THE THEATRES.

HAYMARKET.

The tragedy of lon was brought out last night at this
theatre. The most remarkable feature in this undertaking
was Miss Tree's performance of the part of lon. Generally
speaking, such masquerading in the serious drama is to be dis-
couraged—under no circumstances can it prove wholly suc-
cessful. If, however, it might be looked upon favourably in
any instance, it was in this. The part of lon is essentially that
of a youth—its essence—its morale is identified with the idea
of pure, unsophisticated juvenility, following, in this, the Greek
original. Miss Tree looked remarkably well in the character,
and proved that she had not seen Mr. Macready go through it
to no purpose, for without any mere imitation she adhered to
his delicate and touching model. Her last scene we thought
particularly good. Mr. Vandenhoff's Adrastus was a very
mixed performance, containing many effective points, and much
of that drawling intonation and choking pathos of which this
actor is so untowardly fond. The part of Clemanthe was
sustained by Miss Taylor with considerable passion, but she
looked too tall and large for her lover. The other prominent
characters in the tragedy were efficiently sustained by the
Vinings, Selby, and Haines. The whole was well got up,
considering the means of this theatre, and it went off with
great success. At the fall of the curtain, Miss Tree and Mr.
Vandenhoff had to come forward and receive the usual com-
pliment.

ENGLISH OPERA HO USE.
Last night, after an absence of three years, Mr. Hackett,
the celebrated American actor, made his first appearance upon
these boards, in his favourite character of Colonel Wildfire, in
Bernard's farce of The Kentuckian. Mr. Hackett's reception
was most cordial and enthusiastic, and must have been most
highly gratifying to his feelings. The piece, also, which was
received with great favour when first presented at Covent-
garden, and subsequently at the Haymarket theatre, met last
night with as lively a welcome here. The Colonel, in whom
are blended fine animal spirits with vast good humour and
great generosity, but withal an enormous braggart, was in the
happiest manner hit off, and to the very life pourtrayed by
Mr. Hackett, who seems as if he could in reality " jump
higher, squat lower, dive deeper, keep longer under, and come
up drier," or any other of the impossible things he spoke
about. Eis performance was throughout received with great
approbation, and the 'piece was given out for repetition with
unmixed applause.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S- YESTERDA .

The room was fully attended for several hours, and busi-
ness, independent of a heavy settling on Goodwood races, brisk
and full of interest. Gladiator was backed at one time at sto
1, but subsequently declined to 6 to 1 (offered.) Wedge took
his place, and had plenty of friends, 11 to 2 having been taken
at the close, and offers made to go on. Redshank was backed
freely at 7 to 1, and several bets taken about Vulture and
Trapball at 8 and 9 to 1, which odds were currently offered at
the finish. Elis was barely mentioned, and nothing done about
Beeswing. Brother to St. Giles was backed as low as 16 to
1, and Bto 1 offered against him and his companion, Carew
( Brother to Bamfylde). 2,000 to 15, 1,000 to 10, and finally
50 to 1 taken about Ebberston. A few engagements were
also made on the Derby. The betting closed as follows :

BRIGHTON STAKES,P.P. (TO-MORROW).

him and Bamfylde against the field. It is supposed that the
