ASTLEY'S THEATRE.

A very successful season closed on Saturday. The
regular period for closing the theatre was on the previous
Saturday ; but in consequence of the attractive nature of
the performances, the managers determined upon having
six supplementary nights. The entertainments consisted
principally of gymnastic and equestrian feats, the whole
concluding with a dramatic piece called The Assassin
Labourer. For the two former all the talent that could
possibly be engaged was introduced, and the house was
nightly crowded to overflow, but more especially on Sa-
turday night, when Mr. Ducßow, previous to the corn-
mencenaent of the afterpiece, came forward and addressed
the audience as follows :

" Ladies and Gentlemen,—This being the last night I have
the honour of appearing before you this season, I feel it my
duty personally to express my, Mr. West's, and the performers'
best thanks, both for the encouragement and applause received
at your hands. During the close of the theatre our time will
be employed in preparing for your entertainment; and it is to be
hoped that our exertions will prove as productive next season
as they have this. Ido not complain, as most managers of
theatres do, of want of encouragement; our treasury is the
best proef that the entertainments have met with your appro-
bation. lam not prepared with a set speech for this occasion,
and I shall at once proceed to the purpose which has brought
me before you, and that is, Ladies and Gentlemen, of saying
farewell until I shall have the honour of seeing you again."—
(Great applause.)

Mr. DUCROW, and the principal part of his company,
will proceed on Sunday, the 20th inst., to Norwich ; and
on Monday, the 28,h, the Olympic Arena at that place
will be opened for equestrian and other performances.
Messrs. GOMERSAL and CONQUEST, who do not travel
with Mr. Ducaow, have opened the Garrick, and they
have been joined by Miss POPE, SIDNEY, and FOSTER,
and several others, from Astley's.

MEMOIRS OF THE IRISH UNION.-Sir
Jonah Barrington in this, his principal work, is the histo-
rian of a most eventful and singular epoch. He drvelops
all the hidden springs that produced that legislative incor-
poration of the two countries, which was with so much
difficulty establisher), and which has now again become
the subject of public discussion. His work is especially
valuable as a revelation of the secret views and sentiments
and private motives of the leading characters who have
belonged to one of the most remarkable historians of
modern times.

SAUGOR.—A party of antiquarians, now
engaged in making researches in the remote parts of this
district, have discovered an ancient temple, of a curious and
obsolete style of architecture, and bearing &merit inscrip-
tions which refer to a period antecedent to the Mahomme-
dan conquest. These travellers describe in glowing terms
the picturesque country through which they have passed,
abounding in bill and valley, wood and lake; but those
fetures of nature which the lover of the picturesque views
with such interest will become the valleys of death to the
traveller who may attempt to penetrate them in the season
of rain and malaria. Several parties of trigonometrical
surveyors have lately passed through this station, with the
view of carrying on the grand operations of the late Colo-
nel Lamb'on. The present Chief of the Department ha-
himself taken the field. This survey commenced its
operations many years ago, at Trichinopoly, whence it
has derived its appellation.—Benyal Hurharu.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING, 183 a
Newmarket, Sunday Atterno n.
The list for the ensuing mating is prolific of betting
races. It contains the G.rden, Clearrve arid Prender.
gast Stakes, ten matches, plates, &1,. For the Garden
Sakes Kate is first favourite, with scarcely anything to
recommend her beyond :he light weight put on her, and
the general strength of Cooper's stable, which during the
last meeting came out in high force. Basto, with preten-
sions of a similar character, has been backed at 4 and 5
to 1. The Whale ran at Goodwood with old horses,
running second to Ruhini over the Cup Course, two miles
and a half, and winning the King's Plate (nearly fiur
miles) the following day; this would imply that he is
competent to the T M.M., but he does not seem to be
fancied at the Weight; he gives his year to Basta, 1716.
to /Egyptus, and receives only 61b. from Kate. Rouncivai
carries the tnp weight for four-yr-olds, and, with 2Egyp-
tus, is nominally in the market at 6to 1. The last price
quoted against Kate was 2 to 1 ; Basto and the Whale at
about 9 to 2 each.

THE CLEARWELL STAKES. —The principal favourite
is Mr. Nevi Amado, by Sultan ; she won the Hopeful
Stakes in a canter, beating a bad field, the distance only
half a mile; she is a nice-looking mare and goes well.
Next to her is Mr. Forth's Louisa, winner of the T.Y.C.
Stakes at Ascot, beating Comet (carrying 31b, extra)
and some others cleverly ; she is a large powerful mare of
the right sort of blood for running on. There are about
thirty others in the field that have not yet been out in
P• uhlic The last odds were sto 2 agst Amado, and 7to 2
agst Louisa.
PRENDERGAST STAKES.-Zulima, winner of the July
Stakes, is first favourite, but no odds quoted. Pincher, a
winner twice, is in it, and nearly thirty " dark" horses.
The result of these two races will operate powerfully on
the Oaks betting.
The match between Marpessa and Vespa, winner of
the Oaks, excites considerable interest; Marpcssa is the
favourite at 5 to 4. Crutch has two matches over his
old length, the T.Y.C. ; he gives Galata a year and 71b.,
aid to Rubini, if the same year, 121 b. ; it is reported how-
ever, that neither of them will run. As yet few of our
regular visitors have arrived; we have seen only the
Earl of Verulam, Mr. Irby, Mr. Vansittart, Mr. Worrall,
Capt. Grant, Mr. Rswlinson, &c. A large company is
expected on Tuesday morning.
The sport to-morrow is not likely to be so good as the
list would apply, the whole of the matches being expected
to end in forfeits. We are informed that Hawker will
pay for the Garden Stakes. We subjoin the appoint-
ments as they now stand. _ .
