DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert
honoured Drury-lane Theatre with their presence last even-
ing. The performances consisted of Vincent Wallace's
beautiful opera of Montana, in which was introduced a grand
pas de deux between Mademoiselle. Flora Fabbri and
Monsieur Bretin, 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.
TATT ER SAL'S— YEsTERDAy.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary number of accept-
ances for the Newmai ket Handicap, it was wholly neglected
for the Chester Cup, on which a large amount of business
was transacted at prices differing—very materially in 'some
cases—from those last reported. The " pots " were, Best
Bower, Whinstone, Miss Burns, Sweetmeat, and Cataract ;
and as the avarages, at which we have quoted them, vai led
to a considerable extent from those that ruled the betting in
the early part of the day, we will mention the leading tr,ns-
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 33, 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-
t aract ; 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 for observation. The following are the

THE TERRIBLE WAR STEAMER..
The Terrible-war steamer is in commission and now fitting
for sea at Woolwich ; she has 20 guns mounted, also a brass
field piece and carriage, met a waggon for powder to accom-
pany it. On her upper deck, each side the bow, arc - two
Nng 56-pounders, Monk's 11 feet guns, to fire fore and aft ix
allure with the keel.; these are mounted on a slide, and will
c oss lire with each other, and also sweep round to the sides;
t o
cf t
t o
‘eysa rct
, more of the same guns, rialit aft in the stern, will also
andacsetilg
eiepatsoctplaes guns-if required. She has two 68-
broadside on their pivot, so as to fire
Ounders on each 'broadside, to carry shells or solid shot,
Which can beqrained fore or abaft, according to circum-
stances. On the deck' below, which is also flush fore and
att,'are eight guns, viz., two long SG-pounders, Monk's guns,
11 feet long, in the .bow ports, to tire in a hire with the
keel, and also several degrees of training on the broad-
sides, and two of the same guns in the stern, right aft, which
can give such depression as to prevent even a small boat
from coming under her stieli ; with four guns, 68-pounders,
on her broadsides, for shells or solid shot. There are four
sMaller-giiiis on the upper deck, to be traversed to any place
oti carried on shore in herpaddle box boats, if required for
use in landing troop:, &c. She has four separate boilers, in-
dependent of . each other, which may be connected when
reeuired ; four funnels, one to each boiler; the two after
ones strike down, so as to allow a square mainsail to be
set when sailing, and still using the two foremost boilers,
thus working helf her power, at the same time. saving a
co sideralele consumption of coals. This is an •'excellent
co trivance, as there are four small funnels, instead of one
la ge one, which is a great advantage, as the ship will not
b wholly disabled by losing one, two, or even three funnels,
like the cue funnel ship would be on hers being carried
away; her one funnel lost, she has lost all. The Terrible
has two magazines, and two shell-rooms, one of each before
the engine-room, and one abaft for the safety of the
vessel,- to -prevent any powder passing the engine-room
when firing the guns. She can store 400 tons of coals
below the lower deck, and is prepared on the midship
part of the deck to take 200 or 300 t ins more, packed
in bags, as a defence from shot to the engines and boilers,
tiding up a space of eighteen feet. In addition to her
thick, substantial, solid sides, she has good capacity, and if
required for any particular service can carry more coal in
sacks. With regard to the conveyance of troops, she can
berth 1,000 men under cover on her second gun-deck, inde-
pendent of her ship's company, their berth being below for-
ward, and the oilicvrs' cabins, gun-room, &c., abaft ;so that
each gun-deck is entirely clear and always ready for action,
without removing a bulkhead, and the deck being perfectly
free from the captain's cabin abaft, to the bow of the vessel.
She is constructed in the strongest and most substantial
=lnner, on Mr. Lang's improved method of uniting the
frame timbers, making her perfectly water-tight, so that
she would swim even if her external keel and plank were
offs her bottom. This method is also adopted in the
Roral Albert, 120 guns, now in her frame, and may be
seen on the slip in Woolwich dockyard. The engine-room
of ' the Terrible is most splendid ; on deck, the whole
length of the engine-rocm, are gratings open and well.
ventilated by hatchways, giving light and air to the engi-
neers, stokers, &c. It is an admirable plan, such es no
steamer as yet had the advantage of; and each boiler has a
separate hatchway, and may be readily taken out for repair,
without interfering with the other boilers. This method of
Mr, Lang's invention prevents the necessity of ripping up
the deck, which is the case with other steamers, when the
boilers are required to be taken out from those vessels, and
there, too, the deck, covering the boilers, the engineers and
stokers have the light admitted by the hatchway over the
engines only. The Terrible's engines are most majestic ;
they are 800-horse power, the production of 31audslay, Sons,
and Field, and show to advantage. in this large war steamer.
Her decks have hatchways in various parts, scuttles, sky-
lighte,_&e,forsentilating the ship even to the lower parts of
hell hull ; and there are many other conveniences too nu-
merous to mention, contributing to the efficiency of the ship
and the comforts of the officers and c.,•ew, so that she may
be said to be the largest and most peieect war steamer ever
built. The Terrible is commanded by Captain Ramsay, late
of the Dee steam -vessel, and she is to have a complement of
240 officers, men, and bays.—Nautkol Standard.

