HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Mr. Stevens, the ma-
nager of the free-list office at this house, takes his benefit
this evening, when Hamlet, with an attractive cast, will
be performed. We hope the amateurs and others who
have repeatedly experienced Mr. Steven's polite atten-
tion, will come forward and give him the bumper he de-
serves.
ANOTHER NEW ASTEROID.—A tenth planet, be-
longing to the group which revolve between Mars and
Jupiter, has just been discovered by Professor Kaiser, of
Leyden. It is calculated that this planet performs its
revolutions round the sun in three years and eight
months. The ninth asteriod, which was discovered by
(we believe) Mr. Hind, about three months ago, has not
yet been named ; it may, perhaps, be the same as the
one now noticed by Professor Kaiser.
ELOPEDIENT.—A pair of youthful fugitives are
reported at the west end of town to have, during the
past week, suddenly disappeared from an hotel cele-
brated as the resting-place of many distinguished fo-
reigners. The lady is stated to be Mrs. H—, about
22 years of age, who, although generally residing with
her husband at his seat in Wales, usually sesorts during
the fashionable season to town, and stays at the hotel
alluded to. The gentleman is believed tb be Captain
W--, on leave of absence from his regiment in India,
who was staying at the same hotel. Their present place
of whereabout is not yet known.—Observer.
