PREFERENCE SHARES.

The grand spectacle of " The Taking of Canton,"
i▪ s nightly attracting very full audiences to this
world renowned theatre. Nothing can exceed the
vivid effect produced by the mimic attack and cap-
ture of the devoted city ; and the loud applause
elicited is well deserved. Last night a very amus-
i▪
ng incident occurred " in front," as it is profes-
sionally termed. A jolly Jack Tar—a genuine son
of Old Neptune—was heartily enjoning the play
in the gallery, and applauded everything most
lustily. The only person who seemed to offend
Jack was Commissioner Yeti. In the second act
the Imperial Commissioner makes his appearance
on board ship, and after a very bombastic speech
he advises the English captain to refrain from
encountering the terrific valour of the Chinese
braves, and to return home. Scarcely had
the Commissioner uttered the words than Jack
emphatically, and with strong emphasis, exclaimed,
rt you be d— !" This sudden ebullition of feel-
ing produced loud laughter, and which his High-
ness and the rest of the actors could not refrain
from enjoying. At the conclusion of the spectacle
Mr. William Cooke executed his promised feat of
taming a VICIOUS horse according to the reported
principles of Mr. Rarey. A horse was led into
the arena, which Mr. William Cooke informed the
house he had never till that moment seen, the crea-
ture having been just brought to the establishment,
it is to be presumed for the purpose of having its
vicious propensities eradicated under the treatment
of Mr. Cooke. After the horse had been paraded
round the ring several times, Mr. Cooke made his
appearance with an assistant. One of the fore legs
of the equine patient was then bent inwards as far
as possible, and strapped as tightly as to render it
utterly powerless. By this arrangement the animal
was of course confined to the use of but three of
its legs, and a leading strap having been attached
to the fore leg, which was still at tiberty, Mr.
William Cooke grasped that leading strap firmly at
the horse's shoulder with one hand, while its head
was secured with the other ; by this means the
slightest effort of the animal was controlled or mo-
dified. The patient, utterly powerless under this
novel discipline, having hopped around the arena
seve al times helplessly on two legs and a half, at
last fairly rolled over, precipitating Mr. Cooke in
his sudden fall, and leaving him recumbent on the
sand of the field of strife. The vanquished charger
having panted for some time on the ground with
every appearance of exhaustion, at last recovered
its equanimity, whereupon be was rewarded by the
caresses of his conqueror, who sat the while in
triumph cn his prostrate body. The ligatures were
then removed, and the animal was led out to all
appearance " a wiser and a better horse." This
performance appeared to give general satisfactien,
as Mr. Cooke was called for several times at its
termination.
