town
and on the course. They may probably do souse good,
but cannot possibly do away with the evil altogether.
The betting-rooms are opened in the same style of Wen-
dour as usual : there are already 400 or 500 subscribers. Up
to the time of closing our parcel the odds were as follow :

RT. LEORit.
6 to 5 agst Mr. Chitney's Priam
8 to 1 apt Lord Queensberry's Hassan
12 to 1 agst Mr. Clifton's Moss Rose
I 3 to 1 agst Mr. R. Shepherd's The Cardinal
13 to 1 agst Mr. Petre's Bruniwicker
20 to 1 agst Duke of Leeds's Lady Mowbray

20 to 1 agst Lord Queensberry's Maria
30 to 1 agst Mr. '!'.Shepherd's Revolution
50 to 1 agst Captain Grant's the Balkan
1000 to 10 agst Mr. Itichardson's St. Nicholas

Although entered in Lord Queensberry'. name, Harlan
and Maria are understood to be the property of Mr. Clough
the banker.
The weather continues favourable.

MONDAY MOANING.
Several very important alterations took piece in the St.
Leger betting last night. Priam went back from 11 to
10 to 11 to 8, which was currently offered. Hassan also
gave way. The Cardinal tuking his place with plenty of
friends, Brunswicker and Birmingham were in great
force, while Maria, Lady Mowbray, and Revolution, de-
clined. It is now said that 23 or 24 will start. At the
time of the post leaving, the odds were thus
5 to 4 apt Mr. Chffney's Priam
Si to 1 agst Mr. 11. Shepherd's the Cardinal
0 to 1 agst Lord Queensberry's Dusan
13 to 1 agst Mr. Beardsworth's Birmingham
12 to 1 agst Mr. Petre's Brunswleker
12 to 1 agst Mr. Clifton's Moss Rose
24 to 1 agst Lord Queensberry's Maria
30 to 1 agst the Duke of Leeds's Lady Mowbray
50 to 1 agst Mr. T. Shepherd's Revolution
50 to 1 agst Captain Grant's the Balkan
1000 to 10 agst Mr. llouldsworth's Beagle.

TATTERSALL'S.
In consequence of the Doncaster races, very thin attend-
ance of uninfluential parties, and little or nothing done.
The London prices are now entirely regulated by the ac-
counts from Doncaster.

LITRRATURE.

RETHOSPECTIONS OF THE STAGE.
By the late JOHN BZUW Alt%
TWO TOLL• aotirwm,

The " Retrospection*" which Mr. ,Bernard
has here thrown over the English Stage, com-
prise a survey of its most entertaining peenliari-
les during a period of 23 years (from 1774 to
1797), a period including more of striking
theatrical talent than can probably ho equalled
by any other of similar extent in our annals,—
His subsequent career was on the other side of
the Atlantic, and remains for future record, if,
is his Son and Editor states—but because, as
we would venture to say—the reception of the
present volumes shall warrant the proceeding.—
l'he taste of the majority of readers can hardly
fail to derive much gratification from the work
before us, where subject succeeds to subject,
story to story, jest to jest, with a butterfly light-
ness, and gaiety, and grace, that leave no in-
terval for languour or satiety. The introduction
of various non-theatrical characters contributes
to diversify agreeably the professional reminis-
cences : thus we have lively records of members
of the Beef-steak Club, curious incidents of the
early days of Sir Thomas Lawrence, &e. We
subjoin, by way of extract, a passage in. the
life of the Earl of Bristol, who was like wire
Bishop of Derry, and fond of (a) good living :
" At breakfast the Earl felt unwell, and, attributing it
to his non-compliance with his usual custom (bathing),
blamed his domestic, an Irish giant of a valet (a fellow as
muscular as he was tall, who had been in his service many
years, and dischsrfed the duties of waking hiin in the
morning, and waiting on him to the bath), for nut com-
pelling him to bathe, whether lie wished it or not, know-
ing that such an act was conducive to his master's health.
' Teddy,' said he, you know what benefit I have derived
from bathing, and you know very well that when a wan,
is inclined to sleep he will sacrifice anything to enjoy lac
bed. Another morning, when you find me unwilling to
rise, take me up in your arms—you are 'bong onongh—
and carry me to the bath !' • Very well, Sir,' said Teddy,
I'll remember.' The following morning Teddy, true to
his duty, came into the Earl's chamber, anti awoke hint
to take the bath ; but his master was as little inclined to
rise on this occasion as before, and moreover felt displeased
at being so hastily summoned from a beautiful panteminie
that was performing in the play-house of his brain. But
Teddy was not to be put off or got rid of, and insisted ott
his getting up. 'I tell yea I shall not rise this niorning,
Sir,' said the Earl. But you inset rise!" Must! gt
out of the room, you reseal !' By the powers, l'll de to
such thing.' Am I not your master ?" Doti I know
it's for your health ?" I command you, Sir.' i Yee,
but, pima your Grace, you are either nut awake now, e r
you're nut sensible of what you're saying ; and if I let yult
slope now, don't I know very well that at breakfast you'll
be scowlding me again, as you did yesterday ? So conic
along, my Lord, 'tis no use your kicking and bawling—.
you must come and bathe yourself.' Saying which, he
quietly took the Earl up in his arms, as he would have
done a lap-dog, and carrying him to the tub, plumped
him in it. The latter, knowing it was no use to struggle
in such a situation, when the shock was over called fur
soap and towels."

