QUEEN'S THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.—A crowded
audience was richly entertained yesterday evening by
the graceful aril brilliant performance of Mademoiselle
Auriol, the cel-1 danseuse, and not less by the
astonishing feats of Fl'xtnore, the equaay renowned
pantomimic contortionist. They both appeared for
the first time en the Dublin stage last night, and suc-
ceeded, a merreille, in exciting wonder and winning ad
miration—Mat lle. Auriol, by her eraceful and singu.
larly expressive action in a dumb character, and Flex
more, by his matchless personification of the appearance.
habits, and lithe agility of an individual of the monkey
tribe. Cuvier defines the Borneo ape as being " most
painfully like man in external appearance, differing,
however, from the human subject in anatomical for-
mation and in baying no notions of religion." Cer-
tainly some of Flexmore's amazing jumps and contor-
tions would lead one to cla oily him in the genus quad/w-
-e/Lana. The French newspapers teem with ,xtatic en-
coniums on his performance. The entertainments of
the evening opened with the promised new drama,
"The Avalanche," which was produced in a style of ex-
treme taste and splendour, as regards scenery, cestumes,
and decorations. Our space does not permit our speak-
ing of this piece and it., style of presentation till our
next notice. We congratulate the lessee on what pro-
mises to be the most successful coup of the season.—

THE DERBY RACE AT EPSOM —The richest Derby
ever won was in 1849—the Fiying Dutchman's year—
when the value of the stakes was 6,3261. The race has
been timed for the past eleven years. The quickest ,
run race was that by Surplice, who covered the ground
in 2 mins. 48 secs., 12 secs. quicker than the Flying
Dutchman, 4i secs, speedier than West
sAGully and
and 9 secs. quicker than Teddington.
Risdale, it was calculated, won 50,0001. when Sr. Giles
won in 1832. The same parties, stoodw to win
winning year,
80.000/. on Red Rover in
1830. Waxy and Sir Peter wPrialshe sires of the
four were
each :—Eclipse got
most Derby winners,
on 5,0001. about Daniel
three. Mr. F. Swindells
O'Rourke, although he bad notw entered a bet in his book
before the horses went up to start. e'ri:est
Dutchman, Austra-
lian, The Flying and Teddington were
the years when the fortune of the gentleman division
prevailed. They " milked " the ring of 150,0001 in
the latter's year
The gentleman's gentlemen's
year was
Vol tigeur. The ring triumphed in
Little Wonder and Merry Monarch's year. Mr.
Davis,
"the Leviathan," a few year- ago a journeyman
carpenter working for Messrs. Cubitt,) bas been known to
make a book of 100,000/., but now bets only little before
a race comes off. He stood to win a like amount by
Barbarian's success, and half the sum if Hotspur had
won. In Voltigeur's year 40,000/. was paid over his
list counter to the backers of that horse. He paid Mr
Greville a cheque for 15,000 i. the day after Teddington
won. Daniel O'Rourke is said to have cost him
30,0001., as parties had got on at 100 to 1. He paid
Ar. Bowes a cheque for 30,0001. in West Australian's
year, and lost in ail over that horse 48,0001:
the Prime of Wales, afterwards George the
Fourth, won the race with Sir Thomas in 1788, and his
brother, the Duke of York, on two occasions—in 1816
with Prince Leopold, and in 1822 with Moses, who was
4 afterwards sold to the Duke of Richmond for 1,100 go.
