HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A new comic drama, in two acts, intitled Grist to the
Mil!, was produced at this theatre last evening. We
understand it is from the pen of Mr. Planche, and from
the amusing nature of the incidents, the smartness of the
dialogue, and the excellence of the acting of all con-
cerned, the name may be considered as prophetic • for
we have no doubt but that this exceedingly clever little
drama will bring "grist to the mill" for some
time to come. The scene is laid in the neighbour-
hood of Poitiers, in the early part of the reign of
Louis XV., when Cardinal Fleury was Minister.
The mill is occupied by Francine (Madame Vestris), the
widow of an officer in the army. Her charms attract
the notice of Merluchet (Mr. Strickland), the Vidame of
Poitiers ; but of course the awkward attentions of the
old Vidame are jestingly repulsed, and the door of the
mill is shut in his face. The Marquis de Richeville (Mr.
Charles Mathews), on whose estate the mill is situated,
is a nobleman of about forty-five years of age,
exceedingly rich, but of such penurious habits, that
he denies himself \ all the luxuries, and many of
the necessaries of life. He has a nephew, Thierry
Dumont (Mr. Howe), the son of his sister, who having
formed a mesalliance in marrying Thierry's father, has
been discarded by the Marquis. Thierry comes to the
neighbourhood, for the purpose, if possible, of procuring an
interview with his uncle, and meets in Francine with an old
friend. While loitering about in the neighbourhood of
the mill the ' Vidame enters, and Thierry recog-
nises in him a former acquaintance, a ci-devant
captain of musqueteers. The loquacious Vidame
intirms Thierry of a: plot which he has laid,
in conjunction with an antiquated maiden consin,
Mademoiselle de Merluchet (Mrs. W. Clifford) to
secure the Marquis as a husband for the lady. The
unfortunate Marquis had been invited to the chateau of
the lady--had been directed by the Vidame purposely
into the lady's chamber—had been followed by the lady,
who, having locked -the door, commenced screaming
violently, when the-attendants entering, discovered the
unhappy Marquis- in -her apartment. Thierry seeks
Francine to endeavour to devise some plan to frustrate
the schemes of the Vidame, while the latter, accompa-
nied by his cousin, goes to the chateau of the
Marquis, to follow out their plan. At the chateau
they find the Prince de Conte (Mr. H. Holl),
who had been deported by the Government
to inquire into the character of the Marquis, who had
been seeking office and honour from the Court. The
Prince tells the Marquis that ho cannot recommend the
Government to grant the application of ,a man of such
a miserable miserly character. Before the Marquis can
recover from his astonishment at this announcement,, the
Vidame and his cousih enter and demand justice, and
the Prince directs that the Marquis shall
marry the lady instantly, unless he can show
good and sufficient cause for refusing to do so.
The Marquis is extricated from this difficulty by the
appearance of Francine, who, dressed in a riding-habit,
enters, and, to the astonishment of every one, announces
herself as the Marchioness de Richeville ; explains that
she has been secretly married to the Marquis for
some time, during which she has resided at
a splendid chateatt of the Marquis's in Nor-
mandy, and that she is determined to have everything in
the same style at Richeville. The Marquis, as-
tonished, dares not to contradict her, having
a wholesome dread of the Merluchet affiance,
shonld the truth be discovered. She turns the Vidame
and:his sister out of the house—orders a feast to be pre-
pared for the Prince—has a bullock roasted whole, and
given away to the peasants in the park—sends for Thierry,
and forces the Marquis .not only to receive him, but to
purchase him a regiment. The Prince is enchanted with
her, and for her sake grants the Marquis the favours
which he had requested, while, in return, he requests
her to grant him an interview in the pavilion in the
garden. The Vidame, in the meantime having disco-
vered who she is,retums to the chateau,and secretes himself
in the garden just in time to hear her inform the Prince
that she is not the wife of the Marquis, and that her
reason for so representing herself was to save the
Marquis from Merluchet, and to re-unite him to his
nephew. The Marquis, who has been brought by
Thierry to the spot, is so fascinated with her, that he
comes forward and offers her his hand, which she con-
sents
shown

