THEATRICAL.

" When Madam Aimz," says the Boston Post, " re-
quested Dr. —'s opinion of the Ellsler, he replied,
'Madam, she exhibits the ne—plus ultra in dancing.'"
The forthcoming pantomime at Covent Garden is en-
titled Guy Earl of Warwick; or, Harlequin and the Dun
Cow, and is founded upon the real and burlesque exploits
of the famous Earl warrior.

SPORTING.
Last Thursday the Quorn hounds made one of the
most magnificent runs that has been seen in Leicester-
shire, for the last ten years. The fox was started at
Great Daulby, and killed near Rolleston. The pace of
the last four miles was tremendous ; every hound was in
at the death, and during the whole of this splendid run
the pack might have been covered with a table-cloth.
No horse could keep up within a quarter of a mile of
these superb dogs.
The Earl of Harewood, it is said, does not intend to
keep up the fine pack of hounds that afforded the late
Earl so many days' sport and healthful exercise.

MISCELLANEOUS.

A great deal of paper is at the present moment being
manufactured, which is impressed with the water-mark
for the ensuing year, " 1842." As legal documents, &c.,
executed in the latter part of the year would be invali•
dated by it, care should be observed against its adoption.
The Yorhshireman says :—" On Thursday Viscount
Melbourne was entertained at llishopthorpe Palace, by
his. Grace the Archbishop of York." We take, for
granted, that the Noble Viscount inflicted " a heavy
blow and a great discouragement" on his Grace's wine-
cellar.
Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of Dr. John-
son in 1784. Criticism and philology, biography
and
ethics, were each indebted to his pen. His vigour of
thought, and majesty of style, have gained him admirers i
among all.
