SURREY THEATRE.

After a short recess the Surrey Theatre re-opened
last evening for the opera season. A complete operatic
company, including Madame Albertazzi, Madame Clara
Ansel, Miss Betts. Mr. D. W. King, Mr. Clement White,
Mr. Weiss, and Mr. H. Horncastle has been engaged.
The services of Mr. H. Hughes, Mr. J. T. Johnson, Mrs.
W. Daly, and the established favourites of the Surrey
dramatic company, have been retained; and the company
has been strengthened by the engagements of Mr.
OsbaldiAon, Mr. E. F. Saville, Miss Vincent, and
that prince of low comedians, Mr. G. Forman.
The performances commenced last evening with the
opera of Cinderella, with Madame Albertazzi as the
heroine ; and never has the delightful music which
Rossini has given to La Cenerentola been more beauti-
fully executed than it was last evening by Madame Al-
bertazzi. The " Non piu mesta" at the conclusion, was a
perfect triumph. Her voice seemed like some exqui-
sitely attuned instrument on which she could
play at will. There was no forcing the voice,
no painful attempt at producing effect, and yet
the most wonderful effects were produced appa-
rently without effort. Many a prirna donna uses greater
apparent effort to get through a simple ballad, than was
exhibited by Madame Albertazzi last evening in the ex-
ecution of the chef d'auvre of Rossini, and yet never
have we heard " Non piu mesta" more exquisitely, more
delicately, more correctly given ; the intonation of every
note was full, clear, correct, and perfect, and her fioriture
was wonderful, not alone for its profuseness, but for
its distinctness. No exquisitely attuned instrument
could have been more completely under command than
was the voice of Madame Albertazzi. The finale was
encored as a matter of course, and at the conclusion she
was again called before the curtain. She was well sup-
ported by King as the Prince. Weiss as Dandini, H. Horn-
castle as the Baron, and G. Forman as Pedro. Forman's
dry humour in this last character was irresistible. The
operetta of No! followed, and the performances con-
eluded with Pocock's excellent melodrama of the Miller
and his Men. The house was crowded to excess. We
had almost forgotten to mention that Mr. Shepherd is
the acting manager, and that the orchestral arrange-
ments arerunder the superintendence of Mr. E. J. Loder.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSA LL'S.—YESTEEDAY.
Lest the formidable list of prices given underneath should
lead to a false impression as to the extent of business trans-
acted, we should mention, that although all the horses quoted
were backed, Mendicant, My Mary, and The Hero, alone were
in any force for the Handicaps. Very little was done on the
St. Leger; but it is worthy of remark, that 20 to 1 was
offered against Fancy Boy, which would encourage a belief
that the injury he received at Newcastle was more serious
than was at first supposed. Latest prices :---

TO TFIEEDITORTHE SUN.
SlR,—Last week I gave a list of the St. Leger illustrious
obscures—to-day I will proceed to the analvzation of the
" third-rates." First on the list stands Mr. Bowes's fillies
Mowerina and Ukraine, both good animals, went well for the
Oaks, especially the former, who finished fifth, her owner
expecting to win with her; but as she could not manage
that, I cannot think she stands any chance of being A 1 for
the St. Leger; in fact, I am inclined to believe that neither
of Mr. Bowes's fillies will start for that race.
Arkwright—His understandings too bad for anything above
a plate race.
Free Lance—This colt possesses good blood, and now and
then, when least expected, wins, proving that there is some-
thing in him, but not much.
Colt by Don John, out of Game Lass—A tolerable nag, but
not in regular training.
srstades—An incorrigible brute, who will only go when he
pleases.
Ignis Fatuus—A deceptive light, leading to no good.
Titchfield—Splendid blood circulates in this animal, but
to no purpose.
The Druid—A goodly-looking nag to the eye, and with a
light weight on his back may do something, but cannot pass
muster as a St. Legerite ; he will probably help to swell the
field.
Danceaway—An Irish filly by Harkaway ; will not do at
any price.
Fair Helen—Half-sister to Alice Hawthorn ; is a disgrace
to her parentage.
Tom Tullock—The 2,000 guineas and Derby crack has
gone off like a squib, with great noise and little profit.
Cuckoo—Will never pipe a " triumphant march" over the
St. Leger course ; neither will she start.
Malt—May go, hut if she does, it will not be as the pro-
perty of William Scott.
poynton—At one time was in considerable force as an out •
eider for the Derby, but his pretensions on the Downs were
soon disposed of; his Doncaster pretensions may be sent to
the " right-about" in the same manner.
Sharston—A two-year-old flyer; but as a three-year-old,
worse than Arkwright.
Traveller, by Sambo—May start, but will never win.
Froth, a colt of Mr. Preston's by Ishmael—Avery myste-
rious nag, which I know but little about ; it is at present i
Ireland, but may probably start for the great northern event;
about it I am unable to advise, being in the dark myself.
With this animal closes the batch of third-rates. I think
anybody may satisfactorily assert that the winner is not
.among them. The second class I will bring under my con-
sideration next week.
The racing at Newcastle has let out nothing whatever; the
ground was in such a wretched condition after the storm on
alo,aday, that fair racing was entirely out of the question.
Fans,'. Boy would have won the Ntli Derby Stakes had he
not fiat twice. Many good judges on the course, immediately
preceding the race, confidently asserted that it was an im-
possi.bility t:'sr Sir atton to lose. Many think so still, but I
am not of the ?Lumber. I verily believe that of hisf Fancy B
fa o
ly
had not fell a second time, he would, in spitel,
have gone in an easy winner.
My fancy nag for the Northumberland Plate was a very
good third, and had he not kept so long in the rear might
have won ; for when he did leave his horses he came out well
enough, but too late. Dolo winning this race, as well as the
-North Derby, made him third favourite in the betting for the
St. Leger. Grimston's running for the Lottery Stakes nearly
raised him to a level with Dolo but his backers were not so
confident. The St. Leger bids fair to be a profitable race for
the book-makers, there being no less than a dozen nags in
the betting, ats,
the present moment, under 20 to 1 ; and,
moreover, it is a very open race, much more so than the
Derby.
The Carlisle meeting has three days of moderate sport.
On Wednesday the Pen colt and Cranbrook will between
then/ win the Claret Stakes. On Thursday the Maid of
Motherwell or Susannah will win the Corby Castle Stakes,
Belted Will being near the mark. The Cumberland Plate
-will have some ac
half-dozen starters, with Telemhus or
Glossy for winner, Dolo, I presume, not starting.On Friday
tint Lottery Stakes to the Peri colt or Philip.
'.'he Winchester meeting commences on Wednesday,with

ass-a,redly win with Wilderness or Wits-

27. -Mr. George Granville. Francis Egerton, the eldest son of
Lord Francis Egerton, and nephew of the Duke of Suther-
land, has announced himself, in the following terms, as a
candidate for the representation of this borough :—" Having
seen in the newspapers a letter addressed to you by one of

fror n the representation of your borough in the event of a
dissolution of Parliament, I take the liberty of announcing
my intention of becoming a candidate for the honour of your
tiff tages at the earliest opportunity ; and I shall venture to
hop a that the explanation ()filly political views and opinions
-will( be such as to secure for me your
Alt bough the political views of the Hon. Candidate cannot
be gathered from the above address, it is understood that he
will I come forward upon independent principles, irrespective
of ;party, adopting the conduct of his noble father as the
gtti de of his political life. The high claims of the noble
fall tily with which Mr. Eerton is connected—Trentham, the
seat , of the Duke of Suthe grland, being within four miles of
New rcastle—are of themselves suticient to insure the Honk
Gen tleman's success.
