DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

-
'ler Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert
honoured Drury-lane Theatre with their presence last even-
ing. The performances consisted of Vincent Wallace's
lat:autiful operaofillaritana, in which was introduced a grand
pas de deux between Mademoiselle Flora Fabbri and
Monsieur llretin, of the performance of Professor
Risley and his sons, and of the Pantomime. The
royal party seemed particularly delighted with the
performances of the Risleys, and Prince Albert applauded
them to the echo, and, truth to say, they were worthy of
it. Throughout America and Europe have these talented
artistes borne away the palm, and the Prince Consort (an ex-
cellent judge of art) has, by his approval, confirmed the
judgment of the artistical world as to the transcendent
merits of these incomparable artistes.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSAL'S— YESTERDAY.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary number of accep
tutees for the Newmarket Handicap, it was wholly neglected
for the Chester Cup, on which a large amount of business
was transacted at prices differine•— very materially in some
cases—from those last reported.' The " pots " were, Best
Bower, Whinstone, Miss Burns, Sweetmeat, and Cataract ;
and as the averages, at which we have quoted them, varied
to a considerable extent from those that ruled the betting in
the early part of the day, we will mention the leading trans-
actions :-350 to 10, 1,000 to 30, 500 to 15, and finally 2,000
to 100 against Best Bower, the last bet being coupled with
another of 2,500 to 100 against Whinstone, who was
backed singly, and with some eagerness, at 1,000
to 35, 355 to 10, 30 to 1, and at the finish, but in connexion
with a similar bet agst Best Bower; 1,000 to 40 was laid agst
Miss Burns ; 2,000 to 30 once, 1,000 to 20 several times, and
at the finish 1,000 to 25 agst Sweetmeat ; and 1,000 to 20,
two or three times, and in one instance 1,000 to 25 agst Ca-
taract ; 30 to 1 was laid in two or three places agst Micky
Free ; 1,000 to 25 agst Hope ; 2,000 to 50 agst Mermaid;
and other bets of smaller amount at the odds returned un-
derneath. The Derby and Oaks transactions were of too
little interest to call tor observation. The following are the

We are glad to find that the innkeepers of London have
been eminently successful with their " Great Metropolitan
Stake," to be added to a handicap to be run for at the first
Meeting under the new management. Between three and
four hundred pounds had been collected yesterday, and there
are strong expectations that at the close of to-morrow even-
ing the gross sum will not fall much short of 500/.