COLLISION ON THE EASTERN

COUNTIES RAILWAY.

STANSTEAD, NEAR BISHOP'S STORTFORD, MONDAY EVEN-
Isc4.!—Yesterday a series of mishaps occurred en this line,
neat to the above place, the particulars of which are a 4 tbl-
lowS:—lt appears that shortly after one o'clock on the morn-
ing ,of Sunday last, as one of the trains for London was
stopping at the Stinstead s'ation, for the purpose of having
the wheels cooled—they hiving tired on their journey from
Cantbridge—another train came up, heavily laden, about
two hours afterwards. Through some mistake this train ran
upon the wrong- line, and the consequence was that a mis-
take afterwards occurred with reference to the signals,
which proved serious, but which was, happily, not attended
with loss of life, although some injury was sustained by the
stoker to one of the trains. In consequence of the stoppage
on the line, and the porter at the station having shown a
wrong light, from the fact of the position of the laden
carriages being mistaken by him, the engine-driver appre-
hended no danger, and the consequence was that his train
(the'quarter-past seven one) was propelled 'without check,
and the engine ran into the luggage and beast-train, en-
tirely smashing a truck containing a large load of flour,
breaking in another, in which there were several horned .
cattle intended for the' London marlaet, and materially in-
juring the engines belonging to both. The guard, it is
stated, escaped almost miraculously, he having jumped from
his seat on the ground while the train was in motion, and the
stoker was thrown• off the tender with considerable force.
Fortunately no one suffered any breakage of limb, the in-
jured parties being able to walk soon after the effect of the
upset was over. The damage to the property of the -coin.
puny was considerable, and the rails were considerably bent
by the shock, and several of the sleepers shivered into splin-
ters. One of the carriages—that containing the sacks of
flour—which was covered with a roof of zinc, was torn
alniost to pieces, the bed and wheels only remaining entire.
Two of the buffers, one before and the other behind, are
completely carried away; the off-side is broken in, and the •
roof torn quito_off. The engines, mutilated as they were
were with some difficulty got to Bishop's Stortford, in the
course of Sunday, and it was not until quite afternoon that
the line was cleared. The damaged carriages remain where
the accident occurred, nor will they be removed until after
the examination, officially made, by the directors. This
(Monday) afternoon workmen are employed ecnsolidlting
the road, and making the whole of the works firm as they

PRICE AND SUPPLY OF POTATOES IN THE LONDON
MAniiErs.—The supply of potatoes to the various markets
continue undiminished, and the majority are of an excellent
quality, but the prices are considerably higher. During Sa-
turday the general price, wholesale, was as fol:ows :—York-
shire Reds, ZSs to 9s. per cwt. ; American Kidneys, 9s. and 10a ;
ChaMpions (inferior kind), 6s. to 7s. per 112 lbs. ; a small
quantity were offered at ss. 6d.; but were of a very bad con-
dition, in consequence of the prevalent disease. Retail, the
price of potatoes are, the cheapest, 3 lb. for 211, and the
finest 2d. t0.21d. per lb. The price having increased to such
an extent, the consumption is reduced nearly two• thirds.
ROBBERY AT ORIEL COLLEGE.—Yesterday informa-
tion was forwarded to the Metropolitan and City police of an
extensive robbery of jewellery, plate, Sze., which took place
at the above college, at Edinburgh, between the evening of
the 20th and the morning of the 22d instant.
_ _