habits. The piece was admirably acted. Madame
Vestris was quite herselt as Francine. Her cool
assumption of superiority over " those persons,"
as she invariably denominated the Vidame and
his cousin, was most diverting ; and her manner
of alternately coaxing and threatening the un-
fortunate Marquis was excellent. Madame Vestris is
fitted to a nicety in this part, and she acts it to admira-
tion. Charles Mathews was always a clever actor, his
Marquis de Richeville proves him an accomplished
artist. His representation of the staid, prematurely-old
miser was perfect ; there was no buoyancy, no bustle,
no effervescence—he was the penurious old man ; but
neither was there anything vulgar, although the part
offered many temptations for the production of
farcical effect. Mr. Charles Mathews, however, never
once gave way to this—he never forgot for a single in-
stant that although -a miser he was also a nobleman.
There was a polish and a good-breeding about his- very
penury, that rendered it impossible to forget for an
instant that he was one of the ancient noblesse. As a
representation of character, his Marquis de Richeville is
perhaps the most artistical thing that Mr. Charles
Mathews has yet done. Strickland, as the Vidame, was
exceedingly humoronii,-and Mrs. W. Clifford's old maid
was superb. Mr. Clark, who always makes so much of a
little part, was admirable as the page to the Marquis.
His look at being told by Francine that his wages should
be doubled was inimitable. Madame Vestris was called
for at the fall of the curtain, and led forward by Mr.
Charles Mathews, who announced the piece for repeti-
tion every evening amidst the unanimous applause of the
audience. The house was very well attended.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE•

QUEEN'S-SQUARE.
Two well-dressed youths, John Cannon, a baker, and John
Holder, described by
his opponent as " a sort of a kind of a
coal-merchant's clerk," apeared before the magistrate on an
assault summons.
The difference between the parties had arisen from the
circumstance of complainant Cannon having favoured a
young lady of soft seventeen with his polite attentions, and
being apprehensive that defendant, who lodged in the same
house with the tender object of his regard, was endeavouring
to ingratiate himself into her favour, or, in common parlance,
to " cut him out." The degree of encouragement, if any,
given by the lady did not appear, but the suitors were at
daggers drawn with each other, and defendant having called
the other young gentleman a puppy, the complainant penned
the following, in the height of his indignation, and duly for-
" Sir,—To say that I
for-
warded it per post :
foolish and
childish conduct would be to tell a most flagrant falsehood ;
for indeed I do consider you capable of any mean and silly
act whatsoever; yet I beg just to inform you, Sir, that if
am surprised at your very
you do not immediately relinquish your silly schoolboy's
actions of whistling after me when I am about my daily
employment, I shall first write and acquaint Mr. T. of your
conduct, and should that prove ineffectual, I shall then pro-
ceed to chastise you, perhaps in the same manner as angry
mothers punish their naughty children. Now if you've the
sense of a man, you will never insult me again. In short,
you will know how to act towards yours, &c.,
N
" JOH CANNON."
Complainant was just luxuriating in the idea that his letter
had duly impressed defendant with the idea of his superioribty,
when the latter came up to him in the street, and putting is
fist in his face challenged him to fight. Complainant was not
disposed to disgrace himself by such an ungentlemanly exhi-
bition, and came to this office for a warrant.
Defendant said he could not see what complainant had to
be jealous of; or to come there about. First, he "wanted to
tight, and then he did not, after sending him such a very un-
gentlemanly letter.
Mr. 13unitELL pronounced it a schoolboy quarrel, and dis-
missed the complaint.
CLERKENWELL.
Wm. Green was charged on suspicion of breaking into the
premises of Mr. Evans, a boot and shoe-maker, residing in
Paddington-street, Marylebone, and stealing therefrom pro-
perty to a considerable amount; also on suspicion of being
concerned with Wm. Thomp and Anne Thompson, who
stand committed, in several other robberies.
Mr. Wolff appeared for the prisoner Green.
The evidence adduced went: to prove that Green had dis-
posed of a pair of the boots stolen from Mr. Evans, in whose
employment the prisoner was up to the day preceding that
on which the burglary was committed. In the house of
Thompson were founda large number of pawnbrokers' du-
plicates, relating to articles pledged by Green, and several of
which were identified as having been stolen from a furnished,
but unoccupied, house inStoke Newington.—Remanded.
OMNDIEfi RACING.--Joseph Parfait and John Cray, drivers
of the Metropolitan stage carriages 3,292 and 10 were
charged with furious driving by Doctor Smith, a gentleman
residing in Venflam-buildings, Gray's Inn.
It appeared from the evidence of the Doctor, and of other
witnesses, that on Saturday last the prisoners drove their
respective omnibusses at full gallop down the narrow part of
Gray's Inn-lane. The Doctor was driving towards them in a
pbhyaoentoeno,fwtliiiich
omnibusese
was
sonsly saved from being smashed to atoms
e
s coming in contact with a donkey-
cart, which was driven in upon the pavement. Cray was,
however, much mere culpable, as he began the race.
Mr. GREENWOOD said it was a mercy they had not killed
somebody in that crowded and narrow thoroughfare. Ho
would send Cray to prison for three weeks, and hard labour ;
and Parfait should pay a line of 21.
Sarah Evans was charged with carrying and conveying
thirty-six packages of foreign manufactured tobacco, value
4/. 3s. Bd., which had been unshipped without paying the
regular Custom fees The penalty was laid at 1001.
The prisoner is well known to the Excise. On the pre-
vious evening she was met in Gray's Inn-road, by Davis and
Patten, officers of the Custom-house, carrying the tobacco,
and accompanied by a man, who ran away whenLhe saw the
officers. They took her into custody, and sh 6 said- a man had
given her the tobacco to carry. •
Mr. Cornell, Queen's Appraiser, proved that the tobacco,
which had come from Berlin, had not paid the Customs fees.
The prisoner was fined 100 L, Mr. GREENWOOD telling her
she was at liberty to appeal to the Board of Excise, who
would probably mitigate the penalty if she could bring for-
ward any extenuating circumstances.

