" To Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Baronet, and

the Baron de Teissier."

Mr. Gill left the above letter with the Baron de
Teissier on Friday morning last, and was directed to
attend at the Stewards' Stand in the afternoon, at four
o'clock, for an answer. Mr. G. accordingly did so,
when he was informed by the Baron de Teissier that
in consequence of the absence of Col. Peel from the
races no appointment could be made ; but that Col.
Anson had promised to see Col. Peel, and to send an
answer to the Baron de Teissier on Saturday, at
twelve o'clock, and Mr. Gill was directed to attend
upon the Baron at one o'clock at Epsom. Mr.
Gill attended on Saturday accordingly, but the Baron
had received a letter stating that no answer could be
given until seven o'clock in the evening. At that
hour Mr. Gill, with Mr. Wood, again attended upon
the Baron de Teissier when the Baron communicated
to them a letter, he had received from Colonel Peel,
offering to refer the matter to a barrister, to be
selected by the Lord Chief Justice, and stating that
he had then commenced an action against Messrs.
Weatherby, whereupon Mr. Wood declined to agree
to such reference, and the objection being superseded.
the Baron considered, so far as the Stewards were con-
cerned, the matter was at an end, and subsequently
ent to Mr. Gill, a letter, of which the following is a
copy

"May 25.
" Sir—Having received an intimation from Col. Peel
that he has caused notice of action to be served on Mr.
Weatherby, we decline further interference with the
uestion of the quilification of the horse Running,Rein.

LEANDER.

That the public may hear both sides of the ques-
tion, we again refer to this luckless animal, for the
purpose of publishing copies of two certificates sent to
Tattersall's yesterday afternoon by Mr. Forth. His
statement in explanation of the first is to the effect
that, in February last, having tried Leander to be a
very superior horse, he was anxious to satisfy himself
with regard to the rumours that had been circulated
concerning his age, and for this purpose had his
mouth examined by Mr. Wood, the veterinary sur-
geon, of Arundel, from whom he received a certificate,
bearing his own and his clerk's signatures, that he
was only three years old. This appears a strong point
in favour of Mr. Forth ; but it is now asked, " Was
the horse submitted to Mr. Wood for examination the
identical Leander, or an animal, professedly Leander,
of the age mentioned in the certificate ?" In a case
of so much suspicien, and opposed, as Mr. Wood's
opinion is, by those given by Messrs. Field and Bart-
lett, the strongest corroborative evidence should have
been produced.
With respect to the removal of the lower jaw, Mr.
Forth affirms that, on its being brought to him by
Mr. Mitchell, he directed it to be boiled, for the
purpose of removing the flesh, and that the jaw was
afterwards sealed up, in order to its inspection by
Mr. Field, on Saturday. In conclusion, Mr. Forth
declares that, from first to last, he has acted upon a
conviction that the horse's age was rightly stated, and
that, notwithstanding Mr. Field's opinion, he still
retains it.

The following are copies of the certificates:—
" Arundel, May 27, 1844. •
"I hereby certify that in the month of February last
I examined, privately, at Mr. Forth's request, the horse
Leander, and pronounced him to be then three years old.
At that time he had a decided three yrs old mouth, and
the tusks had not shown themselves.
"J. WOOD,
S. T. HARMAN."

" Worthing, May 20, 1844.
" I hereby solemnly declare that I cut the under jaw
from Leander, in the presence of several persons, not at
the request of Mr. Forth, but thinking, as the horse lay,
it was the youngest mouth I had ever seen, I thought it
would be a satisfaction to Mr. Forth to show his friends.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
Blanche de Valmy is the title of a very interesting
two act drama, from the pen of Mr. Bayle Bernard,
which was produced at this theatre last evening. The
scene of the first act is laid at Strasburgh, in the

