DRURY LANE.

Mr. Smith, the lessee, took his benefit last night, and
we are glad to state he was honoured with a bumper.
The great event of the evening was the introduction to
the British public of a new sort of acrobat—a Mr. Sands,
from America, who executes the surprising feat of walk-
ing with his head downwards. A scaffold is erected on
the stage; terminating in the platform on which the in-
verted pedestrian is to display his talent, a basket or
swinging chair being placed at each end as his starting
point and his goal. When he has entered those chairs,
by means of ladders, he puts on his feet a pair of san-
dals, or rather platters, and then deliberately lifts them
to the platform above him, which is brightly polished.
The walk then commences, not on all fours, be it under-
stood, but fairly with the head downwards, and the
whole body at right angles to the upper surface. The
secret of the art consists in the power of producing an
adhesion between the sole of the shoe and the platform
sufficiently strong to keep the artist from being precipi-
tated with his head downwards by the force of gravity,
yet not strong enough to prevent him from performing
the operation of walking. That the feat is dangerous
may be inferred from the fact that a net is suspended to
catch him in the event of a fall ; and the long pause
which he required in one instance last night in order to
produce an adhesion, showed that the achievement is
difficult even with a man who, like Mr. Sands, has pro-
bably devoted a whole life to the accomplishment of this
exploit. In addition to this remarkable performance,
two new pieces were produced on the occasion, one
called the School for Kings, and the other the Turkish
Lovers. In the first the scene is laid in Bavaria,
and the incidents relate to the career of a
certain king of that German principality, who at
some period or other loved his subjects, and successively
lost and recovered his eyesight and his throne. The
piece was divided into three acts, but it was a dull and
tedious affair from beginning to end, and it met with
little or no encourrgement from the audience. The
second piece relates to a story about an escape from a
harem, and the "sayings and doings" of a Cockney tra-
veller who has found his way to Constantinople, and
become enamoured of one of the Sultan's ladies. The
piece is highly embellished with scenery, and with the
aid of its comic incidents, and the introduction of a slight
ballet in one portion of it, will no doubt secure it a
"run."

Pat ent.—Newly •invented and Patented Application of Che-
mlcaUy-prepared White India-rubber in the construction of Artificial
Teeth, Gums, and Palates.—Mr. EPHRADd MOSELY, Surgeon-
Dentist, 61, Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, Sole Inventor and
Patentee.--A. new, original, and invaluable invention, consisting in
the adaptation, with the most absolute perfection and success, of
CHEMICALLY-PREPARED WHITE INDIA-RUBBER as a lining
to the ordinary gold or ;/one frame. The extraordinary results of
this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi-
nent features, as the following :—All sharp edges are avoided ; no
springs, wires, or fastentar:s are required ; a greater increased free-
dom of suction is supplied : a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un-
attainable: and a flt, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are
secured, while from the so—ness and flexibility of the agent em-
ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjolning teeth when
loose, or rendered tender by the absorption of the gums. The acids
of the mouth exert so agency on the chemically-prepared White '
India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature
may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth,
all unpleasantness of smelt or taste being at the same time wholly
provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.
To be obtained only at 61, Grosvenor-street, London ;

Last Four Nights of the present Seasen.
The increasing popularity of the National Spectacle of the Battle of
Waterloo, which has now completed its 73d night, has by for ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Lessee, who, anxious
to meet the public taste, has increased the attraction of that re-
nowned Spectacle of a Splendid Military Brass Band. In an-
nouncing the Grand Production for Five Nights more (when it
must be withdrawn to make room for the New Classical Burlesque,
conjointly with the Hippo Drama of Life on the Turf, which has
arrived at its 101st night—a fact unprecedented), he feels confi-
dent that he is only meeting the wish of his patrons, who nightly
flock to this popular Establishment to witness their representi-
tlon. To afford every possible Novelty, Mr. W. Cooke's Scenes in
the Circle are entirely changed each week. The return of Miss
EMILY COOKE from her Continental Tour was hailed with de-
monstrations of delight. She will repeat her matchless perform-
ance every evening. N.B.—Due Notice will be given of the
First Appearance in London of Miss KATE COOKE. The long-
promised Classical Burlesque will be produced on SATURDAY,

WENTZELL'S PAIR-OARED RACE,

The annual contest for Wentzell's silver oars at Lam-
beth took place yesterday, and was, as usual, very nume-
rously attended by the lovers of sport and others who
look upon this event as a holiday. The race was in
three heats, and was extremely well conducted by Mr.
C. Newnham.