Business, on the whole was nearly as dull on this race as

Rattan, and Loadstone. The first two were backed freely at
the odds quoted above. The Buck recovering his lead, and
his party apparently as fond as ever. Loadstone was intro-
duced at 30 to 1, and, on a moderate outlay, improved five
points. A disposition to lay against Orlando, and a con-
sequent decline, is the only other noticeable movement.

NERVOUS DEAFNESS.—" ARNICA MONTANA."—A
paper of considerable importance to sufferers from nervous deaf-
ness was read on Saturday afternoon, by Dr. Cronin, Craven-
street, Strand (physician to the Free Dispensary for Asthma),
on the efficacy of " arnica montana " in the cure of
this distressing affection. The lecturer observed that deaf-
ness was more prevalent than was generally imagined—that
there was a marked difference between nervous derangement
and structural changes, and that he believed the frequent
failure of aurists in the cure of deafness arose from a total
inattention to the difference between disorders arising from
either mere torpor or increased irritability, and those to
which were superadded structural alterations. He next
called attention to the natural history, chemical constitution,
and medical properties of the arnica, observing that, having
found it highly beneficial in several distressing nervous af-
fections, he tried it in nervous deafness, and had much plea-
sure in alluding to the cases of several highly respectable per-
sons completely relieved by its use. Dr. Cronin then com-
mented on the mutilation practised by some aurists of re-
moving the uvula and glands of the throat, and remarked
-that operations of this kind tended, from the shock produced
on the nervous sytern, to increase, rather than diminish, the
disease, and concluded some highly-interesting observations,
by stating that the College of Physicians omitted in their last
"-Pharmacopoeia" this valuable remedy, but hoped it would
be restored in their next.—Standard An abstract of the
ecture will shortly be published by Mr. Cronin.
ErrEcrs or RAILWAYS.—Within the last month,
the two principal postmasters of Rochester have appealed
against the amount at which their premises were rated to the
poor, stating, as the ground of their claim, that, in conse-
quence of the decrease of traffic on the road to Dover, the
value of their property is materially depreciated. On the
last application of this nature, the guardians said that pro-
perty of all kind in that city was materially lowered in value,
and the board of guardians for the parish of St. Nicholas,
Rochester, have consequently determined to reduce the valua-
tion of the whole parish. It is understood that the proposed
reduction will amount to one-fifth of the whole.

Lord Granville's health has much improved during
his sojourn at Kemp Town, where his Lordship entertained
Lord and Lady Rivers and a select party at dinner on Thesday.
