ADELPHI THEATRE.

The Jockey Club —such is the title of a ne;Equestrian,
Tattersallian, T. Y. C. Extravaganza (we quote from the
hills) which was produced at this theatre last evening,
with the most complete success. Plot it has none—
characters it has, multitudinous. We have Selby as a
French turf amateur, excessively amusing, who has
hired Robinson, the celebrated light weight, to rile
his horse for the T. Y. C. Stakes at Newmarket.
Wright, as Mr. Macassar, the President of a Gent's
Jockey Club in Little Bell Alley, and Miss Woolgar as
Leander Larkington, a brilliant of the first water on
and off the turf. There are scenes on and off the turf.
Off—representing gentlemen making up their books,
and on—representing gentlemen hedging. Then we
have a grand scene of the race, in which Paul Bedford
(fat Paul) as Robinson, the light weight Jock, brings
in his horse so as not to be placed. The
French Marquis is done. The English turfites are vic-
torious, and the curtain falls amidst the acclamations of
the crowd on and off the stage. Such is the Jockey Club,
which was received by a crowded house with loud
plaudits. If asked for the story of the farce, we reply,
in the words of Canning's Knife-grinder—
" Story? Lord bless you I I've none to tell, Sir."

Yet, still, it is amusing. The admirable acting of
Wright, Paul Bedford, and Miss Woolgar, would make
a worse constructed piece go ; and many a club has
been started and lived upon less pretensions than the
Jockey Club of the Adelphi.

BALTE AT VIENNA.—By letters received this
morning from Vienna, we perceive that the success of
The Bohemian Girl, is triumphant. Almost every
piece in the opera is encored—" The Fair Land of
Poland" always commanding a triple encore. Balfe is
called out before the curtain after every act, and is quite
the musical idol of the Viennese opera goers. The first
act, and part of the second, of his new opera:is already
composed.
MARRIAGE IN HIGII LlFE.—Married, on Satur-
day the 10th instant, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop
of Rochester, Edmund, third son of Jehn Round, Esq.,
M.P. for Maldon, to Louisa, daughter of Parker,
Esq., of Springfield Hall, near Chelmsford. The bride
was attended to Springfield Church by bridesmaids. A
very handsome dejeuner was afterwards given at the re-
sidence of the family of the fair bride, and among the
guests were the Lord Bishop of Rochester, Lady Sarah
and Miss Murray, Rev. Dr. Penrose, Mr. John Round,
M.P.; and Miss Round, Mr. F. Round, Mr. Tuffnell,
Mrs. and Miss Rolt, Rev. H. Sullivan, Rev. 11. and Mrs.
13rowne, Mrs. and Miss Bourchier, Miss Repton, Mr. 11.
Green Wilkinson, Mr. C. firower, Mr. Knox, Mr. G.
Round, and the various members of the Parker family.
FIRE IN ST. LURE'S.—Yesterday afternoon an
alarming fire broke out on the premises in the occupation
of Mr. John Taylor, card and pasteboard manufacturer,
11, John's-row, Sr. Luke's. It originated in one of the
lower drying rooms, and speedily extended to the floor
above. The engines were soon at work, but although
the firemen exerted themselves to the utmost, they were
unable to get the flames subdued before a considerable
quantity of the stock in trade was destroyed, and the
building severely damaged. Unfortunately, Mr. Taylor
was not insured.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON ATMOSPHERIC
RAIL wAY.—Yesterday morning, between nine and ten
o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred near Forest-hill,
Sy denhatn, to George Coleman, a servant to the Croydon
Railway Company. He was signalling to the half-past
nine o'clock down train, and he heedlessly stepped on
the atmospheric line, when he was instantly knocked
down and was run over by the fifty minutes past nine
atmospheric up train. On being taken up he was im-
mediately placed in a carriage and conveyed to town,
but expired in a'few minutes. It is stated that the
face of the deceased was directed the wrong way at the
time.

COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR ' WAKEFIELD.—On
Tuesday morning last, between eleven and twelve o'clock,
an explosion of fire-damp took place in Haigh Moor pit,
at Stanley-lane-end, near Wakefield, belonging to
Messrs. Hudson and Co., of Leeds, by which three men
lost their lives. The names of the sufferers m ere Norris
Beaumont, James Sidebottom, and George Clayton, who
were all shockingly burnt.
INCENDIARISM.—Yesterday morning an attempt
was made by some person or persons unknown to de-
stroy the premises belonging to Mr. Salmon, in White-
street, Bermondse3 -street. It appears that u bile police-
constable 185 M was passing along his beat, his atten-
tion was directed to the premises by a strong smell of
fire. Having aroused the inmates, it was soon perceived
that a large bale of woollen yarn, standing in the gate-
way. and under the bedrooms, had been wilfully set on
fire by some one. The goods were not of a very cone•
bustible nature, or it is probable that the place would
have been destroyed.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH A TOBACCO PIPB.--Last
evening, shortly after six o'clock, as a man was walking
on the west side of the London-road, Southwark, with a
lightea pipe in his mouth, he was suddenly knocked down
by another, who was running in an opposite direction,
the force of whom drove the stem of the pipe completely
through his gullet. The poor fellow was immediately
taken to Mr. Hooper's, the parish surgeon, who ex-
tracted the pipe, and ordered his 'instant removal to
Guy's Hospital. On oxsmination by the house surgeon
at the latter place, the injury was found to be of such a
frightful nature that very little hopes are entertained of

The case,
worse then, after inspection of the dispatch, looks
infinitely for the hnildtbiders than it did while
the story was the subject of mere rumour. The repu-
diation by a Government of the acts of its predecessor
was so utterly •Aontitrous that it seemed an impossibility;
but now it appears that the new Government does not
repudiate the bonds because created under the over-
thrown Paredes, but because they were made by the act
of an agent who had no authority to make them. What
will be one in such a state of things it is impossible to
conjecture.
It it to be repeated that copies of the dispatch are in
existence in the City, in spite of all assertions to the
contrary, and in all probability its official publication in
a day or two will open the eyes of those who utter doubts
on the subject.—Times.

DISASTER TO THE ENTER-
- PRISE STEAMER.-
. About a month 'since a steam-vessel, called the Enter-
prise, commenced a series of trading voyages between
the ports of Yarmouth, in Norfolk, and Rotterdam, in
Holland, once a week, in the,sarne manner as the Nor-
folk steamer, which has now been several months en-
gaged in trading between these two places, and it has
been said that the trade is now so considerable that the
proprietors of the Enterprise contemplated making
double voyages during the remainder of the autumn.
We regret, however, that a sad disaster befel their vessel
very early on Friday morning, which, in the infant state
of the trade, may have a tendency to damp the ardour
which the somewhat Shining prospects had begun to in-
spire. On her homeward passage, on-Thursday evening,
she had to encounter a very heavy sea. 'lhe cargo was
pat tly bullocks and sheep, there being near 100 of the
former and 400 of the latter on hoard. The violence of
the waves, and the heaving of the vessel, threw the bul-
locks about, and ultitiaately on one side. This caused
the vessel to tuff, and the seamen could not for a long
time get her righted. Some of the beasts were thrown
do% n the hold amongst the sheep and crushed them,
and others were thrown over board. 'The scene became
a very disastrous one, and we understand that from 40
to GO sheep (tome say a vast many more) were mangled
and trodden upon. Some bad their legs and some tneir
necks-end backs broken, and near a hundred had to be
,khrown into the sea, or escaped from the vessel. Twenty
or more bullocks were also thrown into the ocean, and
these appear to have been all lost. The vessel afterwards
righted, and soon after reached Yarmouth harbour,
where she arrived with all the passengers and crew safe
early on the Friday morning. The loss, however, of the
sheep and cattle is of a serious kind.