First Heat.
S. Dimes and R. Clayton (Light Blue) 1
Pye and R. Dimes (Pink) 2
Another (pair started. The distance was from off
Lambeth Palace up to a boat moored off Nine Elms,
down to a boat off Messrs. Searle's, and back to the
starting place. It was a very capital heat throughout,
presenting a variety of changes, and was cleverly won
by two or three lengths.
Second Heat.
Richardson and D. Missing (Light Blue) 1
Shelton and Alsept (White) 2
The distance was the same as before, but in this heat
there was nothing to record.

Two others started, and made a very spirited race.
After a few very rapid strokes, in which the whole four
were oar and oar, Dark Blue put on a capital spurt, and
forged a length ahead, but were soon challenged by
Light Blue, to whom, after some terrific pulling, they
were obliged to give place. White then pulled up to
Light Blue, and a fierce and gallant struggle ended in
White taking the lead, which they kept to the finish,
winning by two clear lengths.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. APPREHENSION Of
FOREIGN GAMBLERS.—Pierre Mason„ manager of a cof-
fee-shop, 57, Castle-street, Leicester-square, which is
also used by a number of foreigners as a gaming-house,
Francois Efache, door-keeper, and Francois Ilache, jun.,
and 17 other foreigners, were brought before Mr. Hard-
wick charged with having been found in a common
gaming house, for gambling purposes.
Superintendent O'Brien, of the C division, produced
his authority from Sir R. Mayne, to enter the house, No.
57, Castle-street. which was suspected to be a common
gaming-house. About half-past 11 o'clock on Satur-
day night witness and a number of constables went
to the house, and having gained admission proceeded
up stairs, and in a room on the ground-floor found 19 of
the defendants. There was a table in the room, which
was covered with green baize and cards. There was
also some silver and copper money, which had evidently
formed the principal part of the stakes played for. In
another room four other foreigners were apprehended,
and all who were found in the room were arrested
except one, who managed to jump out of the window,
but who was almost immediately afterwards brought
back in the custody of a police serjeant. One of the
prisoners, Hache, jun., said he only acted for a person
who was the proprietor of the room, and who was at
present in prison.
Police-constable Robert Lester said he was instructed
to watch the premises, which have long been known to I
the police as being used as a resort for foreigners for
gambling purposes. He stood at the hack of the house
for some time, and was enabled to hear the shuffling of
cards and the gingling of money. He was satisfied that
gambling was going on in the room. Witness after-
wards accompanied his superintendent into the house,
and there found tables strewn with cards, and about
28s. in silver, and 11d. in coppers.
For the defence it was contended that the prisoners,
being foreigners, were not aware that gambling was an
offence—that they merely assembled at the coffee-shop
to chat amongst each other, to read the papers, and to
amuse themselves with a game at cards, the stakes being
appropriated to the payment of the expenses of the place,
and if there was any surplus it was put in a box, and I
when it amounted to a sufficient sum it was spent in an
excursion to Chelsea or Gravesend.
Mr. Hardwick remarked, from the evidently inferior

APPRENTICES' MATCH.

Six watermen's apprentices of Southwark, Christ-
church, and Lambeth, contended, in three heats, for a
coat and badge and two freedoms, which were won by
J. Rolls, crimson, and T. Pocock, yellow. The distance
in the first heat extended from Waterloo Bridge to
Southwark, up to Lambeth, and back to Blackfriars.