PRICE OF GoLi.—On the 20th instant the price of
gold in llambnrgh was 4341 per mark, which, at the English
Mint price of Si. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 13 9i; and the exchange at Hamburgh on
London, at short date, being 13 I.li, it results that gold
is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than -in Hamburgh.
On the 23d instant the premium on gold at Paris was
12 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 45, and the exchange at Paris on London, at short
date, being 25 57i„ it results that gold is 0.50 per cent. dearer
in London than in Paris.

PREMATURE BURIAL.—At a late sitting of the Paris
Academy of Sciences, M. Le Guam pointed out the danger
of enforcing the regulation for interment within the short
period of time now allowed. The author says, he has ascer-
tained that since the year 1833 not less than 94 premature
burials have been prevented by accidental causes. Thirty-
five of the persons supposed to be dead had awoke from their
lethargy at the moment when their coffins were about to be
nailed down ; 13 had been recovered by care ; 7 by the up-
setting of the coffins in which they had been placed ; 9 by
incisions or punctures in pinning their shrouds; 19 by acci-
dental delays in the ceremony of interment; 6, by delays,
which had been created purposely by their friends, and by
other causes. M. Le Guern supposes, with much reason, thatt
the number of:persons prematurely buried must befvceroyurgsreeais,
ike
burials,t hat wlahne
His estimateis 27 a year, at the least. This,
vho were sa% et y chance
merely conjectural, but from the numberof.aitoitbhenticaled
cases which he gives of persons
from this horrible fate,weaorefoill'icylin2V
he takes an annual average pit.oontahtiun
is very much below the truth.
On Monday the caterers of the remaining houses in
the streets, banes, and alleys in the Rookery of St.
were served with notices, from the Commissioners of Woods
and Foresis, immediately to suit their habitations, for the
purpose
of razing the whole of them .to the ground. Excel-
lent houses are to be erected on the site of the Rookery.
:4EnicktiS INJURY CAUSEDDY TIM SNUFF OF 'A CANDLE.
—On Monday evening; betiveen five and six o'clock, a serious
.accident occurred to Alissisabella Lenade, of Wardour-street, „
Soho, who incautiously 'snuffed the candle with her scissors.
when, the snuff falling on her dress, it ignited, and, notwith-
standing her screams brought 'immediate assistance, so se-
riously is she injured, that but slight hope's are entertained
of her recovery.

GREAT FOOT Race.—The foot race for 501. aside
between Butler and East, two well-known pedestrians, came
oil' yesterday at Hayes. In consequence of the presumed
superiority of Butler, his backers gave East five minutes'
start, in a distance of twenty miles, but notwithstanding
these great odds, Butler was the favourite in sporting cribs.
Both men had been in active training for the last month,
and considerable sums were bet at sto 4 on Butler ; but
In consequence of a report which had gained circulation on
i3aturday night, that he had been taken ill, a change took
plaee, and East enjoyed the favouritism at about the odds
above quoted. The men appeared at the twelfth mile-stone
on the tixbridge road, to walk to the thirteenth and back, at
a little before two o'clock. Preliminaries having been
arranged, East went away with his five minutes' start, at a
smart rattling speed, and was followed after the stipulated
interval by Butler, at an equal, if not superior pace, and he
gained twenty seconds in the first mile. In the second and
third miles, however, he lost ground, but then, with slight
variations, began to mend again; and at the end of the
tenth had reduced the five minutes' start to four.
East continuedn to pursue his course in capital style, and so
obvious was it to men acquainted with such matters that
Butler could not win, that 4 to 4 was freely offered on East :
odds which increased in many. instances to t and 7 to 1.
In each milesucceeding East improved his advantage, and
at the end of the figtimenth mile Butler resigned, his oppo-
nent being at the a mile a-head of him. East
walked the remainder of tnarldyittance in order to claim, and
completed the twenty miles in ee kours fourteen minutes
ten seconds. Butler, it was stated, was attacked with cramp
in the stomach two or three times during the race.