-- -
On Sunday morning the following serious accident
occurred on the Uxbridge road :—About two o'clock, as
Thomas Harris, carter, in the employ of Mr. Johnson,
carrier, of Uxbridge, was returning home with olio of
his master's waggons, drawn by two horses, he fell off
the shafts, and before the horses could be stopped both
wheels had passed over his legs and broke them. The
unfortunate man was conveyed to St. George's Hospital,
where he rEmains in a very kirecarious state.
EXTENSION OF THE EASTERN COUNTIES TELE-
°aApia TO LlVERPOOL.—Preparations are making for
effecting a communication, via Eastern Counties, by
electric telegraph, between London and Liverpool. Be-
tween Ely and Peterborough the wires are already fixed,
and in the opinion of Mr. Powell, the superintendent,
the whole length between London and Liverpool will be
completed in less than two months. From Ely the
wires will run to Stamford, Syston, and Derby, pro-
ceeding by the western branch of the Midland Railway
to Birmingham, and from thence to Liverpool. When
completed, a message will be enabled to be conveyed to
and from Liverpool in eight minutes. A communication
will also be opened 'With York, Newcastle, Hull, Leeds,
&c., by means of the northern branch of the Midland.
Southward of London the electric telegraph will be car-
ried along the north Woolwich line, which will shortly
be opened for traffic, and passing under the Thames, by
means of the submarine telegraph, form a communica-
tion between Woolwich Dockyard and Liverpool. On
the completion of the Thames Haven and North Graves-
end line it is the intention of the company to effect, if
possible, by means of the electric and submarine tele-
graphics, a communication with Sheerness Dockyard.
THE ROYAL Bum HOUNDS.—The first meet of
her Majesty's buck houlids this season will take place at
Salt-hill, as upon the last three occasions, early in the
ensuing month. It is expected that Monday, the 2d
proximo, will be " the opening day." The Earl of
Granville, the newly-appointed Master of the Royal
pack (upon the retirement of the Earl of Rosslyn, and
upon the accession of the Russell Administration), has
just taken the mansion at Fern-hill, lately in the occu-
pation of Sir Felix Booth, on the confines of Windsor
Great Park; and within two miles of the royal kennel at
Ascot, where his Lordship will reside during the whole
of the hunting season. The pack is entirely free from
the disease which had attacked the hounds some two
seasons since. It is now in excellent condition. Several of
the young hounds, which are undergoing the process of
" blooding," have shown great capabilities, and proved
themselves well up to their work. The pack consists of
upwards of fifty couples.
DEATH OF LADY ANNE HAMILTON.—When the
Cohntess of Dunmore's death was announced in the
papers a few months ago, it was said that she was the
only surviving daughter of the late Duke of Hamilton.
This was not true, as her elder sister, Lady Anne Ha-
milton, was living at the time. But, she has now fol-
lowed her sister to the grave. having died at nine o'clock
on Saturday morning. She was seized with her last
fatal illness on the preceding Friday, and we believe re-
mained unconscious from the time of the attack to the
period of her decease. Lady Anne Hamilton was one of
the Princess of Wales's (afterwards Queen Caroline)
ladies in waiting. Ss hen the Princess of \Vales went
abroad in 1814, Lady Anne did not accompany her with
her other ladies ; but when she became Queen Caroline,
and was ou her return to this country, Lady Anne joined
her on her way back to Flanders, and she entered Lon-
don in the same carriage with the Queen. After Queen
Caroline's death, Lady Anne Hamilton retired once
more into private life, and in course of time her means of
a comfortable existence were greatly reduced. After
several changes of residence, she at last retired to a
small house in White Lion-street, Islington, where she
ended her days. Lady Anne Hamilton was the eldest
daughter of Archibald, ninth Duke of Hamilton. She
was born on the 16th of March, 1766, and was conse-
quently in the 81st year of her age.
OPENING OF THE PORTS.—A movement in favour
of opening the ports appears likely to become general.
A meeting will be held this evening, in the Free Trade
Hall at Manchester, of the bankers, merchants, manu-
facturers, and others of that town and neighbourhood,
for the purpose of memorialising the Government to open
the ports without any delay. We trust this example,
which has already been set by Dundee, will be quickly
followed by Liverpool, and other commercial as well as
manufacturing towns. But while they memorialise for
opening the ports, for the purpose of affording every fa-
cility for increased supplies of grain, we trust they will
not omit to press upon the Government the necessity of
admitting sugar for distillation and brewing, as a means
of economising the stocks we at present have.
THE BOISTEROUS WEATHER AND THE MAILS.

LEMON JUICE TO SAILORS.—Another of the nu-
merous cases of failure to comply with that part of the
Merchant Seamen's Act which requires the supply of
lemonjuice and sugar to the crew, when on salt provi-
sions, was brought before the notice of the magistrates
at the Thames Police Court, yesterday. Mr. Thomas
liallen, master of the ship Ruby, West Indiaman, was
fined 5/. for one day's default, though he was liable to
penalties to a large amount for that breach of the law.
APPREHENSION Or AN INCENDIARY.—Yesterday,
information was ri ceived at the various police stations of
the metropolis, of the capture, after considerable diffi-
culty, of Thomas Wiseman, who is suspected of 'lasing
set fire to the premises of George Baldrys, of Hundon, a
few nights since, when considerable property was de-
stroyed.