ALL SAINTS' (POPLAR) AND BLACKWALL

REGATTA.

Yesterday was the day appointed for the above annual
regatta to take place, to commemorate the first meeting
of the Free Watermen's and Lightermen's Asylum.
The prizes to be rowed for were—a new boat for the
first prize ; and sums of money, varying from 51. to 1/.
12s. 6d., for the succeeding men. The race extended
from the Folly House, Blackwall, to the East India
Dock Buoy, to go twice round each heat. The number
of persons present to view the race was more than we
have ever seen on previous occasions ; and although
they seemed by their smiles and applause to say " Cheer,
boys, cheer," still the confidential manner of the men
seemed to reiterate "Courage, true hearts, shall bear us
on our way."
The arrangements for the start having been com-
pleted, J. Chapman (pink), J. Curd (light blue), and C.
Atkins (green), started for the first heat, at half-past 10.
Upon going off Light Blue took the lead, closely fol-
lowed by pink, who overhauled him going down and
passed him, but in rounding the buoy Light Blue again
passed the " blushing Pink," and won the first heat by
about six boats' lengths, the same difference being be-
tween the second and third boats.

At eleveiJJdockC. Adkins (dark blue), G. James
(yellow), and G. Atkins (red) came to the scratch. Upon
going off Red took the lead, but was shortly passed by
Dark Blue in rounding, but afterwards Red took the
leading place and maintained it throughout, Yellow
going into the second place by 50 yards, and the same
falling off by Dark Blue for the third place.
The third heat was rowed for by the second and third
men of each division at a quarter past two, and was won
by Pink, Dark Blue second, and Green third.
The fourth heat went away at half-past four, between
the two first men of the first and second heats. Light
Blue took the lead, but was quickly passed by Dark
Blue and Pink. Upon coming up against the tide Light
Blue and Pink fouled off Wigram's-wharf, which allowed
Red to go into the second position, when, after seine
splendid rowing, Dark Blue came in first, Red second,
Pink third, and Light Blue fourth.
For the final heat a grand struggle took place between
G. Atkins (red), an old veteran of the Thames, aged 57,
and his nephew, C. Atkins (dark blue), when, after a
well-contested race, youth had the superiority over old
age, the old man's strength giving way, and allowing
the " young nn" to win by nearly 100 yards.
Mr. John Cory, the manager, deserves great credit for
his management, this being one of the best-regulated
matches that has taken place at this spot for Rome years.

The Hon. WM. BADOLEY, M.P.P., 2nd Vice-President,
proposed the next toast. He said the toast placed in his
hands was so large in its terms and so extensive in its
nature, he supposed that it had been adopted for the
finale of their interesting association that evening. He
had been forestalled in any thing he could have hoped to
say to it by speakers to a previous toast: But in connec-
tion with it, ho was desirous of bringing under the notice
of those present a gentleman to whose exertions they were
already indebted, and would be much more indebted be-
fore the Grand Trunk Railway would be completed. He
referred to the chief engineer of that company ; and with
these few observations, he would leave the toast in his
hands to be responded to, knowing that he could do it
much fuller justice than he (Mr. B.) could hope to do. He
proposed :
" The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, and its connec-
tions by sea, lake, river, canal, and rail."
Drunk with enthusiasm. Band—" Canadian Trunk
Railroad Galop."
Mr. Ross, C.E., responded. He thanked them sincerely
- • -