This immersion into the book has been so
long a one, that it forbids us to dip any further :
but we would prescribe to our readers to do this
for themselves, as an assured means of washing
away the stains of " green and yellow melan-
choly," and obliterating the traces of care.

A French wit observed that he made it a rule
never to go late to a friend's dinner, the interval on stielt
occasion bring generally employed in 'dissecting the absen-
tees. The same objection applies to going away hest.

Sweden and Switzerland are the only coi).-
tries of Europe having no national debt ; an exemption,
however, which dm not seem materially to advance their
wealth or prosperity,

It is remarkable that, since the commence'
meet of the present year, half the reigning Prince, of

Extract of a letter from Brussels, dated Friday,
evening, Sept. 17, 1850 :—" There is the greatest order
and union, which constitute the strength of the isliattitintr.
On Tuesday evening the Kina's Speech to the Stain.
General, was received here, and caused such indignation
that they burnt it on the public place failing the Hotel de
Ville. The Garde Bourgeoise is the only force upon duly,
and the Brabant flag has replaced the Orange. it is tit-
colour-..Woe, orange, and red—and is displayed every,
where, Last week there war a procession to the field of
Waterloo, front a neighbouring village, sea plaut the tri-
colour flag upon the tuonnuaeat which was erected to tout-
memorate the battle. I saw it there yesterday. The KINtl
seems to be badly advised is treating these people au cava-
lierly, in calling their demands the result of a riot ; as if
the wish to be separated front Holland were not general
throughout Belgium. Should the States-General side, as
expected, with the Ktxtes party, there will certainly be a
breeze here. The Members likely to defend the interests
of Belgium are reckoned in a considerable minority, whether
proceeding from their being overawed, or from the influence
of the Court in the elections. Nothing less than a separate
Administration, at least, will be listened to by the Belgians.
It is generally believed that a Congress will be held at either
Cologne or Aiz-la-Chapelle, as being centrical towns, before
the winter, to take the late changes into con.ideration.
Resolutions have been sent from the Muuicipal Body to
the Hague, in reference to the &ma's speech, and an
answer is looked for to-morrow. —.Morning Chronicle.

A file of New South %Vales Papers has arrived.
These papers are full of trials for libel and misdemeanour.
Mr. E. S. HALT., of the Alimitor, had succeeded in tw*
astions at common law, one against the Magistrates who
had convicted him of harbourieg an assigned servant, and
the other against another Magistrate fur improperly re.
moving an auigned servant from his service. About the
same time Mr. HALL ressived the sentence of the Court in
three libel eases, in which ha hat been senvieted ; thou
sentences were one of nine, sad two ef six mouths' imprison-