year 1811, where we find Blanche de Ira-"my (Ma-
dame Eugenie Prosper), very young, very fasci-
nating, and very coquettish, residing with her uncle,
Colonel Chatillon (Mr. Granby), the commandant of
the garrison. Her hand is sought for by all the
officers, and she flirts with them all. Captain Franval
(Mr. Walton), who is devotedly attached to her,
appears for some time to be the favoured suitor. He,
however, introduces his friend, Captain St. Hilare
(Mr. W. Lacy) to his intended. St. Hilare is fasci-
nated by her charms, and, on Franval remonstrating
with her somewhat harshly, she gives her hand to St.
Hilare, and the first act ends with their marriage.
.The period of the second act is 1815, just
after the second restoration of the Bourbons.
Colonel Chatillon, now raised to the rank of general,
is appointed commandant of the district of the Rhine,
and is accompanied by his nephew and niece, the
Count and Countess St. Hilare.' Blanche loves her
husband devotedly, but, through the machinations of
Franval, St. Hilare has been induced to suspect her
truth. From the moment of their union Franval had
commenced his scheme of revenge by meetingßlanche
everywhere, forcing his attentions on her, writing
letters alluding to her former connection, and in-
sinuating that her affection for him still continued,
taking care that these letters shall fall into the hands
of St. Hilare, who is driven almost to madness with
jealousy, whilst his constant reproaches have produced
such an effect upon Blanche as to have reduced her to
the brink of the grave. She has entreated St. Hilare
to accompany her uncle to the Rhine, and to take her
with them, hoping thus to escape the pursuit of Franval.
Shortly after her arrival at the inn St. Hilare enters,
and charges her with having plotted the excursion for
the purpose of meeting Franval, whom he declares
he has just met under her window. Her denial of all
knowledge of Franval's arrival, her protestations of
her love and fidelity to her husband, are all in vain.
He rushes out with a brace of pistols, determined to
meet Franval, and fight him at once. The silent
agony of Blanche, as immediately afterwards the re-
port of fire-arms is heard, was admirably delineated
by Madame Eugenie Prosper. No words could have
produced half the effect. They have not met, how-
ever. The shots had proceeded from soldiers who
were firing after various of the proscribed, who were
attempting to escape across the Rhine. A list
of the proscribed is posted on the inn door.
Among the names appears that of Franval ; and all
those in the list are to be shot within six hours after
their apprehension. Faint and exhausted, Fran-
val enters the room, and, to her horror, Blanche re-
cognises in the fugitive, who implores her protection,
her former lover. He recognises her also, and de-
manding pardon of her for the past, is about to sur-
render himself to the soldiers, who are heard ap-
proaching without, when she bids him disguise him-
self in her husband's cloak, and producing her hus-
band's passport, tells the officer that they are the
Count and Countess of St. Hilare, and thus saves
him from arrest. The guards leave them. She per-
ceives her husband approaching, and conceals Fran-
val in her room. St. Hilare enters. The innkeeper,
who has come in for orders, makes some observa-
tions on his conduct when the soldiers were there.
St. Hilare's suspicions are aroused—he orders the
innkeeper to leave the room—demands who it was
that had assumed his name, and Blanche, choking
with emotion, points to the list of the proscribed.
He sees the name of Franval ; and rushes towards
the room in which she had concealed him ;
she struggles to prevent his entrance, and the guards
enter and arrest St. Hilare himself as Franval. It
is vain that he protests he is St. Hilare—" The Count
St.Hilare," says the captain of gensdarmes, "has just
been escorted across the Rhine." " Ah, my pass-
port I" he exclaims ; the unhappy Blanche has given
the passport to Franval—to save him she has sacri-
ficed the life of the husband she adores. The acting
of Madame Eugenie Prosper throughout the whole
of this trying scene, was the most beautifully touch-
ing we have ever seen. There was no rant, no noise
—all was quiet, but the intensity of her agony was
only the more apparent, and the more harrowing from
its very quietness; the quivering lip, the fixed eye, the
agonised expression of countenance, bore evidence to the
intensity of her anguish, more naturally, more truly,
and more effectively than could any of those exagge-
rated expressions of woe which an inferior artist would
have thrown into the part. Madame Eugenie
I"rosper showed herself a true artist in her delinea-
tion of this harrowing scene. Her acting was true
tragedy, and tragedy of the very highest order. The
opportune entry of General Chatillon, who orders the
immediate release of st. Hilare, and the arrival at the
same time of a note from Franval, inclosing the pass-
port, and acknowledging awl craving parclO4 for his