for the honour which they had done him ; an honour which
he, as a stranger, had no right to expect at their hands.
He felt proud that ho was permitted to take part in advan-
cing the interests, in developing the great natural resources
of this most splendid country. He hoped the construction
of the great work with which ho was charged would fur-
nish a data, from which a new era in the affairs of the
country would run. It would be no presumption to pro-
phecy a glorious future for it, since it was everywhere be-
ing filled up with inhabitants, whose intelligence and in-
dustry attracted the observation of all who travelled
among them. They only wanted one thing to fully deve-
lop° the resources of the country, and that, with the zeal-
ous co-operation of the people, would be supplied them in
a few years, when they would possess as perfect means of
internal communication as the people of the old country
now enjoyed. It would be folly to hesitate for one moment
in adopting measures to complete these works. He would
not detain them longer, but he rssured them that he felt
deeply the many acts of kininess that had been extended
to him since his arrival in the country. The deep impres-
sion which their cordial good feeling that night made upon
his heart, would not be effaced so long as ho remained in
Canada. Ho assured them that no exertions should be
wanting on his part to promote the prosperity of the coun-
try.
The party broke up about 1 a.m.

TEMPLE OP JUGGERNAUT.—A Parliamentary paper
has just been printed, procured by Mr. Kinnaird, con-
taining a copy of dispatch to the Government of India
dated the sth of May, 1852 on the subject of the allow-
ance still made from the Government Treasury to the
Temple of Juggernaut. The directors in their dispatch
in reference to the subject state, "We continue to be
of the opinion which we have before expressed, that it
is desirable finally to dissever the British Government
from all connexion with the temple, and we therefore
authorise you to make arrangements fir accomplishing
this object by the discontinuance of any periodical allow-
ance to it, in lieu of which some final payment may be
made in the way of compensation to any persons who
may appear upon a liberal construction of past engage-
ments or understandings to be entitled to such indemni-
fication." On the 11th of April last the subject was
still under consideration.
BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—This once celebrated fair,
which of late years has degenerated into a few ginger-
bread cake stands, was on Saturday last, according to
custom, formally proclaimed open by the civic authori-
ties, Sir George Carroll officiating for the Lord Mayor,
who was unable to attend, owing to his late severe
accident. In consequence of the high price charged for
the ground in Smithfield, the showkeepers have for the
last two or three years held the fair on a plot of ground
in the Chalk-road, Islington, but this year the parish
authorities have interdicted it.
SINGULAR FACT IN POTATO GROWING.— William
Comely, of Tipton Hall, Dudley, last year raised some
potatoes on his ground, but they proved so badly dis-
eased he would not go to the expense of getting them
in. There has beet). this year, however, a very fair crop
of sound potatoes off the same ground, although nothing
at all has been done to it.

ment, in this great actor's impersonation,
and need
only add a caution to him not to abuse his ext.raor•
Binary vocal powers by making abrupt transitions
from high to low, such as we remarked more than
once on this occasion. So admirable a performs
should despise mere clap-trap effects.

(From the Morning Herald.)
Mr. Gustavus Brooke belongs rather to a phys.jeal
than an intellectual school of artistes—a characteristic
that was fully established on a former occasion. Ells
declamation was always of the loudest ; and the rumour,
that be had lost his voice (now unquestionably returned
to him) could scarcely surprise those who witnessed his
early displays. Drury-lane Theatre is more favourable
than the Olympic for actors of this class. The larger
space ameliorates the quality of the voice, and coarse
ness of style is less palpale. The house last night Was
well filled. Mr. Brooke reigns supreme among the
unsophisticatel ; and his friends of the upper re•
e.
gions assembled handsomely to welcome his
turn to the metropolis. He played the part of the
jealous Moor in no different vein to that of for
merly. The sepulchral inflexions of voice, long,
pluies, transitions from the fierce to the familiar, and
those explosive bursts which the gods admire and ar
plaud to the echo, were there as of old, and the popular
verdict, as before, was indicative both of success and
triumph. The gallery portion of the audience wag in
•cstacies with Mr. Brooke, and the shirtsleeved critics
were most tempestuous in their expressions of delight.
Their exuberance of deportment was unbounded, and
their approbation took shape in whistlings, shrieks'
col
loquies across the house, and other genial tokens that sree
look for only at the festive season of Christmas. The
calls for the hero of the evening, at the close Of
third and fifth acts, amounted to a perfect tornado ; sa
if merit could be measured by noise, his success W"
vast indeed.
