HAYMARKET THEATRE.

As might have been expected in the case of so great a public
favourite, Mr. Buckstone was honoured at his benefit last
night with a crowded house and a most enthusiastic recep-
tion. The entertainments comprised Mr. Planche's drama
The Knights of the Round Tabie, which has reached its
thirty-sixth representation ; a ballet divertissement, a new
farce, entitled As Like as Two Peas, and the favourite
old one of The Turnpike (late. The novelty was a de-
cided success, and will doubtless raise many a hearty
laugh for sonic time to come. The piece turns upon
the escapades of a certain Mr. Richards, a barrister, who
persuades his confiding wife that it is not he who has
been seen at masquerades, casinos, dc., but some fast man
who resembles him so closely that they are "as like as two
peas." Among other libertinisms, Mr. Richards has been
making love, under the pseudonym of Mr. De DunStanville,
to a supposititious widow, which lady, however, turns out to
be a certain Mrs. Pritchards, who has left her husband in con-
sequence of some disagreement, and is seeking for a legal
separation. For this purpose she calls on Mr. Richards, and
of course recognises in him her admirer. An explosion en-
sues and the banister's too confiding wife is enlightened, and
a plot concerted to confOund the rakish husband. On his
next entry, Mr. Richards is received by his wife with expres-
sions of wonder at his resemblance to her husband. All his
explanations are useless, as he has on his finger a ring
given to hint by the supposed widow, who has com-
municated the fact to the wife. The double-dealing
husband is thus so completely convicted, that he is
compelled to deny his own identity, and at last is ignomini-
ously expelled from his own house as an impostor. When he
re-appears he is reminded by his wife of certain attentions and
endearments on his part of which he has uo recollection, but

perplexity when caught in his own trap, and forced to admit
that he was his own double. Compton as the army con-
tractor, who had imbibed a taste for the military air and
manner, was excessively droll—his assumption of the martial
swagger and ferocity was admirable; while Mrs. Buckingham
and Mrs. Fitzwilllam made a most interesting pair of injured
wives. No announcement was made of the authorship of the
farce, which was given out for repetition amidst unmixed
applause.

FAILURE.—A failure of a dealer was announced in the
Stock Exchange yesterday connected with the settle-
ment in foreign stocks and shares. Out.ef doors there
was an extremely active deniand for money, arising
from temporary causes, such as always prevail from the
heavy adjustment of accounts at the end of a half-year.
CONTINENTAL ExcfraNGrs.--The continental ex-
changes continue with a favourable appearance, although
some small parcels of gold are still sent to Paris. The
time required at the French mint for coinage is now 46

1,800,0001. At Hamburg there has been an improve-

paper circulation, but afterwards in silver.
.EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—lnformation has been received
by the police of a serious robbery effected on the pre-
mises of Messrs. Swaine, Job, and Co., merchant tailors,
379, Oxford-street, from whence the thieves contrived
to carry off two Bank of England notes for 51. each,
and one 5/, note of the Kingston Bank, endorsed with
the name of " Birch," about 151. in gold, six black and
gold mixture paletots, a black dress coat, a blue frock
coat, several pairs of trousers, and numerous articles of
gentlemen's clothino., besides sundry pieces of plate, en-
graved "J.S. ' One of the thieves is described as being
about 21 years of age, 5 feet high, dark hair and eyes,
and was dressed in a mixture coat, coloured trousers,
black hat, and wore _an Albert chain. A reward has
been,offered for their apprehension.
THE HENLEY REGATTA. -- Yesterday being the
"grand day" a very numerous assemblage of company
were attracted to witness the ort. The rowing com-
menced at two o'clock with the final heat for the pre-
sentation prize for scullery, which was won by T. Pesser,
of Caversham. The pair-oared race for the silver gob-
lets was won by Messrs. Cadogan, Christ Church, Ox-
ford, and Short, New College. The Ladies' Challenge
Plate, for eight-oared boats, came next, and was con-
tested lay the Cambridge Trinity Boat Club and the
Oxford Pembroke College boat ; it was a well contested
race, and won cleverly by the Cantabs. The Visitors'
Challenge Cup, a four-oared race, was also won by the'
Cambridge boat ; the contest was good. The next in
succession was the Picked Watermen's Race for a purse
of sovereigns, four Oared boats ; won by a length and a
half, after a most spirited contest, by the crew, consist-
ing of Phelps, Fulham; Mackinney, RicLmond ; Newell,
Horsleydown ; and Coombes (ex champion), stroke oar.
The Town Challenge Cup became the prize of the Defi-
ance Boat Club, \Vargrave, beating the crew of the
Henley Boat Club by three lengths. The Grand Chal-
lenge Cup, for eight-oared boats concluded the sports of
the day, and was won (the crews being the same which
had contested for the Ladies' Plate) by the Cambridge
Trinity Boat Club, beating the Oxford Wadham College
boat by three lengths.

The following i 3 a translation of the treaty concluded
between Austria and the Ottoman Porte
:

AUSTRIAN INTERNUNCIO AND RESCHID PACHA.

His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, recognising that
the existence of the Ottoman empire in its actual limits
is necessary to the maintenance of the equilibrium be-
tween the States of Europe, and that, namely, the eva-
cuation of the Danubian principalities is one of the con-
ditions of the integrity of that empire ; being, moreover,
ready to concur by the means at his disposal in the mea-
sures propJr to assure the object of the concert esta-
blished between the Cabinets and the high Courts repre-
sented at the Conference of Vienna,
His Majesty the Sultan, on his part, having accepted
this offer of amical concurrence of his Majesty the Em-
peror of Austria, it has seemed suitable to conclude a
convention so as to regulate the manner in which the
concurrence in question is to be effected.

To this end, his Imperial Majesty the Sultan and his
Imperial M;:jesty the Emperor of Austria have ap-
pointed as their plenipotentaries viz. :
His Imperial Majesty the Sultan, and his Highness
Reschid Paella, ex-Grand Vizir, and actually his Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs, decorated with the Imperial order
of Medjidje, first class, &c.; and his Majesty the Em-
peror of Austria, Baron Ch. de Bruck, Privy Councillor
of his Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty, his Internun-
cio and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Sublime Porte,
Grand Cross, &c., who, after exchanging their full powers,
found in good and due form, have agreed upon the fol.
lowing articles :
